The business of Mugen's Steamed Bun Shop has stabilized, and it can be said to have a small reputation in the neighborhood. In addition to the endless stream of home robot babysitters who come to purchase every day, there are actually many human guests who come to the door themselves.
"The skin of the buns in this bun shop is very hard. It's very good to be used as a molar stick. My baby can eat a bun for two days as long as he is given a bun."
"Well, one of my husband's teeth had a cavity earlier. Because of the special structure of the tooth, he had to go to another planet for surgery. He ate a bun that day, and the tooth actually fell out! No, he wants to I'll buy a few more buns to deal with other cavities!" Customer B echoed.
"..." This is the Alpha robot making steamed buns. Hearing their words, the manipulator who was mixing noodles stopped for a while, and the dim light screen looked at the noodles he was mixing, briefly stuck, and then—
He immediately went to contact the babysitter robot at the nearby dentist's office.
Therefore, in addition to the nearby residents, the buns of the Mugen family are now exported to major local dental clinics (≧▽≦)/Since the buyers of the dental clinics only buy the buns for grinding their teeth, under the wise guidance of Alpha, The stuffing of buns sold to the dentist's clinic decreased day by day, and finally nothing was put in, and the buns turned into steamed buns.
Not to mention, it sells pretty well.
Turning harm into profit, keenly discovering business opportunities, and changing business ideas in a timely manner according to customer needs, Uncle Alpha is really great!
"Uncle Alpha, Uncle Pai, I'm back!" As usual, Mugan and Sigma trot home.
"I'm back." Sigmar also greeted. Next, Mugan took a shower, Sigmar washed his hands, and the two of them worked separately.
"Sigma is going to military training with Mugan tomorrow." After washing his hands, Sigma jumped onto the table lightly with his hands, pulled out the charging plug from the invisible hidden plate on the table, and put himself on it: " Get your luggage ready."
"What—" Hearing this, Uncle Alpha turned around dangerously, and with the movement, snow-white flour rustled from his body.
"You sell buns at home, Sigma and Morgan go to military training." Sigma repeated it obediently, although his tone was flat, but there were always some little-known little ones hidden in it, by former companions, today's elders - Alphabet Robot They caught it!
A dangerous red light flashed from Alpha's dim light screen, and the speed was too fast to cover the ears. Sigma, who was quietly charging on the table, was caught by Ipsilon, Pi, Beta, and Eta coming from four directions. Stopped, Alpha walked slowly from the chopping board and ruthlessly pulled out his charging plug.
"Sigma can't go, he's out of power," Alpha said very calmly to Mugan during dinner.
"Hey?! It was fine in the afternoon!" Mugen stood up in surprise.
"Don't stand up when you're eating, sit down and continue eating." Signaling Mugen to observe table manners, Alpha continued to explain: "He plugged in the wrong plug when he was charging, and the result was a short circuit. Ipsilon will take him to repair it tomorrow. ."
"Ah? What about tomorrow's military training?" Sitting upright at the dining table, Mugen was a little worried.
"It doesn't matter, I'll accompany you in disguise as Sigma."
At this point, Uncle Alpha finally revealed his true intentions!
Look at Uncle Alpha, who is serious and poised in front of him, and imagine the innocent and lively Sigma, who has no legs and buttocks—
Mugan: "( ⊙ o ⊙) Huh?"
Imagination is incompetent!
"However, I originally planned to take Sigma and Uncle. Dobby didn't have a robot, so I thought Uncle could go there, help Dobby at the right time, and train Sigma by the way." Speaking of his difficulties, Mugan looked at Uncle Alpha again.
Alpha: Completely unexpected answer!
Raising his chin, Alpha stretched out the robotic hand, and he gave a thumbs up: "No problem, I'll fix Sigma tonight, and I'll make sure he can get up and go to military training with you tomorrow."
Mugen: "Hey? Didn't it say that I had to go outside to repair it tomorrow?"
As if not hearing Mugan's question, Alpha had already left the table.
"Then, I'm going to prepare military training items now!" He, he was acting stupid!
"Muggan, eat an extra steak, this is Beta going to the Good and Big Meat Steak House to line up to buy it." The fingers were too thick to use human cutlery, so Robot A pushed the plate containing the steak towards Muggan.
