Chapter 334
After finishing their meal, the people threatened, "Is this how you treat your guests? This little bit of food is not enough. Bring some more."
The waiter's face suddenly changed, and he subconsciously wanted to drive the man away, but Ruan Mian came up with a smile and explained in a friendly manner in front of everyone.
"My dear, this is a new dish we made for you as an apology. Don't eat too much of it. It will make your stomach uncomfortable. You..."
Before he could finish his words, the leader suddenly sneered: "Who are you trying to fool? Huh? I see you just can't bear to let go! You're just making up excuses!"
"In a word, are you going to give it to me or not? I won't give you the restaurant sign..."
"Since you want it, as the host, we certainly can't be stingy."
Ruan Mian gestured to the kitchen, and the waiters brought in a few more dishes in a short while, which were also swept away by them.
At this moment, they seemed to be still not full and were banging their hands on the table, trying to make things worse.
Receiving Ruan Mian's eye signal, Mei Xi immediately stepped forward, pretending to be weak, and called out timidly.
"My dear, we are just a small business. How can we withstand such a harassment from you? We just gave you so many dishes for free. Do you think it's not enough?"
"What exactly does Langjun mean?"
"You..." The leading refugee grabbed her clothes. The guests at the next table couldn't stand it anymore and rushed up!
"You guys are going too far!!"
"Can you please calm down? Is this where you're looking for trouble? Not only do you want to dine for free, but you're also disturbing other people's meals. How can that be justified? The host has already given you a lot of food, and you still want to push your luck?"
"Is it your turn to give orders now? We..."
Before the refugee could finish his words, his expression suddenly changed. He covered his stomach fiercely. The others did the same at the same moment, hunching their bodies with expressions of extreme pain.
"Ah...you...you guys poisoned the food?!"
The refugee pointed at Ruan Mian and yelled loudly. The pain was like a knife digging, which was unbearable. Veins popped all over his body and he felt extremely painful.
Others were also shocked when they saw this, but Ruan Mian just frowned slightly and said calmly.
"It must be that the young master has a stomach upset, it's nothing serious. We run a restaurant, how could we have the guts to poison him? Besides, there are so many eyes watching us, we can't let ourselves down!"
"My dear, just bear with it."
The refugee was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak. He just felt a burning sensation in his stomach, as if flames were constantly burning his intestines, causing him endless pain.
At this moment, the waiter stepped forward and said loudly, "Our boss has just told you that you've already tried quite a few of the new dishes, yet you're still greedy and want more. As the saying goes, don't be greedy when you enjoy a good meal. Eating too much of these mushrooms can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, but it's only a minor problem."
"Look at all the people here. You are the only ones who feel uncomfortable after eating. As long as you don't overeat, there will be no problem. Besides, no one can tell whether your pain is real or fake." As soon as these words were spoken, others felt that they made a lot of sense.
"That's right. I just clearly heard the owner admonishing them not to be greedy, but you still insulted the owner and refused to give you food. That's why you acted like this. I think you only have your own faults."
"That's right, we haven't seen any signs of illness. I think they're probably here to cause trouble and ruin the place! Don't you agree?"
These words made the refugee so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he roared out even though he endured the severe pain.
"Are you all blind?! I'm in this state, how could it be fake? She must have poisoned us, there must be something wrong with her stuff!"
Ruan Mian asked Mei Xi to get a silver needle and test the poison in the food in front of everyone.
After he was fine, he asked his servant to invite three doctors in the city to come over and take their pulses one by one.
The result showed that the pulse was normal and there was no sign of poisoning. Everyone said that it was probably gastrointestinal discomfort caused by eating too much, but it was not serious to this extent.
When the others heard this, they sneered at them even more: "The doctor said you weren't poisoned. You must be faking your pain! This is too much!"
"Madam Ruan has at least helped a lot of people in our Wuheng City. How could we allow you to ruin her reputation?"
Amidst the accusations, a waiter in the building shouted, "I've never seen any of you in the city before. You're probably refugees from outside!"
"The market is open today, how dare refugees break the rules and enter the city? I'm going to ask the officials for justice! Our restaurant is perfectly fine, offering free food samples, and you've ruined it, and even framed our owner!"
The guy ran out of the door swiftly. Seeing this, the refugees were so scared that they didn't bother to deal with these people and left in shame.
But Ruan Mian calmly winked at Yun Xiu in the kitchen. After those people slipped out of the street like rats, Yun Xiu tied them all up at the entrance of an alley and took them back to the restaurant's woodshed.
At this moment they were still suffering from pain and had no power to resist at all. They begged for mercy with pale faces.
Ruan Mian walked into the house slowly, looking down at the group of people, holding a water bag in his hand.
"Tell me, who sent you here to cause trouble? If you tell me clearly, this potion will ease your pain. Otherwise, you will have no choice but to submit and be taken to the county yamen for a thorough interrogation."
The man was breathing heavily and glaring at Ruan Mian with wide eyes.
But even so, there was nothing they could do to Ruan Mian.
Seeing that the stomach pain did not ease at all and was like a stomachache, the two sides were in a stalemate and one of them could no longer bear it and confessed.
"Dong... The boss is a foreigner wearing a bamboo hat. He gave us a lot of money and asked us to go to your shop and cause trouble. He said the bigger the better, and it would be best if we could ruin your shop's reputation!"
"But we don't know who that person is. Maybe he's our boss's enemy. We...we're blinded by money and just want to survive."
"Alive?"
Ruan Mian sneered, "Who in this world doesn't want to live? If everyone were as selfish as you, not caring about the lives of others, what kind of chaos would this world be in?"
"As human beings, you lack basic morals. Since you are so rude, I will teach you a lesson about the rules of the world and karma."
After saying that, he threw the water bag out, and those people watched helplessly as the potion spilled all over the floor.
The pain made them disregard their dignity, crawl over and lick the so-called medicine with their tongues in fear.
These potions are just ordinary well water.
The reason they did so was because those peppers were industrial pepper varieties specially cultivated in Ruan Mian's space.
