Chapter 226 Cutting Corners
A strong man suddenly shouted loudly.
Jiang Lingu was so scared that he almost threw the tray in his hand away.
Bai Qianshan, who was greeting guests at the door, felt his heart in his throat.
Thought something happened in the shop.
He turned his head and looked over.
Without waiting for the strong man to continue shouting and cursing.
The customers in the shop also echoed this.
"Pah, pah, this cold noodle is so disgusting! Isn't it just a little vinegar and salt? There is no chewiness at all, and it is made of coarse flour. How can you charge this price? Jiang's snack shop uses fine flour. How dare you sell it at the same price? You are simply a profiteer!"
"The same goes for meat pie. The meat pie from Jiang's Snack Shop is so delicious that you can taste the meat in one bite. It's sizzling and oily, and the meat is thicker than the pie. Your pie is made with coarse flour, but I had to take five bites to get the meat. You dare call this a meat pie? Does it even count? I might as well buy a meat bun instead."
"You told me this is sugar water jiao? Where's the sugar? Where did it go? What's the difference except that it has a few more green beans than green bean soup? The fruit inside is actually so sour green plums. A sack of this stuff only costs one penny, and even dogs wouldn't eat it! You actually used it to make sugar water jiao?
I can't taste anything except sourness. I'm going to take your ancestors' food, but what did you take? Take your grandfather's food! Give me my money back, I won't eat it anymore, bah, bah, bah, it's really bad luck so early in the morning, it's really disgusting, bah——"
The four tables were full of people.
But without exception.
All of them asked for their money back.
Bai Qianshan and Jiang Lingu were both stunned.
They clearly tried the flavor yesterday.
Although I can’t say it’s very delicious, it’s definitely not that bad.
Could it be that Jiang's Snack Shop deliberately sent someone to cause trouble?
Aren't these people diners?
Bai Qianshan was a little suspicious. He narrowed his eyes, scanned these people, and then strode in.
He was about to explode, but when he saw the food on the table, he immediately stopped.
No wonder the guests are making trouble.
It turned out that someone had cut corners on the food.
The taste will definitely be greatly reduced.
He instantly became angry.
Lift the curtain and walk into the backyard.
"Ms. Zhou, this is outrageous. You actually reduced the amount of ingredients without permission. Are you planning to sell the stolen items? You are so audacious. Now the customers outside are clamoring for a refund. What do you think we should do?
Are you here to make up the difference? On the first day of business, something terrible has happened. Do you still want to do this? If not, pack up and get out of here!"
Bai Qianshan's scolding voice was particularly loud.
Jiang Muyao, who was sleeping in the backyard, was so scared that he burst into tears.
Zhou Gai'er felt very distressed, but he didn't dare to go into the house to comfort her.
She looked at Bai Qianshan, and just as she was about to speak, she glanced at Wan Zhen again.
In the end, I swallowed my words.
Seeing her hesitant look.
Bai Qianshan mistakenly thought she really stole the ingredients.
So he spoke again: "All right, get out of here, take your children and get out of here quickly. I will hire a new shopkeeper and cook tomorrow. I don't believe that I can't hire anyone with just one or two taels of silver. I provide you with food and shelter, and this is how you repay me? Ah? You ungrateful bastard!"
Bai Qianshan's saliva was splattering.
Zhou Gaier wiped his face and could only tell the truth: "No, no, it was Madam. Madam told me to reduce the amount. It's none of my business. I didn't steal anything. Mr. Bai, you can't chase us away. I didn't steal anything. It was Madam. Madam said that if we don't reduce the amount of ingredients, we won't make any money. I can only listen to her orders."
No matter how stupid Zhou Gaier was, he wouldn't dare to reduce it without permission.
She shook her head and waved her hands wildly.
She refused to admit that she did it.
With her temper, if anyone in the village dared to speak to her like that, she would have cursed them out long ago.
But facing her master, she didn't dare to even complain.
Afraid of being driven away.
A total bully of the weak and afraid of the strong.
The noise in the backyard was transmitted to the front of the shop through the non-soundproof curtains, so that the guests who had just made a lot of noise pricked up their ears to listen.
When his daughter-in-law was scolded, Jiang Lingu did not go to help.
In case he leaves.
What should I do if a customer who hasn't paid runs away?
Then he will be scolded too.
"Wife, is it really you?" Seeing Zhou Gaier looked innocent, Bai Qianshan looked at Wan Zhen with a cold face.
"It's me. What's wrong? You don't know how expensive meat and flour are. You insist on cutting down the price today. If I don't let her reduce the quantity, how can our shop make money? Besides, sugar is so expensive. Do they deserve to eat it?
I put so much sugar in it and sold it to them for two cents a bowl. What's the point? I'm not a bodhisattva who saves people from suffering and does not ask for anything in return! Why do we open this shop? Isn't it just to make money?"
Wan Zhensi didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.
She held her head high and spoke confidently.
"You, you, you are such a jerk! I don't know what to say to you. You offended a customer on the first day of opening the shop. How can our shop have any business in the future? Then why did we open this shop? Throwing money into the water? It would be better to rent out the shop. At least we can get two taels of rent a month."
Bai Qianshan couldn't scold him, nor could he hit him.
He was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and wanted to just walk away.
But he knew that if he left.
Wan will only go further and offend all the guests.
So we can't let her knock down and close the shop.
Bai Qianshan coaxed and begged her, and finally begged her to go home and take care of her grandson.
After Wanzhen left.
Bai Qianshan breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately said to Zhou Gaier, "Do everything the same as yesterday. Don't reduce the ingredients anymore, understand? Give me enough."
"Yes, Mr. Bai." Zhou Gaier nodded while kneading the dough.
Wanzhen left.
Good and bad for her.
In the past, the Jiang family snack shop was run by the whole family, and they were very busy.
Not to mention Zhou Gaier alone.
After she got married, she seldom went into the kitchen and became unfamiliar with cooking.
Therefore, the food is served very slowly.
At Jiang's Snack Shop, even if you order five dishes, you will only have to wait for a quarter of an hour at most.
Available at Bai’s Snack Shop.
Even if you only order mung bean soup, you have to wait at least fifteen minutes.
Zhou Gaier was so tired that he was sweating profusely.
In front of the shop, Bai Qianshan was admitting his mistake and apologizing to the customer who had just caused trouble.
"I'm really sorry. The cook we invited didn't know the rules and changed the cooking methods without permission, so the taste has changed drastically. So, all the food just served is my treat. Please give Bai's Snack Shop a chance to serve you again. I guarantee that the taste is no worse than Jiang's Snack Shop."
Bai Qianshan blamed all the mistakes on Zhou Gaier.
Husband and wife are one body. Even if he dislikes Wan Zhen, he would never expose her shortcomings to outsiders.
Moreover, Bai Qianshan had never eaten anything from Jiang's snack shop.
I just thought it tasted similar to the snack shop next door.
