Qin Shiyue originally had two hundred yuan, which he thought wasn't even enough for his daily meals. Now it seems he was wrong.

Two hundred yuan... he could buy a whole 400 of these adorable chicks!!!

A full 400! What an astonishing number.

This completely shattered Qin Shiyue's understanding.

At that moment, he realized how wealthy he was with two hundred dollars in his pocket.

"Sir, with prices so low, are you really making a profit?"

"I don't make any money," the old man answered honestly, and it didn't sound like he was lying.

"Then why are you still selling?" Qin Shiyue thought to herself, "How much must one love this profession to go to such lengths..."

"I'm not selling chicks to make money," the old man said nonchalantly.

"Why is that?" Qin Shiyue's current motto is to ask questions when she doesn't understand and to be humble and eager to learn.

"Of course..."

You should say something! Qin Shiyue can't wait any longer.

"Try it for yourself, what did you hear?"

Qin Shiyue was puzzled, but he still listened to the sounds around him. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand a single word.

Yes, everyone around him spoke in their local dialect, but he was the only one speaking Mandarin with the old man.

The old man looks like someone who has been to school, Qin Shiyue thought.

"Can't understand."

"Sigh, that's for sure, you don't understand. Let me explain."

“Since we arrived here, I’ve heard a lot of interesting stories. The woman at the stall next door is 60 years old and has been married five times, but her husbands still love her to death; she’s as charming as ever.”

"And then there's the woman at the stall next to hers, the one who sells winter melons. Her son dated for five years and cried buckets on his wedding day, but he cheated on her and got a divorce six months later. The woman was so angry that she wanted to kick him out of the house."

"And that sugarcane seller across the street, he's really in a bad situation. His wife cheated on him with his daughter's ex-boyfriend, and then the ex-boyfriend got back together with his daughter. The mother and daughter got into a fight when they met, and he was the one who ended up getting her out of the fight."

"Let's talk about the sweet potato vendor a little distance away on our left. This lady has it tough. Her husband and son-in-law had an affair. Her husband was terrified by his son-in-law's insatiable demands and called the police. She immediately divorced him, and her daughter also got divorced, leaving the man with nothing. Now, without these two men, the mother and daughter are living better and better lives."

No... my silence was deafening...

[What kind of gossip livestream is this...? It doesn't look staged...]

[No...is this something I can hear?!?!? This is so shocking!]

【Wait... Grandpa, you usually eat so well?! ??? You've heard all the gossip.】

Sure enough, wherever there are lots of middle-aged women, there's never a shortage of gossip.

Honestly, it reminded me so much of the old ladies in floral cotton-padded jackets gathered under the big banyan tree at the village crossroads when I went back to my village, chatting and gossiping while cracking sunflower seeds...

I can't imagine what a lively and cheerful little girl I would be if I spent my days here listening to all this gossip...

Qin Shiyue listened with increasing interest, and the old man became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.

"Is there more? Is there more??" Qin Shiyue's gossip spirit was burning brightly at this moment.

"There's plenty more, want to hear more? We'll talk after we sell all the chickens." The old man was very proud of himself, but Qin Shiyue was hooked, so she really started selling chickens seriously.

The two had a clear division of labor: Qin Shiyue was in charge of selling the chicks, while the old man was in charge of listening to the gossip and then relaying it to Qin Shiyue in Mandarin.

Qin Shiyue is more motivated than ever to hear the gossip as soon as possible.

He even resorted to using his good looks to achieve this.

However, what he didn't know was that his name was already trending on social media.

It quickly became a trending topic.

The agent couldn't help but sigh, "This kid has finally gotten a high-profile trending topic."

Many netizens came to see it, but this time they didn't get to watch the gossip; instead, they caught Qin Shiyue selling chickens.

A viral sensation about selling chicken is about to be born.

Of course, Qin Shiyue didn't realize that at this moment, he wasn't an idol, but just a chicken seller who wanted to sell all the chickens.

"Hey, chickens for sale! Chickens for sale! Everyone come and take a look! You won't regret buying them!"

The old man was amused by his shouts.

"Where did you learn that trick?" The old man laughed heartily. "You didn't learn it from a TV drama, did you?"

Qin Shiyue remained silent.

"I was right."

"Then how else are we supposed to sell it?!"

"Find your own way, show some sincerity, and don't bother me while I listen to gossip."

Qin Shiyue began to think seriously. He had never sold chickens before and had no experience. But what about sincerity?

Yes, sincerity is the ultimate weapon.

Every time someone came over, Qin Shiyue would begin his persuasive rhetoric.

