"Okay, here you are."
"Thank you."
Although it was still considered early, the early morning peak had already arrived in the capital. Everyone was rushing to get to work, otherwise there would be a traffic jam soon.
Many people also bought some breakfast before rushing off to take the subway.
It was because there were so many people working in the city that the city had become more prosperous.
"Hello, what do you want?"
Chu Xihee came back to his senses and realized that it was already his turn. There were also less people who came to buy breakfast when he arrived, he was basically the last one.
"Oh, what bag do you have now?" Chu Xihee asked.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman came to stand behind Chu Xihee.
"That's about it. There are only a few meat buns left."
Chu Xihee looked at the steamed bun in the bamboo steamer and thought for a while. When he was about to speak, he heard the woman beside him.
"Alright, I want two vegetable packets."
After being interrupted so rudely, Chu Xihee immediately felt annoyed. He was clearly cutting the queue.
According to the order, it should be Chu Xihee's turn. Everyone was waiting to buy food, but this team's entrance made Chu Xihee very unhappy.
This was because the woman's tone was very domineering and filled with a sense of impatience. Just from her tone, one could tell that she held disdain for others.
This made Chu Xihee angry. If you were really in a hurry, his tone would be nicer. He might not let her go first, but he was annoyed that he interrupted her in such an impolite manner.
What's more, Chu Xihee didn't drag it on for too long. He was already so impatient. Could it be that he wanted to be reincarnated?
Therefore, Chu Xihee immediately said, "I want a cross-burn."
The sales clerk heard the two of them order something at the same time and knew that Chu Xihee came first, so he helped Chu Xihee take it. When the woman saw this, she rolled her eyes at Chu Xihee and looked very unhappy.
Although he helped Chu Xihee a bit, Chu Xihee was still a bit annoyed. She was in a hurry, so he had to be a bit slower.
"Anything else?" the clerk asked.
"One more youtiao and eggs."
"Right, are there any more Red Bean Cake?"
The shop assistant opened the bamboo steamer and took a look, then said, "I've finished buying this."
Chu Xihee saw that there was also a horseshoe cake inside, so he said: "Take a horseshoe cake."
Then, Chu Xihee ordered another cup of soy milk. Originally, it should be enough, but Chu Xihee clearly felt the woman beside him had an impatient look on her face.
"I see that you guys have a new spot on your sign, right?"
"Yeah, that's our new walnut bun. It's delicious and nutritious, do you want one?"
"How much for one?"
"Five yuan."
"Five yuan for one, that's a bit expensive."
The shop assistant waited with a smile. In reality, five dollars wasn't that expensive. The other steamed buns were already worth three or four each. A new five was still acceptable.
"Then give me two." Chu Xihee said.
Chu Xihee felt that the expression of the woman beside him had changed. Who told her to displease him just now? That was the right thing to do!
Otherwise, she wouldn't know what it meant to be first come first serve. She would respect the rules and not randomly interrupt.
Chu Xihee was close to it, but that woman just said angrily: "You did it on purpose, why do you owe me so much. Are you crazy? You took so long on purpose."
"Hmm? Are you talking to me? " Chu Xihee said calmly.
"Didn't I tell you who to tell? Didn't I tell the dog?" The woman said angrily.
"Watch your mouth. Don't sully the environment of the capital."
My mouth is not clean at all. If it was, I would have greeted all eighteen generations of your ancestors and even said something about the environment of the capital. Who do you think you are?
Chu Xihee snorted when he heard that. His eyes were filled with contempt as he stared at the woman.
"Not talking to someone like you this early in the morning will affect your mood."
After Chu Xihee said this, he ignored her, but he was still unhappy.
Then he said to the shop assistant, "Get me two of your buns as well."
After the shop assistant heard this, he was stunned for a moment before asking, "Customer, are you sure?"
"Of course, my stomach is bigger, and I've just finished my morning practice, so I'm very hungry."
"Sure, please wait a moment."
As he said that, the shop assistant went over to put the steamed buns in a bag. As there were more breakfast types in the restaurant, there was probably not enough to fill up the bags in a short while.
Chu Xihee wanted this kind of effect. Since that woman didn't like to wait, then let her wait long enough. Only then, would she be angered to death.
Thus, Chu Xihee took a steamed bun and calmly ate it.
The woman knew that he was purposely targeting her, so she became more flustered and scolded Chu Xihee incessantly.
Chu Xihee only looked at her happily as if she was a fool. He paid attention to everything she said and instead thought it was ridiculous for her to bark like that.
When the middle-aged woman saw that cursing was useless against Chu Xihee, but was instead ridiculed by Chu Xihee's expression, how could she continue eating? She cursed as she walked out.
When the customers in the store saw her being such a shrew, they felt that she had really humiliated the people in the capital.
The middle-aged woman scolded him all the way to the door. She didn't want to miss the stairs outside. Suddenly, she missed her step and fell down horizontally, hitting the ground with a "pa" sound.
Everyone looked towards the direction where she fell with even more attention. The fall wasn't light. Her forehead directly hit the ground, creating a bloody hole. Blood kept flowing out, causing her to cry out in pain.
Many people in the restaurant laughed. When they heard what she had just said, they felt that she had fallen right.
Chu Xihee was also very satisfied when he saw this. He was eating breakfast with Yiran in the restaurant and felt very comfortable in his heart.
Life was like this, one couldn't be too arrogant. If you treated people with respect, there was a high chance that others would return the courtesy.
At this moment, Chu Xihee was eating breakfast, which was very sweet. However, there was something even sweeter. This was probably the feeling of happiness in his heart. Drinking plain water also felt sweet.
However, even though he had consumed a bit too much last night, he was still unable to hold on to so much by himself.
At that moment, Chu Xihee's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Nie Pengqun.
"Hey, what happened?"
"Brother Chu, how are things going with you?" Nie Pengkun asked over the phone.
"How is it …"
After Chu Xihee heard this question, he recalled what happened last night. That kind of sweet memory appeared again in front of him.
"Of course …" "It went smoothly. Why are you asking this? How's it going on your side?" Chu Xihee said.
"I've made some progress here. I found some information about the Yellow Springs. Are you free right now? I'll tell you face to face."
