When it was their turn, they both suggested that they just have one to try.

Shen Wu naturally agreed and took out a bun and handed it to the two of them: "This is the first time for two guests. Please try it first and see how it tastes. If you like it, come back and buy more."

After paying six coins, the two hurriedly took the buns to the side. Hesitantly looking at the still hot stall and the buns in their hands, the two decided to take half each to taste how it tasted.

Breaking the still warm big white bun in half, the filling inside was glistening with oil. With just one look, the two knew that the bun must be good.

After trying it again, I found that the texture and taste are definitely not inferior to those in some restaurants.

The two of them quickly swallowed the buns in their mouths and hurriedly lined up at the back of the line. The buns were crispy, fresh and fragrant, and the portion was large. Buying them for only six cents was a real bargain.

Shen Wu was busy making buns. The line, which was not long at first, gradually grew to more than a dozen people. She glanced at the customers as she handed them the buns. Most of them were yesterday's customers, but there were also one or two faces she had never seen before. Even so, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Even though there were only eleven or twelve of them, this showed that others recognized her craftsmanship. In the long run, she would be able to earn a comfortable living.

By the time the two customers arrived, this wave of customers was temporarily over. Seeing the two people's excited faces, Shen Wu directly paid and asked for four buns. While wrapping the four buns, he smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, my mother asked me to give the first customer a free taste in the next two days, but I forgot about it in my busy schedule. I will take three buns for the money of the two people's four buns, and the one I didn't give can be regarded as a bun I made up for it!" After saying that, he turned around and signaled Gu Zhou to return six coins to the two customers.

Although Gu Zhou didn't understand why she did this, he still counted out six coins and handed them over.

Shen Wu took the six coins with oil paper as a cushion and handed them to the two people together with the buns.

The two men had never seen anyone giving change before, so they were stunned at first. One of them took the bun and the other took the money and said with a smile: "Young man, you are honest in doing business. Just because of this, I will come again tomorrow."

Shen Wu thought about what if it rained and he wouldn't be able to come, so he quickly said: "I'm not sure whether I will come tomorrow, but if the weather is good, we brothers should be here. When we went out today, my mother warned my brother and me that these bamboo shoot buns will only be sold for a few days, and if we can make them, we will set up a stall here."

The two were curious as to why the bamboo shoots dumplings were gone after a few days, and they silently thought to themselves that it turned out to be made of bamboo shoots, no wonder they tasted so crispy, fresh and sweet.

Shen Wu looked at the two of them with some embarrassment, then turned back to look at his brother, and sighed, "The bamboo shoots will soon be past their most tender days. In a few days, the most delicious bamboo shoot season will be over, and naturally these bamboo shoot buns will be gone too."

Both of them suddenly realized that this was the case.

After bidding farewell to the two people, Shen Wu lifted the white cloth and looked at his backpack. There was not much food left in it. It was a little deformed due to being pressed underneath, and it did not look very good.

There was no one at the stall at the moment, so Shen Wu pulled Gu Zhou together and whispered, "I estimate we can buy a lot this time, so let's sell together! Sell out the goods quickly and go back quickly, or go to the store early to see if there is any flour left, and then buy some seasonings or something."

Gu Zhou saw that she was serious, nodded and said, "Okay."

Shen Wu is a complete social phobia in modern times, but who would have known that in ancient times, this thing seemed to be ineffective, and he shouted: "Bamboo shoots buns! Fresh bamboo shoots buns! Come and have a look! Now a big bun costs only six cents!".

After hearing what she shouted, Gu Zhou thought about it and shouted as well, "Fresh buns! Big fresh buns for six cents each~!"

When Shen Wu heard the kid beside him being so smart, he chuckled and continued shouting.

They kept shouting at each other and unexpectedly welcomed a new group of customers.

When the people saw her calling for buns, and saw two big, white buns on the two baskets in front of them, they hesitated whether to try them.

Seeing another person coming, Shen Wu stepped forward and introduced the buns to the customer enthusiastically: "Would you like to take a look at my buns? The skin is soft and the filling is delicious. They only cost six cents each."

The man looked like a worker nearby, with a beard, dark complexion, a sturdy body, and bright eyes. He was wearing a grayish-brown long gown with a cross collar and a cloth tied around his waist. The cloth looked old and had some hair on the edges.

Chuan Er saw that the two children were selling buns and was a little hesitant, but when he saw the buns in the backpack that were almost as big as his hand and only cost six cents, he decided to give it a try.

He reached into his arms and took out the money: "Give me one." After taking out the money, he looked at the backpack covered with white cloth.

Shen Wu quickly picked up the buns on top and said, "Today is the second day that our brothers have come out to sell buns. Mother said that if a customer comes for the first time in the first two days, we should give the customer a bun to try. If the customer thinks it's good, it's not too late to buy from him." After saying that, he picked up the bun and handed it to the person who came.

Chuan Er was not polite. He took the bun and put the money back into his arms. The bun in his hand was quite heavy. As soon as he took it in, he could clearly feel that it was different from those stalls. Six cents was enough for this amount...

He took a bite first, then chewed it a few times, his eyes lit up.

I don’t know what the filling is in this bun, but it’s fresh, crispy and sweet. Occasionally, you can taste the aroma of tar crisps, and if you taste it carefully, it actually has a numbing fragrance.

Chuan Er finished a bun in two or three bites and said quickly: "Give me four, please."

Shen Wu sighed, quickly pulled out two pieces of oil paper, and took out four buns from another backpack and wrapped them up.

She smiled and said, "Thank you for your patronage. Four buns cost twenty-four cents."

Chuan Er had counted the buns when she took them, and quickly handed them over and took them back. He ate two and left two to take home for his two young sons and his wife. The buns were big and tasty, and the children and his wife would definitely like them.

As soon as the customer left, Shen Wu started shouting again. After just a few words, a bunch of people came to buy. Although there were only ten, they all looked like they were working hard. You bought four or five, I bought four or five, and in a blink of an eye, a whole basket was bought, and even the ones that were flattened at the end were sold out.

There were three left. Shen Wu closed his stall and asked Gu Zhou to carry the backpack and help him lead the way.

To be honest, she is really bad at finding her way and still needs someone to help lead the way.

"Let's go buy some seasoning and flour from the store. We need some supplies for the family." As she said this, she handed two buns to Gu Zhou.

Gu Zhou didn't understand what she meant and thought she wanted him to help hold it. But she said, "These remaining buns don't look good, so let's just eat them!"

"I'm not hungry." Gu Zhou had seen the money that buns could make these days. He was afraid that he would lose a lot if he ate them himself, so he naturally didn't want to eat them. But he was too embarrassed to speak up, so he found an excuse.

Shen Wu forgot to give Gu Zhou breakfast today, and felt so guilty. Seeing him pretending not to be hungry, he felt even more guilty: "We were supposed to eat the buns this morning, but I forgot about it in a hurry. Eat them soon and don't worry about wasting anything. It will be difficult to sell them if you don't eat them. The buns are almost cold. If we can't sell them, we'll have to eat them when we take them back. Wouldn't it be a waste of time if we heat up the meal later?"
