Chapter 315: Buns

"You're still feeding them firewood?"

Zhang Xiaohua was speechless. She also went up the mountain to harvest firewood when she was a child. However, the eldest and second brothers followed each other and only gave him a small bundle of firewood to carry it. He still remembered the taste fresh.

"Yes, why would they spend another two cents to buy firewood in the teahouse?"

Ji Xiaohua said with a smile.

Seeing that there were not many pedestrians around the four sides, Zhang Xiaohua became very energetic and put the sword on the road, and smiled and said, "Then you take it. If you can, I will add another penny every day. However, if you can't, you will deduct one penny every day."

"Ah!!! It's true. Master, don't lie to me."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "How could you deceive you? Take it for me."

Ji Xiaohua stepped forward with ecstasy, grabbed the middle of the sword with his little hand and lifted it up, but the sword did not move at all on the ground. Ji Xiaohua was shocked and took the small package from her shoulders, walked to the edge of the sword, grabbed both sides of the sword with both hands and lifted it up hard. Unfortunately, even though he tried his best, his little face turned red, and the sword still didn't move.

Only then did Ji Xiaohua realize how innocent she is.

His tears were about to flow.

I feel extremely regretful, now I'm fine, I'm gone for a penny a day!

Then, he let go of his hand, picked up his small package, lowered his head and said depressedly: "Young master, you can't handle it, you can take it yourself."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at his appearance, laughed in her heart, bent down and easily picked up the long sword, and said, "Let's go, take me into the city."

Ji Xiaohua said weakly: "Yes, Master, please follow me."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Ji Xiaohua, don't care. I just joked about you. Now I officially announced that I will give you eleven cents a day."

"Ah? Really." Ji Xiaohua smiled happily and said, "Young Master is such a great person."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua frowned slightly and said, "Can you not call me Young Master? I said why did this sound so awkward?"

Ji Xiaohua said strangely: "Young Master, if you don't call you, what are you?"

Zhang Xiaohua also touched her head and was depressed. Yes, what did Ji Xiaohua call her?

"Forget it, just shout." Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand helplessly.

"Okay, Master, come with me."

After saying that, Ji Xiaohua happily led Zhang Xiaohua along the main road to Songning Town.

However, as soon as he entered the town, Zhang Xiaohua saw the fine sweat oozing from Ji Xiaohua's forehead. Zhang Xiaohua was very surprised. She had just walked a long way, so why did this child get so tired when he often walked?

While wondering, Ji Xiaohua stopped, wiped the sweat from her head, and turned around and asked, "Young Master, you're all in the city, what are you going to do?"

While speaking, a fragrance came from a bun shop next to him. The child's eyes couldn't help but squint and he spitted in secret.

"Ouch." Zhang Xiaohua understood instantly and couldn't help but secretly want to hit herself.

"That thing just now must be Ji Xiaohua's food ration today. I haven't eaten it yet. I'm just thinking about letting him have a meal at noon, but I didn't expect that he hadn't eaten it in the morning, so I guess he was hungry when he was sweating on his forehead."

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Is the first thing I do when I enter the city? Of course, it's time to eat. Well, I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Let's go, I'll treat you to buns."

After saying that, I walked to the bun shop first.

Although Ji Xiaohua is young, she has been away for a few years. At this time, she didn't know what Zhang Xiaohua thought. Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's back, she followed her with gratitude. Unfortunately, he didn't know that the young master in front of him was just a Xibei product, otherwise he would have taken him to the restaurant long ago.

The vendor selling buns was also a wink. When he saw Zhang Xiaohua's dressing, he quickly shouted: "Young master, do you want to eat some buns? Come and try it. I'm used to eating big fish and meat. Eating some of our vegetable buns will be good for the health."

After saying that, he looked at the dirty little table awkwardly, not knowing whether Zhang Xiaohua should be allowed to sit down. Zhang Xiaohua minded, and sat down with a slut. Ji Xiaohua followed him and stood beside Zhang Xiaohua. He didn't know whether he should do it or stand. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Sit down, Ji Xiaohua, don't be polite. Thank you for calling me a few times. I'll treat you to a bun today."

Ji Xiaohua did it timidly, far away from Zhang Xiaohua, sitting at one end of the bench. To be honest, it is one thing to do things with the young master, and it is another thing to accompany the young master to eat. I heard that there are rules for the wealthy families to eat. This is the first time I have a meal with a young master, and I still have meat buns that I have been greedy for a long time. Can I accidentally be careful?

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua didn't say much and said to the vendor: "Four vegetable buns and six meat buns."

The vendor said happily: "Haole, I'll give it to you right away."

After saying that, he took two trays from the top of two piles of tower-like steamers, picked them up and delivered them to the two. Zhang Xiaohua saw Ji Xiaohua staring at the fragrant meat buns, and she was about to flow down. She smiled and pushed the four vegetable buns in front of him. Ji Xiaohua's eyes were a little disappointed. She reluctantly glanced at the meat buns in front of Zhang Xiaohua, swallowed, and asked, "Young Master, you eat first."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Eat, let's eat together."

