Chapter 157: Hot Pot Restaurant Under Investigation

The store manager is a capable and capable woman in her thirties, and she is very cooperative.

"This is absolutely impossible. Our hotpot restaurant has been doing very well since its opening, so it is inevitable that our competitors will maliciously report us in order to compete.

There have been several times in the past where people said there was something wrong with our soup base, or that the ingredients were not fresh, etc. We fully cooperated with the city law enforcement agencies’ investigations and evidence collection every time, but in the end it was confirmed to be a false accusation.

The soup base and ingredients of our hot pot restaurant fully comply with the catering hygiene standards, and even far exceed those of other companies in the same industry.”

The law enforcement team leader was a middle-aged man in his forties with a serious expression. He took out his work ID and showed it to the store manager.

“We are from the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the whistleblower reported the case using his real name and provided relevant evidence and testimony.

Now, please ask your staff to evacuate the diners, keep all the tableware intact, and open all the kitchen materials and ingredients, as well as the warehouse, so that we can collect evidence one by one."

The law enforcement captain was right next to the cash register and his voice was quite loud. Many people heard what he said and the store suddenly became noisy.

"We haven't started eating yet. Do we have to pay if we leave now?"

"We've only eaten half of it, and there's still a lot of food left. How do we calculate it?"

"Who is so wicked as to report it at this time? I finally got a seat and I didn't even have enough to eat."

"The Industry and Commerce Bureau is here to check again. They checked twice last year, but nothing happened!"

"It must be the people from the hot pot restaurants on the next street who did this, right? Business here is so good, there are long lines every day, while those restaurants next door are deserted and not fully occupied every day."

The customers were making a lot of noise and the manager was in a difficult situation. The hotpot restaurant she managed had a business area of ​​over 500 square meters, with more than 50 tables in the private rooms and the hall, all of which were full at the moment. If she didn't collect money, the loss would be as high as 400,000 or 500,000 yuan. But the customers were unwilling to pay, after all, they hadn't finished their meal.

"Can you give the guests some time to finish eating? We won't serve the guests after that. We won't accept the guests from these tables after they leave, okay?"

Seeing that the diners were very upset, the law enforcement team leader reluctantly agreed to give them a 15-minute grace period so that they could eat the dishes cooked in the pot. The uncooked dishes would be returned to the order and the kitchen would not serve any more dishes.

After hearing this, the diners decided not to get upset anymore. After all, they were just ordinary people and they didn't want to confront law enforcement officers and be charged with obstructing law enforcement.

The store manager had no choice but to arrange for all the waiters to clean up the mess, while she herself helped to take out orders and settle accounts at the cashier.

In order to restore the goodwill of diners and the reputation of the store, the store manager offered a 15% discount on drinks and dishes to all guest tables, and gave cash coupons to be used against the next purchase.

This way, all the diners are happy.

Tao Siqi and Zhang Ke ate voraciously, and finally finished all the food in the pot within fifteen minutes. They were so full that they burped.

Li Shurong couldn't bear to watch, "You can pack up the food if you can't finish it. Aren't you afraid of burning your tongue?"

Tao Siqi touched her bloated belly and smiled foolishly, "It won't taste good if I take it back."

Tang Qi was queuing up at the checkout counter and spent a total of more than 600 yuan. The store manager apologized with a smile on his face and gave her a 100-yuan cash voucher.

Tang Qi declined, "No thanks."

Because, after today, there will no longer be a Thirteen Spices Hotpot restaurant in City B.

The store manager had no idea what she was thinking and forced the voucher into her hand. "The voucher is valid for three months. No matter how much you spend next time, you can use it to offset the full amount."

An old lady nearby saw that Tang Qi didn't want it, so she snatched it away and said, "Hey, little girl, if you don't want it, just give it to me."

Mr. Mo tried various ways to induce childbirth: "Wife, they all say that marriage is a heavy yoke."

Mrs. Mo agreed: "So it needs two people to share the responsibility."

Mr. Mo asked tentatively: "If three people share the burden, the pressure should be much lighter?"

Mrs. Mo frowned: "You want to take a concubine?"

Mr. Mo: …
