Since the man was a guest, Shu Hui smiled and brought him two roujiamo (Chinese meat sandwiches). The man, who had been holding his chin high, paused after taking a bite, then wolfed down both roujiamo.
Wow, it smells pretty good!
Qian Siwu wiped his mouth, still a little unsatisfied. No wonder Shu's roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) business is so good. Other places don't have much business, but this one is doing incredibly well. The roujiamo really does taste good.
Qian Siwu drank half a bowl of mung bean soup, then suddenly stood up, his eyes wide, slammed the bowl on the table, and pointed at it angrily, saying:
"How do you run a business like this! How can your hygiene be so poor! You can even find cockroaches in your mung bean soup!"
It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was packed. Qian Siwu was loud, and his shouts drew the attention of customers.
Shujia Roujiamo was the first in Deyang to have a glass kitchen, emphasizing hygiene and cleanliness. Shu Hui and Deng Fangping are both meticulous people who frequently wash their hands with scented soap and keep their hair clean and tidy. Customers feel more at ease eating the food they make than at home.
The most extreme customer didn't go home for a month and ate every meal here.
They not only ate there themselves, but also brought their wives and children with them.
The fact that they've eaten at the same restaurant so many times shows how much they trust the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop.
But now they are being told that there are cockroaches in the mung bean soup. The customers can't help but think that Shu Hui and Deng Fangping's cleanliness is just for show, and that they are probably very dirty behind the scenes. They also wonder if they have eaten cockroaches in the soup after eating it so many times.
Some regular customers glanced at the large cockroach and felt nauseous.
Shu Hui wiped her hands and walked over, looking somewhat bewildered upon seeing the cockroach.
"That's impossible! There weren't any when I was serving the mung bean soup. Our house is very clean, there isn't even a fly, how could there be cockroaches?"
In summer, flies and mosquitoes are inevitable. Shu Hui is a clean person. After cooking mung bean soup, she always covers it with a lid and then with a mesh cover. She also checks it carefully before serving it to make sure that no insects could possibly get in.
Shujia Roujiamo relies on word of mouth; if word got out that they found a cockroach in their food, their business would definitely suffer.
Shu Hui was extremely anxious.
"How is it impossible? Such a big cockroach came from your mung bean soup. If there's a cockroach in the mung bean soup, who knows if there's one in the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)? This matter can't be left unresolved today. If you don't give me an explanation, I won't let you off the hook!"
Shu Hui panicked a little, "Please don't worry, can I return the money to you?"
"Just give me a refund? What if I get food poisoning and have to be hospitalized? Who's going to pay for that? If I get sick from the food, your family won't be able to get away with it!"
Shu Hui asked anxiously, "Then what do you want? How much compensation do you want?"
Qian Siwu's face gleamed, and he slammed his fist on the table, saying fiercely:
"Give me at least 500 yuan in compensation! You also have to publish an apology in the newspaper, admitting that your Shu Family Roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop has cockroaches and that your hygiene is inadequate, only then will I let you go! Otherwise, I'll report you to the Industry and Commerce Bureau and call the police to revoke your business license! So you can't do business on this street anymore!"
Shu Hui was completely at a loss. She suspected that she had done something wrong, which was why the cockroach had gotten into the pot. It was normal for the customer to be unhappy to eat such a big cockroach. If the customer got sick and had to go to the hospital, it would be right for her to give some compensation.
But five hundred is too much. Where would she get so much money to pay back?
We won't compensate them; our long-time customers are watching.
Shu Hui had no way to explain it.
Shu Hui looked at Chu Yu helplessly, tears welling up in her eyes. Chu Yu smiled reassuringly, stood up by supporting herself on the table, walked to Qian Siwu's table, wrapped the cockroach in paper, and pulled it out of the mung bean soup.
When did you discover the cockroaches?
Her calm demeanor and unhurried tone made Qian Siwu somewhat uneasy, and he forced himself to reply:
"I...I only realized it after I drank half of it."
"You only noticed it halfway through the soup?" Chu Yu laughed, holding up the cockroach for everyone to see. "Look, the bottom half of this cockroach is wet, but the top half is dry, which means it's been floating on the soup the whole time. I want to ask everyone, even a blind person could see such a big cockroach floating on the soup, how could you only see it halfway through the meal?"
The customers were all taken aback by this question.
If you look closely, isn't that right?
Why is the bottom of this cockroach wet, but the top is dry?
Not a drop of water touched the surface of the soup, indicating that the cockroach had been floating on the surface the whole time. Chu Yu was right; even a blind person could see such a large cockroach, yet Qian Siwu didn't see it, which was clearly illogical.
Chu Yu smiled, pursing her lips:
"There's only one plausible explanation: the cockroach was put there later. Someone is jealous of our business and wants to ruin it. They deliberately came up with this malicious idea—finding a cockroach outside and putting it in the bowl to slander us!"
Qian Siwu was stunned by what she said. He never expected that the plan he had finally come up with would be seen through by Chu Yu at a glance!
Of course, he didn't know that Chu Yu had seen similar scenes in TV shows and movies. Fortunately, Qian Siwu wasn't careful enough. He drank half a bowl of mung bean milk, put the cockroach on it, and started acting, which allowed Chu Yu to find the flaw.
In his panic, Qian Siwu said in a harsh voice:
"So you're turning your back on us, huh? We clearly found a cockroach in your mung bean soup, and you're trying to shift the blame onto the customer! Is this how you do business? If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how tough I am!"
Qian Siwu was a fierce thug.
He flipped the table over with a single gesture.
The shop was full of customers, but the tables were overturned and the dishes were broken. Fearing trouble, the customers rushed outside.
The noise attracted many passersby. If this matter isn't resolved today, Shu's Roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) will lose its reputation.
Seeing that Shu Hui was scared, Qian Siwu became even more aggressive, saying, "If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll smash this shop! I'll make sure you can never do business on this street again!"
Chu Yu didn't expect him to be so ruthless.
She smiled calmly and said, "If you want to smash my shop, go ahead!"
Qian Siwu was stunned. She was a woman, she shouldn't be so scared that she wet her pants and begged him not to smash the shop? Why was she telling him to smash it as much as he wanted?
“You have to bear the consequences of your actions. You have to pay me back every penny of the money you damaged after I call the police. You not only have to compensate me for the tables, chairs, pots and pans, but also for the losses to our business.”
Chu Yu was beautiful and had an extraordinary temperament. Qian Siwu swallowed hard, feeling a little hesitant to make a move. However, he was paid to do a job, and if he didn't get the job done today, he would have to return the money!
Qian Siwu kicked the stool viciously, making quite a scene and turning the store into a mess!
"Trying to scare me? Do you think I'm easily frightened? You found a cockroach in your mung bean soup, and you still dare to be so arrogant! Today I'll teach you a lesson for others, and see if you dare to talk back to me again!"
