Chapter 190: Storm Someone wants to destroy Haiyu brand
Some people have a desire to venture out and can't wait to move to Beijing with their side job group to see the outside world.
Some people are unwilling to leave their hometowns, thinking that life is pretty good now and just want to stay in the village and live a stable life.
However, the two sides have reached a consensus in some aspects.
Whether it is the factory in Jing City or the factory in Haiyu Village, they will eventually move towards mechanization.
If they do not continue to learn and stick to their old ways, then they will not be competitive anywhere and will not be able to reap the benefits of Shanghai Yucun's development.
As a result, the villagers' enthusiasm for learning increased, and they even began to ask questions actively, making the evening study sessions much more lively.
When everything was going in a good direction, small disturbances occurred one after another in various sideline groups.
The first to get into trouble was the fruit and vegetable team. The vegetables in a certain vegetable field suddenly all rotted overnight. The stench spread for miles, disrupting their supply plan and almost failing to meet the needs of the state-owned restaurant.
Next is the food stall. Although they have checked the ingredients before setting up the stall, sometimes they still find that the ingredients have gone bad when cooking the noodles. Fortunately, this situation is discovered before the noodles are served, and they just throw them away and make them again.
The worst case was that more than half of the food on the long table was contaminated, and they almost couldn't continue cooking. Fortunately, the new person in charge immediately sent people to the state-owned restaurant to intercept the fishing team, so that fresh food could be obtained in time.
Even the surimi product team, which is usually the most stable, has had cases where bones were found in the fish balls.
The most difficult problem was with the non-staple food processing group. Strange noises appeared in the surrounding counties and districts. People from all over the country spread the word that eating Haiyu brand canned food caused health problems, but the real victims never showed up.
Everything seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest and exploded overnight. Yu Zhile, Zhang Wenxin and Yu Chuyue all sensed something unusual.
They immediately called a general meeting and asked everyone to recall the strange phenomena before and after the accident.
Everyone thought hard but couldn't think of anything wrong.
After a few days, the disturbances in other groups subsided, but the situation in the food stalls and non-staple food processing groups continued and tended to escalate.
The operation of the food group had to be temporarily suspended, but fortunately they never put a tight schedule. A few days of suspension would not affect their delivery time.
It was another big fair. Yu Zhile, his two companions and Chen Zhao started preparing ingredients at the food stall and stayed by the side the whole time, but they did not notice anything wrong.
At around seven or eight in the morning, they came to the market together and called Yu Haizong and Yu Yang. Yu Qi volunteered to join in the fun.
As usual, their stall was just set up and customers visiting the fair quickly began to gather from all directions and crowded in front of the stove to order food.
Yu Zhile had sharp eyes and saw two shifty-looking men quietly approaching the long table where the ingredients were placed, so he winked at Yu Haizong and his son.
The father and son were quick to act and clamped their hands before they could do anything bad. The two were used to hard labor and their hands were very strong, making them scream in pain.
The chaos here attracted everyone's attention. The two thieves shouted: "They use bad ingredients, they are all smelly, they are making dirty money."
Everyone's faces froze and they looked hesitant, not knowing whether they should believe them.
Yu Zhile sneered twice, told the people at the stall to pour all the ingredients on the table into the slop bucket, and asked them to put fresh ingredients on the table.
The vegetables were crisp and tender, still covered with dew, while the shrimps were active and the shellfish opened their shells to breathe.
The freshness of the new ingredients was visible to the naked eye, and the guests finally felt reassured.
Yu Zhile asked Yu Haizong and Yu Yang to take the two to the police station. She wanted to go with them. But she glanced at the surrounding stalls and found something wrong.
So, she asked Zhang Wenxin to go to the police station, asked Yu Chuyue to go to the commune to find Secretary Liu, and finally instructed Yu Qi to look for people in the places where Du Sheng's subordinates often went.
The business of the stall was going on as normal until the busiest time of the fair, when the few people who were secretly targeted by Yu Zhile slowly approached the stall.
"Wow." A pale-faced man suddenly began to vomit.
The people around screamed and jumped away, fearing that they would be stained by anything dirty.
Another person pulled out an empty bottle of Haiyu brand canned food and shouted, "Someone give me some sense! I am from Liuzhen. Yesterday I bought a can of canned food produced by Haiyu Village in Haidong Town at the supply and marketing cooperative. I vomited and had diarrhea in the middle of the night and lost my life."
