The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 118 Sugar Fried Chestnuts
Lu Xiaofeng left, he really couldn't resist that Princess Danfeng's invitation.

Because she is really beautiful like a mortal woman.

Even though Lu Xiaofeng only saw her once, he would never forget her peerless appearance and noble temperament.

Lu Xiaofeng has seen many women, some are ugly and some are beautiful.

But he has never seen such a beautiful woman——

The jet-black hair hangs down her shoulders, but her face is pale, and a pair of jet-black pupils on her face are also shining black.

There are no other decorations, and no other colors.

Her eyes are as clear as the dew on the roses in the spring morning, and her voice is as soft as the wind, the spring breeze that blows the pool water on the distant mountain at dusk.

But her smile is mysterious, and it is so mysterious that it is like the sound of a flute from afar in the quiet night, so ethereal that it will never be elusive.

Faced with such a woman's invitation, few men can refuse.

Liu Yuhen couldn't do it, Xiao Qiuyu couldn't do it, Dugu Fang couldn't do it, and of course Lu Xiaofeng couldn't do it either.

In the empty cabin, a big hole was knocked into the walls on three sides, and the cool breeze kept pouring in.

Now, only Shen Youzhi and Huo Xiu are left in this not even a simple wooden house.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Huo Xiu asked suddenly.

"My surname is Liu." Shen Youzhi replied.

Huo Xiu was puzzled, with a blank expression on his face.

"I'm neither Lu Xiaofeng's father nor any of his relatives."

This sentence has already been said very straightforwardly, but in fact it can be more straightforward: what does it matter to me?

"But you're his friend."

"So?" Shen Youzhi raised his eyebrows.

There is no such thing as ethics in the world, which stipulates that friends must meddle in other people's affairs.

"Don't you want to see what kind of woman that Princess Danfeng is that can make Lu Xiaofeng want to stop so much?" Huo Xiu asked again.

"I'm more concerned about another thing than this."

"what?"

"Here, is there anything to eat?"

Huo Xiu was a little stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Shen Youzhi to suddenly want to eat, as if he didn't care about Lu Xiaofeng's departure.

After he regained his composure, he immediately smiled and said: "Of course, no matter what delicacies you want to eat, I have them here."

As long as there is something in this world, as long as he wants it, he will definitely get it.

"I don't want mountain delicacies or seafood, I just want a small bag of fried chestnuts." Shen Youzhi said.

However, it was this small bag of fried chestnuts, which was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, that made Huo Xiu, the number one rich man in the world, into trouble.

Because he didn't, at least for now, in this room, he didn't.

This kind of market snack is really not worthy of his status.

"It looks like you don't have one here."

After Shen Youzhi finished speaking, she got up and was about to leave.

"you are leaving?"

"Yes."

"Looking for sugar-fried chestnuts?"

"Yes."

"Okay, next time I will remember to specially prepare sugar-fried chestnuts."

Shen Youzhi nodded upon hearing this, and then slowly left Huo Xiu's cabin.

Huo Xiu looked at Shen Youzhi's leaving back, and gradually felt a little uneasy in his heart.

This is an unpredictable guy, I hope he doesn't ruin his plan.

Qingshi Town

Shen Youzhi came to a small town not far after leaving Huo Xiu's cabin.

This place is not considered prosperous, and there are not many people in the market, but Shen Youzhi seems to be extraordinarily lucky, and found a stall selling sugar-fried chestnuts——

A very old woman, wearing a blue dress covered with patches, seemed to have a big stone on her back, as if her waist had been crushed in the middle.

When she walked, she seemed to be bent over, looking for something on the ground.

Her face was so wrinkled that it looked like a piece of tissue paper that has been crumpled and then unrolled.

"Candied Chestnuts!"

She was also carrying a large bamboo basket covered with a thick cotton cloth.

"The sugar-fried chestnuts that have just come on the market, the fragrant and hot sugar-fried chestnuts, are only ten cents a pound."

A lonely and poor old woman, at the twilight of her life, would come out to sell her roasted chestnuts in sugar with her almost completely hoarse voice.

"Ten cents a catty?"

Shen Youzhi stepped forward and asked.

The old woman bowed her waist and nodded reluctantly, as if her head was about to hit the ground.

"too expensive."

Shen Youzhi began to bargain.

"It's only ten big bucks, sir, do you think it's too expensive?"

The old woman said helplessly.

"Otherwise, let's do this." Shen Youzhi suggested: "Ten cents a catty, but you have to let me choose the best one."

The old woman hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed, and handed the bamboo basket in front of Shen Youzhi.

Shen Youzhi lifted the cotton cloth covering the bamboo basket, first took out a piece of oiled paper from it, folded a paper bag randomly, and then carefully selected the chestnuts he thought were the best.

As Shen Youzhi picked out the chestnuts he wanted one by one, the surprise in the eyes of the old woman selling chestnuts deepened layer by layer——

All the chestnuts he picked were non-toxic chestnuts!

Not long after, Shen Youzhi was almost ready to choose, he weighed it with his hand a few times, and nodded with satisfaction.

"A total of four catties, forty wen."

After speaking, Shen Youzhi took out forty copper coins and put them into the bamboo basket.

Afterwards, he peeled a chestnut and put it in his mouth. The chestnut was indeed a good chestnut, soft and sweet.

"Thanks for shop with us."

The old woman said hoarsely.

"Aren't you going to order?"

Shen Youzhi asked back.

Whether it was the number of copper coins or the weight of the chestnuts, she seemed to have no intention of counting them, as if she could determine the weight of the chestnuts without looking.

In other words, the "best" chestnuts in this basket are only four catties in total?

"No need, a person of your status will definitely not deceive an old man like me."

The old woman said so.

After speaking, she was ready to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"go home."

"Your chestnuts don't seem to be sold out yet."

"The chestnuts are going to be cold, and they won't taste good when they're cold, so they can't be sold."

Shen Youzhi nodded when he heard the words, if the sugar-fried chestnuts were cold, they would indeed not taste good.

"The old man has bad legs and feet, let me see you off."

"No need."

"It's okay, a person like me must not let an old man go home alone."

The old woman felt a hand supporting her right arm, and her body stiffened.

Because she felt that the Qi channel in her right hand had been pinched.

If there is any abnormality in him, this person can completely break his own Qi veins and abolish his right hand in an instant!
"Let's go."

"That's fine then."

In this way, a warm picture of a young hero helping a poor old lady is created.

"Young man, you have such a kind heart!"

"Ha, respect the old and love the young, it should be."

Pooh!Shameless.

"Well, there are not many young people like you now."

"really."

"Which way to go?"

"right."

"How far is it?"

"coming soon. coming soon"
