I've been possessed by a culinary genius, and I've turned Shaxian snacks into a rip-off!

"Ouch!"

The old man stumbled and fell in front of Sister Zhao's stall.

The overworked office workers waiting for their fried rice nearby were also startled.

"Holy crap! An elderly person has fallen."

"Someone please help me up!"

"Go help him up!"

"Me? I don't have any money. What if it's a staged accident?"

"Yeah, who dares to help an old lady these days? I saw a news story about a guy who helped an old lady and got swindled out of 200,000 yuan. He spent two years in court before he finally got out, and he even had to sell his house."

"Don't even mention it. A relative of mine works as an auxiliary police officer. He said that now when an elderly person falls, they need at least two officers to respond and record the whole thing on video, otherwise it's hard to explain."

"......"

The group chatted amongst themselves, and while they did have some compassion, none of them dared to make a move.

It's not that they're cold-blooded.

The main problem is that there are too many news stories online these days about people being extorted after helping elderly people.

Those kind-hearted people simply lent a helping hand, but the elderly person's family filed a lawsuit against them, causing family discord, financial losses, and emotional distress.

Moreover, they are just a group of ordinary wage slaves who have no ability to withstand risks at all.

If you accidentally run into someone trying to scam you, let alone 100,000 or 200,000, even 20,000 would be enough to bankrupt them.

Zhao Xiaomei instinctively reached out to help, but hesitated after taking a step.

She was scared too.

She's still heavily in debt and needs to pay for her son's medical treatment; she really can't afford to take any risks.

But if she didn't help, she would feel bad.

The old man was lying on the ground, and it was heartbreaking to see.

Just as she was caught in a dilemma.

Hearing the commotion outside, Li Zhibai came out of the shop.

When he saw an old man fall, his first reaction was similar to that of the onlookers.

Be careful! Be very careful!

These days, you simply can't help the elderly.

He's also heavily in debt, and if he's unlucky enough to be extorted, things will get even worse.

Let's call the police.

Anyway, the police patrolling around Financial Street arrive quickly, so let the professionals handle the professional matters.

Just as he took out his phone to make a call, his "Category A" talent was activated.

A blinding golden light emanated from the old man lying on the ground, almost blinding his titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

[Customer: A retired local resident of Jiangcheng]

[Personal Wealth: Gold]

[His favorite food: braised pork, a dish imbued with love and affection, has been on his mind for 11 years, and there's a story behind it.]

"Holy crap! The Golden Legend!"

Since the business opened, Li Zhibai has seen mostly green and blue, occasionally a few purples, but has never seen a single gold.

Most importantly, he also saw the same hidden information about the other person as Sister Zhao, indicating that this braised pork is very likely the next dish he needs to unlock.

A wolf-like green light gradually appeared in Li Zhibai's eyes, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch uncontrollably; he wanted to grin.

"If I let this ultimate sucker get away for nothing, would I even be human?!"

While everyone was still standing there debating whether or not to help the elderly man, Li Zhibai immediately rushed over at top speed.

That speed is so fast, even Usain Bolt would have to give him a thumbs up.

Then he slid down to the old man's side, helped him up, and asked with concern:

"Sir! Sir, what's wrong?"

"How did you fall down in the middle of the night? Why were you out alone without anyone with you? It breaks my heart to see you like this!"

uncle:"???"

This kid is so enthusiastic! But his eyes look a little strange, which makes him feel a bit uneasy.

Seeing Li Zhibai help the old man, Zhao Xiaomei quickly took out her phone and started recording: "Boss Li, I'll record you."

Although she didn't dare to help him up herself, she could still leave some evidence for Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai turned around and gave her a thumbs up, then carefully helped the old man up.

"Sir, are you alright? Does your leg hurt? Should we call an ambulance? I'll call 120 right away. Please don't move, don't rush to stand up, take it slow."

The old man's surname was Huo, and his given name was Wang.

Huo Wang was indeed a little dazed after taking that fall.

He was over seventy years old, and his body was not as strong as it used to be. This fall almost took his life.

When he stood up, he saw that everyone around him was taking pictures of him with their phones, and he felt a strange mix of emotions.

He doesn't blame them; he blames the wicked people who chilled everyone's hearts.

Then he looked at the young man who had helped him up and thanked him, saying, "Young man, thank you. I'm fine, no need to call 120 for me."

