Although this cheap trick is neither new nor clever, it is extremely effective.
After all, no one dares to be careless about what they eat.
"Look to see if there is any in our food."
"Hey, what is this? Cabbage caterpillar?"
Another person pulled out a green worm in the dish.
This time it was like water dripping from a pan, and it started to boil.
Guests in the private rooms on the second and third floors heard the movement and stood at the railing to watch.
When Yu Yuan returned downstairs, everything was in complete chaos. The diners kept making noises and the shopkeeper had a hard time explaining what he said.
Jiang Shu in the back hall heard the waiter's report and hurried over but did not come forward. He just stood behind the crowd and watched.
She believed that Yu Yuan and the shopkeeper could handle any small matter.
"Whoever bothers me again will throw him out!" Yu Yuan shouted, and the hall fell silent for a while.
All the diners looked at Yu Yuan, half in fear and half in anger.
Yu Yuan glanced at them and said, "Tell them one by one, what's going on?"
A lean man walked out of the crowd, held a slender gray tail between his chopsticks, and complained angrily: "This is what I just ate in the stir-fried rabbit. Using rat meat as rabbit meat has turned Cuiyun Tower into a black shop!"
Yu Yuan stared at the tail and asked, "You said it was eaten from stir-fried diced rabbit, so it must be cooked after being stir-fried, right?"
Yu Yuan turned around and told the waiter: "Go get a knife and chop it open to see if it's raw or cooked."
The waiter quickly brought a knife, took the tail from the lean man's hand, put it on the table, and chopped it open in public.
As Yu Yuan expected, it was raw.
"Everyone, take a look. This tail is raw and has never been stir-fried." Yu Yuan looked sharply at the lean man.
The lean man felt guilty and argued forcefully: "Who knows when it fell into the dish? Maybe it fell in after it was fried."
"Besides, this doesn't prove that what you are using is not rat meat."
Yu Yuan sneered when he heard this: "You mean, after the cook fried the dishes and put them on the plate, he deliberately put a mouse tail into the dishes and waited for you to find out?"
is it possible?
What kind of serious illness does the cook have to do this?
"Cuiyunlou sold dozens of stir-fried rabbit dices today. How many mice do you need to catch to make enough? You are so capable. Go and catch a few mice and let me see."
"I, I..." the lean man faltered, speechless after being asked.
"Or is it that you brought this tail and put it into the dish when no one was paying attention, deliberately trying to harm Cuiyun Tower!"
Yu Yuan's voice suddenly became heavier, his face was gloomy, and the frightened, lean man swallowed his saliva in panic.
"I...I didn't." The lean man thought of something and pointed to the diners who ate cabbage caterpillars: "They also ate worms from the vegetables. It can't be a coincidence, right?"
Yu Yuan looked at the big man who had eaten the worm and asked disdainfully: "Tell me, what happened to your worm?"
"It's eaten from stir-fried green vegetables. You chop it up and let everyone see. This insect is very ripe." The big man was confident.
At that time, he was afraid that the bug would escape and be difficult to keep under control, so he scalded it to death with boiling water. He didn't want to make a mistake and it just happened to be a lie.
"How do you know it's ripe? Have you tasted it?" Yu Yuan questioned in reverse.
The big man was stunned and said disgustedly: "Who would eat this thing? I guess. It is motionless and has a stiff body. It must be cooked."
Yu Yuan sneered noncommittally, turned to the shopkeeper and said, "You handle it."
Cuiyun Tower does not support idlers, and it is impossible for him and Jiang Shu to keep an eye on it all the time. The shopkeeper must have the ability to act independently.
"Yes." The shopkeeper stepped forward and whispered to the waiter.
Under everyone's doubtful gazes, the shopkeeper said loudly: "It's already been a cold day for the past few days, and all kinds of cabbage bugs have been hiding to avoid the cold. It's not easy to catch a cabbage bug. I think this guest must have spent a lot of money." Kung Fu, right?”
"You are talking nonsense, what evidence is there?" The big man's heart thumped, and he asked with stern expression.
The shopkeeper took his time and waited until the waiter got the vegetable basket he wanted before he calmly spoke.
"These are the green vegetables that were delivered this morning that have not yet been picked and washed. They are still muddy. Dear guests, please come and look through them carefully to see if there are any insects in them."
Anyone who has any doubts should seriously go up to the vegetable basket and look through it.
But no matter how much they searched, they couldn't find a single insect.
"Hey, there really aren't any bugs."
"The shopkeeper is right. I have grown vegetables before. When the cold winter comes, the insects disappear. They will only come out to harm the crops when the weather gets warm next spring."
The big man was a little panicked, gritted his teeth and said, "This dish was brought out from the kitchen of Cuiyun Building. They must have shaken off all the bugs in advance."
This statement is exactly the same as the lean man's sophistry just now, and it is completely untenable.
Seeing that the matter was exposed, the lean man and his accomplices wanted to leave quietly while everyone was staring at the big man.
But as soon as they moved to the door, before they could step out with one foot, several elite nurses walked out and blocked the door.
At the railing on the third floor, Yu Zheng, who had witnessed the whole process, said to the middle-aged man beside him: "Master He, did you see and hear everything clearly?"
"Yes, yes." Mr. He quickly raised his hands and finally understood why King Jing suddenly invited him to dinner.
Yu Zheng looked downstairs, his voice as cold as frost: "In that case, what are you waiting for, Sir? Why don't you hurry up and arrest someone and go back for interrogation."
"Yes, I'll go now." Mr. He raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then quickly went downstairs and gave the order.
"Come here, arrest them and take them back to the Yamen for interrogation. If you dare to trap and frame Cuiyun Tower, you have eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage!"
The yamen, who put on regular clothes and pretended to be diners, immediately walked out of the crowd and arrested the big man, the lean man and their accomplices.
"Lord He, I encountered such bad luck on the first day of opening. You must do your best to investigate and clear Cuiyun Tower's name." Yu Yuan reminded coldly.
Mr. He cupped his hands and responded repeatedly: "Yes, I will definitely get to the bottom of this. I will punish you severely and give the prince an explanation."
Before leaving, Mr. He also said to the diners: "Everyone, please feel free to eat. I just ate it too. The food in Cuiyunlou is very clean and there is no problem."
Not only did he eat it, but King Jing and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also ate it. How could there be any problem?
Seeing the people who had the audacity to smear Cuiyun Tower, Mr. He was angry and annoyed.
A few thieves made him eat half of his meal and then go back to see how he would deal with them.
A farce was revealed. Although all the diners were relieved of their doubts, their mood for eating was greatly affected, and their favorable impression of Cuiyun Tower also declined.
Jiang Shu saw this and called Yu Yuan and the shopkeeper over to discuss countermeasures.
After a while, the shopkeeper announced that he would give each table a dish and a pot of hot wine as an apology.
Unexpected surprises and free things always make people excited. The diners gradually put away their unhappiness and started talking and laughing.
Yu Cheng, who was watching the whole process, looked at the Cuiyun Tower that was bustling again and said with appreciation: "Yu Yuan has finally found something serious to do. Uncle Wang should be relieved to know that."
Yu Zheng glanced at the proud Yu Yuan below, and said slowly: "Brother, the fun is over, let's go back and continue drinking."
"Well, ask Yu Yuan to come up and have a drink." Yu Cheng turned around and entered the private room.
When Yu Zheng followed in, he noticed a sharp gaze and glanced at it keenly.
Their eyes met across the sky, Fang Mingxu smiled and held his hands in greeting.
