After assembling the rice balls, it was almost dark.
Because these rice balls were not ready until tomorrow, if they were left at home, they would go bad. If they were kept in the refrigerator, the taste and temperature would also be affected. Although the taste was not much different in the refrigerator, Jiang Yingxue could not accept that they had to be heated up again after being taken out of the refrigerator before being eaten.
She has a better option: her homemade food storage container.
The Warm Crystal Fresh-keeping Box is a light red square box with rounded corners to protect your hands. Made from a thin yet sturdy crystal called Warm Crystal, it keeps food fresh for seven days and a month. When food is placed inside, it's as if time has stopped. For seven days, the food will remain exactly the same as it was when you put it in.
All the major sects and families in the world of cultivating immortals will give a fresh-keeping lunch box made of warm crystal stone to their new disciples and clansmen, so that they can use it to go to the cafeteria to eat before they start fasting.
The lunch box Jiang Yingxue made is larger than an ordinary lunch box and can hold 50 rice balls. She not only made a lunch box for rice balls with warm crystals, but also made a lunch box for one person and a plate for placing rice balls.
After taking out three rice balls and cutting them into 2-centimeter-thick pieces, she put the remaining rice balls into a warm crystal storage box. The cut rice balls were a pre-dinner snack for the family to try.
The stall only had rice balls, which was too bland. Besides, she'd be thirsty after eating all the rice balls, so she decided to add a drink. The peach tree in the backyard was also bearing fruit. While peaches looked similar to honey peaches, they were a low-level spiritual fruit, more flavorful and nutritious than honey peaches.
Jiang Yingxue picked two full baskets of peaches. After washing them, she placed one basket of peaches next to Nuan Jing's fresh-keeping box and took the other basket back to her room.
She spread the peaches on a stainless steel plate and set up restrictions around them.
Then, she waved to Xiao Zhao and said, "Xiao Zhao, come in."
Xiao Zhao flew in briskly, looking at Jiang Yingxue with her round eyes, as if saying: Sister, what do you need me to do?
Jiang Yingxue said gently, "Xiao Zhao, try drying them out."
"Alright!" Xiao Zhao flew over the peach and transformed into the Bifang bird, emitting scorching flames. In less than a minute, the peach was reduced to a dry peach.
"Great!" Jiang Yingxue gave Xiao Zhao a piece of dried peach as a snack. She ground the rest of the dried peaches into powder so that she could use it to make peach juice tomorrow.
At this time, grandma's voice came, "Yingxue, wash your hands and eat~"
"Here I come, here I come~" Jiang Yingxue carried Xiao Zhao to the dining room.
After Xiao Zhao's efforts over this period of time, her grandparents also knew and accepted this bird cub that liked to eat human food, and Xiao Zhao also had his own exclusive seat and bowl at the dinner table.
Jiang Xianzheng picked up some fried shrimp from the table and put it into his mouth. After chewing it, a look of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face. Then he picked up a shrimp and seaweed rice ball, tasted it, and said, "The shrimp tastes very good. Yingxue, how much do you want for this rice ball?"
Jiang Yingxue said, "100 yuan each."
Lu Caiyun was surprised by the price. She shook her head. "The shrimp tastes good, of course, but this town isn't the city. Have you ever considered setting the price too high? They won't sell."
Jiang Yingxue didn't think the price was high. "I raised the shrimp with spiritual spring water, and used spiritual plant seasonings in the cooking process. I put five shrimp in one rice ball. This rice ball is not only fragrant but also healthy. Its health-promoting effect is no less than that of century-old ginseng. Grandma, I have two other affordable rice balls: egg and ham rice balls for 10 yuan and pork chop and seaweed rice balls for 20 yuan. If they think it's expensive, they can buy the cheaper ones."
Jiang Xianzheng looked at his wife and said, "Ayun, Yingxue's price isn't expensive. We can't sell it at a low price just because we're selling it in town. In my opinion, the price of these shrimps is even lower." Any food that has something to do with spiritual spring water is good food. During this time, Jiang Xianzheng also clearly understood the benefits of spiritual spring water and other spiritual plants. "Those customers really got a good deal."
After hearing what her granddaughter and husband said, Lu Caiyun suddenly felt that the price was reasonable and worth the money. "It's not too low, 100 is just right, just don't make so many."
Jiang Yingxue nodded as if she had learned something, and said, "Grandpa and grandma are right. The cost of living in a small town can't be compared to that in the city. That's why I only made five servings of these shrimp and seaweed rice balls. If we can't sell them, we'll eat them ourselves."
Jiang Xianzheng said with a smile: "We can each eat one, and there will be two left for Xiao Zhao."
Xiao Zhao, who was named, was eating happily with his head buried in his rice plate. He looked up with a confused look in his eyes.
Lu Caiyun also felt pleased, with a smile on her face, "Xiao Zhao needs to eat more so he can grow. Speaking of which, I've been raising Xiao Zhao for a while now, why isn't he growing?"
Xiao Zhao still looked the same as when Jiang Yingxue first brought it in front of them. Its fur was light yellow and fluffy, and it was still small and had not grown much.
Jiang Yingxue thought for a moment and said, "Birds, like humans, have children that grow slowly. Xiao Zhao is one of those slow-growing children. It's growing a little slower, but it will grow in the future." Xiao Zhao is a divine bird, and its true form is quite large. However, the overall spiritual energy of Blue Mercury doesn't support Xiao Zhao's normal, rapid growth. If they ever return to the immortal world, with the spiritual energy and nutritional supply, Xiao Zhao will grow up.
Today the fruit after dinner was peaches. They didn’t squeeze the juice but ate them directly.
Qiong peaches are sweet, and even Jiang Xianzheng, who usually doesn't like sweet fruits, ate two.
He exclaimed, “That’s a really good book!”
After dinner, Lu Caiyun gave Jiang Yingxue a courier box. Inside the box was a camera that Jiang Yingxue had bought. She installed the camera on the tricycle to protect herself.
The next day, at 10 a.m., Jiang Yingxue rode her tricycle to set up her stall.
Taoxi Middle School finishes school at 11 a.m., so it’s just right to go there and set up the stall after 10 a.m.
When they arrived near the entrance of Taoxi Middle School, they found that the better stalls were all owned by others. The owners of these small stalls had already set up their food because they had arrived early. Jiang Yingxue finally found a place to stop in this snack street.
The food street at the school gate sells roasted sweet potatoes, oden, malatang, fried shrimp cakes, pumpkin cakes... sushi, etc. Jiang Yingxue was the first to sell rice balls. She decided to sell rice balls because she was the first to do so and there was no dispute.
She's not exaggerating; anyone who's tried her rice balls would choose them over any other place. But there's a practical problem: her rice balls have a limited selection of flavors, so if someone gets tired of them and wants a change, they might.