He spoke like he was singing an opera, and soon attracted the attention of the people around him. Everyone slowly gathered around to watch the fun.
At this time, another person rushed out of the crowd, slammed the glass bottle onto the table of the stall, and loudly accused: "I am from Wu County and I am here to seek revenge on you! You black-hearted guys actually sold spoiled things and caused my wife to have a miscarriage. You must pay for my life. Those are my five-month-old twin sons! They are gone just like that!"
The onlookers were in an uproar.
Everything was within Zhile's expectations. She did not panic, but slowly pointed at another person in the crowd and asked, "Sir, where are you from? You are carrying a bottle of our Haiyu brand canned food with you. Do you have any grievances to redress?"
Everyone present looked in the direction her finger pointed and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly.
The man suddenly became the focus of the crowd. He was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly changed his expression and hurriedly threw the glass jar to the ground.
He didn't throw it to the designated place, and the glass jar was strong and didn't break. Instead, it rolled to Yu Zhile's feet.
The whole audience was silent. After watching the glass jar rolling, they turned their attention back to the man's face.
The man frowned and stammered, "I, I am from Yamagata. I, I pity, pity my 78-year-old father. He just had a cough, a cough, and wanted to eat something good to replenish his body. Who, who knew that he ate you——"
"He ate our Haiyu brand canned food and died of coughing up blood a few days ago." Yu Zhile calmly continued his conversation.
The man's eyes widened and he pinched his palms hard, squeezing out a few tears.
The last person tried to slip away quietly, but Yu Zhile did not let him go. He strode up behind him and threw him over his shoulder with a backhand throw.
He made a sound of pain, and the same glass jar rolled from his arms to everyone's eyes. This jar was slightly different, the seafood inside was still full, but the color was not quite right.
"My dear guest, I see that you look rosy-cheeked, so you probably didn't eat anything that made you sick. What's your problem?" Yu Zhile crossed his arms and guessed expressionlessly, "You're from Hai County? You haven't even started eating yet, but you smell something bad when you open the box?"
The man's face turned red and he couldn't utter a word.
Yu Zhile couldn't help but applaud and said, "This is really a good show. Five people from different places came to settle accounts with us on the same day without any discussion. Moreover, they sat in other stalls until noon and only came out to attack us when the crowds were the most."
"Yeah, that's right. I saw this guy called Dead Dad this morning when I came to eat noodles. He was staring at the noodle stall stealthily." A man wearing work clothes from a nearby shipyard came out to speak.
Others began to point out others, and they talked to each other, even piecing together their movement paths at the market that morning.
Several people refused to admit it, shouting that they had recognized the wrong person, and demanded that Haiyu Village pay compensation.
Things have come to this point, and the people around them understand that they are just here to extort money, and they wish they could drown these little hooligans with a spit.
At this time, Ning Tan, Liu Ying and Du Sheng's men all arrived. Except for the latter who was alone, the other two brought people with them.
Seeing that the protagonists were all present, Yu Zhile asked Chen Zhao to pick up all the bottles and said loudly: "I believe everyone has understood their purpose. Now I want to expose their lies. Are there any comrades willing to come out as witnesses?"
As soon as she finished speaking, many people onlookers raised their hands enthusiastically.
"Thank you all." She thanked them and turned to look at Liu Ying, "Then I would like to trouble Secretary Liu and Minister Ning to help select five literate witnesses."
Some people quietly put down their hands, but there were already many people holding up their hands.
Liu Ying could vaguely guess her way of clarifying the matter. Ning Tan didn't understand, but he randomly pointed at three people as she asked.
"A few months ago, our Haiyu Non-staple Food Processing Factory submitted an application to the commune, stating that in the future the processing factory will supply canned food to all supply and marketing cooperatives that purchase our canned food according to the production batch number." Yu Zhile took out a piece of paper, "This is our unified representation system for production batch numbers."
Then, she took out the note for recording the handover of canned goods and said loudly, "This is the note from our village distribution team to the various supply and marketing cooperatives. It clearly records the production batch number of the latest batch of canned goods received by each supply and marketing cooperative."
Liu Ying confirmed her statement and told her the exact date when they submitted the application.
