Hello, boss.
"I'm the one who fainted in front of your stall yesterday. Thank you so much for the steamed buns and water you gave me!"
Jia Lan immediately gave Lin Zhou a deep 90-degree bow, which startled him.
"Um... I'm glad you're alright."
Lin Zhou didn't immediately recognize that this was the girl who had been taken away by ambulance last night due to low blood sugar.
The situation was tense at the time, and it was dark at night, so people didn't have that kind of appearance.
Seeing that Jia Lan is doing well makes me quite happy.
"Thanks to your steamed buns, otherwise I would have fainted from hunger."
Jia Lan can still recall the agony of almost fainting from hunger.
Her eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at Lin Zhou.
She could now understand why, in the past, some people would repay someone for giving them a steamed bun. The feeling of starving to death was so terrifying that a single steamed bun seemed to hold extraordinary significance.
"Boss, I'll also have two red bean paste ones and two char siu ones."
Jia Lan originally planned to buy more steamed buns to support the boss's business and repay him.
Unexpectedly, the owner's business was so good that customers asked him to limit purchases to four per person.
This ruined all her plans.
However, looking at the few buns left in the steamer, she was very glad that the owner had adopted a purchase limit, otherwise the buns would probably have been sold out before she even got a turn.
After receiving the packaged buns and thanking her, Jia Lan scanned the QR code and stood aside to pay.
After seeing Lin Zhou serve the next customer, she quickly paid five hundred yuan and ran away.
People who didn't know better would think she skipped out on the bill.
He gave her a surprised look.
Then they heard the sound of 500 yuan arriving in their accounts. Not only Lin Zhou, but everyone who heard the money arrive was stunned.
"Holy crap, this guy paid the wrong amount!"
"Five hundred yuan?"
Those standing behind Jia Lan had heard her thanking Lin Zhou and immediately realized what was happening.
"Could it be that he offered money to the boss but was afraid the boss wouldn't accept it, so he did this?"
Lin Zhou realized what was happening and reached out to call Jia Lan, but he didn't expect that she was so fast despite her short legs. In the blink of an eye, she was across the street.
"Oops! You paid too much!"
"Girl~"
Jia Lan turned around when she heard the voice, saw Lin Zhou calling her, waved with a grin, and then left...
He just left like that!
It has a sense of accomplishing something and then leaving without a trace, concealing one's merits and fame.
Looking at all the guests in front of him and at Jia Lan's anxious way of running away, Lin Zhou could guess that she was doing it on purpose.
His few steamed buns and bottle of water aren't even worth 500 yuan!
"Oh my god, what are we going to do?"
Seeing Lin Zhou's anxious look, the diners behind him smiled and said, "Boss, this is the young lady thanking you."
"That's right, if you don't take money, people will find a way to repay you."
"Boss, this is an incredible coincidence!"
Listening to the diners' laughter and chatter, Lin Zhou shook his head helplessly.
What flavor do you want?
The customers chuckled and each ordered two.
When Lin Zhou saw the old man climbing the mountain, his eyes lit up instantly.
I never expected so many surprises today.
He told the old man this morning that he was selling steamed buns at a stall in Huaguo Mountain, and the old man came to patronize his business in the evening. He's such a kind person!
It gives you the feeling that what he said is valued and taken to heart.
"Grandpa, when did you arrive? How long have you been waiting? Just come and find me when you get here."
The old man is not young, and Lin Zhou said with a mixture of joy and worry, wondering how long he had been standing in line.
"It's alright, I'm in great shape. Cutting in line isn't a good habit when doing business. Give me two steamed buns to try."
Lin Zhou smiled and took two steamed buns from the steamer and handed them over.
"Don't pay, it's my treat. It's just two steamed buns, don't be shy."
The old man ignored him and gestured to the driver next to him to pay.
The driver accompanied the elderly man climbing the mountain to queue, knew the price of the steamed buns, and quickly scanned the code to pay fifteen yuan.
Lin Zhou shook his head helplessly.
The old man climbing the mountain didn't stop him from doing business; he greeted them, took the steamed buns, and stood aside.
He examined the bun closely.
The white and delicate buns are very soft to hold, and they will spring back when you squeeze them, which gives you an idea of their soft and fluffy texture.
It's late at night, and he's already had dinner; it's not advisable for him to eat more.
I ordered two steamed buns to try.
He picked up the char siu bao and started eating.
Compared to the subtle aroma of red bean paste buns, char siu buns have a richer aroma and beautiful natural cracks, allowing you to peek inside and see the filling.
With one bite, the dough is perfectly soft and smooth, chewy yet tender and delicious, paired with the savory-sweet char siu filling, the taste is very authentic.
Packed with diced meat, carrying the aroma of barbecued charcoal, and paired with the salty and sweet savory sauce, every bite is a delightful surprise, whetting the appetite and making you want to take big bites of the bun in your hand, wishing you could eat it all and savor the deliciousness.
The old man's eyes lit up after he finished eating the char siu bao.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Lin Zhou was one of surprise.
This kid's got some skills.
He wouldn't dare say this bun is the best in the world, but he certainly hasn't eaten a better char siu bun.
Even after finishing the bun, the sweet and savory taste of the char siu was still lingering in his mouth; it was truly an unforgettable bun.
After savoring the memory, he turned his gaze to the red bean bun in his hand.
Take a bite and the aroma of red bean paste will spread throughout your mouth first.
As you chew, the dough of the red bean bun is even softer than that of the char siu bun, with a texture like eating a cloud. Paired with the sweet red bean filling, it's very chewy.
The sweet flavor was amazing, instantly replacing the aroma of the char siu bao in my mouth.
It's as if it instantly transports you from the realm of salty and sweet to a land of sweetness, inexplicably improving your mood.
It's so delicious!
After finishing two steamed buns, the old man couldn't help but sigh.
Judging from his current state, anyone could tell that he is very satisfied with the taste of the steamed buns.
The smile on his lips was undisguised.
"Mr. Zhang, shall we go back now?"
Seeing the elderly man climbing the mountain standing still without giving any instructions, the driver couldn't help but ask.
"Wait, I'll go buy two more steamed buns."
Zhang Jianjun's appetite was completely whetted, and he forgot all about his healthy diet. Now he just wanted to eat a few more steamed buns to satisfy his craving.
Having lived most of my life, I've eaten countless delicious foods.
This is the first time I've ever had such delicious steamed buns. I bought too few!
Then, when he turned around, he saw Lin Zhou packing up his stall.
Lin Zhou noticed his gaze and thought the old man was waiting for him to go back together, so he quickly sped up his packing.
"I'll be done soon."
Zhang Jianjun: ......
"No rush, I'll wait for you."
The old man licked his lips and sighed regretfully.
You didn't buy enough!
If I had known it was this delicious, I wouldn't have thought about being healthy and would have eaten less at night.
