$140, the Stallion Man Who Got a Sudden Opportunity
"What are you selling in this store? How can you find maggots in it? Isn't it disgusting?"
Eleven or twelve o'clock is the time when the braised food store has the best business. Some people sit down to order set meals to eat in the restaurant, and some people go directly to the takeaway window on the other side to buy the cooked food they like, cut it and take it home to eat. There is also a long queue outside, people coming and going, it's so lively.
Today, only Jin Xiujuan and the eight hired staff are busy in the store. Jiang Yahong and Yan Zhonghua and others went to prepare for the factory and were not in the store. As soon as someone started to make a fuss, Jin Xiujuan quickly put down the work in her hands and let a waiter take over, and then went to take a look.
"Everyone, look, what's in this braised meat? These are maggots, fly larvae. How dirty must the kitchen be to have such things?"
A man dressed like an ordinary white-collar worker picked up two small maggots with chopsticks and showed them to the people eating next to him. Many people were eating sweetly, but they couldn't help feeling a little disgusted when they saw this scene. It was such a delicious thing, but it always felt unpalatable.
"Everyone, look in your bowl, don't eat it whole by mistake, it's dirty, it will really harm your body."
He said loudly, his face full of bad luck and disgust.
"Look, look."
The people next to him subconsciously looked at the braised pork noodles or braised pork rice on the table in front of them after hearing what he said. No one dared to touch the food in front of them.
"Damn, I found a maggot here too, floating on the soup. I almost mistook it for minced garlic and ate it."
"I had one here too, but it wasn't a maggot, it was a fly."
One after another, several customers who were sitting in other places stood up. Now, the store was completely bustling. People who were originally queuing outside the store began to squeeze into the house, wanting to know what happened. Those who were eating or packing cooked food to go home asked the store owner to come out and give an explanation.
Because of the good taste, the braised food store has accumulated a large number of repeat customers in the past six months. Now that they know that the food they have always liked has such poor hygiene conditions during the production process, they think that they may have eaten maggots inadvertently. They are disgusted, as if their mouths are filled with the smell of feces.
After all, in the eyes of most people, only the old-fashioned manure pits are the favorite places for maggots.
Some people also thought that the business of this store was too good, so someone came to make trouble. However, when they saw the dirty things in the bowls, there were white-collar workers working nearby, elderly people, and fashionable men and women. It didn't look like it was arranged by humans.
"Boss, come out and give an explanation. This thing will damage your body. Go to the hospital and pay money!"
One of the men, who was quite strong and looked not to be messed with, stepped directly on the chair and asked the boss of the store to give an explanation.
"The hygiene of our store can definitely be guaranteed. Everyone, please be quiet for a while. I will definitely give you an explanation."
Jin Xiujuan has been the boss for half a year. Under the deliberate training of Jiang Yahong, she is not as soft-tempered as before. She raised her voice and spoke loudly, temporarily suppressing a wave of discussions.
Now some people have started to take videos with their mobile phones. This braised food store is a well-known store on the Internet. In addition, they have plans to open a factory. If it is not handled well, the impact on the brand will be huge.
Jin Xiujuan calmed down and planned to find out the whole story.
"You said it's clean, so what is this?"
The male white-collar worker who first discovered the maggots in the bowl stood up and said to Jin Xiujuan angrily, "Your food is not cheap. We spend a lot of money, not to eat maggots."
His words were responded to by many customers. The braised pork rice in other stores costs more than ten yuan a bowl, and the ones in large shopping malls only cost thirty or forty yuan, while the braised pork rice of Yan's family is almost all over a hundred yuan. The reason for eating is the taste and peace of mind. Not everyone has the money to enjoy this every day. They come once or twice a week to satisfy their cravings.
For most customers, what happened today is too disgusting and makes people feel that it is not worth it.
"I know that no matter what I say, everyone will find it hard to believe, but this matter must be handled clearly, giving everyone a satisfactory answer and giving our braised food store a clean slate."
Jin Xiujuan suppressed the anger of the audience that the white-collar worker had stirred up again. Her attitude that she was sure that the problem was not with her also rekindled the confidence of some customers in them.
"What do you mean? Are you saying we cheated you? I drive a Ferrari, how can I cheat you?"
