Chapter 623: Meat Bun

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Business at the bun shop was very good. There were many diners gathered in front of the shop.

Yu Niaoniao finally squeezed in.

She asked the boss, “How much are the buns?”

The boss said as he busied himself selling buns, “Three copper coins for the meat filling and two copper coins for the vegetable filling.”

Yu Niaoniao opened the pouch and poured out the copper coins inside. There were exactly ten copper coins.

She handed over all ten copper coins. “Two for the meat and two for the vegetable.”

“Alright!”

The boss accepted the copper coins and quickly picked up four buns. He wrapped them in oil paper and handed them to her.

“Young lady, here are your buns.”

Yu Niaoniao held the hot buns and turned to Xiao Juan.

“Let’s go sit in the shade in front.”

“Yeah.”

The sun was quite hot today, but the villagers were busy doing business and did not have time to rest. Therefore, the shade of the tree was empty, making it convenient for Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan.

They found a random place in the shade and sat down.

Yu Niaoniao carefully opened the paper bag and handed two buns to Xiao Juan.

“Two each. This is yours.”

Xiao Juan took the bun and lowered his head to take a bite. The soft skin was wrapped in delicious meat filling. When he took a bite, hot soup overflowed. It tasted very good.

As Yu Niaoniao ate, she said, “These buns are so delicious!”

Xiao Juan looked up at her and saw that the bun in her hand had vegetable filling.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Why is that a vegetable bun?”

Yu Niaoniao chuckled. “I want to eat something vegetarian recently.”

With that, she opened her mouth and took another big bite of the bun. Her cheeks puffed up as she ate, looking like she was enjoying herself.

Xiao Juan seemed to have thought of something. He picked up another bun and gently opened it. It was also filled with meat.

So his two buns were stuffed with meat.

He looked at Yu Niaoniao again and asked.

“How many meat buns did you buy?”

As Yu Niaoniao ate, she said, “Why are you asking? Hurry up and eat. The buns won’t taste good when they get cold.”

Xiao Juan took the other bun from her hand.

Yu Niaoniao immediately panicked. “What are you doing? You haven’t finished your own buns. How can you snatch mine? Return the buns to me!” With that, she reached out to snatch it.

When a passerby saw this scene, he could not help but look at Xiao Juan disdainfully and mutter softly.

“Who is he? He actually wants to snatch his wife’s bun. He’s really not a man.” When Yu Niaoniao heard this, she was immediately embarrassed.

On the other hand, Xiao Juan looked calm and did not care what others thought.

He broke open the bun he had just snatched. As expected, there were only cabbage and carrot shreds inside. There was no meat at all.

There were a total of four buns. She ate the ones with vegetable filling herself and gave him two with meat fillings.

Xiao Juan’s hand trembled slightly as he held the bun, his heart aching. Meat buns were not worth much, but she still left the best for him.

“Niaoniao, I’m sorry.”

When they got married, he had promised to take good care of her. But now, she had to sleep in the open with him. She couldn’t even eat a meat bun.

Yu Niaoniao sighed.

“Why are you sorry? I gave you all the meat buns because I was worried that you were injured and needed something good to nourish your body. When you recover, you can earn money and bring me to eat all the delicacies in the world.”

Xiao Juan did not say anything and silently reached out to hug Niaoniao.

He hugged her hard as if he wanted to rub her entire body into his.

Yu Niaoniao felt a little out of breath.

She cried exaggeratedly, “Alright, alright. There are still people watching. Let go of me.”

Xiao Juan did not care what others thought.

He hugged Niaoniao and refused to let go. His voice was muffled.

“I don’t like meat buns. Help me eat them.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Liar! The meat buns smell so good. How can anyone not like them?”

“I just don’t like them. From now on, all my meat buns are yours.”

Xiao Juan paused and added.

“You can have everything I have.”

Yu Niaoniao was caught between laughter and tears. “It’s just two meat buns. Do you have to do this?”

To the previous Duke Lang, two meat buns were indeed nothing, but to the current Xiao Juan, two meat buns were a rare delicacy in this world.

No matter how many years passed in the future, he would never forget what was happening now.

After obtaining Yu Niaoniao’s agreement, Xiao Juan let go of her. Yu Niaoniao held the half-eaten meat bun and said in amusement.

“You’ve already eaten this. Why don’t you finish it?” Xiao Juan looked at her steadily. “Are you despising me?”

Yu Niaoniao denied it. “How can that be? No way!”

Xiao Juan said, “Then eat.”

Yu Niaoniao was speechless.

Under the man’s burning gaze, Yu Niaoniao obediently ate both meat buns.

Xiao Juan took out the water bag from his bag and handed it to her. Then, he picked up the two vegetable buns and finished them in two or three bites.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Juan asked Niaoniao what she wanted to do next.

Yu Niaoniao wanted to buy some medicinal herbs for treating injuries.

The arrow wound on Xiao Juan’s back was inflamed. The inflammation had not subsided, and they were about to run out of medicine. They had to replenish it as soon as possible.

Previously, Yu Niaoniao had mentioned buying medicinal herbs, but Xiao Juan had rejected her.

When the authorities found out that he was injured, they would definitely set up spies in various pharmaceutical shops and medical centers in advance. As long as they appeared, they would be arrested.

To them, the pharmacy and medical center were like traps set by hunters.

Xiao Juan could not let Niaoniao take the risk.

Yu Niaoniao naturally knew Xiao Juan’s scruples, but if the medicine was cut off, the injuries on Xiao Juan’s body would become even more serious and might even endanger his life.

She was going to die either way. She might as well take a gamble!

She raised her hand to her forehead as if she was blocking the sun.

“It’s too hot today. Go buy me an oil-paper umbrella. I’ll wait for you here.”

Xiao Juan looked at the market in front of him. There were indeed shops selling oil paper umbrellas.

He said to Yu Niaoniao, “I’ll be back. Stay here and don’t move.”

Yu Niaoniao nodded obediently and said.

“It’s quite tiring for you to run around with the bag. Why don’t you give it to me? Anyway, I don’t have to move when I sit here.”

Xiao Juan did not think too much about it. He immediately took off the bag on his back and handed it to her. “When I get back, don’t run around.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Got it.”

Xiao Juan pressed down the brim of his bamboo hat and strode towards the shop selling oil-paper umbrellas. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝘯𝘦𝘵

After he left, Yu Niaoniao immediately jumped up.

She dashed towards the nearest pharmacy with her bag.

There were too many people in the pharmacy. The two clerks were busy.

Yu Niaoniao looked around and did not find anyone suspicious in the medicine shop.

She leaned over the counter and asked one of the clerks. “Do you have medicine for external injuries here?”
