There is a lamp above the head, and the cold white light flows from top to bottom, casting a shadow on the face of the man in black, making the already fat face even more fierce.
Chu Ye silently took a step back and distanced herself. She tried to calm the man's emotions, "Don't worry, calm down. If you really bought it from me, I can apologize to you and pay you, but I will never do it." Deadbeat.”
"Hey, that little girl has a pretty good attitude." Someone in the crowd started to speak up. After all, one was a fair-looking and thin girl, and the other was a big, muscular man with round waist and tattoos. Everyone's heart would be vaguely biased towards the weak one.
The man in black curled his lips and looked at her coldly, and people around him began to speak for Chu Ye.
"That's right, it's not easy for a little girl to be alone. You have to be merciful and merciful."
"I bought here once during the National Day, and the fish was freshly killed. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it."
"Yes, boss, if you give him another fish as compensation, this matter will be over."
"But it's really sad to encounter this kind of thing, tsk tsk."
……
People have different opinions. Anyway, they are all expressing their own judgment based on the information they have seen so far. This matter is big or small. Chu Ye listened, looked down at the fish on the chopping board, and said nothing for a while.
As for the man in black, seeing that Chu Ye didn't dare to speak and looked like he was admitting his mistake, he felt more and more proud, but there was still a look of dissatisfaction on his face. Then he sneered coldly, turned his head and waved his hand behind him, and the people around him subconsciously Shut up.
"This guy's signature thing is to kill live fish. I bought them because they were fresh. How could I have imagined that she would pass them off as shoddy goods and sell me such inferior things." The man turned around and quickly poked Chu with his finger. Ye pointed his nose and said in a serious tone, "If you don't give me an explanation today, believe it or not, I will smash you!"
The people around him were shocked by his momentum and all moved back. Chu Ye frowned and turned his head to avoid his fingers.
More and more people were attracted by the movement here, and the crowd gathered more and more, and began to talk quietly. At this moment, Uncle Wang beside him couldn't sit still. After just resting, he had calmed down. He squeezed through the crowd with a plastic bag and came to the side of the man in black. Chu Ye originally had no expression. Her expression turned worried when she saw Uncle Wang. She wanted to tell him to stay aside and not come over, but Uncle Wang waved his hand to stop her.
The man in black thought it was an enthusiastic crowd who wanted to see the fish, so he quickly explained, "Look at this fish, I bought it from her. It smells so fishy that I don't know how long it has been dead."
Uncle Wang rolled his eyes and didn't want to answer. He looked carefully at the fish pieces on the chopping board, turned over the fish head with his hands, and said "tsk", "I didn't say that, the fish head is slimy, it looks like Didn’t you buy it today? ”
Chu Ye also spoke at this time, "Yes, brother, I think you are angry. It must be your first time coming to my place, right?"
As soon as the words fell, discussions arose.
Anger flashed across the face of the man in black. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "My wife came to buy it! She didn't look carefully when she bought it and asked you to choose for her. When she got home, she found out that it was this bad Fish meat! You must have used this kind of thing to fool people while she was not paying attention!" After saying that, he said confidently, and then looked at Uncle Wang sideways after glaring at Chu Ye.
This damn old man, coming out of nowhere, will definitely ruin his good deeds!
Uncle Wang's face didn't change, and he even stared back. What a joke, what kind of storms and waves has he not seen at his age? What happened to a big guy with tattoos? If anyone dared to touch him with a finger, he would lie down on the ground with his heart in his hands!
"Okay, okay, brother, please calm down. Since it was bought by my eldest sister, can you please tell me, did you buy this fish from me today? How much did you spend when you bought it?" Old God Chu Ye was still angry. After calming down, she noticed some clues when she was looking at the fish pieces. Later, when Uncle Wang looked at the fish head, she took it and took a look at it. As a result, she saw the second wrong thing.
Combined with the man's words, she had the answer in her mind. It was just that it was easy to throw dirty water on others, but it was extremely difficult to clear herself up. She wanted this man to reveal his own lies.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, the face of the man in black became even more angry. He rolled his eyes and punched the cement table with his last punch. After a loud "bang", there was a loud sound, and then he pulled He shouted, "What do you mean? Do you want to default on your debt! Come and see, everyone, this man sells bad fish and refuses to admit it, let's see who dares to come to this store to buy fish in the future!"
He has a loud voice and what he says is extremely controversial. More and more people are joining in the fun behind him.
"Brother, please calm down first. I didn't say I wouldn't compensate you." Chu Ye waved his hand and raised his volume in an instant. The clear female voice accurately reached the ears of the spectators, "As long as you make sure you bought it from me, don't worry. If I give you one more, I’ll give you ten more, and I won’t even bother you! I just want to ask, how much did the eldest sister spend on me?”
"How do I know! Who can remember how much money they spend on groceries every day? It's like they can't afford to live!" The eldest brother rolled his eyes. Although it didn't sound good, it did resonate with some people.
"That's not bad. When I went out to buy meat and vegetables, who would remember how much each item cost?"
"I think that's the case. If a bad fish is discovered, you can just withdraw it now, and you won't give up."
"This kind of business won't last long."
"You bastard, I will remember this place and will never come here to buy fish again."
