What is the staple food in Xiao Xue?

Xiaoxue's staple food is black rice and jiaozi.

Black rice is the treasure of rice. It is called "Gong Mi" and "Longevity Rice" and has special nutritional value. The color of black rice is different from other rice, mainly because its outer cortex contains anthocyanin pigments, which are also rich in flavonoids, which is five times that of white rice.

Jiaozi existed as early as the Three Kingdoms period, but jiaozi at that time was similar to wonton now. After it was cooked, it was put in a bowl with soup, so people at that time called jiaozi "Wonton". It was not until after the Tang Dynasty that jiaozi became the same as it is now. Jiaozi's original name is said to be Joule, which was first invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint in China. His story of "Burning Khan Joule Soup" is still circulating among the people in China.
