The guests in the private room ordered a lot of meat dishes, which were rich with seasoning and oil even when they were not meaty. Leftovers like these, turned into filling for steamed buns, were oily and flavorful. Common people loved to eat them.
Since the buns were made with white flour and even took the livestock's feed, selling these steamed buns was a loss for Zuixian Building.
But Qiao Xiaomai persevered and did not let Shopkeeper Hong change this.
It was an act of taking from the rich to aid the poor, using the wealthy's leftover food to help the needy. It was a charitable act.
If it could do some good, what did a small loss matter?
Zuixian Building had a huge business and family wealth; it wasn't afraid of such a loss.
So the mixed vegetable steamed buns became a specialty of Zuixian Building, and later the Restaurant started to follow suit. Thus, the mixed vegetable buns from these two restaurants became a unique delicacy, much loved by the common folk.
