Old Li was a gaunt old man over fifty years of age.
His scalp was shiny and glowing with only a few sparse hairs clinging on.
The tip of his nose was slightly red, and his eyes were perpetually blurry from years of straining.
Anyone who saw Old Li would think he'd nearly been submerged head first in a barrel of liquor.
While usually befuddled, at this moment Old Li was anything but; his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was flushed with excitement.
"Old Niu, believe me, this stuff is the absolute nemesis of those damned green caterpillars!"
"Have you gone mad with greed, thinking you can deceive me into spending money with just some chili powder?" Old Niu was a bald, potbellied man.
His eyes were wide open, glaring at Old Li with displeasure.
"Don't think for a second I don't know."
"If this thing really worked, your fifteen acres wouldn't have been ravaged empty!"
Far from irritated, Old Li chuckled mysteriously: "They ate it all right!"
