“When we want to sell the popsicles at other places, we don’t have to carry a wooden box on our back. It’ll be easier to push a cart, and we can bring more popsicles with us. We don’t have to run back to the stall to get another wooden box to sell popsicles after a small wooden box is sold.”

Xue Sifu became excited again, he quickly said to Xue Yan, “Then you should discuss this with Jiang Yue. The workshop was your idea. I believe you can definitely draw the wooden cart that she’s talking about. It doesn’t sound very difficult.”

“I know, Sifu.” Xue Yan agreed. Even if he didn’t, he already knew what type of wooden cart she wanted based on what she had just said.

Jiang Yue continued, “We don’t have enough bamboo tubes and thin sticks to make a lot of popsicles, so you have to make more. Bamboo tubes are easy to make. You just need to find bamboo of the right thickness and saw them into bamboo tubes of the same length. We already have forty bamboo tubes at home, so we can make about a hundred more of them. It won’t take long. It’s just that it’s a little troublesome to make a thin stick. I think Yifu will have to make more thin sticks in the future in case there are not enough. It wouldn’t take too much time to make wooden carts. When Xue Yan draws it out, he can make one or two small wooden carts. It’ll probably be enough, so he won’t make more.”

“Alright. Sure.” Xue Yifu said hurriedly. He felt very happy being needed.

Xue Dafu was also very happy. “Yifu, you’ve made our family proud. You’re getting better at woodworking. More than one person has told me that they want you to help them, but because you’ve been busy helping us every day, I didn’t agree with it. In the future, if the family has nothing to do and doesn’t farm, we won’t starve to death. There’s someone with good woodworking skills in our family!”

It was rare for his father to praise him, so Xue Yifu became even happier. However, the honest and simple Xue Yifu was still a little embarrassed.

In the past, he had never thought that he would have such a day.

Xue Erfu and the others were very happy for Yifu. In the past, other than their family members, no one else had noticed Yifu’s capabilities. Yifu’s presence had always been very timid. Now, it was different. Others could see him for the capable man he was.

This might not mean much to them, but it meant a lot to Yifu.

Yifu was obviously much happier than before.

Even if Jiang Yue had not been in this house in the past, she could tell that Xue Yifu was getting more and more acknowledged as he became better at doing woodworking.

Xue Yan looked at his brother’s embarrassed and happy face, and he couldn’t help but smile.

Yifu finally had his own life now.

After talking for a while, Xue Sifu spoke up, “Then I won’t set up my stall tomorrow. I’ll go to town to buy more materials like quilts, wooden boxes, the oil paper used to wrap food, and ingredients that can be mixed with the shaved ice. I’ll also buy the ingredients for the sour plum juice. I’ll definitely sell iced sour plum. The day after tomorrow, our family will officially sell these. Yifu should be able to make enough ice bowls tomorrow. Six big basins and six small basins should be enough.”

Liu Guixia replied, “Why not just open your shop anyways? What if someone comes to your stall and sees that you aren’t there? Will that person come again next time?”
