Chapter 474 Eating Buns
At this time, Xiao Wu just walked out of the drug store and planned to go to the street food stall to eat something.
As he was walking forward, he suddenly saw Hu Yu Niang walking towards him. He was immediately attracted by her charm and couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
Hu Yu Niang pretended to be surprised when she saw Xiao Wu, "Hey~ Isn't this Brother Xiao Wu? What are you going to do?"
Xiao Wu quickly straightened his expression and scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "It's Shopkeeper Yu. I'm going to get something to eat. Where are you going?"
"I'm not busy at the shop today, so I steamed some meat buns. I was thinking of sending them to my neighbors to try, and I didn't expect to run into you. It seems you really deserve this favor. Come, try my meat buns and see if they suit your taste."
Xiao Wu was stunned. In the past, when he saw Hu Yu Niang, she always spoke coldly to him and was serious. But today, she was smiling, and even her eyes were smiling.
He was puzzled and said cautiously, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Yu. I won't eat it. You should give it to the neighbors!"
"Oh, look at you, why are you being so polite to your sister? Come and try it." Hu Yu Niang said as she took out a bun from the bamboo basket and put it to Xiao Wu's mouth.
Xiao Wu looked at the buns handed to him and his face turned red. He had never been teased like this before and was a little overwhelmed. He was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly.
"Yu, Shopkeeper Yu, this is embarrassing. I'd better eat it myself!"
Hu Yu Niang held the bun in her hand without moving. She smiled and glared at him, "Why are you being so polite to your sister? Eat quickly. My hand is almost stiff."
"Okay, okay, I'll eat it then." Xiao Wu opened his mouth and took a bite of the bun, nodding repeatedly, "This meat bun is so fragrant and delicious."
Hu Yu Niang blinked at him and said in a sweet voice, "If you want to eat my meat buns, just come find me. I will definitely let you eat as much as you want."
"What? What did you say, Manager Yu?" Xiao Wu was stunned.
Hu Yu Niang covered her mouth and smiled, "What are you doing? I'm just teasing you. Hurry up and eat. There's more here."
Xiaowu looked a little disappointed. He took the meat bun she handed over and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Hu Yu Niang was always observing Xiao Wu's facial expression. Seeing that he was silent, she felt that the time had come and asked softly,
"Brother Xiaowu, if I remember correctly, you used to come to my store often to buy things, but why haven't I seen you in the past few months? Do you think the things I sell are too expensive?"
Xiao Wu waved his hands repeatedly and quickly swallowed the bun in his mouth. "No, the things in your shop are not expensive at all. I recently changed to a pharmacy to learn skills. The business is so good and the doctor is very skilled. I wanted to take the opportunity to learn more skills, so I didn't have time to visit you."
"Being an apprentice is tiring work. You must take good care of your health. A hardworking young man like you will surely have a great future."
"Manager Yu, you are too kind. I am just a poor boy. How can I achieve anything great? As long as I can fill my stomach, I will be content."
"Don't say that about yourself. I, Yu Niang, am very good at judging people." Hu Yu Niang said with a smile, then changed the subject, "Xiao Wu, you are not young anymore, why don't you get married?"
Xiao Wu shook his head helplessly, "My family is poor, what girl would want to suffer with me?"
"Look at what you're saying, as if poor people can't get married." Hu Yu Niang glared at him angrily. "I just think you're a good person. If you're willing, I'd like to introduce you to a girl."
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, "Really Shopkeeper Yu? Which girl are you talking about? Do I know her?"
Hu Yu Niang covered her mouth with her hands and smiled. "Look at how impatient you are. You'll know when we meet. How about this, when you get home from work tonight, go directly to my grocery store and I'll arrange for you to meet that girl."
"What? Meeting in the evening? This, this is not good, right?"
"Look at you, you're so stubborn. Why can't we meet at night? If you two are really in love, I'll help you make it happen. The matter has been settled, and even if the girl doesn't want to, she'll have to agree to the marriage."
"No, this behavior is too vulgar. I can't do something worse than an animal." Xiao Wu was so scared that he kept shaking his head and waving his hands.
Seeing this, Hu Yu Niang raised her hand and gently tapped his forehead. Her words were words of reprimand, but her tone was particularly gentle. "Look at you, you're so silly. What are you thinking about? I'm just teasing you. Even if you want to do that, I won't agree."
When Xiao Wu heard this, he felt his bones go soft and a warm current kept running back and forth in his body. He really wanted to hug Hu Yu Niang in front of him in the street and squeeze her to his heart's content.
But he didn't dare. He swallowed hard, clearing away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and chuckled foolishly, "I knew that Shopkeeper Yu was teasing me. What girl would be willing to marry a poor boy?"
"I'm not kidding you. If you want, come to my place after work tonight."
"Shopkeeper Yu, are you serious?" Xiao Wu looked puzzled.
Hu Yu Niang winked playfully, "This is a great thing in life, why would I lie to you!"
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I will definitely go tonight."
"It's settled then. Don't keep me waiting in vain." After saying that, Hu Yu Niang threw a coquettish glance at Xiao Wu and turned away.
Xiaowu's heart was pounding. My God, this is not a woman, she is simply a charming little goblin!
He watched Hu Yu Niang's receding figure until she was completely out of sight, and only then did he come to his senses.
He was no longer hungry, so he turned around and went back to Jishidiang.
Ever since meeting Hu Yu Niang, Xiao Wu has been absent-minded the entire afternoon, his mind full of thoughts about which girl she wanted to introduce to him.
Could she be the daughter of Wang Laohao, who runs the dim sum shop across from her store?
Impossible, his daughter is already taken, and I heard the wedding is next month.
Is that the daughter of Liu Da Nao Tou who runs the teahouse?
It is even more impossible. Although Liu Da Nao's daughter is not good-looking, Liu Da Nao is too ambitious and wants to find a rich and handsome young man for his daughter.
Could it be the girl from Sun Quezi’s family?
Don't talk about how ugly Sun Quezi's daughter is, the key is that she is a bit out of place.
If it really is her, then Hu Yu Niang is really not a human being.
It's not certain whether she is Old Zhang's daughter. She would be very pretty and charming, like a bunch of water chestnuts. If I could marry a girl like that, I would be very satisfied in my life...
The more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and he wished time would pass quickly.
After finally waiting until closing time, he hurriedly packed up and headed towards Hu Yu Niang's grocery store in the west of the town.
At this time, Hu Yu Niang had already prepared a table of wine and food.
She put on some rouge and powder, feeling secretly proud of herself. With her pretty face, she didn't believe that the greenhorn wouldn't fall for it.
As I was thinking about it, I saw Xiaowu walked in excitedly.
"Shopkeeper Yu, I'm here."
