After coming back to his senses, Lu Sheng grabbed a bun, chewed it, and spit it out with a "bah bah" sound. It was so disgusting.
He has been eating mutton buns every day for the past year. They tasted great at first, but in the end he felt they were tasteless and it was a pity to throw them away.
The smell of steamed buns makes me want to vomit.
"Don't eat this."
Lu Sheng smiled, held up fifty coins in his right hand, and silently said "copy" in his heart.
There was a flash of white light, the copper coins disappeared, and a steaming pot of pig head meat appeared on the table.
He was so greedy a few days ago that he bought it for five hundred coins at Zuixianlou. At that time, he thought it tasted good, so he analyzed it.
"Just meat is not enough, there must be soup and noodles."
After thinking for a while, Lu Sheng repeated his old trick, flashing the white light a few times, and lost dozens of coins.
Lotus seed porridge and mutton braised noodles appeared on the table.
Remove the skin from the buns and throw the meat filling into an iron basin.
He ate the steamed buns, drank the noodle soup, and took a bite of the pork head with chopsticks. He felt that life could not be better than this.
After a stick of incense.
He touched his bulging belly and his eyes turned red.
Who knows how he has lived these years!
Only you know the sadness and sorrow, so put away these sentiments.
He moved his body, carried a basin full of mutton stuffing, and walked out of the yard.
There was a big tree in the courtyard, its leaves swaying in the wind.
By this time, the rain had stopped, and the air was moist and slightly cold.
A brown hemp rope was wrapped around the tree, and at the end was a white lamb with bent legs.
The hair is loose, with a small short horn on its head, and the sheep's eyes are clear. It seems to be very hungry, biting a piece of dead grass on the ground, biting it bit by bit, not daring to finish it all.
"Xiaobai, come on, come on, come on, it's time to eat."
Lu Sheng came over with a smile and carrying mutton stuffing.
Xiaobai tilted the sheep's head and saw at a glance his master, the man who insulted its sheep's character, grinning with white teeth, and it cried out "baa baa baa".
The voice was irritated and angry.
"Would you like to eat it!?" Lu Sheng brought the meat to the sheep.
The lamb turned its head, lowered its head, and crazily pushed Lu Sheng with its little horns that had not yet grown out.
Stretching out a palm to hold down the advancing lamb, he smiled and said:
"If you don't eat, just continue to be hungry."
After saying that, he left.
The little white sheep's face was aggrieved, and its stomach was flat with hunger. The black sheep's nose moved, and disgust flashed in the sheep's eyes.
…
Lu Sheng laughed, carrying two or three large steamers, and quietly closed the wooden door.
"You guys have been waiting for a long time!"
"Hey! After hard work, I gave birth to a brother!"
Someone smiled and waved their hands.
Everyone nodded, more or less in agreement.
"Shopkeeper Lu, why is there flesh foam on your lips? They are so shiny."
Someone remind me.
As soon as he said this, everyone focused their attention on Lu Sheng's lips.
Smiling, ignoring the looks of these people, Lu Sheng placed the steamer on the stove, wiped off the residue from his mouth, and said casually:
"I didn't eat in the morning, so when I was making steamed buns, I took two of last night's steamed buns to cushion my stomach."
As soon as these words came out, many people felt sorry for this young man from the bottom of their hearts.
Diligent, motivated, gentle, courteous and thrifty, where can you find such a good boy?
"Yue Sheng, there is a girl in my family..."
"Yue Sheng! His family's food is not as good as mine."
"Go away, my girl is no better than yours!!!"
A few people started to argue, and they were spitting and belittling each other.
I saw a man rolling up his sleeves and exposing his muscles. He seemed to be trying to reason with his fists instead of just talking.
Lu Sheng quickly stopped and said:
"Hey! Brothers, I have no intention of starting a family yet."
When the rightful owner spoke, these people also stopped, but they all stared at each other with their eyes.
A quarter of an hour passed, and it was getting dark outside.
Lu Sheng followed the list in the calligraphy book and started filling buns for these people one by one, with happy smiles on their faces.
It can be seen that they are doing it for themselves, for their hungry family members, or for the children who are waiting to be fed.
After being so busy that the sky turned completely dark, Lu Sheng wiped the sweat on his forehead.
This bit of hardship is nothing to him. The hardships he endured before are unforgettable to his heart.
He picked up the broom and began to clean up the melon seeds and some paper peelings on the ground. However, there was no need to set up stools. These people arranged the stools neatly for themselves before leaving.
This little detail made his heart warm.
Only when you have experienced suffering can you know how valuable kindness is.
After cleaning, he sat casually on a bench tiredly, and an idea came to his mind, whether to hire a servant.
It could save him a lot of time, but he denied it the next moment.
There were too many secrets about him, and he was worried.
A creak.
"Hey! Shopkeeper Lu, you cleaned so fast today, I don't even have anywhere to sit."
A sturdy man, with his nostrils pointed upward, held a thin stick in his hand with blood stains on it, and he smiled maliciously.
"Master Ma, you are here, please sit down, please sit down."
Lu Sheng smiled and moved a bench to this man, holding a purse in his hand.
"You kid, get on the road! You're much smarter than Tailor Wang next door."
With a satisfied smile, Lao Ma opened his purse and found a small piece of broken silver inside. By estimation, it was probably a few hundred coins.
He could go to Goulan to find a young lady to listen to some music again. He licked his dry lips and glanced around the shabby shop.
Seeing that there was still a drawer of steamed buns left, he directly brought them to the table and ate them.
Lu Sheng smiled gently with a hint of murderous intent flashing through his eyes.
"Master Ma, when you leave, take a few more and bring them back so that your sister-in-law and children can have a try."
Lao Ma stopped swallowing, wiped the meat juice from his mouth, and smiled:
"Yue Sheng! You're such a smart doll. You're so stable that you don't look like a doll at all."
In response to Lao Ma's words, Lu Sheng always kept a smile on his face.
After a long period of struggle, his edges were smoothed and he became rounder on the outside and square on the inside, just for the sake of better survival, until one day he no longer had to look at other people's faces to act.
I don’t know when this day will come...
After burping, Lao Ma said casually:
"By the way, Yuesheng, the security fee has increased by 50% next month. Please pay attention to your expenses."
Feeling a little inappropriate, he added:
"Don't think too much. I'm not that greedy. The leader of the gang has changed. His old man asked us. Those of us who work under him have to obey orders. Please understand."
After saying that, he patted Lu Sheng's shoulder and wiped it with his big, greasy hands.
Carrying the steamer and walking out of the shop, the wooden door opened wide. The night outside was dark, and a gust of cold wind blew in.
The wooden door swayed back and forth, making a creaking sound.
Having made up his mind, Lu Sheng felt depressed.
Even if this person takes away the buns, he also has to take away the steamer, and he has to make another one himself. Oh, it’s troublesome.
The next day, Lu's Steamed Bun Shop was closed.
A crowd gathered outside, pointing to the sign in front of the door.
It said that the bun shop was closed for some time for some reason.
Someone with good information directly said that the settlement fee charged by the Longhu Gang was too high and forced Yuesheng to leave.
Everyone was silent, no one dared to speak, and everyone dispersed in disappointment.
When Wang's Steamed Bun Shop in Xijiekou heard the news, the store celebrated happily, and shopkeeper Wang happily lowered the price by half a penny.
But this half penny is for buying a certain number of steamed buns, not just selling them.
Wang’s Steamed Bun Shop has returned to its former peak.
