Chapter 2085: Chapter 2082: Selling Popsicles
After that encounter, these people had no further contact upon descending, and they did not know each other. Generally, ten people would form a squad, led by a squad leader.
Simply put, it’s a pyramid-like constraint method, similar to the management method she saw in the Eighth Route Army in her previous life. This way, these people would not be completely exposed because one person was compromised.
Naturally, it is more suitable for spies to hide.
Ye Muyu doesn’t consider herself a very smart person, but she can use the experience of her predecessors as a model. In the end, it’s all about protecting herself and her family.
“How did you know there are our informants in this garden?” Ye Muyu asked.
Liuye, upon hearing this, understood the implied meaning behind her words and had no intention of concealing it: “Lady, rest assured, there are very few people I know, just a few. Coincidentally, one of them works with Zhu San, so I know him. As for anyone below, I am not aware.”
“Hmm, you just pass the message to Zhu San, saying to act by leveraging identity convenience, but always with maintaining concealment of identity as the primary concern. Let those originally working the small food stalls get the message and actively come to apply.”
“Let the restaurant provide sufficient ice cream daily. Those vendors willing to come to purchase and sell can do so.” Ye Muyu thought to herself that she couldn’t keep supporting these people endlessly; the more they became, the more gold and silver would be needed to provide.
Moreover, if she wanted to develop informants, she couldn’t be limited in number; naturally, the more, the better.
With these money-making methods, these people would have the ability to earn a living themselves, and besides when there are threats to the Chu family requiring notification, they should maintain normal daily lives. After all, these people are also free individuals; rather than forcing them, it’s better to collaborate, fundamentally winning their loyalty.
Seeing the sour plum soup reminded her of the ice cream business.
Although the cost was a bit high, the Chu family had its own ice cellar, and the restaurant had also built an ice cellar. Every winter, a certain amount of ice is stored to be used in summer, so selling ice cream for two or three copper coins is reasonable.
After all, the raw materials were just ice and fruit juice.
However, the fruits of this year were not very sweet, even those Ye Muyu planted on the Manor did not have a particularly sweet taste; some were even a bit sour.
But these fruits weren’t astringent, and she had also asked people to plant sugarcane, using sugar to create any fruit juice possible.
Liuye understood and grew somewhat excited, “Lady, I understand. I will return shortly and tell Sister Su Mei.”
Although Liuye knew Zhu San, she did not reach out to him.
Usually, it was Su Mei who would contact Zhu San.
This was to avoid trouble and unnecessary attention.
“So in the future, I can spend money to buy ice cream. It’s just been too hot these days.” Though it’s almost August, the weather still hasn’t cooled.
Instead, as the autumn tiger rises, it becomes increasingly muggy.
Ye Muyu thought that besides selling ice cream, sour plum soup could also be sold.
After instructing on this matter, she began eating. Alternating between dishes and sipping frozen sour plum soup, her appetite was indeed boosted, and soon she was full.
After freshening up and learning of Li Mingde and his son’s arrival, seeing that the hour was late, she called them in.
Li Mingde and his son had just had lunch, their stomachs full, but having done no work, they felt somewhat nervous.
