Chapter 49 Gold and silver mountains are not as good as Maruko Mountain



"Tiger...brother, how come you're all exactly one yuan short?"

Upon hearing this, Tiger suddenly raised his smooth forehead and looked at Qin Yi with great confusion.

"Sister, you really don't care about current events."

"Didn't you see the trending topics? Experts say that the most appropriate amount of pocket money for elementary school students is ten yuan per day."

"Ten yuan can satisfy most primary school students' social needs, psychological needs, and snack needs."

...The experts here are even managing elementary school students' pocket money, no wonder these colleagues like to sell it at 10 yuan.

"Mmm, the chocolate-flavored meatballs are so delicious they're making my head spin! And this milk foam is the first time I've ever had it, it smells so good!"

Tiger had a plastic bag hanging on his left arm containing a bowl of sweet rice balls in wine, and a box of chocolate cheese in his palm.

He held a string of white jade balls in his right hand and spun them around in the cheese, then quickly moved his mouth forward to catch the milk foam that was about to drip down.

Take another deep breath, and your mouth will be filled with the rich aroma of chocolate and cheese.

As the saying goes, it's not that one person is afraid of you being greedy, it's that a group of people are.

Tiger's henchmen all copied him exactly.

They ate as they walked, the contents of the box colorful and vibrant. Every now and then, a passing elementary school student would cast an envious glance, asking, "Hey, where did you buy this?"

Every time Tiger caught a glimpse of that envious look out of the corner of his eye, he would chew his meatballs even harder, his jaw muscles making loud smacking sounds. He would raise his shiny bald head, point behind him with his thumb, and say, "The meatball dessert shop with the lights on at the school gate."

These snacks not only satisfy our appetites, but also provide emotional value.

After the children finished eating the white jade dumplings, they wiped their mouths clean with their sleeves and went into the "Cherry Stationery Store" next to the school.

Even though I had no money, I still loved to shop around; that's how elementary school students are.

Cheng Yingtao is standing in front of the stationery store shelves, noting the order in which each variety is arranged.

My mother said she has already graduated from university, but she is taciturn and often makes silly mistakes.

Don't let her poison other people's lives; just hand over the family stationery store to her to manage.

Thinking back to the stupid thing I did a few days ago, I'm still so embarrassed. Luckily, that older sister helped me out and even treated her to lots of meatballs!

Unfortunately, when she went to buy a cake again yesterday, the lady was gone.

Those soft, sweet glutinous rice balls... just thinking about them makes my mouth water.

"How much is this notebook, boss?"

“3 yuan.” Cheng Yingtao looked at the little boy who had asked the question.

It was just because I glanced at him in the crowd.

I can never forget the little glutinous rice balls he carried.

The glutinous rice balls shimmered with a sparkling light.

It also has a faint aroma of rice wine.

"This! Where can I buy this sweet soup you're holding?" Cheng Yingtao excitedly pointed repeatedly at the plastic bag the boy was carrying with her index finger.

Tiger Brother was extremely pleased to have another fan who appreciated his taste. He pointed outside and said, "I bought it from that white stall with the flashing lights. It was 5 yuan a bowl."

Cheng Yingtao put the ledger on the cashier and said, "Mom! I'm going to get lunch and I'll be right back!"

Cherry ran there, the wind blowing her short hair behind her ears, turning her originally center-parted bangs into a half-parted style.

She rushed to the dessert stall, panting heavily.

Qin Yi was pouring cherry blossom milk foam onto a young customer's drink and sprinkling it with sweet Oreo powder when a shout made her look up.

"My God!" Cheng Yingtao couldn't believe her eyes!

Mountains of gold and silver are not as good as the dumpling mountain right in front of you.

There are matcha flavor, chocolate flavor, cherry blossom flavor, and also tiny and exquisite jelly-like glutinous rice balls!

Which flavor should I buy? I want to eat them all!

"Who are you?" Qin Yi looked at the short-haired girl with a middle parting that revealed her thick eyebrows. She felt like she had seen her somewhere before.

As my experience in setting up a stall increased and I gained more and more customers, my memory started to falter for a while.

Cheng Yingtao knew the advantages and disadvantages of her hairstyle, so she quickly tidied her bangs and smoothed the hair behind her ears to her face.

"Ah! It's you!"

She's the girl with the watermelon head who got caught by fans at Ark Film City for stealing the meatballs from a complimentary cake!

"Hehe, let's not talk about those shameful things, sister. I want to buy some meatballs, which flavor is the best, sister?"

Cheng Yingtao swallowed hard.

"The green milk foam is matcha flavored and made with high-quality matcha powder. It's not bitter and has a tea aroma. The chocolate milk foam is flavored with Valrhona pure cocoa coins. It's bittersweet, fragrant, and not greasy. I won't introduce the original soybean powder flavor since you've already tried it. The pink one is made with cherry blossom cheese, which has a light cherry blossom aroma. It's sprinkled with dry Oreo crumbs, so you can enjoy both the chewy texture of the dumplings and the crunchy cookie flavor."

"And this sweet rice wine jelly with glutinous rice balls..."

"Stop talking," Cheng Yingtao gestured with her palm in front of Qin Yi, "I want them all."

“I want them all,” she said, her expression clearly relaxed and happy. “I’ll eat them all right here.”

Qin Yi had witnessed the watermelon girl's love for meatballs, and after hearing this, she quickly handed her the plastic stool she was sitting on.

"You can sit here and eat. If you choke, I have water for you."

Cheng Yingtao had never seen so many flavors of meatballs before.

Each box of milk foam exudes the unique sweet aroma of animal cream and cheese.

The aroma is a light green tea fragrance; a rich, bitter chocolate scent; a cherry blossom-flavored sea salt cheese aroma; and the classic sesame aroma of soybean powder.

But the most amazing thing is still that bowl of original sweet rice wine jelly with small glutinous rice balls.

My sister's hand-made jelly has a natural chewy texture, making it not only smooth but also bouncy and elastic.

It won't immediately dissipate when held in the mouth; you need to use your tongue to hold it in place for it to disperse.

The original flavor of the glutinous rice balls has the simple, natural aroma of glutinous rice flour, and with a touch of sweet rice wine, the two foods from the same source taste perfectly compatible.

The most fitting adjective to describe this sweet soup is "perfect".

It's like fried chicken with cola, beef with cumin, tomatoes with eggs, and glutinous rice balls with sweet rice wine jelly, you know?

Primary school students only have a 2-hour lunch break. When the school bell rang, Qin Yi quickly packed up all her tools and prepared to leave Ziyi Primary School.

Cheng Yingtao reluctantly pulled the tricycle and asked, "Boss, when will you come next time?"

"See you at this time tomorrow."

A cream-colored tricycle drove into the underground parking garage of Lijing Apartment.

Qin Yi returned home and prepared all the ingredients she needed for her afternoon stall.

After a short half-hour rest, I drove my brown "Meatball Fried Food Shop" tricycle out onto the street again.

Every time her tricycle enters or exits the garage, the security guard has to manually press a button to raise the safety barrier.

"Thank you for your help." Qin Yi nodded to the security guard in the safety booth.

The security guard carefully examined her new tricycle and couldn't help but sigh, "Young lady, how come you're working two jobs a day? That's too much!"

Qin Yi sat in the driver's seat and waved her hand helplessly: "It's not easy to earn money from elementary school students!"
