Chapter 147 Two Poor Guys
However, after this incident, especially when they knew there were seeds inside the apple core, the people around stared at the big apple in Shen Tu's hand even more eagerly.
Those who have the financial resources and ideas immediately turned their eyes excitedly to Yun Qimu. The price is a bit expensive, but after buying the apples, they can not only taste the delicious and sweet fruits, but also get the seeds. How can they miss such a good thing?
Yun Qimu was not afraid that they would grow their own apples after buying them and steal their business. Even if their wood-type ability users managed to grow apples, at most they could only produce small and sour ones. Without the soil of the global village, how could apples grow so well?
Besides, how could that stingy mastermind allow these outsiders to take advantage of him?
Obviously impossible.
Yun Qimu thought with a delighted look on his face, and he raised his voice to greet people, "This is our first time doing business here. The number of apples is limited, so it's first come, first served. Come on, if you're interested in buying, line up over here."
Suddenly the crowd exploded, and everyone started scrambling for the first spot.
"I, I'm the first one. Don't pull my clothes. Even if you tear them, I won't give up my place. You'll be the one who gets embarrassed. I'm not ashamed at all."
A man who was also occupying the front row next to him was also unhappy and shouted, "Who said that? The girl clearly said this side, and I am the first one. You guys should go line up behind me."
The others in the front didn't agree either. They pushed and shoved each other, shouting, "I, I, I am the first one, my side is the first one."
As the competition intensified, Zhong Qiu and the others who were originally closest to Yun Qimu but were too short of money to afford it were squeezed out by this group of crazy shoppers.
Outside the crowd, Zhong Qiu met a frustrated young man.
Zhong Qiu sniffed, a little confused, "Hu Can, why are you here?"
Hu Can sighed and gave him a look of resentment. "My brother and his men went to rescue you this morning and left me behind. I followed the people from Honglian Village who reported the news and came here. Then I ran into an apple seller there. Unfortunately, that green-haired uncle looked stupid, but he was quite smart when it mattered. I wanted to get some seeds for nothing, but I failed."
"Ah, you were the one who shouted 'smudge' the loudest just now." Zhong Qiu suddenly realized, and then looked at his younger brother Can with a speechless look.
There were a lot of people there just now, so he was pushed to the back, and he was not as tall as others, so he could only hear the voices but not see the people.
Hu Can nodded in frustration. He didn't get the seeds back and was embarrassed in front of Brother Qiu. It was so hard for him!
Zhong Qiu patted his shoulder and sighed with sympathy. What he had just done was much more embarrassing than what Hu Can had done.
"Hey, brother, please make way, please make way. If you don't have money, don't block our queue."
A big, hot-tempered guy behind them pushed the small bodies of Zhong Qiu and Hu Can aside with a slap as big as a palm fan, and hurriedly lined up by himself.
When Zhong Qiu and Hu Can, two brothers in distress, stood firm and turned around to look, Yun Qimu and his companions had already moved to a spacious and clean position on the roadside, and the team in front of them had also consciously formed a twisted dragon shape.
It can be seen that there are quite a few people who have money to buy Apple.
Zhong Qiu and Hu Can, the two poor bastards, looked at each other and finally hung their heads in dejection.
As brothers who just eat and drink for free, they really don’t have many energy coins.
The former gave all his fortune to Yun Qimu to repay him for saving his life, and Shicheng didn't even leave a single energy coin for himself.
As for the latter, how much pocket money can a minor have? At most, it is only ten coins, which is not enough to buy even an apple core.
"How about we go to the front and take a look, just to open our eyes? No one will ask us to queue if we don't buy anything, right?" Zhong Qiu stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck and looked towards the front of the line, with an eager glint in his eyes. He was really curious about the goods that the goddess brought.
As a curious minor, Hu Can agreed immediately.
So the two of them excitedly turned around the crowd and went to the front.
But obviously they are not the only ones who are curious, other poor guys are also curious.
What does an apple that costs more than two bottles of top-grade nutrient solution look like?
What other fruits and vegetables did the beautiful lady mention?
Zhong Qiu and Hu Can were just drowned in the crowd as soon as they passed by.
The noise here spread quickly to the other side of the ring. The originally lively and exciting competition for the wife of the leader, which attracted countless onlookers, was now completely hijacked by Yun Qimu and his team.
There were fewer and fewer people watching the selection, and more and more people were watching on the other side.
Dou Xing, who was walking out from the back street, leading a group of his followers and the candidates for the chief consort onto the stage, looked at the arena with only a few scattered onlookers left, then glanced at the bustling scene on the other side not far away. He couldn't help but frown, and with dissatisfaction on his stubborn and sharp face, he asked, "What happened over there? Where's that guy Shen Tu? Didn't I tell him to take charge of this stage first? Where is he?"
"this"
Xu Le, who also had little money in his pocket, was squeezed out of the crowd because of a slight hesitation and could no longer squeeze in. He looked at the crowd who were trying to squeeze in with their butts sticking out, and then looked at Dou Xing standing on the stage.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and, at the signal of his colleague, hurried over. Facing Dou Xing's displeased gaze, he said, "Brother Tu, Brother Tu is over there. We just saw a very beautiful lady, and Brother Tu wants to invite her to participate."
"Oh..." Dou Xing sneered coldly, "Where's that person? Has he arrived?"
Then he raised his chin towards the crowd, "Could it be that that particularly beautiful lady has some kind of enchantment that can drive everyone crazy, attracting them all, even Shen Tu, who doesn't understand romance, is bewitched?"
"Yeah, that's about the same."
"Um?"
Xu Le shuddered, and seeing Dou Xing's narrowed eyes, he quickly shook his head and explained dryly, "No, no, Brother Xing, it's not that young lady who has magic, it's the apples that young lady brought that have magic. Besides apples, they also said there are other fruits and vegetables, so Brother Tu stayed there so that he could buy some back for the village chief to taste."
Dou Xing narrowed his eyes. "Are these really fresh, edible fruits and vegetables?"
"It should be true. I have only seen Apple. I didn't see the others and was squeezed out." Xu Le touched his nose, feeling a little regretful. It was all because he was not strong enough and couldn't squeeze through others.
Dou Xing was now in high spirits. He told his younger brother to take good care of the candidates for the wife he had brought with him, and then he headed towards the most chaotic part of the crowd. "Follow me, let's go take a look."
He reached out and grabbed Xu Le by the back of his collar like a chick, and took him down with him.
