Acai's Sky

Chapter 544 Eating glutinous rice balls

A Cai hid in the back kitchen of the big kitchen.

Tong Ajiu walked into the kitchen with a smile on her face, put on an apron, and prepared to cook a bowl of Yuanxiao for her personally.

After a while, sweet fragrance wafted from the kitchen.

"Come and try it! There are all kinds of flavors here. This is the first time I've tried making Yuanxiao and glutinous rice balls in my life!"

Tong Ajiu placed a bowl of steaming Yuanxiao on the table and said to Acai.

Ah Cai picked up the bowl with great joy, picked up a round dumpling with a spoon, and blew on it gently, bringing it close to her mouth.

Then, she carefully took a small bite, and saw the shiny black sesame filling inside flow out instantly, with a fragrant smell that made her mouth water.

After savoring it carefully, Ah Cai couldn't help but praise: "Wow, it's really sweet and delicious!"

"What kind of fillings are in so many dumplings?" A Cai asked curiously.

At this time, Aliang, who was standing nearby, came forward quickly, pointed at the colorful dumplings, and began to introduce them enthusiastically:

"Hey, don't be fooled by their different colors, they are actually the same in essence!

There are classic lard and sesame fillings, fragrant peanut fillings, delicate and dense red bean paste fillings, as well as strawberry fillings, blueberry fillings, durian fillings, yellow peach fillings, rich and mellow chocolate fillings, and milky custard fillings, etc...."

Listening to Aliang's endless introduction, Acai shook her head and said that she only wanted to taste traditional flavors. Black sesame filling, red bean paste filling and peanut filling were enough to satisfy her taste buds.

So, Tong Ajiu considerately helped her change the dumplings in the bowl into several of her favorite fillings.

"There will be fried Yuanxiao later. Do you want to try it?" Tong Ajiu asked Acai with a smile.

Ah Cai nodded hurriedly and replied, "Yeah, yeah, just give me a few. After all, this stuff is not easy to digest."

"That's right. If the elderly and children in the village feel uncomfortable after eating the glutinous rice balls, you can ask them to take a few large hawthorn balls I prepared. They will help with digestion!"

As he spoke, Acai took out several boxes of beautifully packaged large hawthorn balls from the system backpack and handed them to Tong Jiajiu.

Ah Liang was stunned for a moment while holding the bowl. "I've never heard of eating glutinous rice balls with hawthorn meatballs."

Everyone laughed.

"We should eat fewer glutinous rice balls even during the festival. We shouldn't eat too much of it as it's hard to digest. Just in case." Ah Cai said as she ate.

Tong Jiajiu handed over two space buttons, "One is filled with cooked glutinous rice balls with your favorite fillings, packed in a small lunch box."

"The other is freshly frozen raw glutinous rice balls, all made by [Wan Neng Processing Workshop] and packaged for easy gift giving."

Acai took it and put it into her system backpack.

"Please make me some more dumplings. I gave all my dumplings to the beasts. I need to prepare some more."

Tong Jiajiu nodded and walked towards the warehouse processing workshop.

After a while, he gave Ah Cai a space button and said, "There are raw dumplings in here. I'll cook some for you now. It's convenient to pack them up so you can eat them when you can't use fire."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Yingqi and Xiaoxian hurried in.

Lu Yingqi came closer and asked curiously, "What are you doing? Oh, there are glutinous rice balls, let me try some too."

After they sat down, Tong Jiajiu served each of them a bowl of glutinous rice balls.

After tasting a rose-filled glutinous rice dumpling, Xiaoxian looked at the glutinous rice dumplings in Ah Cai's bowl and asked in confusion, "Why do you only have three kinds of fillings?"

Ah Cai smiled slightly and responded, "Just try the other fillings. Some are really hard to eat."

Afterwards, Lu Yingqi went to Tongjiajiu to cook two bowls of glutinous rice balls of various colors, carefully packed them into two lunch boxes, and mailed them to her parents through the system.

Sitting down in the kitchen, she tasted the glutinous rice balls and said contentedly, "I still like the ones with meat filling the best, but the ones with lard and sesame filling are also acceptable."

Seeing this, Xiaoxian also followed Lu Yingqi's example and went to Tongjiajiu to cook some dumplings, packed them in a few lunch boxes, and mailed them to her grandfather, parents, and brothers and sisters.

As she ate, she said, "I can eat glutinous rice balls with any filling, but yours are too cheap. I want to buy them all."

Ah Cai swallowed the glutinous rice balls in her mouth and explained, "These are made for the villagers. The village provides subsidies. How is it? Is it delicious?"

"Good times!"

“It’s delicious!”

The two replied in unison.

After eating two dumplings, Lu Yingqi said, "After school starts, I will go to the school to register my diploma."

"By the way, our school got an appendix from it, which records the secret realm strategies for all the mission copies we have completed so far."

Ah Cai asked curiously, "A guide is out so soon?"

Xiaoxian approached the two of them and said, "I've also heard from my grandfather that this strategy is updated every three months by the dungeon leadership team."

"The dungeon group?" Ah Cai was even more curious. "That dungeon group isn't very big, is it?"

Xiaoxian nodded and replied, "The dungeon team has been expanded, and many players with extraordinary professional skills have been recruited."

Lu Yingqi asked curiously, "A heaven-defying profession? What kind of profession is considered heaven-defying?"

Ah Cai also wanted to know the answer. Xiaoxian scratched his head and replied, "For example, professions like Tianshi, Taoist priests, monks, etc."

"Oh, there are also professions like those particularly capable knights, like Yingqi's female knight."

Xiaoxian added, "But they are almost level 50 now, and most of them are serving in the army of Wangyou City."

Lu Yingqi nodded and said with emotion, "That's right. The highest level among us players outside is only level 30, but I heard that the soldiers in Wangyou City are almost level 60."

Xiaoxian also sighed, "This gap is not small. They have already started the level 60 assessment, and we are still hovering in the 20s."

Ah Cai ate her glutinous rice balls and comforted them, "Don't overthink it. We're already doing pretty well. The rewards from this one mission are equivalent to dozens of other people's missions, or even more. Why dwell on these beautiful things all day long?"

Lu Yingqi echoed, "That's right! How many people in the Novice Village die every day because they can't complete their quests? If it weren't for the quest [The Queen's Bloody Rose], who knows how many people would have died outside!"

Xiaoxian wiped her mouth and said, "Without Rose's guarantee, do you think they would dare to leave the Novice Village? They are not stupid."

Ah Cai raised an eyebrow, "A lot of people die and return to the Novice Village?"

Lu Yingqi and Xiaoxian nodded in unison. "Isn't that right? Recently, there have been some people being killed and brought back to the Novice Village. Then they report it directly, and the people from our Wangyou City will go and avenge the innocent people and get compensation."

Ah Cai thought to herself, goodness, our own players can even seek redress for their grievances. If they have grievances, they can even find someone to avenge them and recover their losses...
