Su Nanxi became interested. Was Old Man Lu being watched?

"Who is he avoiding? Is he incurring debts of gratitude or romantic entanglements?"

Yan Feng laughed and said, "Who knows! Su Su can ask him when he comes back another day."

Su Nanxi rolled her eyes at him. He clearly knew, but he didn't tell anyone. It was a bit annoying!

Can't you see everyone wants to know?

If it's a scandalous story, I'd really like to hear about it.

Old Lu is a man who is neither particularly easy to get along with nor particularly difficult to get along with. He has a rather peculiar personality that is not easily understood by most people, as he is always silent and no one knows what he is thinking.

I've never heard of that old man having any relatives. He's always traveling around alone with his apprentice, and I guess he's explored every corner of the world.

Meeting so many people without getting caught up in any trouble would seem like a bad thing!

But then again, if it really is about avoiding peach blossoms, then those peach blossoms must be quite old, well, the kind that are about to wither!

Anyway, Su Nanxi felt that she probably wouldn't be the young girl type.

If Old Man Lu was so determined to avoid it, then the historical connection must be quite deep; there might even be a story behind it!

When Old Man Lu arrives, we really need to ask him properly; everyone is quite concerned about him!

"Yanfeng, you're so unfair! You know it but don't tell us, aren't you just keeping us in suspense? Look at how smug you are, something interesting must have happened, tell us quickly!"

Bai Lu is straightforward and speaks her mind directly.

Yan Feng shook his head, his expression somewhat bitter. "No, I really can't say. It's not a big deal anyway. If you're really interested, you can ask him directly!"

Listen to that, it's really rude!

If you know something but can't say it, what is there that you can't say?

Suddenly, everyone else seemed to realize the same thing: wow, there really is something amazing going on!

hey-hey!

Seeing everyone looking at him, Yan Feng could only explain with a bitter face, "I promised not to tell anyone, you can't make me go back on my word and be someone without any integrity! You all know that old man knows how to use drugs, if he finds out that I told him, he'll happily drug me again, I'll be devastated! You know he's busy, so don't ask any more questions! It's not a big deal anyway, it's just entertainment, there are plenty of other things, aren't there? There's already a lot of gossip going around!"

Everyone scoffed, but ultimately didn't press the matter further.

Because that's something Old Man Lu would do!

Don't let that old man's honest appearance fool you; he's got a lot of bad intentions. If you mess with him, he'll be very stingy. Drugging you is the least of his worries. If he doesn't leave you in bed for ten days or half a month, you're already showing mercy!

Therefore, Yan Feng wasn't lying, but he could also guess that it definitely wasn't a good thing; to be precise, it was probably an embarrassing incident involving Old Man Lu!

If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. It'll be found out sooner or later anyway!

Yan Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was going to pursue the matter any further. It was all that old man's fault!

Sigh, it's his own fault. What bad luck, he had to run into this!

If he isn't discovered and his face isn't seen, he'll pretend he doesn't know anything!

"These vegetables are delicious, Ugly Girl, they must be from your estate, right? Make me more some next time, they're so good! Once I get used to this taste, when I go back to eat other things, they just don't taste right! It's unbearable, almost impossible to swallow!"

Old Xu ate his vegetables, smacked his lips a few times, seemingly savoring something, his expression one of pure bliss. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was eating some kind of delicacy!

As a result, all he got were a few plates of vegetables in front of him.

The old man had to reach quite far to reach the meat and vegetables, which shows that he preferred vegetables to meat!

However, vegetables alone are not enough; he still needs to eat meat. According to him, a balanced diet is essential!

I love them all, but I prefer vegetables a bit more!

He really liked the vegetables that Su Nanxi brought back, and thought they tasted especially delicious!

Su Nanxi smiled inwardly. Of course! It was watered with spiritual spring water, how could it not taste good!

You should know that her vegetables are sold at high prices and are limited editions. She has no trouble selling them at all. To exaggerate a bit, there aren't enough of them to go around!

Those who arrive late will find everything sold out, and they'll have to line up before dawn the next day to continue their shopping spree!

It once sparked a frenzy of buying vegetables; no matter how expensive they were, people still had to buy them—there was no other way!

She was even praised by some people, who described some of her effects, which she herself was not even sure about, in a very reasonable way!

We really have to thank these people for being so eloquent!

They've even labeled it with beauty, health, and disease-curing effects!

It sounds like a false advertisement, but strangely enough, so many people believe it!

The shopkeeper tried to clarify, but it had no effect whatsoever. People outside were convinced that those vegetables really did have so many beneficial effects!

Sigh, let's just not say anything. People only believe what they want to believe, and they won't believe what others say at all!

So they let those people say what they wanted. However, the shopkeeper still posted a notice outside the store, clearly informing customers to make rational choices, buy reasonably, and not to believe everything they hear!

But once the customers have tasted it, they know what's what, so they don't even glance at it again. They just strut in and hurry to buy, or they'll miss out!

Every day it's a race against time; if you don't have the stamina, you really can't buy them!

Even though the quantity was later increased, it still wasn't enough to meet demand!

A trend has emerged in the capital that people consider it an honor to eat this delicious vegetable!

Later, when fresh fruit came on the shelves, people started scrambling to buy it, grabbing whatever they could get their hands on!

I bought it and tried it, it was so delicious, I almost cried from the taste, it was totally worth it!

So everyone wanted to buy it back, and sent people to buy as much as they could so that their families could try it!

This is the time to show off your wealth!

Other provinces can afford to eat this, so I can't lose too badly. I have to get some to try. Money isn't the most important thing. What matters is that when we meet up and chat, we can have something to talk about!

If you've never eaten any of these foods, wouldn't you seem ignorant if someone asked you about it?

Not paying attention to current events also shows that they don't have money and can't afford it, which is embarrassing!

That's just how social circles are in Beijing; it's impossible not to compare yourself to others!

It's not surprising that Old Xu likes to eat.

"You're so picky! Don't all vegetables taste the same? You can't possibly taste meat in them, can you?"

Su Nanxi deliberately prevented Old Man Xu from getting his way.

Old Xu snorted, "The local environment shapes the local cuisine! They're all the same! It doesn't taste like meat, but it tastes just as good!"

Su Nanxi was speechless. Wasn't it supposed to be about raising people in one area? How did it get changed to "raising local cuisine"?

It was all said by that old man!

Alright, considering that the old man has helped a lot in such a short time, let's grant his wish.

"You really have a good appetite! Do you want some fruit? If so, have someone send it over too!"

Old Xu thought he'd have to haggle a bit longer, but to his surprise, the man agreed, "Yes!"