The sturdy man standing on the chair looked fierce and like a gangster. I didn't expect that he was actually a hidden rich man.
There are many people who use this method to blackmail people now, but seeing the car keys that the sturdy man casually took out, people's suspicion of him was reduced.
The husband said that the husband was right and the wife said that the wife was right, and it seemed as if they were trapped in a Rashomon.
"Call the police, pay compensation, such a conscienceless store must be closed down."
The sturdy man became more and more angry as he spoke, and he stepped forward to grab Jin Xiujuan's collar. The onlookers on the side were half watching the fun, and half were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to take action. It was still a few waiters who saw that the boss was outnumbered and stepped forward to stop the man.
"I do business with a conscience, but I am afraid that some competitors will use dirty tricks to do these dirty things. I, Jin Xiujuan, swear that if there is a problem with the hygiene of my store, the government will not shut down the store. I will shut down the store myself." "Yes, but if someone else deliberately framed me, please help me bear witness when the time comes and give me justice."
Jin Xiujuan realized that it was useless to say nice things to these people. When it was time to be strong, she had to be strong, and she could not let others pour dirty water on them like this.
"Don't worry, boss lady. If someone else deliberately framed you, we are all witnesses and will help you take those people to the public security bureau."
A young man holding up his mobile phone and taking pictures said, and there were many friends of the same age standing beside him, who nodded.
The white-collar man who spoke first had a hint of guilt in his eyes, but when he realized where he was sitting, he quickly regained his confidence.
"As you all know, the braised food in our braised food shop tastes better than other stores, so we pay more attention to this recipe than other stores. Don't look at it. There seem to be only four cameras installed on the ceiling of this store. In fact, there are twelve cameras. There is no blind spot in the whole store.”
At this time, Jin Xiujuan was a little thankful for her son's suggestion. Originally, they didn't plan to spend too much money on this, but her son suggested that there are people who make money by putting flies and mice in food. In order to deal with these people, we must Also make sure that the camera can capture each table from different angles.
As soon as she said these words, the expressions of the white-collar man and the strong man suddenly changed.
The two of them were hired by someone, and he bought the so-called Ferrari key online to show off and make his words more reliable.
With their experience, they certainly know where the blind spots are. The employer asked them to provoke the anger of customers, and then film themselves and upload the video to the Internet to tarnish the reputation of the store. After the incident was completed, the other party gave them 100,000 yuan. .
I didn’t expect this store to be so sophisticated. It looked like there were only four cameras, but in fact there were eight more installed where they couldn’t see them. If they were caught throwing maggots into the bowl in a secret way, they would have to use physical evidence to prove it. We are all here, let alone stay in a detention center for a few days.
Fortunately, they have experience and did not give specific figures when they were extorting money. Otherwise, they would have to go to jail.
Jin Xiujuan did what she said. She pulled out all the videos and played the videos of the positions of those who said they found maggots in their bowls in front of everyone. Sure enough, in the video, you could vaguely see that they had put maggots into the bowls. The action of throwing things, the screenshot is enlarged, and it can be seen that it is what they call maggots.
"They are cheating us out of money, but as for us, we have been eating honestly from beginning to end. No one has touched our bowls. Why are there still maggots and flies? It means there is still a problem with the hygiene in your store. "
There were also other customers who were dissatisfied. When the white-collar man was caught throwing maggots into the bowl, other customers treated them as liars, which was very frustrating.
Jin Xiujuan did not speak, but directly called up another video clip. Everyone could see that this video was shot inside the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, a small store even has countless cameras installed in the kitchen. This is a phobia of being persecuted, the onlookers thought to themselves as they looked at the small screens.
However, it is precisely because of this that this unreasonable disaster was avoided.
Jin Xiujuan played back the pictures captured by each camera. From the pictures, you can clearly see how clean the kitchen is. All the chefs and helpers working in the kitchen wear hoods, hand masks and masks, including washing dishes. The bowls being cleaned in the sink have been washed at least five times, and each bowl is polished and shiny. Unlike many stores, the kitchen utensils are taken out directly after being dipped in soapy water.
Before this emergency, the store had no idea that something like this would happen. This video clip cannot be faked. At least in terms of hygiene, they did what Jin Xiujuan had just promised, and they were conscientious.
