Chapter 261: A Trip to Hai City (Seventeen)
Not long after, a plate of fragrant steamed buns was placed on Lu Xiaoxiao's table. She picked up the chopsticks, picked one up, brought it to her mouth and took a bite. Instantly, her taste buds were conquered by the steamed bun.
So Lu Xiaoxiao didn't care about the heat and ate the dumplings one bite after another until she had finished all the dumplings on the plate and put down her chopsticks.
Lu Xiaoxiao took out a handkerchief from her bag and wiped her mouth, thinking: "As expected, this is a pan-fried bun that even that big shot likes. It tastes really great."
"Comrade, can I take away your steamed buns?" After wiping her mouth, Lu Xiaoxiao walked to the counter and asked the middle-aged woman who took her order.
"Sure, how many do you want?"
"I want ten servings. Your fried buns are so delicious. I want everyone in my family to have a taste."
"Nannan, you really have good taste. My family's Lao Yang's skill in making steamed buns is inherited from our ancestors. It can be said that everyone in Hai City knows about Lao Yang's steamed buns." The middle-aged woman said proudly.
After hearing what the woman said, Lu Xiaoxiao believed it was true, because her family’s steamed buns were really delicious, otherwise the big shot wouldn’t like them so much that he would let her store continue to operate.
Seeing that Lao Yang had already packed all the pan-fried buns she ordered and placed them on the table, Lu Xiaoxiao asked, "Comrade, how much is the total for eleven pan-fried buns?"
"Eleven dollars and five and a half pounds of meat coupons."
After paying the money, Lu Xiaoxiao carried ten oil-paper buns out of the shop. She looked around and walked into an alley. Then, when no one was around, she put all the dumplings in her hands into the space.
After leaving the alley, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the time and saw that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, so she planned to walk around the area and then take a bus to the flea market at three o'clock.
Lu Xiaoxiao was wandering on the street when she was suddenly attracted by a fragrance. She followed the scent and came to the door of a small shop.
She saw an old man in his sixties with half his hair white kneading dough on the chopping board, so she asked, "Grandpa, what are you doing?"
Xie Bai, who was kneading dough with his head down, suddenly heard someone asking him a question, so he raised his head and replied, "Crab shell yellow."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard the three words "crab shell roe", she was instantly excited, because in her previous life she had heard others say how delicious crab shell roe was, and she had wanted to try it once for a long time, but later she had never been able to do so for many reasons.
She had never thought that the thing she had wanted to eat in her previous life but never had, would now be available to her. So Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the old man excitedly and asked, "Grandpa, do you have any crab shell yellow for sale?"
After hearing what the little girl said, Xie Bai wanted to say no, but when he looked up and saw the desire in the little girl's eyes, the words on his lips became: "Yes, how many do you want?"
Lu Xiaoxiao became even more excited after hearing what Xie Bai said, so she said loudly: "Ten."
After hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's "ten", Xie Bai regretted agreeing to sell her the crab shell yellow, because all the crab shell yellow he made had to be supplied to the supply and marketing cooperative.
He was limited to the amount he could make in a day, and could only make a hundred. Now that ten were missing, he didn't know how to explain to the people at the supply and marketing cooperative. He couldn't tell them that he sold them to a little girl because he was soft-hearted.
Lu Xiaoxiao had no idea of Xie Bai's inner struggle. She took the oil paper bag that Xie Bai handed to her, paid the money, and left with a jump.
