On the other side were Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu.

The two people were walking down the street.

The street was crowded with people, some running around, some shouting, some gossiping—all sorts of noises, making it a lively place to listen to.

However, their striking appearance and the presence of live-streaming equipment drew the attention of many people along the way.

Some people even came up to praise them, which made Shen Shiqing blush.

Shen Shiqing ordered a tofu pudding from a roadside vendor and quickly finished it; it had truly been too long since he had eaten it.

Indeed, tofu pudding must be made by traditional hand.

After finishing their meal, the two of them walked into the greenhouse market. There were quite a few people inside, and all the stalls were bustling with activity, creating a lively atmosphere.

Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu showed everyone what the market looked like inside, talking as they demonstrated, instantly becoming tour guides.

Finally, they stopped in front of a small street stall.

There was a cloth on the ground with all sorts of odds and ends on it, making it look like a general store.

The owner was asleep in the recliner, looking completely at ease, not worried at all about his things being taken away.

Shen Shiqing squatted down to pick through the items. She used to love browsing flea markets and would often find little things to bring home.

The flea market has everything: stamps, calligraphy and paintings, old newspapers and books, second-hand small cameras, jade and antiques, you name it.

The stall is just too small, so there aren't usually that many items.

While they were picking and choosing, the stall owner finally woke up, opened his eyes and saw two customers, and his mouth almost split open with a smile.

"What would you two like? Take your time, anything you like." The stall owner could tell at a glance that the two people in front of him were city folks. Maybe he'd make a big sale today just for the novelty.

Shen Shiqing responded and began to select carefully.

Her gaze fell on the old newspapers beside her.

She only glanced at it before deciding to buy it.

She had already inquired about it; her brother loved collecting old newspapers, and this newspaper was dated the year he was born, so she was even more determined to buy it.

Her eyes then fell on the stamps on the side. Buy them!!! Because her younger brother liked them.

The whole family has interests that are more or less related to art.

It was instilled in me from a young age.

Shen Shiqing was very serious about choosing, and Lu Jingchu was also very serious about looking at her.

She had no idea that Shen Shiqing liked this, so she silently made a mental note of it.

But the next second, Shen Shiqing leaned close to his ear and whispered, "These are for my brother and my younger brother."

"Which one do you like?" Lu Jingchu asked her.

Shen Shiqing noticed the small camera on the edge, and Lu Jingchu followed her gaze and naturally saw it as well.

There are several.

Shen Shiqing picked one that was in good condition, and the shopkeeper brought out a charging cable to charge it.

Shen Shiqing continued to choose other things.

"And you, which one do you like?" This time it was Shen Shiqing's turn to ask Lu Jingchu.

Lu Jingchu looked around and finally chose an old-fashioned record player.

Take it back to Sister Miaomiao, she'll probably like it, she might even be watching the live stream right now waiting for him to buy it.

After picking out a few more items, the secondhand goods were all cleared out.

The shop owner happily calculated the price and came up with 105 yuan.

The shop owner was also very sweet-talking; he said that since they were good-looking, he would round down the price to 100.

Lu Jingchu consciously reached into his wallet.

Shen Shiqing put everything together.

"Holy crap, young man, you really know how to have a girlfriend. The girl didn't even have a chance to pay." The stall owner's lips curled into a smile. "No wonder you have such a beautiful girlfriend."

Lu Jingchu smiled but remained silent.

Hey bro...did you forget you only have 200 yuan? You just spent 100 of it all at once, seriously...

Thank you. May I find a boyfriend like Lu Ge soon. Please bless me.

[She's so proactive, so proactive! Does anyone in the family understand?!]

[The boss has a good eye! It's our loving couple!]

[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter, boss, you really know how to compliment people.]

[Wait, am I the only one who noticed that Brother Lu didn't refute or explain?! He even smiled?!]

Yes, only you, only you noticed, that we're all blind...

After leaving their belongings with the stall owner, Shen Shiqing and Lu Jingchu headed to their next destination.

Meanwhile, at another restaurant.

The old man was having a meal with Qin Shiyue.

As soon as Qin Shiyue set up the recording equipment on the table, the old man hurriedly asked him what he wanted to eat.

Qin Shiyue had never eaten food from a small town before, so she had to let the old man order whatever he wanted and eat whatever he ordered.

The old man, following orders, ordered several dishes and a small bottle of wine, wanting to have a couple of drinks with Qin Shiyue.

Of course, Qin Shiyue is more concerned about the old man's battle situation right now.

