Chapter 5 The Old Lady Finds Fault
Chen Yuan's previous job also involved a lot of dealing with people, and he could tell at a glance that this old lady was no pushover.
But adhering to the principle that all guests are welcome, he patiently explained.
"Auntie, these buns are all handmade by me, definitely not pre-made ones from outside, so you can rest assured."
At this moment, the old lady craned her neck to look into the house and soon saw the bowl of minced meat.
She lifted her leg, ready to rush into the house.
Chen Yuan was startled and quickly stopped him.
"Auntie, what are you doing?"
The old lady looked very dissatisfied after being stopped, her brows furrowed, and she said irritably.
"I'll go in and take a look. My grandson eats your food, so I have to see how clean your place is, and whether your meat and vegetables are fresh."
"I can't let this food go into my grandson's stomach without knowing its safety. What if it makes him sick?"
Chen Yuan took a deep breath, suppressing his dissatisfaction.
"Auntie, the kitchen is a restricted area, no unauthorized personnel allowed. Not to mention my little shop, no restaurant would allow an outsider like you to just walk in."
The old lady, with her hands behind her back, spoke in a somewhat aggressive manner.
"You're not letting me in, are you hiding something?"
Chen Yuan was too lazy to continue arguing with such a unreasonable person, so he said coldly.
"Auntie, if you're not going to buy anything, please go to another store."
As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, the old lady's grandson objected.
She sat down on the ground, her two little legs twitching like they were riding on wheels of fire, crying and fussing.
"I want to eat steamed buns! I want to eat steamed buns!"
The old lady grumbled as she dragged her grandson up from the ground. Helpless, she had to give up her idea of storming into the kitchen, but she still complained.
"It's just a look at the kitchen, they're so stingy."
"Give me a steamed bun, my grandson has a small appetite, one will be enough for him. How much?"
Chen Yuan said, "Three pieces."
The old lady immediately flew into a rage.
Three yuan?! Are you kidding me? Three yuan for a lousy steamed bun!
Chen Yuan pretended not to hear.
The old lady glanced at the size of the buns and started grumbling, complaining that they were too small and too expensive.
She didn't want to buy it at first, but her grandson was making such a fuss that she had no choice but to give in.
After getting the steamed buns, the old lady shoved them into her grandson's arms with a vengeance and muttered curses under her breath.
"Eat! All you ever do is eat! You leave the clean food out of the house and only eat this dirty, smelly stuff. Let me tell you, if you get diarrhea, I won't be responsible!"
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "If your grandson really gets diarrhea from eating this, wouldn't you tear my shop down?"
Seeing that there weren't many buns left from the first batch, Chen Yuan quickly started wrapping more buns, preparing to start the second batch.
While she was making steamed buns.
Two smartly dressed urban white-collar workers suddenly appeared at the street corner.
Both of them were of above-average appearance; one had a braid, and the other had short hair that reached her collarbone.
The two women, dressed in matching business suits and high heels, were heading towards the bus stop.
The girl with the ponytail suddenly smelled the aroma of meat buns in the air. She quickly tugged at the girl next to her and whispered something.
"Jingjing, can you smell the meat buns?"
Xu Jingjing shook her head and said with a smile.
"Xu Wen, are you craving meat buns? There are some downstairs at our office. How about we skip bread and have meat buns instead?"
"Smell it carefully, it really smells like a meat bun."
"I can't smell it."
"You smelly nose! You didn't smell such a wonderful fragrance? Are you catching a cold?"
Xu Jingjing actually caught a cold.
When the two arrived at the entrance of the breakfast shop, Xu Jingjing finally smelled the faint aroma of meat buns in the air.
Xu Wen didn't know why, but as soon as he smelled this aroma, his stomach started rumbling.
She grabbed Xu Jingjing and headed towards the entrance of the breakfast shop.
Chen Yuan had just started steaming the second batch of buns.
He was wiping the stove with his back to them.
He didn't turn around until he heard Xu Wen call out.
Chen Yuan turned around.
Xu Jingjing blushed instantly upon seeing Chen Yuan's appearance.
Look at that face!
He's totally her type!
Chen Yuan is 1.8 meters tall and was considered a handsome man in high school and college. However, he stopped caring about such things after marrying Lin Wei and having children.
Coupled with the hardships of life and the pressure of work, he appeared somewhat颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, and a lack of motivation).
But it was precisely this touch of despondency that gave Chen Yuan a completely different aura.
Chen Yuan smiled slightly and said to the two of them.
"Welcome! I sell handmade fresh meat buns here, three yuan each. How many do you want?"
Xu Wen glanced at Chen Yuan and said frankly.
"Wow, boss, you're so handsome! Did you just open this shop here? I've never seen you before!"
"Today is my first day of business."
"No wonder! I knew it! If there was such a handsome guy in our neighborhood, how could I have only found out now?"
"Hehe, you flatter me."
Xu Jingjing's face was already as red as a tomato. She looked at Chen Yuan's face, feeling both nervous and shy, and couldn't say a word.
Xu Wen asked, "Are two of these meat buns enough to fill you up?"
Chen Yuan replied, "Well, for a normal appetite, two should be about right."
"Alright then, I'll take two."
After Xu Wen scanned the code to pay, he reached out and gently poked Xu Jingjing next to him.
"Don't just stand there, how many do you want to eat?"
Xu Jingjing stammered, "I...I want..."
Chen Yuan looked at Xu Jingjing beside him and said in a gentle voice.
How many do you want?
"two."
This was an almost subconscious answer.
To be honest, in just a few seconds, Xu Jingjing had already decided what to name her and Chen Yuan's child!
Xu Jingjing even thought that being the owner of a breakfast shop was pretty good!
After paying and scanning the code, Xu Jingjing had just mustered the courage to ask if she could get Chen Yuan's contact information when...
Suddenly, a childish voice rang out.
"dad……"
Chen Yuan turned his head and saw Chen Youyou, who had woken up. He quickly squatted down and picked her up.
"You're awake? Are you hungry? Shall we have some water first?"
He looks like a familiar face, clearly a super dad.
Xu Wen asked, "Is this your daughter? She's so adorable!"
Chen Yuan said, "Yes, Youyou, call me 'sister'."
"Chen Youyou called out in her childish voice."
Good morning, sister~
Xu Jingjing: ...Can you hear the sound of my heart breaking?
