Chapter 1145 – Tears of Happiness
Chapter 1145 – Tears of Happiness
Huan Qing Yan was preparing inside the shop and chuckled upon hearing Lord Treasure Snack Bar.
So be it. Since the couple plan to give the snack bar a random name, calling it Lord Treasure Snack Bar was fine as well.
On the other side, Da Niu acknowledged the order, “Boss, you are so awesome!”
The kid has literally become Da Niu’s idol, a perfect boss who has both intelligence and strength!
Da Niu started shouting as taught.
Along with Da Niu’s shouts, more and more people started to gather. However, they were only observing because of the high price of a hundred cents per bowl.
It was the serving maid of the Wang Family, Xiao Cui, who hesitantly approached to buy the first bowl instead.
The Young Lady had requested for food from this shop and would inevitably cause a ruckus if there were no buns. That was why Xiao Cui gritted her teeth to buy a bowl of dumplings, hoping it would suit the Young Lady’s taste.
After seeing the Wang Family’s serving maid purchase a bowl, everyone continued to observe; none of them made a move.
OId Tian slept in this morning.
His body had persistent problems that made it difficult to have a good night of sleep. Yet he had a comfortable sleep last night.
The moment he woke up.
He heard the advertising shouts from outside.
After pondering, he took out his life savings and counted five hundred cents.
And dashed towards the snack bar next door.
“Lady Boss, give me five meat buns, five vegetable buns...”
Someone from amongst the onlookers spoke when they heard the order, “OId Tian, aren’t you the famous old miser of Nameless Town? Isn’t your tagline, I have no money, but you can take my life? To think that you ordered ten buns in one go?”
Truly unbelievable.
“What do you know? Mere mortals, humph! Only people who have eaten will appreciate such delicious buns.” Old Tian has guessed that the illness affecting his old bones had only gotten better likely because of the buns he ate.
That was why he wants to confirm his guess today.
Everyone laughed out loud, “Aiyo, so Old Tian, you are an erudite person. A pity, there are no buns for sale today.”
“Old Tian, have you gotten a bun addiction? However, it looks like the buns here are really delicious, even a miser such as you would...”
Old Tian was very disappointed when he learned that there were no buns sold today.
He looked at the neatly arranged dumplings on the table and gritted his teeth, “Lady Boss, give me a bowl of Flying Bird Dumplings!”
Huan Qing Yan smiled and replied, “Okay. Please have a seat and wait a while.”
The first portion of dumplings has been bought by the serving maid from the Wang Family.
The second portion of dumplings was soon ready and placed in front of Old Tian.
The dumpling skin was thin yet full of fillings. The dumplings glisten like crystals and look like living art. Each of them was emitting a feeling as though all dumplings should be looking like this.
Old Tian suddenly felt that a hundred cents for one bowl were worth the price.
He carefully scooped one and took a bite.
At that instant, a thick aroma exploded within his mouth.
The fragrance reminded him of his hometown that nurtured and raised him. It was like the warmth of his gentle and beautiful wife in his youth. The wonderful times in that simple life surfaced one by one, leaving a longing within him that was hard to describe...
Old Tian started crying uncontrollably.
This was tears of happiness!
Someone noticed it and said, “Eh. How come this old man is crying when all he is doing is eating dumpling?”
“Is it from heartache? Is there a need?”
“Really, Old Tian, if you cannot bear to spend the money then don’t buy!”
“I think that is not the reason. Look at that old man’s face...”
