Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

As the burly man spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed the old man by the collar.

Seeing the ferocious look on the other person's face, Qian Jiali couldn't help but worry and quickly tried to persuade him.

"Ling, you've seen it now, this old man's been swindling people, and now they've come knocking on his door!"

"If you ask me, let's just forget about it. If he were really capable, why would he have made such a mess of things?"

"Don't rush, let's go up and ask what's going on!"

Compared to Qian Jiali's impulsiveness, Luo Ling appeared much calmer, and while speaking, she stepped forward despite the obstruction.

"Brother, you seem quite young, why make things difficult for an old man?"

"If you have something to say, just say it all. If it really is the old man's fault, just call the police. Otherwise, if you hit someone, you might have to pay compensation for nothing!"

"Do you even have the right to speak?" The burly man frowned slightly and said disdainfully to Luo Ling.

But the next second, when Qian Jiali arrived in her tricycle and stood next to Luo Ling, the burly man's expression immediately changed.

These days, anyone who can afford a farm tricycle is a wealthy person who's doing very well in their area and earns tens of thousands of yuan!

The burly man looked imposing, but in the end he was just an ordinary person, so naturally no one would dare to offend him.

"Hey girl, I was really angry just now, so my tone was a bit harsh. Please don't take it to heart."

"Last week I asked this old man to cook a feast. At first, my family ate well, and many villagers praised him. I thought I had found the right person this time, but who knew that something bad would happen that night!"

"Everyone who ate at the banquet that day suffered from severe diarrhea and dehydration; they clearly ate something that upset their stomachs, and it was all because of the old man's cooking!"

"I don't think so, old man. Can you tell me what happened back then?" Luo Ling shook her head and turned to the old man.

Even as an observer, Luo Ling could tell that there was probably more to this story than met the eye!

Sure enough, the old man curled his lip and gave the burly man a disgruntled look.

"This kid has the nerve to ask me? Kid, let me ask you, what did I tell you when you bought that pork?"

"This pig was sick before it died. Eating pork from a sick pig will cause illness. You were only thinking about saving money and wouldn't listen to any advice. In the end, you even said I'm an incompetent old man?"

The old man got angrier and angrier, and he shook off the strong man's arm and grabbed the man's collar instead!

"It's broad daylight today, and instead of reasoning with me, I'm going to cause you trouble!"

"You've been making a huge fuss everywhere, almost ruining this old man's reputation. Do you know you nearly made me miss out on a big deal?"

"You..." Upon hearing this, the burly man's expression changed slightly, and he immediately began to defend himself.

Before he could speak, Luo Ling interrupted him, saying, "You two both have your own reasons, why don't you just go to the police station!"

"Let the police be witnesses and see who's lying. But in the end, when the truth comes out, the liar might not be able to walk out of there!"

The argument between the two sides had already attracted a lot of onlookers. When the crowd heard Luo Ling's idea, they immediately clapped and cheered, and a commotion broke out.

"This girl is right. If you all really think you're right, then go make a scene at the police station!"

"We've already entered a period of reform and opening up, why bother with fighting and killing? Stop causing trouble here and affecting business!"

"That's right, we're all waiting for the boss to come and hire workers. What if you scare him away with this commotion?"

Immediately, under the accusations of the crowd, the burly man was the first to lower his head.

He shoved the old man aside, glared at him fiercely, uttered a harsh word, and fled in a sorry state.

"You're lucky today, someone stood up for you. Just you wait, if I see you again, I'll make you pay!"

The old man, with a disdainful look, stuck out his tongue: "Young people have no manners. They made a mistake and don't even dare to admit it. Come anytime, I'm always ready!"

As he spoke, the old man turned around, glanced at Luo Ling, and smiled.

"You're a kind-hearted girl, aren't you? Well, just for speaking up for me earlier, you've caught my eye!"

"Come on, let me see just how big your restaurant is. I'm an old man with a master chef's skills; if the place is too small, I won't work here!"

As he spoke, the old man tilted his head back and climbed onto the back of the tricycle.

Seeing this, Qian Jiali felt resentful.

"Why is this old man so arrogant?"

Luo Ling nudged Qian Jiali with her elbow to shut her up, while also offering some words of advice.

"Alright, Sister Qian, stop talking. Let's hurry back and find a kitchen so the old man can try out the dishes."

"I believe the old gentleman is a capable person. We'll discuss the compensation details properly then."

With Luo Ling's insistence, the three of them soon returned to Factory Street.

Ye Chen had already handed the shop key to Luo Ling, and Luo Ling opened the door without saying a word.

We found the kitchen in the backyard!

"Sir, since this is a food tasting, why don't you tell me what your specialties are?"

"Please wait a moment. What ingredients do you need? I'll go buy them right away. As you can see, this shop is my restaurant's premises. I plan to expand it further later; it's quite spacious, enough for you to showcase your culinary skills!"

Luo Ling asked the question, and at the end, she didn't forget to introduce herself.

The old man nodded, looked around, and waved reluctantly.

"If this were in the past, a shop as big as yours wouldn't have been able to get me to come. Even back in the day, when I asked Zuiyuelou, he refused!"

"However, things are different now. Here's what we'll do: you go to the market and buy groceries, and whatever you buy, I'll cook for you. I'll show you what it means to be all-rounder!"

Upon hearing of such an arrogant act, Qian Jiali couldn't help but curl her lip.

That old man is really arrogant, making such boastful claims. Let's see how I deal with him!

In order to create opportunities, Qian Jiali even volunteered herself.

"Sister Luo, you've had a long day. Why don't you two chat here? I'm going to the market to buy some groceries, I'll be right back!"

Without waiting for Luo Ling to refuse, Qian Jiali turned and left in a flurry of activity.

Luo Ling frowned slightly as she watched Qian Jiali's flustered back. Having known each other for so long, how could Luo Ling not see through Qian Jiali's thoughts?

However, this time Qian Jiali's idea was exactly what Luo Ling wanted!

Since the old man dares to boast like this, he must have some skills. As the boss, I shouldn't make things difficult for him. It would be better to let Qian Jiali test the old man's skills!

"Then, Sister Qian, I'm leaving this matter to you. Go and come back quickly!"

Qian Jiali waved her hand without turning her head and said affirmatively.

"Don't worry about me, just wait and see. I'll be back soon! I promise you'll have a surprise."
