Shen Huaiyu noticed Feng Lingyu's actions and asked in a low voice: "Why, is there something you are interested in?"
"Hmm," Feng Lingyu pursed her lips, but she was still a little unsure, so she said, "Let's go over and ask."
Feng Lingyu and Shen Huaiyu came directly to the old man's stall. Feng Lingyu squatted down and looked at the things he displayed carefully.
The lady selling chickens saw two good-looking and well-dressed young men stop in front of the old man's stall, and muttered in her heart that it was a pity that people with such good conditions had such stupid brains.
He still enjoys looking at all this junk.
"Uncle, can I ask where these things come from?" Feng Lingyu asked.
The old man sat there motionless as a mountain, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting. Even when someone came to his stall, he didn't react at all and didn't even open his eyes.
The lady selling chickens complained in her heart that the old man was being pretentious. No one would steal such junk, so of course there was no need to watch him.
Just to fool fools.
Fool Feng Lingyu and Fool Shen Huaiyu: ...
When he heard the question, the old man opened his eyes slightly.
He looked the two young men up and down before speaking in a hoarse voice: "Why are you asking these questions? Tell me which one you like. After all, these things are not stolen."
Although the old man had a bad attitude, Feng Lingyu was still good-tempered and didn't get angry. Instead, he said with interest: "Uncle, I like all the things you have here. What do you want to exchange for?"
The lady selling the chickens had been leaning sideways to eavesdrop on what was going on here. After hearing Feng Lingyu say that she wanted them all, she finally couldn't help it.
"Hey little girl, if you're curious, just change it. It's useless for you to take it home."
Feng Lingyu curled her lips and smiled: "I bought it because I needed it."
Seeing that she couldn't be persuaded, the old lady turned her gaze to Shen Huaiyu and said, "Young man, you have to persuade your wife. It's not a good habit for her to use up all the things in the house at such a young age."
Although Shen Huaiyu was somewhat happy when the aunt said that Xiaoyu was his daughter-in-law, his expression was indifferent: “Don’t worry about my family’s affairs.”
After a series of setbacks, the old lady looked unhappy.
Your kindness is really taken for granted!
The old man waited until they finished speaking before he lazily sat up. His eyes had become dim and cloudy due to old age, but Feng Lingyu could still see the wisdom in them.
"Are you sure you want them all?" the old man asked.
"Yes, tell me what you need in exchange." Feng Lingyu replied calmly.
The old man became interested and asked, "Do you know what I'm selling?"
"I know a little bit." Feng Lingyu smiled faintly, and then said casually, "I have a good friend who picked up a home cooking recipe book some time ago. After studying it for a few months, his cooking skills improved greatly-"
"I think the kitchen knife you have here is very suitable for my friend. I want to take it back and give it to her."
The old man's eyes flickered, and he said in an ambiguous tone, "You actually found that recipe book."
"What does the old gentleman mean?" Feng Lingyu pretended to be confused.
"Okay, now that you mentioned it in front of me, don't pretend you know nothing. You recognized it after seeing these books I put out, right?" The old man snorted.
Feng Lingyu touched his nose and said angrily, "That's true. I can't bear to see such a precious thing lying on the ground so casually."
If a home cooking recipe book is so excellent, you can imagine how valuable these other recipes are without having to think too much.
"I just don't know if the old gentleman is willing to give it up to me."
"You girl, although young, have so many tricks in your head. I've laid it out in front of everyone, what do you mean? It doesn't matter who you give it to, as long as you can give me what I want." As he spoke, the old man dusted off the snow on his body, and his eyes showed a different look.
The lady selling the chicks murmured in her heart, could it really be some treasure?
But Feng Lingyu and the old man spoke very obscurely. The old lady listened carefully for a while but still didn't understand what they were talking about.
"Here, if I don't have what you want, I guess no one can give it to you." Feng Lingyu raised his eyebrows and said confidently.
This is not an exaggeration. She has the space and the Feng family's wealth as her backing, so she can take out many things without blinking an eye.
And this old man's identity is nothing more than a cook.
As a cook, that’s all you want.
"Young comrade, you are too arrogant." The old man frowned and said with some displeasure.
It is a good thing for young people to be confident, but being overconfident becomes arrogance.
"It's just the truth." Feng Lingyu spread his hands, "Old man, it's time for you to tell me what you want."
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Feng Lingyu continued, "You should always tell me what you want. It's too arbitrary to assume that I can't give you what you want without even saying it."
"Besides - you've been waiting here for so long today, is there anyone who knows what's good?"
This is the most crucial point. The old man hides the treasures among the rubbish and sells them together. Isn’t it just to find someone who knows the value of the treasure?
Otherwise your hard work will be wasted by people who don’t understand.
The old man stiffened suddenly, and his back, which had finally straightened, became hunched again.
He sighed, "Never mind. Just stretch out your hand."
Feng Lingyu stretched out her hand, and the old man handed her a note with a droopy look.
Feng Lingyu knew that what was written on the note was what he really wanted.
Feng Lingyu reached out to open the note, and was stunned after seeing what was written on it.
The old man was not disappointed by her reaction. He didn't have much hope for a little girl. "You haven't heard of anything here, have you? You are still young..."
