Chapter 117 Being Slandered

"Fortunately, we didn't eat too much yesterday, and we don't have any physical discomfort for the time being. If something goes wrong with our diet, I'm afraid we will lose all the hard work we have gained."

"If you don't make any money, have some health problems, or lose your job, aren't you cheating on us?"

"It's a good thing I didn't buy meat buns yesterday."

"It's really too much."

Seeing everyone's angry expressions, the second-degree monk of the Chen Wang family was confused.

"Is there any misunderstanding here? Although the meat in my meat buns is from the end of last year, it is bacon. It is smoked with fresh pork. This bacon is sold in Yuelai Restaurant in Fucheng. And it’s not cheap.”

Chen Yousheng on the side also stood up and explained: "Yes, my third sister-in-law sold a lot of this bacon to Yuelai Restaurant at the end of last year, and the retail price was two hundred cents per catty. If you don't believe me, you can feel free to ask. If we hadn't bought too much pork when making buns yesterday, we wouldn't have been willing to add more. Now, you don't know where you listened to other people's rumors and you didn't know clearly, so you are wronging us."

When the workers heard this, although some of them blushed, some continued to question.

"But people from your village told us just now that the meat you used was last year's meat, which was stale meat."

"Yes, yes. You all hold your own opinions, and we don't know who to believe."

"Let me tell you, we can still bring it from home. Even though it's cold at noon, it's better than eating stale meat and ruining our health."

"What's wrong? Aunt Wang, why haven't you sold out your steamed buns today?" At this moment, Chen Youzhou saw the people arguing at the door after work at Peanut Shop, and then walked over and asked curiously.

Because the peanut shop needs to fry peanuts, sometimes the pot of peanuts is not ready yet and it happens to be the end of the day. They usually finish the work first before getting off work.

When you get off work, you will calculate the time for eating and resting.

However, the villagers all return to work after eating.

Chen Yousheng saw Chen Youzhou coming, so he smiled and picked up a meat bun and handed it over, saying: "We just went out to sell buns, and I don't know who is causing trouble to prevent us from going out to do business, and then we were delayed for a while, so isn't this It’s late, but they seem to have already eaten.”

Chen Youzhou was hungry right after work, so he didn't shirk Chen Yousheng's offer, but he wasn't someone who took advantage, so he would naturally give him some money later.

After he took the buns, he said, "Have you eaten? Didn't they order buns from you yesterday? They were late, so what did they eat?"

After saying that, Chen Youzhou put the big bun into his mouth. After eating it, he was surprised to find that there was bacon in it, so he immediately said excitedly: "Aunt Wang, you have bacon in this bun? What about your meat buns?" Damn it, this bacon is not cheap. I remember that the bacon made by Yi's wife was sold to Yuelai Restaurant for 200 cents a pound, right? Your bacon buns only cost 5 cents each. , I can’t even come back.”

When Chen Youzhou finished speaking, he had finished one bun in several bites, and the other was not full yet. He was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy. Then he pointed at the meat buns and asked: "Are they still five cents for two today? The price has not increased. ?”

Mrs. Chen Wang smiled and said: "It costs five cents for two, and the price has not increased. How can the price increase on the second day just because the sales were good on the first day? We also see that everyone likes to eat it, and the bacon is eaten by ourselves anyway. , just cut some and add them in. But there are too many meat buns today, and the bacon buns will be there today, but they won’t be there tomorrow.”

Chen Youzhou heard this and immediately said: "Then give me three more, no, seven, and buy a few more for my father and the others to try. Otherwise, we won't be able to eat tomorrow."

The villagers who were with Chen Youzhou also gathered around at this time.

"Aunt Wang, give me two, too."

"I want two, too." "I want four."

"The steamed buns made by Aunt Wang have always been recognized as the most delicious buns in our village. Today we can still eat steamed buns made with bacon. There are four high and low ones. Aunt Wang, I want four. I might as well just eat the steamed buns at noon. , I won’t go home for lunch today.”

"I want four too. I've been eating wild vegetables every day at home these days, and I've run out of fat and water in my stomach. I won't go home to eat wild vegetables anymore. I'll buy four meat buns to eat."

"Haha... Tieshan, if you say that, you are not afraid that your wife will let you sleep on the floor at night."

Zhao Tieshan replied with a smile: "What are you afraid of? I have paid my monthly salary, and today I have to get four big meat buns to satisfy my craving. What's more, these are bacon buns worth 200 yuan per pound."

"Then instead of four, buy a few for the elderly, wife, and children to try."

Zhao Tieshan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's buy more. Aunt Wang, give me twelve. I want twelve big meat buns."

The workers around looked at the scene in front of them, and they didn't understand anything.

Some customers who were waiting for Chen Wang's meat buns immediately started buying them. If they were too late, they might be eaten up by their fellow villagers.

Some workers who had just listened to the slander felt very embarrassed.

There was no money in hand, so after eating, he hurried into the workshop to start work.

Some people who still had some money in their hands rushed to buy a few more. If they couldn't buy meat buns, they would buy vegetarian buns or steamed buns.

After eating them, comparing the two, I really felt that the buns made by the lady behind were the most delicious.

Several women in the workshop immediately gathered around and started mumbling.

"Just now I bought two more meat buns with the lady in the back, but let alone compare them with the lady in the front. The buns made by the lady in the back are indeed more delicious and have more meat than hers. "

"Stop talking, I originally ordered two meat buns from the lady in the back, but ended up buying the lady in front of me. Although I saved a copper, her buns only had a little bit of minced meat starch. Now I think about it. Just think about it and regret it.”

"Now it seems that the lady in front is not a good person. Look at what she just said. Now that I think about it, it must have been intentional."

"Didn't you hear what my aunt's son said, someone did something wrong when they went out? Don't think it must have been the aunt in front of them."

"Shh~~~ There is no evidence, so don't talk nonsense."

"Thinking about it, I know that the lady in front of me ran away as soon as she saw the lady behind her coming. She also deliberately walked on a small path, obviously because she was afraid that the lady behind her would tear her up."

"Stop talking, let's just wait until the lady behind comes here tomorrow to buy her buns. Now it seems that the lady in front is the most worried about her buns."

"That's right, that's right. Look at the buns made by the aunt at the back. People in her village dare to buy them to eat. So it's really no problem. Moreover, this aunt seems to be a careless person at first glance. She is honest and listens. If they say that the child who comes to sell steamed buns with her is still a child, then they will definitely not fool people. "

"Yeah."

"Okay, let's stop talking. Let's go for a walk and go to work to make money. I spent nine coppers today."
