Jiang Xing, walking ahead, revealed a mysterious smile after hearing Li Qingfeng's question.
He then directly addressed the Deep Sea Fish, "Look at this Deep Sea Fish, is she beautiful?"
"What thing?"
Upon hearing Li Qingfeng's question, Jiang Xing displayed a coy expression, leaving Li Qingfeng completely bewildered.
Looking at the beautiful Deep Sea Fish before him, he couldn't help but sigh and say, "Can this Deep Sea Fish be eaten?"
Jiang Xing...
Suddenly, the originally cheerful Jiang Xing lost his smile. Good heavens, he was left speechless.
Regarding Li Qingfeng's words, Jiang Xing could only shake his head.
"No, no, this one can't be eaten, it's an ornamental fish this time!"
"What, it's an ornamental fish? I already said I wanted to eat river carp. If there's no river carp, you can't give me an ornamental fish!"
"I... what river carp, ornamental fish? I'm just letting you take a look! I didn't ask you to eat it!"
Jiang Xing was thoroughly defeated and couldn't help but explain.
After hearing his explanation, Li Qingfeng nodded subconsciously, seemingly agreeing.
"Alright, even if this ornamental fish, this Deep Sea Fish, is here for me to look at, where are the river carp you're selling?"
Jiang Xing covered his head, utterly unwilling to engage with Li Qingfeng any further. He had completely given up on the guy.
He couldn't help but say to him, "Alright, alright, you've had enough. I admit defeat!"
"How about we change our communication method?"
"Oh, how do you plan to communicate?"
Hearing his words, Li Qingfeng asked curiously.
His current demeanor was like that of a simpleton from before, appearing adorably naive, yet a hint of shrewdness in his eyes betrayed him.
Jiang Xing, the owner of the fresh food market, was now utterly helpless. He had no idea what to do with this person.
After much thought, he finally settled on a plan: to get rid of him quickly and stop him from bothering him!
He directly pulled Li Qingfeng inside, towards the back where he sold his ordinary fish. Of course, the ornamental fish outside were also for sale.
"Wait, why are you pulling me?"
Looking at Jiang Xing, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but shout, "Why are you dragging me?"
"Aren't I taking you to see your river carp? You're so eager to eat river carp, so I can only take you there first."
"Wait, wait! Eat river carp of what? No rush for now. You haven't answered my question yet!"
"Ah, what question?"
Hearing Li Qingfeng's words, Jiang Xing turned his head, looking at the person before him with a confused expression.
Had he forgotten something? He didn't think so!
Jiang Xing only remembered that this guy had been clamoring to eat river carp, so he had to take him to the innermost stall. But what had he promised him earlier?
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Xing couldn't recall any promise he had made.
He could only look at Li Qingfeng with a very bewildered gaze.
At this point, all relationships were unimportant. His sole objective should be to get Li Qingfeng out of his territory as quickly as possible.
This guy was simply too annoying!
"What? You still haven't told me what this 120,000 alms-seeking means!"
Hearing Jiang Xing's confused voice, Li Qingfeng directly said.
How long had it been since they spoke? He had already forgotten, even though he had promised to tell him.
"Oh, that!"
Upon hearing Li Qingfeng's words, Jiang Xing breathed a sigh of relief. So this was what the guy had been asking about.
It wasn't his fault for not remembering; he had indeed been too busy lately and had forgotten about such matters.
"Sorry, I forgot. I'll tell you now!"
Seeing Jiang Xing's lack of apology, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Li Qingfeng thought to himself, "Good heavens, so young and already suffering from dementia. He forgets things so quickly. His days are numbered!"
Of course, he didn't say this out loud, only thought it.
But it had to be said, this guy was indeed like that.
If it were true, then Jiang Xing really wouldn't have many years left.
"Alright, alright, stop beating around the bush. Tell me what this alms-seeking is!"
Li Qingfeng urged Jiang Xing.
Hearing his question, Jiang Xing cleared his throat first.
"Ahem!"
Then he slowly began to speak, "Actually, it's very simple. How much alms you seek represents how deep your karmic connection is with this Deep Sea Fish. Especially here, we generally offer fish based on karmic connection!"
"So, you mean if I seek 120,000 alms, this Deep Sea Fish will be mine?"
Li Qingfeng said directly after listening to him.
"Yes, exactly!"
"That's what I mean. As expected of the intelligent Li Qingfeng, you truly impress me!"
The fish seller Jiang Xing praised Li Qingfeng shamelessly. Hearing his words, even the normally composed Li Qingfeng felt a bit overwhelmed.
This guy, he might not be good at much else, but his flattery skills were steadily improving.
"Okay, okay, stop being so glib. Tell me how to seek alms first?"
Nothing else was particularly important, but Li Qingfeng was genuinely curious about this alms-seeking.
"It's actually very simple! To seek 120,000 alms, you need to donate 120,000 yuan in cash as charitable donations on the Merit Tablet. That way, the alms-seeking is successful!"
"Of course, if your alms-seeking is successful, our store will gift you prayer beads and a merit plaque, and your name will be inscribed on the Merit Tablet for posterity!"
Jiang Xing spoke with great skill, making it sound incredibly appealing.
However, Li Qingfeng quickly discovered the loophole: this so-called alms-seeking was simply another way of extorting money.
Because if you sought alms on the Merit Tablet, you still had to pay 120,000 yuan, after which he would give you the Deep Sea Fish and a useless mention of your name.
Although the mention sounded like great merit, it seemed to have no practical use, just for show.
