Chapter 21 Xiao Yu, You Are Speculating
Yu Lixin led Yu Hui to Teacher Li's house.
As he walked, he pointed ahead, "Teacher Li's house is just around the corner. It's a two-story Western-style building, very beautiful."
In this military compound, there are Sanhe Courtyard and two-story Western-style buildings with courtyards. Small Western-style buildings like these were built decades ago.
On the contrary, these Sanheyuan were built later.
Teacher Li joined the army early, so he was assigned to the small Western-style building first.
Wen Zhaodi walked while smelling the fragrance of buns and looking for the house that was steaming buns.
Along the way, she met several people who were discussing who was making the buns. Their kids were so greedy that they were clamoring for meat buns.
After greeting the acquaintances she met, Wen Zhaodi just turned a corner and saw Yu Hui, who was carrying a basket of plump white buns, holding a child in her hand and carrying another on her back, walking behind the second son of the Yu family.
The aroma of the buns became stronger and stronger. It was obvious that the smell of buns she smelled before came from the buns in Yu Hui's hand.
Wen Zhaodi swallowed her saliva, walked up and asked, "Xiao Yu, where did you get these buns?"
Yu Hui glanced at Wen Zhaodi, her eyes clearly saying, "What does this have to do with you?"
Yu Lixin replied, "My Aunt Yu wrapped and steamed them herself."
Along the way, they met several people who asked them.
When Wen Zhaodi heard that it was Yu Hui who packed it, she glanced at her with some disbelief.
"Xiao Yu, I didn't expect you to have such a skill. I can smell the aroma of these meat buns at home. They are even more delicious than the ones in the cafeteria."
"Look, there is oil oozing out of the tip of the bun. You can tell it has a thin skin and a big filling. It's so delicious when you bite it." Wen Zhaodi's eyes were fixed on the big and fragrant bun, and she swallowed her saliva as she spoke.
Although she looked down on Yu Hui, now that she wanted her big bun, she naturally had to say a few compliments first.
Yu Hui didn't respond.
"My son Hongbing smelled the delicious smell of steamed buns at home and started asking for meat buns. I thought I'd go to the canteen to buy some, but the buns were sold out in the canteen this afternoon."
"Xiao Yu, can you sell me a few?" She offered to buy them, but she felt that with Yu Hui's country girl's personality, she would definitely feel embarrassed to accept money in order to build a good relationship with them.
Yu Hui glanced at her and said, "Okay, 20 cents each, how many do you want?"
Two cents!
Wen Zhaodi widened her eyes. Yu Hui really dared to ask for a price?
Yu Hui's reaction completely exceeded Wen Zhaodi's expectations. Not only did this person have the nerve to take the money, but he also asked for an exorbitant price.
"The meat buns in the cafeteria are only fifty cents each."
"The buns in the cafeteria aren't as big as the ones I make, and they don't have as much meat filling as I do. And they cost half an ounce of grain coupons and meat coupons for each one."
She doesn't want a ticket, but shouldn't one be 20 cents?
However, Yu Hui also realized that Wen Zhaodi was not sincere in buying it, and she herself was not sincere in selling it either.
"The ones in the cafeteria aren't as delicious as the ones Aunt Yu makes," Yu Lixin added.
Gu Xixi nodded and emphasized that the dumplings made by her mother were much more delicious than those in the cafeteria.
"This... no matter how delicious it is, you can't charge an exorbitant price," Wen Zhaodi said. "Besides, Xiaoyu, selling buns in our compound is really speculation."
She planned to scare Yu Hui, who came from the countryside. If she scared her, she would definitely give herself the buns to shut herself up.
"Oh~" Yu Hui dragged out the words, "So selling buns to you is speculation. Then you still want me to sell to you? You want me to make a mistake?"
She had an expression that said, "What are you up to?"
“…” Wen Zhaodi choked.
Instead of scaring the person, he was outmaneuvered.
Thinking of her son at home, Wen Zhaodi gritted her teeth and said, "I'll exchange food coupons with you, so it won't be considered speculation."
For the sake of her son, she gave up half a pound of food coupons.
"My family has no shortage of food coupons. I'm from the countryside, and I don't know if using food coupons to exchange for money is considered speculation, but I dare not exchange them with you." After saying that, Yu Hui was about to bypass Wen Zhaodi and leave.
Wen Zhaodi reached out to stop her, "Exchanging it with food coupons doesn't count. If you really don't dare, then give me two buns. My Hongbing just came back from the hospital and he wants to eat meat buns right now."
Yu Hui stared at Wen Zhaodi with wide eyes, "Who would give away a big meat bun these days? I can't bear to do that."
Yu Lixin looked at Yu Hui and thought that Aunt Yu had just given their family eight big white meat balls, so they were no one else to Aunt Yu.
"If your Hongbing wants to eat meat buns, just make them yourself. I can't give him any." After she said that, she no longer cared about Wen Zhaodi and walked around her.
Wen Zhaodi stood there, looking at Yu Hui's back, gritting her teeth and cursing, "You stingy country bumpkin! You can't even bear to part with two buns."
Under the guidance of Yu Lixin, Yu Hui arrived at Teacher Li's house.
This two-story Western-style building looks more imposing than the siheyuan, but it is also very old and the walls are mottled.
The iron gate of the yard was closed, but the main door of the small Western-style building was open, so there must be someone at home.
"Is anyone home?" Yu Hui shouted.
Zhao Chunhong had just finished washing her granddaughter Zhenzhen's butt when she heard someone shouting outside, and the voice sounded familiar.
She walked into the yard carrying her granddaughter and saw Yu Hui standing outside the door.
Why is she here?
Because of the previous misunderstanding, Zhao Chunhong felt a little embarrassed when someone came to her house.
"Xiao Yu, why are you here?"
Yu Hui glanced at Zhao Chunhong and found out that she was from Teacher Li's family.
She said calmly, "Yesterday, Teacher Li gave us two milk powder coupons. Thanks to these two coupons, our Beibei didn't have to be weaned. Teacher Li didn't ask for money, so I made some buns myself and brought them to Teacher Li to try."
After she finished speaking, she handed over a basket of big, white buns with both hands.
Zhao Chunhong had smelled the fragrance of buns a long time ago and had been wondering, who was steaming buns that smelled so good?
I didn’t expect it was packed by Yu Hui.
It’s such a big basket, there must be about twenty of them.
Zhao Chunhong heard about this from her daughter and complained a few words in her heart, thinking that giving milk powder coupons for free was a big loss.
If you sell it outside, a milk powder coupon can be sold for two or three cents.
Unexpectedly, Yu Hui brought over some meat buns at this moment.
Who said Xiaoyu doesn't know how to behave? I am quite a good person.
"Oh, I want it..." When little Zhenzhen saw the big, white and plump buns, she knew they were delicious and leaned over to grab them.
Zhao Chunhong quickly hugged her granddaughter tightly and looked at Yu Hui and said, "It's just two milk powder coupons. Shuping gave them to you to take care of the soldiers' children. Now you can have your buns back."
She politely declined.
"I know everything, but these two milk powder coupons really helped us a lot. I don't know how to thank you, so I can only bring some cheap buns that I made myself. I hope you will accept them, auntie." Yu Hui pushed the buns in her hand forward.
When little Zhenzhen saw that her grandmother wouldn't let her take the delicious food, she opened her mouth and burst into tears.
"Wow, wow, I want..."
