Chapter 345: There is water in the plastic bag



Just when everyone thought that the debate on "Is there a problem with the seafood stall owner's scale?" would end with Sheng Yuan apologizing to the seafood stall owner.

"Would it be convenient for me to borrow your cherry tomatoes and shrimps?"

The woman who had just claimed to be defending Lin Xue and stood up to help the seafood stall owner prove himself, then stepped aside, looked at the girl standing in front of her, and was stunned: "Yes, it's okay."

Although she was puzzled, the woman paused for a moment before taking the items out of her shopping cart and handing them over.

"for you."

Sheng Yuan: "Thank you."

Not only the woman was confused, but the people around her were even more puzzled, not knowing what Sheng Yuan was going to do.

Sheng Yuan took the bag of cherry tomatoes and shrimps and went straight back to the seafood stall.

I looked at the seafood stall owner and asked, "Can I borrow a scale?"

The owner of the seafood stall didn't understand what Sheng Yuan was selling and looked a little wary.

But when he heard that she wanted to use a scale, his brows immediately relaxed and he agreed.

He calmly waved his hand and repeated what he said.

"You can use it."

If he refused in public, wouldn't it seem like he was guilty? Besides, he was not afraid of just using a scale.

The more indifferent the seafood stall looked, the more confident he seemed.

It is precisely for this reason that many people are now on the side of the seafood stall owner, and they all agree that the innocent seafood stall owner is being picked on.

“…”

In four close-up shots, all eyes around were focused on Sheng Yuan.

At this moment, everyone is concentrating, staring and watching, as if they are afraid of missing any exciting moment.

Then.

Everyone saw that Sheng Yuan used the scale to first weigh the seafood and then weigh the cherry tomatoes.

Everyone was confused: ???

If you don't understand, ask, what is she doing? Didn't someone just weigh everything in public? Why did she repeat it? Moreover, the electronic screen showed the results of the weighing, the cherry tomatoes were still one and a half pounds, and the seafood was still two pounds, there was no change.

So, what was the point of her repeating it? Was she just being bored and having fun?

Sheng Yuan lowered her eyes and took down the shrimps she had weighed.

Then, under dozens of gazes, she untied the bag of shrimps.

Almost as soon as she undressed, Shi Yan, who had been quietly staying beside Sheng Yuan, took out a transparent, clean, ordinary plastic bag from the shopping cart beside him.

He opened the bag and handed it to Sheng Yuan.

The shrimps were pouring little by little from the original black plastic bag into the new plastic bag.

This action caused everyone to start speculating.

——Could it be that there is nothing wrong with the scale? The problem is not with the scale, but with something else.

And this 'other' refers to plastic bags?

Almost reflexively, everyone thought of the same thing - water was mixed into the plastic bag.

The act of adding water is used to increase the weight on the scale, thereby shortening the weight.

This kind of routine is actually a very common phenomenon, and it has been exposed countless times in the daily news.

However, despite this, there are still businesses in the seafood market that engage in such fraudulent activities.

If the owner of the seafood stall really did this, he should just prepare to be criticized.

But.

Everyone watched as the shrimps were almost gone. Apart from the inevitable little water stains, the inside of the black plastic bag was spotless.

There is absolutely no sign of deliberate dilution.

Not only does it prove that the seafood stall owner did not add water, but it also shows that the owner is very conscientious and filters the water before packing.

However, the eyes they looked at Sheng Yuan were full of a sense of "this is the opposite operation."

But no one noticed that for a moment, when Sheng Yuan was changing the bag for the shrimps.

The seafood stall owner, who had remained calm the whole time, suddenly changed his expression and his limbs tensed up due to nervousness.

A bad guess just popped up in my mind.

He watched Sheng Yuan pick up the shrimps in a transparent plastic bag and put them on his electronic scale.

The high-pitched, sharp voice came out subconsciously.

"etc!"

The shrimps were weighed by the seafood stall owner's hand, and the plastic bag was shaking twice, which showed how strong his strength was and how panicked he was.

“…”

The noisy surroundings were eerily quiet for a few seconds.

The seafood stall owner suddenly reacted and realized his excessive behavior.

An unnatural look flashed across his face, and then he cleared his throat and tried to explain himself: "I, I mean, you want to weigh it, right? Come, I'll help you, give it to me."

After saying that, his purpose was obvious: to take the bag of shrimps in Sheng Yuan's hand.

Touched the air.

Sheng Yuan opened her hand and said calmly, "It's not a problem. I can do it myself."

The seafood stall owner: "Let me help you."

Sheng Yuan responded calmly: "Just put it on, it's very simple, I know how to use it."

The seafood stall owner insisted: "This is my scale. I'm used to it, so I'm definitely more skilled at it than you are. Come on, give me the food."

“…”

Over and over again.

The owner of the seafood stall tried to snatch the shrimps from Sheng Yuan's hands and refused to let Sheng Yuan put the shrimps on the scale.

Sheng Yuan paused and raised an eyebrow: "Is this what you mean by using the scale at will?"

“…”

The seafood stall owner choked, but still continued to block the way and refused to move away.

Even the crowd watching could clearly see that something was wrong with him.

"What does this mean, boss?"

"Could it be that he really did something?"

"If it wasn't diluted with water, then could it be that the problem lies with the black plastic bag?"

"It's very possible. Look, Sheng Yuan just changed the bag and wanted to weigh it, but the boss suddenly got anxious!"

In an instant, all focus was on the black plastic bag that was replaced.

"Boss, please get out of the way! Let her weigh it!" Just by weighing it, the result will become clear at a glance.

"If they don't move out of the way, there must be something wrong! There must be something wrong with that black plastic bag!"

“…”

At this time, someone couldn't help but come forward and take the empty black plastic bag on the stall, ready to find out what was inside.

However, the seafood stall owner was quick-eyed and quick-handed and took it away first.

“…”

Whether this subconscious action is problematic or not is self-evident.
