A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

Shen Wu leaned close to Gu Zhou and whispered, "Go buy some oil paper, the kind used to wrap food. I think I'll need it later."

Gu Zhou nodded and quickly turned around and went to the grocery store.

The two of them took the steaming buns and smelled them first. There was no special smell. It was similar to the buns steamed in other shops.

Try breaking it open again. Who would have thought that a pungent aroma would burst out from it. Liuzi took the biggest piece first, put it in his mouth, and forced the smaller piece into his friend's hand.

Seeing him being so mean, his good friend Hu Ye wanted to snatch the bun, but after seeing how he ate it, he snorted and took the smaller half bun to eat.

"Oh my! It's really delicious. The aroma of oil has seeped into it, and the skin inside seems to be juicy when it is cracked. Can you please give me six big buns, young shopkeeper?" Liuzi placed his first large order to Shen Wu as soon as he swallowed the bun.

The friend next to him also nodded, swallowed the delicious food and said, "I'll have six too!!"

Shen Wu smiled faintly: "You two may not know that this bun is very big. If you two eat six, your stomach will probably be uncomfortable."

Hu Ye took out some money from his pocket and said, "Young shopkeeper, you don't know, we both have big appetites, so this is just enough. If there is any leftover, we can give it to our friends to try."

Shen Wu nodded, and hurriedly took the oil paper that Gu Zhou had bought and wrapped them for them. The oil paper was not big, and could only wrap three buns at most at a time. If there were more, they would easily fall out. Gu Zhou also brought back thin hemp rope, which made Shen Wu very happy. So he wrapped three buns with one piece of paper for two customers, and then stacked the two packages in a layer, tied a cross knot with the hemp rope and handed it to them.

Hu Ye handed over the 30 coins he had counted out and happily left with his friend, carrying the buns.

"Hey! Remember to eat it early, it won't taste good if left for too long!" Shen Wu almost forgot that the buns cannot be covered, but there was nothing to put in them so he had to wrap them like this. He shouted from a distance and didn't know if the customers heard him. He just saw people turning around and nodding.

After the two politely left, a few more people came around to try the buns. Shen Wu naturally let them share and taste the buns as usual, and then gave them the buns and collected money one by one.

After tasting the delicious buns, people naturally rushed to buy them. Some wanted two, some wanted four. Shen Wu was so busy that he let Gu Zhou collect the money from each person and give him a portion of buns.

People on her face kept coming and going, and she had no time to do anything else. She didn't know how many times she had repeated the action of giving buns to the guests. She was able to breathe a sigh of relief only when the crowd on her face had finally left. She kept smiling as she looked at the buns that were left.

After an early tide, only the buns at the bottom layer that were damaged by the pressure were left in the bamboo basket. Although they were separated by something, some of them were still damaged. Shen Wu planned to sell the better ones at the original price and eat the rest of the severely damaged ones himself.

Just as I sat down and was about to take a break, I saw the first big brother running towards me in a hurry, followed by several strong men.

Shen Wu was a little puzzled, but still stood up to greet the guest: "Uncle, what are you doing?"

The man saw the buns at the bottom of the basket and said quickly: "We will pack the rest, give them all to me, little shopkeeper."

The few who came later finally arrived and hurried to the stall to have a look. Seeing the few buns there were, they complained aloud: "Fourth brother, you are really hiding your hand. You didn't tell the brothers about the delicious food! If we couldn't find you after the morning work, you would have kept it from us."

"Luckily I still have some left. I'll buy them all back to eat. I'm really tired of eating those bland soups every day."

Several people were talking to each other, staring at the buns in the basket. The broken buns looked good now, with the emerald green stuffing shining with oil, and the white skin and green bamboo basket made people feel extremely hungry just by looking at them.

Shen Wu said quickly: "These... the remaining ones are not in good condition. Otherwise, I will pack the ones in good condition for you and I will take the broken ones back."

After hearing this, several people said at the same time: "Don't!!!"

"Young shopkeeper, please sell them all to us. It doesn't matter if they are broken. We all need to eat them. On the contrary, they look more delicious when they are broken."

Shen Wu thought about it and came up with an idea: "How about this, I'd like to sell them for six cents each and ten cents for two. These buns are at the bottom and don't look good, so I'll give you the original price for a better one, and I'll deduct two cents for each broken one, how about that?"

Several people were shocked. Why was this young shopkeeper offering even more discounts?

Shen Wu bent down to take out the good buns, selected six from them and wrapped them separately, then carefully took out the broken ones, placed the broken parts facing each other, and was about to wrap them up when someone hurriedly stopped him.

"Young shopkeeper, please be patient! Let us brothers eat the broken ones."

After hearing this, Shen Wu didn't wrap it up, but put the broken bun on top so that they would have something to hold.

There were not many broken pieces, only four in number, and they fit neatly together when placed on a piece of paper.

"The original price of these buns is thirty cents, and the damaged ones are twelve cents, a total of forty-two cents." Shen Wu counted the money for them and handed the buns out personally.

The uncle who bought the buns earlier counted out forty-two coins and handed them to Gu Zhou skillfully. He came back to his senses and took a broken bun from his friend's hand and ate it: "This taste is really indescribable, it's really delicious. Will the little shopkeeper come again tomorrow?"

Shen Wu thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow is fine, but my mother is not feeling well and can't do much, so we may be late tomorrow."

As soon as the people who came finished speaking, they took the buns and ate them in two bites. After eating, they said, "It's okay to eat later. We will wait for the young shopkeeper tomorrow. Your buns are really delicious."

Shen Wu nodded and agreed: "I'll be here tomorrow."

After seeing off the last batch of guests, Shen Wu and Gu Zhou packed up and prepared to go back. Originally, Shen Wu wanted to carry the backpack herself, but Gu Zhou insisted. Shen Wu was a big sister, so she didn't argue with the child and gave it to him.

It was almost time to go back. Shen Wu looked around and saw nothing to buy, so he went to the agreed place with Gu Zhou.

Li Youfu arrived early this time. He drove the car and waited for a while before seeing two children coming with baskets on their backs. When the children came up to him, he asked them about the result of their purchase of buns.

Shen Wu smiled and said, "Uncle, they are all sold out."

Li Youfu slapped his thigh excitedly: "I knew it! The buns you made, Yuwawa, are so delicious! How come there are any leftovers?! They must have all been sold."

Shen Wu suddenly felt a little embarrassed when being praised like that, and quickly turned his head away.

Li Youfu asked the two children to get in the car and sit tight, then he whipped the car and drove home.

On the way, Shen Wu stared at the scenery in a trance, wondering whether she should make more buns to sell tomorrow. Business was good today, but she also knew that this was like the troubles that a novice will encounter in fishing. Whether the products could be sold in the long run depended on management methods and reputation.

But she is just a social animal in the modern world and has never done any business. If she wants to develop in the long term, she still needs some plans. It is not as simple as she thought.
