Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023

The Blue Star Snack Stand, on its first day out, was an overwhelming success, creating a small wave at the Boundless Cliff Pier.

By around 3 a.m., everything they prepared was completely sold out. After getting some information, Nian Shutong and the others started packing up, ready to leave.

The buzz about the fried goods spread quickly across Boundless Cliff.

Many people who didn’t get a taste today are looking forward to tomorrow.

Many others are eyeing Nian Shutong’s free franchise opportunity. Although all steps were transparent today, like freshly slaughtered chickens and prepped vegetables, the white batter and the filling have a secret recipe, not something you can just learn.

Even the final frying technique is a skill unto itself.

After Nian Shutong and the others finished cleaning up, they chatted warmly with the surrounding people, saying things like they’ll be back tomorrow, and walked away with laughter.

"I never thought this could be eaten ."

"Who would have thought? But the taste really is nice."

"It really doesn’t affect cultivation?"

"Are you really that foolish? The so-called simple eating is just because they don’t know how to cook well."

"Exactly, it’s said that for a dish to be amazing, there are hundreds of different ingredients."

"True, a cousin’s uncle’s aunt’s third daughter works at an Immortal’s house, and what they eat every day isn’t simple."

"Who doesn’t like delicious food? Besides, we’ve all eaten it, all spiritual plants, it’s fine."

"Yes, yes, on our Xuanling Continent, it’s quite difficult to find anything without Spiritual Energy."

A group of people chatting behind them, cautious about new things today, all know that affecting cultivation is nonsense, and the taste greatly exceeded their expectations, making many start to look forward to it.

On the other side, as Nian Shutong was leaving, she had Master Fan take Rubble and Ha Ha back to the courtyard first.

She, Lin Mu, and Lian Qing split into three groups to buy ingredients for the next day, planning to spread the Blue Star Snack Stand as widely as possible.

The geographical advantage of Boundless Cliff is clear, very favorable for spreading these things.

"Lin Mu, go buy some hops, the more the better."

"Lian Qing, you go buy flour, seasoning, beans, lotus root, and eggplant. Check if there are mushrooms available; you can buy some too."

Both of them agreed readily; time was tight, and the three of them immediately split up.

Nian Shutong herself went to buy meat, a lot of meat.

At this time in Boundless Cliff, there’s a lot of wholesale goods available, and this time Nian Shutong bought not just chicken, but also a lamb.

When they returned to the courtyard, they started preparing right away; there was no time to waste.

In the courtyard, people were milling flour, frying bean oil, picking mushrooms, washing lotus roots, brewing wine, and even Master Fan was handling the lamb, marinating it.

Tomorrow, the roast whole lamb was planned.

Everyone was busy with their tasks, sitting, standing, talking as they worked.

"Through those people on the cargo ships, I got the gist."

"The Xuanling Continent is divided by the Boundless Cliff into two major parts, the East and West Continents. Flying over Boundless Cliff is the only way, but it’s not a safe route, so the cargo ships that can pass through are backed by strong forces."

"The East Continent is mainly Immortal, Demon, and Human, while the West Continent has Beasts, Machinery, and the Ghost Clan as its mainstay."

"We are now on the West Continent, just at the fringe, and haven’t interacted with these forces yet."

"The East Continent is rich in or raises unintelligent animals, and the Beast Clan has the highest demand. Both the East and West Continents have distinct spiritual plants and fruits; they exchange what the other lacks."

Nian Shutong, holding the hops, using some interstellar devices, began mass-producing beer, chilling it, ready to sell the next night.

"Master, such a vast area, just selling snacks might be slow in finding the master."

Nian Shutong nodded, saying to Lian Qing: "You’re right, so this is just a temporary measure, we need more information, and Boundless Cliff is a good place for that."

Everyone agreed, it’s a transportation hub, a bridge connecting the East and West Continents, with quick information flow.

Being newcomers, they needed to be a bit cautious.

Everyone stopped speaking and started working.

By around 11 p.m. the next night, the Blue Star Snack Stand was on the move again.

This time, their stall was a bit larger, and when the six of them arrived, people were already waiting.

"The Blue Star Snacks are here!"

"You finally arrived!"

"Exactly, I kept thinking about the taste when I went home yesterday, got here by ten today."

"Me too, went home with a little drink, so delightful."

Nian Shutong cupped her hands, fist in palm, and said to everyone: "Thanks to everyone’s likes, we’re firing up the stand now."

The people opposite started making room for them, some eager ones even wanted to help, but seeing them deftly and efficiently setting up, there was no place to intervene.

In no time, a larger stall than yesterday’s was set up.

"We’ve got a new snack today, fried mushrooms."

"And, we prepared a big dish for everyone today, roast whole lamb."

A golden brown roast whole lamb, brought out by Nian Shutong, was placed on the prepared grill, which she started turning.

Nian Shutong held a brush in one hand, a honey jar in the other, and began to brush.

Each brush stroke released an overwhelming aroma into everyone’s noses.

"Give me two pounds of fried goods, a pound of that lamb, and two beers."

"I want three pounds of fried goods, a pound of meat."

"Five beers, three pounds of meat, three pounds of fried goods!"

The stall was bustling, everyone working in the same roles, except this time Nian Shutong also managed the roast lamb, which was just as well under control.

Just when the roast lamb was nearly finished, a familiar tall figure, much like Ha Ha used to be, with a long tail, followed the scent over.

"Roast lamb, this is all that’s left."

Nian Shutong sold the last of the fried goods, looking up to see the over two-meter-tall Beastman.

"Want some? It’s almost gone."

The Beastman was firm, and Nian Shutong sliced the remaining lamb and sold it to him.

He didn’t leave, pouring the box of meat into his mouth with one hand.

He swallowed in a few bites.

"We’re sold out for today, there will be more tomorrow."

The Beastman seemed a bit unhappy, but put down the small box and said to Nian Shutong: "I want a whole one."

"Sorry, we don’t take reservations."
