158 Opening a Steamed Bun Shop
Qin Huai gestured for Chi Jia and Chi Bing to stop talking for the time being and walked out to welcome Little Ah Yu.
It was Little Ah Yu and her three brothers.
Wang Wulang saw Qin Huai waving at him from afar. “Qin Huai, so your family is so close to ours. What a coincidence.”
Their house was close to Nanhe Second Street, and Qin Huai was on Nanhe Main Street. They could walk there in less than 15 minutes.
“Big Brother Ah You!” Little Ah Yu flew towards Qin Huai like a butterfly.
Just as she was about to run over, Qin Huai took two steps forward and reached out to catch Little Ah Yu.
“Be careful.”
Little Ah Yu said, “With Big Brother Ah You around, Ah Yu won’t fall!”
When Little Ah Yu looked up, she immediately saw Chi Bing behind Qin Huai.
“Ah, it’s Uncle Blood Man!” Little Ah Yu blinked. “Are you ok now?”
Chi Bing did not expect to see his savior.
Back then, he was plotted against by an assassin and almost died. He thought that he would have reported to the King of Hell’s Palace long ago, but in the end, he woke up.
Later on, when he recalled, he remembered that a young girl had saved him.
However, when he returned to that place, the young girl was long gone.
Later on, he even went to ask around. However, Little Ah Yu and the others did not live in the county city to begin with, and there was no one in the county city who knew them.
Chi Bing returned empty-handed.
He thought that he would never see her again.
“Little Benefactor, why are you here?” Chi Bing explained under Chi Jia and Qin Huai’s puzzled gazes. “Little Young Master, this is the Little Benefactor I mentioned back then. If not for her, I might have died long ago.”
Chi Bing was an extremely meticulous person. Back then, he vaguely felt that the little girl had fed him something.
At that time, he felt that the pain in his body had been greatly alleviated.
Although he fainted later, it did not stop him from feeling the changes in his body.
He had long recovered, and even his internal energy had improved slightly.
It was definitely related to what he had drunk back then.
Chi Bing did not report this to Qin Huai seriously back then, mainly because the Little Master did not like to hear about that.
“What did you say? Little Sister Ah Yu saved you? My sister is so young. How can she save you?” Wang Wulang, Wang Liulang, and Wang Qilang asked.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with curiosity, as if they wanted to hear a story.
Chi Bing looked at Qin Huai.
Qin Huai shook his head secretly.
Chi Bing knew that the Young Master did not want him to tell these children about it.
Perhaps it was to protect the Little Benefactor.
Hence, Chi Bing said, “When I fainted in the county city, it was this Little Benefactor who gave me water.”
When Little Ah Yu felt that it was correct, she did not retort.
Wang Wulang’s eyes darted around. What water was it? Could it be Little Sister Ah Yu’s sweet water?
None of them had drunk it in a long time.
Because Grandma did not allow it.
Wang Wulang felt a wave of jealousy.
It was too detestable. They did not even get to drink it!
Wang Qilang was concerned about something else. “Uncle, did you find anything special after drinking Little Sister Ah Yu’s water?”
After saying that, Wang Qilang’s gaze clearly landed on Chi Bing’s crotch.
Chi Bing’s expression darkened as he thought of some scenes that he did not want to recall.
He gritted his teeth. “...No.”
It had to be none!
On the other hand, Qin Huai was deep in thought.
Back then, Chi Bing’s injuries were indeed especially serious. When he was moved back, even the doctor said that there was nothing he could do.
In the end, they waited, and his body gradually recovered. Later on, he became even more lively than before.
Qin Huai could not help but think of himself.
After arriving in town, Qin Huai had been to two medical centers. Both doctors said that his body was very healthy and there was nothing wrong with him.
There was a slight emotional problem, but it was not to the point of being depressed.
Qin Huai had already begun to suspect that the poison and illness in his body had been cured unknowingly.
Now that it was combined with the matter of the Chi Bing, no matter how slow Qin Huai was, he could understand that this was all thanks to Little Ah Yu.
Little Ah Yu had saved his life.
This understanding was only completely confirmed now.
