"Ah... open your little mouth a bit wider."
"Very good, now stretch out your little hands."
"So well-behaved, go to the classroom now..."
Having completed her daily morning check, Xuanxuan, with her little backpack, took small steps and headed obediently to the classroom.
"Xuanxuan..."
A joyful shout rang out from behind her.
She stopped, turned around, and saw her good friend Qianqian running over, immediately flashing a joyful smile: "Qianqian!"
"Xuanxuan!"
Qianqian stretched out her arms and came up to meet her.
The two reunited little ones hugged each other tightly, bouncing and jumping, extremely happy.
Joyful smiles spread across the faces of the two little ones.
"Xuanxuan, I'll tell you a secret! But you can't tell anyone else!" Qianqian whispered softly into Xuanxuan's little ear.
"What secret? I promise I won't tell anyone."
She blinked her curious big eyes, nodding like a pecking bird.
"I'll tell you, I wet the bed last night while I was sleeping, and my mom scolded me, saying I'm already four or five, still wetting the bed, and called me a baby."
Qianqian pouted her little lips: "She also told me to drink less water before bed, but I drink water, not pee! Peeing isn't my fault."
"Xuanxuan, don't you agree?"
Xuanxuan: ◔_◔
Well... maybe...
But maybe... not really...
Because when she used to wet the bed, her dad would also tell her not to drink much water before sleeping.
Ever since she drank less water before bed, she's never wet the bed while sleeping.
So, what Qianqian said isn't entirely right.
"Qianqian, I'm not sure if you're right, but your mom is probably correct, because my dad also said something like that."
Is that how it is?
I don't get it!
"Forget it, let's not think about it, let's go to the classroom..."
"Okay."
The two little ones held hands and went to the classroom. While putting down her backpack, Xuanxuan remembered her pan-fried buns.
"Qianqian, these are pan-fried buns my dad made. They're super, super delicious. I specifically brought them for you to try."
"Wow, the pan-fried buns your dad made smell so good~"
Qianqian looked at the golden buns, like cute little yellow balls, and couldn't help but drool at the aroma.
Even though she just ate to her fill, she's hungry again!
Took a bite.
Mmm mmm mmm~
So delicious~
In the classroom.
There were already quite a few classmates, some reading picture books, others playing with toys.
Some students with a keen sense of smell suddenly said while playing: "Smells so good..."
The faint aroma that wafted through the air seemed to become stronger with the unintended reminder.
"Yeah yeah, it smells really good!"
"It's a meaty smell..."
Even the students engrossed in their picture books stopped.
While enjoying his sandwich, Haohao smelled the tantalizing aroma and suddenly found his sandwich not as fragrant.
The classroom was only so big, no one else was eating, so they looked to the storage area by the door and found the source of the aroma.
"It's Qianqian eating pan-fried buns!"
"And Xuanxuan..."
Suddenly, the two became the envy of the classmates.
A few bold classmates approached, staring eagerly at the pan-fried buns in their hands: "Your pan-fried buns smell so good..."
"These are pan-fried buns my dad made, they're super tasty, I'm telling you, my dad opened a pan-fried bun shop..." Xuanxuan proudly declared.
"Wow! Your dad can make pan-fried buns, you're so lucky~"
Qiqi and a few other classmates looked at the remaining pan-fried buns in her hand, genuinely praising.
Heaven knows their little tummies were starting to growl.
So tempting!
With her classmates praising her dad, Xuanxuan's heart was naturally brimming with joy.
She generously said, "I have more pan-fried buns, do you want to try some?"
"Really? Can I honestly eat one?"
Qiqi and the others were very surprised when they heard that.
"Sure..."
She tore open the bag and let Qiqi and the others help themselves.
Soon, there were exclamations from the classroom door: "Wow~ this is so delicious..."
After eating, everyone couldn't help but praise.
"Xuanxuan, the pan-fried buns your daddy made are so good! I want a daddy like that too!"
