C3206 Barnacle of Hell (1/2)

Xiang Ying quietly put down the fork in his hand, and the other Chinese officials all put down the barnacles on their dining plates. They had seen many expensive ingredients before, but this kind of thing that could be exchanged with one's life, was truly hard to swallow!

”Is this not to your taste?” Yi Suobeila looked at Xiang Ying in confusion. They thought that these Chinese people did not believe what they had just said.

”Su Shan, tell our guests the price of these rattan pots …”

Su Shan laughed and said, ”Fresh barnacles can be sold in the Madrid market for a hundred pounds a kilogram, and the barnacles chosen by the royal family are all fixed standards in the fixed seas …”

”Not even one kilogram of barnacles is priced around 250 pounds. This is a delicacy well-known in Europe!”

Xiang Ying smiled bitterly and shook his head. ”It's not that I don't believe that these ingredients are precious, but with your esteemed status Queen, it's impossible for you to use crude ingredients …”

”I'm just a little uncomfortable. Ten pounds for one life? ”Too …”

Since ancient times, China had been influenced by the Confucius and Taoist families for thousands of years. The gene of benevolence had already been branded into the bone marrow.

The Queen, however, did not understand this point. ”This is their job as fishermen. Since they covet the high purchasing price of the barnacles, they naturally have to take the risk of digging. Is there anyone forcing them?”

Hehe … Xiang Ying sneered: ”High purchase price? I'm afraid that the final price that fishermen who pay with their lives get is not even 10% of the retail price, so where are all the profits? ”

”No one forced them? If a person could survive, who would risk their life to do this kind of work … The poor have no choice, the cruel society will force them to a dead end! ”

”In the end, it's still a question of the ruler!”

With a clatter, the fork landed on the plate, and the Queen's face, which had just eased up a little, immediately fell again. ”Do you mean that I should be the one to take all the responsibility?”

”This is really strange. An accident happened when a fisherman dug a rattan pot. Could this crime be blamed on me?” They are poor because they were born with sin! ”

”God has punished them for coming to the mortal world to suffer!”

When Su Shan heard that they were going to start a fight again, she quickly tried to smooth things over. What's next... Fresh shrimp soup? ”Immediately change the rattan pot …”

”Mr. Xiang, let's not talk about those unhappy topics for now. Let's toast to …” Su Shan thought about it for a long time but still couldn't think of any toast.

Wei Keduoyuguo, who was accompanied as the guest, was obviously very satisfied with Xiang Ying's compassion for the heavens. He stood out and said, ”Then let's do it for the beautiful scenery of Biarritz! Cheers! ”

The atmosphere became much better with the big shot on the side to smooth things over for the second half of the banquet. When the banquet was about to end, the tipsy Queen finally started to talk about proper business.

”Dear item! Tell me your conditions... What is the Führer's message? ”

Once Wei Keduoyuguo heard that the topic was settled into political affairs, he apologized for his leg pain and went to soak in the hot spring. Then, he left the banquet with a good eye.

Under Su Shan's forceful gaze, a few low-ranked officials and attendants all left the banquet hall, leaving only a dozen core members behind.
