Chapter 166 Catching the Thief
Du Shaojie felt speechless. There were strict regulations on the storage and use of spice bags. Registration was required for entry and exit. How could two bags be lost suddenly?
One bag of spice bags can make 10 [Spicy Chicken], and it was not a small thing. Moreover, two bags were missing at once.
The most likely possibility was that someone took it, or someone stole it.
Is there a commercial spy these days? He felt incredible.
"Tingting, you go back first, don't make a big fuss for the time being. I'll be there soon, and I'll handle this matter."
Du Shaojie sent Huang Tingting away and had a meal with Xiaomei and her family.
After putting down the bowl and chopsticks, he rode his bike to the snack bar.
This kind of thing is not difficult to check. The spice bags are usually locked in the cabinet, and they are registered when they enter and leave. The physical inventory is consistent with the account. It was two bags of spices that Huang Tingting took out today that were missing.
There were only so many people in the kitchen, and they asked one by one, and finally locked the target on an employee of the breakfast class.
The male employee was called Li Xiangyu. He was the last one to leave the snack bar during the breakfast shift. He had a brief conversation with the employee in charge of feeding materials from Huang Tingting's team.
During this time, the employee in charge of feeding materials left for a while. When he came back, Li Xiangyu had already left work.
"I didn't check the number of spice bags at the time. It was almost noon when I found that two bags were missing. It must have been Li Xiangyu who stole them. No one in our team left all morning."
"Li Xiangyu met me when he left the unit. I saw him carrying a large canvas bag. I don't know what was in it, but there must be something."
There was more and more circumstantial evidence. The next morning, Du Shaojie called Li Xiangyu to ask him about it. At first, he refused to admit it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, I will call the police immediately. I can tell you that although the two packets of spices are not worth much, they involve a secret recipe. Stealing a secret recipe will result in a sentence.
If you explain it clearly now, I can still let you off. If you refuse to admit it, you can go and tell the police. Their detection methods are very advanced. You know the lie detector, right? It is impossible to get away with it."
Du Shaojie told a lot of true and false things, which scared Li Xiangyu so much that his face turned pale.
He couldn't deny this matter at all. It was too obvious. Except for him, no one could take the spice bags away yesterday.
Moreover, this guy's psychological quality was not good. He was deceived and broke down directly.
"I say, I say, don't call the police. I was wrong. I shouldn't have coveted the 100 yuan promised by Tan Xiaoshan. I took the two spice bags and then handed them to Tan Xiaoshan."
Li Xiangyu also told Tan Xiaoshan's identity. The other party was the owner of the [Spicy Chicken] store closest to the snack bar.
"You bastard! You want to steal the secret recipe when you can't compete. Manager Du, let's call the police immediately. The secret recipe must not be leaked, otherwise the loss will be huge." Dong
Jun was immediately furious and wanted to take people to kill him immediately.
Du Shaojie winked at him, and then said to Li Xiangyu: "Go and explain it to the bureau yourself. You don't need to come to the snack bar anymore. We don't need people like you. If you cooperate to testify, I can not call the police."
"Thank you, Manager Du, I was bewitched. I testify that it was Tan Xiaoshan who asked me to steal the spice bags."
Li Xiangyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that Du Shaojie was willing to let him go, but it was useless to call the police for such a small matter. There was no such thing
as intellectual property rights these days. Even if there was, it was not stealing secret recipes, and two bags of spice bags could not do anything to the other party.
But he was not so polite to Tan Xiaoshan. Du Shaojie immediately took a group of employees and Li Xiangyu and rushed to the other party's store.
"What are you doing? Although we have competition, we can't solve the problem with force."
Tan Xiaoshan was still studying the spice bag, and he basically had no idea at all.
The spices were not only fried, but also ground into granules. It was difficult to distinguish the spices in it, let alone analyze the ratio.
Then he saw a large group of people from the snack bar of Guangyuan Hotel, rushing over aggressively.
Tan Xiaoshan was guilty of being a thief, and then he shouted loudly, hoping to attract the attention of passers-by, otherwise he would definitely suffer. How many people were there? There were only three people in his small shop.
"Damn Tan Xiaoshan, hand over the spice bag that stole our spice bag. Li Xiangyu admitted that you used a hundred yuan to lure him to steal our spice bag, but in fact you wanted to steal the secret recipe!"
Dong Jun came up and took the lead, but he said the truth.
Tan Xiaoshan only saw Li Xiangyu in the crowd at this time, and he didn't dare to have any illusions anymore. He must be in the wrong in this matter, so he ran away.
Du Shaojie stood on the periphery and moved as soon as the other party moved.
He has been a long-distance runner for years. He reacts quickly and runs in front of Tan Xiaoshan, stretching his legs to trip him to the ground.
Tan Xiaoshan fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
More and more people gathered around, and soon, the police from the police station arrived.
"What's going on?"
The police station was only 50 meters away, and the police came really quickly.
Du Shaojie revealed his identity and then told the whole story.
The police went to Tan Xiaoshan's store and saw two bags of spice bags, one of which had been opened and the other was still there.