After saying that, he picked up a pair of chopsticks from the table. When Ji Xiaohua saw it, she quickly said, "Young Master, wait."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and looked at Ji Xiaohua strangely.

Ji Xiaohua took the chopsticks from Zhang Xiaohua's hand, skillfully picked up the tea from the table, and burned it a little, then handed it to Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua was a little helpless. Why is this young master not reliable at all?

Yes, when did Zhang Xiaohua eat so carefully?

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua pick up a meat bun, Ji Xiaohua quickly picked up chopsticks from the table, picked up a vegetable bun, and bit it down. The bun was just taken off the fire. Although the outside was cold, it was very hot inside. Ji Xiaohua had very little experience in eating buns, so she didn't know that it was so hot that her mouth kept sucking cold. Even so, he couldn't bear to spit out the buns that had reached his mouth.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at him, smiled, reached out and poured him a glass of water, and said, "Drink some water and it won't be hot."

Ji Xiaohua quickly stood up and muttered: "Young Master, how can you let you pour water?"

Zhang Xiaohua raised his hand and signaled him to sit down and handed him the water. Ji Xiaohua took it and took a sip. Then she drank it all. No, although he was boiling water in the tea shed, he didn't dare to drink the water casually. From morning until now, he was so busy that he hadn't drunk a sip of water yet. How could he not be thirsty?

While venting, Ji Xiaohua ate the vegetable buns and was about to eat a second one. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and pushed the meat buns beside him, saying, "Eat meat buns now."

Ji Xiaohua was stunned and didn't understand what was going on. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "You eat first, and talk while eating."

After getting the order to eat, Ji Xiaohua was still reserved. She picked up the meat bun and started eating it. Fortunately, she had the experience of eating vegetable buns just now, so she did not get burned by the meat buns.

Seeing his sweet food, Zhang Xiaohua said, "When I was a child, I ate meat buns for the first time, but my mouth was burned and I had diarrhea. Later, I heard that if the stomach and intestines do not eat meat for a long time, it is best to eat some vegetables first and then meat, so you will be asked to eat a meat bun first."

Ji Xiaohua suddenly realized, stuffed meat buns into her mouth, and muttered, "Young Master knows so much."

Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips and said nonsense. How can she not understand the experience she gained from diarrhea?

After Ji Xiaohua ate three meat buns, Zhang Xiaohua stopped him from eating them and said, "Okay, if you eat too much, your stomach will feel uncomfortable. The remaining buns are packed. It will not be too late to eat them when you are hungry."

Ji Xiaohua was overjoyed and quickly put away the remaining buns carefully. Seeing Ji Xiaohua's careful appearance, Zhang Xiaohua was very surprised and asked, "I'll eat it later, don't be so serious."

Ji Xiaohua said seriously with her face, "I'm already full, I want to take this back for my mother to eat."

With the words "mother", Zhang Xiaohua's nose felt sore again. She remembered that she was missing herself in that direction, or thought she had passed away long ago, and missed her mother sadly.

He waved his hand and said to the vendor, "My man, pack me two more trays of buns, one tray of dishes and one tray of meat."

Ji Xiaohua said strangely: "Young Master, you didn't eat any of them just now. Are you still waiting to eat on the road?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "This is for you to take it back to your mother."

"Ah?" Ji Xiaohua couldn't believe her ears and said, "Is this true?"

"Really, can I still lie to you?"

"This, this is forty cents, Master, are you so generous?"

"Ah? It costs forty quotas, I thought it was thirty-six quotas. Oh, this world is not old, forget it, I'll just go generously."

Zhang Xiaohua paid the bill, Ji Xiaohua packed the buns quickly and asked, "Young Master, it's time to do a good job next."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the things in his hand and smiled and said, "Don't worry, my business is easy to handle. Let's take the things in your hand back first. Let's talk about it."

"Okay, my mother probably didn't eat anything. I'm sending it back now, just right." Ji Xiaohua was overjoyed.

Ji Xiaohua's home is located in the south of Songning City. Although it is in the city, a dilapidated courtyard and a small house with air leakage everywhere are worse than Zhang Xiaohua's home in Guozhuang. Zhang Xiaohua did not enter the house, but stayed in the yard. He did not feel any discomfort. However, Ji Xiaohua refused to let him in, and only said that this was too slow to treat Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua's spiritual sense had already swept across the dilapidated house, and there was only a middle-aged woman with gray hair, nestled on the bed and coughing from time to time. Although she tried her best to endure it, how could she bear it? In Zhang Xiaohua's spiritual sense, it seemed that she saw the woman spitting out a trace of blood.

Zhang Xiaohua sighed and thought of her grandmother. Isn’t this what she was like back then?
