Chapter 36 Students First
Chen Yuan really didn't know about this.
His hands were still moving nimbly, but his ears perked up as he heard Grandpa Xu continue speaking.
"If you ask me, the steamed buns made by that young couple are much better than those at Old Chen's. They have thin skins, generous fillings, and are very filling. Especially their braised pork buns, they're absolutely amazing."
"Old Zhang, do you remember? We used to go out and buy braised pork buns every morning."
Grandpa Zhang took a bag of steamed buns from Chen Yuan and pointed to the fried dough stick pan.
"Give me six more fried dough sticks."
"Uncle Zhang, can you finish all this?"
"It's okay, I have a lot of family. My daughter brought her two kids back last night. They're both big eaters, so I was worried this wouldn't be enough."
After Grandpa Zhang finished speaking with a cheerful smile, he continued from where Old Xu left off.
"Yes, if you're talking about other steamed buns, I think they're just average. But their braised pork steamed buns are so delicious, they're full of flavor, and most importantly, even though they're so flavorful, they're not salty at all, which I find quite strange."
At this moment, Grandpa Xu looked smug.
"You don't know this, but the sauce they use is homemade, so they can control the saltiness. That's why their braised pork buns have become a family heirloom."
"How do you know about this family heirloom skill?"
"Isn't that obvious? I asked him!"
"Hahaha, you old Xu!"
The two of them each carried two large bags of things and left.
A fresh batch of fried dough sticks has just been fried.
There were quite a few more people queuing up.
Frying dough sticks takes time, so it's not as quick as making steamed buns.
However, everyone can understand, after all, who wouldn't want to eat freshly cooked food? In addition, most of these people are retired old men and women who have nothing else to offer and plenty of time.
Everyone can chat while standing in the queue without any delay.
Just at this time.
A pretty little girl with pigtails, a backpack, and wearing a middle school uniform came to the end of the line.
Judging from the style of her school uniform, she and the chubby Lin Zikang went to the same school.
The little girl stood at the end of the line, looking around curiously.
His face showed anxiety, and he seemed somewhat hesitant.
At this moment, several aunties in front of her saw what was happening and kindly inquired about it.
"Little girl, are you going to school?"
"Hey, aren't you Liu Huanhuan from Old Liu's family? Why are you only arriving now?"
Upon seeing a familiar face, Liu Huanhuan's face immediately fell.
"Grandma Zhang, I overslept this morning and didn't have time to cook, so my parents told me to eat out. But I didn't expect this restaurant to have such a long line. I'm hesitating whether to go somewhere else..."
Liu Huanhuan swallowed hard, looking pitiful, which immediately aroused the sympathy of several aunties.
Without saying a word, Grandma Zhang grabbed Liu Huanhuan's hand and led her to the front of the line, startling Liu Huanhuan.
"Grandma Zhang, what's wrong...?"
Grandma Zhang didn't turn her head, but spoke to the people in front of her in line.
"There's a student about to go to school. Let's be considerate and let the child buy first, okay?"
At this moment, Chen Yuan also noticed the two of them.
All eyes turned to Liu Huanhuan, making the young girl so embarrassed that she didn't dare to lift her head.
All the people in line had children, and their eyes were filled with affection as they looked at Liu Huanhuan.
Upon hearing this, without further ado, everyone stepped aside.
They all spoke at once.
"Yes, yes, let the child buy first, we'll wait, no rush."
"Child, don't be shy about stepping forward."
"This child is so pretty, just buy her. After you buy her, go to school quickly so you don't miss your classes."
Grandma Zhang dragged Liu Huanhuan to the front.
Her face turned bright red, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"I'd like two steamed buns and a soy milk."
"OK."
Chen Yuan quickly packed the items into a bag and handed it to her.
And he carefully gave instructions.
"If you come to buy again in the future, just go to the front of the line and you won't have to wait in line."
Liu Huanhuan felt a little embarrassed, but also very happy.
She looked up, wanting to express her gratitude to Chen Yuan.
Just then, they saw Chen Yuan take off his mask and wipe the sweat from his nose with a tissue.
Liu Huanhuan's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Yuan's face.
So handsome!
As the saying goes, a young girl's heart is always filled with poetry.
Middle school students have already developed an aesthetic sense and are at the age where they are just beginning to experience romantic feelings.
A handsome man like Chen Yuan, with a touch of melancholy and world-weariness, easily attracts the attention of these young girls.
Liu Huanhuan's face turned bright red, as if she had just thought of something.
He forgot to even say thank you, picked up his things, and left.
Chen Yuan put his mask back on and said to the aunt standing at the front.
"This little girl is quite shy."
Shy Liu Huanhuan had already run far away.
Arrived at school.
Sitting in the seat.
For some reason, her heart was still pounding.
Liu Huanhuan opened her soy milk, took a sip, and before she could even eat her steamed bun, she started her morning reading. However, she was somewhat absent-minded throughout the morning.
Liu Huanhuan's unusual behavior caught the attention of her deskmate.
"Huanhuan, what's wrong? You seem so absent-minded this morning. Did you forget your homework? Or did you forget to do it?"
Girls of this age often can't keep things to themselves. Liu Huanhuan had a very good relationship with her deskmate. After thinking for a moment, she said to her deskmate.
"I... Qi Yali, I'm telling you, I feel like I'm falling in love!"
"ah?!"
5 minutes later.
Qi Yali was stunned, her big eyes filled with big question marks.
"You mean that uncle who sells steamed buns is really handsome? Like a celebrity? That can't be right!"
"Why not? He's really handsome and very tall."
"I think you're exaggerating a bit. Are you under a lot of academic pressure lately and hallucinating? How could a middle-aged man selling steamed buns be handsome?"
"I'm telling the truth, how could I lie to you? He's really, really handsome. When he smiles at me, I feel like the flowers bloom and the sky brightens!"
Qi Yali: I think you've gone a little crazy.
Seeing Liu Huanhuan so engrossed in her fantasy, Qi Yali also became curious and wanted to know how handsome a steamed bun seller could be.
She offered, "How about this? Since our house isn't far from yours, I'll leave 10 minutes earlier tomorrow morning and we can buy breakfast together, okay?"
"Okay, okay!" Liu Huanhuan's face turned red again, and she said shyly, "After you see it, you'll definitely say he's handsome."
"What if he's not handsome?"
"Then I'll treat you tomorrow, is that alright?"
"Okay, then I can't be stingy. If he's really handsome, I'll treat you tomorrow."
"It's a deal!"
