Transmigrated from a post-apocalyptic world to become a village bully and set up a stall in ancient

Chapter 13 "Mukbang" Scene

After paying for the oxcart, Gao Mengli ignored Zhao Chen.

Carrying a basket on his back, a bucket of water, and with Lin Xi by his side, they prepared to set up a stall at the entrance of Pingyao County.

She looked up at the characters on the city wall. Good, she could still recognize traditional Chinese characters!

People came and went at the city gate, and stones could be easily gathered to build stoves and start fires, making it convenient to make hot steamed buns.

She gathered some stones and skillfully built a makeshift stove. She took a tinderbox from her basket and carefully started a fire.

Lin Xi quickly placed the large pot on the stove, and as she was about to lift the bucket, Gao Mengli took it away, saying, "Half a bucket is fine, but you can't lift this whole one."

After saying that, he poured the water from the bucket into the pot.

Lin Xi patted Gao Mengli shyly, gave her a wide look, and then placed the steamer containing the cornbread on the pot.

The sight sent chills down the spines of passersby.

This man... I can't quite put my finger on it, but he seems a bit "weak" and even a little effeminate!

There were very few stalls at the city gate; most vendors sold baskets, winnowing trays, and the like.

Neither of them had ever run a business before, and they didn't know how to do it.

Staring blankly at the bustling city gate, he was wide-eyed.

"Honey, I think I'm a little hungry..." Lin Xi's face flushed with embarrassment.

But he had to admit, he was hungry again. After all, the food he'd eaten the past two days hadn't been very nutritious or filling, so it was perfectly normal for him to get hungry quickly.

Gao Mengli stood up, took a steamed bun with elm seeds from the steamer, and handed it to him. "Eat up!"

Lin Xi took it, her eyes brimming with tears. They hadn't even started selling yet, and he had already eaten another one.

He ate in small bites, making sure to share half with Gao Mengli.

Gao Mengli shook her head. "You eat. I'm not hungry yet."

Their actions were first noticed by the man selling winnowing baskets across the street.

"Oh, that's still white flour and vegetable steamed buns!"

He watched Lin Xi squatting by the stove, eating with relish, which made him hungry. This "mukbang" made him starve.

He put down the winnowing basket he was selling to passersby and walked over.

The man walked closer and took a look. He felt that this thing did not look like a vegetable. He was not sure what it was. It was bright green, or maybe it was a white flour bun. He suddenly felt a strong urge to eat it.

How much are your cornbread buns?

Hearing someone ask, the two quickly stood up. Gao Mengli replied with a beaming smile, "Elm seed steamed buns, two coins each!"

"Elm seed steamed buns, what a great name! Give me two to try," the man said readily.

"Okay, I'll get it for you right away!"

Gao Mengli quickly opened the lid of the steamer, and the unique aroma of the elm seed steamed buns wafted out.

Pedestrians stopped and followed the aroma to the stall, where they saw the bright green steamed buns and Lin Xi doing a "mukbang" (eating broadcast)!

Gao Mengli was stumped, holding the bamboo clips. Damn it, she had completely forgotten to pick the banana leaves.

The man noticed her embarrassment. "It's okay, I can catch it with my hands. No need to pack it up."

Gao Mengli smiled apologetically at him and quickly placed the steamed bun in his hand, "Be careful, it's a little hot!"

The man didn't think much of it. After receiving the cornbread, he handed four copper coins to Gao Mengli from his pocket.

Gao Mengli looked at the copper coin in her hand with delight and quickly thanked him.

The man waved his hand, looking at the bright green cornbread in his hand. He felt a little fascinated; he had never tasted anything like it before.

The bright green steamed buns were steaming hot. The man took a bite and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

Passersby turned and stared at him.

Since Lin Xi had finished eating, the "mukbang" shifted to the owner of the winnowing basket.

The fresh aroma of herbs and plants, the chewy texture of the white noodles, and the unique taste that intertwine in the mouth.

This is so delicious!

Those watching from the sidelines, seeing his smug expression, thought, "What are we waiting for? Charge!"

"Give me two steamed buns!" A woman with a child stood in front of the stall at that moment.

Lin Xi quickly took the money, and Gao Mengli took two more out and placed them in the woman's hand.

The number of people doing "mukbang" instantly increased to three.

This is outrageous! Everyone hurry up and buy! The crowd surged around the stall, eager to buy the cornbread.

Unfortunately, the owner didn't have anything to pack, and they didn't bring any containers to hold the food, so they could only buy two each.

When the elm seed steamed buns enter your mouth, the novel taste and delicious texture are like being tightly wrapped in a fragrant quilt!

The owner of the winnowing basket had "tasted the flavor" and wanted to buy more, but when he did, his stall was surrounded by people, and he finally managed to squeeze in.

He yelled, "Wait a minute!!!"

Gao Mengli, who was about to place the steamed bun in the customer's hand, froze. The customer who was receiving the steamed bun also froze. Lin Xi, who was collecting money, also froze. Everyone turned to stare at the owner of the winnowing basket.

"I want to buy more!!!" the shop owner declared boldly.

As soon as she saw the customer taking the steamed bun, she immediately snatched the bun from Gao Mengli's bamboo clip and ran outside.

The crowd scattered, each grabbing a steamed bun and running away.

Just as the winnowing basket owner was puzzled, the first customer who had run away came back and looked at the winnowing basket owner warily.

Then he took out two copper coins from his pocket and placed them in Lin Xi's hand.

Without looking back, he ran away with the steamed bun in his hand.

The basket vendor smiled apologetically at Gao Mengli and Lin Xi, "I'm so sorry, you two, I scared away your customers... But I'll take the rest!"

This stuff is so delicious, I'll take it home and let my family try it," he thought to himself.

Gao Mengli's lips twitched, but she had to interrupt his daydream, "Sorry, the one I just picked out was the last one!"

"What????"

The winnowing basket owner looked on incredulously, his eyes fixed on Gao Mengli, as if to confirm whether she was joking.

Gao Mengli shrugged helplessly, indicating that this was indeed the case.

The boss slapped his forehead in frustration. No wonder that person ran so fast; he had miscalculated…

He could have bought another one, but he regretted not buying all the cornbread sooner.

"Boss, are you coming to set up your stall again tomorrow?!"

The winnowing basket vendor was not giving up. If he couldn't eat it today, he could at least eat it tomorrow. Tomorrow, he would bring a large bowl with him!

Looking at his expression that said, "If I don't have steamed buns, I'll eat you two," Gao Mengli blankly replied, "Uh... I guess so."

"Okay! I'll buy it tomorrow!" The man was happy to receive the reply and returned to his stall, not forgetting to take his hands out and smell them from time to time.

This smells amazing, it's so delicious and addictive!
