Chapter 48 Buying You Ice Cream

Soon, it was noon and the sun was scorching.

Summer in the capital is already scorching. With tall buildings towering above, the heat waves refracting back and forth between the glass curtain walls, the entire city feels like a giant steamer, and the air becomes thick and sticky.

Steaming at high temperature
Huang Musong felt like he was about to lose half his life!

Doro was fine, having just taken a cold shower, and was immersed in the excitement of getting the ukulele.

Dorothy sat quietly in the shade and read.

A Calm Mind and a Cool Mind

This sentence is most suitable for Dorothy who is concentrating on reading.

Maybe Dorothy also thought the weather was too hot.
Maybe it uses reading to help it calm down and escape the heat?
Huang Musong was sweating all over. While guessing Dorothy's thoughts, he rolled up the hem of his T-shirt to expose his waist and abdomen.

Taking off all the shirt is called "Ban'erye" in old Beijing dialect.

In the past, rickshaw pullers would take off their shirts to pick up passengers and work when the weather was hot.

Modern society emphasizes the most basic civilization.
So Huang Musong didn't take off his shirt directly.

After 12 o'clock.
The temperature will get higher and higher!
I guess it will be close to 40 degrees in less than two hours?

Thinking blindly in my heart,
Huang Musong gradually began to think about closing the stall.

I came to the city today to sell rice dumplings. I made back my investment and the net profit is more than 300 yuan.

There are less than 500 zongzi left...

It’s a loss, so be it!

It was so hot that it was unbearable. Huang Musong put on his clothes again and prepared to take Duo Luo and Dorothy to find a place to cool down.

"Do you want to go with me to enjoy the air conditioning?"

Beckoning Dorothy in the shade,

At the same time, he spoke to Doro who was sitting next to him and fiddling with the ukulele.

When he heard that he could go out and enjoy the air conditioning, Duoluo stood up suddenly and jumped on the spot excitedly.

"Okay~"

Cool air conditioning,

The best way to beat the heat!

With a thought, Duoluo put away the instrument and the ukulele disappeared out of thin air.

The clear eyes bloom with the same expectation as always,
Duoluo always agrees to any suggestion from others without any reason.

Dorothy agreed to go, but the problem was what to do with the unsold rice dumplings? Pushing the heavy foam boxes all the way would be exhausting. And if they were left unattended, what if passersby stole them?

The little claw pointed at the foam box
Dorothy reminded Huang Musong with silent actions.

What it can think of,
Huang Musong had already thought about it several times.

So, record new content for the loudspeaker and play it in a loop.

"Welfare Zongzi! Sanitation workers, please feel free to take some. Limited to one per person. Happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone..."

"Welfare Zongzi! Don't miss them if you pass by. They're one yuan each. You can pay by scanning the QR code or paying with cash..."

After recording two pieces of content,
Duo Luo couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.

Although it is clumsy, it can at least calculate the most basic accounts: selling a zongzi for one dollar will definitely be a loss, right?

Loss of money!

do this...

Not so good?

Duoluo doesn't want anyone to suffer too much loss.

Today, I came to the city. Someone took me to a beautiful school, and because I couldn't sell the zongzi at a high price, I got a ukulele, but they made much less money. I feel really bad.

Lower your head and think secretly
Duo Luo wanted to say something but stopped himself, thinking about how to express it in a serious tone. He would rather stay where he was and continue to set up his stall for others.

Huang Musong observed the little guy's reaction with his peripheral vision.

You can tell what it is thinking at a glance!

Fiddling with the loudspeaker, Huang Musong smiled and took the initiative to comfort him, "Don't worry, we've already made back our investment from selling the dumplings today, with a net profit of over 300 yuan. To prevent them from going bad, sell them at a low price so that more people can have the opportunity to taste your cooking skills, right? Doro."

After hearing this,
Duo Luo smacked his lips.

Well……

That’s right!
Blinking his big eyes frequently, Duoluo was easily persuaded and felt that selling rice dumplings at a low price was very meaningful.

but,

Why do people have to set the price at one yuan, and why can sanitation workers take it at will?

Duoluo felt that the different treatment was somewhat unfair.

The little paw scratched the head,

Doro looked at the clever and intelligent Dorothy.

Dorothy stuffed the book into Huang Musong's backpack and, just then, noticed Duo Luo asking for advice, she briefly explained, "We're pricing it at one yuan because we're worried someone might ruin the zongzi. It's completely free, so if someone doesn't like it and just takes a bite and throws it away, wouldn't that be a shame?"

"Besides, there might be some poor little fellow like you when you were wandering around before, who can't even afford to buy Oh Runji as he pleases."

