Chapter 378: Minle Preserved Fruit

Hearing Lin Feng say this, the expression on Yang Jinlong's face finally looked much better.

Suddenly, Lin Feng frowned.

Yang Jinlong immediately asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Nothing, nothing." Lin Feng shook his head.

The reason Lin Feng's expression changed slightly was because that brat Yang Lili was acting up.

Even though her parents were sitting right there at the table, so close by, this brat was actually secretly touching Lin Feng under the table; Lin Feng didn't even know what to use to describe her.

This meal took over two hours to finally finish, and once full of food and wine, Lin Feng stood up to take his leave.

"Lin Feng, why don't you just stay the night?" Huang Jingyi said with a smile.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "That won't do, I still have things to attend to."

Yang Jinlong laughed and said, "Wife, don't force him. Mr. Lin is different from us; he is the Dragon Soul War King and has many important matters to handle every day."

Huang Jingyi had no choice but to give up.

Suddenly remembering something, Huang Jingyi said, "Lin Feng, wait a moment."

Before long, Huang Jingyi brought down many gifts and snacks from upstairs and stuffed them all into Lin Feng's hands.

Lin Feng said in surprise, "Auntie Huang, what are you doing?"

"What else could I be doing? Take them back to eat," Huang Jingyi laughed.

Lin Feng said with a wry smile, "How can I accept this? I didn't bring anything when I came, but I'm taking so much from your house when I leave. If others find out, where would I put my face?"

"Don't talk about face or no face. People are always sending gifts to my house, and all kinds of gifts and snacks are almost piled into a small mountain. Besides, these things have expiration dates; if they aren't eaten quickly, they'll go bad, and that would be a real waste," Huang Jingyi said.

Yang Jinlong also said, "That's right, Lin Feng, just take them home and enjoy them slowly."

Lin Feng had no choice but to nod and accept them with a smile.

Huang Jingyi reminded him, "You need to finish this box of Minle Preserved Fruit quickly. This thing has a very short shelf life, only a few days. The others aren't as urgent, you can eat those slowly."

"Alright, alright, alright, thank you very much," Lin Feng nodded with a smile.

After leaving Yang Lili's house, Lin Feng took a car to Lin Jingying's luxury villa.

Just as he stepped into the living room, Lin Feng saw Lin Jingying hugging Tong Xiaoxue while sitting on the sofa watching TV, and both the big and small woman had white facial masks on, looking just like female ghosts.

"You two gave me a fright," Lin Feng said irritably.

"You're the one who really gave us a fright. You walk without making a sound," Lin Jingying said irritably.

When that kid Tong Xiaoxue saw Lin Feng carrying so many gifts and snacks, she was instantly overjoyed, jumped off the sofa, and pounced toward Lin Feng.

Lin Jingying then asked curiously, "Why did you buy so many gifts? It looks like you're visiting relatives to give presents."

"I went to eat at City Head Yang's house. His family has too many gifts of this type, and they'll go bad if not eaten, so he gave me some," Lin Feng explained.

"So that's it," Lin Jingying suddenly realized.

Tong Xiaoxue was seen holding all the gifts from Lin Feng's hands in her arms, shouting excitedly without stopping.

Watching Tong Xiaoxue's happy appearance, Lin Feng and Lin Jingying both couldn't help but laugh.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, Tong Xiaoxue suddenly threw one of the gift boxes onto the sofa with great disdain and said, "Uncle, why did you bring this thing? This thing isn't tasty at all, it's disgusting."

Lin Feng took a look and discovered that the box of snacks was exactly the Minle Preserved Fruit that Huang Jingyi had specifically warned him about. Before he could say anything, Lin Jingying suddenly realized something, walked over in large strides, picked up this box of Minle Preserved Fruit, and asked, "Xiaoxue, have you eaten this before? Minle Preserved Fruit is high-end goods, it's very expensive."

"I have eaten it, I've eaten a lot of it. Although it's very sweet, it's sticky and gets stuck in my teeth, and it's easy to get sick of it, so I don't like eating it at all."

Tong Xiaoxue pouted and added, "My mom often buys this for me and says it's cheap and affordable, but I really don't like eating it."

"Cheap and affordable? Minle Preserved Fruit is definitely a luxury item..."

When Lin Jingying said this, a bold thought suddenly occurred to her, and she said rapidly, "Junior brother, I know where Xiaoxue is from; she is from Minle City!"

"Why?" Lin Feng asked.

"Because of this!"

Lin Jingying pointed at the Minle Preserved Fruit in her hand.

Seeing Lin Feng show a look of confusion, Lin Jingying explained again: "Junior brother, you aren't very interested in food, so you don't know much about it. Minle Preserved Fruit is a local snack from Minle City. The variety of persimmons there is very special, with an exceptionally high sugar content and a very unique flavor, so it is very popular after being made into this preserved fruit."

"But Minle Preserved Fruit has a very serious problem, which is that it is inconvenient to store. Even in a low-temperature vacuum environment, it will spoil in just two or three days."

"Therefore, in Minle City, Minle Preserved Fruit is very cheap, cheap to the point of being very inexpensive. But once it leaves Minle City, the price of this thing becomes outrageous; ordinary people can't afford it at all, and it's almost become a luxury item."

Lin Feng instantly understood what Lin Jingying meant.

In other places, Minle Preserved Fruit is a luxury item with an outrageously high price. Given Tong Xiaoxue and her mother's living conditions, it would be impossible for them to buy this stuff to eat often.

But Tong Xiaoxue said she ate it often and was sick of it, which means Tong Xiaoxue is a local of Minle City. Only in Minle City can one buy Minle Preserved Fruit at a low price!

Lin Jingying's face was full of smiles, and Lin Feng also revealed a joyful smile.

The next second, Lin Feng took out his phone and said, "I'll call Wang Tianle now and have him narrow down the comparison range."

"Mm," Lin Jingying nodded.

The call was connected quickly, and Lin Feng said, "Director Wang, have the results of Xiaoxue's gene comparison come out?"

"Not yet. With such a large population in the country, the genetic data in the gene bank is extremely vast. This isn't something that can be done in a day or two..."

Before Wang Tianle could finish his sentence, Lin Feng interrupted, "We know where Xiaoxue is from. If nothing goes wrong, she should be from Minle City. Narrow down your comparison range and only compare the population genetic data within Minle City."

"Really? That's great! It's much easier to compare when the range is narrowed down to one city. If so, there will be results in two days at the fastest, or three or four days at the slowest!" Wang Tianle said excitedly.

"Thank you for your hard work," Lin Feng said.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, no trouble at all," Wang Tianle laughed.

After putting away his phone, Lin Feng picked up Tong Xiaoxue, patted her head, and said, "Little girl, we will soon know who your parents are."

"Really? That's great!" Tong Xiaoxue said with a laugh.
