Divorced and Determined: The CEO's Ex-Wife Fights for Love-Chapter 214
Chapter 214
The first three customers, who were the “guinea pigs,” were holding ‘Red Bean Mugwort Ice Cream,’ ‘Mint Watermelon Ice Cream,’ and ‘Fragrant Rice Wine Ice Cream,’ looking nervous without even taking a bite yet.
But honestly, the appearance was quite impressive. The green, red, and milky-white colors looked more inviting than their average ice cream.
However, once they thought about the scene when Boss Lu was making it, the three of them hesitated. After all, there were ingredients like Fuling (Poria) and Jie Geng (Platycodon) involved. Would the taste be too abstract?
Other customers watching them, seeing that they hadn’t taken a bite yet, couldn’t wait any longer.
“Hey, are you going to eat or not?”
“Are you too scared to eat?”
“Trust Boss Lu, it’s definitely delicious!”
“You spent 15 bucks on it, don’t waste it!”
The three “guinea pigs” were forced into it, and reluctantly took a bite.
“Hm!”
“Mmm!”
“Mmmm!”
The taste was surprisingly good, no, it was great!
The three customers’ eyes lit up.
“Why are you just mumbling? Are you pooping or what? How does it taste?”
“Delicious!”
“Honestly, it’s really delicious!”
“It’s delicate and sweet, a taste that’s unique on the tongue!”
The three of them began to eat, savoring each bite.
One of them took several bites, licked their lips, and said, “I’ve had several bites, and it’s not at all greasy. The Red Bean Mugwort flavor is very unique, and the texture is much smoother than regular ice cream. This is amazing!”
“There’s no weird herbal taste?”
“None at all! This Mint Watermelon is incredibly good, the taste is fantastic. I’ve never had ice cream this delicious!”
“This Fragrant Rice Wine Ice Cream is also great. To be honest, it’s ten times better than Haagen-Dazs!”
After hearing the feedback, the customers got excited.
“I knew it! I knew that whatever Boss Lu made would be delicious!”
“Quick, quick! I want one Rice Wine and one Watermelon!”
“Is there a limit? I want all three!”
“I’ll have one Mint Watermelon, and you, honey, want Red Bean Mugwort? Great!”
In no time, Boss Lu’s Chinese-style ice cream was selling like crazy!
It was an unexpectedly hot afternoon with the temperature reaching 32°C, and just walking outdoors for a few minutes left everyone sweating. In such conditions, having an ice cream was incredibly refreshing!
The key was, Boss Lu’s ice cream was so special and delicious, completely different from any ice cream they had ever tasted before. As for the ice cream, Lu Qin had no limit on purchases. Customers could only buy a maximum of three or four at a time, as any more would melt.
In just about twenty minutes, the ice cream mixture was all used up. Lu Qin didn’t keep count, but with three flavors, they had definitely sold over 400.
“Huh? Boss Lu, the ice cream is already sold out? No way, no way!” 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
“Is this enough for anyone? Boss Lu, don’t you know how many food lovers come to Lu Ji’s stall?”
“Take apart the ice cream machine, I can still lick a few more bites!”
Lu Qin smiled and said, “Please wait a moment, I still have some ingredients, I’ll make more.”
He pulled out the remaining ingredients from behind him. Originally, he had bought enough for two days, but now it seemed like it wouldn’t even last for one.
Lu Qin began to prepare more ice cream mixture and refilled the ice cream machine. The customers started shouting. Lu Qin had originally thought that without a purchase limit, customers wouldn’t buy too much. Firstly, the ice cream would melt, and secondly, no matter how tasty, eating more than two or three would upset their stomachs. But he had underestimated the customers’ appetite for delicious food.
Diarrhea? That’s nothing, just take some medicine later, right?
As long as the mouth and tongue are satisfied, who cares about the stomach troubles? Maybe they’d die tomorrow, and there’d be no one left to regret it.
When good food comes, eat as much as you can!
“Boss Lu, I want two Red Bean Mugwort ones, I love this flavor!”
“I’ll have one of each of the three flavors!”
Lu Qin looked at the customer in front of him as he made the ice cream.
He wasn’t face-blind and said, “Hey, didn’t you already buy three ice creams?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, this is my first time buying! Watch out, I’ll sue you for slander!”
The customer was a bit surprised, then immediately denied it. This customer was a regular, and lying had become second nature. Lu Qin squinted and noticed the ice cream stains at the corner of the customer’s mouth.
He kindly reminded him, “You really shouldn’t eat too much ice cream, it’s not good for your stomach.”
He often used this advice for his daughter, Lu Xiyao.
The customer didn’t appreciate it and snapped, “I’ll eat as much as I want! It’s not like you’re giving it to me for free! Stop nagging!”
The customer grabbed three ice creams and quickly scanned the code to pay, afraid that Lu Qin might put some kind of annoying limit on their purchases.
“Boss Lu, just mind your own business. The issue you should worry about is whether the ice cream will be enough. If it’s not, quickly send that little girl to buy more ingredients!”
Another customer pointed to Xiao Mi. Lu Qin felt that this customer looked familiar.
“You’ve bought more than once, haven’t you?”
“Show me the evidence! I just rushed here from the An’nan district. The engine of my car is still hot!”
He then scanned the code and took two Fragrant Rice Wine Ice Creams. This customer must also be a “habitual offender.” Lu Qin didn’t care anymore. Sometimes, good advice was useless for those determined to overindulge.
Soon after, more customers started buying again, and more of them kept coming. There were even several customers who were so familiar with Lu Qin that they didn’t need to be reminded.
“I’m telling you, you’ve already had eight! Are you sure you want two more Mint Watermelon ones? Aren’t you afraid of getting stomach problems?”
“Nonsense! I’ve only had seven! Don’t worry, I’m healthy. I’ll be fine as long as I don’t eat more than ten!”
Lu Qin was speechless.
An hour later, the male restroom at the food festival was packed. The small shop selling water and drinks had run out of napkins, and the owner was confused!
The most absurd thing was when a customer emerged from the restroom looking pale, but after a moment, he felt fine and went back to queue for more ice cream. Lu Qin looked at him in disbelief. The guy was still holding toilet paper in his hand.
“Should I sprinkle some anti-diarrhea powder on your ice cream?” Lu Qin joked.
