Luo Huai’an prepared 100 servings of shaved ice, and thought that it would not sell that well since it was the first time to be put on the shelves. However, she did not expect that it would be sold out very quickly. 

The reason was that the shaved ice was too good-looking.

Some students were hesitant at first, thinking it was a bit pricey, but after seeing the finished product, they were all convinced. And the taste of the shaved ice didn’t disappoint them either; it was truly amazing.

The shaved ice did not have any fishy water smell, but was sweet and refreshing as if it has absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

And the students could choose the type of shaved ice they wanted.

The silky soft shaved ice was the best-selling item, but the other varieties also sold well.

Some students liked the smoothie texture, which was extremely delicate and tasted like icy juice when mixed with diced fruits.

The slightly coarser shaved ice had a good, chewy texture. Sprinkled with thick sauces such as red bean paste or sesame paste, it tasted extremely rich.

Some people preferred the coarsest crushed ice because it was crunchier. The crunchy sound and texture allowed you to experience the ‘hard bones’ of ice, giving satisfaction with every bite.

The students had so many creative ideas. Some wanted tiramisu, some wanted coffee shaved ice, and some wanted blueberry shaved ice. They played with the ingredients on the table in many different ways.

Luo Huai’an was not impatient at all and calmly met any reasonable requests from students.

After all, they were willing to pay money for this.

… …

Luo Huai’an was knowledgeable and had never been surprised by the various requests from students—but Tan Mengmeng’s order surprised Luo Huai’an a little.

“The freshman orientation ceremony is about to begin, and after that our class will have its first meeting. As the class monitor, I want to give everyone a gift. It’s so hot now, can I buy some shaved ice in bulk here?”

Luo Huai’an was a little surprised. Wow, she scored big twice! After the mung bean soup, this was the second time Tan Mengmeng asked if they could group buy products.

Luo Huai’an gave her an approving look, feeling very happy. This student really had good taste. Others were still hesitating because of the price, but this student had already spotted the gem and decisively placed a group purchase order.

“Of course, will you pay yourself?”

Tan Mengmeng nodded. “Yes, I will pay for it myself. After all, I want to gift it to everyone.”

Tan Mengmeng’s family was not short of money, but she was not someone who would spend uselessly. In this instance, after a period of getting along during military training, she started liking this group of enthusiastic and cheerful classmates, so she came up with this benefit.

Luo Huai’an thought, Shaved ice is more expensive than mung bean soup, and she bought so much without blinking an eye. It seems she is a big spender.

Luo Huai’an’s brain was working rapidly on how to make this valued customer happy, and suddenly an idea came to her. She smiled and said, “Do you know what flavor of shaved ice your classmates like?”

This made Tan Mengmeng a little troubled. After thinking for a while, she said, “I don’t know their taste, but I think everything you prepare is delicious. I believe in your skills. Please feel free to do as you like.”

Luo Huai’an was waiting for her to say this. She cleared her throat and said, “I have an idea, do you want to hear it?”

After hearing her proposal, Tan Mengmeng’s eyes lit up in disbelief. “Can this kind of shaved ice really be made?”

“Of course.”

“That’s great!” Tan Mengmeng cheered, her smile adorable, and she was incredibly excited. “That shaved ice you mentioned is so cool.”

After Tan Mengmeng calmed down, Luo Huai’an said, “But this kind of shaved ice is not easy to make, so it costs more.”

“Don’t worry, money is not a problem.”

Luo Huai’an received a large deposit, and her smile became even brighter, but as for Big Fish, he was left in a very bad mood.

Many people had already bought their desired shaved ice, and because they were afraid it would melt, they simply sat in the cafeteria and ate it there. Everyone who had eaten the shaved ice had an expression of happiness and enjoyment on their faces.

Because his roommates strongly recommended the shaved ice from the Eighth Cafeteria, Chu Kai ended up not touching the shaved ice from the Yinbingshi but instead went straight to buy some crushed ice.

He was a very thoughtful person. The fruits he picked were all ‘berries’, including blueberries, strawberries, cranberries…

The crushed ice he chose was very chewy and made a slight, crunching sound with each bite.

Chu Kai bit into the ice while eating the fruit stuck in the ice cream. The flesh was tender and juicy, sweet and sour, and the rich fruity aroma filled his mouth.

From the first bite to the last, the taste was extremely rich and sweet, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.

Chu Kai felt the heat gradually dissipate from his body, and he couldn’t help but excitedly pat Xu Changle’s arm beside him. “I thought you were trying to trick me before, but I didn’t expect the shaved ice in the Eighth Cafeteria to be so amazing. The fruit is even better than the high-end fruits sold outside. The best part is the crushed ice. I don’t know how it’s made, but it’s so chewy and refreshing. Their ice machine is absolutely amazing.”

Big Fish, who was cleaning the table next to him: “…”

… …

So far, Big Fish has heard countless people praising the taste of the shaved ice, but this did not make him happy. Rather, he felt quite angry.

Of course it tastes good, this is the ice I made with all my skills!

There was no impurity in the ice, and it had gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It would be strange if it didn’t taste good.

However, he was exhausted after making a hundred servings of shaved ice.

Big Fish kept complaining in his heart, and at this moment, his black-hearted boss came to call him again.

“What? You want me to make this kind of shaved ice?” Big Fish was shocked and immediately shook his head. “No, I can’t do it.”

Luo Huai’an remembered the satisfied expression on his face after he finished eating the strawberry shaved ice last time, so she held up two fingers. “Two servings of strawberry shaved ice.”

Big Fish still shook his head. The most important part of the shaved ice was made by him. This reward given by Luo Huai’an was obviously taking advantage of others, and there was no sincerity at all.

Luo Huai’an frowned slightly and stretched out another finger. “Three servings of strawberry shaved ice.”

Big Fish snorted. Did this black-hearted boss actually think that three servings of shaved ice would make me surrender?

He wanted to continue the stalemate, but seeing Luo Huai’an’s face getting worse and worse, he began to tremble, and he could only give up while he was ahead. 

He cleared his throat and said seriously, “Four servings of strawberry shaved ice, and one serving of tiramisu shaved ice that that one customer ordered.”

Hey, I’ve seen the prices when she was making the ice. Tiramisu shaved ice is the most labor-intensive and the most expensive, so I naturally I want the best!

Luo Huai’an originally wanted to gently and considerately teach Big Fish a lesson about who was the boss and who was the prisoner. But then she thought, the shaved ice was selling well right now, and if she broke the ice machine, then she would have to work all night.

In order to make greater profits, Luo Huai’an nodded and agreed to Big Fish’ request.
