The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and quite a few people are eating ice, especially since this ice melts quickly, so few people have their servants take it home. They all come to the restaurant to eat.
After Xiao Ding's introduction, Jiang Hu and the others realized that eating ice wasn't expensive at all: A bowl of ice shavings with dried fruit syrup costs only two copper coins.
Of course, that's relative. For those truly short of money, two copper coins aren't something everyone is willing to spend.
Especially since once you've eaten the ice shavings, it's gone. You're only cool for a short time, and after that, it's still just as hot, so the vast majority of people are reluctant to spend on it.
As for the popsicle that Dawa was eyeing, it costs one copper coin each and is made with a little sugar in cold boiled water, tasting sweet.
Hearing Xiao Ding's introduction, Jiang Hu was very surprised: "You can make this ice yourself?"
