Chapter 9: The address was correct, but the time was wrong.



He would take a quick bite of a steamed bun whenever he encountered a traffic light.

I ate breakfast on the way to the company.

When I arrived at the company, I had just sat down when I felt a resentful gaze coming from next door, a gaze that felt very real.

Wen Nan shivered and shuddered, looking at Xiao Wang.

"What's up so early in the morning?"

Xiao Wang immediately got angry when he saw Xiao Wang's inexplicable expression.

He roared in grief and anger, "How dare you ask that!"

"Didn't you say you bought the steamed buns at Huaguoshan Park? I went there and looked around, and there wasn't a single steamed bun, not even a fart!"

Wen Nan was taken aback and instinctively wanted to refute.

But the next second, seeing Xiao Wang looking quite angry, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Wait, when did you go to Flower Fruit Mountain?"

"When else could it be? Right before I started work!"

Xiao Wang's resentment at not having made the trip in vain reached its peak at this moment.

Wen Nan: ......

"Didn't I tell you that the steamed bun stall owner only sets up his stall at the entrance of Huaguo Mountain at 8 pm?"

"?"

"!!!"

"You only just told me this important news! I went to buy steamed buns early this morning and came up empty-handed!"

Wen Nan was also innocent; he was in a hurry to eat yesterday and didn't notice this detail.

"You didn't ask!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang closed his eyes speechlessly, took a deep breath, and then exhaled, telling himself not to get angry and not to argue with a fool!

"Brother, is that even a question? You brought steamed buns with you this morning. Besides, whose steamed buns aren't breakfast? It would be strange if you were selling them in the morning and then selling them at the park entrance in the evening!"

Wen Nan thought about it carefully and realized that what he said made a lot of sense.

He hadn't thought of it at all, and therefore hadn't noticed the time difference. So he only got the address right, but the time was wrong, and of course, Xiao Wang couldn't buy the steamed buns when he got there.

"Hehe, Brother Wang, I was wrong. I'll treat you to steamed buns tonight!"

Seeing this huge misunderstanding, Wen Nan coaxed Xiao Wang in a timid manner.

Xiao Wang quickly composed himself.

Then she realized that Wen Nan even knew the time when the steamed bun stall owner set up his stall, so he must have bought steamed buns last night. She looked him up and down with a searching gaze, as if searching for traces of the steamed buns.

Moreover, he could faintly smell the aroma of steamed buns.

Didn't you bring any steamed buns today?

As Wen Nan turned on her computer and prepared to make coffee, she heard Xiao Wang's words and casually replied that she had eaten on the way.

Xiao Wang: "!!!"

The last hope was dashed.

The aftereffects of Xiao Wang waking up early are showing; he's listlessly slumped over his desk, lost in thought.

He didn't pay attention to what Lian Wennan said next.

......

Meanwhile, Lin Zhou returned home after buying the ingredients. Today, he was preparing ingredients for char siu buns and red bean buns.

The task didn't specify what flavor of buns to sell each day, so Lin Zhou just followed his own taste.

We sell whatever flavor you want to eat.

It was still early, so Lin Zhou decided to soak the red beans first.

The red bean paste in red bean buns is the key to their flavor, so Lin Zhou naturally had to make it himself.

The newly bought red beans are a bright red color, each one is round and bright red, with a smooth and shiny skin, and they have a bean-like smell, which means they are very fresh and good quality red beans.

Upon closer inspection, there were no impurities, so I simply poured it into water to wash it clean and let it soak.

It will soften and be ready to cook by the afternoon.

Then Lin Zhou planned to go for a stroll in the hills behind the villa.

He's been in this world for so long, and he's never climbed a mountain yet.

Royal Capital is one of the best villa districts in Jiangdong City. Backed by mountains, the entire mountain is covered with greenery, making it a great place for wealthy people to recuperate and live.

Lin Zhou took a bottle of water and started climbing up the mountain step by step from the foot of the mountain.

The environment was too quiet; I couldn't hear any sounds and didn't encounter anyone.

Lin Zhou thoroughly enjoyed the solitary mountain climbing experience.

As he climbed higher and higher, his body gradually felt tired, and only then did he feel alive again.

Perhaps it was due to sudden death in a past life.

Having adapted to life in the new world, Lin Zhou began to pay attention to exercise.

He climbed all the way to the pavilion halfway up the mountain. He could still persevere even though he didn't see any place to rest at first, but now that he saw the pavilion, he couldn't help but go over to rest.

I didn't expect that this mountain, which didn't look very high, would be so tall once I started climbing it.

It's probably a visual error.

Even at just past eight o'clock in the middle of summer, the sun already feels hot.

Lin Zhou felt his short-sleeved shirt soaked with sweat and was starting to have second thoughts.

Physical exercise isn't something that can be achieved overnight; you have to take it slowly and not rush it.

After giving himself a few words of advice, Lin Zhou swung his legs and started walking down the mountain.

As I was walking, I heard footsteps behind me and was immediately startled.

The place was so quiet, there wasn't a soul in sight. Where did the footsteps come from?

Lin Zhou turned around abruptly and saw an old man in sportswear walking down the mountain.

He looks to be over sixty years old. Although his hair is white, he is in good spirits.

The muscles in the exposed calves and arms are visible.

He explained that he was stronger than others.

"Young man, are you here to climb the mountain too?"

The old man seemed quite pleased to see Lin Zhou and came over to greet him with a smile.

Lin Zhou was no longer afraid when he saw that it was a person.

Those who can afford to climb this mountain must be residents of the villa area.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get in.

"Yes."

The old man smiled and looked Lin Zhou up and down.

He climbed to the top of the mountain and came down, only meeting Lin Zhou halfway down the mountain together.

This confirms that the young man did not reach the summit.

"Young man, your stamina isn't good. You came down the mountain before you even reached the top."
