Chapter 77 (2/2)

……….

Having kneaded dough for the whole morning, Yuan Zhou decided to take a bath again before going back to bed, preparing to take a nap. It was still early, barely 9:00 a.m.

However, the neighboring residents had already got up. A large-scale renovation was suddenly taking place down the street, about two stores’ distance away from Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. Various noises could be heard.

At the beginning, the residents thought it was another weird wake up service. Only when they opened the windows did they find three stores below were being renovated simultaneously and the noises were disturbing their peace. Nevertheless, no matter how noisy it was, the residents could only bear with it since the renovation work was done during the daytime.

However, someone still uttered in a rage, “This damn shabby street can’t match up to the office buildings on the other side at all. It will probably get pulled down very soon. What’s the use of renovating it?”

“Indeed. Who knows why nobody wants to buy this area. There aren’t many people in the street.” Another echoed from nearby the window.

“It is said that the land is fairly expensive. But who knows why they just leave this shabby residence area alone.” The formerly indignant person was likewise puzzled.

“Hope it can be pulled down soon. Then we can all make a great fortune from the compensation.” the former voice that echoed was filled with hope.

“Yes, indeed.” His opinion brought about much consent from the others.

The little loli, Mu Xiaoyun, on her way home still had her thoughts filled with the fragrance of the Soup Dumplings. She almost seemed absent-minded and hence bought breakfast again in a daze. A great quantity of steamed buns and steamed bread were purchased. She had bought so many of them that they were more than enough for her four family members to eat, costing a total of 30 RMB or so.

“Why did I buy so many?” Mu Xiaoyun didn’t realize it until her hand felt tired, then lowered her head to check.

Speechlessly, she looked at the steamed buns and grumbled for a good while, “The boss is to blame.”

“The boss said all dishes on the menu would be served for lunch. Are they as yummy as the Soup Dumplings?” While thinking of that, she unconsciously gulped her saliva.

Thinking of the fragrance of the Soup Dumplings just now, she felt much hungrier, thus gulped down three more steamed buns with meat stuffing.”

With her sparrow-like food intake, it was simply incredible. Normally, she could only eat no more than 1 steamed bun with greasy meat, but now he ate up three.

It seemed that Yuan Zhou truly did people great harm.

Just in a little while, Mu Xiaoyun got home and started to narrate the happenings in the morning to her brother, who didn’t have much of a reaction.

“I have already known that. That restaurant sells quite expensive dishes, but really delicious ones.” with one leg being hung by gauzes, Mu Jieyun indeed appeared to have broken his leg. Yet, he had an expression of “I already knew that” on his delicate and pretty face.

“If you already knew that, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Did you know I almost made a fool of myself?” Mu Xiaoyun tugged her brother’s sleeve discontentedly.

“What? Did you think he is a swindler?” Mu Jieyun looked at his sister and asked in amusement.

“Yes. The dishes there are so expensive and besides, there weren’t many good foods sold on that street.” Mu Xiaoyun was fairly lively in front of her family members.

“Don’t worry. When you get your salary, we can buy some to have a taste.” Mu Jieyun had a perfect plan.

Mu Jieyun had already known that the dishes in the restaurant were very expensive. However, the salary offered by Yuan Zhou was good enough to eat those dishes a few times. Of course, it was also enough to play some PC games outside.

“So this is exactly what you were aiming for, brother?” Mu Xiaoyun really felt her brother acted stupid every day.

“You are right.” Mu Jieyun answered in a shameless manner.

“Brother, I can tell you that the boss doesn’t allow you take the dishes out of the restaurant, even if you take your lunch-box there,” Mu Xiaoyun said mercilessly while looking at the wounded leg.

“…” Mu Jieyun then became speechless.
