Mr. Gu hurriedly dragged Gu Chengyu towards the city gate. On the way, they passed a bun shop. "Buns for sale! Buns for sale! Fragrant and big buns! Sir, how about two? Once you taste them, you'll want more. A big meat bun for three copper coins!" The shop's attendant enthusiastically shouted, as two people had just entered the bun shop.
Gu Chengyu heard the attendant's shouting and smelled the aroma of the buns, feeling his stomach growling with emptiness. He tugged Mr. Gu to stop. "Dad, let's buy some buns! I'm hungry. We left early today, it's already noon and we haven't eaten yet!"
"Oh! I almost forgot to mention, there are still some steamed corn cakes your mother made! Are you craving buns? I'll buy two for you; your brother and I will eat the corn cakes." Mr. Gu understood that children can't resist the aroma of buns.
"Little brother, two meat buns, please." Mr. Gu didn't say much to Gu Chengyu but turned around to instruct the attendant to pack two meat buns.
