After Pei Yang carefully looked at the flower cakes and cockroaches in the box, he apologized to the other party, then politely asked for the other party's name and found the corresponding order.

The woman's name is Shi Yanyan. She ordered a pound of flower cakes yesterday.

"Big sister, how about this? We will refund you the money you spent on the flower cakes and give you an extra three pounds of flower cakes."

"Bah! Are you sending away beggars? I don't want even thirty pounds, not to mention three pounds. Your cakes are so dirty, I dare not eat them anymore."

The several women who had previously cooperated with Shi Yanyan all clamored for compensation.

Pei Yang said again: "Sister, if you don't want the flower cake, then I will compensate you with twelve yuan according to the price of the flower cake, how about that?"

Shi Yanyan snorted coldly, "I'm not an unreasonable person. Since you are so sincere, just compensate me a hundred yuan and let this matter go."

One hundred yuan is equivalent to two months' salary of an ordinary worker.

Pei Yang smiled and said, "One hundred yuan, is it enough for so many of you?"

Shi Yanyan's face suddenly changed, and the other women in her group also looked guilty and frightened.

Pei Yang picked up the half piece of flower cake with cockroach in the filling, and then picked up the other half, and put them together, and it was just a complete flower cake.

He showed the assembled flower cake to the public, "Our flower cakes and egg yolk cakes at Mingzhu Food Court are all made of puff pastry, and they are freshly baked that day, so the puff pastry is very crispy and breaks easily. So we usually remind customers to hold the cake flat when eating, and it is best to put a handkerchief under the chin to prevent the puff pastry crumbs from falling on the body and clothes."

"When I was observing the flower cakes just now, I also observed Ms. Shi Yanyan's hands. Her skin was rough, her joints were thick, there was dirt between her nails, and there were thick calluses on the palms of both hands. I guess her work must be very hard."

"You spent so much hard-earned money to buy such an expensive flower cake, you should have savored it carefully. How could you bear to break it into pieces, and then find a cockroach?"

After hearing what Pei Yang said, the onlookers suddenly felt that it made sense.

Flower cakes cost five yuan per pound, and there are ten cakes in a pound, which means one flower cake costs fifty cents. Ordinary people would have to pick up and eat the crumbs that fell on the ground if they eat such expensive cakes.

Shi Yanyan doesn't look like a rich person. She bought the cake but didn't eat it. Instead, she broke it into pieces. This is indeed suspicious.

Pei Yang suddenly changed his face and attacked, catching Shi Yanyan off guard. She panicked and wanted to quibble, but Pei Yang didn't give her a chance at all. He hit Shi Yanyan dizzy with a combination of punches.

"Our flower cakes have to be baked at a high temperature of 120 to 150 degrees for half an hour. If a cockroach really got mixed into the filling, it would have been cooked long ago. May I ask, Miss Yao, why is this cockroach raw?"

Shi Yanyan was speechless.

The onlookers suddenly realized that this was a deliberate attempt to cause trouble in order to extort money.

The onlookers condemned and cursed Shi Yanyan.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shi Yanyan wanted to leave, but Pei Yang had already informed the security department of the shopping mall.

The Security Department directly sent Shi Yanyan to the police station.

Before the crowd dispersed, Pei Yang took the opportunity to explain and promote the food factory.

"We are indeed a small business, but our food safety and hygiene can definitely stand up to scrutiny, and everyone is welcome to visit our factory for supervision!"

An old customer who had bought flower cakes came forward to help speak up, "I've bought flower cakes several times and never had any problems."

Manager Yao happened to receive the news and came to check the situation. Hearing this, he said, "Please rest assured, our Friendship Mall's business philosophy is integrity and quality first. Any brand with quality problems will not have the opportunity to enter our mall."

With Manager Yao's endorsement, this crisis was finally overcome successfully.

After the customers left, Pei Yang asked Luo Xiaofang to pack some apple candies, while he went outside to call Shen Mingzhu on a public phone. He then bought some fruits and a pack of high-end cigarettes, took them together and went to thank Manager Yao, then went to the police station.

Shi Yanyan is a rural woman who came to the city to work. After entering the police station, she confessed everything.

After returning to the factory from the police station, Pei Yang vividly told Shen Mingzhu the process of his battle of wits with Shi Yanyan.

"…The mastermind behind this is named Hong Jinbao. He said he was short of money recently and wanted to extort some money from us because we were doing well. Shi Yanyan is one of his lovers, and the others are all from the same hometown as Shi Yanyan."

The matter was resolved and the troublemaker was arrested, and Shen Mingzhu felt relieved.

Knowing that the man had not eaten lunch yet, she held her waist and went to the canteen kitchen to prepare a bowl of noodles for him.

Pei Yang followed her happily.

The flat shoes that Shen Mingzhu wore made his 1.88-meter tall stature look petite and delicate. From a distance, he looked like Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.

"Wife, how did I do today?"

"good."

Shen Mingzhu stood by the stove, waiting for the water to boil, and asked curiously, "How do you know the cockroaches are raw?"

"I don't know whether the cockroach was raw or cooked, but the color of the cockroach was wrong. Our rose jam is made from fresh petals. If a cockroach had fallen into it, it would have turned red long ago."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

That's true.

Shen Mingzhu touched his head and said, "Very smart."

Pei Yang bent his waist in cooperation, "What's the reward?"

Facing the man's black eyes that were sparkling with expectation, Shen Mingzhu snorted and took back her hand, "I'm cooking noodles for you, how about adding an egg to it?"

Pei Yang hooked his fingers on her palm and said, "Not enough."

Shen Mingzhu slapped his hand away, "It's not enough, there's no more."

After a pause, he reminded, "It's been eight months. Be careful."

Pei Yang leaned close to her ear and whispered something while squeezing her hand. Shen Mingzhu said nothing, but her face turned red to her ears.

…

Since they could no longer use the Ronghua mooncake brand, the sales of mooncake gift boxes at the exhibition in the following days were very poor, which made Wang Hongcheng very angry.

You stinky woman surnamed Shen, just wait and see, if I don't ruin your shop, I'll take your surname! Closing the account book, Wang Hongcheng looked at his watch, took the car keys and prepared to go find Hong Jinbao to see how he was doing.

I had just stood up and taken a few steps when the phone rang.

His wife called and said that his brother-in-law Hong Jinbao was arrested by the police station.

Wang Hongcheng was overwhelmed and could only take the money and go to rescue the person.

Hong Jinbao's behavior was considered as hit-and-run, and the police station detained him for ten days and fined him fifty yuan.

Wang Hongcheng paid the fine and stuffed another hundred yuan into the bag before he got Hong Jinbao out.

As soon as he walked out of the police station, Hong Jinbao asked Wang Hongcheng for money.

"Brother-in-law, we have a deal. If I help you, you have to give me a hundred dollars as a reward."

It would have been better if he didn't mention it. As soon as he mentioned it, Wang Hongcheng almost exploded with anger.
