A Farm Girl Traveling Through Time: Raising a Stunning Husband

The man took the bun from Shen Wu's hand, looked at it carefully, and then pried a crack in it with the oil paper.

Instantly, a refreshing aroma of oil emanates from the place where it is broken open.

Si'er's eyes lit up, he picked up half of it and put it into his mouth to taste it carefully.

The skin is soft, the inside is crispy, sweet and salty, and you can occasionally taste the crispy and fragrant lard. Even though I have eaten many delicious foods following my master, I was still impressed by this bite of bun.

Si'er took the remaining half and said to the younger brother, "Young man, pack four for me."

Seeing that people were interested in buying, Shen Wu hurriedly reminded them kindly: "We don't have the ten-cent discount for two today. Six buns cost twenty-four cents. Do you still need more?"

Seeing the boy's sincere face, Si'er knew he had no other intentions and was just kind, so he replied, "Nothing, your buns are delicious."

Shen Wu couldn't help feeling happy when she heard him say that. He was dressed like a servant of a wealthy family, and she felt proud to receive such affirmation.

"Here, there are two buns in one oil paper. Just give the money to my brother." He handed the two large oil paper bags he had just wrapped to the other person.

Si'er took out twenty-four coins from his pocket, counted them out and handed them to the taller child next to the little brother.

After sending the man away, Shen Wu was so happy that he couldn't help but say to Gu Zhou: "He looks like a servant from a wealthy family with his attire, and he actually likes my buns."

Gu Zhou packed the money and put the bag carefully back into his arms before replying, "I haven't been to town very often, and I've never seen anyone wearing this kind of clothes."

Seeing that Gu Zhou hadn't seen it either, Shen Wu chuckled and said, "I must be overthinking it."

Just as he finished speaking, a few more people came and shouted as they arrived in front of the stall: "Hey, give me ten buns!"

Shen Wu saw that it seemed to be the big brother who came yesterday, and quickly said: "My big brother, yesterday was the first time we sold buns, and there was a discount. Today we will return to the original price, six cents a bun."

The man's eyes rolled and he thought to himself: "Okay, then bring me five first."

"Hey, please wait a moment," Shen Wu responded, and quickly took out the oil paper and took out the buns for his eldest brother from the covered backpack. They were still stacked two together, with two on each piece of oil paper.

After making the three oil paper bags, Shen Wu looked up and said with a smile: "Thirty cents, just give it to my brother."

The eldest brother had already counted the money, and as soon as Shen Wu finished speaking, the eldest brother handed the money to Gu Zhou.

Gu Zhou took the money, counted it, put it into his purse as usual, and then put it back in front of his chest.

Seeing that the customer had paid, Shen Wu quickly picked up the oil paper bag and handed it over: "Please be careful, sir. The buns are hot, watch out for burning your hands."

The eldest brother put the bun into his arms and said with a bright smile: "It's okay, it's okay. It will be almost ready to eat when I get back."

After seeing off the eldest brother, several more people came one after another. Before Shen Wu had time to take out new ones for tasting, he saw that the people who came seemed to be the last few eldest brothers who came yesterday.

As soon as they arrived in front of the backpack, Shen Wu greeted them before they even opened their mouths: "Uncles, would you like some buns?"

They looked familiar with each other, and they approached Shen Wu and Gu Zhou and said, "Give me three!"

"I want two"

"I'll have two too"

Seeing that several uncles were eager to buy buns, Shen Wugang hurriedly said: "Today there is no discount of two buns for ten cents, but one bun is still six cents. Is that okay with you uncles?"

Several of them were doing physical labor such as lifting heavy objects, and they were always hungry after eating soup on weekdays. But yesterday, after eating the buns and soup made by the young man, they didn’t feel hungry until noon, so they wanted to buy more.

Besides, these buns are quite affordable. A big one costs almost one pound at six cents. The skin is extremely soft and the filling is fragrant. Not only is the filling rich and fragrant, but it is also very filling when paired with the cheapest vegetable soup.

Seeing that yesterday's discount was gone, six cents each was not considered expensive. After all, the buns were indeed outstanding. Several people nodded and agreed quickly: "It's okay without the discount. I want two."

“I want two too.”

“I want two too.”

The two of them shouted this out together.

Shen Wu quickly asked Gu Zhou to hand her the oil paper, and she lifted the cloth covering the buns, took out two and wrapped them in the oil paper.

There were three pieces of oil paper in total, which were placed in order. Shen Wu and others gave the money to Gu Zhou, who then handed them to them one by one: "Mother has put more stuffing in the buns today. Uncles, go back and try it and see how the stuffing tastes today."

One of the people couldn't wait any longer, so he opened the oil-paper package and took a bite. The filling in his mouth was so hot that he didn't want to stop eating, so he chewed it a few times and swallowed it.

"Oh! The stuffing your mother made is really good. The bamboo shoots inside are crispy, and the crunchy stuff is so fragrant."

As the man spoke, he hurriedly took another bite. Although it was the end of summer, the weather was still very hot in the morning. He was not afraid of the burn and ate half of it with a spit. He was also afraid that the stuffing would fall out of the oil paper, so he took bites of the rest here and there.

The person who was following him saw him like this and quickly opened the oil paper.

It was so oily and crispy when you took a bite, and several people finished one in no time.

Shen Wu actually didn't put much oil in the food. It might be because there wasn't much oil in the food in ancient times, and she added some oil residue, so the mouths of the people who ate it were full of oil.

People passing by saw the reactions of the few people and became interested and came over to ask: "Hey, brother, how much do you sell this for?"

Shen Wu quickly replied: "Our buns are made with real ingredients, the stuffing is freshly made, and the skin is made from leavened dough. One only costs six cents."

When the people heard the price, they were shocked: "Why is it so expensive?!"

The few people who were still eating nearby were about to eat the second one. Seeing them like this, they couldn't help but say, "Brother, these buns are not expensive. A steamed bun costs eight cents at the morning market."

The man was about to continue asking, but he saw a few people looking into the distance, lowering their heads and saying something, then putting the buns back in their chests, replying to the two guys selling buns, and then hurried away.

"Hey! Take care, everyone!" Shen Wu waved goodbye to them. Seeing them walking away, he turned around to look at the two people still standing in front of him. While the two were hesitating, several more waves of people arrived.

Seeing people crowding forward, Gu Zhou quickly said, "One bun is six cents, two are twelve cents."

Several people who came had tried it yesterday. Some bought it just to try it out and shared it with their friends. They took one home and then regretted it after tasting it. They wondered why they shared it with their friends and should have bought two directly.

Although there was no discount today like yesterday, the people who came over knew that the buns they sold were delicious and they scrambled to buy some to take home.

When Shen Wu saw there were so many people, he immediately spoke: "Uncles, please line up one by one and give money to my brother. Give as many coins as needed for the buns he needs. If you uncles are so anxious, we two children really won't be able to handle it. It's okay for us to be a little tired, but we are afraid of delaying your work."

After hearing this, the people who came hurriedly lined up one by one. The two people in front were forced to join the line. They looked at the person in front of them doubtfully as he happily handed the money to the tall black boy, and then took the oil-paper wrapped buns from the thinner boy.