The vast majority of the customers present have completely believed the store owner's innocence and recognized the high-quality hygiene of the store. They will feel more at ease when they come to eat in the store in the future.
"Stop, stop."
Many viewers stared at the video frames and quickly reminded Jin Xiujuan to press the pause button after seeing a certain scene.
In one of the scenes, a figure who looked like a chef poured some things that should not be in the noodles into the noodles before delivering the plate of braised rice and braised pork noodles, and then stirred it with chopsticks.
Sure enough, there was no doubt that someone had framed him. The cook was probably bribed by someone, so he did such a thing to frame the store.
Those customers whose bowls had ingredients added were disgusted. Reason told them that this was not the store's pot, but the food actually went into their stomachs and damaged their bodies. Whose fault is it?
"Xiao Lin, go call the police quickly and see if Xiao Fang is still there."
Wearing a mask, she could clearly identify the person in the video, but the movement was so loud that Jin Xiujuan thought that the person had already sneaked away. Fortunately, the recruitment process was very strict and the identity information was collected, so she could still identify the person by then. People found it.
"Our braised food store is responsible for negligence and improper management in this matter. For customers who find maggots or flies in their bowls, we will bear all your inspection costs. As for the specific compensation, please negotiate privately later."
Jin Xiujuan's handling method was so appropriate that even the customers who innocently ate the cut-out food could not find anything bad to say.
"It's not your fault. Just waive the order this time and have a clean meal again."
A customer who found a fly in his rice said grandly that the store owner was quite innocent in the first place. If he hadn't been well prepared, he would have almost taken the blame. It seemed quite inhumane to ask him to pay a sum of money.
Most of the people who could afford a meal costing more than 100 yuan were really not short of money. One person refused. The others were very happy to hear that there was compensation, but were too embarrassed to speak again.
"This is a responsibility we must bear. We hired the store clerks. Even if they are instigated by others, their actions do harm the interests of customers. Responsibility is the most important principle for a store to open for a long time, so please accept it. Our apology and compensation.”
Jin Xiujuan was somewhat fortunate that she became a boss for the first time and learned a lot of official accent from her son, which happened to come in handy at this time.
The scene just captured by the kitchen camera proved the hygiene of this store, and Jin Xiujuan's performance in crisis management proved the store's responsibility and diligence. All the customers present suddenly felt that the money was well spent. The taste of the food in this store will make me want to patronize it more in the future. At least I feel at ease when I spend money in this store.
As for the white-collar man and the strong man, they had already been subdued by the store clerk and the group of teenagers who had just agreed to help. When the police arrived, they were all taken to the police station.

"Brother, what should I do? Our boss found out about my mischief. Am I going to go to jail?"
A sneaky man appeared on a dim path and said to a man wearing a mask whose appearance was unclear.
"At most, I will arrest you and detain you for a period of time. What are you afraid of? Those maggots and flies are farmed for feed. They are not poisonous and will not harm people. The boss gave you 50,000 yuan. You will be a helper and work hard. It takes a year to earn this amount of money.”
The man wearing a mask lowered his voice and said it sounded strange. He seemed to be using a voice changer.
"Have you brought anything?"
he asked.
"Bring it."
The man took out something wrapped in generations of gauze from his arms. Just as he was about to hand it out, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the remaining 30,000 yuan first."
The other party is right. His behavior will only serve him in jail for a few months at most. Generally speaking, a period of detention is enough. If he can earn 50,000 yuan, it is still worth it.
The masked man handed him 30,000 yuan with disdain, then took the bags in his hand, looked around, put on his hat and left.
The cook took the money, hid it in the thick layer of his cotton-padded jacket, and left in a hurry.

"Have you checked how many raw materials there are?"
Zhang Zifan was very angry that his good idea did not crush the Yan Chu family's business. All his fellow villagers had made a fortune doing this kind of thing.
Those restaurants, especially some high-end restaurants, are most afraid of people who make trouble, because if they can't produce evidence, they will only be smelly if they make a big fuss.
Generally speaking, the last time you do it, in addition to a free meal, the minimum is three to four hundred, and the maximum is one or two thousand. It is much faster and easier than working part-time.
