After Xu Qianjiao saw her mother meet up with Aunt Tian and the others at the state-owned restaurant, she waited for a few minutes before coming out of the alley and walking towards them.
"Mother, Auntie."
"Jiaojiao is here?" Aunt Tian greeted Xu Qianjiao with a smile on her face, and seemed to be in a good mood.
When Xu Qianjiao came out of the alley, Mother Xu's eyes flickered, but she said nothing. "Are you hungry? Let's go to the state-owned restaurant and buy two buns?"
"Okay." Xu Qianjiao's eyes lit up when she heard that she could go to the state-owned restaurant to buy buns. She immediately took Xu's mother's hand and said, "Let's go, Mom. I'm super hungry."
"Okay, okay, I got it, let's go." Xu's mother was pulled by Xu Qianjiao into the state-owned restaurant.
Mother Xu asked Xu Qianjiao to find a place to sit down, and then she went to the counter to order a few buns.
After a while, Xu's mother finally came back with a few buns in her hand. She opened the oil paper and handed a bun to Xu Qianjiao, "Eat it."
Xu Qianjiao looked at Xu's mother with resentment, and took the steamed bun with a bit of grievance, "Mom, I want to eat meat buns too."
Mother Xu glared at her, turned around, took out a meat bun and handed it to Xu Qianjiao, "Okay, it's not like you'll lose anything, eat it quickly."
"Thank you, Mom." Xu Qianjiao took the bun and took a big bite. "Mmm, it's delicious."
Fresh from the oven, the steaming hot meat buns are brimming with flavor. The white dough envelops the generous filling, creating a fragrant aroma. With one bite, the scalding hot juices instantly ooze out, creating a juicy and delicious feast. The filling is perfectly balanced, tender and tender, perfectly complementing the softness of the dough. Every bite reveals the savory flavor of the meat and the fragrant wheat flavor of the dough, leaving a lasting impression.
Xu Qianjiao finished the bun in just a few bites. She licked her lips with aftertaste and looked at the remaining meat bun in Xu's mother's hand with a bit of reluctance. Xu's mother stuffed the meat bun into the backpack and said, "Don't think about it. This remaining one is for your father. You can eat the steamed bun."
Xu Qianjiao pouted, "Why can you all eat two meat buns, but I can only eat one?"
"Your father paid for the meat buns, not you." Xu's mother said as a matter of course.
"Okay~", Xu Qianjiao looked at Xu's mother sadly, picked up the steamed bun in her hand and took a big bite.
Seeing that she stopped pestering him, Xu's mother picked up her meat bun and started eating it happily.
-------------------------------------
It was only one o'clock when they finished eating buns at the state-owned restaurant. Mother Xu looked at the clock on the wall of the state-owned restaurant and said, "Jiaojiao, do you want to go shopping or come back with us to the ox cart and wait?"
Xu Qianjiao shook her head slightly, "Well, I'd better go shopping. There are still two hours left. Waiting is too boring."
"Okay, then be careful."
After saying that, Xu's mother walked back to the county town gate with Aunt Tian and the others, ready to wait for the ox cart there.
Xu Qianjiao walked out of the state-owned hotel, walked on the street with her head down for a long time, and finally figured out where she was going. She was going to the place that the heroine of the period novel must go to - the scrap yard.
She carried her small backpack and walked towards the scrap yard with a proud and confident look, wanting to show off her skills there.
As a result, when she arrived at the scrap yard and saw how dusty and dirty it was, Xu Qianjiao wanted to back off and didn't want to go in. She lingered at the door for a while, constantly preparing herself mentally, "Since I'm here, I might as well go in and take a look."
After preparing herself mentally, Xu Qianjiao finally walked in. There was only an old man guarding the door. When the old man saw Xu Qianjiao, he asked, "What are you looking for?"
Xu Qianjiao took out two candies from her pocket and handed them over, "Uncle, let me find some newspapers and boxes."
The old man gave her a shrewd look, took the candy, and pointed to one of the rooms. "Well, everything is there, go find it yourself."
Xu Qianjiao looked in the direction the old man pointed and said, "Okay, thank you, old man."
"Um."
After pointing the direction, the old man continued to read the newspaper with his head down and ignored Xu Qianjiao.
Xu Qianjiao walked into the room. Everything inside was in tatters. She took a deep breath and immersed herself in it, trying to see if she could find anything. After searching for a long time, she found nothing.
She looked up at the sky and couldn't help but sigh: Sure enough, there are still many smart people in the world. The good things were hidden by others when the house was searched, so how could they be left here?
Helplessly, she could only pick up some newspapers and a relatively intact box. She walked up to the old man, who looked at her and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
She lowered her head a little embarrassedly, feeling that her intention to pick up treasures was exposed in front of the old man.
"Just give me five cents for these."
"Okay, thank you, uncle." Xu Qianjiao immediately took out the money, picked up the things and left. She really felt stupid under the uncle's gaze.
-------------------------------------
After Xu Qianjiao came out of the scrap yard, she continued to wander the streets. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure again. She glanced over there cautiously and muttered softly, "Is this county town so small? How come I ran into someone I know again?"
She wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly saw what he was holding. It was a roasted chicken. Ahhhh, her pig craving came back again.
She couldn't control her feet and followed him again. As she followed, Xu Qianjiao lost him. She looked at the alleys in front of her that led in all directions and sighed, "Huh, roast chicken! I want to eat it too."
As soon as she turned her head, she was startled by the man behind her, "Ah."
"Why are you following me?" Cheng Jiawen looked at her with a wary face. He was not sure how much she had seen or whether she had seen their transaction.
