Xu Kang and Xu Le finally got to eat the candied hawthorns they had been longing for, watched the acrobatic performance, and each bought a new set of clothes.

Although there were a few minor hiccups along the way, the trip to the market was still quite successful.

Around 7 p.m., Xu An had just finished bathing Grandma Xu and was about to bathe Xu Kang and Xu Le when the roar of a motorcycle engine came from outside the yard, followed by a knock on their gate.

"Um, ah, I'm the law enforcement officer who came to collect samples yesterday." The person outside the door wanted to call out to Xu An, but didn't know Xu An's name. After stammering for a while, he finally remembered to reveal his identity.

Xu An's first reaction upon hearing this was that the results of the afternoon's sampling had come out. He hadn't expected that the results of this test would be sent door-to-door to notify everyone, which was truly rare.

After wiping my hands, I went over and opened the courtyard gate.

Unlike in the afternoon, the young law enforcement officer in front of me was actually wearing a cool rider's uniform and standing outside the gate, carrying two packages, one large and one small.

Upon seeing Xu An come out, he handed him the large package, saying, "This is for you."

For me?

Upon opening the bag, I found several sets of clothes neatly arranged inside, along with some children's picture books and toys.

Xu An looked at the young law enforcement officer with some confusion: "What's this?"

Cough cough.

The young law enforcement officer coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

“These are all my unused clothes. I have to wear a uniform to work, so I don’t have many opportunities to wear them out. They’ve just been sitting in my closet. This afternoon, I saw that the clothes you were wearing were patched up, so I thought I’d bring them to you.”

At this point, seemingly realizing that his actions had been somewhat rash, he quickly tried to justify himself, saying, "If you don't like it, you don't have to force yourself to accept it."

Xu An didn't mind, he was just a little surprised.

They were just strangers who had met once, yet they noticed his predicament and offered him clean clothes. This person was exceptionally kind.

"I really like the clothes, thank you." Xu An accepted the clothes without hesitation and thanked him.

Seeing this, the young law enforcement officer's embarrassment disappeared, replaced by a blush.

“My sister saw me packing my clothes. She heard that there was a simply dressed young girl here, so she packed some of her own unused clothes for me.”

"Okay, then I'll pass it on to Liang Dani for you." Xu An couldn't help but laugh at his embarrassed look and reached out to take the small bag of clothes.

Seeing that Xu An had taken both bags of clothes, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I still don't know your name. My name is Lin Xuyang. What's your name?"

"Xu An".

"Okay, I'll come visit you again next time I have time."

After saying that, he put on his helmet, got on his motorcycle, twisted the throttle, and sped away like an arrow.

Xu An took a look at the clothes inside. They were not only folded very neatly, but also very clean. Some of the clothes even still had tags on them.

This food inspection was not only due to food poisoning, but also involved illegal activities such as selling expired food.

Therefore, the operation was very swift. All samples were collected by 3 p.m. and sent to the laboratory for testing by 4 p.m. By 10:30 p.m., all the sample test results were available.

Through on-site investigation and inspection results, it was confirmed that a total of 21 shops in Haishi were involved with expired food.

Of these 21 shops, one is a factory canteen and three are city chain fast food restaurants.

This result is nothing short of shocking.

These three fast food chains are the first choice for many office workers when they eat out, and many of them have eaten at these restaurants.

The thought of having eaten dishes made from food that had expired for six months to three years or more caused a wave of discomfort to rise in everyone's stomachs.

At 11 p.m., Wang Qiang finished having a late-night snack with his friends and staggered towards the construction site, slightly drunk.

As I walked, I suddenly realized something was wrong. Why was the cafeteria still brightly lit and packed with people so late?

Driven by his human nature to love joining in the fun, he walked toward the cafeteria. As he got closer, he gradually heard roars coming from inside the cafeteria.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! All our ingredients are sourced from legitimate wholesale markets, and we have receipts for every single item. How could they be expired? Absolutely impossible! You're slandering us!" Sister Wang shouted, her voice filled with anguish.

"Receipts? You mean these?" The middle-aged man in the lead took several organized documents from the young adjutant and handed them to Sister Wang.

Sister Wang stopped howling, stared intently at the documents in front of her, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, doesn't it all say that? It's a legitimate company, a safe and reliable food processing company, not some shady or unscrupulous company!"

The middle-aged man nodded, and the young adjutant took out another leaflet and handed it to Sister Wang.

"Anxin Food Processing Company, frozen chicken wings are ten yuan a pound, frozen chicken legs are three yuan a pound..." Sister Wang's voice suddenly trembled: "How can this be? How can it be so cheap? Comrades, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

No one answered her. The young adjutant then took out another transparent resealable bag containing a food packaging bag. The production date and expiration date were clearly visible in the center of the bag.

“Production date: February 7, 2009, shelf life: twelve months… Impossible, absolutely impossible!” Sister Wang once again entered a hysterical state: “This is impossible, I give the purchasing department enough money every day, enough, how could this be!”