"I'm so jealous, Xuanxuan, you have such a great daddy!"
"Xuanxuan, can we swap daddies, please!!"
Xuanxuan gladly accepted everyone's compliments.
As for her classmates wanting to swap daddies with her, she wouldn't trade for anything!
She thought her daddy was the best daddy in the world.
"Why aren't you all staying in the classroom? What are you doing here?"
Homeroom teacher Ye Wen heard the commotion and came over to investigate.
Oh no!
Caught by the teacher!
The little ones caught red-handed went silent as a mouse.
Afraid of being scolded!
Xuanxuan smiled sweetly: "Teacher, my daddy's shop just opened today. He let me bring some pan-fried buns for classmates and teachers to try. Everyone said they were delicious. Teacher, you should try one, they're very tasty."
"Oh, I see..."
Ye Wen smiled as she listened and, to be polite, declined: "Please thank your daddy for me, but I've already had breakfast. Why don't you let more classmates try them?"
...
At the market.
Huang Tao headed straight for the pork stall.
This time, he planned to increase the quantity.
Seeing the pork stall boss, he went straight to the point: "Boss, give me another ten pounds of pork leg meat, and also ten pounds of beef!"
"Wow, how did you run out so quickly?"
The pork stall owner, Old Wang, looked up at Huang Tao, a bit surprised.
The amount Huang Tao bought wasn't that much here.
But the thing was, his business had just opened this morning, and it wasn't even 7:20 yet, and he was already rushing back for more supplies.
What does this indicate?
This indicates that his opening was lucky and business was booming.
In time, the amount of meat he buys will certainly increase another notch.
This could be a long-term business relationship~
I should take good care of it.
"Congratulations! Let me get that for you."
Old Wang quickly began cutting the meat.
While waiting, Huang Tao chatted with Old Wang: "Boss, see, I've been buying this much pork from you these past couple of days, and I guess I won't be buying any less in the future. Could you deliver it straight to my shop?"
Old Wang's pork stall was decent in size, with a nephew helping out.
You could call it an uncle-nephew duo in business.
Upon hearing what Huang Tao said, Old Wang considered for a few seconds and then agreed: "No problem! I'll have my nephew deliver it to you. The quantity is quite a lot, so it's not easy to carry. How about we add each other on WeChat? You can directly send me what you need and how much via WeChat, and once I prepare it, I'll deliver it to your shop."
"That sounds great! You're such a straightforward person, working with you is pleasing."
Huang Tao hadn't expected such a quick agreement and took out his phone to scan and add on WeChat, saying: "My shop is located in West City Old Street, just walk in and find a sign that says 'So Delicious' at the corner. You'll spot it right away, and thank you in advance for delivering it."
"No problem at all, I'm just glad to have your business at my meat stall!"
Huang Tao smiled: "What about the price? Could it be cheaper?"
"Sure can!"
Old Wang considered a bit: "I can give you a one yuan discount per pound on pork, and two yuan on beef, but no more than that."
"Deal!"
Huang Tao was satisfied with the discount.
He paid without hesitation.
"If you have more things to buy, go get them first. I'll have my nephew deliver everything to your shop with a tricycle later. Save you from carrying it all."
Huang Tao, realizing there was much to buy and with his own electric bike being inconvenient to carry everything, agreed: "Well... thank you..."
"You're welcome, it's a trivial thing..."
Huang Tao then toured other stalls.
Flour, rice, green onions, shiitake mushrooms, preserved eggs, seasonings, and disposable porridge bowls, all procured.
With everything bought.
Huang Tao returned to the pork stall.
"Boss, I've got everything, please help me get it all delivered to the shop."
"Sure! We'll get it to you right away."
Old Wang called over his nephew, Chen Weihao, to help load all the purchased ingredients onto the tricycle.
Chen Weihao drove off first with the tricycle.
Huang Tao followed closely on his electric bike.