……
"Bah! This little girl didn't say she wouldn't compensate, but she just asked me what's wrong? Why don't you come up and scold me!" Amidst the discussion, Uncle Wang spoke for Chu Ye in a high tone. After speaking, he turned around and said: Chu Ye gave a reassuring look. Chu Ye curved the corners of his mouth, and a little smile crept into his eyes. When the man in black saw someone speaking for him, he straightened his back. His eyes were disdainful. He did not look at Chu Ye at this time, but glanced to the left and right sides. When his eyes fell on the stall owner on the right, he touched his nose and looked away without trace.
Chu Ye took all this into consideration, and in full view of everyone, she weighed all the fish pieces and reported the number of pounds in front of everyone, "Four pounds and seven taels, a total of one dollar and thirty-one cents. I usually charge one dollar and thirty-one cents." , I keep accounts every day when I sell fish, and as of today, I haven’t sold it at this price.”
"Hey! You've made a deal and you still don't want to admit it? You're the only one here anyway, so you don't have the final say on how much it will cost?" The man in black caught the loophole and immediately counterattacked.
After hearing this, the people around him felt that it was reasonable, and looked at Chu Ye with increasingly unfriendly eyes.
The more times like this, Chu Ye became less panicked, and even had a friendly smile on his lips. The man in black began to frown, wondering what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd? If you don't apologize and comfort yourself at this time, why are you still laughing?
I heard Chu Ye's calm and loud voice, "It is indeed like what this elder brother said. Only I know how to keep my accounts. No one can say whether I am cheating or not. In fact, you can call elder sister to come over and ask how much I spent... "Her tone was drawn out, and the man in black frowned even more tightly, and the muscles on his shoulders bulged again. , as if he was about to get angry, Chu Ye calmly continued the second half of the sentence, "But this is really troublesome and wastes everyone's time. I just ask you to take a look. These fish pieces are a bit rotten, and the taste is even worse." It’s pungent. If I had really just bought it today, I would have smelled it as soon as I got it.”
"Of course I'm not shirking responsibility. I plan to continue this business for a long time, and I definitely won't do something like this to tarnish my reputation. So I want to ask my brother, this fish shouldn't be bought today, right?"< br>
The expressions of the people around him changed again and again, and what the little girl said made sense. Anyone carrying such a bag of fishy odor that couldn't be concealed in the seafood market would definitely notice something was wrong immediately.
"Even if I bought it yesterday, I shouldn't have left it for a day in this kind of weather and it should have deteriorated like this, right?" The man in black quickly found a rebuttal, and as soon as he said this, there were people who echoed it.
“It must have been because it wasn’t too fresh when I bought it yesterday, and the smell got worse after being left out overnight, so I came to return it.”
"I think so. This yelling is so naive and boring. Just pay the money and get it done!"
"But this person is serious. The fish he bought yesterday comes to be exchanged today. He should have checked it carefully when buying it!"
……
The crowd seemed to have acquiesced that this was the fish they bought yesterday. The man in black thought for a moment and felt that this could indeed explain it. It also solved the problem that there was no record in the account book today, so after Chu Ye asked if he bought it today, He replied decisively and solemnly, "I remembered it wrong! My wife should have bought it from you yesterday. It was not fresh when she bought it. I didn't know it at the time. When I was about to eat it today, I realized something was wrong with the fish."
< br>
He said this, although some people think this approach is inappropriate, but after thinking about it carefully, in this kind of weather, no matter how much it lasts for a day, it will not stink like this! I guess the fish I gave to people when I bought it was not good quality fish.
"Okay! Just apologize and admit your mistake and return the fish to me!" The man in black rolled his eyes, looking quite generous.
He was obviously very tolerant in this way. Everyone present thought about it. If this happened to them, they would be in a bad mood buying such a smelly fish, so they felt that his previous rude behavior was excusable. Others advised Chu Ye, "Boss, stop being stubborn and admit your mistake."
"Oh, it's boring. The little girl always wants to take shortcuts when doing business, and she's gone."
"Didn't you weigh it just now? If you know the price, return the money to others and don't sell bad fish in the future."
"That's right, when buying groceries in the future, you still have to choose carefully to avoid encountering this kind of trouble again!"
……
The crowd was talking a lot, but they all urged Chu Ye to apologize quickly. Everyone seemed to have acquiesced in this matter. Chu Ye sold the bad fish first, and others were looking for trouble later. Some people had already seen through the ending, and turned around to join in the fun. Walk.
Among this group of people, there are also people who have visited Chu Ye's shop and believe in her character. However, they are soft-spoken. Even if they speak for Chu Ye at this time, some people immediately retort that the stall owner may mix good with bad, and you can buy it. Good fish because they haven’t encountered anything like this.
Uncle Wang was also anxious and anxious. He tried his best to say good things for Chu Ye, but no one cared.
The man in black stood in front of the crowd with his arms folded, his mouth twitching, full of pride. The tattoo on his arm seemed to be getting more and more aggressive, as if he wanted to eat people.
Amidst the sounds of crusade around her, Chu Ye knew that once she admitted this mistake today, there would be no place for her here in the future. These people would spread the word, and all that was waiting for her was to be infamous and leave in despair. .
Rumors are like endless waves, and she is the only helmsman on the canoe. Faced with the ruthless beating of the waves, all she can do is hold the rudder in her hand and compete with the waves to see who can be better. So she calmed down and met the disdainful gaze of the man in black. She spoke loudly, using the voice she used when she was a teacher standing on the podium so that the last row could hear it, and said, "I have evidence. This fish is not me." For sale!”
