Chapter 14 Authentic Steamed Buns

Of course, I didn’t buy any candy. Jiang Lu bought me a pound of melon seeds. Without melon seeds during the Chinese New Year, it wouldn’t be like the Chinese New Year. On New Year’s Eve, there was no TV or short videos, so I relied on melon seeds to support the scene.

When they returned, they both had more than one dollar in their pockets.

"I'm going to the old Xu's steamed bun shop in Qiaotou, why don't you come with me," Zhou Chunhe said.

"Want to buy steamed buns?" Jiang Lu guessed.

"Um."

"Okay." Jiang Lu hasn't eaten steamed buns for a long time. He has long heard that the steamed buns of this era are genuine and must taste good.

The two passed through two streets. There were already many shops on the roadside. The first generation of self-employed businesses had begun to take shape. Although they were not large-scale, the open wind had begun to blow, and business opportunities were already surging in the streets and alleys. Jiang Lu watched

In this crowded street, some ideas came into her mind, and she knew what she would do to make a huge profit.

Zhou Chunhe was riding more slowly now, and the wind in front of him was not so biting. A few children held firecrackers in their hands and blew up everything they could on the street corner where adults could not see them. Even the cesspit was not spared.

Jiang Lu covered her mouth and looked at their panicked expressions after the prank. She pulled Zhou Chunhe's clothes to show him.

"Ha, you bastard, you are as naughty as I was when I was a kid." Zhou Chunhe said with a smile.

"Were you so lazy when you were a child?"

"Which child had a serious career when he was young? Is childhood without wild behavior still called childhood?" Zhou Chunhe said matter-of-factly.

Jiang Lu was almost convinced. Yes, people are too imprisoned in this life. If you don't run wild when you are young, how long will it last?

"We're here." Zhou Chunhe stopped his bicycle in front of a steamed bun shop, landed on one foot, and helped Jiang Lu get out of the car with one hand from behind.

This move made Jiang Lu stunned for a moment, and his sense of detail was immediately heightened, "I can do it myself."

"I know you can, I just want to help."

Jiang Lu: "..." I dare to think that she has become the superfluous person.

"Boss, here are four meat buns." Zhou Chunhe set up his bicycle and said to the boss, "Let's have five."

The steamed bun shop is not big, and the boss is opening a drawer of steamed buns. The steaming mist instantly fills the whole shop. The old boss shuttles around, holding steamed buns for customers. This is a time-honored steamed bun shop in Ershui Town. I heard that Qianlong

It started business in the year, and it was only recently opened for the second time that it was closed for a long time. Now, the owner has changed from a young man to an old man, and the sign at the entrance of the store is already shiny.

, experienced many vicissitudes of life.

Jiang Lu noticed that this old Xu family bun shop was doing well. In addition to the boss and his wife, there was also an apprentice who was busy.

"Here, comrade, your buns." The boss handed the buns over and wrapped them in paper.

Zhou Chunhe took it and handed over another dollar, "Have you seen enough?"

"Just right." The boss smiled.

Vegetable buns cost 10 cents each, while meat buns cost 20 cents each. Jiang Lu was still shocked when he looked at the palm-sized buns. This bun would be enough to fill him up.

"Old man, your bun shop must keep opening." Zhou Chunhe suddenly said.

"How do you say this?" the boss asked curiously.

Zhou Chunhe scratched his head, "I have an old man at home, and I miss your family."

"That's great. Thank you for your support." The uncle smiled, with wrinkles gathering at the corners of his eyes.

When Zhou Chunhe was about to leave, the old man stopped him again and handed over a sugar bun, "Here, take it."

"I didn't buy this." Zhou Chunhe said.

"No money, just give it to the old man in your family. As I get older, I like to eat sweets. I hope he likes it too."

Zhou Chunhe looked at Jiang Lu and then at the boss, "Then I won't be polite."

"You're welcome, I hope to see the old man you mentioned next time."

"Of course, I will definitely bring him here next time." Zhou Chunhe promised, patting his chest. When he was happy, he helped the boss take the two drawers of buns off the steamer.

Jiang Lu suddenly realized that Zhou Chunhe's so-called domineering and unreasonable behavior was nothing more than refusing to succumb to authority and not being manipulated by others. His temperament of clearly distinguishing between love and hate, avenging hatred and repaying kindness was so rare that it seemed abnormal.

, not the right way.

In this world, there is no such thing as truth or falsehood. Most people's ideas are the mainstream. But Zhou Chunhe doesn't. He neither compromises nor follows the crowd. If the truth doesn't make sense, he will use his fists to maintain his opinions. This is

He became a so-called rogue.

Jiang Lu looked at Zhou Chunhe with complicated eyes now. After all, she thought so too a few hours ago.

"Let's go eat noodles." Zhou Chunhe held the car with one hand and held Jiang Lu's hand with the other. Of the two, he seemed to be the one from later generations, bold and unscrupulous.

"What kind of noodles can you eat with two cents?" Jiang Lu was a little confused. He bought steamed buns and only had two cents left.

"I'll keep you fed." Zhou Chunhe said mysteriously and walked forward.

Until Zhou Chunhe brought a bowl of white noodles to her, she looked at Zhou Chunhe with big eyes, "Two cents?"

"Only two cents." Zhou Chunhe said.

"These sauerkraut and beans are free of charge?"

"These are all the ingredients. Here, put them yourself." Zhou Chunhe pointed to a small table in front of the noodle shop.

Jiang Lu was already hungry, and the smell of pickled cabbage brought out his greedy self.

"Eat." Zhou Chunhe handed over the chopsticks.

Jiang Lu picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, but something was wrong, "What are you eating?"

"Two cents is only enough to buy a bowl of noodles." Zhou Chunhe told the truth and did not lie that he was not hungry.

Jiang Lu took another bowl, divided the noodles into two, and gave him a bowl.

"I won't eat. You eat until you're full, otherwise neither of us will be happy." Zhou Chunhe pushed the bowl back.

"It's not that I'm afraid that you're hungry, but if you don't eat something, you won't have the energy to ride the bicycle later. It's me who will suffer because it's freezing." Jiang Lu pushed the bowl over again and ate the noodles.

, ignore him no more.

Zhou Chunhe grinned, wishing he could pounce on his daughter-in-law and take a bite of her. He saw clearly the tofu heart hidden in the mouth of the knife, and without any further excuses, he picked up the bowl and started eating.

Halfway through eating, he remembered something, took out a bun from the canvas bag, and put it in Jiang Lu's bowl, "It's still hot, eat it while it's hot. I'll send the rest to the second master. I'll make sure to let him do it next time."

You eat enough."

Jiang Lu raised his head from the noodle bowl, divided the bun into two parts, and threw half of it into his bowl.

Zhou Chunhe became anxious, "I said, why do you bitches like to share things with me? It's so unlucky."

Jiang Lu burst into laughter, "Are you still superstitious about this?"

"I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist." Zhou Chunhe said confidently.

"Eat your food, I'm full." Jiang Lu took a sip of noodle soup and felt really full.

"It won't happen next time." Zhou Chunhe picked up the half of the buns and ate it in one bite.

After finishing the steamed buns and noodles, he asked for a bowl of noodle soup from the boss. The original soup turned into the original food, which couldn't be better.

Jiang Lu watched him doing all this in one go, as if it was a different life. She also liked to do this in the previous life. She is a northerner, and the best thing is this original soup.

Inexplicably touched.

"You also like to eat noodles?" Jiang Lu couldn't help but ask.

"I'll eat anything, I'm not picky about food." Zhou Chunhe said hehey.
