"Fairy, what are you standing there for? Serve me the food!" Wen Ji sat down at the table casually, his bright eyes staring at Weiwei until she blushed.
"Alright, here we come! Today is our first day of business, and we've even made some thirst-quenching water and soup. You can have whatever you want!" Xue Shan reacted faster than Weiwei, quickly preparing the dishes according to Wenji's request and signaling Weiwei to pass them over.
"Delicious!" After taking a bite of the braised pork, his eyes lit up. He had a special charm when he ate, making the onlookers drool.
Weiwei blushed, feeling a little embarrassed that she had been a bit slow-witted and awkward just now.
Wen Ji was particularly well-built and had a hearty appetite. He even beckoned to several children nearby who were eagerly watching him to come and eat with him.
The child was shy and hid behind the adult, tugging at the adult's clothes.
A middle-aged woman, unable to resist her child's pleading gaze, saw that Zhu Yixin's freshly fried chicken looked good and bought a pair of wings for her two children, along with three low-grade spirit stones.
Weiwei was beaming with joy as she held the spirit stones she had just acquired. Her pure, satisfied, and curious gaze caught Wenji's attention.
Xue Shan was serving the fried chicken with condiments from the back of the kitchen, and she was a little excited to see the people gathering around her.
"It's so delicious, but it's a little hot!" The child gnawed on a chicken wing and boasted to the other children who didn't have any.
Actually, it's not hot, it's spicy. The children in the cultivation world have never eaten this before, so they find it very strange.
When Zhu Yi went down the mountain last time, she paid special attention to the food of ordinary residents in the cultivation world.
Boiled vegetables with salt, or stir-fried with a little oil in wealthier households, perhaps influenced by those who cultivate immortality with a pure and simple mind, their food is mostly unprocessed.
This time, Zhu Yi's stall featured dishes that were oily, spicy, and salty, which was a challenge but also an opportunity, as they were completely different from what people usually liked.
The child being shown off looked disdainful and turned to the adults in his family, yelling that he wanted some too, "Uncle, I want some too!"
"Good nephew, let's buy more and eat together!" The young man, acting like a child leading a little kid to explore a new world, generously bought all the fried chicken, even the ones missing a pair of wings. The uncle and nephew sat together at the table behind Wenji to eat. Perhaps because they enjoyed the food, the young man packed a few more dishes to take home.
Xue Shan packed the ingredients into a few simple bamboo tubes and then cooked a pot of sour plum soup for the children to cleanse their palates. The sweet and sour drink was delicious, filling the summer morning with joy.
"This is chili pepper. It's a good stuff that the sect elders brought back from a secret realm. It makes a great sauce that goes well with rice." Weiwei became interested and began to boldly introduce the dishes on the stall to those around her.
As Weiwei spoke, Wenji calmly put down his chopsticks, picked up a clean handkerchief, and listened quietly, displaying impeccable gentlemanly manners.
Lin Hengjin felt that Wen Ji was acting a little strange today.
Why have you become so much more refined when eating?
He seemed to be glancing at Weiwei intentionally or unintentionally?
"Hehe!" Wen Ji was a little embarrassed, but he politely took a bite of the chili sauce. "It's hot, but delicious. Buying some is definitely worth it!"
"Fairy, give me a bamboo tube. My mother hasn't had much of an appetite lately. I want to buy it for her to try!"
"Me too! This plum juice is great. Fairy, please give me an extra bamboo tube so I can buy it and eat it with this golden chicken!"
Golden chicken? Zhu Yi turned around and saw a kind-looking young man tilting his head to look into the pot!
"This is a good name. Let's call this dish Golden Chicken from now on!"
"Does the fairy still make golden chicken? We're too late!" Two young girls who went to the market early in the morning asked Weiwei quietly. Weiwei regretfully told them that she only prepared two chickens today.
“We can add a jade pendant. In the future, we can tell you in advance what you want to eat, and I will reserve it for you.”
"Fairy, I'll add some too! These vegetarian dishes are also good; I'll take some next time they're sold out!"
"This chili is so delicious!" the diner exclaimed, licking his lips. Weiwei kept urging him not to eat too much, otherwise his stomach wouldn't be able to handle it...
In less than an hour, a pot of spicy shredded pork was gone. Fish-fragrant shredded pork is actually just eggplant and bamboo shoots stir-fried together. Zhu Yi's sauce was very fragrant, and the diners had a strong aftertaste. They ate it all and took some home. The bamboo tubes that Zhu Yi had the little squirrels prepare were not enough. Later diners simply brought their own bowls and plates from home to pack the leftovers...
Seeing that Weiwei was busy collecting spirit stones and adding jade spirits, I noticed that she was quite busy.
Lin Hengjin simply took the jade pendant, stood to the side with an elegant air, chatting and laughing, attracting many young girls who came to the market to stroll around.
Weiwei counted the spirit stones with delight, Xue Shan was busy serving food, while Zhu Yi calmly planned what new dishes to serve next.
A crowd gathered around the small stall, and the children especially loved Zhu Yi's sweet and sour pork.
Zhu Yi also cleverly added some delicious fruits to it, such as apples, melons, and pineapples, which are rare in the cultivation world...
Another hour later.
"Oh! That's it?" The others who rushed over after hearing the news looked disappointed.
Zhu Yi shook her head: "Really, we're out. We sold out of all the vegetables we had this time!"
At the table and chairs, a few children were still reluctantly eating sweet and sour pork.
"Hiccup!" The child looked around, thankfully no one had noticed them...
Zhu Yi caught this scene. She smiled and called out to the crowd that had arrived, "Fellow villagers, don't worry. This is our first time setting up a stall. We didn't expect business to be so good. All the dishes we prepared for today are sold out. For those of you who haven't gotten anything yet, please be patient. We'll be back on time tomorrow morning!"
"Everyone got one! See you tomorrow morning!"
"Okay! I'll come again tomorrow morning! Remember to prepare plenty of golden chicken, my nephew and I haven't had enough yet!"
The little boy had already drifted off to sleep, and the young uncle, carrying the boy on his back, smiled radiantly.
Zhu Yi nodded in agreement, and the group of girls began to pack up their stall.
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Wenji, a kind-hearted man, stayed behind to tidy up the tables and chairs, keeping a respectful distance from Weiwei.
Lin Hengjin chuckled: Finally found the reason for this guy's abnormal behavior! Glancing at Weiwei, Lin Hengjin nodded in confirmation, "Sure enough, the old iron tree is about to bloom!"
Looking at the empty portable kitchenette, Xue Shan chuckled, "Junior Sister! You're amazing! I've been so busy serving food all morning that I haven't even had a moment to rest!"
"That's how it is at the morning and evening markets. It gets busier when the crowds gather. We sold out today, which is a good omen!" Zhu Yi looked up at the clear blue sky and felt particularly cheerful.
