Chapter 6 The Disfigured Little Flower



Today's quantity was large, and almost all the diners got to try it. It was precisely because they ate Lu Wu's steamed buns that they were even more unhappy about the purchase limit.

"If I find out who leaked this information, I'll kill them!"

Someone muttered something, and Lou Xiaotian shrank back.

He regretted it too. He could have had it all to himself. Waaah, his innocent little dumpling didn't get to eat it today!

So there really are things that money can't buy.

Lou Xiaotian, filled with remorse, glanced around and started plotting again.

Many people have already discovered that post, including Lou Xiaotian.

After a sinister laugh, he started fiddling with it.

A sentence appeared below that post.

"The boss's steamed buns have been booked out for the next few days, so please don't come."

First, stir up trouble and fool as many people as you can. Then, take advantage of the chaos and maybe you can get more money out of them.

After all, judging from the current situation, Mr. Lu's steamed bun shop has no trouble making a living.

The customers on this street are enough for Boss Lu to sell.

Before long, Lou Xiaotian found that his sentence had been pushed to the top of the list.

He looked around and saw that many people were using the "One-World Pass" feature. A group of people exchanged glances and revealed knowing smiles.

Sure enough, he wasn't the only one.

Lou Xiaotian felt a little guilty after meeting Lu Wu's gaze.

no way.

Even if I can't earn a steamed bun, I'll earn a baozi (a type of steamed bun).

Ever since he tasted these steamed buns, he has completely lost interest in the steamed buns made by the Lou family's chefs.

To satisfy his own cravings, he had no choice but to deceive innocent people.

Meanwhile, Grandpa Li, who also ate the bun, smacked his lips, savoring the taste.

He deleted the follow-up comment he had prepared praising him.

Don't blame him.

He's just worried that the young people won't be able to enjoy it.

He's old, but he's not afraid. Let him do it!

Lu Wu is very busy.

Seeing the food she made herself being tasted and enjoyed by others gives her a sense of satisfaction.

Lu Wu listened with a smile as the diners ate their buns without any regard for their image and chatted about all sorts of things.

For Lu Wu, many things were full of fun and novelty.

Amidst the fireworks of the night and the rich aroma of food, Lu Wu finally felt a sense of belonging to this world.

...

In a secluded alley in Xiahe Town, a simply dressed woman, clutching her chest, opened a humble door.

The room was sparsely furnished and appeared empty at first glance.

The woman lit a candle and walked to the innermost wooden bed.

Under the old but clean quilt, you can see a small bulge, rising and falling, and someone is sleeping inside.

The woman's footsteps were heavy, but the person inside the blanket did not react.

"Xiaohua, I bought your favorite red bean buns. Get up and have a few bites."

"These steamed buns are delicious. When I went there, there was a long line of people, and I almost didn't get to buy any."

"It's just a little pricey."

The woman kept talking, but there was still no movement from under the covers. Her gaze lingered there, her expression sorrowful.

"Xiaohua, let's eat more so that we can get better."

"after……"

The woman wanted to try to persuade him further, but then she heard an extremely sharp and violent roar.

"What future is there?"

"My face is ruined!"

"Those people call me ugly, they laugh at me when I go out, how can I face anyone? I might as well be dead!"

Judging from the voice, it belongs to a young girl.

His tone was heavy and full of hostility.

She suddenly stood up and forcefully slapped the woman's hand away.

The woman, in pain, didn't notice that the bun had slipped from her hand and hit the ground, scattering the oil paper that had been used to wrap it.

The bun, already thin-skinned, cracked slightly upon impact, releasing the aroma of red beans mixed with sweetness, which stopped the girl from uttering hurtful words.

The little girl was stunned.

Its nose twitched, and it looked in the direction of the fragrance.

She saw the white, steaming buns and noticed her mother's pained and distressed expression.

For a moment, he looked regretful.

Her father died early, and she and her mother depended on each other for survival.

She'll be twelve soon and will be able to take the aptitude test; perhaps then she'll have the chance to soar to great heights.

But she dared not hope for it anymore.

She contracted a strange illness, and her life was ruined.

In the candlelight, her face, covered with black spots, was clearly visible.

The dense, swarming mass turned what should have been a pretty and charming face into a terrifying monster.

When he spoke, his muscles twitched, and the spots looked like wriggling worms.

Disgusting and ugly.

This is Xiaohua's greatest pain right now.

The mother and daughter tried many methods and spent a lot of money to remove these spots, but none of them could be removed.

With such a face, and facing the disdainful and contemptuous gazes of others, Xiaohua didn't even have the courage to step out of that door.

"Little Flower, have a taste."

Noticing the look in her daughter's eyes, the woman held back her tears, picked up the bun, and handed it to Xiaohua.

"It's very clean. I heard from the flower sellers there that these buns are magical."

As for what was so magical, she was in a hurry to get back and didn't hear it.

Xiaohua wanted to refuse, but the sweet aroma kept tempting her, like a devil, making it impossible to resist.

"Coo coo coo".

Xiao Hua, who hadn't eaten properly for several days, blushed bright red upon hearing the sound, but fortunately, the dark spots concealed it, and the woman didn't see it.
