Chapter 23 Vegetable Buns and Meat Buns
(Surrender to this cute world, roll around for collection, for tickets.)
The fire was consuming wood and crackling, and the water in the burning pot was emitting white smoke. There were layers of small steamer baskets stacked on top of the pot, and an old man looked through them one by one. Put a cage at the bottom.

At this time, a voice came from the front, "Old man, here are four buns, I want two..."

The old man responded, fanned the smoke away, saw someone, and said with a smile, "Hey, it's you, Chu Ge, who's coming to drive the town again."

Chu Ge smiled, "Yes, I just came here this morning."

The old man smiled and took out a piece of oiled paper, "Hehe, my son is so diligent, how about the steamed stuffed bun?"

Chu Ge hummed, "Old man, you put two pieces of meat."

After hearing this, the old man laughed and took two white buns from the upper steamer, and another two from the bottom, wrapped them up and handed them to Chu Ge.

"That's right, meat, let me just say, you have to eat better on your way, this lazy person doesn't work, no one will give him money."

Chu gave the money, took the oiled paper bag, and left after talking. At this time, there were many people on the street, so he walked along the side, so he should avoid it, so as not to squeeze the bag.

He crossed a street and found an ox cart parked at the entrance of an alley. A pissed off daughter-in-law was sitting on it. Xiao Mo wrinkled her pretty face and felt aggrieved when she saw it.

Standing by the side of the car, Chu Ge opened the greased paper bag and handed the lower one, "Xiu Niang, let's eat a bun first."

Xiu Niang glanced back at him, took a big bite of the bun as if to vent her anger, Chu Ge saw the man eating, sat on the side with a smile, picked up one and ate it too.

The two drank a bowl of porridge in the morning, and then drove all the way. Fortunately, Chu Ge said that it was Xiu Niang, whose bones were numb and her stomach was shaking and empty.

Xiu Niang took another big bite, and snorted in satisfaction. Now that there is something to eat, let's put it aside. She looked down at the buns in her hand. The skin was thin and the stuffing was full. Shaking, still warm.

Chu Ge watched from the side, smiled, he is a grown man, why does he eat like Xiao Xiang, he looked at Xiu Niang, and said, "Xiu Niang?"

Xiu Niang stuffed her mouth, "Yes."

Chu Ge asked, "Are you still angry?"

Xiu Niang paused, swallowed the steamed stuffed bun in her mouth, "Angry, why are you so angry!" Chu Ge didn't say it was fine, but when she said it, she became angry.

In the tavern just now, she cooked the old duck soup, stewed it with onion, ginger, bamboo shoots, and bacon, and then turned it to a low fire to simmer for an hour before she finished her work.

In the spirit of adding bamboo shoots to add umami taste, in addition to soup oil, it is not only greasy, but also crunchy and crisp in the mouth. It is oily but not greasy, crisp but not rotten, and the aroma is tangy.

But Chef Wang drank more than half of the pot of bamboo shoot soup, and after holding it in for a long time, he said, "It's okay." Enough heat, everything in the kitchen stove is complete, and the firewood is burning well. When it's over, she puts everything aside and says that she puts the bamboo shoots down, and they are all covered.

Based on the fact that she was on fire right now, she pulled Chu Ge and wanted to leave, but she was called out by Chef Wang, talking nonsense, and finally said that she wanted to keep the basket of bamboo shoots, but she couldn’t hold on. Buy it at the price they said.

With a muffled voice, Chu Ge picked up the bun and took a bite.

Xiu Niang looked at her eyes and turned around. She was really a fool, and she didn't know how to say a few words.

Chu Ge didn't know what to say, "Then, next time we won't sell the bamboo shoots to his family."

Xiu Niang listened, and thought about it for a while, if she just listened to her anger and left, then it would be a waste of effort to dig bamboo shoots for the past two days, and then she can't bear to let go of this stuff, if she went to another house , People don't want to look at it, so what should I do.

Fortunately, Chu Ge had a calm temper, he talked to Chef Wang about money, and got a good price.

She turned around, "This time, is there enough money to pay my aunt?"

Chu Ge pondered, "Co-authored and counted at home, there is still some left over."

Xiu Niang thought about it and said, "Are there many left?"

Chu Ge responded, "What's wrong, what are you thinking about?"

After this incident, Xiu Niang didn't lose her temper, the two of them were chatting and chatting, and she kept chattering with a smile.

"We'll go back to the market later. I've been thinking a lot about it. I have to buy some clothes for Xiaoxiang. Erwazi's shoes are also broken. I need to get some dishes, and... "

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang and chatted about things from the house, with a smile on his small face and two dimples, but he was so pretty, holding the freshly baked buns in his hand, his heart was filled with warmth.

He smiled and said, "Okay, are you still eating the buns?"

Seeing that there was some left in her hand, Xiu Niang stuffed it into her mouth and smiled, "Eat it."

Chu Ge opened the oiled paper bag, watched as he gave her one that was oozing with soup, and the stuffing inside was exposed on the folds of the white skin of the other.

Xiu Niang stared at her eyes, she didn't think much about it when the fire started, she took the hand and said, "Chu Ge, you bought some meat buns."

Chu Ge said, "Four buns."

Xiu Niang asked, "Is that your meat bun?"

Chu Ge suddenly said, "Yes."

Xiu Niang smiled, "I don't know yet, you're a big man, you still get vegetable leaves all over your face after eating a steamed stuffed bun."

Chu Ge was stunned and wiped his face with his hand. Xiu Niang looked at him, her eyes were sore, this stupid guy really only got her meat buns.

Xiu Niang took the oil paper in his hand, put the meat bun on it, and wrapped it up carefully.

Chu Ge looked at it, "Why don't you eat it?"

Xiu Niang put it in her arms as she said, "Keep it home and let Xiao Xiang'er and the others satisfy their hunger, okay, we have meat buns."

Chu Ge listened for a while, then handed over the bun in his hand, and said in a silent voice, "There is a vegetable bun left, which is not as delicious as the meat bun, but..."

Xiu Niang smiled along with her, "It's okay to eat meat buns, and then eat vegetables, so you don't get bored, right?"

Chugo muttered, "Oh, um."

Xiu Niang took the bun and broke it in half, took the half-stretched bun and gave it to Chu Ge, "Then half for each person, you can eat it just now."

Chu Ge was taken aback, "What?"

Xiu Niang said, "Of course it's meat buns, what do you think I'm talking about."

Chu Ge responded, and took the half-baked vegetable bun.

Xiu Niang held it in her hand and took a bite, she was surprised, this vegetable bun was definitely better than the meat bun.

People from the previous street came and shouted loudly, covering the wheeled cart next to it.

The people in the car were eating steamed stuffed buns, and the old cow lowered his head and gnawed on the grass roots by the wall. Although they were not as good as Xiayang Village's platycodon stalks, let's just make do with it.

The old cow shook his ears slowly, swayed off the cart, and carried the young couple leisurely.

"Chugo."

"Oh."

"Let's take a while, let's close the door."
