Chapter 15 Clarifying the Reasons
Wang Xiulan murmured "oh oh oh" for a while, then asked again.
"Why didn't your dad's steamed eggs taste good?"
The little guy tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then said.
"Dad's steamed eggs are delicious too, but Grandma's steamed eggs are the absolute best, the most delicious!"
This melted Wang Xiulan's heart, and she quickly said...
"When are you coming back? When you come back, Grandma will make you steamed eggs. We'll eat them every day, okay?"
"Okay~"
Taking advantage of this break, Chen Yuan said.
"Mom, we went back home this weekend. It's been a long time since we've been home. How have you and Dad been feeling?"
"It's alright, your dad and I are in good health, don't worry about us."
"understood."
"Son, is your wife coming back with you?"
"She's not coming back. She said she's been busy lately, she found a new job and is very busy."
Wang Xiulan nodded and said with considerable understanding.
"Okay, it's a good thing that young people have jobs. We can't hinder their progress. If they don't want to come back, they don't have to."
"Yes, I'm bringing another girl along this time, in addition to Youyou."
"What?!"
This startled the elderly couple.
Fearing his son would make a mistake, Chen Da's expression immediately turned serious, and he warned him.
"What girl? Let me tell you, you're a married man, so you absolutely can't have any issues with your personal life."
Chen Yuan said helplessly, "Dad, what are you thinking? Do you remember that really pretty girl named Su Qingxue? She was your student and came to our house for tutoring several times."
After thinking about it carefully, Chen Da actually remembered such a person.
"Su Qingxue, I remember, I remember! That girl is really beautiful, and she's also good at studying and works hard. It's been so many years since I've seen her. How did you get in touch with her?"
"I ran into her at work, but I didn't recognize her. However, she recognized me and said she wanted to come and see you this weekend."
"Okay, okay, okay."
After hanging up the phone.
Chen Yuan then coaxed his daughter to sleep.
I went to the market the next morning.
Chen Yuan asked for about twice the amount of everything he had yesterday.
It can make about 410 buns.
Last night, after Lin Zikang, the chubby boy, finished his evening self-study session, he sent him a message.
Boss, could you please prepare 32 steamed buns for me tomorrow morning?
Please divide the buns into portions of 8, 4, 3, 3, 6, 2, 4, 4, 2. Insulated bags or styrofoam boxes would be even better! We won't eat until after our early class, and the buns will be a bit cold by then.
Of course, it's okay if you don't have one.
Thank you, boss!
The chubby boy was surprisingly polite.
Chen Yuan thought for a moment. High school students have limited time and heavy workloads.
It's understandable that he wanted something hot, so he went and bought a stack of aluminum foil insulated food bags.
That way you won't feel cold.
Besides the chubby boy, Su Qingxue also sent a message.
[Senior, I have something to do this morning and might be a little late. Could you wait for me a bit? I'd like 16 steamed buns. Could you pack them into two bags for me to take to the student council members? Thank you for your help.]
Apart from these two.
The steamed buns sold out very quickly yesterday.
There were still quite a few steamed buns left when the two female office workers arrived on their first day.
When I came yesterday, there were basically only a few left.
Moreover, these are all repeat customers, and they buy quite a lot, so 200 is clearly not enough to meet the demand.
So Chen Yuan took a bold step and decided to make 400 steamed buns.
If you really can't sell them all, you can keep them for yourself.
In short, it won't be a waste.
The key thing is that he wants the extra reward for that mission.
The first and second people to arrive in the morning are always Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Xu.
The two seemed to be in a competition, neither willing to give in.
One is called "Old Zhang Who Never Dies," and the other is called "Old Xu the Big-Tailed Wolf."
This is the most "intimate" way they address each other.
Every time we buy steamed buns, we end up arguing.
Then one of them left carrying a bag of steamed buns.
Through casual conversation, Chen Yuan learned why many people would quickly avoid him as soon as they saw his sign.
The reason is that the previous mother was a "warrior of the old neighborhood".
Public statements include the following.
"You'll be punished for eating meat; you'll go to hell! Have some decency in your speech!"
"My son was born a vegetarian; he drinks rice water every day now, and look how healthy he is!"
"You should all eat less meat, it's such a waste! My vegan diet is really good for your health, and eating it is even good for your health!"
"Your son is just eating too much meat and is getting a sore throat. He should eat more of my vegetarian food, and it will definitely help."
This person is a bit obsessed, which scared many mothers in the neighborhood into avoiding him.
After all, everyone knows that his son is as thin as a stray dog, with a sallow complexion and pale lips, and is far from being "robust".
The key is that this young woman is exceptionally eloquent and fearless when she starts arguing; even some sharp-tongued old ladies might not be able to out-argue her.
Later, she established her status as the "warrior" of the neighborhood through a verbal battle.
Of course, the glory didn't last long.
The breakfast shop managed to stay afloat for a few days.
The story ended with this war god burdened with debt.
This is why many people in the neighborhood quickly avoid this sign when they see it.
After understanding this reason.
Chen Yuan was quite helpless; there was nothing he could do, as he didn't have enough money on hand right now.
I'd like to change to a better storefront, but I guess that's not going to happen. I'll just use it as it is for now.
I'll definitely change it when I have the money!
And it has to be changed immediately!
Chen Yuan was selling steamed buns while daydreaming.
On the other side, several women, around fifty or sixty years old, walked out of the residential area.
The leader looked to be the oldest, with a head of silver hair, and quite fashionable.
Although she is old, she is still quite nimble and moves very quickly and energetically.
"Hurry up, hurry up! If you go too late, this steamed bun shop will be sold out. I overslept yesterday and missed out. You guys need to hurry, there will definitely be even more people today!"
An older woman in a red dress behind her said this.
"When did a steamed bun shop open at the entrance of the community? I didn't know that. I haven't heard any firecrackers these past few days either."
The silver-haired auntie said, "It's that vegan breakfast shop from before."
As soon as he finished speaking, the aunties behind him exclaimed "Ah!" in unison.
"No, no, I'm not going. That young wife is really strange."
"I'm not going. I can't live without meat, and I won't even look at this fast food restaurant."
"Why did that young woman switch to selling steamed buns? Purely vegetarian buns, can they even taste good?"
"I'm not going either. Last time, that young woman berated the old lady in Building 9 so badly she ended up in the hospital. With the ambulance siren wailing, who would dare go?"
