The Battle with the Bad Old Woman
"Look at this girl, Auntie, she's here for the stinky tofu." She pointed at the golden tofu cubes being fried in the pot, her eyes fixed on the iron basin with a wooden lid on the side. Inside, there were neatly stacked pieces of stinky tofu, soaked in stinky brine.
"Aunt Xu, please sit over there." Shen Roujiao made a look at her third brother. Shen Tiannan hurriedly took the mare and came over to help Aunt Xu, but he didn't expect that she didn't respond at all and just stood there staring at her younger sister without moving.
"Auntie!" The eldest brother, holding a bowl of skewers, walked around from the back to the front of the stall and said in a good-natured tone: "Auntie Xu, try these skewers first, they taste good." Shen Tianhua could see that Auntie Xu had come with bad intentions and that she just wanted to use food to appease the public.
It is easy to be greedy when you eat other people's food, but it is stingy when you take other people's things.
If Aunt Xu took it, she would be able to shut her up. With all the delicious food and drinks provided, how could she have the nerve to make trouble again?
Unexpectedly, Aunt Xu, who always took advantage of others, pushed Shen Tianhua's bowl away and said, "I don't want to eat it! I just want to eat this stinky tofu!" She glanced to the side, pointing at the bowl in the diner's hand, with a cold light flashing in her smile.
Shen Roujiao snorted coldly, and understood very well in her heart: Aunt Xu came here today just to cause trouble!
"Brother, since Aunt Xu doesn't want to eat, don't force her. It will be a waste." She would not get used to the kind of person who picks up the bowl to eat and then puts it down to curse his mother.
Shen Roujiao turned around, opened the wooden lid, and took out ten pieces of stinky tofu. As soon as she put them into the oil pan, she saw Aunt Xu pinching her nose first, and then fanning her nose with her hands in an extremely exaggerated manner, saying in a sinister tone: "What is this smell? It's too strong. Can you eat it if it stinks like this?"
"Don't worry, auntie. Even though it smells bad, it actually tastes delicious. I'll give you more soup later." The eldest brother was still trying hard, and his tone was already trying to please.
Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.
Auntie Xu's next words petrified everyone instantly.
"Why does this stinky tofu smell like feces? Could it be that it is really soaked in feces?"
?
! !
"Yue!"
Several diners with small appetites put down their bowls and squatted on the roadside, vomiting loudly.
"You are slandering me!" Shen Tianyou had been tolerating Aunt Xu for a long time. Who could have thought that she would say such vicious words.
Food is the primary need of the people. The most important things in catering are excellent taste and food safety.
Aunt Xu's words "excrement" were malicious slander that could have destroyed the stall. This must be resolved decisively right now, otherwise, once the rumors spread, the stall would definitely not be able to continue.
The fourth brother, who was about to rush over to argue with Aunt Xu, was grabbed by Shen Roujiao. Her face was dark blue, her voice was cold, and her expression was frighteningly serious. "Aunt Xu, this is no joke. When you put something in your mouth, you should pay attention to the health and safety. My brine is made from authentic ingredients, so you can rest assured." Aunt Xu, aren't you saying this to deliberately smash my stall?
Although the diners holding their bowls did not dare to pick up their chopsticks, they also felt that the young boss had a strong aura and that what he said made some sense.
The few who vomited could not help but yell, "You old lady, you said that on purpose to offend me! How can we eat if you say that! Yue!"
Those two words were like a thorn stuck in the diner's throat, which he could neither spit out nor swallow, causing him great discomfort.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Please tell me, does her tofu smell like feces?" Aunt Xu walked over to the vegetable stall next to her and tried to force a confession out of her.
The master was an honest man, and he waved his hands, "My nose is not good, I didn't smell it."
"Everyone, since Aunt Xu mentioned justice, then I will use the country, the government, and the party to justify this for me!" After saying that, Shen Roujiao took out a piece of paper from behind the stall and unfolded it to reveal the newly issued business license.
She stood in front of the stall, holding up her business license with a red official seal, looking like an actress in a board opera, full of righteousness.
"Look, this is the business license of this stall. It is also the only stall in the nearby market that has obtained a business license. The number is 10118, and the business scope is catering. It is clearly written. My stall is recognized by the national government, and my stinky tofu is trusted by the party. Aunt Xu, aren't you slandering the country, the government, and the party by doing this?"
"No, no, I don't have one." Such a big hat was pressed down on her, and Aunt Xu was so scared that she shook her hands. She had never seen a business license before, and she didn't know how the Shen family could have such a thing. She was so scared that she quickly denied it and hurriedly explained, "It just came out of my mouth, nonsense. Don't, don't take it seriously."
The arrogance just now was instantly suppressed by this piece of paper.
The diners also started to criticize Aunt Xu, "You are such a bad old woman!"
"How can there be such a vicious person!"
…
Shen Roujiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to her quick thinking.
At that time, there was no health permit, so we could only use business licenses to maintain business. As expected, government documents are the most effective.
No one's words carry as much weight as this piece of paper.
Aunt Xu ran from the top of the mountain to the bottom in the blink of an eye. She didn't get any advantage, and was almost accused of defaming the government. She was so weak that she had to curl her neck and let others criticize her. Just when she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, she was blocked by a military truck.
