It’s Wensran’s call.
When she answered the call, she heard an anxious voice on the other end.
"Qingzhi, there are a lot of orders for refunds of pre-sold autumn rice in the backend right now. Something has happened. Please check V blog."
Xu Qingzhi said calmly: "Okay, I'll take a look."
Grandpa was standing nearby. He was usually hard of hearing, but if something important happened or someone scolded him, his ears would be extremely sharp and he would immediately ask, "Qingzhi, what's wrong? Are you in any trouble?"
"It's okay." Xu Qingzhi didn't know what happened, and didn't want to worry grandpa. He sat on a bamboo chair under the eaves, opened his mobile phone and saw the #Fuwang Farm Toxic Rice# that was the number one trending search.
When I clicked on it, I saw a piece of exposed news.
On October 7, Zhoucheng detected a batch of rice from Meicheng that exceeded the heavy metal standard and was about to be destroyed.
The video pointed out that in May of this year, the state capital had repeatedly detected that rice from Meicheng had serious heavy metal exceeding the standard problem.
This year is obviously not the first time. Meicheng rice has had problems with heavy metal contamination many times in the past. Today, when food safety is increasingly valued by everyone, if even rice has problems, how can we guarantee the health of the people?
It is an indisputable fact that Meicheng’s farmland has been contaminated by heavy metals.
At the end of the video, the blogger pointed out that the Fuwang Farm, which claims to be an organic farm, is located in Meicheng, the site of the heavy metal pollution.
The previous incident of cadmium exceeding the standard in rice is still vivid in people’s minds. Some netizens may have forgotten about it, but now that the old incident has been brought up again, some consumers who bought rice from Fuwang Farm are feeling frightened.
She opened the vegetable selling group and took a look.
Everyone was discussing the topics on the hot search list very enthusiastically.
"Is there something wrong with this rice? Can the boss please come out and say something?"
"I remember the free rice my boss gave me was sent by a rich woman for testing. It was fine and very nutritious."
"Isn't he a hired help? I have a feeling that many of these people are hired by the boss."
"This is all in the same place. The water from the rice fields is all from the same source. It doesn't make sense for the boss's family to not pollute water when others are polluting it. I'm still worried. I've already reported it to the online store and asked for a refund, but the customer service is just playing Tai Chi, not saying whether I can get a refund or not. The boss needs to come out and say whether he will allow a refund or not."
"I want to withdraw too. Exceeding the limit for heavy metals is no joke. I don't dare to gamble with the safety of my life and the lives of my family."
"Leave this poisonous rice for the people of Meicheng to eat. It's so funny."
"You can't say that. The local people are innocent too. They worked so hard to grow rice, but in the end the rice they grew was contaminated with heavy metals. They couldn't make money and couldn't sell it in the future. They didn't want to do that. It was all caused by the pollution from those industrial enterprises."
Xu Qingzhi didn't scroll up and only read the latest ones.
She understands that consumers are worried and want a refund.
This is how buying and selling works. If she wants to sell, she sells. Of course, she also has to allow others to buy if they want to, and not buy if they don't want to.
She typed and replied in the group: "My rice is fine. If you want a refund, please apply for it in the backend. I will approve it."
"Boss, if you say there's no problem, then there's no problem? This has become the number one trending search, show us some evidence."
"I trust the boss. I've bought things from him so many times and have never been disappointed. I will not return this rice and will wait for it to be shipped."
"I won't retreat either."
Lifelong peace: "Boss, can I buy the rice that others have returned?"
Youlan: "@A Life of Peace, Grandma Ping An, do you really want to make me laugh to death? You are snatching people away and returning the ready-made ones."
Lily of the Valley: "Boss, you can sell it with confidence and I can buy it with confidence. I don't believe in the things on the Internet. I only believe in what I eat and the professional test reports."
A few familiar nicknames popped up, and suddenly there were fewer unpleasant words in the group. In addition, the boss agreed to refund the money, so those who wanted to refund went to the backend to get a refund.
Soon, all requested refunds were approved.
Some people just follow the trend and get scared after seeing the bad reviews online and the popular science about how rice with excessive heavy metal content is bad for the body. Besides, the rice is not cheap, so if there is something wrong with it, it will be a waste of money.
After Xu Qingzhi processed the refund, he received a message from Huo Fengyan.
Huo Fengyan: "Someone deliberately put it on the hot search. I asked my subordinates to check and found that it was 'Gudao Farm', which is also an organic farm. Don't read the unpleasant comments online, most of them are paid water army."
Xu Qingzhi: "After a while, the persimmon cakes I made will be ready to eat. Grandpa asked me to send some more to you."
Huo Fengyan: "No need to send it, I'll come over to eat."
Xu Qingzhi: "Alright."
Wen Shanshan walked around anxiously, asking her brother and his good friends: "What should we do? Qingzhi's farm has been vilified like this, and the public opinion on the Internet is too unfavorable. Brother, what did Qingzhi tell you?"
Wen Siran shrugged: "I asked Qingzhi to check the trending searches. Brother Yan should be chatting with her."
Several people looked over there.
Jiang Xiao asked: "What did Qingzhi say?"
Huo Fengyan turned off his phone to prevent Wen Shanshan from leaning over to peek, "She said she would send me dried persimmons."
Wen Shanshan: “…”
Jiang Xiao: “…”
Wen Siran: “…”