"But, isn't the good and big meat steak house on the other side of Bailu Xing?" Looking at the huge steak on the plate, Mugen was stunned.
As the most famous butcher shop on the planet, this shop is advertised everywhere. Muggan has heard more than once from students in the same department that he wants to eat once, but because the meat shop is too far away, he can only go there during the holidays.
"Beta, run very fast." Sitting opposite Mugan with an electronic newspaper, Beta's cold voice came from behind the newspaper.
I looked at the newspaper that had not been turned over for a long time, and then looked at the steak in front of me. The steak in the steak house is very popular. Basically, it is sold out within an hour of being out of the pot. When he came back from school in the evening, although the steak was not cold, the taste had dissipated and it became unpalatable.
This is a subtle change that a robot cannot detect.
However, thinking of the most arrogant and indifferent Uncle Beta, who left early in the morning, lined up with a group of nanny robots to buy steaks, and rushed back quickly...
He inserted a piece of steak and took a big bite, chewing and swallowing, and a big smile bloomed on Mugen's face.
"It's very delicious!" Mugan gave a great gesture to the Beta robot, who pretended to be reading the newspaper.
Beta then put the disguised newspaper on the table: "There is still a bag in the warmer. I will take it to school tomorrow to eat with my classmates."
When educating Muggan on human common sense, the robots also learned a lot of ways to "be human": for example, sharing your own food with classmates often can make the relationship between classmates more harmonious.
Even if he is as indifferent as Beta, he has mastered a lot of common sense in the human world. In order to prevent Mugan from being bullied at school and to have a better relationship with his classmates, he also silently did a lot of things in his own way.
"However, I think Uncle Beta makes steaks more delicious. The steaks in this shop are not very neatly cut. It should be because the chefs are not strong enough." Mugen added a little while eating steaks.
Even if Uncle Beta is very powerful and runs very fast, for a robot, running such a long distance always makes him feel that the distance is too far, and the speed of wear and tear of the body will increase. Mugan didn't want Uncle Beta to work too hard for him.
"Then I won't go to that store to buy steaks in the future, I'll make them myself." Mugan's wishes were given priority. Beta immediately took the bait and put away the newspaper. He was ready to invade the brain of the owner of the big steak shop. See if there is a category for recipes.
Unable to see Uncle Beta's hard drive activity, Mugen nibbled at the steak and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then came the next day, Muggan went to military training.
When Mugan woke up, he saw Alpha sitting at the head of his bed.
"Uh... Did I oversleep?" As long as Uncle Alpha and the others were there, Mugan was safe, so he wasn't surprised. Mugan's first thought was: Did he oversleep
"No, there is still one hour and forty minutes before the meeting time. It will take one hour and thirty minutes to walk to the school, five minutes to wash, and five minutes to sleep." Knowing Mugan's activities well, Alpha is a little bit. Don't panic.
Looking at Uncle Alpha who had put on the necklace early in the morning, Mugen understood: he knew he could go to military training, Uncle Alpha he...
A little impatient, right? I got up so much earlier than usual because I was so happy.
"I really want to go to military training! I'll get up too!" A carp jumped up from the bed and put the chick made of Olly's fluffy from the quilt onto the pillow. Mugan turned Sigma on.
"Sigma, get up, we're going!"
Saying goodbye to the other robots left behind, Mugan went to military training with his uncle and Sigma.
"The business of Baozipu must be done well, and the prescribed number of buns must be sold out every day. When I get back, I can start the research on new fillings." Before leaving, as the parent, Alpha once again told the left-behind robot.
"As ordered." As the robot in charge when Alpha was away, Beta solemnly promised.
"I'll take care of Mugan and Sigma." Alpha also made his promise.
A group of robots exchanged a signal that only they themselves understood, and then left, and opened a store.
Without seeing the shape of their robots, and hearing only the sound, people must have thought this was happening in a real human home.
This was the first time Alpha went to school with Mugan.
The planet is very safe, and Alpha has never walked this road with Mugan again after taking the exam with Mugan and Olivia.
However, this route to school was planned by him and several other robots. The distance is the closest, the scenery is pleasant, and most importantly, it is very safe. He is no stranger to this road Alpha.
but-
"Muggan, good morning!" As usual, the pastry shop was the first to open. I don't know if you still remember the pastry shop that Mugan met when he went to report on the first day. The confused pastry shop owner is now quite familiar with Mugan, and he will take the initiative to say hello to Mugan every morning.
