"No wonder! You've been acting so mysterious every day. Turns out it's you, kid!"
Uncle Shen's smile became brighter. He took Su Bai to the tea room and made tea himself.
"I've seen news about you on TV before, and I've actually really wanted to meet you. You're amazing! Whether it's your so-called great foundation or the poverty alleviation work you did a while ago, you've done a great job! Very good!"
When Mr. Shen said this, he had an aura about him, and he was completely different from the usual cute old man with a slightly impatient temper.
Instead, he has the aura of someone who has been in a high position for many years.
Su Bai rubbed his head a little embarrassedly. "Oh, I was just impulsive and wanted to do something within my ability. I am where I am today because I have a stable and prosperous motherland. Otherwise, if I was born in a place like BLST, I would definitely not have such a good life now."
Mr. Shen's expression became a little more serious. "The fact that you can say something like that makes you better than 90% of young people!"
Pouring Su Bai a cup of tea, Mr. Shen continued, "I've seen many children your age, including my disappointing grandson. He doesn't even know how to show off or have fun with a little money. How can he still have a heart of gratitude towards his motherland?"
"Don't be so modest. I remember you were one of the top ten outstanding young people in the country announced a while ago, right? You really deserve it!"
"I'd be so proud if you praised me again, old man!"
"You should be proud! You're so outstanding and have such positive values, why shouldn't you be proud?"
Su Bai was a little overwhelmed by the praise. If he were to argue with him, he would immediately turn into a god of war, but he felt a little embarrassed to be praised like this by an old man who had obviously retired from a high position.
Then he changed the subject: "Old man, I came here for a few things today."
"Firstly, thank you for your help the past two days. It really saved me a lot of trouble. I'm a greedy person and I love to eat good food, so my cooking skills have always been pretty good. Recently, I feel like my cooking skills can be improved, so I've been hiding my identity and traveling around the country to try local delicacies and set up some stalls to gain more experience."
This was the reason Su Bai had thought of long ago.
After all, it is impossible to say that it is a system task, so his operation must have a name, and this explanation is more reasonable.
"I was wondering, why would a big star like you come to our place to sell stinky tofu instead of filming, singing, and doing good deeds? I see!"
Uncle Shen drank a sip of tea, then squinted his eyes and looked at Su Bai and smiled:
"So the second thing is to say goodbye to my old man?"
Su Bai couldn't help but give Mr. Shen another thumbs up.
This old man is really smart. Often, as long as you say a little, he can guess what you are going to say next.
As expected of someone who has climbed to a high position in the system, his emotional intelligence is really high!
"Yes, old man. I usually don't stay in one place for too long, so I probably won't set up a stall today."
A trace of regret flashed across Mr. Shen's face.
Although he knew that he would not be able to eat this stinky tofu for long the moment he saw Su Bai's face, he was still a little reluctant to hear from Su Bai that he was leaving.
Not only for the taste, but Uncle Shen would often stop for a while to chat with Su Bai after buying stinky tofu these days. This young man was very likable, spoke well, and had many interesting views on things.
He is much better than his son who only knows how to make money and his grandson who only knows how to spend money.
"Ah, the old man understands!"
"You actually have a lot to carry on your shoulders, and you have more important and meaningful things to do. Any of these things are much more meaningful than selling stinky tofu. It's just that you won't be able to eat such delicious stinky tofu in the future."
Hearing the old man's slightly lonely tone, Su Bai suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
He is the kind of person who respects the elderly and doesn't care about the young, no matter if it's his own grandfather, his godfather, or the old man Xie before him and the old man Shen in front of him.
The heartfelt care of these old men warms our hearts!
Su Bai was an orphan in his previous life. He really enjoyed and was grateful for this kind of care.
"Who said we can't eat it anymore?! This is the third reason I came here today. Old man, I'll leave my bucket of old brine to you. And the last thing I want to do today is to teach you how to make this stinky tofu. You can eat it whenever you want!"
