Chapter 200 The Deaf Old Woman's Puzzle
Yan Bugui was not stupid; he gleaned some underlying meaning from Li Qin's words.
When Li Qin was going through a tough time, none of his neighbors ever offered him any help.
Now that Li Qin has turned his life around, they can pretend that nothing happened.
But Li Qin remembered.
Therefore, it is impossible to gain any advantage from Li Qin.
Knowing all this, Yan Bugui didn't know how to respond for a moment.
At that moment, Li Qin spoke again:
"I need to go back and cook, so I won't chat with you any longer, Uncle."
After saying that, he immediately pushed his bicycle around Yan Bugui and left the Intermediate People's Court.
Yan Bugui watched Li Qin's departing figure, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.
It contained feelings of regret, dissatisfaction, jealousy, and envy...
In the end, it all turned into a deep sigh.
Who could have imagined that the boy who might not have survived in Beijing at any moment would undergo such a dramatic change in the blink of an eye?
Li Qin paid no attention to what Yan Bugui was thinking.
In his view, whether it was Yan Bugui or Yi Zhonghai, they were all just tools for him to obtain emotional power.
When Li Qin passed through the Intermediate People's Court, many residents also noticed that his bicycle was covered with items.
Although envy flashed in the eyes of these residents, none of them looked like Yan Bugui.
Moreover, almost all of these households have members working at the steel rolling mill, and they know that today is payday at the steel rolling mill.
Therefore, I wasn't surprised to see that so many things had been bought.
After all, Li Qin was different from them.
Li Qin is a one-person household with no family to worry about, while they all have families to support.
However, when Li Qin returned to the backyard, he saw the deaf old woman sitting on a recliner by the door.
The deaf old lady's hearing was extremely sensitive.
Hearing the noise, he immediately opened his eyes and looked over.
When he recognized Li Qin, although there was no obvious change in his expression, Li Qin could clearly see the strange look in his eyes.
However, because the distance was a little far, and the deaf old woman's eyes instantly calmed down.
Li Qin couldn't quite make out the exact look in the other person's eyes.
However, the system then issued a notification sound;
[Emotional Power +3000]
[Emotional Power +2000]
[Emotional Power +1000]
[Emotional Power +800]
[Emotional Power +500]
Li Qin could only guess in an instant that the other party definitely didn't have anything good to say about him, and might even be cursing him at that moment.
Li Qin didn't care about this.
This deaf old woman was somewhat mysterious, but also quite shrewd.
However, if Li Qin really wanted to take action against this deaf old woman, he could kill her silently without leaving any trace.
Therefore, Li Qin treated both the deaf old woman and Yi Zhonghai with a playful attitude.
To say that I have any apprehension or fear is absolutely impossible.
Li Qin nodded to the deaf old lady with a smile.
Regardless of the other party's reaction, Li Qin pushed his bicycle directly towards his home.
He first parked the bicycle, then unloaded everything from it and carried it into the kitchen.
When the deaf old woman saw Li Qin take the initiative to greet her, a strange look flashed in her eyes;
"It seems Zhonghai was right. This Li Qin is indeed quite shrewd. We should be more cautious in the future."
As the saying goes, a barking dog doesn't bite.
The deaf old woman was not afraid of those who couldn't hide their thoughts and wore their emotions on their sleeves.
Because these kinds of people are the easiest to deal with.
The most difficult to deal with are people like Li Qin, who always have a smile on his face and seem very kind to everyone.
Only the person with these thoughts knows what they are thinking; others cannot understand them.
At this moment, in the deaf old woman's mind, Li Qin was the kind of person who smiled to her face but stabbed her in the back.
Li Qin, who was tidying up ingredients in the kitchen, was surprised to hear another system notification, indicating that a large amount of emotional energy had entered his account. Li Qin's hands froze instantly.
"I haven't even officially started releasing the poison yet, so why are these people already so cooperative in providing emotional power?"
A moment later, Li Qin put the matter aside for the time being.
In other places, this situation might seem unusual, but in this courtyard house full of oddities...
This situation is perfectly normal.
Li Qin is gradually getting used to the fact that the people here occasionally provide him with emotional support.
With the help of the magic spell, Li Qin quickly prepared all the ingredients.
Because there were no ready-made hot pot bases available at that time, they had to make their own.
Fortunately, Li Qin had seen relevant information before his transmigration, and his space contained all the raw materials for making hot pot.
Life's magic can complete the most crucial hot pot broth.
Moreover, in order to make it easier for him to come up with hot pot again in the future, Li Qin directly prepared a large amount of hot pot base this time.
After that, all he needs to do is boil water, add the hot pot base, and then cook the vegetables to enjoy hot pot.
But it's much more convenient.
As Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, and other ingredients were added to the pot and stir-fried, the aroma of the hot pot broth immediately began to spread from the kitchen throughout the entire courtyard.
Anyone who has ever eaten hot pot knows that Sichuan hot pot has an extremely strong aroma.
In addition, Li Qin secretly used a spell to control the fragrance within the courtyard.
As time goes by, the fragrance becomes more and more intense.
This was quite a shock to the residents of the courtyard house.
Li Qin listened to the constant notifications from the system while watching the automatically prepared hot pot broth, his face full of smiles.
But this is just the beginning.
When he actually starts cooking the vegetables and meat, the aroma will become even more enticing.
"This smells like Sichuan hot pot?"
The deaf old woman sitting at her own door was the first to smell the aroma of the hot pot broth.
The deaf old woman's expression turned serious, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.
He then subconsciously looked in the direction of Li Qin's kitchen.
Just by smelling it, you can tell that Li Qin is making hot pot broth. This shows that the deaf old lady has definitely eaten hot pot before.
At that moment, a look of longing and yearning flashed in the deaf old woman's eyes.
However, a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.
After that previous visit, he had realized that Li Qin next door was not someone who could be easily fooled.
Trying to force your way into a meal like you would with other residents of the courtyard house is unlikely to succeed.
"Why is this kid so rebellious?"
A question suddenly arose in the deaf old woman's mind.
Logically speaking, that previous contact should have been her first encounter with Li Qin.
But Li Qin was so wary, even suspicious.
This is clearly unreasonable.
The deaf old woman was very confident in her disguise.
Given her age, the kind smile on her face, and the fact that her status as a family member of a martyr was secretly known, she was a good match for the family.
The deaf old lady easily managed to manage so many residents in the courtyard house.
But now he has failed with Li Qin.
The deaf old woman couldn't understand the reason at all.
She naturally had no idea that Li Qin was a time traveler who knew her true identity from the very beginning.
Of course, it's impossible for him to deceive me.
