Chapter 37: Selling Fish Balls Again
It was not even two o'clock in the afternoon when Qiao Xi urgently stopped the fishing order. How come so many small fish appeared outside the house after just a short rest?
Stop, stop, that’s enough small fish for today.
The last time he went to the free market, Josh bought a big pot specially. Today he can finally take it out and use it. One pot is better than three pots, and it can cook much more at one time.
Josh clapped his hands: "Come on, come on, line up and distribute the fish balls." Of course, the first pot of fish balls had to be distributed to the birds first. They were Josh's good helpers, so of course he had to satisfy them first.
The birds, big and small, lined up in a long queue and said in order the number of fish they provided. No one dared to report the wrong number. The big-tailed yak was watching on the side.
And if one of them makes a mistake, the other birds will be faster than it and correct it immediately. They are all staring at each other and can't be fooled at all.
After everyone gave the birds their small wages for today, Qiao Xi continued to work hard. The second pot of fish balls was not even ready yet.
I pinch, pinch, and I scoop, scoop.
Another day of struggling until dark.
For dinner, Josh ate some roasted yam and felt comfortable all over. It turned out that wild boars couldn't eat fine bran, so these were more to her taste.
I still got up early and rushed to the free market. This time I didn’t bring honey and magic fruit. I only sold fish balls and didn’t have time to go to the orchard.
The first thing Qiao Xi did when he arrived at the free market was to boil water in a pot and blanch the fish balls, letting their fresh aroma overflow and attract customers.
This really attracted several stall owners next door: "Little boss, you are finally here. I ate your fish balls last time and couldn't forget them. I thought you would never come again. Come on, give me a bowl."
Now that there are repeat customers, Qiao Xi is very happy: "There is something going on at the farm these days. If there is no special situation, I will come once every ten days. If you like, please come and take care of my business."
"Of course, I like the taste." The stall owner picked up the fish balls and put them into his mouth, not afraid of the heat at all.
"Hey, give me a bowl to try, it smells weird, fish balls, right? Made of fish?"
"Yes, it's 100% fish, nutritious, delicious and healthy."
"Oh, give me a bowl then."
The business got off to a good start early in the morning, and the smile on Josh's face never faded. As more and more people came to the street, Josh started cooking fish balls in another small pot.
"Hey, boss, what is this pot? Why is it cooked separately?" Someone noticed and asked curiously.
Just waiting for someone to ask, Qiao Xi cleared his throat and said, "I made this with attribute fish meat. It is rich in attribute energy and has extremely high nutritional value. It helps the elderly to strengthen their bodies and children to supplement their nutrition. Does anyone want to try it? The first bowl is half price."
Someone tried to ask: "How much is half price?"
"Fifty," Josh said with a harmless smile.
"A serving of ordinary fish balls is only ten yuan, this has increased five times," which shocked the people who were eating the balls nearby.
However, there is no shortage of rich people in the free market. After a while, someone curiously ordered a bowl of fish balls. He wanted to try what it tasted like.
As soon as you take a bite you can feel the abundant energy and the water attribute, which makes the fish balls smoother, more juicy and the soup more delicious.
The man's eyes lit up, and he said to Qiao Xi, "Ordinary fish balls are delicious enough, but I didn't expect that the attribute fish balls taste even better. They are indeed worth the price."
After saying that, he turned his attention to the table and lowered his head to show off the fish balls.
Many people who had eaten fish balls before and had no expectations for this kind of fish balls were also drooling over his performance.
Then one, two? Three
The special fish balls were so popular that they sold more than ordinary fish balls. People with good conditions and extra money came to try a bowl of special fish balls.
"Come on, come on, everyone, come over here to get your food. Don't squeeze in, don't cut in line."
However, not everyone is willing to buy the special fish balls. During the sales in the morning, more ordinary fish balls were sold. You can't lose out by spending ten federal points.
There are many wealthy people in exquisite clothes and warriors returning from a bloody battle coming and going on the street. Most of these people are people with special abilities and have a higher demand for food with special attributes.
Qiao Xi seized the opportunity and successfully attracted a group of young people with special abilities, who seemed to be students.
"Young boss, your fish balls are really delicious. I'm a water controller and I want to buy some more to take to the secret realm. Can you sell them separately?" asked a round-faced little girl.
Josh nodded, of course, "If they're sold individually, they're ten each. I can freeze them for you. How many do you need?"
"How much do you have left?" the round-faced girl asked back.
Qiao Xi opened the bucket of fish balls and showed it to her. He made a lot yesterday and there was still a full bucket of fish balls left by noon.
"Then you calculate it yourself. I want all of these. How many federal points are they?" The little girl curled her lips. It was just this little bit, not enough to last for a few days.
Hey, he met a big client. Qiao Xi was relieved and quickly counted the attribute fish balls in the bucket. He also gave her some ordinary ones to try. Suddenly, more than half of the pressure for the day was reduced.
The attribute fish balls are sold out, so only the ordinary fish balls are left, and there are not many. Qiao Xi is not in a hurry. He takes his time and there is no worry about selling them.
"Hey, will you come back to sell this fish ball next time?" The girl went away and came back to ask Josh.
"Yes, unless there is a special reason, I will come once every ten days." Qiao Xi thought to herself. With her keen business sense, she knew that a big order was coming.
He took the initiative to extend his wrist and asked the girl: "Hello, my name is Qiao Xi, can I add a contact number? If you need anything, you can send me a message on the communicator in advance."
Seeing that Josh was so understanding, the girl who was originally a little hesitant also added Josh's contact number generously.
"Hello, my name is Jenna. I have a one-week secret trial class every month. Every time I need a bucket of fish balls like this, I will leave you a message in advance. I need you to deliver it to the Azure Secret Realm space gate on time. I will wait for you there."
"Okay, Miss Jenna, as soon as your message comes, I will definitely prepare in advance and make the most delicious attribute fish balls for you, don't worry."
"Well, I'll be leaving first." Jenna said, then turned and left. These expedition reserve soldiers always have a kind of superior temperament.
Qiao Xi didn't care either, she only cared that she had one more customer.
Hey, wait! Josh wondered if he had forgotten something.
She opened the communicator that she hadn't checked for a long time - the Big Tail Yak Milk Group. She saw many messages in the history asking when Qiao Xi would go to sell yak milk again, but she hadn't seen any of them. Only a few people were still speaking up.
Ah! Josh scratched his head. Oh my God, could she really say that she had forgotten? !