Then, Yu Zhile signaled Chen Zhao to hand the glass jar to the witness, while she herself handed out notes to the witness.
The five witnesses looked at the note to the left, then at the label on the bottle to the right, and confirmed it several times.
Then, several people exchanged the things in their hands and looked at them carefully again.
They soon discovered something was going on, began to murmuring to each other, and eventually came to a conclusion and elected a representative.
"The five of us have carefully read all the slips. There is a special number combination on each slip, and there are seals of various supply and marketing cooperatives." The representative announced loudly, "We also carefully read the numbers on the bottle labels and found that the codes on them are the same as the numbers on the slips of the supply and marketing cooperative in the town. So we speculate that these cans were all bought in the town, and they want to frame the people of Haiyu Village."
The people around were in an uproar again.
Turning around, the five hooligans had dejected expressions on their faces, and they were almost admitting the fact of the false accusation.
Ning Tan and the public security officers lined up in front of them, flexing their arm muscles, which scared them so much that they immediately admitted that they were hired to frame Haiyu Village.
The only thing they didn't lie about was their registered place of residence, and we really don't know who is behind it.
They were well-known local hooligans. One night, they were suddenly approached by a young man, who gave them five Big Unity tickets and asked them to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a can of Haiyu brand canned food and meet up at a designated location.
The five hooligans had all heard of the Haiyu brand and knew that the supply and marketing cooperative in Haidong Town sold it, so they were too lazy to bring them from the local area. After they met up, one of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought five cans at once.
After that, they started making up stories for each other, deliberately avoiding the same plots.
Unexpectedly, just by coming to scout the place in advance, Yu Zhile had seen through their trick. She even saw through their trick in advance.
"Bah, you actually dare to come to our Haidong Town to bully people, and even dare to bully the people of our Haiyu Village." Someone spat at them.
Some people even took advantage of the chaos to kick them a few times.
After a while, Ning Tan took them back to the police station.
Liu Ying comforted Yu Zhile and the others with a few words, then returned to the commune angrily and took turns calling communes in other places, vowing to seek justice for them.
Haiyupai can be said to be the cornerstone of Haidong Town’s common prosperity plan. If it collapses, the sideline groups in other villages will also be seriously damaged. She wants to see who wants to ruin her plan.
She also wants local cooperation to clarify the rumors!
After everything was over, the onlookers slowly dispersed.
Yu Zhile secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put on a friendly smile, and invited the five witnesses to eat noodles for free.
At the same time, she announced loudly: "Today, all noodles sold at food stalls in Haiyu Village will be reduced by 1 cent from the original price!"
Some people who originally wanted to leave heard this and realized that the price was reduced by one third, so they sat down and wanted to try it.
The stall started operating again, and Zhang Wenxin and her friends no longer had to keep an eye on people all the time. They also helped cook and serve noodles or clean the table.
Yu Zhile looked at Du Sheng's men and motioned for him to step aside to talk.
The two left the market one after the other and found a quiet place to talk.
"Help me find the mastermind behind this, pack up the evidence and send it to Ning Tan and Secretary Liu's desk." Yu Zhile paused for a few seconds, "I have a few suspects, go check them first."
The sturdy man nodded and asked her for the specific list.
"Manager Li from the state-owned restaurant and the director of the cannery in town or his secretary," said Yu Zhile.
In the past six months, they were the only ones who had had teeth marks with Haiyu Village. The former might have held a grudge against them because of the previous airborne incident, while the latter had a direct conflict of interest.
The purchasing power of the surrounding counties and towns is relatively fixed. The more prosperous the Haiyu brand is, the worse the performance of the Haidong Town Cannery will be. Most importantly, the only feature of the town's cannery is the Zhenyuan Ocean Fleet, which is still floating on the sea.
"There will be results within three days." The sturdy man left a word and then left.
Yu Zhile returned to the market and also helped with the work.
After resolving the issue they had been worrying about, everyone in the sideline group felt happier and worked more efficiently.
Yu Zhile specially asked them to prepare more ingredients this morning, but they were all sold out in noon.
There were quite a few takeout orders in the evening, so she asked the people at the food stall to stay at the market to rest, and she went back to the village with Zhang Wenxin and the others to prepare the ingredients, and then asked the fishing team to deliver them to the market.
