Martial arts: Prince Xiaoyao, pick Zhou Zhiruo at the beginning

Hearing that he could eat one more steamed stuffed bun, Xiaohu said happily, "Thank you uncle."

Xiaohu ran back home, held up two wooden boxes as soon as he got home, and said to the old man as if showing off, "Grandpa, grandpa, uncle praised Xiaohu for being cute, and gave Xiaohu an extra bun."

The old man thought in his heart that other people paid three for one yuan, but he wanted one for one yuan, which was three times more expensive.

Even if you give two for one money now, it is still expensive.

Xiaohu put the two wooden boxes on the table, impatiently took out a bun and ate it.

The fragrance is diffuse, very fragrant and very fragrant.

The old man watched his little grandson eating with gusto, walked over unconsciously, and whispered, "Is it so delicious...?"

He hesitated for a while, then took out another bun, "Just try it."

He didn't bite directly, but broke off part of it. This is the little grandson's bun. As a grandfather, he can't compete with his grandson for food.

Put the broken bun into your mouth and bite it. There is no meat in this bun, just some gravy on it.

But just like that, his eyes were also rounded.

It's delicious, it's really delicious.

Afterwards, he was out of control, and he picked up the remaining half of the bun, and ate it mouthful.

When he ate the minced meat, he tasted an unimaginable delicacy, and felt that all the food in his life had been eaten in vain.

Unknowingly, he recalled his whole life, from the food he was born and ate when he was a child, to the years when he was hungry for a period of time and almost starved to death as an adult.

Later, life gradually got better again, with grandsons, children around the knees, enjoying family relationships.

A steamed stuffed bun made him think about his entire life, and before he knew it, he burst into tears.

When he came back to his senses, Xiaohu raised his head high, "Grandpa, let's eat it."

The old man wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's delicious."

"Then let's buy it next time, shall we?" At this moment, Xiaohu became very sensible.

The old man also smiled and said, "Okay, I will buy it next time."

The business of Ordinary Steamed Bun Shop on the second day was double that of the first day. Although the income was the same, at least two buns were sold.

When they heard the news, Chunlan and the others laughed so hard that their stomachs ached.

Liu Hao didn't care, is it important to sell buns?It really doesn't matter.

What is packaged is the state of mind, and what is sold is also the state of mind.

Every bun contains Liu Hao's perception of life, which is naturally integrated into it, and Liu Hao's state of mind is becoming more and more stable and harmonious.

In the next few days, the old man and his grandson Xiaohu became Liu Hao's loyal customers.

It can be seen that the family background of the old man is not bad, and he can still afford a penny a day.

Liu Hao also gave Xiaohu an extra bun each time.

Liu Hao doesn't open until noon every day, and closes in the evening, very punctually.

The buns that cannot be sold will be fed to wild dogs and cats, and they will watch them finish eating before leaving.

Before he knew it, Xiaohu and Liu Hao got acquainted, and he would come to Liu Hao's shop to play when he was free, calling each uncle very fluently.

Apart from making a steamed stuffed bun every day, Liu Hao doesn't do nothing.

Liu Hao was pinching the dough in his hands, and the dough was constantly changing its shape in his hands.

Xiaohu asked, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

Liu Hao said with a smile, "Pinch people."

Xiaohu asked, "Then can Xiaohu play?"

Liu Hao shared a small piece of dough with Xiaohu, "That's all, Xiaohu can't waste food."

Xiaohu nodded half-understood, imitating Liu Hao's appearance and began to pinch.

After Liu Hao kneaded the dough into a human shape, he took out the paintbrush and began to paint the dough one stroke at a time.

After a few strokes, the basic shape has been sketched out, which is exactly what Chunlan looks like.

The eldest of the Chunlan sisters was also the first girl Liu Hao picked up.

When Liu Hao was drawing, he was thinking about the process of picking up Chunlan.

Daliang at that time was not as peaceful as it is now, and the old emperor was dying of a serious illness.

The princes are self-respecting and eyeing the throne. Although they haven't formally raised their troops, they are already full of chaos.

Chunlan's mother died of illness at an early age, and her father was drafted into the army. Chunlan lived with his grandfather.

It's a pity that just half a year after my father joined the army, my grandfather suddenly fell ill and passed away, leaving only Chunlan who was only five years old at the time.

Chunlan wanted to find her father, but the army didn't know where to go.

Chunlan became an orphan and wandered around for two full years, during which she suffered countless hardships.

When I was hungry, the leftovers rotted. Once, if it wasn’t for half a steamed bun given by a kind person, I would have starved to death.

Chunlan was also caught by human traffickers. Fortunately, she was lucky and Chunlan was smart enough to let her escape, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

The rear beams became more and more chaotic, and Chunlan's life became more and more bitter.

There was no food or money for begging, and Chunlan was hungry for two days, even she didn't know how she survived.

She was exposed to a heavy rain and had a fever.

In that case, getting sick is basically waiting to die.

Liu Hao still remembers that when he picked up Chunlan, Chunlan was huddled in a corner with sewage all over the floor, her small body was trembling uncontrollably, and her consciousness was already blurred.

If he falls asleep this time, he will basically die.

