Shen Yunzhao had two weeks of continuous nightmares. In her dreams, her family members either fell ill, went missing, died, or suffered career setbacks. Every single one of them was unlucky, with n...
"Boss Shen, give me a pound of red mushrooms!"
Shen Yunzhao was busy. When he heard a familiar voice, he looked up and saw a middle-aged woman in her 40s pushing a wheelchair with a white-haired old lady sitting in the wheelchair.
Shen Yunzhao greeted, "Auntie Sun, Grandma Sun, you are here!"
Shen Yunzhao was deeply impressed by the mother and daughter. On the first day she set up the stall, Aunt Sun pushed Grandma Sun to patronize her business. After that, Aunt Sun would come every time she set up the stall.
Aunt Sun pointed to the bag hanging on the wheelchair and said with a smile, "I just went to the market to buy some vegetables. I'm late."
Shen Yunzhao also smiled and replied, "It's not too late, it's only a little after 8 o'clock. Would you like some more chicken mushrooms?"
"Do you have chicken mushrooms? They're the best for making soup. Give me two pounds!"
After packing the red mushrooms and chicken mushrooms, there were not many customers at this time, so Shen Yunzhao said, "Grandma Sun, you look much better today!"
"Really?" It was Aunt Sun who spoke. "Boss Shen, tell me what's better about my mother's complexion."
Shen Yunzhao was stunned. She was just being polite, but she didn't expect Aunt Sun to take it seriously.
Now, she had to observe Grandma Sun carefully.
As soon as she saw it, she noticed the difference.
"I remember when I first met Grandma Sun, her face was dark, without a trace of red. Now her face is still a little dark, but not as obvious, and her face is a little red."
"Right, right, right!" Aunt Sun was very happy. "Boss Shen, you're right! I've met several people these past few days, and they all said that my mother looks much better and more energetic."
"My mother has a better appetite now. She used to only eat half a bowl, but now she can eat more than half a bowl."
"Is this true?" Uncle Fan, who had just finished selling vegetables, interrupted and joined the conversation.
"Xiao Sun, what has your mother eaten recently? Why has she changed so much?"
"I didn't eat anything! Just a normal meal, no different from usual."
Shen Yunzhao and Cheng Shaoyuan looked at each other, and the same thought came to their minds at the same time: Could it be that Grandma Sun got better after eating the red mushrooms they sold?
Impossible!
Although red mushrooms have the effect of treating cancer, that is just a boast made by the merchants selling red mushrooms. Whether it can cure cancer is still questionable.
However, after they ate the mushrooms and drank the water in the space, their myopia decreased, their sleep quality improved, and their health seemed to be better.
If Grandma Sun eats red mushrooms for every meal, it’s not impossible for her health to improve, right?
This idea is too far-fetched, but it is really possible!
Cheng Shaoyuan suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said, "It must be because Grandma Sun eats and drinks well, and Aunt Sun and you take good care of her. She is in a good mood, so her health will naturally improve."
Mr. Fan also said, "I heard about an old man in Ximen who had the same problem. He had terminal cancer, and his family thought he was incurable, so they took him home. They provided him with good food and drink. The old man was very kind-hearted and would stroll around every day when he had nothing to do. He was in a good mood. After a few years, his cancer was cured."
"I've also heard of a case..."
Several people were chatting about the news they had heard. As for whether the news was accurate or not, no one tried to verify it, and there was no way to verify it.
Aunt Sun and Grandma Sun listened with more and more smiles on their faces, and left happily.
After the two left, Shen Yunzhao and Cheng Shaoyuan became busy again.
"Hey, red mushroom seller, why are you selling fake red mushrooms?"
A young man with dyed yellow hair, wearing loafers and tight pants, holding a plastic bag in his hand, stood in front of the stall and asked loudly.
Shen Yunzhao gave the man a strange look, "What fake red mushroom?"
Huang Mao threw the plastic bag fiercely in front of Shen Yunzhao, "You unscrupulous profiteers! Are you trying to kill people by selling fake red mushrooms? These red mushrooms are poisonous, and you dare to sell them!"
"We never sold fake russulas! We..."
"You're still saying no? This is the fake red mushroom you sold me!"
It was a very lively time, and Huangmao's voice was loud, so soon many people gathered around and pointed at the stall.
Seeing that the number of people was increasing, Huangmao's eyes flashed with pride and his voice became louder.
"Everyone, come and see! These two are so desperate to make money that they're selling fake red mushrooms! They're poisonous! They're trying to poison us all!"
Seeing that Huangmao's words were becoming more and more outrageous, Shen Yunzhao wanted to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Cheng Shaoyuan.
"I'll deal with this guy, so don't make a sound."
After Cheng Shaoyuan gave the order, he walked forward with a normal expression and a smile on his face.
"Hey little brother, can I take a look at this red mushroom?"
The yellow-haired man snorted, "Look, look a few more times! You conscienceless rubbish, selling poisonous red mushrooms, will be struck by lightning from heaven..."
Cheng Shaoyuan ignored Huangmao's shouting and walked forward to pick up the plastic bag.
The bag containing the red mushrooms is a very ordinary red plastic bag, which contains half a bag of red mushrooms.
At first glance, it looks no different from the edible red mushroom, but a closer look reveals some differences.
Some of these red mushrooms have no taste, while some have a pungent smell. If you touch them gently, the skin can be easily peeled off.
These are poisonous red mushrooms that are very easy to identify.
Cheng Shaoyuan put the bag back and said, "I didn't buy these red mushrooms here..."
"Bah! You bastard, you took my money and now you're denying it! A profiteer!"
Ignoring Huangmao's angry scolding, Cheng Shaoyuan was very calm, "Are you sure these red mushrooms were really bought from me?"
"Of course! Besides yours, who else sells red mushrooms in this market?"
At this time, the crowd of onlookers started talking.
"We really are the only place that sells red mushrooms."
"Really? There's nothing else like it. The yellow-haired red mushroom was probably bought here!"
"It's horrible! Not only is it expensive, but it's actually poisonous!"
"Are these two really that evil? Do they want to poison us?"
Listening to everyone's discussions, Huangmao became even more proud.
"Humph! I ate your red mushrooms and had vomiting and diarrhea, and was hospitalized for several days! You must give me an explanation!"
Cheng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "Little brother, let me ask you again, are you sure you bought all these red mushrooms from me?"
"Are you deaf?" Huangmao became impatient upon hearing this and shouted angrily, "I bought it from you! It's no use denying it! I'm telling you, this matter isn't over today! You must give me an explanation!"
"Oh, then what explanation do you want?" Cheng Shaoyuan responded with a sneer.
"Pay me money!" Huangmao's mind raced as he said, "First, you must return all the money I spent on the red mushrooms! I bought 10 jin of red mushrooms, 180 yuan per jin, so you must compensate me 1,800 yuan.
Second, you have to reimburse me for the hospitalization expenses caused by me eating poisonous red mushrooms. I stayed in the hospital for three days and the total cost was 30,000 yuan.
Third, my mental damages, lost wages, subsequent medical expenses, etc. are 10,000 yuan, the total is."
