Yuan Junyao asked, "How much are the buns?"

The stall owner said, "Meat buns are three cents each, and vegetarian ones are one cent."

These children must all eat meat buns.

Yuan Junyao counted them and found that there were three of her siblings, two boys from her second uncle's family, four children from her fourth uncle's family, and an old man, a total of ten people.

Seeing that Yuan Junyao seemed to be counting the number of people, the stall owner saw that it was a large order. He immediately opened the lid of the steamer. The aroma of steam wafted out. He smiled and said, "Girl, our buns are big and have plenty of fillings. They are very affordable."

The buns were indeed very big, one was as big as her palm, and two people with small appetites were full.

She immediately took out the half tael of silver and said, "Give me thirty meat buns."

Thirty meat buns, ninety cents.

It’s enough for ten people to eat, and the leftovers can be taken back for Qi Meixiang to eat. If you finish them, you can buy more later.

The stall owner smiled broadly and said immediately, "Okay, I'll pack it for you right away. It's ninety coins in total, and I'll give you two more plain buns."

Yuan Junyao smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

She counted out ninety copper coins and handed them to the stall owner. The stall owner asked his wife to count them while he was busy wrapping the buns.

Yuan Shisheng looked at her with a painful look in his eyes, his glares darting towards Yuan Junyao, but Yuan Junyao pretended not to see.

There were tables and chairs next to the bun stall, and Yuan Junyao invited everyone to sit down and eat.

At this time, Yuan Wang took out a copper coin given by his father and handed it to Yuan Junyao.

"Sister, this is for you. When I have money in the future, I will treat you to buns."

Yuan Junyao naturally refused and said, "Then treat me when you have money."

Yuan Wang insisted on giving it to me, and said with a sad face, "If you don't, I'll be beaten when I go back. My father said that I'm not allowed to spend my uncle's money."

"You're already eighteen, how could your father still beat you?" Yuan Junyao said seriously, "Besides, you didn't spend your uncle's money! You spent my money. Second uncle didn't tell you not to spend your sister's money, did he?"

Yuan Wang scratched his head, but still insisted on giving the money to Yuan Junyao.

"If you don't want it, then I won't eat the meat buns."

"Okay." Yuan Junyao had no choice but to accept the money.

"Sister, I'll give it to you too." The older one took the lead and the younger one immediately followed.

Yuan Junyao could only accept all the money, thinking that she might as well buy them some candied haws later.

"Your child is really sensible."

The stall owner placed the buns on the table one by one, and considerately gave three buns in a pack.

He also placed the vegetarian package in front of Yuan Junyao, "This is a vegetarian package for you, please keep it."

"Okay, thank you, boss. Business is booming."

Yuan Junyao was sweet-talking and had made such a big deal. The stall owner happily gave another person a cup of herbal tea.

"No charge, just give it to you to drink."

It will take him a long time to sell all the buns Yuan Junyao bought, and it’s hot today, so buns with meat fillings will go bad easily.

This boss knows how to do business. Yuan Junyao decided that next time she wanted to eat buns, she would come to his place again. She picked up the bun and took a bite. It tasted good.

The group ate with gusto, their mouths full of oil. Not to mention, the meat-filled buns were just delicious!!

They can only eat meat during the Chinese New Year and other festivals, and since there are so many people in the family, they can only eat a few pieces.

Meat, white rice and fine noodles are rare.

Fine noodles and pork cost thirty-five coins per pound, while white rice costs seventy-five coins per pound.

Although Yuan Shisheng had a gloomy face and felt that Yuan Junyao was wasting money, when the buns were placed in front of him, he still picked up one and ate it.

But he couldn't bear to eat one, so he wrapped the other two and stuffed them into his clothes on his chest.

Yuan Junyao noticed his movements and asked, "Are you full after eating one bun?"

Even the youngest Yuanbao ate two whole ones.

Yuan Shisheng saw that she still had a bad face, and was obviously still very dissatisfied with her wasteful spending, and his tone of voice was still very aggressive.

"I'll take it back and leave it for your mother to eat!"

Yuan Junyao said speechlessly: "I have five buns here. I will be full after eating one meat bun and one vegetable bun. I will bring some back for my mother to eat."

Yuan Shisheng snorted coldly and said nothing more, but he didn't take out the buns to eat either.

Yuan Junyao ignored him and just ate buns and drank her cold tea.

These ancient buns are indeed made with real ingredients. They are big and have lots of fillings. You will feel full after eating two.

Basically, everyone is full after eating two buns.

Yuan Wang said happily, "I want to leave some for my mother to eat, too."

"I'll stay too."

"Then I'll leave it for Dad to eat."

...........

After finishing the buns, Yuan Junyao waved and said with a smile: "Come on, I'll buy you some candied haws!"

Yuan Shisheng had just stood up, and almost stumbled and fell when he heard this. His face darkened, and he stared at Yuan Junyao with his eyes as if they were about to spit fire.

Yuan Junyao didn't even look at him. This was just a small amount of money. Besides, wasn't the point of making money to have fun?

She can make back the money by catching a few more snakes in the mountains and using instruments to find some precious medicinal herbs.

For her, money is earned, not saved.

However, she could understand Yuan Shisheng, but understanding was one thing, and she could not change herself to accommodate him.

These are children in their teens, the age when they are greedy, but they are all very sensible.

Yuan Guier said, "Sister, you've already spent a lot of money today, so why don't you buy the candied haws?"

Yuan Liu'er also said: "Keep it for yourself. Grandma said that you will have a hard time in your husband's family."

However, Yuanbao, the youngest boy, pursed his lips, swallowed, and looked a little unhappy.

He wants to eat candied haws!

He just finished eating three buns and now he feels very full.

He has three older sisters and he is the only son of his parents, so he has been spoiled since he was a child.

Several older children echoed this.

"Sister, we are full."

"Yes, sister, we don't eat candied haws."

Yuan Shisheng said with relief: "You are all good and sensible children. Your sister treated you to meat buns today. You must remember her kindness."

Although these children are his nephews and nieces, they are of different generations after all, so he is reluctant to spend so much money on them at once.

Yuan Junyao was very touched. She liked sensible and obedient children.

"It's okay. I told you guys to eat candied haws, so I'll treat you guys to candied haws! You don't need to remember your sister's kindness. I'm just your only brother. You just need to help Junhe more in the future."

As she said that, she walked straight towards the old man selling candied haws.

Yuan Shisheng looked at her with complicated eyes, but this time his expression was much more relaxed.

Two strings of candied haws cost one cent, but with so many children it would cost several cents.

After buying some candied haws, Yuan Junyao gave a string to everyone, and then gave another string to Yuan Shisheng.

"Dad, let me feed you."

"I don't want to eat this," Yuan Shisheng muttered, but still took it and said, "I'll leave it for your mother."
