Chapter 34: French Fries Are Poisonous

Hearing that the price was cheap, a bunch of people soon gathered around.

These people didn't have much change in their hands, they just wanted to buy some to try and see what the fries tasted like.

After eating it, some people couldn't help but frown and said, "Why does this thing work like this?"

"Hey, brother, you don't understand. This is what it tastes like when it's fried. Children especially love it. The more they eat it, the better it tastes!"

Apart from anything else, Zhang Erhu had a pretty good mouth. In a short while, he had coaxed quite a few people to come and buy French fries. If they bought too much, he would give some away as a gift.

He felt so happy as he watched the amount of money in his pocket gradually increase.

No wonder Jiang Xueying made so much money, this thing is easy to sell. He regretted not making more so that he could make more money.

Humph, it seems that he will have to find a way to steal some more potatoes.

On the one hand, you can make money, and on the other hand, you can make Jiang Xueying suffer a loss. This deal is too cost-effective.

At this moment, Zhang Erhu had sold all the French fries and was in great joy. He touched his bulging wallet, hummed a little tune, and walked back with a swagger.

Just as he was thinking about when to steal potatoes again, he suddenly heard people talking about something wrong with the French fries.

He didn't care. He didn't poison the fries, so what could go wrong? He must have eaten something else to make him feel unwell.

People who eat French fries generally feel unwell and vomit.

When the news reached Zhang Erhu's ears, he frowned, but still didn't care much.

The people who followed him couldn't help but say, "Brother Tiger, there shouldn't be anything wrong with the fries, right?"

"Nonsense, what's the problem? I ate two bites. I'm fine. Stop talking nonsense. These people just want to make trouble all day long!"

Zhang Erhu patted his head and said this, feeling a little disappointed with him.

"When the time comes, you keep an eye on her. I have to go steal some potatoes. This stuff is really profitable. Let's steal all the potatoes from that ugly woman so that she has nothing to sell. When I, your brother, make some more money, I'll take you to a nice place to have fun."

As they spoke, they both laughed sinisterly.

Little did they know that the conditions of those who ate the fries were getting worse, and some even fell into a coma.

After asking carefully, the family members found out that he had eaten the so-called French fries and couldn't help but yell and curse.

"What kind of rare stuff is this? Why did you eat it? Now it's getting me sick. What should I do?"

Zhang Erhu also found it strange to learn that more and more people were feeling unwell.

He didn't lie, he did eat it, so why is he fine?

Could it be that someone wants to take this opportunity to extort money?

Humph, thinking of extorting money from him is just a daydream!

Zhang Erhu still didn't care. If anyone dared to extort money from him, he would make sure he came in standing and left lying down.

Unexpectedly, not long after, someone came to the door in anger.

"Boss, your fries almost killed someone. We called a doctor and found out it was poisoning! No matter what, you have to give us an explanation today!"

"Yes, you have to give an explanation!"

There were quite a few people coming, they were all family members of the people who had bought French fries before.

Although Zhang Erhu is a bully in the village, he is no match for so many people. After learning that someone was poisoned, he realized the seriousness of the problem. It seems that he is not extorting money, but someone really got poisoned after eating the French fries he sold?

How could it be? He clearly followed Jiang Xueying's method, how could it be poisonous?

Could it be that Jiang Xueying knew that she stole the potatoes and poisoned her on purpose?

But this is impossible. After all, stealing potatoes was an idea he came up with on the spur of the moment. How could Jiang Xueying know about it?

Zhang Erhu rolled his eyes twice and suddenly came up with an idea. He pretended to be calm and coughed hard, saying, "Everyone, calm down first. I am just selling these fries for others. I am just a salesman. I don't know whether these are poisonous or not."

"Bah, you know how to shirk responsibility now. Why didn't you shirk responsibility when I was selling it just now? Then why don't you tell me who you were selling it for?!"

Everyone was very angry. Who could have thought that spending money to buy a snack would lead to poisoning? Now their family members were lying there with their lives hanging in the balance. How could they let this go?

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhang Erhu directly put the blame on Jiang Xueying who was completely unaware.

"The French fries are made by Jiang Xueying. If you ask around, you'll find out that she has always been selling these French fries!"

Seeing their expressions change, he quickly said, "Think about it carefully, everyone. This thing didn't exist before. If Jiang Xueying didn't make it, how could I sell French fries? I don't know how to make that thing."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but think about it carefully. It was indeed true. After all, many people knew that Jiang Xueying made a fortune selling French fries.

"Then you should go find Jiang Xueying right away. She runs a store. I'm just an errand boy. The things are not made by me. I can't take such a big responsibility!"

After Zhang Erhu finished speaking, he closed the door and slipped away through the back door.

He didn't dare admit it. If he admitted it, and someone died, he would have to face lawsuits and maybe even lose his head. He didn't want to do anything that would lose him money. Anyway, he had already made the money, and he didn't want to get involved in other matters.

The family members stood at the door for a while, thinking carefully, and felt that there were many loopholes in what Zhang Erhu said, but looking at the closed door, the only option now was to go find Jiang Xueying.

Jiang Xueying was tidying up the shop at the moment. She had just finished wiping the pottery jar when she heard a burst of noise.

"Jiang Xueying, my family members got poisoned after eating the French fries you made. You don't need to open this shop anymore!"

"That's right. This is food. If someone dies, can you bear the consequences?"

The crowd was outraged and tried to tear down the sign.

“Wait!”

Jiang Xueying heard the noise and came out to see that there were many people standing at the door making trouble. The people in the store couldn't stop them. In order to prevent the situation from escalating, she immediately stepped forward to stop it.

"Everyone, even if you want to use my sign, you have to explain the situation clearly. I am still confused. What happened? What kind of poisoning?"

She still doesn't quite understand why.

Seeing that she did not look like she was lying, one of the old men stepped forward first.

"My son saw some French fries were selling cheap today, so he bought some to try for the sake of novelty. But soon after he ate them, his face turned pale, he broke out in a cold sweat, and he vomited from time to time."

The old man was frightened and rushed to call a doctor.

"The doctor said my son was poisoned by something he ate. Isn't it because of the French fries? You must give us an explanation today, otherwise we won't accept it!"

Others echoed this, and the crowd became infuriated again.

Putting all the facts together, Jiang Xueying finally understood. It seemed that someone was selling French fries under her name.
