I saw the numbers on the scale jumping, and soon settled on... 2200 grams!
According to the conversion, 5 pounds is equal to 2500 grams, which means that there is a full 300 grams less! That is 6 taels!
"Look, isn't it missing?" Chu Qian raised the scale and said to the boss: "The electronic scale in your store has such a serious error!"
"unacceptable!"
"fraud!"
"Publish the name of this store!"
"Must report!"
The barrage was already boiling.
The boss's face was ashen and he was speechless.
Chu Qian said to her boss seriously: "Boss, it's wrong for you to blatantly defraud consumers like this!"
"I have evidence. Now you can either help me make up for the missing meat or refund the overcharged money, otherwise I will publicly expose your store name and let everyone know that you are using a questionable scale to deceive people!"
A trace of viciousness flashed across the boss's face, but he was quickly calmed down by Chu Qian's sharp eyes. He could only bow and say, "I'm sorry, I'll refund your money right now."
After saying this, the boss sadly took out the difference from the cash register and returned it to Chu Qian.
"Remember, only by operating honestly can you win customers." Chu Qian taught.
The boss blushed and nodded.
At this time, the barrage was already shouting victory:
"Awesome sister!"
“Expose the liar boss!”
"Do justice for heaven!"
Chu Qian nodded with satisfaction, picked up the meat and left the problematic shop.
This incident immediately sparked heated discussion on the Internet.
Chu Qian’s just report quickly received tens of thousands of likes and countless messages of support.
"Oh my god, this anchor is so awesome!"
"She is so brave for daring to expose the night market owner's shady story!"
"Support her to continue to expose more unhealthy trends!"
As Chu Qian walked, she looked at the barrage that flooded the live broadcast room.
She said with a smile: "Everyone is very dissatisfied with the store that just used a defective scale to deceive consumers, right?"
Countless replies immediately appeared in the barrage:
"How abominable!"
"Why are there so many liars in this society!"
"We ordinary people are so wronged!"
"This kind of thing seems to have happened a long time ago, but no one took care of it!"
Seeing the reaction of the fans, Chu Qian nodded and said seriously: "Yes, this kind of tricking consumers with questions has actually appeared in night markets and vegetable markets for a long time. However, the relevant departments have not done a good job.
Supervision and punishment have led to repeated prohibitions of this kind of behavior."
"Yeah, sister is right!"
"We ordinary people really need live broadcast supervisors like my sister!"
"That's right, only through exposure can this behavior be stopped!"
Fans expressed their approval.
When Chu Qian saw this, an idea suddenly flashed in her eyes.
She said sternly to everyone: "In that case, tonight I will expose another type of people who often use small scales to defraud consumers!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"Expose them!"
"Support sister!"
The fans' desire to win has been completely aroused.
At this time, a fan suddenly spoke: "I know! The most ruthless ones are the mobile vendors who use small trucks to sell fruits and vegetables on the roadside! Those scales are not reliable!"
"Yeah!"
“So true!”
"It just so happens that there are a lot of these little trucks on the roadside tonight!"
"Expose them!"
A consensus was immediately reached in the barrage.
Chu Qian looked at the barrage that swept the screen, smiled and nodded: "You are right! It seems that our goal tonight is very clear - to expose the profiteers of small trucks on the roadside!"
"Expose them!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Support sister!"
"We must give them nowhere to hide!"
Fans are already excited for the next exposure.
Chu Qian also got excited. She waved her hand and said to the camera with a smile: "Then we will officially start to expose the scammers and profiteers in the mobile van tonight!"
"Go! Go! Go!"
"expect!"
The barrage immediately cheered and expressed their support for the next action!
Chu Qian accepted the fan's suggestion and soon discovered a mobile fruit stall in a small alley. Parked on the side of the road was a minivan with the back door open and many fresh durians neatly placed inside.
There was a signboard next to the truck that read "Fresh Durian, Special Price." Many passers-by gathered around the truck to buy fruits.
Chu Qian walked over and found that the boss was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was enthusiastically introducing products to customers.
"This batch of durians was just picked from the orchard this morning. They are guaranteed to be fresh. I have a good relationship with the orchard owner and the wholesale price I got is cheap, so it is cheap to sell it to everyone!"
The boss said, picking up a durian and weighing it to the aunt next to him: "Auntie, look, this is more than 1 catty. I'll give you 20 yuan per catty. Those fruit shops sell it for 25 yuan per catty!"
Is it affordable enough here?”
The aunt nodded happily and paid, praising the boss for his sincerity.
Business seemed to be booming, but Chu Qian was keenly aware of something strange.
Chu Qian walked quietly to the truck, pretending to be a passerby who happened to be passing by, looking at the fruits on the truck casually, and then asked: "Boss, how much does a pound of durian here cost?"
The owner of the mobile fruit stall came over after hearing the news, looked Chu Qian up and down, and said with a smile: "Beauty, you are really good at picking. My batch of durians was just picked from the farmer today. They are very fresh. The market price is 22 per pound.
"Looking at how beautiful you are, let me give you 20 pounds!"
"20 a pound?" Chu Qian raised her eyebrows: "Why are you so cheap?"
The boss laughed and said: "I have a good relationship with the farmer and the supply is direct, so the price will be cheaper and the quality is definitely guaranteed."
Chu Qian nodded, and then asked: "Help me choose two weighing around 5 pounds. Are the scales you have here accurate?"
The boss immediately said confidently: "Our scales are calibrated every day and are absolutely accurate, so don't worry!"
"Okay, let's take two." Chu Qian said.
The boss skillfully weighed it on the electronic scale, and then said: "10 pounds, 200 yuan."
Chu Qian pretended to be counting money, but actually secretly turned on the live broadcast function of the small scale she was carrying so that fans could also see the scale reading.
The small scale quickly showed... 4500 grams!
"Look, it's 500 grams less! That's a full 1 pound less!" Chu Qian immediately pointed out: "Boss, there must be something wrong with your scale!"
The boss's face suddenly turned red, and he hesitated and said, "This...maybe...is a bit wrong."
"Error?" Chu Qian sneered: "You call it an error if it's 500 grams less? It's obviously a deliberate underweighting!"
The boss forced a smile and explained: "Maybe I got it wrong, would you like me to weigh it again?"
"I don't agree!" Chu Qian said categorically: "I already have evidence, you must give us an explanation!"
