"Uncle, would you like a plate?"
Bai Yifan immediately knew the old man's mouth was watering.
If it were someone else, Bai Yifan might not be so generous as to offer dumplings, but this old man was different.
His intuition told him this was a hidden senior!
"I want to buy them, not take them for free! I don't eat or drink without giving anything in return. I'll exchange something with you instead! In times like these, good food is hard to come by, and I wouldn't want you to lose out!"
Uncle Li grinned, showing his teeth, and finally fished out a round pearl from his ragged clothes.
The pearl looked large and smooth, but it didn't emit a faint glow; it was an ordinary pearl.
"I'll give this to you, can it get me two plates of dumplings?"
As he spoke, Uncle Li swallowed quietly, his face showing a hint of guilt.
Pearls and gold used to be precious, but now they're not much; crystal cores are the most valuable nowadays.
"Sure!"