With Li Xiangyu's testimony, the right and wrong were clear at a glance.
"You two, come with me to the police station. In addition, Comrade Du, please go there as well."
The police immediately took the physical evidence and asked Du Shaojie, Tan Xiaoshan and Li Xiangyu to go to the station together.
Du Shaojie just went to record a record and returned to the unit. Tan Xiaoshan and Li Xiangyu's problems were not serious, so they were detained for five days and fined.
Back at the company, Du Shaojie reiterated the rules and regulations and strengthened internal management.
At noon.
Xiaomei and Xiaoya came to the snack bar to find their brother. Wang Yuxiu was too busy during the day to make lunch, so Su Dapeng was usually responsible for lunch.
He was also responsible for delivering meals to the two salesmen in the two stores, and the meals were all made by Su Dapeng's mother, which saved time.
"Xiaomei, Xiaoya, what do you two want to eat?"
"I want to
eat roasted lamb." "I
want to eat cold noodles." Xiaomei wanted to eat roasted lamb, and Xiaoya wanted to eat cold noodles.
So Du Shaojie decided to eat roasted meat and cold noodles for lunch. He went out to buy some roasted lamb and came back to eat lunch with his two sisters in the lobby.
"Huh? Does the snack bar sell roasted lamb?"
"It seems not."
"Then why are they eating roasted lamb?"
"They bought it outside, you can go in."
The lobby was in a mess, and someone saw the roasted lamb on Du Shaojie's table and made a casual comment.
Du Shaojie heard it and couldn't help but feel moved.
The locals like to eat cold noodles with a few skewers of roasted lamb, but the snack bar does not have this item, which makes many old diners feel a little regretful.
It is very troublesome for the snack bar to run roasted lamb by itself. Before he contracted it, someone wanted to sell roasted lamb in front of the store and promised to pay a certain fee.
At that time, Du Shaojie could not make the decision. It was troublesome to ask for instructions, so the matter was left unresolved.
Now that he has contracted the snack bar, he can reconsider it.
After dinner, Du Shaojie took Xiaomei and Xiaoya to People's Park to skate. When they were young, they liked sledding and had a natural passion for ice and snow sports.
It's just that the three of them are beginners and they fell a lot before they learned it.
Strictly speaking, the three brothers and sisters have good balance and learn quickly.
"What are you two going to do in the afternoon?"
The three of them skated for about an hour and were a little tired, so they returned the skates and left the park.
Du Shaojie was going to the snack bar. After the incident with Li Xiangyu, the people in the unit were a little uneasy and needed him to stay in charge.
"We plan to go see Sister Meiqin, push her around outside, and then go home."
Xiaomei is now a grown-up girl, and she speaks and acts more maturely than before.
Du Shaojie nodded, separated from the two at the intersection ahead, and went to work alone.
Tan Xiaoshan's [Spicy Chicken] shop, the business plummeted, and soon put up a sign for transfer. But this incident did not affect the enthusiasm of others to open restaurants. New shops continued to open on this street, and the number has exceeded 15.
"Let's not call this road in front of our door 'Democracy Road', just call it 'Food Street'."
Dong Jun was in anxiety every day. Although he did not contract the snack bar, he cared more about it than Du Shaojie.
Look, when he came to work this morning, many people saw the big blisters on the corners of his mouth.
Du Shaojie was moved and amused, but people nowadays are really not used to the pressure of competition. If this were placed in the future, this little pressure would be a drizzle, and it would not be considered a roll unless you roll to death.
"In fact, 'Food Street' is also very good, Brother Dong. If you don't believe me, just look. In the future, more and more customers will come to this street to eat. This is called the agglomeration effect. With more restaurants and snack bars, there will be more choices."
Du Shaojie quickly comforted Dong Jun and explained what the "agglomeration effect" was.
Dong Jun was skeptical, but he was indeed not so anxious.
"Manager Du, someone is looking for you."
The two were talking when Huang Tingting knocked on the door of Du Shaojie's office.
Huang Tingting then stepped aside, and Du Shaojie saw Qi Yan standing behind her.
"Yanzi, when did you come back? Come in quickly."
"I just arrived today. I'm a little hungry, so I came to you for alms."
Qi Yan walked into the office with a smile on her face, and Dong Jun and Huang Tingting said goodbye and left with a tactful look.
Du Shaojie knew the time of the train from Beijing. The other party should have come here after returning home and putting down his luggage, which made his mood fluctuate a little.
"You just came back, why don't you take a rest at home? You must be tired from running around. Come on, I'll take you home and make you something delicious for lunch."
Du Shaojie went to tell Dong Jun a few words, then rode his bike back to Chunfeng Lane with Qi Yan.
He said he was taking her home, but in fact he took Qi Yan to his old house.
"Sister Yan Zi!"
"Sister Yan Zi."
Xiaomei and Xiaoya were at home, and Wang Yuxiu had not returned from the Lihua Street store.
Although the store now has a salesperson, Wang Yuxiu goes there several times a day. On the one hand, she needs to understand the business situation, and on the other hand, she needs to collect the business money in time.