If Zhang Zifan hadn't been timid, he would have been encouraged by his fellow villagers to do this. He didn't expect that Yan Chu's store was so tightly guarded and had so many hidden cameras secretly installed.
Shameless, if you have the ability, just install the camera to be more upright, so that he can think of other ideas, causing him to spend an extra 100,000 yuan to buy those useless trash.
"Except for some common spices in braised food, other ingredients have been ground into powder, and the raw materials and quantities cannot be identified at all. After investigating the monthly purchase channels of the braised food shop, the spices and medicinal materials purchased are as high as 160. There are many kinds, but only the store knows which ones are fake and which ingredients are used in different marinade recipes.”
Zhang Zifan was very dissatisfied with this answer and didn't know anything. In other words, he spent another 50,000 yuan to hire someone to steal the marinade bag?
He worked hard to think of a way, but in the end he lost 150,000 yuan, and even helped promote Yan Chu's braised meat shop for free?
The video taken that day was posted online. Now more people know how delicious the food in this braised food shop is and how good the hygienic conditions of this shop are.
Zhang Zifan covered his chest, feeling a little heartbroken.
*****
"I knew that as the reputation of this store increased, there would be more and more shitty things. Fortunately, Xiao Chu was smart and reminded us in advance to install more cameras. When it came time to add ingredients, he deliberately added a few more ingredients and bought The grinder directly grinds some ingredients into powder, and then puts them into the bag. No matter how much I am, I don’t know how many ingredients are added and what the proportion of each ingredient is. "
When Jiang Yahong came back from a busy schedule and heard Jin Xiujuan talking about what happened during the day, she immediately became furious.
"What did the police say? Do you want to know who instigated it? That Xiao Fang stole several bags of marinade. Someone must be greedy for our business and want to sabotage it and steal the secret recipe."
For a restaurant like theirs that sells flavor, the secret recipe is the backbone of the store. If other stores crack it, how can they raise the price?
"No, the police said that those people didn't admit it was someone else's instruction. They just said they didn't bring any money and they put maggots in the bowl because they wanted us to waive the bill. As for Xiao Fang, he didn't admit it and said he stole the marinade. Bao just wanted to steal the braised meat bag and take it home to cook braised pork because he couldn’t afford the food in the store.”
Jin Xiujuan shook her head, looking unhappy. They all knew that this was unbelievable, but there was no evidence that the other party was bribed. They kept their mouths shut and acted like scoundrels. There was no record of any sudden unknown transfers in the bank flow. The police couldn't do anything to them. Moreover, according to them, the amount involved was not high, so they could only be detained for a few days and then released.
"Is it just like that?"
Jiang Yahong was speechless. It felt like being slapped in the face, but you couldn't slap back. It was too frustrating.
But they were just ordinary citizens. When they encountered such a thing, the police couldn't do anything to them. What else could they do? They just accepted this loss.
The children will take the college entrance examination in a few months. None of the four adults told them about the troubles in the store, but they forgot that they had just bought mobile phones for the two children not long ago. Bai Ling currently knew nothing, while Yan Chu, who was almost the king of the Internet, knew the whole story of the incident clearly and guessed who did it.
He felt that the time-space destroyer was a strange person. In this life, he could have lived a good life with the support of the Zhang family. Even if he did not plan to participate in any of the family's businesses, the family trust fund alone, the dividends from the shares he received after adulthood, and the golden finger he had snatched from his original body were enough for him to live a comfortable life.
But he just wanted to make things difficult for himself. This strange idea was hard to understand.
Yan Chu had originally thought about whether the other party was reborn, because in the original owner's memory, the other party was once a rich second generation who had been slapped in the face by him, but after observing the other party's words and deeds, Yan Chu ruled out this option.
In the original body's memory, the rich second generation was still very capable, but he suddenly became stupid after meeting him, and now the person occupying Zhang Zifan's body is even more stupid than the original rich second generation. Yan Chu felt that the possibility of the other party crossing might be greater.
He knew the stories of this world, such as traveling through books, so he took the golden finger one step ahead and coveted the original owner's harem. This is why the other party didn't recognize him when he saw his face, but knew who he was immediately when he heard his name.
Yan Chu felt that this should be the true origin of the time and space destroyer in this world.
