"You ask about this, dear customer? They just have bad luck; all the fruits and vegetables can't be eaten anymore. No one knows why, but this winter, the local produce became very bitter, absolutely inedible!" The seafood shop owner, upon hearing Chen Yu's inquiry, didn't avoid anything and explained quite casually. Yet, in his tone, there were unavoidable traces of worry and sympathy: "At the beginning of winter, everyone saw the fruits and vegetables growing wildly and thought there would be a great harvest since they looked so large and full. But who could have guessed that these wildly grown fruits and vegetables would be completely unfit for consumption! Many farmers have lost their entire investment this winter, and it's uncertain whether the government will step in or not."
Chen Yu's gaze turned sharp upon the owner's reply, and he began to pay attention to the discarded agricultural produce.
