Chapter 23: The lunch box

Su Lan agreed and went with everyone to the garden. When Su Lan took out her stainless steel lunch box and large water bottle from the basket everyone looked at it curiously.

King: "What is this box that holds the food? I never saw this type of ... lunch box."

All takeout food was still being put on plates and then put into a basket.

Su Lan: "I made this. It helps keep the food temperature for a day or so."

King: "Oh?"

Su Lan opens the lunch box. The lunch box had 3 levels. The first level contains cold spicy noodles. The second were apple shrimp salad. The last level contained small separate containers of fruit and grass jelly. The large water bottle container had green bean soup.

Su Lan: "It summer right now so I made some food that help with the heat."

King: "What is that colorful square shape food?"

Su Lan: "Oh, it is a type of dessert call jelly. I made it with different types of fruits."

King: "Then let us eat."

Liu Shan: "Humph."

Su Lan: "Father...."

When everyone started to eat Su Lan almost had her mouth hung open.

Su Lan (in her mind): How can they eat like a whirlwind just flew by and still look so graceful!!!???

When everyone was done the King started to speak.

King: "Xiao Lan, the lunch box and water bottle can you make another one for us."

Su Lan: "Sure, it is pretty useful to keep the water hot in winter and food cool in the summer."

Liu Shan: "It pretty good for the army too."

Su Lan: "Ah, I can't make that many! How about I open a store and sell it instead?"

Liu Shan: "Not bad, tell me what you need I will help you set it up. Also remember to charge Jin for it."

King: "Shan really."

Liu Shan: "Really."

King: "Fine, tell me when it is done. Oh, also open a pastry store while you are at it."

Su Lan: "Sure...., do have a color you want in mind for the lunch box and bottle or is sliver okay?"

King: "Oh, you can change the color?"

Su Lan: "Yes."

King: "No, the color sliver is fine."

Su Lan turns and face the two prince.

Su Lan: "Prince Ran (1st Prince) and Prince Jun (2nd Prince) would you guys like one?"

Prince Ran: "Yes, if possible I prefer dark blue."

Prince Jun: "I want red."

Su Lan: "Got it, how about the size?"

This conversion goes on for a while till Su Lan got all the details of the order.

After the King left and the two prince left Su Lan finally got to talk to her father.
