After Deputy Liu learned about the situation, he didn't stay at Dao Zun Hall for long. He mentioned that he was busy with work, exchanged a few words with Chen Yuanshan and Feng Shichao, and then hurriedly left.

"This Deputy Liu looks like a reliable person," Chen Yuanshan mumbled to his junior, watching Deputy Liu's departing figure.

"I know Deputy Liu fairly well. He is upright, principled, and has his own bottom line.

His own younger brother got drunk, injured someone, and ended up in detention. His parents asked him to help get his younger brother out, but he refused. Because of this, he and his own younger brother became like strangers and haven't been in contact since," Feng Shichao explained, letting out a heavy sigh.

"One should indeed stick to their principles. Doing things that violate the law for personal gain is unacceptable, and there will be consequences," Chen Yuanshan nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Senior Brother, I have something to ask of you."

"Just say it. No need for formalities."

"I need to go to Jiangxi for a while, probably for ten days or half a month. Leaving Yanzhi alone at home, I'm a bit worried. I want her to stay with you for some time. What do you think?"

"Of course, that's fine. If Yanzhi comes, she can stay in the small bedroom on the second floor."

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Chen Yuanshan nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

"Between us, let's skip the formalities. When do you plan to leave?"

"I'll leave tomorrow morning. I'll go to the capital first, then transfer to Jiangxi."

"In that case, don't leave tonight. Have dinner here tonight as my treat. Give Yanzhi a call, let her pack, and come over now."

Upon hearing Chen Yuanshan's suggestion, Feng Shichao replied with a simple "okay" and called Xu Yan to inform her.

"You stay here, Junior Brother. Xiao He and I will go to the market to buy groceries. Do you have any preferences for food?"

"Senior Brother, you know me. I'm not picky about food and drinks. Whatever you buy, I'll eat."

"Alright, I'll see what I can find!" After Chen Yuanshan agreed with Feng Shichao, he first took the white porcelain bottle on the coffee table upstairs.

Exiting Dao Zun Hall, Chen Yuanshan drove me toward the direction of the city.

North of the Bridgehead area near the city, there was a farmers' market for seafood and produce. In my opinion, this market was quite remote, but many people came here to buy groceries.

People either rode electric bikes or drove cars to get here.

"Master Chen, this place seems quite remote. Why do so many people come here to buy groceries?"

I asked Chen Yuanshan as we entered the farmers' market.

"This market is mainly for wholesale. Most people come to wholesale seafood and vegetables and then sell them in the city to make a profit.

Some people come here looking for bargains and buy directly from the market to save money," Chen Yuanshan explained.

Chen Yuanshan was bold when buying things, not bothering to ask about prices. He didn't negotiate; he simply asked the seller to weigh the items, and he paid whatever they asked.

"Master Chen, you can't buy groceries like this. You can't just pay whatever they ask. You need to learn to haggle."

"I really don't know how to haggle. If you can do it, you handle the negotiations, and I'll pay."

"Alright."

I agreed to help Chen Yuanshan haggle. We strolled through the market, negotiating prices and selecting fresh produce.
