The deputy general asked in surprise, “General, this is?”

Tang Jinghong looked up and glanced at everyone with a calm gaze. He slowly said, “The boss gave these to me alone. You’re in for a treat.”

The deputy general said happily, “General, do you know the boss?”

Tang Jinghong raised his voice. “Why?”

The deputy general hesitated for a moment and suggested, “General, there are so many people in the military camp. Why don’t we order more ice cream bars?”

“I have the same intention.” Tang Jinghong sat on the chair. “How much do you think is suitable?”

The deputy general pondered for a moment and said, “General, let’s order 10,000 pieces. The 1st to 5th Battalions can take turns to eat it every day. When the summer is over, we won’t need it.”

Tang Jinghong glanced at the others who remained silent. “Since there’s no objection, it’s decided.” He pointed at the small box with his index finger. “Everyone can take two pieces.”

The deputy general felt that Tang Jinghong was stingy. “General, there are so many. You’re only giving us two pieces?”

Tang Jinghong’s dignified voice sounded. “Is two too many for you?”

“No, that’s not what I mean.” The deputy general was so frightened that he quickly compromised. Otherwise, he would not be able to get one. “Two pieces it is. Thank you, General.”

After taking the ice cream bars, the deputy generals went back to their tent.

Tang Jinghong took out one of each ice cream bar. There were a total of three pieces. He did not touch the rest. He locked the small box and ordered, “Someone.”

A soldier immediately entered. “General.”

Tang Jinghong stroked the surface of the box and said, “Send this box to

General Fan’s residence. Remember to bring the box back.”

The soldier cupped his hands. “Yes, General.”

Time passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it was already evening.

The people working at Chu Qingzhi’s house got off work one by one and walked home with joy on their faces.

Work meant that they could earn money. Chu Qingzhi was generous. In a month, they could earn three taels.

Normally, they would only earn three taels a year.

Li Qingyu and Granny Chu were now in charge of cooking. Considering that their family was better off now, the two of them were not stingy. The food was very good.

After dinner, the whole family gathered in the central room… to count the money.

Shen Ruyue took out the account book and opened it. She cleared her throat and said, ‘Tve sorted out the money from selling ice cream bars during this period of time into the account book. I’ll tell everyone one by one.”

“On the first day, we earned ten taels of silver from selling the ice cream bars and spent two taels.”

“The next day, we earned ten taels of silver and spent one.”

“The third day…”

“We sold all 35,000 ice cream bars today, from which we made 150 taels. In addition, we spent 30 taels of silver to buy sugar.”

“All the money now adds up to a total of 150 taels of silver.”

The money was with Li Qingyu. Shen Ruyue did not touch the money and only kept track of the accounts.

Chu Qingzhi took out the ten taels of silver that Tang Jinghong had given her and the ten taels of silver that Xu Wanrong had given her. “Ruyue, add this to the accounts and mark it as the money I earned from practicing medicine.”

After Shen Ruyue recorded it, Chu Qingzhi took out the 100 taels of silver that Rong Yufan had compensated her with and told her family the origin of the money. “Mark this as compensation.”

Everyone looked at Chu Qingzhi dumbfoundedly. This, this, this was too amazing. Then, they revealed looks of admiration.

Shen Ruyue went through the accounts one by one. She originally thought that Qingzhi’s family was poor, but she did not expect them to be so well off. “The money we have now is 270 taels.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up like the sun in the sky, especially Grandpa Chu and Granny Chu. They had never seen so much money in their lives. Now, their Chu family was rich.

Granny Chu pinched Grandpa Chu’s thigh. “Be careful. Don’t tell anyone about the money.”

Grandpa Chu rubbed his leg and replied, “I know, I know.”

Granny Chu threatened, “If you dare to go out and tell anyone that we make so much money, you arc dead!”

Grandpa Chu quickly promised, “I will definitely keep my mouth shut.”

Everyone smiled. Last time, after Grandpa Chu told Chu Qi about making ice at home, he regretted it for a long time.

Shen Ruyue handed Chu Qingzhi the proposal she had written for the workshop. “Qingzhi, I’ve come up with the proposal you asked me to make. I even drew a simple blueprint of the workshop. Take a look..”
