Chapter 74: No More Stalls in Town
by 盐味荔枝Chapter 74: No Longer Setting Up the Stall in Town
Jiang Yingxue smiled and said, "Thank you, but I can put everything away myself."
In less than five minutes, Jiang Yingxue had cleared off all the food from the stall.
She walked behind the stall, pulled up a stool, and sat down, saying, "Ask whatever you'd like."
After introducing themselves, Yu Yuande said, "Ms. Jiang, frankly, we came for the delicious food at your stall. The report on the food you sent to our institution through the Taoxi Police Station last week has come back. You must have gotten it and seen it by now. The food contains trace elements that are good for people and is highly nutritious. If your food could be promoted in J City or even nationwide, people's physical fitness would see a major boost!"
Jiang Yingxue smiled and replied, "Teacher Yu, promoting it nationwide is too big a job for me."
Although she hadn't seen the food inspection report with her own eyes, it wasn't hard to imagine the results were positive.
Yu Yuande had a point. If the food from her stall were promoted to J City or nationwide, people's physical fitness would undoubtedly improve significantly. However, it wouldn't be easy. First, large-scale cultivation would be required. Then, you'd have to get people to believe it works, and the price would have to be lowered to make it within reach for regular folks.
The hardest part would be large-scale cultivation. Spiritual Plants are very picky about their growing environment. Without spiritual spring water and spiritual plant fertilizer, Spiritual Plants grown in ordinary soil would be much worse in both growth and efficacy.
In short, pulling this off would take a lot of time and effort.
Jiang Yingxue only wanted to look after herself and her grandparents' small family. As for the big picture, she didn't have such big dreams.
She wouldn't do it herself, but she also wouldn't stop others from trying. In fact, Spiritual Plants cultivated in ordinary soil would still provide sufficient high nutrition for ordinary people.
"Hehe, Ms. Jiang, you're being modest." They then chatted about other topics. Upon learning that the food and seasonings at the stall were all from Jiang Yingxue's own home, Yu Yuande proposed visiting her home to see these raw materials. They were really curious; they genuinely wanted to understand how these things were cultivated.
Jiang Yingxue wouldn't give away her secrets like her space. She sidestepped the question and instead said, "There's a mountain behind our village. We all call it the Back Mountain or Xiaohe Mountain. Once, while hiking, I found that the fish and shrimp from the mountain tasted quite good, so I brought them home to cultivate..." She attributed everything to the mountain behind the village.
Tao Penghai asked, surprised, "Are the fish and shrimp in the rice balls from there?"
Jiang Yingxue replied, "That's right."
Trying to stay calm, Yu Yuande asked, "What about the flowers at your stall?"
Jiang Yingxue smiled and said, "Yes, about ninety-nine percent of the food at my stall is related to Xiaohe Mountain. You'd be better off going to Xiaohe Mountain than visiting my home." So if you want the real deal, just head to Xiaohe Mountain.
To explain where her stall's food came from, Jiang Yingxue had long ago scattered many seeds of Spiritual Flowers and spiritual herbs on Xiaohe Mountain. After sowing the seeds, she cast a spiritual rain spell over the area and applied spiritual plant fertilizer once to ensure these sown Spiritual Plants could germinate properly. After that, she left the Spiritual Plants on Xiaohe Mountain to their own devices.
If Yu Yuande and his apprentice went to search on Xiaohe Mountain, they would definitely find some as long as they were diligent.
After seeing off the excited master and apprentice, Jiang Yingxue put away the Warm Crystal Round Table and the sun umbrella.
She gently rocked the hammock and said softly, "Xiao Zhao, wake up. It's time to go home."
Xiao Zhao was sleeping soundly. Jiang Yingxue's soft voice didn't rouse him. He just turned over and continued snoring.
Jiang Yingxue smiled. With a thought, she stored Xiao Zhao along with the small hammock into the wooden house within her space. She decided to let Xiao Zhao continue sleeping there; babies need their sleep.
Jiang Yingxue took her tricycle back from J City to Nanhe Village. When she got to Taoxi Town, she remembered she still needed to pick up a food inspection report, so she turned around and headed to the Taoxi Town Police Station.
After obtaining the food inspection report at the police station, Jiang Yingxue went to a copy shop to make four copies. Then, she went to a stationery store to buy some tape.
She posted copies of the report on the wall at the entrance of the middle school and on the trunk of the big tree next to her former stall location. At this point, she had one original report and two photocopies left. She took the two photocopies back to the police station.
"Police Officer, could you please help me pass these two reports to the two families who made a scene at my stall last time? This report should clear things up for them. Their children's discomfort had nothing to do with the food from my stall. The food from my stall is innocent. Thank you for your trouble."
This police officer was newly transferred and had only been there for a couple of days, so she didn't know about the incident involving the Xuehe Rice Ball stall at the middle school entrance the previous week.
Seeing the officer's confused expression, Jiang Yingxue said, "Then, could you please give these two reports to Officer Xiao Wu? He knows about it."
The officer replied, "Sure."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After returning home, Jiang Yingxue took a photo of the original report and posted it in the Food Group.
Caption: Dear friends who have eaten food from Xuehe Rice Ball, you can rest completely assured now. The inspection report for Xuehe Rice Ball's food is out. As shown in the picture, the results indicate that Xuehe Rice Ball's food contains no prohibited substances and is highly nutritious.
Just two seconds after Jiang Yingxue posted it, she received replies from customers and friends in the group.
After being flooded with "Congratulations!" and "Applause" emojis, the topic shifted to when the boss would set up her stall again.
When Jiang Yingxue stated that she wouldn't be setting up her stall in town for the coming period, the group immediately was filled with cries of despair.
Lin Wenjuan: I'm so miserable. I haven't had a rice ball from Xuehe Rice Ball for a week already, and now I won't get to have any this week either. I'm so pitiful...
Liang Qianru: Boss, have pity on us. Without Xuehe Rice Ball, we'll wither away. QAQ
Min Junru: Sister, my delicious food... I don't want my delicious food to leave me! Wuwu...
Chen Jinbin: Sister, I've lost weight these days you haven't been setting up your stall. The growth of us teenagers cannot be without Xuehe Rice Ball!
Xue Kaisheng: Boss, if you're not setting up in town, are you setting up elsewhere? Still within J City, right?
...
Jiang Yingxue: Yes, I've changed locations. Recently, I'll be setting up my stall on the street outside Yaori International High School in J City at noon. The stall's name has changed slightly, and the snack prices are a bit higher. Just buy what you can afford.
Followed by two pictures and a location pin: "Overall picture of the stall," "Price blackboard," "Location pin."
