Chapter Seventy-One
The business of Mugen's steamed bun shop has stabilized, and it has a small reputation in the neighborhood, and in addition to the endless stream of family machine nannies who come to buy every day, there are actually many human guests who come to the door by themselves.
"The bun skin in this bun shop is very hard, it's good to make teethers, my baby only needs to give him a bun, and he can gnaw it for two days~" Old customer A said while picking up the bun.
"Well, my husband had a tooth decay earlier, because of the special tooth structure due to race, he had to go to another planet for surgery, and he gnawed a bun that day, and that tooth actually fell out by itself! No, he asked me to buy a few more buns to deal with other tooth decays! Customer B chimed in.
"......" This is the alpha machine qì person who is making steamed buns, hearing their words, the manipulator who is making noodles pauses, and the ghost screen looks at himself and noodles, and is briefly stuck, and then-
He immediately went to contact the nanny at the nearby dentist clinic.
\(≧▽≦)/ In view of the fact that the buyers of the dentist clinic only buy the buns for grinding their teeth, under the wise guidance of Alpha, the stuffing of the buns sold to the dentist clinic decreases day by day, and finally they simply do not put anything, and the buns become steamed buns.
Not to mention, it's selling pretty well.
Turning harm into benefit, keenly discovering business opportunities, and changing business ideas in a timely manner according to customer needs, Uncle Alpha is really great!
"Uncle Alpha, Uncle Pie, I'm back!" As usual, Mugan and Sigma trotted home.
"I'm back." Sigma also said hello, and then, Mugen took a bath, Sigma washed his hands, and the two of them went their separate ways.
"Sigma is going to military training with Mugan tomorrow." After washing his hands, Sigma jumped onto the table with a light thrust of his hand, pulled out the charging plug from under the invisible hiding plate on the table, and he attached himself to it: "Prepare your luggage." ”
"What—" Hearing this, Uncle Alpha turned dangerously, and with his movements, snow-white flour fell from him.
"You sell buns at home, and Sigma and Mugan go to military training." Sigma repeated it obediently, although the tone was flat, but there was always some unknown little Dasher hidden inside, which was captured by his former companions and now elders, the alphabet machine qì people!
A dangerous red light flashed from Alpha's ghostly screen, and at lightning speed, Sigma, who was quietly charging on the table, was caught by Ipsiron, Pie, Beta, and Etta coming from four directions, and Alpha walked slowly and methodically from the side of the board, and ruthlessly pulled out his charging plug.
"Sigma can't go, he's out of power." At dinner, Alpha said to Mugan very calmly.
"Huh?! It was fine in the afternoon! Mugan stood up in surprise.
"Don't stand up while eating, sit down and continue eating." Motioning to Mugan to observe table manners, Alpha continued to explain: "He plugged in the wrong plug when he was charging, and it short-circuited, and Ipsilon will take him to repair it tomorrow." ”
"Huh? And what about tomorrow's military training? Sitting upright at the dinner table, Mugan was a little worried.
"It doesn't matter, I'll disguise myself as Sigma and accompany you."
At this point, Uncle Alpha has finally exposed his true intentions!
Look at Uncle Alpha in front of him, who is serious and not angry, and imagine the innocent and lively Sigma who has no legs and no ass-
Muggen: "(⊙o⊙) Huh? ”
Imagine incompetence!
"However, I originally planned to take Sigma and Uncle there, Dobby has no chance, so I thought Uncle could go over, help Dobby when appropriate, and train Sigma by the way." Speaking of his difficulties, Mugan looked at Uncle Alpha again.
Alpha: Completely unexpected!
Raising his chin, Alpha stretched out his mechanical hand, and he gave a thumbs up: "No problem, I'll fix Sigma tonight, and tomorrow I guarantee that he can get up and go to military training with you." ”
Muggen: "Huh? Didn't you say that you have to go outside tomorrow to fix it? ”
As if Mugan's question had not been heard, Alpha had already left the table.
"Then, I'll go and prepare military training items now!" He—He's pretending to be stupid!
"Mugan, eat one more steak, this is Beta going to the good and big steak house to line up to buy it." His fingers were too thick to use human utensils, so he pushed and shoved the plate containing the steak towards Mugan.
"But, isn't the good and big meat steak house on the other side of Bai Luxing?" Looking at the huge steak on the plate, Mugan was stunned.