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Li Zhibai breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, he didn't want the old man to be taken away so soon either.

At least have a meal at his restaurant before taking the ambulance.

Huo Wang felt a surge of warmth in his heart: "Young man, there aren't many people who dare to help the elderly these days. You're very good and responsible."

"Grandpa, what are you saying? Helping the elderly is a traditional virtue of our nation. I, Li Zhibai, was taught from a young age to respect the elderly and care for the young, and to help those in need. If I saw you fall and didn't help you up, would I even be human?"

Huo Wang was even more moved and patted Li Zhibai's hand: "Good, good, good, young man, you're really good! Really good!"

"I'm fine now, let go, I can walk by myself."

"How can that be?" Li Zhibai not only didn't let go, but instead supported the old man's arm: "Grandpa, although your leg doesn't seem to be seriously injured, just to be on the safe side, I think you still need to find a place to sit for a while, rest, and then go home."

"How about this, why don't you come in and have a seat at my shop? I'm still open, so I can still... cough cough... I can even get you something to eat."

Huo Wang: "Thank you, young man. I'm really fine, and I'm not hungry either."

Seeing that the old man was not listening, Li Zhibai immediately put on a stern face: "Sir! You have to listen to me on this matter. I'm really worried about you leaving like this. Just wait for your family to come and pick you up at my shop!"

"There's no room for discussion! You have to listen to me!"

Seeing the young boss's serious and stubborn expression, Huo felt even warmer inside.

I thought to myself, this young man is so kind and enthusiastic, and he seems to be the kind of person who is exceptionally kind, upright, and has very positive values.

Excellent! Excellent!

"Okay, then I'll sit for a while. I hope I won't interrupt your business?"

"What do you mean by delaying me? It's an honor for you to come into my shop, sir. Come, come, it's windy outside. You just fell and you can't catch a cold." Li Zhibai said as he helped the old man into the shop.

Huo Wang was thus half-pushed and half-carried into the shop.

Sister Zhao and the passersby all gave him a thumbs up when they saw this.

What a kind person! What a righteous boss!

He deserves a thumbs up.

One customer even decided to go into the store to make a purchase because of this scene, as a way of showing support for the owner of Shaxian snacks.

But as soon as he entered the store and saw the prices on the menu on the wall, he turned around and left in a flash.

It's password protected; there's something fishy inside!

.........

After Li Zhibai helped the old man to a seat, he served him tea and water with great hospitality, making the old man feel embarrassed.

He even thought to himself: It's so rare to find young people with such character these days.

He even wanted the other person to call him grandpa.

"Grandpa, are you hungry? You must be out here all alone so late at night and haven't eaten anything yet, right? How about I get you something to eat?" Li Zhibai asked.

I finally managed to coax Golden Legend into the store, so it would be an injustice not to rip him off!

Huo Wang was about to refuse, but then he thought, since he was already here, and the young boss was such a good person and so enthusiastic, he might as well eat a little and support his business.

"Okay, then make me something with soup, anything is fine."

"Alright! Please wait a moment, sir, it'll be ready soon." Li Zhibai turned and went to the kitchen.

Huo Wang sat in his seat, drinking warm water while looking around at the environment of Shaxian County.

To be honest, it's quite rare to open a Shaxian snack shop in a place like Financial Street where land is incredibly valuable.

He knew how expensive the rent was in this area, after all, he himself had two shops for rent near Jiangdong South Road.

For a Shaxian restaurant to survive on this street, it either needs to have a very good business or something else that makes it different.

But after looking around, he couldn't find anything special about this Shaxian; it was pretty much the same as the Shaxian he had visited before.

He was stunned when he saw the wooden signs hanging on the wall.

? ? ? ? ?

Fragrant Mixed Noodles: NT$128/serving, Deluxe Version: NT$588/serving.

Chicken leg rice: 168 yuan/serving, deluxe version 688 yuan/serving.

........

The most expensive one, Bodhi Jade, costs a whopping 1288 yuan per serving.

When Huo Wang saw the price, his first thought was that he must be seeing things because he was old and blind.

Then he rubbed his eyes and looked at it again.

You really didn't see it wrong.

This Shaxian is indeed different from other Shaxians; it has a few dark spots.

Huo Wang turned to look at Li Zhibai, who was busy in the kitchen, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

This young man was so enthusiastic in helping me up, and he wouldn't let me leave no matter what... Could he have just been trying to scam me?