Two people got off the car, one was Zhang Qingjie and the other was Zhang Qingjun.
The two watched the whole process of Shen Roujiao's battle with Aunt Xu and the young boss's comeback.
Several times, Zhang Qingjie wanted to rush out of the car to help, but was stopped by Zhang Qingjun. "Just wait and see, that little girl is not only good at fighting, but also smart!"
Zhang Qingjun saw Shen Roujiao sneaking into the bus yesterday. At that time, he curled his lips and listened to the soldiers praising her for being so amazing.
But I didn't expect that the girl with good skills was actually the little boss my brother had been praising for a long time.
What a pity! When facing a wicked person like Aunt Xu, the little girl still softened her heart. Threatening her was only effective at the time.
In war, you have to use real guns and real bullets, and beat the enemy until he begs for mercy.
"Stop!" Zhang Qingjun called out to Aunt Xu from behind. She was so frightened that she stood there like a wooden chicken, staring blankly at the strong and fierce commander in front of her.
The Shen family siblings and the diners were confused by the sudden appearance of Zhang Qingjun, and they also stood there in a daze. Fortunately, Zhang Qingjie waved to Shen Roujiao fiercely, allowing her to quickly figure out the situation.
This person is probably the one he is bragging to: Zhang Qingjie’s brother.
"It would be hard to justify myself if I don't give the diners an explanation!" Zhang Qingjun straightened the wrinkles on his trousers. He didn't even look at anyone, but only glanced at Aunt Xu with the corner of his eye.
With the government being smeared in front and the military commander behind, Aunt Xu was complaining bitterly in her heart. She had finally experienced what it meant to steal a chicken and lose the rice. She stood facing the diners with a droopy eyebrow and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm blind and my words are pure nonsense. You guys continue to eat and drink well, and don't be influenced by an old woman like me."
As if completing a mission, Aunt Xu bowed her head and said to Zhang Qingjun, "Sir, do you think this is OK?"
"It's OK, but it's still missing something." As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Roujiao.
Zhang Qingjie was stunned!
Shen Roujiao, I understand!
She immediately took out the slightly mushy stinky tofu from the pot and handed it to Aunt Xu.
Aunt Xu guessed the intention and tried to play it off by pretending to be confused. She pushed the bowl away and said, "How can I have the nerve to eat it? I won't eat it anymore. I won't eat it anymore."
"Don't!" Shen Roujiao grabbed Aunt Xu's arm and smiled sweetly, "Aunt, now you're here. You have to try it. Not only should you eat it, you have to tell me how delicious it is!" Shen Roujiao pushed the bowl in front of her again.
Aunt Xu looked at her superior, then at Shen Roujiao. One of them was playing the good cop and the other was playing the bad cop, putting her in a difficult position and unable to leave even if she wanted to.
Even though he was extremely reluctant, he still took the bowl from Shen Roujiao's hand tremblingly.
"Come, auntie, sit down and eat!" Shen Tianyou placed the stool in the most conspicuous position among the diners.
Those who were disgusted by her vomiting came over and looked like they wanted to watch her eat until she vomited.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Aunt Xu shrank her neck like a cowardly quail, picked up a piece of stinky tofu and stuffed it into her mouth. "It's really fragrant."
“No wonder business is so good.”
"It smells bad but tastes good, it's special."
…….
Aunt Xu followed Shen Roujiao's request and ate while talking, saying all the words she knew. Finally, she finished the stinky tofu. She held up the empty bowl, showed it to the officer, and asked humbly, "Look, can I leave now?"
"Take the money!" Zhang Qingjun waved his hand, meaning to send her away.
"One cent, auntie." Shen Tiannan reached out to take the empty bowl and watched Auntie Xu take out the money from her trouser pocket reluctantly. When the third brother took the money, Auntie Xu reluctantly let go of his hand, looking so ugly that she almost cried.
Aunt Xu who was so aggrieved and weak had never been seen before, not only by the Shen brothers, but also by the elders and villagers in the whole village. This person who had always been cunning and domineering had finally come to this day.
Shen Tiannan held back his laughter and handed the dime to his younger sister, not forgetting to add, "It's exactly one dime."
Aunt Xu was so angry that her teeth were itching. This time she lost both her wife and her troops. It was just a waste of money.
After walking a few meters away dejectedly, Aunt Xu turned around to look at Shen Roujiao who was frying tofu. Unexpectedly, the other party also raised his head to look at her, very coldly, with resentment and hatred.
She immediately lowered her head, avoiding the other person's gaze, and left without looking back.
That look reminded her of what Zhao Ye said: "The youngest of the Shen family is different from the past. He is a little scary and not easy to mess with. He has a few brothers protecting him. Don't provoke him. You will not get away with anything."
"How can a little girl be so capable? You won't be intimidated by her, will you?" At that time, Aunt Xu didn't believe it at all.
But now I kind of believe it. This little girl is very ruthless. When she gets angry, people are inexplicably scared. She can be gentle and kind, but she can also be ruthless.
In addition, she had a boss who was not to be trifled with, backing her up.
The loss she suffered today was unfair. She lost both to the enemy and to the team. She had never been so poor before. She must keep this in mind and demand double the compensation someday.
