The meal ended with Xiao Bei Chang Tan crying and laughing.
The little one even insisted on washing the dishes, and Xia Tian nodded and let her.
After washing the dishes, Xiao Bei Chang Tan scurried over to Xia Tian's room. As she stepped out of the room, she turned around, her eyes looking at the empty wooden house, and said in a well-behaved manner:
"I'm going out~~"
(Grandma, I'm going to work. Today I have a very very very nice boss brother.)
When Xiao Bei Chang Tan returned to Xia Tian's side,
Xia Tian had already rolled out his three carts, and the signboards on the carts had automatically changed to Dimension Buns.
"Tan Tan, you take this side, we're going to work now."
Xia Tian lifted Xiao Bei Chang Tan onto the passenger seat. He found that she was very light, even lighter than some three-year-old children, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
"Hmm."
Sitting on the tricycle, Xiao Bei Chang Tan's big, watery eyes were full of curiosity.
She had seen tricycles in Mistaneel Town, but this was her first time riding one.
The things in the city were both familiar and strange to Xiao Bei Chang Tan. The town also had some similar things, but the level of prosperity was nowhere near that of the city.
Life in the town was already tiring, and life in the big city must be even more tiring. But thinking that she could have three meals a day, her little face was filled with determination again.
She must help her brother work hard and be worthy of her three meals a day. She thought with full vigor.
It was the time for people to go to work and school. Students in groups of three or four were gathered at the school gate, and their youthful exuberance made Xia Tian feel nostalgic.
However, they were not Xia Tian's target group. These students usually eat breakfast at home, only office workers don't have time to eat at home.
This school was large, and there should be a lot of office worker teachers. Xia Tian thought that selling 200 buns a day shouldn't be a problem.
He asked the nearby ice milk vendor, who said that there was no one near him who could set up a stall. Xia Tian didn't hesitate and started working.
He unfolded the tricycle, and the steamer baskets of buns were stacked layer upon layer.
He added water, lit the fire, and started steaming.
"Brother, what do I do?"
Xiao Bei Chang Tan couldn't help with any of these tasks and stood aside, feeling helpless and about to cry.
"Tan Tan, you help me put the folding chairs in place. You watch here, and when the buns are steamed, you can greet the customers."
Hearing that she had work to do, little Xiao Bei Chang Tan smiled sweetly and nodded, "Okay~"
Xiao Bei Chang Tan couldn't stay still. Sitting on the chair, she would look at the steamer, then at the crowd, her little feet swaying back and forth.
The milk vendor next door came over to talk to him after he finished his work.
"Is she your daughter? She's so cute!"
"No, she's my sister."
"Is there such a big age difference?" The vendor couldn't help but look at Xiao Bei Chang Tan. She was really cute, and he couldn't help but want to look at her more.
"No, what are you trying to do, Uncle?"
Xia Tian quickly pulled Xiao Bei Chang Tan behind him, not allowing the vendor to see her.
It wasn't that Xia Tian was suspicious, but this little one attracted too much attention.
Seeing this, the vendor felt wronged. He really had no bad intentions. He just thought the little girl was very cute. He had a daughter, too.
The vendor hurriedly took out his phone, "Young man, look, look, I have a wife and children. My wife is pregnant with a second child. I just wanted to ask what kind of food your mother ate to give birth to a little sister. I want to see if I can copy the formula."
Xia Tian: "..."
"Hmm? This little sister is so cute!"
A young female teacher who was passing by stopped in front of Xiao Bei Chang Tan.
The female teacher had long black hair, delicate features, and a professional shirt that looked slightly neat.
She is indeed a great teacher!
Xia Tian looked over, and he recognized the female teacher at first glance. It was Pingzuka Shizuka, who was known as the Great Teacher and Quietly Cute.
Pingzuka Shizuka squatted down and straightened Xiao Bei Chang Tan's clothes.
This little sister was both cute and pitiful.
Men really can't handle children. The bow tie on her dress was tied crookedly, and the little one wasn't wearing shoes. The guy didn't even notice.
Feeling Pingzuka Shizuka's kindness, Xiao Bei Chang Tan stood still and obediently, showing a big smile. She also warmly greeted her:
"Sister is very pretty, too. Do you want to buy some buns?"
This smile made Pingzuka Shizuka's heart melt!
"She's even cuter when she smiles. She's like a little angel!"
Pingzuka Shizuka helped her tie the bow tie straight and said to Xia Tian with a hint of reproach, "You're her brother. Even if you're in a hurry, you shouldn't forget to put on your sister's shoes. Luckily, it's spring and not cold, or her little feet would have frozen."
She sighed, every family has its own difficulties. This man took his little sister out to set up a stall, which must be due to financial difficulties.
As someone who has trouble getting out of bed, she naturally doesn't have time to eat breakfast at home. She originally planned to buy a bread sandwich or something to hold her over, but seeing this situation, she wanted to support the little boss.
Even though she's a 月光族, a bread sandwich isn't that expensive, right?
"Boss, how much are the buns? I'll take two."
Pingzuka Shizuka said without hesitation, standing up and taking out her wallet to pay.
"Five hundred Dan each."
"......"
How much? Five hundred Dan for a bun?
Pingzuka Shizuka fell silent. For a moment, she thought she had misheard. Seeing the price list next to the signboard, she was speechless.
Although money is becoming less and less valuable now, a bun for 500 Dan is really too much.
Xiao Bei Chang Tan was also stunned. Are the prices in the big city so high?
Xia Tian was also helpless. The ingredients he bought from the system mall were of good quality, which meant that they were expensive. The flour was first-generation naturally perfect hybrid white wheat flour, and the salt was Himalayan salt.
He only earned 100 Dan from selling one bun, and he was already making a very small profit. He had to live, too, and if the price was any lower, the system would judge it as cheating.
He couldn't explain these things to Pingzuka Shizuka. Estimating that the time was about right, he silently lifted the lid of the steamer.
In an instant, the aroma of the buns filled the air.
The perfect combination of flour and filling created a symphony of deliciousness.
This rich aroma seemed to have magic,
Attracting every student who entered the school gate and every passerby on the road nearby. They all stopped in their tracks, looked around, trying to find the source of the aroma, wanting to find out what it was.
This fragrance was worth more than a thousand words. Pingzuka Shizuka silently took out 500 Dan,
"One, thank you."
It was truly fragrant, but she was truly poor.
