In the early morning, people on the street come and go, starting a busy day.
Tian Miao sat at a table outside a shop, waiting for the boss to bring breakfast.
"Guest, here are your steamed buns and porridge. This side dish is for delivery." The boss's handsome face was a little tired, but he still greeted the guests with a smile.
"Thank you." Tian Miao picked up the chopsticks and started to enjoy breakfast.
This steamed bun shop is actually very simple, just a small storefront, and there are not even tables in it. The only three tables were placed by the door. But the store's business is surprisingly good.
Because the steamed buns made by this owner are white, big and fluffy, the key price is still very affordable. There are many people in the whole town who like to come here early in the morning to buy steamed buns and eat them back. Several restaurants in the town also signed long-term supply contracts with their bosses. The boss is handsome and handsome, and is called Mantou Xishi by many people.
Tian Miao slowly ate the steamed bun and drank the white porridge, and exclaimed in his heart, this steamed bun is really well done. No wonder business is so good every day.
No one forgot the real name of Mantou Xi Shi, only that her mother-in-law called her Hui Niang. Speaking of Hui Niang's mother-in-law, many people's expressions changed, and then sighed, how could such a diligent and gentle person meet such a harsh mother-in-law. Hui Niang is diligent and virtuous, and can make steamed buns to make money. The household is all earned by Hui Niang, but her mother-in-law has never given her a good face.
Because Hui Niang has not yet given birth. And Hui Niang's husband, who has been studying hard all the time, was admitted as a scholar a few years ago, and is preparing to continue the examination. As a result, he fell ill and has been bedridden for half a year. This made the mother-in-law's face even more ugly.
Tian Miao ate the steamed buns slowly, watching many people queuing up to buy steamed buns, watching Hui Niang busy from morning to noon, so she had time to take a break and drink a sip of water.
"Hui Niang!" An old woman with a cold expression came from the back of the store, her tone impatient, "Is it sold out? Hurry up and cook when it's sold out. Go buy an old hen today and make soup for Yuliang to make up for it."
"Yes, mother." Hui Niang bowed her head and responded.
"What about the money sold today?" The old woman said as she opened the small drawer, took out all the money in it, and then came over and gave it to Hui Niang, "Are these enough to buy hens? Give me back more."
"Yes, mother." Hui Niang still bowed her head and responded softly.
"Hurry up and clean up this place. I bought it and came back to cook." After the old woman said this, she turned around and went back to the backyard.
Hui Niang still responded in a soft voice, and then started to clean up the shop, but when she turned around and saw Tian Miao was still eating, she was a little surprised: "Ah, customer, are you still there?"
"Yeah." Tian Miao smiled, "I'm a little slow to eat, I'm sorry."
"It's alright, it's alright. Have you finished your meal? What else do you need? I have a few steamed buns. If you're not full, I'll give it to you." Huiniang said with a smile. It was the first time she had seen such a woman who could eat. However, it is a blessing to be able to eat.
"But I have no money." Tian Miao frowned slightly, a little annoyed.
"I don't charge you, I'll give it to you." Hui Niang quickly took out the steamed buns she left behind from the steamer.
"What is your wish?" Tian Miao looked at the steamed buns that Hui Niang put on the plate, and did not eat, but looked at Hui Niang's delicate face and asked softly.
"What?" Hui Niang was stunned.
"What is your wish?" Tian Miao asked again.