"Selling it cheaply gives the poor little ones a chance to eat their fill. It's considered a welfare benefit."

Dorothy actually wanted to explain the moral of "the porridge mixed with sand," but considering that Dorothy was too clumsy to understand,

Let’s put it simply and just say it’s welfare.

The word "welfare" really made Duo Luo even more excited, and he applauded to show that it was great.

Welfare is the best!
If one day, I can earn enough money to spend, I will definitely make sure that all the doros in the world no longer suffer from hunger, hardship, and cold...

Ah!
This Doro King will definitely do it~
The first long-term goal emerged in Xiao Duoluo's mind.

Long-term goals are almost like secrets.
He neither told Dorothy nor intended to tell anyone else.

At least in the short term, Doro wanted to keep this a secret from everyone and Dorothy.

……

Holding Doraemon in one hand and Dorothy in the other.

Huang Musong took them and walked on the streets under the scorching sun.

A few minutes after leaving the rice dumpling stall, he began to hear his cell phone ringing with payment announcements.

Most of them earn 1 yuan.
From time to time, I would earn a few or even dozens of dollars.

It seems
The one-yuan pricing is really the right thing to do!
This good thing allows more people to eat Zongzi.
During the hot Dragon Boat Festival, doing something beneficial can really make you feel refreshed.

Huang Musong had rarely experienced such ease and comfort...

Duoluo was also very happy.
The payment announcements one after another made it so happy that it walked on tiptoe.

But the heat was unbearable, the sun scorching like a furnace, the cicadas screaming desperately. Gradually, the activity became too much, and Duo Luo began to feel dizzy.

It's not heat stroke,

Fortunately, the cold drink shop is nearby.

It is not easy to find Mixue Bingcheng in the city center of the capital because the rent is too expensive and only slightly higher-end stores can afford it.

Huang Musong brought Duo Luo and Dorothy to a pink-themed ice cream shop.

enter the store
Didn't mind the price at all.
Huang Musong paid directly for three large sundaes.

One strawberry flavor; one original flavor; one chocolate flavor.

The total consumption is 94 yuan!
He handed the strawberry sundae, which looked the most delicious, to Dora.

Of course, it’s not that he prefers Dorothy. Dorothy specifically asked for the chocolate flavor, and Huang Musong thought the strawberry flavor would be better than the original.

"This is ice cream, try it."

Huang Musong handed the ice cup to Duo Luo and added, "Compare it with the ice cream cone I had at KFC the day before yesterday. Which one is better?"

Duo Luo raised his two little paws at the same time to catch the ice cup.

He just stuck out his tongue and took a small lick.

Cool...

Sweet...

Duo Luo: "Wow~ This is as delicious as Oh Runji."

The impeccable taste made it look particularly surprised.

After all, it is a high-end cold drink shop.

The strawberry sundae at 32 yuan must be worth the high price!

Zero additives, pure natural ice milkshake, incomparable to KFC's ice cream cone.

The more Doro ate, the more he wanted to eat. His pink tongue licked the ice cream continuously, and his extremely focused look was so adorable. In a short while, he had eaten all the spiral ice cream tips on the top layer and started to lick the milkshake deep in the ice cup.

Compared to Doro's silly way of eating,
Dorothy seemed very quiet.

He ate it with a small spoon, savoring every bite of chocolate sauce. The wonderful taste made him shiver with joy.

Huang Musong only took a few bites of the original ice cream...

Some things, once tasted, are enough.

He planned to give his cup of ice cream to Duoluo.

While enjoying the meal, Duoluo suddenly realized that people didn't seem to like original ice cream.

It thought about it for a moment
Then he used his little paws to scrape up a ball of strawberry ice cream and held it high up.
Duo Luo fed the ice cream to Huang Musong.

"People~"

"Give me some pink flavor."

As he spoke, light streamed in through the glass windows. In the sunlight, Dora's pink hair complemented the color of the strawberry ice cream, and the movement of her ahoge hair was adorable.

Even though I didn't eat much ice cream,
At this moment, Huang Musong no longer felt hot.

After eating the ice cream that Doro handed him, he handed over the plain ice cream and said a white lie: "You and Dorothy should split this. I don't like this kind of sundae. I'll find a supermarket later and buy my favorite."

Finished speaking
Huang Musong tore open the packaging of the wooden spoon,

He tried to teach Dora to eat ice cream with a spoon.

Doro can use a spoon, but he thinks he can enjoy the food better by licking it with his tongue, so he doesn't pay attention to his image.

Since I'm going to share a cup of ice cream with Dorothy,
It obediently held the wooden spoon and made a soft "hmm" sound.
