From a stall on one side of the street, Lin Ye ordered two drawers of steamed dumplings, a bowl of wontons, and added some chopped chili peppers that were fried until slightly burnt in the vinegar dish.
Looking at the coriander prepared on the plate next to him, Lin Ye seemed a little hesitant.
The stall owner selling snacks said with a smile: "Can't you get used to the taste? We didn't have anything like this here before. It was..."
Lin Ye asked: "Is your business going well?"
The stall owner said: "It's not very good, not all the people eating it."
Lin Ye picked up the plate and poured all the coriander into his wonton bowl. Not even a broken leaf was left, and he scooped it all in with chopsticks.
The stall opened his mouth but didn't say anything, but he felt sorry for the plate of coriander money. This thing has only just begun to exist and is worth a lot of money.
I originally wanted to use this thing as a gimmick to attract customers, but I didn't expect that I met a few people who liked it. They all said that it tasted stinky and weird.
This guy really likes to eat today.
“The wontons are not delicious, and the xiaolongbao is not delicious either.”
Lin Ye gave a very straightforward evaluation: "If it weren't for the coriander that seduces people, I'm afraid your business would be even colder."
The stall owner was furious: "Why do you say it's not delicious?"
Lin Ye stood up: "I'll make one for you to try."
Stall owner: "What are you bragging about? If you..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Lin Ye put a long knife on the table, like a magic trick. He didn't even see where the knife came from.
After the disguise, Lin Ye looked like a big man with a beard, which ordinary people couldn't tell.
He was standing on the roadside, chopping meat and mixing stuffing into steamed buns. He looked more like a stall owner than the stall owner.
After waiting for a while, the buns he made came out of the pan. The vendor didn't want to eat them, but Lin Ye picked up the knife, so the vendor bit the bullet and ate one, and then his eyes lit up.
"It's obviously meat and condiments, so why do the fillings you mix taste so good?"
Lin Ye replied: "Because I'm handsome."
After saying that, he shook his hair.
The hawker looked at this bearded guy and thought to himself, "You and Shuai are not even remotely related to each other."
Lin Ye wiped his hands and sat down to watch the stall owner eating voraciously. He smiled and said, "Don't think that just because you are careful enough to make something delicious, I have seen someone who is more attentive than you."
After finishing speaking, he happened to see several carriages passing by on the street, and an old man with gray hair sat in one of the carriages. Lin Ye was obviously stunned when he saw him.
Speaking of Lao Chen, see Lao Chen.
Old Chen was also looking outside, but he really didn't recognize that the bearded boy was the little Ye Zizi he thought about day and night.
And Lin Ye didn't dare to look too much, because he knew that no matter how clever his disguise was, Lao Chen would be able to detect something when he looked at him.
Lao Chen looked out of the car with a look that seemed a little nostalgic, and Lin Ye guessed that he was going on a long trip.
Thinking about it, apart from going to the north to see him and Chen Weiwei, Lao Chen seems to have no other distant places to go, and he doesn't have any other relatives at all.
Lao Chen also has a younger sister in Yunzhou. Lin Ye once sent someone to find her, hoping to persuade them to come to Geling to live there and reunite with Lao Chen.
But her sister is also tough. She told the people sent by Lin Ye... I looked down on him when he was a coward, but now that he is great, I won't fawn over him.
One can imagine how angry Lao Chen was at her, but was it really Lao Chen's reason for being so angry?
Later, Lin Ye also sent people to check the whereabouts of Lao Chen's wife and the man who ran away with Lao Chen's wife. After a long search, he finally got the news that the woman had been sold by the man a long time ago.
It was sold to a remote place in a poor country. The woman ran away twice, and later the buyer had her legs broken. He said that even if you become a cripple, you don't want to run away, as long as you can carry on the family line for me.
Not long after, the woman gave birth to a child, but due to lack of timely postpartum care, she died of infection.
As for that man, his fate was not much better than that of the woman. When he was gambling in a certain place, he was caught cheating and had his legs broken and all ten of his fingers chopped off.
Later, he was begging for food on the street, and then he was taken away by a group of beggars. These beggars forced him to beg for food, pretending to be poor, and all the money he got was taken away by those beggars.
Later, he also became seriously ill and died not long after.
Lin Ye had never mentioned these things to Lao Chen.
He knew that with a character like Lao Chen's, he probably wouldn't be happy with getting revenge.
He probably wouldn't say anything. If someone asked him urgently what he thought about the matter, he could only smile honestly and reply... I didn't expect that either.
But when no one else asked him, he should still feel that the woman was really pitiful.
This is Lao Chen, the Lao Chen who will not be liked by others but is never willing to hurt anyone.
No one in this world really likes cowardly people, but please remember, they are cowardly, but they do not harm others.
Lin Ye waited for those carriages to go away before he raised his head and looked over again. He could no longer see Old Chen, but he seemed to still be able to see the reluctance in Old Chen's eyes towards Ge Ling and his anticipation for meeting Lin Ye and
Chen Weiwei’s expectations.
"It's so enviable."
Eating the buns made by Lin Ye, the stall owner looked envious: "Look at that carriage, it's worth a lot of money. Ordinary people can't even afford such a carriage after saving their whole life."
Lin Ye asked: "Then what kind of person do you think should be in the carriage?"
The stall owner said: "I just saw an old man. He should be able to enjoy the blessing of children. How nice."
When Lin Ye heard this, he was speechless.
Blessings for children?
Lao Chen's son is already a great person. He is the acting temple master of Fengyu Temple, with a very high status and high prestige.
He was not related to Lao Chen but had a close relationship. But Lin Ye was already a general.
But, has he really enjoyed the blessing of having children?
