During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
In the past, drinking a little alcohol was actually nothing.
But since Ye Qingshan took over the Yulin Army, the requirements have become stricter.
If you are caught drinking while on duty, you will definitely be fired.
Now, not only is the work in the Yulin Army easier, but they also earn more than before. Anyone with a bit of common sense would not want to leave at this time.
Soon, the cooked dumplings were served on the table, and several people immediately began to eat them voraciously.
"Yes, that's the smell."
"After I have a few days off, I will definitely bring my wife here to try it and see if I am being unreasonable or if her cooking is really bad..."
"Then you better be careful. If your sister-in-law hits you in the store, I don't know how you'll be able to get out of this situation."
A few people ate most of the dumplings first, and then gradually slowed down, chatting in low voices while eating.
Ye Laosi was not concentrating on his meal. He was always on guard against the possibility that the neighbors would come over to cause trouble.
At this time, there were more and more customers in the store, and Boss Ye and Sister Ye were getting nervous.
They had analyzed it secretly before and all thought that the Lu family would choose to take action at noon when there were the most people around.
Sure enough, after the store was finally full of people, two people, one old and one young, suddenly walked in from outside the door.
Both of them were dressed in tattered clothes, and the young man was supporting the old man who was staggering.
As soon as the two of them stepped over the threshold and walked into the store, the old man plopped down on the ground in the middle.
Yan Fei was startled and hurried forward to help, but all the guests around were looking over here.
"Sir, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Or are you just too hungry? How about I go to the kitchen and get some dumplings to try?"
Yan Fei thought the old man and the young man were beggars, and was about to take some food and send them away as usual, but he heard the old man say in a hoarse voice: "I dare not eat the dumplings in your store. Your dumplings are made with dead rat meat!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the store.
The guests put down their chopsticks at the same time.
Although it was impossible to tell whether what the old man said was true or not, the guests inevitably lost their appetite when they heard such words while eating dumplings.
When Yan Fei heard the words "dead rat meat", he immediately understood the origins of the old man and the young boy. They must have been invited by Mrs. Lu next door to cause trouble.
Boss Ye had explained this to him before, so he was not panicking at this moment.
"You are so rude, old man. My shop owner is very kind and generous to those who come to beg.
"I already told you I'd get you some dumplings. If you don't like them, fine. But why are you still spitting blood at me?"
When the guests around heard Yan Fei speak calmly and without any sign of fear, they immediately gained more confidence in the dumpling restaurant.
Even so, except for Ye Laosi's table, no one at other tables dared to pick up their chopsticks.
At this time, Mrs. Ye heard the news and rushed over from the kitchen.
"Old man, do you have any evidence that our store uses dead rats as dumpling fillings?
"You can't slander someone in broad daylight without any evidence!"
The old man didn't say anything when he heard this, but the young man who had been supporting him suddenly spoke.
“This morning, my grandfather brought me here to eat dumplings from Youji.
"We saved money for many days before we finally had enough to order some dumplings.
“After the two of us finished eating, there were still two dumplings left.
"I happily brought it home for my dad to eat, but who knew that his face changed as soon as he ate it.
“My father was a soldier before, but unfortunately he injured his leg and became a disabled person.
"But when he was in the army, he went through all kinds of hardships.
“Forget rat meat. When people are really hungry, they will even eat insects one by one with great crunch.
"So as soon as my dad took a bite of the dumplings, his face changed drastically and he asked us where we bought them from."
The boy spoke very clearly and coherently.
The customers in the store felt a chill on their backs and their hair stood on end after hearing what he said.
Some people couldn't stand it and just got up and left without eating.
But most people still chose to stay and watch the fun.
"I've eaten this several times during my travels. It's clearly pork. How could it be dead rat meat?" Some guests couldn't help but speak out.
He may not really trust Mrs. Ye, but he just doesn't want to believe that there might be a dead rat in the dumplings he eats.
Mrs. Ye asked, "If you found something wrong with what you ate this morning, why did you come to us now?"
This sentence hit the point, and the guests looked at the grandfather and grandson with suspicion.
“My family lives far away, and my grandfather and I have to work to earn money.
“So we didn’t give the dumplings to my dad until we finished work and returned home.
"My dad noticed something was not right, so we came looking for you right away."
"Without any evidence, you just made up a story and said that my family used dead rat meat. Isn't that too unconvincing?
"Do you think the customers in our store are fools?
"Could it be that someone is jealous of our business and sent you two here?"
The grandfather and grandson were obviously well prepared, and Mrs. Ye's words hit the mark exactly what they wanted.
"Indeed, words are not enough, I wonder if your family would dare to let us go to the kitchen to take a look?
"If I found dead rat meat in your kitchen, there would be nothing to say!"
"What if we can't find it?" asked Mrs. Ye.
