Hua Luo and company gave a few unresigned shouts when they realized the situation. However, Fangzheng's calm voice sounded from inside, "Patrons, please return. If you wish to have some, remember to come early next year."
Everyone resigned themselves to the situation and could only plead with Wang Yougui.
Hua Luo said, "Village Chief, we have known each other for so many years. We have also frequently helped your village. In your opinion, shouldn't…"
Wang Yougui said with a bitter smile, "You don't know Fangzheng's temper. He abides by his words. If he said there are none, it definitely means there are none. But… on account of our good relationship, I'll return and discuss with the others and see if we can share some with you."
Hua Luo had lost all hope at obtaining the dumplings. With Wang Yougui saying that, he immediately beamed and was of course agreeable to the offer.
