In less than five minutes, Jiang Yingxue packed the peach juice and rice balls he bought and handed them to him.
Watching the customer leave with her takeaway bag, Jiang Yingxue's eyes flickered with joy. She had finally sold a portion of her secret rice ball; this was a good start.
There are currently 2 pork chop and seaweed rice balls and 2 shrimp and seaweed rice balls left on the stall. Jiang Yingxue remains true to her original intention and still wants to wait until the remaining 2 pork chop and seaweed rice balls are sold out before going home.
But plans cannot keep up with changes. Lu Caiyun called Jiang Yingxue to come home for dinner, and if she couldn't leave, her grandfather would bring her food.
Jiang Yingxue didn't want to trouble her grandfather to make this trip, so she packed up her stall and went home.
Twenty minutes later, in the Jiang family dining room.
While the family was having dinner, they also asked her about her stall situation, and Jiang Yingxue told them the truth.
"There are still two pork chops left. Business was pretty good on the first day. I'll go to the vegetable market this afternoon and eat them directly." Lu Caiyun did not mention the remaining two shrimp and seaweed rice balls.
In her mind, the one she was able to sell today was also a stroke of luck. She never thought that Jiang Yingxue would sell expensive rice balls on the first day. She thought that everyone would have to wait until they had tasted the affordable ones and trusted Jiang Yingxue before buying the expensive rice balls.
Jiang Yingxue shook her head and said, "Grandma, you take the shrimp. I'll save the pork chops to sell tomorrow."
Lu Caiyun refused immediately, "How can that be? Food should be fresh. How can you sell overnight food to customers? If people find out, your stall's reputation will be ruined."
"It doesn't count as being kept overnight if it's placed in the warm crystal preservation box. The board on which the rice balls are placed is also made of warm crystal stone." Jiang Yingxue also told them the principle of the warm crystal insulation box. It is a strange stone that can retain time, taste and temperature. Within 7 days, it will be as fresh as if it had just been taken out of the pot.
Lu Caiyun said: "We are the only ones who know the efficacy of the warm crystal preservation box. If someone accidentally finds out that you have been selling the same rice balls for several days, it will have a bad impact. We can't directly expose the warm crystal preservation box, so you'd better eat it." She was afraid that exposing the warm crystal stone would reveal more secrets.
Jiang Xianzheng agreed with his wife's words, "It's better to eat it even if you are on guard." There are some people who are a little bored or have bad intentions who pay special attention to the appearance of rice balls, so it's better to solve it on the same day.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. But you guys should still eat your main meal. Xiao Zhao can save these rice balls." The Jiang family's three meals a day are much more nutritious than rice balls, so they can't afford to miss out on their main meal just because of rice balls. Xiao Zhao has a big appetite and usually eats a lot after dinner. Although rice balls are not as nutritious as main meals, they have a subtle spiritual energy, and Xiao Zhao likes them. The leftover rice balls that were previously intended for sale were already eaten by Xiao Zhao before they were even loaded onto the tricycle, which shows that he really likes the taste.

Chen family.
Chen Jinbin sat at the desk, drinking a sip of peach juice in between doing his homework, and felt happy while doing his homework.
"Jinbin, it's time for dinner." Chen's mother Li Qiuting's voice came from the dining room to Chen Jinbin's room.
"I'll be right there." Chen Jinbin drank the last sip of peach juice, put down his pen and went out.
Their family starts eating at 12:30 sharp. Father Chen doesn't come home for lunch, so only Chen Jinbin, Li Qiuting, Grandpa Chen, and Grandma Chen are at home for lunch.
Li Qiuting found that her son only ate one bowl of rice today, while he usually ate two bowls.
Li Qiuting asked, "Jinbin, why are you eating so little?"
Chen Jinbin said, "I had a rice ball today, Mom. It was delicious. I also bought one with egg and ham flavor. Wait a minute."
After saying that, Chen Jinbin went to the room with a "whoosh" and then went to the kitchen.
In less than three minutes, he brought out a dish with rice balls cut into four small pieces.
Grandma Chen said, "Jinbin, you didn't eat anything today because you ate this?" In Grandma Chen's eyes, not eating two bowls of rice is equivalent to not eating.
Chen Jinbin said, "I don't eat this filling, but I bought it from the same store. Grandpa, grandma, mom, please try it, it tastes delicious."
"Is it better than the rice dumplings made by your grandma?" Grandpa Chen couldn't help but dislike this rice ball. This rice ball was also made of rice and glutinous rice, similar to the rice dumpling, but it was more expensive than the rice dumpling.
Chen Jinbin knew that saying "Grandma's cooking is delicious" would make his grandparents happy, but he didn't like to lie, so he said, "It's even better than the rice dumplings Grandma makes! Go ahead and pick some up."
Li Qiuting said, "Okay, I'll try it." She picked up a rice ball and took a bite.
After a few seconds, she put down her chopsticks and said to Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen, "Dad, Mom, you guys try it too. It tastes okay."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and asked Chen Jinbin, "Jinbin, where did you buy this rice ball?"
"At the school gate. Xuehe Rice Ball."
After thinking for a moment, Li Qiuting finally spoke: "Although this rice ball tastes good, it's not a full meal after all, and I don't know if it's hygienic or not. You're in an important stage of growth now, and most snacks out there are unhygienic. Many of them contain a lot of messy things. Of course, we won't say anything if you want to try something new occasionally, but you still have to eat your fill at home, okay?"
"Jinbin, your mother is right. Things outside are not as clean as those at home." Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen agreed with their daughter-in-law.
"Got it, Mom. This rice ball is delicious, right? Her drinks are even better. I'll buy a few tomorrow for you to try."
"No need. If we want to eat, we can just buy it ourselves. You should eat well and study hard. Okay, if you don't want to eat, just drink some soup."
"Yeah." Chen Jinbin scooped half a bowl of soup and drank it obediently.
After dinner, Chen Jinbin went back to his room to rest. Grandma Chen came to his room and handed him a hundred yuan, saying, "My dear grandson, buy me two rice balls after school this afternoon."
As soon as Grandma Chen tasted it, she could tell the eggs were free-range. Free-range eggs are more tender and have a better taste and texture than regular eggs. The sausage was also delicious. Grandma Chen felt that eating only a small piece was not enough, and Grandpa Chen felt the same way. However, she felt that her daughter-in-law did not approve of her grandson eating out, so she secretly asked her grandson to buy rice balls.
Chen Jinbin smiled and said, "Grandma, they don't open the stall in the afternoon. They're only open during the lunch break when we get out of school. I'll buy it tomorrow at noon."
Grandma Chen asked in surprise, "Are you setting up a stall outside?" She thought it had a storefront, but she didn't expect it was a street stall.
It wasn't that she discriminated against the street vendors, but rather that they considered free range eggs a good thing. She wasn't sure whether to call the vendors foolish or kindhearted, considering they were willing to use them. In most households, free range eggs were reserved for their children, while adults and older children ate eggs from conventional feed.