　(of the money) Fortunately, I also met myself, so I got this little life back.

When thinking of this, a smile appeared on Liu Hao's mouth.

Maybe it's because she has endured hardships that Chunlan is very obedient and sensible.

Later, I also went to the army to look for it, and the result was that Chunlan's father had died in battle, and he couldn't even find the body.

Liu Hao didn't tell Chunlan either, so let's pretend that there is no such father, otherwise girl Chunlan will be sad.

In this way, in Liu Hao's slow memory, Chunlan's dough has taken shape.

The aura circulated round and round over the dough, completely shaping the dough, ensuring that it would not change for a long time.

Xiaohu let out a wow, ""Uncle, your dough is so beautifully kneaded, no matter how Xiaohu kneads it, he can't do it well."

"When Xiaohu grows up, he can knead it." Liu Hao chuckled, and put Chunlan's dough figurine on the shelf of the shop.

Chunlan's dough is so lifelike that it looks like a fairy yuan.

Liu Hao looked at the dough, at this moment, he was missing Chunlan and the others.

He took two buns to Xiaohu, "These two buns are for you, the door is about to close.".

Chapter 424 If you trade a city, I won't sell it

In the middle of the night, Chunlan lay on Liu Hao with a trace of satisfaction.

"Master, what's the matter with you today?"

The blush on her face never faded, and the Chunlan at this time was as beautiful as a peach and plum, dazzlingly beautiful.

Liu Hao said, "I thought about many things today, and I thought about 17 years ago."

17 years ago. . .

Chunlan whispered, "I don't remember much about the past, but Chunlan never forgot. If it wasn't for the master, Chunlan would definitely not be alive now."

For Chunlan, that memory was too bitter. As she grew older, her happiness increased, and her childhood memories were somewhat blurred.

I don't remember the details, but I can still recall the general things. Every time I think of those things, Chunlan cherishes the present life more and more, and her love for Liu Hao grows deeper in her heart.

"master."

"Chunlan wants to have a child for the master."

Chunlan exhaled in Liu Hao's ear like orchids, containing deep affection that couldn't be melted away.

The next day, the steamed stuffed bun shop was still open around noon.

Xiaohu had been waiting for a long time. When the smell of steamed buns wafted over, Xiaohu became the first customer of the day, and also the only customer of the steamed stuffed bun shop recently.

Liu Hao continued to knead the dough today.

Simply pinch out the shape, and with a few strokes, Xia Zhu's appearance pops out.

Fifteen years ago, it was also when I picked up Xia Zhu.

Chunlan, summer bamboo, autumn chrysanthemum, winter plum.

Among the four, Xia Zhu's life was the hardest.

Xia Zhu is not an orphan, she has an older brother and her 080 is a younger sister.

The family is very poor, and it is difficult to support one, let alone two.

In order to support his elder brother, Xia Zhu's father finally decided to sell Xia Zhu.

Xia Zhu was only five years old at the time.

Xia Zhu has been very beautiful since she was a child, and because of this, Xia Zhu was sold by her parents when she was a child.

At that time, there were many families like Xia Zhu's, who raised their sons and sold their daughters.

The people who bought Xia Zhu were not ordinary people, but people traffickers in slave trade.

After Xia Zhu was bought, he was singled out and sold many times.

During the resale period, because the children have no strength to escape, they usually don’t give them too much food. They only have one meal every two or three days, which can only ensure that they will not starve to death.

And if he was disobedient, he would still beat him, and Xia Zhu was beaten many times.

Some people who were with Xia Zhu were beaten to death in this way, and some were starved to death.

If you get sick, you will be thrown away directly, and it is impossible to find a doctor for treatment.

Those who are not good-looking are disfigured by human traffickers and become beggars.

For a good-looking person like Xia Zhu, they would look for a rich family and hope to sell it for a good price.

Generally speaking, if Xia Zhu is lucky enough to become the maid of a wealthy family, then her life will not be bad.

But because Xia Zhu wanted to escape several times, the traffickers were angered. Not only was she beaten and bruised, but she was also starved all the time.

The traffickers didn't want to sell her anymore, so they just waited for her to grow up, and the purpose was obvious.

Xia Zhu lived like this for three years, three years that life would be worse than death.

Later, the traffickers suddenly met someone who was more vicious than them, and the traffickers were all killed. Xia Zhu thought he could escape.

The result was just the opposite. She had just stepped out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den.

The guy who killed the trafficker turned out to be a soldier from the Northern Huns, and Chunlan knew at this moment that she had left Daliang.

Xia Zhu, who was only eight years old at the time, was already handsome and charming, and her tall figure was like that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

With Xia Zhu's appearance, one can imagine what would happen in the northern Hungarian barracks.

Xia Zhu was completely desperate.

It was also at that time that Liu Hao appeared.

When the prison van in which she was held was opened, the first thing she saw was Liu Hao.

Liu Hao's gentle smile infected Xia Zhu and brought light to Xia Zhu's already gloomy life, and Xia Zhu followed Liu Hao ever since.

Liu Hao continued to draw, drawing very seriously.

He remembered Xia Zhu's face at that time, and countless injuries all over his body.

In the past few years, Xia Zhu has suffered countless beatings and tortures.
