"Yes, grandma. The owner of that stall is a young lady. The stall is very clean, so it must be hygienic. She also has a super expensive rice ball, which is made with her own secret recipe and costs 100 yuan, hehe." Afraid that grandma would think the stall was unhygienic, Chen Jinbin quickly said the good things about the stall.
"100 yuan is so expensive, how much did our meal cost today?" Grandma Chen exclaimed. She thought about the piece of food she had just eaten and thought it wouldn't be that expensive too.
At that time, Grandma Chen didn’t know that she would become a loyal fan of the “exclusive secret recipe” in the future.
She looked at her grandson deeply, and her eyes were hard to describe, as if she was looking at a fool.
Chen Jinbin quickly gestured, "10 yuan, 10 yuan. I won't buy the 100 yuan one. I'm not stupid, and I have money to spend. Wouldn't it be nice to buy a few exercise books?"
Grandma Chen nodded with satisfaction. Her grandson was smart. "10 yuan is not bad. Yes, do you have money to buy a workbook? If not, grandma will give it to you."
"Buy a few more books so you can get good grades in the final exam." Grandma Chen stuffed another 100 yuan into Chen Jinbin's hand.
Chen Jinbin happily accepted it and said, "Thank you, grandma."
As for whether to buy the exercise book, Chen Jinbin said the wind was too strong and he forgot what he said.
The next day.
During the break of the second class, Grade 2 (3) class.
The students gathered in groups of two or three to discuss study matters or interesting things around them.
Li Shanshan shared her Xuehe rice balls with her deskmate and the table behind her. "Did you know there's a new stall at the school gate? Their rice balls are so delicious, the best I've ever had! And their peach juice is amazing, too!"
Min Junru's eyes were filled with doubt. "Is that rice ball as good as the one I gave you last time?" She was from the city, from a wealthy family with plenty of pocket money. She would go back to the city on weekends, occasionally bringing some delicious food to share with her close friends and classmates.
Because she had a conflict with a classmate in the first grade of junior high school and accidentally broke the classmate's bones, the classmate was hospitalized. This had a bad influence, so her mother sent her to study at her grandmother's house.
Li Shanshan thought about it for a few seconds and said firmly, "It's even better than the one you gave me last time!"
"I don't believe it!" Min Junru thought Li Shanshan was talking nonsense. The rice balls she brought back last time were bought from Yixin Rice Balls. Yidian Rice Balls is a well-known rice ball shop, a national chain. How could a big brand of rice balls lose to a small stall at the school gate?
Li Shanshan's deskmate Liu Xiaofu said, "Junru, if you don't believe me, you can buy one and try it after school. You'll know how it tastes after you try it."
Li Shanshan also said: "Yeah, seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving, why don't we go to the school gate after school and buy one. Seriously, I'm not lying to you."
"Okay." Min Junru nodded proudly. She wanted to see if Xuehe rice balls really tasted that good.
In addition to Li Shanshan from Class 2 (3) of Junior High School, there are also Wang Huajing from Class 3 (10) of Junior High School, Deng Yongqing from Class 1 (7) of Junior High School, and many others who are willing to share.
At 11 o'clock, less than 3 minutes after the school bell rang, a large number of students appeared at the school gate on bicycles or on foot.
Some students went straight to Xuehe Rice Ball, including Li Shanshan and others.
Liu Xiaofu said, "Boss, I'd like an egg, ham, and seaweed rice ball and a glass of sweet spring water."
Li Shanshan said, "Sister, I want a pork chop and seaweed rice ball and a glass of sweet spring water." She had tried the ham and egg seaweed rice ball yesterday, so she'd try a different flavor today. As for the peach juice, she'd already had it yesterday, but with limited pocket money, she had to plan carefully, so she decided to save it for tomorrow.
Jiang Yingxue recognized Li Shanshan as the first student to buy her rice balls. She smiled gently at them and said, "Okay."
Min Junru opened her eyes wide as she looked at the small blackboard with prices, thinking that the stalls in the small town actually sold things so expensively. That shrimp thing was much more expensive than Yixin rice balls.
Is the taste worth the price? 100 yuan for rice balls and 50 yuan for freshly squeezed juice, today she wants to try the more expensive one.
"Boss, I want a shrimp and seaweed rice ball and a glass of freshly squeezed peach juice."
After saying that, she deliberately glanced at Jiang Yingxue with a hint of provocation in her eyes. If the taste did not meet her expectations, the owner would have to accept her thunderous complaints in person.
"Classmate, are you sure you ordered shrimp and seaweed rice balls and freshly squeezed peach juice?" Jiang Yingxue was a little surprised. After all, the person who ordered it was a junior high school student. You know, the target audience of this exclusive secret dish is middle-aged and elderly people and financially independent young people, so she confirmed it again.
Min Junru nodded proudly. She just wanted to buy the most expensive one.
"150 yuan, classmate, are you paying in cash or electronically?"
“Electronic payment.”
[150 yuan received in Alipay] A sweet and robotic female voice rang out from the phone.
The customer in front of her seemed a little dissatisfied with the price of the shrimp and seaweed rice balls, but she paid without hesitation. Jiang Yingxue ignored the customer's dissatisfied and proud expression. As long as she didn't say rude words to her or smash her stall, she would not get involved.
As for the high price, only those who have tried it know the value for money, and only those who have truly tasted it are qualified to judge its taste. If you haven't tried it, how can you know whether it tastes good or worth the price?
Li Shanshan pointed to the back of the stall and said, "Sister, I see there's a small open space behind your stall, right under the shade of the tree. You can put two tables there so that customers can sit and eat."
Jiang Yingxue looked in the direction she pointed. There was indeed room for two tables under the shade of the tree. She smiled at Li Shanshan and said, "Thank you for your suggestion, sister. I'll arrange it for you tomorrow."
Li Shanshan's eyebrows curved, "Okay!"
Soon, Jiang Yingxue packed up the food they ordered and gave it to them. Jiang Yingxue then greeted the students who were recommended by their classmates to come and explore the scene, while Li Shanshan and the others went to the shade of the trees to eat rice balls.
Li Shanshan took a bite of the pork chop rice ball, and the faint but refreshing aroma of spiritual plants made her squint her eyes happily. After taking a few bites, she took a sip of the sweet spring water. It was really good. If only this sweet spring water was peach juice, it would be even better.
She was concentrating on eating the rice balls and didn't say anything, and so were the other two. Min Junru, in particular, felt that her previous thoughts had been contradicted, but another part of her was extremely happy.
There are such delicious rice balls in the world! And this peach juice is so delicious!
Min Junru trotted over to Jiang Yingxue and changed her address to "Sister" from "Boss". She said excitedly, "Sister, I also want two servings of shrimp and seaweed rice balls and three cups of freshly squeezed peach juice." Except for the peach juice, the rest of her order was for her grandparents.
"Okay, wait a moment." Jiang Yingxue packed the pork chop and seaweed rice balls for the customer in front of her before she started to make and pack Min Junru's order. She also knew that her classmate Min Junru had been conquered by the taste of the spiritual food.
