Ignoring Xu Qingyi, who was secretly wiping away tears in the courtyard, Lin Yifeng turned around and went inside to see how the others were doing.

The room was incredibly lively.

Feng Cuie and Bai Yejin were preparing dumpling filling for dinner, while Xu Wanxia was squatting on the ground nearby, diligently pounding garlic.

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Lin Yifeng moved a small stool over and started teasing him from the side.

"Sunset Glow, how's life in Shanghai?"

"I remember your roommates were pretty nice people."

"After I left, did you go out with them?"

When Xu Wanxia saw Lin Yifeng questioning her like this, she also showed her two little tiger teeth.

"It's alright, but not as comfortable as home."

“My roommates are all very nice; they often take me out to eat.”

"Want to play? I haven't gone out much..."

These words also caught Feng Cuie's attention.

"Girl, what's Shanghai like?"

"My mother has been a country girl her whole life and has never been to a big city."

When Xu Wanxia heard Feng Cuie's question, she patiently explained what she had seen and heard in Shanghai.

All sorts of skyscrapers, and all sorts of subways and trams.

Upon hearing this, Feng Cuie also asked curiously.

"Is Shanghai really like it is on TV, with bright lights at night?"

Xu Wanxia paused slightly, her tone hesitant.

"Yeah, some places are brightly lit and bustling, while others have nothing at all."

"The city center is very bustling, but apart from the city center, the rest of the area is no different from our county town."

"And everything is expensive."

Feng Cuie nodded blankly, while Bai Yejin beside her was also full of doubt.

Neither of them had ever been to any big cities in their lives. Bai Yejin and Lin Yifeng always went out as tourists, as if they were living in big cities long-term, which was something they couldn't imagine.

Feng Cuie thought for a while, then suddenly turned to look at Lin Yifeng.

"Son, what does 'bright lights and bustling activity' mean? Is it a shop?"

Lin Yifeng smiled upon seeing this.

"Mom, the sunset is a description of the many lights over there, and the lights are of many colors at night."

Feng Cuie nodded again, her expression now showing more worry.

"That would probably hurt your eyes."

"When we eat fish tonight, none of you should try to steal the fish eyes from Wanxia. Wanxia needs to replenish her energy properly."

Hearing this, Lin Yifeng smiled knowingly.

My mother was illiterate and didn't understand the glitz and glamour of the city. What she cared about most was whether her daughter would suffer in the city. Whether it was prosperous or not was actually not important.

As dusk fell, her nose tingled, and she quietly wiped away her tears.

Seeing that Xu Wanxia was almost moved to tears, Lin Yifeng jokingly teased her.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

“Our Mixue Ice Cream brand is going to cry; the brand is going to suffer.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Wanxia, ​​who was initially deeply moved, was suddenly amused by Lin Yifeng's words.

"Brother Feng, you're bringing this up again?!"

Bai Yejin, on the other hand, became interested and looked at the two of them with suspicion.

"What 'Miss Mixue Ice Cream'?"

Just as Lin Yifeng was about to open his mouth, Xu Wanxia, ​​her hands reeking of garlic, came up and covered Lin Yifeng's mouth.

At this moment, Xu Wanxia was both ashamed and angry, and hurriedly shouted at Lin Yifeng.

"Brother! Don't tell!"

"elder brother!"

Lin Yifeng broke free from Xu Wanxia's grasp and grinned mischievously as he called out to the others.

"It's nothing."

"When Mixue Ice Cream opened in Shanghai, people would call her 'Miss' when she went to the store."

"I reckon she's famous at school now!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wanxia became genuinely anxious.

Ever since that incident, when the shop owner impulsively called out "Miss," the title has become widely known.

So much so that when she went shopping with her roommates on her days off, people would excitedly rush out to greet her as they passed by shops.

This led to a rumor circulating at the school.

Xu Wanxia's brother is the owner of a large company in Shanghai, and Xu Wanxia is the heir to the family business. Such news is constantly emerging, to the point that even the school leaders treat her with utmost respect.

Not to mention, Lin Yifeng drove his W14 to the school, which further confirmed this conjecture.

Later, Xu Wanxia took a part-time job in the cafeteria. People usually called it "working and studying," but for her, it was more like "going on a secret visit."

Xu Wanxia was also helpless about this matter and could only let her classmates spread rumors.

After that, Lin Yifeng didn't say much, and everyone asked Xu Wanxia how her life was in Shanghai.

After hearing that Xu Wanxia was living comfortably in Shanghai, Lin Yifeng looked at her with eyes full of affection.

When she was almost done with her work, Xu Wanxia suddenly remembered something and turned to call out to Lin Yifeng.

"By the way, bro."

"Uncle Duan, here's something I asked you to bring back."

"I almost forgot."

After saying that, Xu Wanxia wiped her hands and hurriedly walked towards the room.

Lin Yifeng followed behind into the house, still pondering in his mind.

What did Duan Yusheng bring me?

This made Lin Yifeng very curious. He had a fairly good relationship with Duan Yusheng, but he really couldn't imagine what Duan Yusheng would bring him.

It wasn't until Xu Wanxia took out a tightly wrapped black plastic bag from her bag that the problem was resolved.

Lin Yifeng stared at the black plastic bag, a hint of shock in his eyes.

This thing... it can't be...

As someone whose hometown is in Northeast China, if you were to ask Duan Yusheng what his hometown is famous for, wood ear mushrooms would definitely be number one.

But if you're talking about the most prestigious thing, it's definitely something very serious.

After all, the biggest reason why Northeastern cuisine can't be served at state banquets is that many of the ingredients are listed in the criminal law. For example, if these two dishes were made using traditional methods, I'm afraid no one would dare to touch them first.

However, Lin Yifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief after opening the black bag.

Inside was a large Ganoderma lucidum, plus two wooden boxes containing old ginseng, which was indeed very valuable in this day and age. Lin Yifeng could tell that Duan Yusheng had gone to great lengths.

Until Xu Wanxia pulled out a huge glass bottle containing brown powder.

When Lin Yifeng saw the jar, his heart skipped a beat.