If you ask Lao Chen what kind of life he hopes to live, his answer will definitely be... If the younger generations are all healthy and wealthy, then it will be good.
He would never say that he likes a life with juniors around him.
& nbs sps; he would say, the juniors are very good, it is good.
"This uncle."
The stall owner asked Lin Ye: "Do you know him?"
Lin Ye replied: "I know him. I have eaten his food before, but I haven't eaten it for a long time."
"Have you eaten the food he cooked? Then, why don't you recognize each other? You must be acquaintances."
"He used to sell noodles. His shredded chicken noodles were made with more care and seriousness than you, and they were even less delicious than yours."
The stall owner was confused, opened his eyes wide and asked, "How can you make a fortune?!"
Lin Ye nodded: "Shredded chicken noodles, huge profits."
After saying that, he left.
The next day, there was a young man selling chicken shredded noodles at this intersection who was full of expectations for the future.
The reason why Lin Ye was so idle teaching a vendor how to make buns on the roadside was because he was observing the quacks on the street.
From the first day he came back, he found that there were many people from other places in Geling City.
These people seemed to have a clear goal after entering the city, and they all headed towards a large inn.
While Lin Ye was eating steamed buns at the stall, two people asked the stall owner how to get to the inn.
Obviously, these Jianghu visitors came to Geling City for the same purpose.
The next day, Lin Ye saw the vendor at the intersection making noodles clumsily and cutting chicken shreds clumsily. He thought he might have made a mistake. Can you say that this stall owner is incompetent?
Of course not. He really wants to make money, so he wants to try it. His mobility is pretty good.
When Lin Ye sat down at his stall again, the vendor recognized him at a glance.
"Uncle."
The vendor chuckled and looked a little embarrassed.
"Can you make these shredded chicken noodles?"
Lin Ye nodded: "I can do it."
The vendor asked: "Is it really that profitable?"
Lin Ye said: "As long as you are not afraid of hardship and suffering, selling snacks will never let you down, unless what you make is really unpalatable... Well, what you make is really unpalatable."
After taking a bite of noodles, Lin Ye pushed the noodle bowl aside: "I taught you how to make steamed buns yesterday, why do you still want to buy shredded chicken noodles today?"
"Because uncle, you said that chicken shredded noodles are highly profitable and you can make a lot of money."
"But you can't do it."
"No, just learn. You can always learn by trying a little bit."
"Then have you ever thought that while you were constantly exploring, too many people who had eaten the noodles you made found it inedible, so your reputation was already bad before you even started?"
The hawker asked: "What should we do?"
Lin Ye asked: "Do you really want to make shredded chicken noodles?"
The vendor replied: "No."
Lin Ye: "Do you like making shredded chicken noodles?"
"I don't love it."
"Look, you are originally a bun seller. What you want to do is sell buns. What you love to do is sell buns. Why do you want to sell shredded chicken noodles?"
"I don't like selling steamed buns either."
"..."
The hawker said: "If I could make a lot of money, would I still do this?"
Lin Ye asked: "Then what are you good at?"
The hawker thought for a while and replied: "I'm good at thinking about how to make a lot of money, but I don't know how to do it."
Lin Ye smiled: "Then let's make shredded chicken noodles. The shredded chicken will be more, and the noodles will be more. After all, there are many people in this world who eat not because they are delicious, but because they are full."
The vendor asked: "Well, uncle, can you teach me how to make shredded chicken noodles?"
Lin Ye shook his head and said, "I can't."
The vendor asked: "Why?"
Lin Ye replied: "Because I am not your father."
The vendor was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips and said, "I've never seen such a stingy person. Isn't it just a bowl of shredded chicken noodles?"
Then I saw the uncle got up and left at some point, leaving a few copper coins on the table.
The hawker raised his head and looked, and saw that the uncle had already walked out several feet away. The hawker put away the copper coins and said to himself: "He is a nice guy, but he has a bad mouth."
Lin Ye got up because he saw someone he needed to follow. He had seen this person several times at the door of the inn in the past two days.
Yes, that vendor who sometimes sells noodles and sometimes sells steamed buns, his stall is not far from that inn.
Lin Ye didn't recognize the person walking in front, but he was sure that this person was the one receiving and settling in Jianghu guests.
That person's strength should be pretty good, he should be in Wuyue Realm, but not more than Wuyue Realm Sanman. To Lin Ye, a person with this level of cultivation is not worth mentioning, but for the entire world, such a person is still considered a big shot.
For a big shot in the Wuyue Realm to personally receive a group of Jianghu guests from out of town, this is a bit abnormal no matter how you say it.
Practitioners who have reached this level are extremely sensitive to their surroundings.
So although he didn't notice Lin Ye following him, he felt a little awkward. He looked back from time to time, but found nothing.
To be on the safe side, he still didn't go directly to where he wanted to go. Instead, he walked around Geling City for a long time, and finally arrived at Fengyu Temple after confirming that no one was following him.
Seeing that the man actually entered through the back door of Fengyu Temple, Lin Ye knew that Chen Weiwei was up to something.
Fengyu Temple wants to attract people from all walks of life.
This kind of thing should not be hidden. Mr. Xin must have known the news for a long time, but he ignored it, which means that what Chen Weiwei wanted to do may have been Xin Yanque's acquiescence or even fueled the situation.
Lin Ye has never been an indecisive person, nor a good person in the normal sense.
But his attitude towards Chen Weiwei has always been a bit complicated.
If it weren't for Lao Chen, but because he had practiced together under Yan Xiniu and Lei Hongliu, Lin Ye wouldn't have such complicated thoughts. What he cares about is the old man who left Geling in a carriage not long ago.
It was at this time that Lin Ye suddenly felt something was wrong.
He didn't look back, but he knew that an absolute master was coming behind him.