As the most famous steak shop on the planet, this shop is advertised everywhere, and Mugan has heard students from his department say more than once that he wants to eat it once, but because the steak house is too far away, he can probably only go there during the holidays.
"Beta, run fast." Sitting across from Mugan with an electronic newspaper, Beta's cold voice came from behind the paper.
I looked at the newspaper that hadn't been turned over for a long time, and then looked at the meat steak in front of me - the steak house was very popular, and it was basically sold out within an hour of being out of the pot, even if it had been kept in the zài warmer, and when he came back from school in the evening, although the meat steaks had not cooled down, the taste had spread and became unpalatable.
This is a subtle change that is imperceptible to the machine.
However, I thought of the most arrogant and indifferent Uncle Beta who set off early in the morning, huddled together with a group of nanny people to queue up to buy steaks, and then rushed back......
Picking up a cutlet and taking a big bite, chewing and swallowing, a big smile bloomed on Mugan's face.
"It's delicious!" Facing the beta machine who was pretending to read the newspaper on the other side, Mugan made a stunning gesture.
Beta then put the disguised newspaper on the table: "There is still a bag in the warmer, and I will take it to school tomorrow to eat with my classmates." ”
In teaching Mugan about human knowledge, the people also learned a lot of ways to "be human": for example, sharing one's food with classmates often can make classmates more harmonious.
Even if he is as cold as Beta, he has mastered a lot of common sense in the human world, and in order to keep Mugan from being bullied at school and have a better relationship with his classmates, he has also done a lot of things in his own way silently.
"However, I think Uncle Beta will make better steaks, and the steaks in this restaurant are not very neatly cut, so the chef is not strong enough." Eating the steak, Mugen added a little.
Even though Uncle Beta is very powerful and runs fast, for the machine Qì person, running such a long distance always makes him feel that the road is too far, and the wear and tear of his body will be accelerated. Mugan didn't want Uncle Beta to work too hard for him.
"Then I won't go to that store to buy steaks in the future, and I'll make my own for you." As soon as Qiē took precedence over Mugan's wishes, Beta immediately took the bait and put away the newspaper, he was ready to invade the brain of the owner of the good and big steak shop to see if there was a recipe or something.
Unable to see Uncle Beta's hard drive activity, Mugan munched on the steak and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the next day, Mugan was going to military training.
When Mugan woke up, he saw Alpha sitting at the head of his bed.
"Uh...... Did I oversleep? As long as Uncle Alpha was there, Mogan was safe, so he wasn't startled, and Mogan's first thought was: Did he oversleep?
"No, there's still an hour to get to the meeting, it's a fifty-minute walk to school, five minutes to wash, and you can sleep for five minutes." Knowing everything about Mughan's activities, Alpha didn't panic at all.
Looking at Uncle Alpha, who had brought the necklace early in the morning, Mugan understood: I knew that I could go to military training, Uncle Alpha......
Can't wait, right? Because I'm so happy, I got up so early than usual.
"I really want to go to military training! Get up too! A carp jumped up from the bed and placed Ollie's furry chick from the bed to the pillow, and Mogan turned Sigma on.
"Sigma up, we're leaving!"
Bidding farewell to the other remaining Jiqì people, Mugen went to military training with Uncle and Sigma.
"In order for the steamed bun shop to do a good job, the prescribed number of steamed buns per day must be sold out. When I get back, I'll be able to start working on new fillings. Before leaving, as the patriarch, Alpha re-instructed the left-behind Ji Qì people.
"Yes." As the leader of the time when Alpha was not there, Beta solemnly promised.
"I'll take care of Mugan and Sigma." Alpha has also made its own commitments.
A group of people exchanged a signal that only they could understand, and then left, opening a store.
If you don't see their human appearance and only listen to their voices, people must think that this is a scene that happened in a real human home.
This is the first time Alpha has gone to school with Muggan.
The planet is very safe, and Alpha has never walked this path with Mugan since he accompanied Mugan and Olivia on the exam.
However, this route to school was planned by him and several other people, the distance, the scenery is pleasant, and most importantly, it is very safe, and it is no stranger to this road Alpha.
But—
"Mugen, good morning!" As usual, the pastry shop was the first to open, I don't know if you remember, the pastry shop that Mugen encountered on the first day he went to report, the pastry shop owner who was confused by Mugan at that time is now quite familiar with Mugan, and will take the initiative to greet Mugan every morning.
