Chapter 111
The Song brothers ate silently with big mouthfuls. By the time they realized what was happening, they had almost licked all the rice grains on the plate.
Boss Song's eyelids twitched, and he quickly stopped and poked his younger brother, who was still immersed in the delicious food, with his elbow.
She winked at him and hinted, "Don't eat! How can you bury the cockroaches when there's no food left?"
Song Lao Er was stunned. He looked at the two clean enamel plates and started to make faces. "Brother! What should I do? Should I order another plate?"
Tang Ziyi, who had already finished eating and was chewing his teeth, looked at the two brothers across from him, their brain waves exchanging, and asked in confusion, "Brother, did you have a stroke?"
Boss Song immediately retorted: "Who had a stroke? You had a stroke! Your whole family had a stroke!"
"No! I see your faces twitching, this is the precursor to a stroke! You look so alike, are you brothers? It could be a family disease! We should go to the hospital for a checkup."
Mr. Song was furious, but he had important things to do, so he didn't want to argue with him. He waved his hand and said, "Go away! Stop meddling in other people's business."
Tang Ziyi shrugged, and he and Zhang Feng took the plate and put it away, planning to go find Ye Jiayin later.
Song Lao Er came over and said to Song Lao Da, "Brother! What should we do? Do you want to order another one?"
"What are you ordering? It's free, right? Put the food in. As long as it's on his plate, it can't escape!"
Song Lao Er looked around with a sly look in his eyes, quickly took out a cockroach from his pocket and threw it into the plate. Because he was too nervous, he couldn't take out all the cockroaches at once and only took out one.
Boss Song didn't even look closely. He just picked up the plate and yelled, "Ouch! The food here is not clean! Are you going to give me more food with such a big cockroach? Ouch! My brother has a stomachache from eating so much!"
His loud howling attracted the attention of Su Miao and others as well as the diners in the restaurant. Those who came closer to take a look were shocked by the big black cockroach and immediately lost their appetite for the half-left food on their plates.
Seeing this, Su Miao, Su Yuanzheng and others came over to check the situation. When they saw them coming, Song Laoer immediately covered his stomach and cried out "Ouch, ouch".
"Comrade, our store has always paid great attention to hygiene, and there has never been any case of anyone getting sick from eating." Su Yuanzheng said.
Boss Song held his plate high, looking domineering. "What's this on my plate? Is it made of clay? Check your food quickly! You might have eaten it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other guests pulled up the food on their plates, but apart from the delicious food, there was nothing strange.
"No! Mine is clean and delicious, and there are no cockroaches."
"I don't have any either. I come here to eat every other day and there's never been any problem."
Boss Song originally wanted to get the diners to put pressure on the store together, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect, and the diners all started to speak up for Su Ji.
"You're lucky. It's certainly not on everyone's plate. Otherwise, there would be a pot full of cockroaches. But my brother ate it! Now he has a stomachache. What do you think we should do?"
"Uncle, did you get diarrhea from eating cockroaches? Are cockroaches more poisonous than laxatives? Why would you have an immediate reaction after eating them?"
Su Miao's words were echoed by the surrounding diners.
"Yeah, let's not talk about whether the cockroaches are from the store or not. How can you get a stomachache if you eat them? We have dishes made with insects here, so how can they be poisonous?"
"Exactly! Fried cicada pupae, steamed ant eggs, and even things soaked in wine. It's not like I haven't tried them before!"
Boss Song was also angry: "Hey! Stop changing the subject! It's yours to eat whatever you like! Shouldn't a restaurant give an explanation if cockroaches are found in their food?"
"Uncle, why are you holding the cockroach so high? Why don't you put it on the table so that everyone can see it clearly." Su Miao said in a relaxed tone.
"Humph! I'll let it go! You all have to watch carefully, or you won't accuse me of bluffing."
Boss Song threw the enamel plate onto the table with a clang, and everyone stretched their necks to look.
After a careful examination, Su Miao said, "That's not right! You said your brother ate a cockroach? But this cockroach doesn't even have a leg missing!"
The Song brothers were stunned, and even the wailing of the second brother Song hesitated for a second.
"Uh! That must be poisoning from eating cockroach-contaminated food!"
Su Miao pointed at the large cockroach and laughed, "That's not right! If there was a cockroach in there, you should have discovered it halfway through the meal. Look at this plate of rice, not even a grain of rice is left. Could it be that you discovered the cockroach and still insisted on finishing the meal? And this cockroach didn't even touch the oil or water. Could it be that you licked it?"
Laughter broke out in the crowd, and by this time many people realized that something was wrong.
Song Lao Er stopped pretending and jumped up, shouting, "Is there any law? I ate a cockroach in your shop! I'm going to complain to the health department! They want you to close down this shady shop! You're all agents of this business, right? You're all lying with your eyes open. If this cockroach wasn't from your shop, could you have brought it here?"
This trick has been tried and tested by them. As long as you complain, most businesses will soften their stance. After all, if the health department really comes to inspect, how many stores can guarantee that there are no problems?
Boss Song's eyes flashed with pride, waiting for the store owner to come and settle the matter privately with him. Sure enough, Su Miaoxiao, who was closest to him, whispered, "Then how do you want to solve this, uncle?"
Hmm? How can this place let a little kid talk?
Boss Song ignored her, stretched out five fingers and compared them, then whispered to Su Yuanzheng, "This number."
"What? Uncle wants us to pay 5,000 yuan? We run a small business! We can't make that much money in two years!"
Su Miao's exclamation caused even louder exclamations at the scene. Five thousand yuan!!! Isn't this robbery?
Boss Song cursed the little brat in his heart, wondering if he was crazy. Why was he shouting so loudly? He clearly only wanted 500 yuan. "What 5,000? When did I say 5,000?!"
"Not five thousand? Could it be fifty thousand? Even if you ask my dad to sell his daughter, he can't raise that much money!"
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more outrageous, the onlookers suggested calling the police and asking them to investigate.
Su Miao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! Uncle, let's call the police together! Let's find out where these cockroaches came from and whether my family needs to compensate you 50,000 yuan."
Boss Song was almost driven to collapse by Su Miao's constant back and forth. Who was the boss of this family? Why was this kid always causing trouble?
What he didn't know was that when Su Miao made her move, Su Yuanzheng and Su Yu had already put their minds at ease, because they estimated that the two scammers together were no match for their little girl.
