"It's not something I don't dislike. It's like picking up money..."
Everyone who got the meat was very happy and took all these things home.
Everyone felt that it was inappropriate to take Xia Mingyue's things for nothing, but Xia Mingyue made it clear in advance that no money was allowed. After a discussion, everyone took some things from home.
The sun-dried sweet red dates, the carefully selected and shelled peanuts at home, the sweet noodle paste dried by myself, the handmade purses...
Everything is available. It's within our means, but it's also something that the family can reasonably afford.
The things are ordinary, but they are also full of their own friendship.
Xia Mingyue did not refuse and accepted them all.
At this time, someone came back to report that people from the Yamen were heading to Yueran Restaurant to arrest Zhao Guangfu, the mastermind behind the scenes.
Xia Mingyue and the franchisees immediately rushed to Yueran Restaurant after hearing this.
Originally, the people around were very curious about the Yamen coming to Yueran Restaurant again, and gathered around to watch the excitement. When they saw Xia Mingyue and others coming, they became even more curious.
"Did Yueran Restaurant do something unfavorable to Xia Ji again?"
"Xia Ji has so many stall owners, including Lady Xia, who are all very angry. "It seems like Xia Ji didn't show up today. Something big must have happened."
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?" Lu said through gritted teeth, "Zhao Guangfu from Yueran Restaurant gave Wang twenty taels of silver and asked Wang to put something into Xia Ji's water tank, causing all Xia Ji's food to go bad. I can’t do business today!”
Lu's voice was originally high, but now her voice was loud enough that most of the people watching at the entrance of Yueran Restaurant could hear her clearly.
When everyone heard this, they all took a breath.
Put something into the water tank?
Good guy, was it poison?
It’s so scary!
"What Wang poured into the water tank was not poison, but Coptis chinensis water. Even if you eat it by mistake, it will not cause any serious harm, it will just make your mouth taste bitter."
Xia Mingyue said loudly, "It's just that this pleasure However, the restaurant did such a despicable thing as pouring something into Xia Ji's water tank. Fortunately, his conscience found out that he was using coptis water. If he gets angry next time, he will poison him and make Xia Ji suffer a disaster. What should happen then?”
“We thought about it and felt very scared, so we made a special trip to Yueran Restaurant to ask everyone at Yueran Restaurant why they regard us, Xia Ji, as a thorn in their side. How dare you be so bold and put the lives of the people in the county at risk!"
Xia Mingyue's voice was not as loud as Lu's, but her voice was calm, her words were clear, and her tone was neither fast nor slow, but full of emotion. Her sense of majesty made everyone listen to her involuntarily.
After everyone heard this clearly and thought about it for a moment, they were all very angry.
Yes, Ren Xia Ji provoked you, so you are trying to regulate others like this?
Is coptis water a poison? It is a medicine. It is a three-part poison. If it is eaten by a child or an elderly person with a weak constitution, it will have some effects.
Furthermore, these medicines are said to conflict with each other. If someone drinks the decoction and then eats food with coptis water, and something happens, who is responsible?
Ms. Xia is right.
The coptis water used this time, it is not impossible to use poison next time when he is angry. The purpose is to poison people to death, so that Xia Ji will be completely unable to live in Jinqiu County.
However, your goal of Yueran Restaurant has been achieved, so what about the person who was poisoned to death? Isn’t it too unfair?
It’s too much to go about their own business without having to engage in endless fights over ideas, dragging innocent people along, and doing whatever it takes!
Many of the people present were people who had bought food from Xia Kee food stalls or Oden food carts. The more they thought about it, the more scared they became. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that they might become the unjust ghosts of Yue Ran Restaurant who bullied others. , so angry that his whole body was shaking.
“This Yueran Restaurant is too much!” “You are simply not a human being. You just bully others and take human life as a trifling matter!”
"A person with such a vicious mind is not worthy of opening a restaurant. Who knows if the food sold may contain some inappropriate things!"
"That is, whoever goes to Yueran Restaurant to eat in the future, who knows? It’s a dog!”
"..."
Everyone was cursing, but Xia Mingyue said loudly, "Please give Yueran Restaurant an explanation for Xia Ji!"
"Yes, I have to give Xia Ji an explanation!" An explanation! ”
"Compensate for the money lost by Xia Ji!"
"How come the shopkeeper of Yueran Restaurant is so cowardly that he dare not come out!"
"Come out quickly!"
People were besieging the restaurant outside. The crowd was very excited, as if they were ready to rush into the restaurant at any time and smash them up. The waiters were so frightened that they hid behind the door, not even daring to show their heads.
At this time, the government officials were looking for Zhao Guangfu in the restaurant, searching for evidence everywhere, and making a mess.
Zou Fuquan looked at this on the second floor and was so angry that he almost smashed another tea set.
But just as I grabbed the tea cup, I remembered that it was a new purchase, and the business of Yueran Restaurant has not been as good as usual recently. I must not waste it like this anymore, so I had to hold back my anger and put the tea set back on the coffee table. .
But there was no way to vent the anger in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, Zou Fuquan slapped the coffee table with his palm, which made the tea set on it jump.
How did it look like this?
Recently, he has never instigated anyone to target Xia Ji, and he has not even dared to say anything bad. He is afraid that someone will take advantage of the situation to smear him, affecting the reputation of Yueran Restaurant, and then affecting the reputation of Yueran Restaurant. Business.
Moreover, although Zhao Guangfu is a waiter at Yueran Restaurant, he is just a rough guy. He doesn't have much money per month, but he can actually give out twenty taels of silver to instruct others to do things?
It can only be explained that Zhao Guangfu was deliberately instigated by others to frame him, Zou Fuquan, and Yueran Restaurant.
There may be three people doing this.
He is now at odds with Shopkeeper Ge of the Sifang Gambling House, Manager Xue, who is kind on the surface but actually dislikes him, and Xia Mingyue, who hates him very much for the possibility of shouting "Catch the Thief" at this time.
The Yamen now came to arrest Zhao Guangfu. Zhao Guangfu insisted that he was responsible for this incident. The reason was that he had failed to join Xia Ji before, so he hated it very much and wanted to destroy all Xia Ji's business. .
It would be difficult to find out who was behind the scenes by cutting off the relationship with everyone like this...
Just when Zou Fuquan was at his wits end, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.
The force of the force was so great that the door bounced back after hitting the wall, making a loud "bang" sound.
Zou Fuquan, who was already bored, became even more impatient when someone interrupted him, "Everyone who has no rules, get out!"
"Shopkeeper Zou has a bad temper." Han Qing Head said coldly.
When Zou Fuquan saw that the person who came was just a catcher, he did not get up, his face full of arrogance, "I have this temper myself." (End of Chapter)
