Chapter 320: Chapter 320 Meat Bun Chapter 320: Chapter 320 Meat Bun “Sister, sister, the meat buns smell so good, you should try one quickly,” Chuner said, running back with a few buns, eating one and handing another to Xuexue.
Xiao Gougou also ran back following her, holding a few buns in his hands, extremely excited. This was his first time at the market where he could buy things with his own money. It felt different from the past trips with his mother to the town.
Xuexue played along, biting into the bun that Chuner held. Instantly, a stream of meat juice flowed out. She squinted her eyes intentionally, her face full of enjoyment, “Mmm, it really smells wonderful.”
Chuner immediately giggled gleefully, quite proud of herself, “See, I told you it’s tasty.”
“You only give it to me and not to your Big Bull Brother?” Xuexue teased Chuner. Usually, Chuner adored Big Bull, always saying he was the protector of their home, with him around, no one in the village dared to bully their family.
“Big Bull Brother does the hardest work, he definitely has his share. I’ve got it ready for him,” Chuner said, turning to Xiao Gougou who was behind her, “Xiao Gougou, quickly give the buns to Big Bull Brother.”
Xiao Gougou stepped forward and handed a few warm buns right in front of Big Bull.
“Aw, Chuner, you really play favorites, giving only one to sister and so many to Big Bull Brother,” Xuexue laughed.
“Big Bull Brother picked loads, he needs to eat more,” Chuner said thoughtfully.
“Right, that’s true.”
The group finished their breakfast on the street corner amidst the bustling crowd, after which Big Bull picked up his load and they headed to the market together.
Big Bull asked, “Wife, should we go and sell at the market?”
Xuexue thought for a moment then shook her head, “Let’s not sell at the market, it’s too tiring. Let’s go to Xiaohe Restaurant and ask Shopkeeper Fan if he needs any.”
“Yeah, that sounds good.”
Big Bull nodded in agreement, as the weather was getting increasingly hot. Standing by the roadside for too long made him sweat profusely, the sun blazing hotter every minute, and he didn’t want his wife to suffer.
“Sister, I want to go buy pork lard cakes with Xiao Gougou,” Chuner said, looking at Xuexue with hopeful eyes.
They hadn’t sold the python meat yet, so Xuexue wasn’t in the mood to go buy pork lard cakes. She crouched down, looked at Chuner, and negotiated, “Chuner, sister and Big Bull Brother have to sell the snake meat at the restaurant to have the money to buy pork lard cakes. We’ll go buy them together, okay?”
Chuner tilted her head to think for a moment, “Okay then, but don’t forget to buy pork lard cakes later on, sister.”
“I won’t, if I forget, you can remind me.”
Hearing this, Chuner agreed.
Shopkeeper Fan was sitting in the hall looking through the menu when he saw Xuexue and her group come in and immediately greeted them with a smile, “Aiyo, Miss Mo, Brother Niu, long time no see. I’ve been looking forward to seeing you.”
“I only visit when I need something,” Xuexue replied with a smile.
“Do you have something new again?” Shopkeeper Fan asked, his interest piqued.
Xuexue turned around, looked at Big Bull behind her, waved her hand, and shouted, “Big Bull, quickly bring over the basket for Shopkeeper Fan to see our python meat.”
“Oi! Coming!” Big Bull quickly came forward with the basket, stopping in front of Shopkeeper Fan.
“Python meat?” Shopkeeper Fan was greatly surprised. It was a rare ingredient that not even the wealthy could easily come by, a matter of chance and rarity.
