The young man was very proud, thinking that he had finally succeeded. He immediately asked the lion: "Fifty dollars!"
"What? This is too much!"
"That's right, taking advantage of the situation."
"I think seven or eight dollars is enough. Don't go too far, young man!"
No one around believed that there were cockroaches in Hongshengmin Restaurant. This man had shifty eyes and it was obvious that he had bad intentions. Everyone understood what was going on, but they had no evidence to help Sister Hong.
Sister Hong looked extremely unhappy, but she did not refute and waited for Jiang Mingxin's next instruction.
Jiang Mingxin walked up to the man with a decent smile on his lips.
"Did the cockroach really come out of this dish?"
The young man said firmly, "Of course, how else could I have vomited it myself? I just got off the train today and took a bus here to eat. What's the matter? You Shenzhen people are so great that you gang up on outsiders? You don't have to pay me, but I'm calling the Industry and Commerce Bureau right now to report you!"
Wow, with just one sentence, it escalated into a regional conflict, and he even threatened to report it.
She absolutely didn't believe that there was no one behind him.
Jiang Mingxin smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow: "Since you said that the cockroaches were indeed eaten from this dish, then I have a question, and I would like you to answer it for me."
The young man curled his lips and said, "What questions do you have? Since you are so beautiful, ask it!"
"As far as I know, the cockroaches in Shenzhen are all huge, shiny, and can fly and swim. If you're lucky enough to encounter one, it could easily land in your mouth. But why is this cockroach you caught so small?"
After she reminded them, the guests who had not looked carefully just now now narrowed their eyes and looked over.
"Yeah, why is it so small?"
"I thought he had picked up half a cockroach and eaten the other half, but it turns out it was a whole one!"
"Even if the chef is blind, there's no way he can't see a cockroach that big!"
Seeing everyone talking about it, the young man suddenly became anxious, "What if this is a cockroach larva?"
Jiang Mingxin asked the aunt next to her: "Do you think this looks like a larva?"
The old lady looked at it carefully for a long time, shaking her head like a rattle. "No! I've lived in Shenzhen for so many years, and I've never seen such a delicate cockroach. Look at its wings, they're so short and small, even the larvae are bigger than it!"
Everyone talked at once and soon pieced together the truth.
The cockroach the young man found in the dish was actually a northern cockroach, which is completely different from the southern cockroach.
Because Sister Hong is from the north and the store often does disinfection, she didn't notice the difference between cockroaches in the north and south at all.
The young man's lie was exposed. He looked embarrassed for a moment, his face flushed, and he tried to run out with his hands covering his face. However, he was caught by a caring old man and woman and taken directly to the police station.
Because of this incident, Hongshengmin Restaurant became even more famous.
It turned out that this man was a gangster from outside the area, who had used this method to eat countless free meals in other places. However, this time he met the meticulous Jiang Mingxin, who exposed his true colors in just a few words.
Jiang Mingxin warned Sister Hong: "If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, don't panic. Stay calm and you will naturally find the other party's loopholes."
Sister Hong taught me another lesson, and I was so impressed.
“Oh, it would be nice if there were surveillance.”
But the video equipment of that era was too expensive and could only be imported from abroad. There was none in China at all. Jiang Mingxin had no way to arrange it for the time being and could only ask the waiter to pay more attention.
Afterwards, Jiang Mingxin packed his luggage and prepared to return to Licheng.
Deng Jianguo and Qiao Ni went to the station to see him off. Jiang Bin was carrying a large luggage bag filled with local specialties purchased by Jiang Mingxin.
She planned to take it back and share it with Grandpa Fang, Teacher He and Xing Haodong's colleagues.
Before entering the gate, Joni quietly handed her a pink paper box.
Jiang Mingxin blinked, "What?"
Qiao Ni lowered her voice and whispered in her ear, "Good stuff. You're still growing, so you must wear something nice. My aunt brought me two sets from Hong Kong, and I'll give you one."
Jiang Mingxin suddenly realized that it had to be said that only girls could think of such things.
She thanked Joni, held the cardboard box in her arms with a smile, and stuffed it into the trunk as soon as she got in the car.
When I got home on Friday, I quickly unpacked my luggage and threw everything that needed to be washed into a basin to soak. Then I opened the powder box and took out the cute little things inside to wash them.
I have been away from home for five days and I don’t know how Xing Haodong’s injury has recovered.
She didn't have time to do anything else, so she went to buy vegetables and cook. Just as she started to stew the beef bone soup, she heard the sound of a door opening outside.
Jiang Mingxin was slightly startled and hurried over, only to see Xing Haodong standing at the door, supported by Jiang Bin.
"Why are you back? Are you discharged so soon?"
She quickly reached out to help, but when Jiang Bin saw her hugging Xing Haodong's waist, he immediately let go.
"Sister-in-law, the eldest son insisted on being discharged from the hospital. He said that he was annoyed by those people every day. So he took advantage of the afternoon visitor ban and quickly completed the discharge procedures."
As he spoke, he brought in Xing Haodong's bag.
Wudi has been in the care of Grandpa Fang these days. He is not at home now, otherwise he would definitely wag his tail and pounce on him.
"Come, sit down first."
Jiang Mingxin helped Xing Haodong to the sofa bed and reached out to lift his clothes.
"What are you doing?" Xing Haodong held her hand, his ears reddened, and he raised his chin towards her: "Binzi is still here."
"I'm just taking a look at your injuries! What did the doctor say? Can you really be discharged?"
Jiang Mingxin ignored her objection and lifted his thermal underwear a little from the bottom, just enough to see the wound.
