Tang Wanwan asked the shopkeeper and some of the waiters about the situation here, and she already had a rough idea. She felt that she was here to do research rather than to eat. The food hadn't been served yet, and she had already reported the situation here.
It was very touching.
"The first dish is jade and white jade braised tendon."
"The second course is fish maw cooked in vinegar."
...
“Shang Tang Shen Lao Ya Tang.”
I have to say that their serving speed is quite fast. On the surface, the color, fragrance and taste of these dishes are good.
"Everyone, let's eat. You're all hungry."
Gu Yunzhi didn't have much appetite today, he mainly came to eat with Tang Wanwan and the others.
Tang Wanwan started eating vegetables. Apart from the taste, there was almost no problem.
But problems arise when you eat fish and crow soup, and the problem is quite serious.
After Gu Yunzhi finished eating the fish, he slapped his chopsticks on the table and barely ate the rest of the food.
"Are you having a problem with your eating?" Gu Yunzhi's face turned dark.
Tang Wei and Gu Xinyu didn't eat it, but both said it tasted pretty good.
Tang Wanwan tasted some of each dish. After tasting it, she looked at Gu Yunzhi's face and said, "Do you want me to tell the truth?"
"If I don't let you tell the truth, why did I bring you here for dinner?"
Sure enough, Tang Wanwan guessed it right. He probably knew there was something wrong with the restaurant, so he brought them here to eat.
"Ah Wan, don't talk nonsense. I haven't found anything wrong." Tang Wei knew that he couldn't say this nonsense. If he said the wrong thing, how would others look at them? He was mainly afraid of his sister causing trouble.
Come on trouble.
What kind of place is Yonglin Pavilion? It is the golden sign of Tang Town. How can it be that she, a yellow-haired girl, makes irresponsible remarks about a century-old store?
"Brother, I know there are things you can say and things you can't say, but this matter affects the reputation of Yonglin Pavilion and it's not a small matter."
"Master Gu, you also know that my sister often speaks uncontrollably. If she says something inappropriate later, please don't take it to heart."
Gu Yunzhi couldn't help but glance at Tang Wei and said, "Do you think I am a narrow-minded person? You underestimate me too much."
"Okay, don't argue. I'm going to tell you now. If you don't believe me, you can compare. Generally speaking, these dishes taste very good. There is a problem with the ingredients."
"Ingredients problem? What did you taste?"
"Master, you have tasted it yourself, so why are you asking me? Could it be that you are giving me test questions?" Tang Wanwan slapped Gu Yun in return.
"The fish meat is not fresh. In fact, it was fish that was just killed today. It's just that something went wrong during the transportation of the fish, so these fish are all dead fish."
"Ah Wan, how did you taste it? Why can't I taste it?" Gu Xinyu was very curious and thought Tang Wanwan was really powerful. They were both about the same age and didn't go out much. Why were they so different?
She is so old. Tang Wanwan seems to know everything, but she seems to know nothing except putting on clothes and food and opening her mouth.
"The fresh fish meat is very chewy and has a bit of elasticity. The meat is delicate and tender, and it tastes good. And this kind of fish maw is cooked in vinegar, so it should be more crispy and tender, but I just ate it.
The meat was crispy, not tender, and didn’t feel bouncy.”
Gu Yunzhi nodded, acquiescing to her statement, "What else?"
"The heat of Laoya soup is not enough. According to the general cooking procedure, Laoya soup needs to be simmered for at least an hour. First cook it on a gentle fire, and then use a strong fire for the second half of an hour. When it is almost cooked, add salt. This salt is used
It's coarse salt, not fine salt, and it contains impurities. And the Codonopsis pilosula in it is not Codonopsis pilosula at all, but water ginseng."
As soon as Tang Wanwan finished speaking, she heard a sound of kneeling outside the door, and then a "bang bang bang" sound as her head hit the ground. Then there was the voice of the old master admitting his mistake and begging for mercy. "Young Pavilion Master, I know I was wrong.
, I am obsessed with it. I will never dare to do it again."
"You know you are wrong. Is this just your problem? Where do you put our Gu family and where do you put our Yonglin Pavilion restaurant?"
"I had no choice. I really couldn't raise the money, so I just thought I would do it once and never do it again."
"Yes, you only did it once. That's because we caught you today. Do you dare to pat your chest and promise that you haven't done it before?"
"No, absolutely not." Shopkeeper Wang burst into tears, crying with great emotion. Even his long black beard was stained with tears. People who didn't know better thought he had really been wronged.
"Then open your eyes and see what this is? You dare to pat your chest and say you will never do it again, who lent you the courage?" Gu Yunzhi took out several IOUs and threw them directly.
On Shopkeeper Wang's face, the IOU floated to the ground, and everyone saw it. There was a red handprint, the amount of silver owed, and a bloody handprint that was clearly Shopkeeper Wang's name.
When Shopkeeper Wang looked up, he almost fainted on the spot. What was thrown on the ground was his prodigal son's receipt from the gambling house. There were about seven or eight IOUs, more than ten taels, or dozens of taels.
It doesn’t matter. Adding these sums together, the big and small ones are almost five hundred taels. This amount is not something he can afford as a shopkeeper, so he has the idea of shoddy goods, and then sells them.
Report the false accounts above and get the difference.
This matter was done very discreetly. If Gu Yunzhi had not come forward personally, I am afraid that this rat shit would have directly brought down Yonglin Pavilion's business, and the restaurant's century-old reputation would also be damaged.
Seeing that he could no longer rely on him, shopkeeper Wang immediately fell to the ground and begged with tears: "Please help me, Young Pavilion Master. My old Wang family is the only one in the family. I don't want my son to lose his arm. As long as Young Pavilion Master lets me go."
Once, I was asked to pay off my debt, and I, Lao Wang, would do whatever it takes to be a cow or a horse."
Gu Yunzhi sneered: "You are a greedy cow, I can't afford it. Pack your bags immediately and go to the accounting office to settle an extra month's salary and get out. I don't want to see you again in the future."
At this time, Shopkeeper Wang was completely shocked. "Young Pavilion Master? Please, please show mercy. If you drive me out of here, you will let my whole family die!"
Seeing this, the others also begged for mercy. Gu Yunzhi still let the shopkeeper Wang go, and then announced to the store that all the meals for everyone here today would be free.
The guests were very surprised when they heard this, saying how could such a good thing happen in this world. They all came to thank Gu Yunzhi one after another and said some words of gratitude.
After all the guests left, Gu Yunzhi announced another decision, "Yonglin Pavilion Restaurant will be closed for rectification and will reopen in three days."
Everyone in the restaurant was stunned on the spot. The Yonglin Pavilion had never been closed for a day since its opening. Now it suddenly closed. People watching the excitement outside were speculating that something had happened to Yonglin Pavilion.
Seeing that things had developed to this point, Tang Wei couldn't help but look at his sister and said, "Look, I asked you not to talk nonsense."
"I didn't know my master was so strong." Wanwan also felt that she had caused a big disaster. She didn't expect Gu Yunzhi to attack with such decisiveness. Now she had offended shopkeeper Wang to death.
.Although she has a clear conscience, there is no guarantee that others will put this debt on her head. If the shopkeeper's son is forced to death by the debt collector, then he will not really use a knife to fight her
