That evening, Chu Qian received another call from Lao Cao.
"Xiao Qian, I have also seen the aquatic products stall you exposed today. The Market Management Bureau of this store will strengthen supervision. If they dare to sell dead goods in the future, their license will be revoked!"
"That's great!" Chu Qian smiled and said, "I will continue to pay attention to the problem of the seafood market, and I hope you can control it more."
"With supervision like you, we feel more at ease." Lao Cao praised.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Qian thought to herself, it’s another successful day!
She is determined to continue working hard so that all crooked vendors have nowhere to hide, so that consumers can truly enjoy a fair and just shopping environment.
This is also her original intention as an excellent anchor.
…
The next day, Chu Qian considered that there were many aspects in the aquatic industry worth cracking down on counterfeiting, so she decided to make secret visits to those seafood restaurants today. In order to disguise herself as a tourist, she needed a partner.
Chu Qian picked up her phone and dialed Xiao Li's number.
"Hey, Xiao Li, are you busy?" Chu Qian said straight to the point.
"Senior Chu Qian, I happen to be on duty in the bureau, what can I do?" Xiao Li's voice came from the microphone.
"It's like this. I'm going to make secret visits to some seafood restaurants to see if they use chilled seafood or other means to deceive consumers." Chu Qian explained: "In order to pretend to be an ordinary tourist, I need someone to accompany me. You have
Time?"
"No problem, senior!" Xiao Li readily agreed: "This is exactly my job. I will definitely go with you to find out those shady businessmen!"
"Great! I'm counting on you, Xiao Li." Chu Qian said happily.
"I'll pick you up soon, and let's go try all kinds of seafood restaurants together!" Xiao Li's energetic voice came.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Qian began to dress herself up, trying to look more like an out-of-town tourist.
After a while, Xiao Li knocked on Chu Qian's door.
"Senior, here I come!" Xiao Li also changed into casual clothes, looking completely different from how he usually looks at the inspection bureau.
"Xiao Li, you disguised yourself well!" Chu Qian said approvingly.
"That's right, I still have experience in this kind of thing." Xiao Li said proudly.
Chu Qian and Xiao Li soon took a taxi to a high-end seafood restaurant in the city center.
This restaurant occupies a large area. There are many luxury cars parked in front of the door. The facade is well designed, with tall stone lions on both sides holding a horizontal plaque with the name "Juhailou", making it look simple and elegant.
The two walked into the restaurant and saw that the interior decoration was even more magnificent, with nanmu carvings on the walls, fir fishbone inlays on the floor, and dazzling huge crystal chandeliers.
The space combination is well planned, yet still luxurious.
"Wow, the environment here is really nice!" Chu Qian exclaimed, looking around and picking up her phone to take photos and record from time to time.
Xiao Li also stretched his head and looked around: "Yes, the design alone is not simple. You won't know it until you look at it. You will be shocked when you look at it!"
At this time, the waiters were all wearing neat suits and vests. When they saw the two people entering, they immediately came forward to greet them.
"Two distinguished guests, welcome!" The head waiter said enthusiastically: "Is this your first time coming to our restaurant? Is there any dish I can recommend to you?"
"Ah, this is my first time here!" Chu Qian said with a smile: "What delicious food can you recommend?"
"The most famous thing about our restaurant is seafood!" the waiter said hurriedly: "We have Australian swimming lobster and New Zealand king crab, which can be cooked in various ways. I highly recommend our signature charred lobster,
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, great taste!”
"Okay, here comes a charred lobster!" Chu Qian said pretending to be grand.
"Thank you. Is there anything else you need?" The waiter already smiled.
"Is your seafood freshly cooked every day?" Chu Qian asked pretending to be casual.
"Yes, beauty, we use the freshest seafood." The waiter said with a smile.
"That's good. If I want to try your lobster, I'll kill it freshly." Chu Qian said.
"No problem, don't worry! We will definitely deliver the freshest lobster to your table!" The waiter nodded respectfully, and then served other menus.
As the dishes began to arrive, Chu Qian looked at the color and texture of the lobster meat, as if judging its freshness.
Xiao Li also picked up several other seafood and carefully checked whether the weights matched.
Then he said to Xiao Li: "Look, the eyes of this lobster are cloudy and lifeless, and the legs and limbs don't have much flexibility. It very much looks like it was frozen!"
Xiao Li also carefully checked the weight of several other dishes: "The quantities and prices of the dishes in this store are also very general. Although it seems that there is no problem with the prices for the time being, something feels wrong!"
Just when the two were about to feast, Chu Qian's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Xiao Li, I'm going to take a call. Please wait for me in the box." Chu Qian stood up and said.
"Okay senior, I'll wait for you here." Xiao Li nodded.
Chu Qian walked outside the box, checked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then quickly slipped into the stairs.
She walked quietly to the first floor, making sure that the waiter wasn't paying attention, and quietly walked around to the kitchen.
Chu Qian held her breath and quietly went to the kitchen. Sure enough, she saw a chef handling a freshly killed lobster, but upon closer inspection, the lobster was already somewhat lifeless.
The chef neatly made a small cut in the lobster tail, then took out a syringe and injected water into the lobster's belly!
"It's just as I expected!"
Chu Qian knew that it was definitely not a good thing for her to be suspicious, so that she could witness with her own eyes the process of the chef using chilled lobster to deceive consumers.
She quickly took out her mobile phone, turned on the hidden camera and secretly recorded the process.
The moment the chef finished handling the lobster and turned around, Chu Qian quickly hid herself, and then took the opportunity to quickly leave the kitchen.
She carefully returned to the box and pretended to have just hung up the phone and said to Xiao Li: "Let's go, something urgent happened. Let's come back another day."
The two quickly left the seafood restaurant.
"It's beyond my expectation!" Xiao Li said with some disappointment after getting in the car, "I thought I could catch something."
"Who said there was no gain?" Chu Qian smiled mysteriously and took out her mobile phone to show to Xiao Li: "I have already collected some information without anyone noticing!"
Xiao Li curiously stretched her head to take a look. Inside was a picture she took with a hidden camera - a kitchen worker was filling the lobster's belly with water!
"I have recorded the process of the workers filling the lobsters with water." Chu Qian shrugged, "This store uses chilled lobsters to deceive consumers!"
"Senior is so smart!" Xiao Li praised sincerely: "If you hadn't been suspicious and went in to check, we would have been deceived!"