Before the end of the college entrance examination, Yan Chu couldn't spare too much time to deal with the other party. After all, he still had to supervise Bai Ling to study hard and make progress every day. It seems that he still has to give him some trouble recently so that he doesn't have so much time to stare at him. When he is free, he will think about how to deal with the other party's current situation.
*****
"What are these things? Explain them to me clearly."
The old mansion of the Zhang family, the current ruler, Mr. Zhang, sat on the armchair and threw a stack of photos on his grandson Zhang Zifan.
Those photos were scattered like snowflakes. Zhang Zifan's father and mother, who were standing next to him, also saw the contents of the photos clearly. They were almost all intimate scenes between their son and different women. In the bar, massage room, and hotel, there were all hot photos of flesh to flesh. Especially some photos that seemed to be screenshots of the video in the hotel corridor. The son hugged some women with revealing clothes and hot bodies and was about to open the door of the room. Although there were no more intimate scenes, everyone knew what he would do next.
"These photos were sent by the Jiang family. The messenger said that an unknown person sent these photos to them, and also sent a copy to some gossip magazines in Huai City. Fortunately, they were intercepted in advance. Our Zhang family is also a well-known family in Huai City. You can play, but you have to grow some brains for me."
Grandpa Zhang was very angry. He was very optimistic about his grandson Zhang Zifan. Although he was not as favored as his eldest grandson, Grandpa Zhang also wanted to train this grandson to be his cousin's right-hand man, otherwise he would not have arranged a marriage for him in the Jiang family.
As a result, the other party has been increasingly disappointing him in the past six months. He doesn't care about the family business, and has neglected most of his studies. He just spends his days looking for antiques everywhere.
That's fine. At most, he can just raise this grandson as an idler, but some of his current practices are completely slapping the Jiang family in the face. An engaged couple must give the Jiang family face no matter what. If you want to cheat, you shouldn't do it so blatantly.
Fortunately, the Zhang family and the Jiang family now have a lot of cooperative businesses, otherwise this marriage would be ruined.
"And last time, you left Qiaoqiao alone at Hao Dafu's gambling venue and let her take a taxi back alone. What's the matter that's so urgent that you neglect your fiancée so much? If you are not satisfied with this marriage, our Zhang family is not short of men, and the candidate for marriage can be changed."
Mr. Zhang's words made Zhang Zifan a little panicked. He didn't know who took the photos of him and those women and sent them to the Jiang family.
He wanted to marry Jiang Qiao as his wife. She was educated, well-educated, and generous. This was the style of a lady from a wealthy family. If she was his wife, she would be able to handle the relationship with other women well and would not embarrass him.
He didn't know if Jiang Qiao had seen these photos and whether she would be disappointed with him.
He knew that the old man's tone would not really mean that he wanted to cancel his engagement with Jiang Qiao in the short term. After all, marriage was a big deal, and their engagement had appeared in the financial newspaper. Once the engagement was canceled, it would affect the stock prices of both families, so he still had a chance to save the relationship.
"Dad, I will teach Zifan a lesson. I promise he won't make mistakes again before Qiaoqiao graduates and gets married."
Grandpa Zhang was disappointed with his son, and so was his father. He was the second son, and he always felt that his father favored his eldest brother. His son's excellence gave him hope again, especially after the old man personally facilitated his son's engagement with the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.
Father Zhang thought that if he couldn't get the company, his son might be able to.
But in the past six months, his son has become more and more depraved. Every time he was disciplined, he still had an expression of being sober while everyone else was drunk, and those words of admonition were not taken to heart at all.
Over time, Zhang's father and mother also gave up and turned their attention to their younger son, who was seven years younger than Zhang Zifan and had room for improvement.
Zhang Zifan didn't notice the change in his parents' attitude towards him at all. He just felt that there were fewer nagging words and his ears were much quieter.
In his opinion, those who don't understand him now just haven't reached his level. When he makes a big splash in the future, those people will know how shallow their current thoughts are and how short-sighted they are.
However, everyone has to bow their heads under the eaves. At present, Zhang Zifan can only follow his parents to admit his mistakes to the old man, and then repeatedly promise that he will never go out to mess around again, wait for the wedding honestly, and try to win the heart of Miss Jiang during this period.
