Chapter 23 Kneeling and begging for mercy (1/2)



The next morning, Aunt Qi and her friends, with hazel eyes, finally waited for the owner of the restaurant to open the door.

Auntie Xi immediately got up and said, "Boss, we sell snails..."

The shopkeeper looked at them and said, "We are very busy this morning and don't have time."

Auntie Xi immediately said, "It's okay, we can wait."

They were hungry and kept waiting. Eighth Aunt was old and almost fainted.

Aunt Xi quickly asked the shopkeeper for a bowl of water and fed her water, and she finally woke up.

"I'm hungry..."

As soon as Eighth Aunt opened her eyes, she uttered these two words tremblingly.

At this moment, the restaurant was busy preparing lunch, and the aroma wafted into their noses.

Everyone's stomach started to growl.

Auntie Xi said, "After we sell the snails, we can go in and have a meal."

"We have several hundred kilograms of this stuff, and at three cents a kilogram, we can sell it for several hundred cents. It's enough for so many of us to eat, and we should be able to take some home."

"Moreover, this is a long-term business. Even if you sell all the money you earn today, you can still make money tomorrow."

"When will the shopkeeper be done with his work? I am so hungry that my stomach hurts."

They have been hungry since yesterday noon, and it has been almost a day and a night.

By the time the shopkeeper finished his work, it was already afternoon. When Aunt Xi and the others saw the shopkeeper coming, they quickly started selling their products.

However, when the shopkeeper got closer to the basket and took a look, he immediately vomited.

"What are you selling? It stinks! Do you want to make my customers sick?"

After he said this, Aunt Xi and the others hurried over to smell it, and everyone's face turned pale.

It was such a hot day, and they didn’t put the snails in water, so wouldn’t they go bad immediately?

"Get out of here right now! Don't put something this smelly at my door. If you scare away the customers in my store, I'll beat you to death!"

Ever since Qingyunlou launched the spicy snails, his business has been severely affected.

I originally thought of trying to make some snails myself and let them wait by the side, but who would have thought that they were all stinky!

Aunt Xi and the others were dumbfounded. They were unwilling to accept it, but the thing was indeed stinky.

They could only carry all the snails to other restaurants and try their luck.

In the end they were all driven away.

Finally, they had no choice but to dump the snails on the roadside.

Everyone felt extremely depressed when looking at the pile of snails surrounded by flies.

Especially Huang Dabing and his friends, who used to follow Old Lady Huang and could easily earn dozens of cents, which was more than what they earned as odd jobs for others.

Available now...

Not only had he been starving since yesterday, but he also had to feed mosquitoes all night and didn't make a penny.

I'm exhausted.

Thinking of this, he finally couldn't help but covered his face and burst into tears.

The others were infected by his words and became extremely depressed, and burst into tears.

When they had cried enough and were about to leave, they happened to see Grandma Huang and her team delivering goods again!

Huang Xiaohu was driving the ox cart, followed by Old Lady Huang and several men.

Everyone was talking and laughing as they walked, which formed a sharp contrast with their gloomy expressions.
