Dad Gu pulled Gu Chengyu and hurried to the city gate. On the way, he passed a steamed bun shop, "They sell steamed buns! They sell steamed buns! Fragrant and big steamed buns! Sir, can you give me two? Keep them for you to eat.
I still want to eat. Three cents for a big meat bun!" The waiter at the bun shop yelled hard, and just now two people entered the bun shop.
When Gu Chengyu heard the shouts of the bun seller and smelled the fragrance of the buns, he felt empty in his stomach, so he pulled Dad Gu to stop. "Dad, let's buy some buns! I'm hungry. Come out today."
It’s early, it’s already noon, and I haven’t eaten yet!”
"Oh! If you don't tell me, I forgot how many steamed buns your mother still has! Are you greedy and want to eat steamed buns? I'll buy you two and I'll eat the steamed buns with your big brother." Gu
Dad can also understand how a little kid can stand the smell of steamed buns?
"Brother, here are two meat buns." Father Gu didn't say much to Gu Chengyu, but turned around and ordered the waiter to pack two meat buns.
"Dad, buy some more! I'll buy them for you and my eldest brother too. It's a rare trip to the county. What's the point of eating two buns?" How can he eat if he only buys two?
"Brother, here are four more!" As for taking them back, don't think about it. The steamed buns in ancient times were made honestly and huge. Yao bought more than a dozen and brought them back. Not to mention the waste of effort on their part, they must have done it.
It was all flattened when I got home, so I might as well buy some pastries and go back.
"Okay! It's your favor! It's eighteen coppers in total." The waiter wrapped the buns and gave the Gu family a quote in a long tone. Father Gu counted out eighteen copper coins from his body and gave them to the waiter.
"Okay, let's go! We spent a lot of money today! We can't go shopping any more." Father Gu calculated the money spent in the county with distress, and felt that it was more than what his family had spent in two years.
This prodigal child needs to be taken away immediately.
"Dad, after we eat the steamed buns, let's bring some food to mom and the others! Didn't the second sister want to eat cloud cakes last time? I'll buy her some other delicious pastries this time." Gu Chengyu thought about the past two days.
Gu Wan is still angry with him! Now he can coax her when he goes back.
"Everything in this county is expensive! It's better to go to the town to buy it!"
"Okay, let's go now!" Although there are definitely more varieties of pastries in the county, my eldest brother is still waiting! He has to go back to town first.
At the gate of the county town, Gu Chengli and the old man driving the car were waiting a little impatiently. "Nephew, when will your father and the others come? The hour promised has been a long time now, and I don't know when they will come. Old man, I still want to come."
I have to go back to pick up people! If you don’t come back, I will leave!”
"I don't know either! They said they'll be right back after buying something. Hey~ here it comes, here it comes, look, it's coming this way." Gu Chengli breathed a sigh of relief, he found that he and Xiaobao could really go shopping.
.
"Dad, why are you here? Get on the bullock cart quickly. We are going back, or are we going to my aunt's house?"
"Ahem! You bought something, are you coming back now? I won't go to your aunt's house today. It's too late. I'll go another day." Father Gu was also a little embarrassed for making people wait for so long. "Old man
Brother, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting."
"It's okay to wait, let's go, then?" Seeing Father Gu sincerely apologizing, the old man didn't have much to say.
"Brother, please deliver it to our home! It's not far away, just to Shangling Village. How about I give you fifty coins?" Father Gu thought that it would be too late to go back anyway, so he might as well take the bullock cart.
Hurry up, Dad Gu took out fifty coins and held it in his hand.
When the old man who drove the carriage saw the copper coins, how could he refuse? When did he earn so much in one day? He made eighty and a half cents in one day! If he goes back and tells his wife, she will be extremely happy. "That's it.
According to my brother, come up quickly!"
"Dad, eat the buns quickly! If you don't eat them, you'll get cold." As the ox cart started on the road, Gu Chengyu reminded his father to eat the buns.
Father Gu took out the buns and gave one to Gu Chengyu. He took another and handed it to Gu Chengli, "Boss, eat it! Are you hungry already?" He didn't eat it himself, so he wrapped the buns again and wrapped them in a small cloth.
