He spoke righteously, and passers-by blamed Uncle Ji.
"Don't be foolish and count the chickens wrongly when you brought them out. This shop is truly a century-old shop. They make so much every day. It's impossible for them to be greedy for even one chicken."
Uncle Ji Wu cried, "If these chickens were mine, it wouldn't matter if one was missing, but they were all sent to me by my neighbors to sell in the city. If I can't sell them, I have to return them. But I don't know which one is missing, let alone whose it is. I really can't explain myself when I go back."
He looked at Ji Shen, hoping he would say a few words for him.
Ji Shen didn't know what to do for a moment. He asked the waiter, "How many chickens do you have in your shop?"
The clerk said arrogantly, "How would I know? I buy and sell them all the time. Some chickens gave birth to chicks before I could process them. How would I remember the number of chickens?"
Ji Shen was in a dilemma. He didn't know the exact number of chickens. How could he find them?
Seeing this, the waiter shouted, "Everyone knows I'm just an employee in the shop. Even if I steal a chicken, I can't take it home. It all belongs to the owner. What am I trying to do? To curry favor with the owner? The owner makes a fortune every day, so how can I curry favor with him by stealing a chicken?"
Except for the group of scholars, everyone nodded.
"Dude's absolutely right, there's no benefit in doing this."
"It's a century-old shop. Three generations of my family have bought roast chicken here. It's impossible for them to defraud people's chicken."
"This country bumpkin must have some bad intentions and wants to extort money from people."
Ji Shen and Uncle Ji Wu were both criticized and criticized. Being too shy to bear it, he said to Uncle Ji Wu, "If you don't want to just let it go, I'll compensate you with the money for a chicken."
Ji Huai frowned when he heard this.
Uncle Ji was not willing to do that at all. Now that the matter had become so serious, it was no longer a question of whether it was a chicken or not. It also concerned his face and the reputation of the entire village.
Sure enough, someone onlooker said, "I don't know which village he's from. I told my family to stay away from people from this village. If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked."
"See? The owner of this braised meat shop is from the same village as this old man. I wonder if he's trying to extort money from people."
Yan Xiaoman became anxious when he saw the fire burning on himself.
After traveling through time, the thing she invested the most in was this braised meat shop. She finally vacated the shop and opened it again. She really made a lot of effort.
She eagerly defended herself, "There must be a misunderstanding. Our prices are fair and we don't cheat anyone. Please feel free to buy from us."
"What misunderstanding could there be? We are all birds of a feather."
Yan Xiaoman smiled and said, "He is him and I am me. How can we mix them up? He is just a familiar neighbor and has nothing to do with our family."
Uncle Ji Wu's face changed when he said this. "Scholarly nephew, do you think so too?"
Ji Shen looked embarrassed: "Fifth Uncle, let's go back first..."
"Why are you replying?" Uncle Ji was so angry that he was shaking. "Well, you are trying to distance yourself from me before the matter is clear. I have made a mistake in choosing you. I will take it as my bad luck for what happened today."
Ji Huai supported him: "Fifth Uncle, I believe you. With so many people here, we will definitely get justice for you."
He said to the clerk, "My fifth uncle is a highly respected man in the village. It's impossible for him to lie. I'm going to check your shop."
The guy said arrogantly: "Why should I let you in? This old man doesn't even know what his own chicken looks like. How can you recognize it when you have never seen a chicken?"
He really couldn't recognize it, but Ji Huai couldn't swallow this anger. He had to think about whether there was any way to find the chicken.
Yun Yuan had been watching for a long time and knew it was time to step forward. Mu Xingzhi noticed his movements and asked, "Have you come up with a plan?"
Yun Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile, "There is indeed a solution. I can think of an idea, and I'm sure that with your wisdom, you must have thought of it long ago."
Mu Xingzhi showed a hint of appreciation: "Actually, I just thought of it, but I'm not sure if it's feasible."
Yun Yuan said, "We'll know if it works after we give it a try."
Mu Xingzhi laughed dumbly, "Indeed, are you going to do it or am I going to do it?"
Yun Yuan: "I'll come and see if your method is consistent with mine."
Mu Xingzhi chuckled: "Okay."
Yun Yuan walked out of the crowd with light steps, her voice clear and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley.
"Excuse me, sir, have you purchased any chickens from other farmers in your store today?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a graceful, beautiful woman walking out of the crowd.
Her skin was as white as snow, her face was extremely beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her gaze was radiant. Her three thousand black hair was cleverly tied into a bun at the back of her head, revealing her slender and white neck.
She was wearing a crabapple-colored dress. The skirt was wide and soft and light. It fluttered with her light steps, like a blooming flower, exuding a faint fragrance.
The people present first stared quietly at Yun Yuan's stunning appearance, with amazement welling up in their hearts.
However, when they noticed the bun on her head, they couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Such a beautiful woman was already married. They wondered which young man had such good fortune.
The guy was also a little stunned.
Ji Huai repeated Yun Yuan's words unhappily, "Did your store buy any chickens from other places today?"
The man seemed to have just woken up from his dream and replied, "No."
Yun Yuan asked again: "What about yesterday?"
The waiter replied automatically, "Not really. The chickens in our shop are all freshly caught three days ago."
Yun Yuan: "What do you usually feed the chickens in your shop?"
The guy was proud: "I feed them with rice grains, rice and bran mixed together."
