Unlike the meaty aroma of small meat buns, the aroma of red bean buns is as sweet and tempting as their name suggests.
Just smelling it is like drinking honey.
The fragrance permeated every nook and cranny.
The moment Lu Wu stepped into the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, as she brushed past some people, many eyes followed her.
"What is that? It smells so good!"
"Tsk, what's delicious?"
"I smelled it just now, slurp, I'm so hungry."
The Baihualou restaurant was doing very well. The courtesans on the first floor were greeting customers. Amidst the aroma of wine and cosmetics, the soft and sweet scent of red beans instantly captivated them.
At this moment, even the delicate and soft-bodied flower maiden no longer smelled appealing.
"Little girl, what's that in your arms?"
A cold-looking customer blocked Lu Wu's way. He stared intently at the oil paper package, his eyes drooling, as if he was about to pounce on it.
God knows how picky he is about food. He comes here to have fun, but he doesn't even put his mouth on the food.
But just then, he got a craving.
Saliva was rapidly secreting in his mouth, and Lou Xiaotian wanted to transform into a wolf and pounce on it.
"It's steamed buns."
Having observed the other person's expression, Lu Wu pointed outside: "The steamed bun shop is right across from Baihualou. You'll see it as soon as you go out."
Thank you.
Lou Xiaotian, who had been given directions, ran out quickly, as did the others who had been eavesdropping on the two's conversation.
Even some of the flower girls lost interest in attracting customers and went out with them.
Even the desire for food and drink is a desire, and it is beneficial to their spiritual practice.
Seeing the hall suddenly empty, Lu Wu silently muttered a word of apology under the madam's murderous glare, and quickly delivered the steamed buns to the courtesan from earlier.
Inside the room, Hua Niang sat at her dressing table, her expression not good.
She touched her cheek with her fingers, and some spots appeared on her face, which should have been as white as jade.
She tried some medications, but none of them worked, and she had to wear heavy makeup every time she went out.
Over time, she lost many of her patrons, and her cultivation level stagnated for a long time.
"Oh, it's you. Just leave it there."
Hua Niang, who had no appetite, tapped the table with a blank expression, clearly not wanting to talk any further.
After putting the things down, Lu Wu glanced at Hua Niang gently stroking her cheek, lost in thought.
If she remembered correctly, the recipe provided by the system said that because all the ingredients in the Azure Realm were imbued with spiritual energy, the food made from them would also carry some special effects.
For example, these sweet red bean buns can make your skin as clean and fair as your first love.
"Sister, steamed buns taste best when they're hot."
Lu Wu spoke softly, then walked out the door as the other person casually waved.
As Lu Wu, who was deep in thought, stepped out of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, he heard a loud shout.
She looked up and froze.
"Come on, come on! Don't miss out! Fresh, big meat buns! One low-grade spirit stone each! You won't regret it!"
"What? You think it's too expensive? Go away, next one."
"Mmm, so delicious!"
"What do you mean 'spicy kidney bun'? I think it's 'fiery fairy bun'."
"Get out of the way, stop fighting! The last one is mine, I paid for it!"
...
All you could see was Lou Xiaotian enthusiastically hawking his wares at her stall, occasionally taking a bite of a steamed bun.
With one bite of the meat bun, the melted broth is sucked into the throat, and the remaining tender meat mixes with the white flour, the meat juice completely captivating the white flour.
It's incredibly fresh and fragrant, and not greasy at all.
It's so delicious I could cry.
Lou Xiaotian's expression was one of pure infatuation.
? ? ?
Lu Wu poked out a few question marks.
If she remembered correctly, she was the boss, so how come her house was raided just a few minutes after she left home?
Upon checking the system, thankfully, the task progress was increasing.
"Hey boss, you're finally back! Hurry up and make some steamed buns, I've sold out this whole basket for you."
Lou Xiaotian, who caught sight of Lu Wu, licked his fingertips with lingering affection.
The chili oil inside the kidney sandwich explodes in your mouth, making it absolutely irresistible.
"Ahem, I couldn't wait any longer, so I packed it up myself. I paid for it."
“I made sure everyone else paid, but there weren’t enough buns for you.”
Pointing to the dozen or so spirit stones on the table, Lou Xiaotian's previously aloof face now appeared obsequious.
"You're the boss, huh? Hurry up and make some steamed buns."
"I'm so hungry I could cry."
"How dare you say that? You beast! We've been friends for decades, and you won't even let me have a bite? We're breaking off our friendship right now."
Some people were happy to see Lu Wu, while others went crazy.
Just as the man who was shouting that he was breaking off the friendship was about to kick another person who was secretly eating a steamed bun, Lu Wu turned her eyes away and pretended not to see it.
The customer is king.
God is right no matter what He does.
Besides, she's just a small-time idiot; if she went up to break up the fight, she'd be slapped into mincemeat.
"Coming right away."
After washing her hands, Lu Wu took out the dough and began making it on the spot, while asking what was going on.
How did a small business become so popular after just a short time outside?
"Ahem, it's all because of this kid."
Lou Xiaotian glared at the drunkard behind him.
Although he was tempted, he still wanted to wait for Lu Wu to return, since taking something without asking would be considered stealing.
However, when Lu Wu delivered the buns to his door, the drunkard was so impressed by their taste that he immediately declared that he would buy the whole basket when he saw that Lou Xiaotian was also coming to buy buns.
How could Lou Xiaotian, the little tyrant of Xiahe Town, possibly agree to that?
