Chapter 29 Shaobing
We were busy until noon, but guests were still coming.

Su Yaoguang looked at the long queue and said to Zhou Wangshu beside him, "Go buy some food. Buy whatever you want. The money is in the box. You can take it yourself."

Zhou Wangshu looked at Su Yaoguang who was busy with work with a complicated expression: "You are so hungry that your stomach is rumbling, and you still have the energy to worry about whether I am hungry or not."

"Xiao Wangshu has already sacrificed a lot to help me. I told you I'd treat you to delicious food when I made money. Just buy whatever you like. I mean what I say."

"Okay, I'll go buy it." Zhou Wangshu took the money and left.

After walking a short distance, he turned around to look in the direction of Su Yaoguang and found that she was talking and laughing with the guests, but was not paying attention to him.

She really wasn't afraid that he would run away.

But then again, his indenture was in her hands. If he ran away, she could just report him to the authorities. Even if he fled to the ends of the earth, he would still be a fugitive slave.

Zhou Wangshu stood in front of the pancake stall and said to the owner, "Four large meat pancakes."

"One is three cents, four is twelve cents."

"Ten cents," Zhou Wangshu said with a straight face. "If they don't sell it to me, I'll go somewhere else. There's a place on the next street that sells sesame cakes much cheaper."

"Okay, okay, I'll sell it to you," the boss said with a pained look on his face. "Girl, you're really good at bargaining. You don't look very old, are you looking for a husband?"

Zhou Wangshu: “…”

The boss seemed oblivious to his stern expression. He pulled his son, who was grinning foolishly beside him, over and pointed at the big guy, saying, "My son, he's not bad looking, is he? Do you want to meet him?"

Zhou Wangshu curled his lips: "I'm here to buy sesame cakes, not to buy people. Also, I have a marriage."

"Okay, if you don't want to see each other, then don't. The little girl has a bad temper."

Zhou Wangshu paid the money, turned around with the sesame cake, and saw Xiao Yanci coming out of the steamed bun shop with two white flour steamed buns in his hand.

On one side was a fragrant sesame cake, and on the other side was a steamed bun without any meat. The two of them just looked at each other and then passed each other.

Zhou Wangshu's elbow hit Xiao Yanci, and with a bang, the steamed bun in Xiao Yanci's hand fell and rolled on the ground.

"My steamed bun! You..." Xiao Yanci glared at Zhou Wangshu.

Zhou Wangshu said lazily, "If you don't pick it up now, it will be eaten by a dog."

Xiao Yanci looked down and saw a dog swallowing a steamed bun in one gulp. Just as it was about to take a bite of the second bun, its mouth had already touched the bun. He hurriedly drove it away, but the dog was even more aggressive than him, barking at him.

Zhou Wangshu bit his sesame bun and watched Xiao Yanci being chased by a dog, his eyes full of interest.

Are all the villagers blind? Such a weak and useless person actually said he was better than him. In the whole village, only Su Yaoguang had good vision.

He walked towards Su Yaoguang with the pancake in his hand.

Xiao Yanci was being chased by a dog, and he ate the remaining steamed buns right in front of the dog. At this point, he didn't care whether it was dirty or not. He just knew that if he didn't eat it, he would lose to the dog. As for Jiang Yihui asking him to go out and buy steamed buns, he didn't remember it at all.

Zhou Wangshu rushed back to where he was just now and handed the pancake to Su Yaoguang's mouth: "Take a bite."

Su Yaoguang was busy, but she didn't refuse Zhou Wangshu's kindness. She was really hungry, the kind that was starving.

Perhaps in her past life, in order to take care of Xiao Yanci, her family's financial resources were limited, so she saved her own food rations for Xiao Yanci, which over time led to stomach problems. Now that she was fifteen years old again, her body was at its healthiest stage, and she didn't want to endure the pain of stomach problems again, so she had to eat and drink as needed.

"You sisters have such a good relationship," the guest said. "I also had a sister. Before we got married, we were very close and vowed to be best friends for life. But after we each got married, I had to take care of my husband and children, while she was tortured by a man. The next time we met, it was at her funeral. Look at me, I'm old, and seeing young and beautiful girls like you easily brings back memories." "Don't be sad, auntie. I believe your sister has become a star in the sky. She watches over you every day, blesses you, and makes sure you are safe and successful."

Zhou Wangshu curled his lips.

This little mouth was truly coaxing. If it were a few years ago, he might have truly believed the idea that deceased relatives transformed into stars to protect him. But now he didn't believe it. If she truly was still alive, she wouldn't have allowed him to be bullied like this. He knew he had to avenge himself, not rely on others, especially not the dead.

Before the next customer came in, Su Yaoguang finished the sesame seed cake Zhou Wangshu had given her. After finishing it, she choked a little. Zhou Wangshu then gave her some soy milk.

Soy milk and sesame cakes are so delicious.

Su Yaoguang hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time.

"I bought four, two for each person."

Su Yaoguang waved her hand: "That's enough for me. The remaining three are all yours. You are growing, so eat more."

Zhou Wangshu said as he ate the pancake, "Three cents each, it's not cheap."

"This is meat. Of course it's not cheap, but it's delicious. The price is very reasonable." Su Yaoguang said while putting makeup on the next customer, "Where did you buy it? We can buy from this store next time."

"Zhang's Shaobing Shop."

Su Yaoguang stopped what he was doing.

Her eyes were blank and she was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

She only came to her senses when the guest urged her impatiently.

She said in a dry voice, "It turns out that the sesame cakes at Zhang's sesame cake shop are so delicious!"

In her previous life, she had bought it for Xiao Yanci, but he had never thought of sharing a bite with her. Even if he only gave her a bite, she would be satisfied.

At that time, seeing him eating so happily, I eagerly bought him food every time. But one day, he said that the food was so disgusting that she treated him like a treasure, and asked if she could buy something edible instead of always giving him this kind of food.

Later she stopped buying.

Every time she passed by Zhang's Shaobing Shop, she would wonder why so many people lined up there if their Shaobing was so bad. These people must be really stupid and have a lot of money.

It turns out that she was the only fool from the beginning to the end.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Wangshu said, "Are you too tired? Next time I'll learn makeup from you, so I can help you."

Su Yaoguang sniffed and smiled at Zhou Wangshu: "I'm not tired. I'm very happy to see Wangshu eating so happily."

Zhou Wangshu muttered, "How foolish! Such an expensive sesame seed cake, yet you don't feel bad about it. You really are a fool."

He was testing her.

He wondered how much she could indulge him.

If he had known better, he could have bought two steamed buns for a penny and filled his stomach. He just wanted to know if she would blame him for wasting money.

The result was obvious: this was just a silly country girl, and she wouldn't have stopped him if he'd just gone to buy a roast chicken.

 I have guests today and tomorrow. In order to keep updating, I got up at five o'clock to finish the manuscript. How many little cuties are as pitiful as me?
