Chapter 86
Chapter 86: Be ruthless and suffer losses instead
Seeing Su Jinxiu like this, Li Manhong was heartbroken.
Fortunately, Su Jinxiu didn't doubt her.
After Su Jinxiu finished boiling the chicken soup, she went to do other things.
Li Manhong quickly scooped up half the pot of chicken soup while no one was paying attention.
Quietly hand it over to the waiter of Jixiang Restaurant waiting by the back door.
After the people left, she poured more than half of the water into the pot and added a handful of crotons.
She wants Ruyi Restaurant to close down.
After doing all this, Li Manhong called Wang Shuangxi.
"You watch the fire, and I'll go to the hut.
If they ask, please help me explain."
Wang Shuangxi didn't think much, nodded and sat in front of the stove to watch the fire.
Li Manhong sneaked forward and pretended to pick up a rag to wipe the table.
"Uncle Lin, Shuangxi always makes excuses to stay in the kitchen these days.
Does she want to learn cooking from Shopkeeper Su?"
Lin Bo didn't even bother to raise his eyelids and was out of breath.
"Do your job well and don't care what others do?"
Li Manhong rolled her eyes, she was too lazy to care about Wang Shuangxi.
She just wanted to clean herself so that if something happened later, it wouldn't be her fault.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a noise next door.
"I personally saw your waiter carrying a bucket of chicken soup from our place.
You don't admit it?
Zhang Wanliang, is this how your Jixiang Restaurant does business?"
Is it Su Jinxiu's voice? Did she notice it?
Li Manhong threw away the rag and ran out quickly.
Su Jinxiu stood at the door of Jixiang Restaurant with a red face.
Zhang Wanliang and Su Hongxing blocked the door, looking at her triumphantly.
"Su Jinxiu, you're probably going crazy.
Our shopkeeper's cooking skills are not as good as yours, why would he steal your chicken soup?
Could it be that because our business is doing well, they came here to cause trouble?"
The waiter had already poured the chicken soup into the pot. Su Jinxiu had the ability to make the chicken soup respond to her.
"Shouldn't you? You've been working in Jixiang Restaurant for so many years, why would you do something like this to destroy the signboard?"
"I also think that Ruyi Restaurant is deliberately trying to get involved in this matter."
At this moment, many people gathered at the door of Jixiang Restaurant, pointing at Su Jinxiu.
Seeing Su Jinxiu's deflated appearance, Zhang Wanliang felt very happy in his heart.
"If I had known that Ruyi Restaurant would not last long, why would I have to commit suicide in the first place?
You've done everything right, now it's too late to regret it.
If you want to climb the high branches of our restaurant, just keep your head down and admit your mistake.
You can't do it wrong, just use this method."
Su Jinxiu gritted her teeth in anger and turned around to see Li Manhong, as if she had found a backbone.
"Aunt Li, you should be very familiar with the taste of the chicken soup I have been boiling for so long.
Smell it, the smell hasn’t dissipated yet!
You were in the kitchen just now, and you should have seen the waiter from Jixiang Restaurant sneaking around..."
Li Manhong glanced at Zhang Wanliang and saw Zhang Wanliang nodded slightly towards her.
Then I knew that I was going to beat up the drowned dog.
She looked horrified and quickly waved her hands.
"Shopkeeper Su, everyone is open for business.
How can you slander them like this? Even if you kick me out of Ruyi Restaurant today, I still have to say something fair.
The chicken soup at Jixiang Restaurant doesn’t taste the same as ours at all.”
Su Jinxiu looked at Li Manhong and understood.
"Is it you? Are you helping them steal my food? I asked them why their business suddenly improved..."
Lin Bo followed behind and couldn't help but curse when he heard this.
"Well, you evil-hearted thing, I fed my good intentions to the dogs.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have taken you in.
Get out of here, get out of Ruyi Restaurant."
Wang Shuangxi supported Lin Bo and looked at Li Manhong with a disappointed look on his face.
"How could you do this? What benefits did they promise you?
Li Manhong, people can be shameless, but they cannot be shameless."
Now that things have happened, Li Manhong is too lazy to pretend.
Anyway, Ruyi Restaurant is about to close.
"I just have a conscience, so I don't want to speak for you.
The chicken soup at Jixiang Restaurant is made by them themselves.
If it’s not your turn to catch up, I won’t do it anymore.”
Seeing that it was almost done, Zhang Wanliang hurriedly stepped forward and patted his chest to assure him.
"Don't worry, everyone, I cook all the dishes in our Jixiang Restaurant.
It has nothing to do with Ruyi Restaurant.
Although the dishes are similar, ours is cheaper.
I'm so happy today, each table will get an extra dish."
Upon hearing this, the onlookers entered Jixiang Restaurant one after another.
Li Manhong took advantage of this gap and sneaked away.
Su Jinxiu shook her head and took Lin Bo and Wang Shuangxi back to Ruyi Restaurant.
"How can we continue to work in this restaurant?"
Lin Bo was so angry and anxious that he started coughing while holding his chest.
Su Jinxiu put away her sadness and poured Bo Lin a cup of tea.
"Why can't I go on? The play is over and we have to do business.
Today we don't sell chicken soup, we sell barbecue.
Aunt Wang, you poured out the chicken soup at the back.
Clean the kitchen inside and out, throw away all the seasonings and replace them with new ones."
Wang Shuangxi and Lin Bo were a little confused looking at Su Jinxiu's arrogant appearance.
"Just ignore them?"
Su Jinxiu rolled up her sleeves and smiled meaningfully.
"The bitch will find her own destiny..."
Jixiang Restaurant was so busy today that we couldn't even sit down.
Zhang Wanliang thought happily while counting the silver.
After a few days, Lao Immortal's shop will be collected.
Then, take the little girl Su Taohua into her room.
His sweet dream was interrupted by the calls of diners.
"very painful."
"Me too, my stomach hurts."
Before Zhang Wanliang could react, everyone rushed to the hut.
But today there are many people, and there is only one hut, which is really not enough.
If you can't hold it in any longer, you can only solve it on the spot.
A nice restaurant suddenly turned into a large toilet.
The stench makes people nauseous.
Zhang Wanliang's face turned completely pale.
As soon as the diners entered Jixiang Restaurant to eat, they were unable to stand up on their back legs.
It was immediately clear that there was something wrong with the food at Jixiang Restaurant.
They gritted their teeth and endured the pain, and reported Zhang Wanliang to the Yamen.
A crowd of people crowded into the county government office, and Magistrate Zhang almost fainted from the stench.
After listening to what everyone said, I could only ask the doctor to check it for them.
After careful diagnosis and treatment, the doctor confirmed that there was something wrong with what they were eating.
"Sir, judging from the symptoms, it seems that you have taken croton by mistake.
Although it’s a bit harder, it’ll be fine after just a few days.”
When the others heard this, they became violent and wanted to beat Zhang Wanliang to death.
Zhang Wanliang was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and shouted that he was wronged.
"Sir, I didn't cook those dishes.
It was stolen from Ruyi Restaurant. Su Jinxiu must have added croton in the dish.
Yes, she just wants to frame her..."
Now, for the sake of self-protection.
He didn't care about anything else and confessed Li Manhong one by one.
Soon, Li Manhong was caught and taken to the county government office.
When they saw this battle, everyone was frightened.
Without saying anything, Magistrate Zhang took the twenty boards first.
After beating Li Manhong for half of his life, how could he dare to hide anything from her?
Like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, he explained things clearly.
"Yes, it's shopkeeper Zhang.
Let me steal it, he said, give me the money..."