"Good morning, Mr. Tony!" Mugan also smiled and greeted the pastry shop owner.
"Good morning, Mr. Tony." Standing next to his brother's lap, Sigma also greeted him.
"Sigma is still so cute!" Touching Sigma's head, Boss Tony took a pipe of energy pipes from his arms and put them in Sigma's hand.
"It's a strawberry-flavored liquid energy source, and it's very popular among people right now! Does Sigma like strawberries? ”
"I like it!" Sigma said loudly, then unceremoniously took the energy pipe and carefully stuffed it under her belly.
"......" This is the alpha of the onlookers.
"Mugan left earlier than usual today! Is this going to school? "Say hello every morning, and Boss Tony naturally knows that Mugan is a student at the Imperial Academy.
"No, today is the day to go for military training, and the next three months will be military training, so I can't say hello to Mr. Tony in the morning."
"Ah...... I haven't seen little Mugen for three months......" Hearing this, Boss Tony's face showed a hint of disappointment, but he quickly got busy again. Pulling out a large box and filling a large box of the most expensive dim sum from the store, Boss Tony ran out from behind the counter with the box.
"Military training is very strict, it's not good to delay your school, this is the snack I just made today, bring it to eat with your classmates, don't forget to give some to the instructor, so that he doesn't want to be too strict with you and Sigma."
"Secretly, the professors of the Imperial College like my dim sum very much~ I often queue up to buy it, but I can't buy it! That's a great way to bribe! With his right hand covering his mouth, Boss Tony whispered to Mugan, who wanted to refuse.
"Thank you very much, this is a bun in return." Hearing the word bribe, Alpha's ghostly screen flashed, and he stood up from behind Mugan very politely, he bent down to take the heavy box in Tony's hand, and after putting away the box, he also put a large box on his side as a return gift to Tony's boss.
"Huh? This is-"Why didn't you notice such a tall machine just now?"
"Mr. Tony, this is my Uncle Alpha, the box is the bun I gave you before, and my house is a bun shop!" Boss Tony was surprised, and Mugan said in time.
When he opened the box and saw the four large buns inside, Tony stiffened.
A few days ago, when Mugen gave him a bun that he made himself, he came home and accidentally tasted it, and it was hard......
Not wanting to hit the cute teenager, Boss Tony didn't throw away the chewy buns, but put them in the fridge. Now I've received four more buns, which—
It turns out that this is the bun bought at the bun shop at Mugan's house? With such a hard bun, the business of the Mugan family must be very bad......
So, the eyes of Boss Tony, who raised his head again, were full of sympathy.
"In the future, put the information in your store to me, and put some buns over, and I will help you advertise." Boss Tony patted his thin chest very righteously: "It's not me who blows!" The business of my shop is very good, and there are a lot of people who can't buy dim sum in line every day! If you put the buns with me, they will definitely sell! ”
When the last sentence came out, Tony was actually a little weak in his heart, but after thinking about it: if he really can't sell it, he said to the customer, sell buns and give snacks, how can it be sold?
Thinking of this, Tony's boss's chest snapped.
"Then please~\(≧▽≦)/~" The uncles' bun business is very hard, and it would be best if there were multiple opportunities, so Mugan immediately gave Boss Tony a big hug.
Leaving Beta's contact details to Boss Tony, Mugan waved goodbye to Boss Tony and his pastry shop.
Before leaving, Boss Tony also gave Alpha a special gift - apple-flavored liquid energy.
Looking at the turquoise energy liquid in the sun, Alpha was stunned, and put away the gift with a little treasure.
Along the way, following Mugan and Sigma, Alpha met the proprietress of the clothing store, the mother-in-law of the cold drink shop, and the young couple of the fast food restaurant...... There are many, many humans, each of whom is very friendly, and when they learned that Mugan was going to military training, they all gave all kinds of gifts, not only Sigma, but even Alpha, who met for the first time, got his own gifts.
Alpha's empty personal space instantly plumped up a lot.
"What a nice planet! Uncle Alpha, their choice is indeed right! He heard Mugan say to Sigma in a gleeful voice.
"Hmm!" Sigma nodded vigorously.
Well......
In his heart, Alpha also nodded quietly.
The humans here are really good! He thought to himself.
