Chapter 93: Redeeming Spirit Flower Wine with Points

Chapter 93: Redeeming Points for Spirit Flower Wine

"Ding-ding-ding~ Classmates, class is over. Teachers, thank you for your hard work~"

The dismissal bell rang, and the street outside the school gate quickly filled with students leaving for the day.

Some students were stunned to see the long queue in front of Xuehe's stall. "Oh my gosh, what's going on? Why are there so many people today!"

"I know! It must be because the online video was cleared up, so they're here to see what the fuss is about."

"Let's hurry up too. It'll be awful if we're late and everything sells out."

Seeing Xuehe's stall occupied by a crowd of adults, the students felt both happy and worried. They were happy that the stall's delicious food was gaining wider recognition, but worried because its popularity meant longer queues with more outsiders, and worst of all, the fear that the food might sell out before they could get any after school.

Finally, it was Sun Chengxin's turn. He discovered that both the roast chicken and roast duck were already sold out, and his heart sank with disappointment. "My roast chicken... They went a bit overboard, didn't even leave half a chicken for us."

Some students behind him, upon learning that the rice balls and skewers were also sold out, simply left. Only those who liked the boxed meals or wanted to buy other candies and cookies remained in front of the stall.

Sun Chengxin said, "Boss, I think you need to make more rice balls and skewers next time. Otherwise, we won't have anything to eat after school."

Jiang Yingxue smiled and replied, "Alright, I'll make more tomorrow. What would you like to buy today?"

"I want 4 boxes of the nutritious boxed meals, and also..." Sun Chengxin originally wanted rice balls and juice, but found that like the rice balls and skewers, the juice was also completely sold out by the outsiders. "...and 4 cups of Immortal Brew Honey Water."

Jiang Yingxue took his blue membership card to settle the bill. "Your total comes to 8,800 yuan. Your remaining balance is 318,900 yuan."

Taking the packaged food, Sun Chengxin asked, "Boss, can I redeem points for gifts today?"

"Yes."

Upon learning his current points were 321, Sun Chengxin redeemed a set of Spirit Flower Wine and a Warm Crystal insulated cup.

That left him with 121 points, which he decided to save for later.

A set of Spirit Flower Wine contained 10 different flavors, all in trial-sized bottles. Each bottle had a capacity of 100ml. The ten flavors were: Spirit Thorn Flower Wine, Dream Butterfly Flower Wine, Shatang Flower Wine, Mist Water Flower Wine, Purple Frost Flower Wine, Night Moon Flower Wine, Rosy Feather Flower Wine, Buddha Lotus Flower Wine, Copper Peach Flower Wine, and Heavenly Star Flower Wine.

The bottle labels included the wine's name, benefits, and shelf life.

These Spirit Flower Wines were brewed using spiritual flowers from the courtyard. While the quality of these flowers wasn't as good as those from the space—making this wine only Grade B—they were still special.

Jiang Yingxue took out a small box of wine and a light red insulated cup from the large cabinet at the front of the van, packaged them together, and handed them to Sun Chengxin.

A happy smile spread across Sun Chengxin's face. Even though he didn't get rice balls or roast chicken today, he had redeemed the wine.

"Boss, does that insulated cup come in other colors? Is there a blue one?"

Jiang Yingxue replied, "No, they all come in light red." The Warm Crystal stone itself was red, so the insulated cups and lunch boxes made from it were naturally light red. Other colors were possible but unnecessary, so they simply weren't available.

Seeing that gifts could be redeemed, some students behind him asked their friends to hold their spots while they went to check their points at the machine on the right side of the stall. Most students decided to redeem if they had enough points, or wait until next time if they didn't. One student insisted on redeeming today, planning to buy enough to reach the required points first. Others wanted to save up more points to eventually redeem items worth over 100,000 points.

Xie Hongyi said, "Boss, I'd like 4 boxes of nutritious boxed meals, 1 set of Spirit Flower Cookies, and 2 cups of Immortal Brew Honey Water."

"Alright. Your total today is 8,400 yuan. Your membership card balance is now 9,900 yuan, with a total of 101 points." Aware of everyone's interest in redeeming gifts, Jiang Yingxue directly announced the points for students with membership cards.

Xie Hongyi said, "Boss, then I'll also redeem a set of Spirit Flower Wine."

"Okay."

For the past two days, Xie Hongyi had only bought food for himself from the stall, finishing it before he even got home. Today, he bought boxed meals for his parents and himself—three in total—with the extra box purchased to help accumulate points.

This set of Spirit Flower Wine was for his father. With a monthly allowance of only 30,000 yuan, and his card now down to 9,900 yuan, if his father liked the wine, there was hope for an increase in his allowance.

The next customer was Hu Qiwen. After buying food from Xuehe's stall yesterday, it received unanimous praise from her family. Especially her younger brother, Hu Ruichuan, who was in sixth grade, was particularly fond of the Shatang Flower cookies from the Spirit Flower Cookie set, devouring an entire box after dinner.

Hu Ruichuan even gave his pocket money to Hu Qiwen, asking her to buy several boxes of Shatang Flower cookies today.

Hu Qiwen agreed, of course, though she didn't actually take her brother's money.

She took out her orange membership card and said to Jiang Yingxue, "Boss, I'd like 4 boxes of nutritious boxed meals, 1 set of Spirit Flower Cookies, 2 boxes of Xia Yu Flower Candy, 4 cups of Honey Water, and also, separately, 4 more boxes of Shatang Flower cookies."

Jiang Yingxue said, "Okay, just a moment."

She quickly packaged the ordered items and then processed the payment. "Classmate, your total today is 14,300 yuan. Your membership card balance is now 372,400 yuan, with a total of 276 points."

Taking the large bag of food, Hu Qiwen thought about the students ahead who had redeemed points for gifts, several of whom got the wine. She said, "Boss, I'd also like to redeem a set of Spirit Flower Wine."

"Okay. 100 points deducted. You have 176 points remaining."

...

Today, before 12 o'clock, the stall had already hung up the "Closed" sign.

Seeing that there were basically no customers left in front of Xuehe's stall, Pan Juan and Mo Yongjun came over to return the original copy of the Guanhua Food Inspection Report to Jiang Yingxue.

Noticing that Jiang Yingxue didn't offer them drinks this time, Pan Juan's eyes flickered. She glanced around the stall and saw that the food on the table was gone. Not only were there no drinks, but even the packaging bags were almost used up.

"Ms. Jiang has quite the talent," Pan Juan said, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible sourness.

Although she knew the contents of the inspection report were true and the food was indeed nutritious, Jiang Yingxue's calm and unflappable demeanor in the face of crisis, coupled with Pan Juan's preconceived notion of the "overpriced stall," made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Jiang Yingxue wore the polite, customer-service smile on her face and didn't respond to Pan Juan's remark. Finding it pointless, Pan Juan didn't say anything more.
