"Two cents for vegetarian filling, three cents for meat filling."
"Ten of the minced meat."
"Hey!"
When the shop owner heard this, he quickly wrapped ten meat buns in oil paper and handed them to Mengyue.
Mengyue took a steaming hot bun and took a bite. The aroma she had smelled before spread in her mouth, satisfying the desire of her taste buds.
Even though Mengyue has a picky palate, she still thinks the buns taste good and is sure to like them.
After eating one, Mengyue stopped eating and put the remaining buns into the space, leaving them for Tuanzi so that he could eat them when he woke up.
Fortunately, the space has a fresh-keeping effect. No matter what she puts in, when she takes it out again, it will be the same as when she first put it in.
For example, when you put the hot meat buns into the space and wait for Tuanzi to eat them, the taste will be the same as when you just bought them, and there will be no change in the taste. This makes Mengyue quite satisfied.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard a voice begging for help.
"Boss, please, my son is starving to death, please give me a bun!"
"Get lost, this is my business, not Fu Shan Tang."
"Please, I kowtow to you, please save my son, please."
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Just by hearing the sound, Mengyue knew that the woman must have blood on her forehead.
Sure enough, when I turned around, I saw a woman in tattered clothes with a skinny child lying beside her, who looked like he was only breathing his last breath.
In the end, the bun shop owner said he would report the matter to the police, which scared the woman away.
However, she saw the owner of the bun shop gave the woman two buns in a place where no one else could see.
In fact, the bun shop owner is not heartless, but he knows that once he shows kindness, people who are watching nearby will swarm over and ask him for food.
He runs a small business selling steamed buns. He works from dawn to dusk every day, but he can only barely keep his family well fed and clothed. He has no more money.
How could he afford to do charity all the time? If he started it, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to keep it up for long and the bun shop would have to close.
It's not that he can't afford two buns, it's just that more and more people have come to the county to beg recently. I heard that there was a flood in the south, and these people are all refugees.
If the government doesn't intervene, and the number of refugees gradually increases and they all come out to beg, he will probably have to consider closing his shop temporarily and resuming his business after the refugees are settled.
No one else saw that the bun shop owner gave the woman two buns, but Mengyue saw it clearly.
Seeing other beggars on the street, Mengyue seemed to be lost in thought.
At this time, two local people from the county town were talking on the road.
"Hey, have you heard? There's a flood in Guangping Prefecture in the south."
"Hiss, true or false."
"Of course it's true. Many people lost their homes in the floods. In desperation, they left their hometowns and embarked on the road to escape the famine. Many people came to our county."
"Hearing you say that, I'm confused. Why are there so many strangers coming to the county recently? It turns out they're all fleeing from the south."
"Yeah, I don't know what the government's policy is towards refugees. If they don't do anything, our county might be in chaos."
"Shh, stop talking nonsense, you want to get arrested."
"Hey, I'm not just telling you this. We should buy more food. You never know when the price might go up."
"Yes, I originally only planned to buy two kilograms, but now it seems I need to buy two more kilograms."
"I have a large family, so I plan to buy a thousand kilograms."
"Oh, so many."
"There's no other way. There are more than a dozen people, young and old, who all need to eat. I have to buy more."
"Oh, I would like to buy more, but I don't have that much money."
When the other person heard about the money, he stopped talking and just urged the other person to go to the grain store quickly.
