Chapter 25 This Fried Skewers Stall is Operating Illegal
Seeing the special vehicle with the urban management logo coming from the other end of the alley, the surrounding vendors were all confused.
Although there are no formal stalls on this street, it is a customary practice and the urban management has never been here.
So the vendors had no intention of moving, they just stopped what they were doing and watched their actions silently.
Four people got off the car and headed straight for Zhao Xiaojing's stall with a clear destination. They waved their hands to disperse the customers as soon as they arrived.
"Everyone, disperse! This fried skewers stall is operating illegally, everyone, disperse!"
"Illegal operation? What illegal operation?"
The parents looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to buy fried skewers properly, and encountered all kinds of problems every day.
"Illegal operation is illegal operation! What, you want to obstruct law enforcement? Do you want to obstruct law enforcement?!" The leader shouted fiercely while holding a law enforcement recorder, and waved it at the customers who were blocking the way in front.
Some children were frightened and hid behind their parents with tears in their eyes.
The surrounding vendors watched from afar, and even stopped setting up their stalls, coming over with a gloating look on their faces.
Ever since the fried skewers came here, all the business on this street has been almost taken over by her alone. Those selling porridge and desserts are still okay, but those selling other snacks are almost out of business!
Seeing Zhao Xiaojing in trouble, the vendors' eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Comrade, you said I was operating illegally, there must be a reason, right? Urban management law enforcement must also have factual basis." Zhao Xiaojing stood up and frowned as she looked at the arrogant man in front of her.
"If nothing else, the first thing you're doing is operating without a license! Selling any food requires paperwork, don't you know?"
"Then how do you know I don't have the necessary paperwork or a license? You come up here and dismiss my guests without asking any questions and convict me. Is this legitimate law enforcement?"
Zhao Xiaojing retorted with a cold face.
"Yeah, the Urban Management has its own procedures, right? Law enforcement isn't about making random convictions without any clear clues, right?"
"Exactly! Is this the proper procedure? You're acting arrogantly right out of the gate, using a body camera to bluff people?"
When several parents saw Zhao Xiaojing turn into combat mode again and let their children hide far away, they also stood up to argue.
"Someone reported that you are operating without a license! Do you have a food business license and a health certificate?!" The leading man raised his chin and asked in a vicious tone.
Zhao Xiaojing directly opened the storage box of the stall cart, took out two certificates from the small box, opened it, and spread it in front of the leading man.
"Do you have a business license?"
The man didn't look at the ID, rolled his eyes and asked again.
Zhao Xiaojing turned around and took out another certificate and spread it in front of him.
I don’t know what process the system went through, but it was done for her on the first day of setting up the stall.
Several vendors surrounding the crowd were shocked when they saw the certificate Zhao Xiaojing took out. They looked at each other guiltily, then continued to stretch their necks to look.
"...Do you have the chef's certificate and fire safety procedures?" The man was stunned for a moment and then continued to question.
"Excuse me, are you clear about the difference between setting up a street stall and running a restaurant? Do you know when and for what purposes these certificates are needed?! Why do I need a chef's license and fire safety permits for a street stall?"
As soon as the man said this, Zhao Xiaojing immediately realized that the person in front of her was deliberately looking for trouble. The parents also reacted and were very angry.
"Are you targeting me? Just ask around the streets and see which street vendors have fire safety procedures and chef certificates?"
"Forget the fire safety permits and chef's licenses. They don't even have the three certificates the boss just showed them! Why don't you check on these people?"
"Yeah, why don't you check them? Just check the fried skewers stall?"
The parents pointed directly at the vendors standing at the end of the crowd and questioned them loudly.
When several vendors heard this, they shrank their necks and tried to slip away immediately.
I can’t eat this melon anymore, it will get me into trouble soon!
"The one we received the report about was the fried skewers stall. The other stalls are not within our scope of investigation!" the leading man argued confidently.
Several vendors had already slipped away a few steps, but when they heard this, they stood back up with their heads held high and smug smiles on their faces.
"I'll ask you again, do you have your chef's certificate and fire safety permits?" Seeing that Zhao Xiaojing couldn't produce them, the man shouted again with a vicious smile.
"I'll ask you again, do you know the procedures required to set up a street stall? What's the difference between a street stall and a restaurant? Are you really a legitimate urban management officer?"
Zhao Xiaojing asked back in a resounding voice.
Seeing this, a few smart parents led their children to stand far away, leaving one to stand on the platform and start recording with his mobile phone.
The leading man's face turned grim, and the three men behind him who had not spoken since the beginning also panicked and looked at him.
"Since you don't have one, you're operating without a license! Stop talking nonsense to me, and break up everything! All the stalls and ingredients will be confiscated! Anyone who tries to stop you is obstructing law enforcement!"
The man waved his hands aggressively and gave orders.
"Closing the stall! And taking away the phone taking pictures over there and deleting the pictures!"
The three people behind stood up and were about to take action.
“Wait!”
“Wait!”
Two voices shouted at the same time, one was from Zhao Xiaojing, and the other was from Mr. Wen Zhiyi who had come from the crowd at some point in time.
Zhao Xiaojing was stunned and looked at the crowd. Seeing this, the parents also made way for the old man.
"Grandpa! I'm so sorry that you're here..." Zhao Xiaojing looked at Wen Zhiyi awkwardly, not knowing what to say. She didn't expect that the old man would see such a scene as soon as he arrived.
"Who allowed you to just take over other people's stalls like this? Is this how Huang Laowu led you?!"
Wen Zhiyi waved at Zhao Xiaojing, then turned around and questioned a group of urban management officers, changing his friendly attitude from yesterday, and his tone became stern.
"What are Huang Laowu and Hei Laowu? Do you want to obstruct law enforcement?!" The leading man saw that the person who spoke was an inconspicuous old man, and put another hat on him.
"Huang Quanan! You don't even know Huang Laowu?" Wen Zhiyi raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a strange expression.
"Who are you? You can talk to me about anything, even cats and dogs, and I have to know them all?" The leading man looked disdainful.
Wen Zhiyi immediately raised the speaker on his cell phone:
"Xiao Huang, did you hear everything?" Wen Zhiyi said into the phone.
"I heard you. I'm sorry, old man. I'm sorry. I'll be right there."
The phone was hung up.
"Huang Quanan, the cats and dogs you are talking about are the captain of the administrative law enforcement brigade of the Yangcheng City Urban Management Bureau! You don't even know him, what kind of urban management are you? Where are you from?!" Wen Zhiyi shouted.
The leading man was shocked and visibly panicked. He looked at the three people behind him, turned around and wanted to run.
Zhao Xiaojing, who was standing at the front, reacted quickly and tripped him.
"Stop them!" The leading man was tripped by Zhao Xiaojing. Li Donglai shouted anxiously, and the parents rushed forward and surrounded them.
