"Everyone, please be quiet and let me explain to you one by one."
Jiang Ning stepped forward to calm everyone's emotions, and everyone became quiet.
"They said I can't cook, and they said I let my children cook, so let my children do the talking."
Lu Ping stood up and held back the sobs in his throat.
“It’s true that we cook our own meals at home, but my mother guides us when we cook. Even the meatloaf we make now, and the brown sugar glutinous rice cakes and rice balls we made before were all made by our mother under our guidance.”
Lu Yuan wiped her tears and stood up with a red face.
"Yes, I make all the rice balls sold in the store now. From the fillings to the finished product, I make them all myself."
Jiang Ning stood up and hid Lu Yuan behind her. Lu Yuan, who had spoken loudly just now, leaned on Jiang Ning's back and burst into tears.
I secretly vowed to myself that I must become stronger, I must not be bullied like this again, and I must protect my family.
"It's true that I never cooked in my mother's family, and it's true that my mother-in-law was worried about food and wouldn't let me cook. But every time my mother cooked, I was there to help, picking and chopping vegetables. My knife skills are I got it from practice at that time, and I’ll be able to do it after seeing too much cooking.”
"Let's talk about food. There was a barefoot doctor in Shangyang Village before. He traveled all over the country for many years and settled in Shangyang Village for a while. Similarly, you can also go to Shangyang Village to find out if there is such a barefoot doctor."
"When I was a kid, I used to listen to his lectures. He told me about delicacies from various places and how to cook them. I remembered them all. I didn't have the chance to cook them at home. After I got married, my husband went to join the army, and the family had no resources. I Then I went out with the children to set up a stall."
Jiang Ning saw the wonton stall owner from the crowd.
"The owner of that wonton stall can prove that we originally set up the stall next to his stall."
The owner of the wonton stall stood up to prove Jiang Ning.
"At first they came with poles and baskets. When they first set up the stall, these three children didn't dare to speak. It didn't take long for them to be able to handle it on their own."
Many people who bought rice balls and brown sugar glutinous rice cakes at the Jiangning Market stalls also came forward to prove it.
"At that time, the young man was standing in front and was still shy when talking to me. The young man stuttered when he spoke. Now he can settle accounts and greet customers in the shop."
Several old customers who often went to Jiang Ning's shop came forward to speak.
At this moment, Qi Benyan also arrived.
Jiang Ning is her tenant. If Jiang Ning's reputation is not good, it will affect the rental of his shop to a certain extent. Moreover, Jiang Ning and his wife are quite friendly, and Qi Benyan is also entrusted by his wife.
After Qi Benyan's death, Yu Zhiheng also came. Both of them were famous scholars in the county and everyone knew them.
"Everyone, I am Qi Benyan, the owner of Shopkeeper Jiang's shop. I also have something to say about the meat cakes at Shopkeeper Jiang's shop."
Qi Benyan clasped his hands slightly and bowed to everyone.
"Everyone, my wife is more than three months pregnant. She doesn't want to eat, let alone eat meat. She can't even smell meat. She only ate shopkeeper Jiang's meat pie but she didn't vomit. Instead, her appetite increased. I immediately I think there’s something wrong with this meatloaf.”
Everyone thought Qi Benyan was here to speak to Jiang Ning, but it turned out that it was more like digging a hole for Jiang Ning.
Everyone in the Lu family was also confused. They thought Qi Benyan was here to support Jiang Ning.
Lu Changgeng looked at Lu Yaozong with questioning eyes.
Lu Yaozong had a grimace on his face. He also wanted to get to know someone like Qi Benyan, but unfortunately not. He shook his head at his father.
"I went to Shopkeeper Jiang's shop at that time, and happened to meet Brother Yu there."
Yu Zhiheng stepped forward, clasped his hands slightly, and bowed to everyone.
Qi Benyan continued.
"At that time, Shopkeeper Jiang told me that he wanted to build another stove. I just wanted to find out why my wife was fine after eating Shopkeeper Jiang's meat pie, so I went to the kitchen with Brother Yu."
"Using the name Huozao, I walked around the kitchen of Shopkeeper Jiang's house and found nothing suspicious. In addition, the kitchen was clean, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and everything was covered when eating. "
"I immediately bought ten more meat cakes from shopkeeper Jiang. Shopkeeper Jiang heard that my wife had a loss of appetite and would vomit when she smelled meat. He also told me several ways to cook meat. Qi testified here that he used ginger After the shopkeeper’s method, my wife really didn’t vomit after eating other meat.”
After Qi Benyan finished speaking, Yu Zhiheng also came out to testify.
"Everyone, Yu was also there that day. He followed Brother Qi to the kitchen to see it, and then he also bought ten meatloaf."
Lu Changgeng and Lu Yaozong looked ugly. They really didn't expect anyone to support Jiang Ning, or two scholars who Lu Yaozong didn't dare to offend.
Wang and Li didn't understand, but seeing that Lu Changgeng and Lu Yaozong looked bad, they didn't dare to show off their bad behavior in the village.
After everyone listened to Qi Benyan and Yu Zhiheng's words, the balance in their hearts tilted toward Jiang Ning.
All kinds of meaningful glances looked at the four Lu family members in the crowd.
Lu Changgeng wanted to defend himself, but when Jiang Ning saw it, he stepped forward and fired his ultimate move.
"Everyone, no matter how much you say, it is not as true as seeing it. If you still have any questions, please come early tomorrow, Chenshi, I will take my children to set up a stall outside the shop."
"Light up the stove and set up a table. Cook and eat now. Please help me spread the word. Tomorrow, anyone who goes to the stall to sell cakes will give an egg. Then every step of the meat cake will be made public for everyone to see. The complete process allows everyone to sell and eat with confidence.”