"Mr. Tony, good morning!" Mugan also smiled and greeted the pastry shop owner.
"Mr. Tony, good morning." Standing beside his brother's leg, Sigma also greeted.
"Sigma is still so cute!" Touching Sigma's head, Boss Tony took a tube of robot energy from his arms and put it in Sigma's hand.
"It's strawberry-flavored liquid energy, and it's all the rage among robots right now! Does Sigma like strawberries?"
"Like it!" Sigma said loudly, then took the power tube bluntly, and carefully stuffed it under the belly.
"..." This is the Alpha of the onlookers.
"Muggan left earlier than usual today! Is this going to school?" Greeting every morning, Boss Tony naturally knew that Muggan was a student at Imperial College.
"No, today is the day to go to military training. The next three months will be military training. I can't say hello to Mr. Tony in the morning."
"Ah... I haven't seen little Mugen for three months..." Hearing this, Boss Tony showed a hint of disappointment on his face, but he quickly got busy again. He took out a big box and filled a big box with the most expensive dim sum from the store. Boss Tony ran out from behind the counter with the box.
"Military training is very strict. It will not be good if you delay your schooling. This is the snack I just made today. Bring it to eat with your classmates. Don't forget to give some to the instructor, so that he will not be too strict with you and Sigma. "
"Secretly, the professors at Imperial College like my dim sum very much~ I often queue up to buy it and can't buy it! This is a good way to bribe!" With his right hand covering his mouth, Boss Tony quietly refused to push him. Muggen Road.
"Thank you very much, this is the bun for the return gift." Hearing the word bribery, Alpha's dim screen flashed, and he stood up from behind Mugen very politely. He bent down and took the heavy box in Tony's hand. After putting away the box, he also put a big box on his side as a return gift to Boss Tony.
"Hey? This is—" Why didn't you notice such a tall robot just now
"Mr. Tony, this is my uncle Alpha. In the box are the buns I gave you before. My family is an open bun shop!" Boss Tony was surprised, and Mugen introduced in time.
When he opened the box and saw four big white buns inside, Tony stiffened.
A few days ago, when Mugen gave him the bun he made himself, he accidentally tasted it when he got home, and it was tough...
Not wanting to hit this cute teenager, Tony Boss didn't throw away the buns that couldn't be chewed, but put the buns in the refrigerator. Now I have received four more buns, which are—
So this is the bun bought by Mugen's bun shop? With such hard buns, the business of Mugen's family must be very bad...
So, Tony raised his head again with sympathy in his eyes.
"In the future, put the information in your store to me, and also put some buns here, and I'll help you advertise." Tony patted his thin chest with loyalty enough: "It's not me blowing it! I The business of this shop is very good, there are a lot of people queuing up every day to buy dim sum that can’t be bought! The buns will be sold by me!”
When he said the last sentence, Tony actually felt a little guilty in his heart, but then he thought: If it really can't be sold, just tell the customer, sell buns and give away snacks, how can you sell it
Thinking of this, Tony's chest clapped.
"Then please~(≧▽≦)/~" The uncles' steamed buns business is very hard, it would be best if there are multiple opportunities, but Mugan immediately gave Tony a big hug.
Leaving Beta's contact information to Boss Tony, Mugan said goodbye to Boss Tony and his pastry shop.
Before leaving, Tony's boss also gave Alpha a special gift - apple-flavored liquid energy.
Looking at the green energy liquid in the sun, Alpha was stunned, and after a while he put away the gift.
Along the way, following Morgan and Sigmar, Alpha got to know the proprietress of the clothing store, the mother-in-law of the cold drink shop, the young couple in the fast food restaurant... There are many, many human beings, and everyone is very friendly. When they learned that Morgan was going to military training, they All kinds of gifts were given, not only Sigma, but even Alpha, who met for the first time, also got a gift of his own.
Alpha's empty personal space instantly plumped up a lot.
"White Dew Star is really a good planet! Uncle Alpha and the others really made the right choice!" He heard Mugen happily say to Sigma.
"Yeah!" Sigma nodded vigorously.
Um…
In his heart, Alpha also nodded quietly.
The people here are really nice! he thought to himself.
