Chapter 212 The buns at home are not enough for you
Xiao Zhao frowned and said, "Captain Gu's wife's business is so good because their food is delicious and the meat they use is real. Unlike them, they cheat and claim to use good meat, but in fact they use the worst meat."
"They're still selling spoiled buns. People pointed it out, but not only are they refusing to refund us, they're also refusing to admit it! Judging from their behavior, they're probably going to continue selling them today. Isn't this just a scam?"
Xiao Zhao, who is young and can't stand injustice, speaks a little harshly.
Sister Tang coughed twice and continued to count the goods without saying anything.
No one else responded. If this were to be said and got to the ears of the person concerned, it would offend him.
Therefore, they would not say such offensive words.
No matter whether it is a scam or not, as long as they don’t buy it, they won’t be cheated.
When Yu Hui returned home, Gu Huai had already fermented the dough for scallion pancakes, chopped the scallions, and cooked mung bean porridge.
Yu Hui fried some pancakes, made some cold eggplant salad and had breakfast.
There is no school today, so Gu Dong got up very early and finished his homework yesterday so that he could go to the store to help out today.
Qian Lan came to get the key while I was having breakfast. She had already finished her breakfast and went to the store to knead noodles first.
Yu Hui gave her the key. Yu Jianshe and Yu Lixin also wanted to go along to help. Yu Hui also gave each of them a piece of scallion pancake to eat.
After Gu Huai finished his breakfast, he collected and washed the dishes, then went to work with Yu Qiang.
Yu Hui tidied up at home before leaving the house with her four children.
At eight o'clock in the morning, there were still quite a few people buying things in the grocery store.
Yu Hui took her children to the grocery store to buy the onions and vines needed for the store.
After buying them, the two brothers Gu Dong and Gu Nan picked up the vegetables together, while Yu Hui carried the green onions in one hand and held Bei Bei's hand in the other, and went to the noodle shop.
When passing by the bun shop, Wen Zhaodi and Zheng Jie Xiu were swatting flies out of their wits.
Wu Hongbing was squatting at the door of the store playing, while Wu Fang and Wu Li, brother and sister, were guarding the door.
When Wen Zhaodi saw Yu Hui walking past the door with her child, she glared at them anxiously.
They steamed ten baskets of buns today, but only sold one basket this morning. The business was even worse than yesterday.
Now, let alone those who are against her, she even wants to kick the dog passing by the store.
When they arrived at the store, Qian Lan was kneading dough, while Yu Jianshe and Yu Lixin were washing the pig intestines.
Seeing this, Yu Hui quickly took over the job of washing the pig intestines and asked them to sort the onions, vines and peel garlic.
Several children were chatting while working.
Yu Lixin: "Business at Wu Hongbing's steamed bun shop is terrible. I don't see many people buying from it."
After he arrived, he kept an eye on the business of the bun shop, but he didn't see many people buying buns. Wu Hongbing's mother and grandmother looked very unhappy.
Gu Xixi: "Their buns are not as delicious as my mom's. Their business must be bad."
Yu Jianshe laughed at him, "You haven't even tried their buns, how do you know they're not as delicious as your mom's?"
Her moist eyes rolled around in Gu Xixi's eyes, "Of course I know, the fragrance of their buns is not as good as the ones my mom makes, and they are definitely not as delicious as the ones my mom makes."
"Not only are they not as fragrant as the ones my mom makes, they also have a weird smell." Gu Xixi wrinkled her nose as she smelled the fragrance that was blown over from the bun shop by the wind.
"It's a bad smell." said Yu Lixin.
The four Gu siblings all looked at him.
Yu Lixin continued, "When we were passing by a grocery store on our way here, we heard someone say they bought some buns from a bun shop, only to find the fillings were smelly and the dough was sour."
"Ah..." The three Gu brothers were stunned.
Beibei didn't know whether he understood or not, and he also let out an "Ah..."
The reaction of the four siblings made Yu Lixin, the gossipmonger, very satisfied. He cleared his throat and continued in a low voice, "Some people say that Wu Hongbing's family uses dead pork to make dumplings."
"Dead pork!" Gu Xixi exclaimed.
Gu Dong narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Lixin, "Isn't the pork we eat the meat of dead pigs?"
Who can still eat the meat of a living pig?
Yu Lixin rolled his eyes at him. "Dead pig meat is the meat from pigs that have been dead for a long time before being slaughtered."
Gu Dong: “…”
Okay.
Qian Lan, who was kneading dough, heard Yu Lixin talking nonsense with his brothers, so she walked over and nudged him on the back with her knee.
"What nonsense! What dead pork? They use meat filling and bread that has been stale overnight. The meat filling and bread have gone bad."
Yu Lixin stubbornly said, "Some people also say it's made with dead pork."
Someone said so, so what he said is not nonsense.
"They were just making wild guesses, and you're just saying nonsense too," Qian Lan glared at her son. "If Wu Hongbing's mother and grandmother heard about it, they'd definitely accuse you of deliberately fabricating rumors to discredit their bun shop."
Their own business is not honest and their business is already bad. If they hear someone from their two families saying such things, they will definitely blame their noodle shop.
Yu Lixin pursed his lips and said nothing.
Qian Lan glared at him and told Yu Jianshe, "Keep an eye on your brother and don't let him talk nonsense all day long."
Yu Jianshe: "Okay."
Qian Lan continued to knead the dough.
Gu Dong pinched the vines and frowned, saying, "Smells like meat from the previous night, doesn't that mean it's spoiled? How can you use this spoiled meat to make dumplings? Mom said you can't eat meat or vegetables that have gone bad, it'll give you a stomachache."
"That's right." Gu Nan nodded, "We never eat leftover food at home."
Yu Lixin looked at Gu Nan in surprise. "Your family doesn't even eat leftover food? What do you do with the leftover food?"
Gu Xixi said loudly: "We never have leftover food in our house. The dishes my mother cooks are super delicious, and we can finish them all at every meal." As she spoke, she raised her chin proudly.
Yu Lixin was speechless for a moment, "...What if there's leftovers?"
"Throw it away," Gu Nan said. "Mom said eating leftovers is bad for your health."
The two brothers Yu Jianshe looked at each other in silence.
Half an hour later, the aroma of braised pork intestines wafted out of the noodle shop and spread everywhere.
Wu Hongbing, who was originally squatting and playing at the door of his house, smelled the fragrance and ran to the door of the noodle shop and stood there.
"Gu Nan, what are you cooking in the pot?" Wu Hongbing asked Gu Nan with drool.
Gu Nan rolled his eyes at him and said, "None of your business."
Wu Hongbing, who was scolded, turned around and ran to his own bun shop.
"Mom, mom, I want to eat what Gu Nan's stepmother is cooking now. Go and get it for me."
Wen Zhaodi was feeling annoyed as she smelled the aroma coming from the noodle shop. When she heard her beloved son say that he wanted to eat the food cooked by Yu Hui in the noodle shop, she felt even more annoyed.
She, who always doted on her son, rarely yelled at him.
"What are you going to eat? The buns at home are not enough for you."