Hmm, just how much gossip did he hear?

"Want to hear? Come closer, I'll whisper it to you. There are a lot of people here, and I'm afraid there might be someone I know."

"You're still afraid?" Qin Shiyue thought to herself, "You're probably afraid that someone involved might get beaten up."

"I just heard something: the son-in-law from the next village is having affairs with his mother-in-law and daughter, and the father-in-law is having affairs with the son-in-law's own mother!!!"

"A young man from the next town brought his girlfriend of seven years home to meet his parents. His sister brought her boyfriend of three years, and it turned out his girlfriend and his sister's boyfriend got together!!!"

A look of disbelief flashed across Qin Shiyue's face. This village really was full of gossip, even more exciting than the entertainment industry.

"And another thing, the richest businessman in our area divorced his wife and married her niece!!! I wouldn't believe it if their wedding hadn't been such a lavish affair..."

"Also, there are two kids in the next village who are getting married. One is 16 years old and the other is 17. Together they are not even as big as my shoe size."

"And there's something else you'd never guess... There's a family across the river where a woman gave birth to a daughter at 14, and then her daughter had a child at 14, and by 28 she was already a grandmother."

The old man thought for a moment, "I'm so old... and I haven't even become a grandfather yet, but this girl became a grandmother at 28???!!"

Qin Shiyue was astonished by the old man's series of explosive gossips, her expressions were priceless, and the live stream viewers were also incredibly curious.

【No, what are they saying? Can you speak louder?! I can't hear you!!!】

[Could this old man open a class specifically to talk about gossip?!]

[My dear son, why don't you give the live stream to the old man first? Mom really wants to hear this gossip!!!]

[I'm willing to pay to watch, I'm not kidding! What kind of gossip could possibly leave my son speechless?! ...

Every time something like this happens, I feel like I want to burst out of the screen!

...

Once all the dishes were served, Qin Shiyue was also hungry, so she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

The old man poured half a bowl of wine into his bowl.

"The alcohol content isn't high, so drink with confidence; you won't get drunk."

Hearing what the old man said, Qin Shiyue felt relieved. What would happen if she got drunk while recording the show?

The agent needs to kill him.

The restaurant even gave them a plate of fried peanuts as a snack with their drinks, so the old man must be a regular customer.

Qin Shiyue ate all the dishes and was surprised to find that they were indeed delicious, even comparable to those of his family's chef.

As expected, home-cooked meals still lack a certain warmth and homeliness.

While eating, Qin Shiyue also made sure to feed his adorable little chicks.

He's raising this chick like a pet, so he can't let it go hungry.

After putting the chick down, Qin Shiyue picked up her chopsticks again and continued eating.

Seeing Qin Shiyue eating with such relish, as if she were doing a mukbang, her fans couldn't sit still.

They remembered the bet they made with Qin Shiyue that morning, and a barrage of comments immediately appeared on the screen.

All of these were things that made him willing to accept defeat and fulfill his promise.

Of course, he was enjoying his meal right now and didn't have time to watch the live stream comments.

They would only occasionally pick up a few pieces of food and shove them at the screen, as if the fans had eaten too.

After finishing his meal, Qin Shiyue was about to pay when the old man was faster and paid before him.

We can't compete with them, we simply can't compete.

"How much did that meal cost, sir?" Qin Shiyue couldn't help but ask.

"The food, drinks, and rice cost 50 yuan in total."

"Holy crap!!??!" Wasabi is cheap? He thought this meal would cost several hundred.

Although he was about to pay, he was worried that his 200 yuan wouldn't be enough.

"You young people don't understand. Of course, prices in our small town can't compare to those in the city. Small towns have their advantages."

Qin Shiyue nodded in agreement, then turned his attention back to the live stream chat, finally noticing the fans' comments about "accepting the consequences of a bet."

As soon as the two stepped out of the shop, Qin Shiyue asked, "Sir, do you know what the worst food around here is? I'd like to try it."

The old man looked at him with a sick look, but then gave him an invincible big smile.

It's as if to say, "You've come to the right place!!"

Qin Shiyue had a feeling that he was up to no good, but since he only knew the old man, he might as well give it a try.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and catch up!!"

As soon as the old man's voice rang out, Qin Shiyue, carrying his chick, quickly followed.

Surprisingly, this old man is quite agile, walking so fast; his physical fitness is even better than that of a young man.

It's truly enviable, while he experiences dizziness and lightheadedness whenever he gets up from the sofa.

He figured it was probably from staying up too late.