He took out a nest and opened his mouth to chew it.
"Dad! I can just eat the steamed buns. You can eat the steamed buns!" Gu Chengli felt flattered. He could still eat the steamed buns? He saw his father holding the steamed buns and wanted to nibble on them. He quickly refused, but his father was still eating the steamed buns.
Where is the nest! He can still eat steamed buns? Isn’t that unfilial?
"Dad, we bought it a long time ago, you can eat it! If you don't eat it, my eldest brother and I won't eat it either." If his father didn't eat it, it would be tasteless to him.
"Eat your food quickly! Who said I don't eat steamed buns?" Father Gu was somewhat pleased with his son's filial piety, but he also knew that if he didn't eat it, neither would his two sons.
Gu Chengyu saw that his father had also eaten the buns, so he took the first bite. The fresh and salty texture filled his taste buds. The skin of the buns was a bit thin. When he took a bite, the meat filling inside was leaking with oil. Although the meat filling was fat,
There is a lot of meat, but it is not greasy. In ancient times, when buying meat, you had to buy fatty meat, and pork belly was the best meat. No one bought lean meat, because lean meat cannot be fried, and farmers do not often eat pork, so it is naturally fat.
The meat oil was so delicious. Gu Chengyu couldn't wait to bite it, wow! How could these buns be so delicious! Even a few years later, he would still remember the deliciousness of the county buns.
Gu Chengli often saw shops selling steamed buns when he went to town, but he had never bought one before, and he didn't know that steamed buns were so delicious. They were made from white flour! The meat filling inside was also delicious.
By now, all three of them were actually hungry, and Gu Chengyu was the first to finish the buns. He looked up and saw that Father Gu and the others hadn't finished yet, and seemed to be savoring them in small bites. "Dad, brother, eat quickly!"
There are two for each person!" In fact, he was quite full after eating one bun, and he planned to save another bun for his mother.
"Brother, have you had lunch? If not, there are some steamed buns here. Do you want to try one?" Father Gu then remembered that the old man driving the bus didn't know whether he had eaten or not. They always wanted to eat steamed buns here.
Ask people if they have eaten?
"No, no, I've already eaten while I'm waiting for you. People like us, who bring water and water with us every day, how can we spend money to eat out?" The old man driving the bus had actually smelled it a long time ago.
The smell of the Gu family's steamed buns aroused the greed in his stomach, but these steamed buns cost three cents each! It's not cheap, and it doesn't cost anyone money, right? He swallowed the saliva in his mouth and decided to take two with him when he went back.
, let the old lady try it too.
Father Gu stopped being polite to him, gave one of the remaining buns to Gu Chengli, and asked for the other to give to Gu Chengyu.
"Dad! I'm full, you go ahead and eat! I'm a little kid and have a small appetite. One meal is enough."
"Didn't you just say you were hungry? Why just eat one? Be good! Eat one more. Only when you eat more can you grow stronger!" Father Gu frowned when he saw Gu Chengyu's small appetite. Xiaobao's appetite
It's not okay to always be small. A boy must be able to eat and grow strong.
"Dad, I'm so full!" Gu Chengyu tried to eat until he was eighty percent full. Eating too much made his stomach full.
"Okay, I'll keep yours for you. When you want to eat them, ask your mother to heat them up for you." Father Gu wrapped the remaining two buns back.
Gu Chengli held the bun in his hand and hesitated for a moment, "Dad, I won't eat it either, just put it away!"
Dad Gu glanced at the eldest son and said, "You are responsible for your buns. You can handle it yourself." In fact, he knew that the eldest brother wanted to take the buns back for his children to eat. If he took the buns back, he would probably not be able to bring in his grandchildren.
If his stomach is full, then let him take it back to the room by himself. If Mrs. Lu doesn't know about it, nothing will happen to him.
"Hey! Thank you, Dad!" Gu Chengli knew that he had to keep it by himself, so that the children could have a bite of the buns when they got home. It was a pity that he had eaten the buns just now and didn't keep any of them. It was also his fault that he was greedy.
