The next day, Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao appeared on the streets of Banshanfang.
There was an exquisite and gorgeous long sword at Li Yuanzhao's side, and he even found someone to customize a beautiful scabbard for him overnight!
It looks extremely coquettish when hung around the waist, and makes the person look much more heroic.
Fang Zhengyi seemed a little drowsy, obviously he didn't sleep well last night.
Looking at the crowds of people on the street, Li Yuanzhao said excitedly: "Old Fang, don't you want to find fault with my medical team today?"
"I want to see how you choose!"
"Okay, let's take a walk first." Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly and took a step forward.
Soon they found a restaurant and walked straight in.
Perhaps it was because it was still early and not yet time for dinner, there were only two or three guests in the restaurant, and the number of waiters was even greater.
People who run restaurants obviously have much better vision than ordinary people.
The shopkeeper at the counter at the door recognized Li Yuanzhao and Fang Zhengyi at a glance.
Immediately prepare to kneel down and salute.
Fang Zhengyi immediately reached out to hold the shopkeeper and whispered, "Don't make a sound!"
The shopkeeper smiled and chuckled: "Your Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Fang, are you here to eat something, or do you have something to ask?"
Fang Zhengyi looked at Li Yuanzhao and asked, "Your Highness, would you like to eat something?"
Li Yuanzhao touched his stomach and said, "Oh, just in time, I haven't eaten yet."
"Okay! Boss, go get some food and wine first. We'll have something to ask you later." Fang Zheng said.
The shopkeeper nodded and smiled, then turned and left.
Soon, several plates of tempting dishes were served, including a combination of meat and vegetables.
Li Yuanzhao was obviously really hungry. Looking at the dishes on the table, his appetite was aroused. He picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and started eating.
Fang Zhengyi took two sips and turned to look at the shopkeeper standing beside him.
"Boss, what is this dish called and how much is it?"
"My Lord, this dish is called Stir-fried Vegetables with Three Shreds, and it costs thirty cents a plate."
"This dish is called stewed mutton, seventy cents a plate."
“This dish…”
The shopkeeper was very excited. Without waiting for Fang Zheng to ask about other dishes, he introduced all of them at once.
The two ate and listened at the same time. When Fang Zheng saw that he had finished speaking, he asked, "How is your business now?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Fang, business is booming!"
Li Yuanzhao looked smug upon hearing this and happily took a bite of mutton.
"Recently, the health team has been asking restaurants in the area to renovate. How much did these dishes cost before the renovation?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression froze.
Hesitantly, Ai Ai said: "The same... all the same..."
Fang Zhengyi smiled and said, "Don't worry. I heard that the medical team had some trouble recently, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I came here to take a look."
"If you can't tell the truth, how can I help you solve the problem?"
"Don't be afraid, if you have any questions or dissatisfaction, just raise them directly!"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately breathed a sigh of relief and became more energetic.
He asked tentatively: "Then...can I tell you?"
"explain!"
"Your Excellency, our vegetable prices are actually 10% to 20% higher than before."
Li Yuanzhao tilted his head and asked curiously: "Oh? Why is that?"
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, slapped his thigh and complained:
"Of course it's because of the medical team! They come very frequently, every two days, every three days!"
“Every time I come here, I’ll pop into the kitchen to check on our ingredients!”
"If the dishes are messy or a little rotten, we'll throw them out. If they think the meat is not fresh, they'll just take a knife and cut off a piece!"
"They don't take much each time, but they keep taking it every day!"
"This is a small business, so... the prices of the dishes can only go up."
"But the regular customers couldn't accept the price increase and many of them left."
"The restaurant is mainly supported by regular customers. Now... all the regular customers have left, and the business is unsustainable. If it continues like this, I'm afraid I'll close the restaurant!"
As soon as the shopkeeper opened his mouth, all the bitterness in his heart poured out.
All the grievances I had been feeling during this period were finally able to be expressed.
Our restaurant is one of the earliest restaurants in Banshanfang. In the past, other gangsters such as the Fenghuo Gang always came to collect membership fees.
After some rectification, the hooligans stopped coming. Unexpectedly, just after two days of good times, the health team came again!
I originally thought that this group of people cleaned the neighborhood every day and were very concerned about hygiene, so I thought they were good people, but it turned out that they were a den of snakes and rats!
Just another bunch of hooligans!
The shopkeeper became more and more excited as he spoke: "Speaking of which, you two may not know that many other restaurants in the area have closed down recently."
"Many people can't stand their exploitation!"
"Let's not talk about the dishes. Just the idea of renovating the kitchen is enough to stump many people. There are many other problems... Your Highness, Lord Fang, if you don't mind, I can take you two to the kitchen for a look!"
Hearing this, Li Yuanzhao's meal suddenly lost its flavor. His face became serious, and he stood up silently, saying in a deep voice, "Lead the way."
The shopkeeper was overjoyed!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's behavior shows that he really came to solve the problem!
So he hurriedly led the two of them to the kitchen, and when they arrived in the kitchen, Li Yuanzhao's expression relaxed a little.
The kitchen in front of me is divided into several rooms.
The door of every room was closed, and waiters or kitchen helpers were going in and out of each room.
I always close the door.
The shopkeeper walked to a door, opened it, revealed the neatly arranged dishes inside and said, "This is the room where the ingredients are stored."
Fang Zhengyi and the other person nodded at the same time. Well done. It looks good.
The shopkeeper closed the wooden door, took two steps and came to another door.
"This is the deli!"
"This is the cold dish room... This is the vegetable cutting room..."
Every room is tidy and the neatly stacked items look pleasing to the eye.
Fang Zheng asked himself honestly, there is no way his own kitchen could be made to this level.
Li Yuanzhao was obviously very satisfied, and the medical team had achieved outstanding results.
After the shopkeeper finished introducing himself again and again, he stood aside, waiting to be questioned.
Li Yuanzhao asked, "Is there any problem with this? The health team asked you to make changes, and you have already made the changes here."
"I think it's very good. As for whether the health team took your vegetables without permission, I will ask someone to check and give you justice!"
After hearing what Li Yuanzhao said, the shopkeeper moved his lips twice and wanted to say something but now he didn't dare to speak.
He held back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and his expression looked a little grim.
Fang Zhengyi checked each room one by one, walked around the cooking process, and turned back to the shopkeeper.
Patting his shoulder, he said, "Don't be afraid, just speak freely today! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to seek justice for you!"
The shopkeeper was still a little hesitant and looked at Li Yuanzhao.
Li Yuanzhao agreed, "That's right. If you have any questions, just tell me! I will definitely help you solve them!"
