my ancient fool

Chapter 318

Just then the old man's daughter-in-law came with a small basket.

"My lord, my daughter-in-law is here, so we won't eat with you." He said with a smile, and then pulled away the eldest grandson who was about to drool.

Shen Yuanping wrapped five or six big steamed buns in oiled paper, walked over,
"Old man, give it to the children!" Shen Yuanping smiled and handed the steamed buns to the old man.

"My lord, you can't do it, you can't do it, these are all good things, they were wasted for us." Looking at it, he quickly shied away.

"What a waste, let's follow Mr. Mu. From now on, you can eat the white flour steamed buns whenever you want!" Shen Yuanping said with a smile.

"That's okay, we all have dry food!" The old man still disagreed. Although Mr. Mu is a good official, you can eat this white flour steamed bun whenever you want. I have lived for 50 years but I have only eaten it twice. .

"Then let's exchange!" Shen Yuanping took out a few buns from his wife's basket, and left with a smile.

"Big..." The old man wanted to stop Shen Yuanping, but Shen Yuanping had already strode away.

"Father, this lord and Mr. Mu are rare and good officials, let's eat!" The old man's son stopped the old man.

With tears in his eyes, the old man opened the paper bag and looked at the big white steamed buns inside. His tears could not stop breaking open a steamed bun and handing half to his grandson, "Let's eat it!" Pass it to the eldest daughter-in-law.

"Grandpa, you eat!" Huzi swallowed and handed the buns to the old man.

"Grandpa doesn't eat it. Huzi has never eaten white flour steamed buns at this age. Boss, wife, take the remaining steamed buns back and share with the children." The old man ordered.

"Father, you work hard, you should eat to replenish your health." The eldest daughter-in-law said.

"No, for the children." The old man looked at his three sons and grandson and said with a smile.

"Hua, you can go back." The old man's eldest son said with a smile.

Seeing this, the woman had to go back.

Shen Yuanping came back and put the Wowotou in the basket.

"Brother-in-law, what is this?" Mu Chaojin picked up the bun with some curiosity, it looked earthy yellow and hard.

"This is the steamed corn bread here. All the fine grains here have been taxed. The people don't have enough food. Most of them eat this steamed corn bread. It's made of floating chaff and cornmeal. It's hard and not tasty." A The yamen servant replied.

"Floating bran? Can I eat enough?" Mu Chaojin put it to his mouth and took a bite, but found that he didn't bite.

"It's fine as long as you can live. There is no need to worry about whether you are full or not." The yamen servant said with a helpless smile.

Shen Yuanping took one and soaked it in a tea bowl, and then ate it after soaking soft.

Seeing this, Mu Chaojin imitated the example. After eating it in his mouth, he found that it was so rough that it hurt his throat. Mu Chaojin swallowed it bravely.

"The general actually knows how to eat!" A yamen servant looked at Shen Yuanping in amazement, General Shen is really a man like a god.

"When I was running away from the famine, it was already a delicacy in the world to be able to eat this. I just bit off a piece and kept it in my mouth without water." Shen Yuanping said with a smile.

Everyone looked at Shen Yuanping with admiration. It's no wonder that General Shen was once a refugee.

"Let's finish our meal and work hard so that next year there will be no chaff in the people's buns!" Mu Chaojin picked up a bun and ate it, saying with a smile.

Mu Chaojin can't guarantee that the common people will eat white flour steamed buns next year, but Mu Chaojin is still confident if they can eat steamed buns without floating chaff.