Chi Bing also thought of this. “Little Young Master, since Little Benefactor is here, then Madam’s illness-”
...
Could he try using the water of his Little Benefactor?
However, before Chi Bing could say this, Qin Huai stopped him with a look.
The seven-year-old child’s eyes were as cold as ice.
Chi Bing lowered his head, not daring to continue.
The cold atmosphere was broken by Wang Wulang’s words. “Eh, Qin Huai, your gaze just now was not bad! How did you do it? Teach me!”
Chi Bing: “...”
Chi Jia: “...”
Qin Huai : “...”
With Little Ah Yu here, their discussion was temporarily suspended.
Qin Huai brought Little Ah Yu around his new house. The house Qin Huai had bought was a courtyard house with two entrances.
The Great Chang Nation had strict requirements for land, but it was relatively lax in terms of property. Ordinary commoners could live in houses that had less than two or less entrances.
...
If they wanted to live in a house with three entrances, someone in the family had to have a meritorious status. Otherwise, it would be considered a violation of the rules.
“Big Brother Ah You, your family didn’t plant anything. What are you going to plant?” Little Ah Yu looked at the bare branches in front of her and felt that it was a pity.
It would be a pity not to grow food in such a good land!
“I haven’t thought of what to plant yet,” Qin Huai asked her. “Do you have anything you want to eat? I’ll plant it here.”
As long as Little Ah Yu liked it, even if the Great Chang Nation did not have it, he would find it to plant.
Little Ah Yu said, “I want to eat steamed buns. Can I plant steamed bun trees?”
Qin Huai : “...”
[Hahahahahaha]
[Kid, there are no steamed bun trees in this world. There’s only barley and wheat. You can make steamed buns with it.]
Little Ah Yu immediately corrected herself. “We need barley and wheat. After planting them, they can be used to make steamed buns!”
Chi Jia wanted to stop Qin Huai before he left. “Young Master!”
The house was fine as it is, why are they going to plant wheat!
Wasn’t that funny?!
“Alright, I’ll listen to you,” Qin Huai said. “My family’s house will be planting wheat.”
“Yay! I must take a look in the future!”
“Okay.”
Chi Jia: “...”
He finally understood Young Master’s hidden meaning.
Little Ah Yu asked, “Big Brother Ah You, do you like steamed buns too?”
Qin Huai didn’t even blink. “Yes.”
“That’s great. Big Brother Ah You likes to eat steamed buns just like Ah Yu! Grandma even said that our family wants to open a steamed bun shop. In the future, Ah Yu can eat steamed buns every day!”
Seeing the little girl jumping with joy, Qin Huai could not help but smile. “Yes, it’s not bad.”
Only Wang Wulang felt like he’d been struck by a bolt from the blue.
“What?! Is our shop going to be made into a steamed bun shop?! Aren’t we going to sell candied haws?!”
He had already thought about how much money he could earn from selling candied haws in such a huge shop!
In the end, it became a steamed bun shop.
Most importantly, the shop had to be handed over to Third Uncle. Third Uncle and Third Aunt didn’t seem to know how to make steamed buns.
Would their shop really not collapse?
Wang Qilang said silently, “Can we sell some other buns while we’re at it?”
Compared to steamed buns, he naturally liked meat buns more.
Half a month later, the Wang Family’s steamed bun shop opened. There was a huge plaque at the entrance.
Beside the words “Wang Family Steamed Bun Shop”, there was the image of a little child holding a steamed bun and munching on it.
On a closer look, the child looked a little similar to Little Ah Yu. They both looked charmingly naive.
When the nearby shops saw this, they shook their heads. “It’s such a huge shop. They could sell anything, but they actually want to sell steamed buns. Aren’t they waiting to suffer a huge loss?!”
How much money could a steamed bun shop earn?
It was simply a waste of such a good shop.
On the day of the opening, a table was placed at the entrance of the shop. Little Ah Yu sat in front of the table.
She held a white steamed bun the size of her head and took a bite, her face filled with happiness.
When the passersby saw this, they could not help but swallow their saliva.
Wasn’t this just an ordinary steamed bun?
Why was this child eating so happily! Could there really be something different about it?
They would know after buying and eating.