In the following days, Zhang Zifan has no time to deal with the Yan family, and no energy to develop his beloved business of picking up leaks. He asks about Jiang Qiao's well-being on time every morning, noon and evening, and has to give Jiang Qiao a surprise from time to time.
Under the strict defense of his family, except Jiang Qiao, he has almost no other opposite sex to approach.
"Zifan, can I call you that?"
In the high-end restaurant, Jiang Qiao took a sip of wine, then smiled and looked at Zhang Zifan and said.
Before this, she always called Zhang Zifan Mr. Zhang, without the intimacy of an engaged couple.
Zhang Zifan, who originally felt that being with Jiang Qiao all day long, without other women and unable to practice his abilities, was a little bored and tedious, finally felt that his efforts over the past few days might not be in vain, and the flower in front of him was about to surrender to his love.
"Of course."
He said affectionately, leaning forward slightly, and tentatively touched the back of Jiang Qiao's hand.
Delicate and smooth, the hands of such a pampered lady were incomparable to the many women he had experienced since he came to this world, just like a piece of fine white jade, making people eager to put it in their mouths and love it wantonly.
The desire revealed in his eyes made Jiang Qiao feel sick, and she almost subconsciously wanted to shake off Zhang Zifan's hand, but thinking of the anonymous email whose IP could not be found, Jiang Qiao calmed down the anger in her heart and let the other party play with her fingers.
"I have a problem recently, but I don't know who to talk to. I wonder if Zifan can help me think of an idea so that I can better deal with the problem I am facing now."
Jiang Qiao has always been arrogant in front of Zhang Zifan, and it is rare for her to be so gentle and charming.
The beauty that is different from the past made Zhang Zifan eager to move.
"What problem, as long as it is your trouble, I will help you solve it."
Zhang Zifan's voice was hoarse, thinking about how beautiful such a beauty would be if he pressed her under him and gasped.
"You know, as long as we are 20 years old, our Jiang family can get a 5 million start-up fund. My eldest cousin got this money earlier than me. He has always disliked me and liked to bully me since he was a child. I want to know how to develop 5 million into more assets than he has now in a short time."
Jiang Qiao's question seemed to be a desperate attempt. Zhang Zifan didn't do business, so how could he know how to maximize the assets in the shortest time.
But Zhang Zifan really knew it.
One month later, a stock that was originally priced at 28 yuan per share will soar to more than 200 yuan. There will be ups and downs in between. Many people bought it when the stock price was at its highest, but it plummeted again. Many stockholders who invested all their fortunes committed suicide.
Zhang Zifan remembered this stock because in the novel, the male protagonist first came into contact with stock trading. He jokingly invested one million in a stock that had already started to rise, and was lucky enough to sell the stock before it was about to collapse, and luckily made a lot of money.
"I have inside information. There is a stock that will rise sharply in a month."
After hesitating for a moment, looking at the dazzling and trusting woman in front of him, Zhang Zifan was full of confidence. On impulse, he leaned close to Jiang Qiao's ear and told her the news.
He was afraid that others would hear it, so he only quickly said the name of the stock to her ear.
Looking at Jiang Qiao's white and flawless skin, he was still confused and kissed her on the cheek. Smelling the fragrance, Zhang Zifan felt that it didn't seem to be a loss.
Anyway, Jiang Qiao will be his woman sooner or later, so it's better to let her save more wealth early, because in the future, they will all belong to Zhang Zifan's children.
Because of this unexpected kiss, Jiang Qiao's cheeks were red with anger, and Zhang Zifan couldn't help laughing.
Shy women are really cute.
Jiang Qiao smiled with her lips pursed, and she wanted to pour the wine in the glass directly on his face.
Laugh, laugh, if it's different from what was said in the email, how would she torture this disgusting man in front of her.
But if it's the same...
Jiang Qiao's eyes were dark. Perhaps sacrificing her marriage in exchange for a huge Jiang family was not a bad thing.
She never thought that marriage was everything for a woman. Men could fight for their careers all their lives, so why couldn't women? Why was she destined not to be among the heirs of the Jiang family just because of her gender difference?
She wanted everyone to know that Jiang Qiao had a share in the Jiang family.
As for the man in front of her, it was easy to fool a fool.
