After the meal, Xu Miaomiao packed up her things and went out with Li Yi and Dabao. Gu Yuan's mother had been very tired these days, so Xu Miaomiao did not force her.
Now they lived in the county town, so it was convenient to come here. Xu Miaomiao packed her things, put on a hat, and got off the carriage with Li Yi.
"Master, why do you wear a bamboo hat on your head?"
Xu Miaomiao smiled, and Dabao beside her also raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but said nothing.
Xu Miaomiao then began to explain, "Since we are here to inspect, we naturally cannot let these people know my identity. However, this department store is right next to us. If I don't wear a bamboo hat, the people here will come out and bring us all the delicious food, and we will naturally lose the opportunity to inspect."
"I see. It's my fault that I haven't thought of this yet."
Looking at his appearance, Xu Miaomiao also smiled, and the three of them walked into the restaurant side by side.
Originally, this restaurant was not big, but the food was delicious and the prices were not expensive, so many people came here. However, when Xu Miaomiao came in today, it was lunch time, but there were still not many people inside, which was a bit unexpected for Xu Miaomiao.
Li Yi and Dabao were not that shocked. Running a shop business has its ups and downs. Even so, it is normal.
"Waiter, give me one portion of your signature dishes."
"Okay."
After hearing Xu Miaomiao's words, the people nearby left immediately.
The first thing served was a pot of wine. Dabao and Li Yi couldn't drink much, so they only got half a cup and took a sip.
Li Yi's brows showed displeasure. Looking at the color of the wine, Xu Miaomiao also took a sip without saying a word.
Dabao at the side said: "This is not the wine brewed by godmother."
"Yes and no."
Li Yi also spoke with some doubts, and immediately said when he looked at Xu Miaomiao beside him: "Master, what's going on? Why does the taste of this wine resemble the wine brewed by Aunt Gu, but not the same?"
Xu Miaomiao put down the cup in her hand, then looked at Li Yi and said, "Because water and a lot of seasonings were added to it."
"How can this be possible!"
Li Yi was a little excited and almost confronted the store owner nearby, but Xu Miaomiao stopped him immediately: "Don't be impulsive, find all the problems, and then catch them all in one fell swoop."
After hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, Li Yi relaxed a little and looked at Xu Miaomiao without saying a word.
Soon the dishes were served. In a plate of stir-fried vegetables, there were all rotten leaves and incomplete vegetables. Li Yi was very angry. He didn't expect that he would open a shop and it would end up like this. He was naturally very angry.
Seeing that Li Yi was angry, Dabao just patted him on the shoulder without saying much.
Xu Miaomiao took a bite and put down her chopsticks: "The taste hasn't changed, but the food is not good."
Before going south, Xu Miaomiao had actually been here, but the dishes here were not problematic at all at that time, so when she saw the dishes served today, Xu Miaomiao felt very jealous.
"Call your shopkeeper over here."
Li Yi couldn't help it any longer and spoke to the Russian waiter beside him.
Although it was noon, the business in the store was quiet, so the waiter naturally knew who he was talking about. He stared at the three people in front of him for a while before speaking impatiently: "Where did you come from? You want to see our shopkeeper? Go away and tell us if you have anything to say."
"Do you usually feed your guests rotten vegetable leaves?"
Li Yi stared at the person in front of him, the anger in his heart surged up, and he spoke to the person in front of him with dissatisfaction.
This look made the person on the other side stunned, but after coming to his senses, the man looked at Li Yi and said: "Who do you think you are? Of course our dishes are well cooked. What, are you here to cause trouble on purpose?"
"Bullshit, this is obviously just rotten vegetable leaves that have been processed. Do you think we customers are fools?"
“You, you, you…”
The waiter opposite was so excited that he couldn't speak. He stared at Li Yi for a long time without saying a word. Just as the two were confronting each other, the curtain was suddenly lifted, and a slightly fat man walked out slowly and waved to the waiter.
The waiter immediately walked to the man's side and whispered in his ear, "Boss, they are here just to cause trouble."
After carefully looking at the people in front of him, the man said, "I don't know what's wrong with us that makes you guys like this."
Hearing that the man's tone was quite good, Li Yi was also quite polite. He picked up the green vegetables in front of him and said, "It's not good for you to bring these rotten leaves out to buy."
"This young man is really joking."
The man suddenly smiled and did not continue speaking: "These vegetable leaves are all grown by Madam Yu from North Street. Madam Yu is old and has no relatives or children. She wants to do something to support herself. We really feel sorry for her, so we bought all her vegetables. Are you saying that the dishes grown by Madam Yu are not good?"
"Please consider that this lady is having a hard time making ends meet and just give her a bite. You can't argue with an old lady."
"you!"
Li Yi was speechless after hearing this.
Anyone present with any brains would realize that this shopkeeper was obviously selling inferior goods as good ones, and that Madam Yu was probably just an excuse. If they didn't admit it today, the shopkeeper would probably say that they were cruel. The old man had grown the vegetables with great effort, but he was wasting them like this, which was really heartless.
After all, he is right no matter what.
Seeing Li Yi suffer a loss, Dabao beside him immediately said: "Why use crucian carp to pretend to be salmon?"
Hearing Dabao's question, the man was not in a hurry at all. He just said, "The people doing business with us are all old boatmen on the boat. It's not easy to fish alone. Besides, this place is different from the south. This is Bai County, the farthest place from the river. The only small river is the one in Wangjia Village. Why do you have to be so picky? If you really don't like to barely fill your stomach in a small county like ours, why don't you go to the capital alone? It's a paradise for food. I believe you can eat all kinds of food there. If you don't have the ability to go there, even if you suffer a little in a small place like Bai County, what's the point."
