Chapter 509 Are the fungus in Shuiyunjian poisonous?
When Meng Qixue was twelve years old, she officially took over the restaurants and shops in the capital and several surrounding counties.
It wasn't that she wanted to take care of it, but the adults in the family were too lazy. One said he had backache and leg pain and wanted to go back to his hometown to recuperate. Another said the journey was too far and they couldn't afford it. The other brothers and sisters were too busy to see anyone, so the heavy responsibility of looking after the store fell on her.
New officials have three things to do when they take office, and new bosses are no exception.
On her first day as the boss of Shuiyunjian, Meng Qixue took Shu Yiyan and two followers to the store to inspect the business.
I don’t know whether it was her bad luck or God was deliberately testing her. As soon as she entered the store, something happened to her back foot.
A table of customers in the store ordered a mushroom soup pot. Halfway through the meal, seven and a half of the eight people collapsed. One of them lay sickly at the table and asked the waiter for an explanation.
He immediately said that the bacteria in the pot were poisonous and that he wanted to report the owner to the police and arrest him.
The waiter on duty at that time had worked in Shuiyunjian for several years and had a deep affection for his position and the restaurant. When he heard someone saying that the mushroom soup pot in the store was poisonous, he started a fight with them on the spot.
"Stop talking alarmist here and ruining the reputation of Shuiyunjian! We at Shuiyunjian have been selling mushroom soup pots for five or six years. We have dozens of branches in Daqi. We have never had any problems in these years. How could we eat it?
Poisoned?"
Many of the customers in the store were regular customers of Shuiyunjian. After hearing this, they also started to speak to the waiter, saying that this might be a misunderstanding and asking the customer to recall whether they had eaten anything else at the same table.
But the customer insisted that the mushroom soup pot was poisonous, and pushed the uneaten mushrooms in front of the waiter, threatening: "Didn't you say they are not poisonous? Then eat them all. If everything is fine after eating, I will believe it."
The problem with the mushroom soup pot!”
The waiter in the shop had a hot temper and couldn't bear to be provoked. As soon as he heard this, he directly took the pot and ate and drank.
After eating less than half of the pot, he patted his round belly, burped loudly, and asked the guest: "After eating, what next?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sharp pain in his abdomen, and he twitched and fell down.
When Meng Qixue heard the news and rushed over, the store was already in chaos. The waiter was lying on the ground and convulsing violently. The other customers were frightened to death. Several tables that had not been served ran away in panic. Customers who had eaten in their mouths
Then he scratched his throat and vomited desperately.
The guest who originally made a fuss about reporting to the government slapped the table and howled even louder: "Everyone comes to see, Shuiyunjian is selling toadstools and doing harm to people!"
In a short time, a large group of people had gathered outside the store to watch the excitement. At first, his credibility alone was not high, but now that a waiter who collapsed on the ground appeared and gave his own explanation, everyone believed him.
A group of people followed the customer and shouted, saying that the owner of Shuiyunjian was evil-hearted and was selling poisonous mushrooms to harm people, and wanted to report her to the official and arrest her.
Meng Qixue was anxious and wanted to rush out to argue with everyone, but before she could take a step forward, she was held down by Shu Yiyan again.
"There may be something fishy about this matter. If it is as I expected, they should have come prepared. I'm afraid they can't solve it just by talking."
Meng Qixue heard something in his words, "What do you mean?"
The skinny young boy back then has grown a lot, his character and temperament have become more mature and steady, and his voice is like a gentle breeze when he opens his mouth, which has the power to calm people's hearts.
"I stand up to confront them as the boss of Shuiyunjian. If it is inevitable that I will be taken to the Yamen for interrogation, you should go to Dali Temple immediately to ask Mr. Gu for help."
"I don't." Meng Qixue said no without thinking, "My second brother is the boss in the palace, and they don't dare to do anything to me, so if I have to go to jail, I have to do it."
Shu Yiyan lowered his eyes and looked at her deeply, "Qixue, be obedient."
"Oh..." Meng Qixue lowered her head reluctantly and stared at her toes without speaking.
Shu Yiyan glanced at her again and explained helplessly: "There will definitely be other customers coming to make trouble in the past few days. There are many things that need to be dealt with, and the store cannot live without people."
"I know, just do as you say." Meng Qixue replied dully, then turned around and told other clerks in the store to call the doctor and report to the official.
Shu Yiyan breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the crowd calmly, and expressed his attitude succinctly: Shuiyunjian was clean, and there would never be any incidents of poisonous bacteria harming people. As the owner of Shuiyunjian, he was willing to accept the government investigation.
As for those customers who scratch their throats and vomit in the store, they can wait for the doctor to come over to check their health and confirm that they are fine before leaving. All expenses, including meals, will be borne by Shui Yunjian.
At this time, some guests had calmed down from the panic and were ready to return to their seats and wait for the arrival of the doctor. However, the guest who made the original trouble was determined to make the matter bigger, and kept using words such as poisoning people to death and bullying customers.
Keep it on your lips.
Those customers who were still worried could not stand this kind of excitement. They got excited and started making trouble again. In the chaos, whoever made the first move actually smashed the tables, chairs and benches in the store to pieces.
The farce stopped after the official arrived. Seeing the mess all over the store, Meng Qixue was so angry that her teeth itched. She pointed at the customer who was the one who caused the trouble and said, "Little bastard, just wait, my aunt will definitely do it."
Let you know the consequences of offending me!"
The guest smiled provocatively at her, turned around and complained to the officer in tears, saying that someone was threatening him.
The official gave Meng Qixue a warning, and took all the customers in the store and Shu Yiyan to the Yamen to formally investigate the case of poisonous fungi in Shuiyunjian.
If such a chaos occurs, Shuiyunjian will definitely close down temporarily. Not only the store in Beijing, but also the businesses of more than a dozen surrounding stores will be affected.
Even though the investigation of the case had just begun, the news that the fungus in Shuiyunjian was poisonous spread throughout the capital and several surrounding cities overnight, as if it had grown wings.
After Gu Jiali got the news, he specially appointed a fair and honest official to take charge of the matter.
According to the doctor's examination results, the eight customers and the waiter were indeed poisoned. As for what kind of poison they were poisoned, more than a dozen doctors said they could not tell.
The pot of poisonous fungi was smashed into pieces in the chaos. The officers searched the store for several hours, but failed to find any clues.
In the end, there was no other way, so the official ordered people to check the unused dried mushrooms in Shuiyunjian overnight, but no poisonous bacteria were found.
The officials presented the inspection results to the court and confronted the troubled guests, but the guests refused to admit it, claiming that the fact that the remaining fungi were not poisonous did not mean that their pot was not poisonous.
After all, there is a possibility that two bad fungi are mixed in a bunch of good fungi and they happen to be eaten by them.
Otherwise, why did the waiter in the shop, who was fine before, collapse after drinking the mushroom soup?
With the evidence in front of them, the officials had no choice but to temporarily take Shu Yiyan into custody and then find ways to look for new evidence from other aspects.
