N-M Chapter 21 BUFF Takes Effect
Chapter 21 BUFF Takes Effect
Chen Yuan gave a brief introduction.
This old man seemed quite picky, but surprisingly, he was very quick to pay.
I took out my phone and scanned the QR code almost without thinking.
"Give me eight steamed buns, my family is large, and four cups of soy milk."
After paying, the old man didn't rush to leave; instead, he spoke very seriously.
"Young man, I know you want to make money, but you can't cheat people to make money. Beauty-enhancing soy milk, huh? If soy milk could beautify you, why would we need bird's nest and shark fin soup?"
"Let me tell you, when you're young, you have to be down-to-earth and don't get involved in these fancy things; they're useless!"
The old man's tone wasn't offensive; it was as if he were genuinely giving advice to a younger person.
"Don't let my age fool you with my talkativeness; I was young once too, and I was way more eccentric than you back then."
"So I advise you to focus on doing business honestly and remove that beauty filter."
"If you happen to encounter someone with ulterior motives who uses those two words to cause trouble, you'll be in real trouble!"
After saying that, the old man picked up the birdcage and walked away with a flourish.
The old man's long-winded talk was overheard by the other aunties selling steamed buns, and they all gathered together and laughed for a while.
"When he was young, Old He was quite the expert at raising birds in cages. Now that he's old, he's advising young people to do good. It really is true that fortunes change."
"That's right. I've known He Xiaochun since he was young. He was famous throughout the factory area. There are many stories about him."
Another aunt said to Chen Yuan.
"Young man, don't mind him. That's just how this old man talks. He can't stand it if he doesn't tease you a bit. He'll teach anyone a lesson."
After saying that, the aunt covered her mouth, trying hard not to laugh out loud.
"Sometimes we tease him, so we call him Teacher He."
the other side.
He Xiaochun, as everyone called him, was carrying a birdcage in one hand and steamed buns and soy milk in the other.
Not in a hurry at all, I leisurely made my way home.
As soon as he got home, he put steamed buns and soy milk on the dining table, and then he started to take care of the bird, feeding it water and grooming its feathers.
He Xiaochun's son got married less than a year ago and brought his wife home to stay yesterday.
They had just gotten out of bed and saw food on the table. Without waiting to see if the two elderly people had eaten or not, they sat down and started eating.
He Xiaochun's wife brought out a bowl of boiled eggs from the kitchen.
She then brought out a bowl of pickled vegetables that she had made herself.
He placed it on the table and then shouted at the top of his lungs towards He Xiaochun outside the house.
"All you ever do is mess with your lousy bird. Come in and eat! We have something for you to do after you finish eating!"
He Xiaochun rolled her eyes outside and then came inside.
After washing his hands, he sat down and crossed his legs.
At that moment, he saw his son and daughter-in-law frantically munching on steamed buns, not even having time to say a word. Feeling dissatisfied, he clicked his tongue.
"I've never seen any family where the younger generation starts eating before the older generation; it's really the opposite of the natural order."
He Xiaochun's son also ignored him.
Instead, he turned to his mother beside him and said...
"Mom, you have to try these buns, they're so delicious!"
"When did we get such delicious steamed buns here? They smell so good! I've never tasted anything like this before. The meat is so fresh, so tender and flavorful."
The daughter-in-law beside her nodded vigorously, stuffing buns into her mouth repeatedly.
"Mom and Dad, you should both try these! They're really delicious. Dad, where did you buy them?"
"The vegan breakfast shop run by that crazy old woman at the entrance has changed hands, but the storefront remains the same. A young man has taken over, and he's not very reliable, but at least the place is quite clean."
He Xiaochun didn't even lift his eyelids when he said this.
"Hurry up and try this soy milk. He said it's really good for your skin, and he even made a soy milk called something like 'Beauty Soy Milk,' but I think it's just nonsense."
"Why are young people these days so unreliable? They're not even as good as we were back then."
"Back in the day..."
It looked like He Xiaochun was about to start rambling on and on again.
His wife quickly inserted a straw into the soy milk, shoved it into He Xiaochun's hand, and said irritably.
"Hurry up and eat, even food can't shut you up."
At this point, the daughter-in-law also felt that the steamed bun was a bit dry, so she took a cup of soy milk to smooth it out.
"My skin has been feeling really dry these past couple of days, tight and itchy all the time. I'll try this soy milk; if it works, I'll buy it every day starting tomorrow."
He Xiaochun rolled her eyes as she sipped her soy milk.
"Is there even a question? As long as it works, I'll twist my head off..."
He Xiaochun's wife glared at him fiercely, and he didn't dare to finish his sentence. He could only say it sheepishly.
"Alright, I won't say anything more. Hurry up and eat, so you two can go to work after you finish eating."
As they were talking, the daughter-in-law ate most of a cup of soy milk.
"I must say, the aroma of this soy milk is incredibly rich and mellow, just like the soy milk my grandma used to make when I was a child, and it doesn't have any beany smell at all."
She took another big sip and sighed contentedly, "It's definitely freshly ground! There's no grainy texture at all, it's as smooth as silk, it slides right down my throat as soon as it enters my mouth, it's really delicious."
What surprised her even more after she finished the cup of soy milk was...
My skin really wasn't so tight anymore, and my cheeks, which were a bit dry and itchy before, had returned to normal.
It feels smooth and supple to the touch.
"Hey? Mom, you should try this. This soy milk seems to be really good for the skin. After I drank it, my skin felt so hydrated and supple, and it didn't feel uncomfortable at all."
After hearing this, He Xiaochun's wife said, "Is it really that strange?"
But after drinking a cup of soy milk, she was also somewhat surprised.
"Hey, you know what, I also think my skin looks a bit better than before."
He Xiaochun said, "Is it really that miraculous? It's just a cup of soy milk, how can it be a magic pill?"
He Xiaochun's son, who was standing nearby, had the same opinion after finishing his drink.
He Xiaochun shut up completely.
Time passed second by second.
Chen Yuan's two hundred servings of soy milk and four hundred steamed buns have all been sold out.
Because the alarm clock didn't go off, Xu Wen and Xu Jingjing, who arrived late, were heartbroken to see the empty tray.
Xu Wen said, "Handsome boss, are you sure there aren't any more?"
Chen Yuan shrugged helplessly: "We really don't have any left. Look, we've used up all the materials."
Xu Jingjing's face also betrayed her disappointment.
Just then, his sharp eyes spotted the packaged steamed buns and soy milk inside the room.
"Boss, aren't there still some left?"
Chen Yuan glanced at her fingertips and said apologetically.
"This was reserved in advance by my junior sister."
Speaking of which...
The beautiful figure in the distance flew over like a butterfly.
Chen Yuan pointed with his chin.
"She's here."