"Oh my, sister, your outfit is amazing! I can't help but take a second look. Look at our little chicks, aren't they cute?! Whether you buy my chicks or not is not important, what's important is that your temperament is impossible to ignore."

He immediately showered her with praise, making the older sister so happy that the gold bracelets on her wrists clinked together.

"How much is each of these chicks, young man?"

"Sister, it only costs five cents, you can have this cute little chick for just five cents."

"Okay, give me ten, sis!!!"

"Okay, sis, I'll get it for you right away!!!"

The older sister left with a smile on her face, and Qin Shiyue looked at the five yuan in her hand, feeling a mix of emotions.

"Hey, not bad! Keep it up. I just heard some more gossip, it's really exciting."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Qin Shiyue, who had been parched, suddenly became incredibly energetic, her spirits soaring.

He would grab anyone who passed by and chat with them for a bit, showering the aunties with compliments and praise until they were practically floating on air.

The aunties were also very wealthy. Qin Shiyue made them happy, and they bought whatever they wanted without hesitation.

Of course, this only applies to older women and aunties who can understand Mandarin.

Since she couldn't understand, Qin Shiyue could only express herself through body language.

The scene made viewers in the live stream laugh until their stomachs hurt.

"Sister, you're so pretty! Sister, please buy one!!!"

"Sister, your luck looks pretty good today. Buy a chicken; your luck will only get better in the future."

"Sister, there was a strange phenomenon when these chicks hatched; it's an auspicious sign! Buying them will surely bring you good luck!!!"

"I only sold it because I saw my sister. I wouldn't have sold it to anyone else."

"Hey sis, let's buy one, someone else wants one too."

"Oh dear, I told you we didn't need to buy so much, why did you still buy so much?"

...

With that kind of sales pitch, coupled with his face, older women would definitely buy it without question.

Qin Shiyue was having a great time selling chicks. Although his mouth was dry, his fighting spirit remained undiminished. What's more, every customer would give him a shout-out—

The young man is really handsome.

The young man is really handsome.

The young man is really handsome.

He was overjoyed.

It's flying up into the sky.

Honestly... this is the first time I've ever seen Qin Shiyue act so obsequiously...

[Stop talking, as a four-year fan of his, this is the first time I've ever seen him like this...]

[At one point, I really wanted to be one of those middle-aged women...]

[What's going on? He doesn't sound cheesy at all when he says these things? He's even kind of funny? Hahahaha]

Could you call me "sister" too...? I was totally confused just listening to that. Those aunties are eating so well, I'm so envious...

This sales pitch... if used on me, could bankrupt me.

Forgive my bluntness, but he could easily swindle my mother out of her entire pension.

Well, it's a good thing he became an idol...

In the blink of an eye, only one chick remained in the cage.

Qin Shiyue looked at the last chick with some reluctance.

Honestly, he really liked it; it was furry and felt incredibly comfortable to touch.

It's light yellow, and it looks very warm.

The old man went to listen to gossip and came back to find only one chick left, which surprised him greatly.

"I didn't expect you to actually have some skills."

"Not bad~" Qin Shiyue said smugly.

Qin Shiyue handed over all the money from selling the chicks to the old man.

The old man knew just by weighing it in his hand that it was more than enough.

"Why is there still more?"

"Oh, those older women insisted on giving it to me."

"Using your good looks again?"

Just as Qin Shiyue was about to retort, the old man added another sentence.

"Not bad, not bad at all, quite like my style back in the day!!! Back then, which girl within a ten-mile radius wasn't captivated by me? The men who chased me could stretch from one end of the village to the other!!!"

"How can this person be even more narcissistic than me?" Qin Shiyue thought to herself. "He's still so irresponsible even in his old age. You can imagine how narcissistic he was when he was young."

The old man saw Qin Shiyue's gaze fall on the last chick.

"What? You like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you." The old man said sincerely.

"Really?" Qin Shiyue was clearly surprised.

Why did you give it to me?

"Because you're a fool."

"What do you mean?"

"They say you're a good kid, handsome and sensible."

"Sir, you've really chosen the right person! Everyone who knows me says so!!!"

The older woman even gave him a tip... Kid, do you realize that you said that older woman had taken a liking to you...?

[This is hilarious! The older sister is decked out in gold and silver; kid, you're so lucky (just kidding)]

Hmm, I knew he really liked chicks, hahaha!

[The old man was so kind; he gave me the chicks directly.]

[Hahahaha, this is hilarious, you silly goose... hahahahaha]

Can someone explain what this means? I don't quite understand.

The old man said he was stupid, hahaha, and he stupidly thought the old man was praising him.

[Okay, the old man wasn't wrong. Even a die-hard fan can attest to it: this kid is genuinely naive...]
