Chapter 99 The Baozi Shop Opens

Yu Ying was also a lively person, chatting with the woman next to her.

Cheng Huai hugged Jiang Miao and sat down in the car, went to pay the fare, and then came back and sat next to Jiang Miao.

The rough man still had a cold and cold expression in front of outsiders, but his eyes became softer when he met Jiang Miao's gaze.

When they arrived at the bun shop, Cheng Huai went to unlock it, and Yu Ying and Jiang Miao took the two children out of the basket.

"Mom, you sit down for a while and I'll set up the stall."

Jiang Miao went to the shop to move a long board. Cheng Huai came over, picked up the board, and carried it outside.

After putting the basket away, Jiang Miao took the money bag handed over by Cheng Huai. When she saw the little boy beside her, she smiled and waved her hand gently, "Come here, Xiaoxu."

The little boy came over immediately, his eyes a little expectant: "Auntie, do you still want me to call you today?"

Jiang Miao nodded and touched his head: "Well, I'll call you vegetarian stuffed buns for one penny and tofu buns for two cents. Wait until there are more people."

Xiaoxu nodded seriously, "I understand, Auntie."

Jiang Miao packed a few steamed buns and stuffed them into Cheng Huai's hand, "Cheng Huai, give these to the second owner of the inn. He gave us snails last time and bought two kilograms of pork when he came back."

"Okay." Cheng Huai nodded in agreement, turned around and went to the shop to get a stool for Jiang Miao and Xiao Xu to sit on.

Yu Ying was afraid that Dabao and Xiaobao would run away, so he put the two of them in the basket as usual, looked around the shop, and soon found flour and other seasonings in the cabinet next to them.

"Miao Yatou, are you making meat buns this morning?" Yu Ying asked while standing at the door.

Jiang Miao packed the buns and handed them out. She turned around and said, "Well, to make meat buns, I've asked Cheng Huai to buy pork."

"Okay, let me make the flour first." Yu Ying turned around and went back to the shop.

Soon Cheng Huai came back with some meat and two bunches of candied haws in his hand.

He handed it to Jiang Miao, took the meat to the shop, and continued to come out to help pack the buns.

A hundred or so steamed buns won't last long. Jiang Miao stood there for a while and then went in to knead the dough and mix the fillings with Yu Ying. Cheng Huai sat on a stool to greet him.

The dough was placed next to the stove to ferment faster, and Yu Ying went to the back to get firewood to burn it.

When the two children saw the red candied haws in Jiang Miao's hand, they called out "Mother" several times in anticipation.

Jiang Miao took it and licked it for them, then smiled and pinched the cheeks of the two soft dumplings.

Tasting the sweetness, Dabao and Xiaobao looked a little excited.

Jiang Miao made a shushing gesture towards them. Thinking that eating too much would be bad for her teeth, she whispered: "You can't eat any more, or you won't have to eat anymore."

As he said that, he put the candied haws in a place where the two of them couldn't see it.

Dabao and Xiaobao silently looked away, pursed their lips and stopped shouting. They all knew that delicious food should be saved and eaten slowly.

Breast milk used to be like this too.

After mixing the stuffing, Jiang Miao took water out for Cheng Huai to drink, and gave another bunch of candied haws to Xiao Xu beside him.

Xiaoxu didn't pick it up at first. He glanced at Cheng Huai who was a little serious, then he took it carefully, raised his head and said obediently: "Thank you, Auntie."

"No thanks." There were not many people at the moment, so Jiang Miao stood on the side and talked to Cheng Huai, "Why did you buy candied haws?"

"I haven't bought it for you." The rough man replied honestly, looking at her with bright eyes, "Is it delicious? If it is delicious, I will buy it for you next time."

The corners of Jiang Miao's lips raised slightly, "It's delicious. I left half of it for you. I picked it out from Dabao and Xiaobao."

After holding her hand and warming it in his arms, Cheng Huai urged her in, "Go to the house to warm yourself by the fire. Call me in later when you're kneading the dough."

As the number of people gradually increased, Jiang Miao took the drinking bowl in and signaled to Xiao Xu that she could shout.

Xiaoxu ate half of the candied haws, but soon stopped eating. Instead, he shouted at the top of his voice, "We are selling steamed buns, big and delicious steamed buns."

Yu Ying had already started burning firewood in the house, and Jiang Miao put the fermented dough into a wooden basin and kneaded it. But after a while, Xiao Xu ran in and said, "Aunt, uncle said he wanted to come in and knead the dough."

Seeing Jiang Miao struggling to knead the dough, Yu Ying stood up with a smile and said, "Girl Miao, I'll go out and replace Cheng Huai and ask him to come in and do it."

Soon Cheng Huai came in, took over the work from Jiang Miao, and asked her to watch the fire.

The rough man was very strong and could roll out the dough neatly. Jiang Miao watched the fire while kneading the buns, and looked outside from time to time.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Cheng Huai whispered: "Don't worry, Mom used to sell steamed buns a lot."

Yu Ying's ability to deal with others is better than theirs, and she is even better at selling steamed buns.

Only then did Jiang Miao feel relieved. She pinched two baskets of steamed buns and looked to the side. The big baby and the little baby were about to fall asleep in the basket.

She reached out and poked the rough man's arm, "Mr., the baby is about to fall asleep."

Cheng Huai put down what he was doing and said, "I'll take them to sleep in the back."

The last time he worked on the stove, he and Li Dahu repaired the roof of the small house behind, cleaned the house, and put a small bed in it.

Jiang Miao washed her hands and said, "I'll buy a thick mattress. You watch the fire." It's cold now, and it's easy to catch a cold under a thin quilt.

"Don't go far, there is a mattress seller nearby." Cheng Huai turned around and said.

"Okay." Jiang Miao nodded and went out, and also said something to Yu Ying.

After buying the mattresses and covering them for the two children, Jiang Miao wrapped the remaining buns. The first two steamed buns were already cooked.

Holding a wet cloth to insulate the heat, Cheng Huai took out the hot buns and asked Xiao Xu to add a sentence about selling meat buns.

After doing this, the two went out to sell steamed buns for Yu Ying. Yu Ying watched the fire inside and went to the house to look after the children after a while.

With Xiao Xu shouting from the side and the large number of regular customers, the buns were sold out quickly, and the last two baskets of buns didn't take long to sell out.

Jiang Miao gave Xiaoxu a meat bun as usual, but when she gave him the money, he didn't ask for it and said he had eaten candied haws.

Tanghulu cost just two cents, and he calculated it in his heart.

Jiang Miao glanced at Cheng Huai helplessly, then stretched out her hand to touch Xiao Xu's head, "Then you can come back to Auntie's house later tomorrow to help shout. Don't come too early."

Xiaoxu nodded and ran home.

After the buns were sold out, Cheng Huai carried the steamer outside into the house and came out to carry the board.

Yu Ying helped put things away and then turned off the stove fire.

The two children were not awake yet. Yu Ying was looking at the shop. Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai went shopping first, and stopped by to ask the bun seller what he thought.

Although I was busy this morning, I was obviously still a little busy. Plus, I have two children, so I have to spare some time to take care of them.

First he went to buy fifty kilograms of flour, as well as oil, salt and other seasonings. Cheng Huai was responsible for getting the things, while Jiang Miao followed and negotiated and paid.

On the way back after shopping, Jiang Miao looked towards the shop selling steamed buns and saw a few sleazy middle-aged men surrounding the steamed bun stall.

I didn’t buy the buns, obviously I was looking for trouble.
