Chapter 109
Fei Yunyi frowned and said: "Hua'er argued in the hall that she really didn't buy stale meat. After I passed by, the butcher at the meat stall testified that it was indeed fresh meat from his house. Pork, there is no difference in the two catties. But for the rest, Hua'er can't produce evidence to prove her innocence, so I used Uncle Feng's name to protect Hua'er first! It's just that the county magistrate ordered that there be no evidence to prove her innocence. Until the truth is found out, our shop can no longer operate."

"Well! This is what it should be! Besides, even if we continue to operate, no one dares to come to our shop to buy things after this incident has caused such a commotion! It's good for everyone to take this opportunity to rest for a while!" Miao Yin Shu nodded and comforted Zhong Hua, "Hua'er, I know you will definitely not be the kind of person who would destroy your conscience just for a little profit, but, when you were chopping the stuffing today, did you find anything? Something's wrong?"

"I..." Zhong Hua sobbed a few times, and after Miao Yinshu's comfort gradually stopped her crying, she slowly raised her head and recalled while wiping her tears, "Early this morning, I followed the I went to the butcher stall to buy meat as usual, and when I came back, I took out the ginseng and pork and chopped it together. Then, the second aunt and the others came to work!"

"Did anyone enter your back kitchen during this period?" Miao Yinshu frowned slightly. It seemed that there was no flaw in such an ordinary process.

"No!" Zhong Hua shook her head without thinking, and Second Aunt Xiang and the others shook their heads too, it didn't look like she was lying.

"Hua'er, didn't you just go out today?" Shi Shi, who finally couldn't help but want to be concerned, suddenly popped up from the counter outside and asked.

"No! I went out at [-]:[-] Yinshi!" Zhong Hua said immediately, "I thought that the meat pies from the previous two days were sold out in one morning, so I thought I would get up earlier today , Buy more pork and cook more, it will be earlier!"

"Really? Did you come back at Maoshi?" Shito asked again full of doubts.

"Not yet! At Maoshi, I just walked back from the butcher's stall!" Because someone was on duty at the rice shop next door, Zhong Hua sometimes arranged a room behind the shop for the convenience of not rushing back and forth. , so as not to run on both sides of Shilipo and the county seat, this was also agreed by Miao Yinshu.

"Brother Chengzi, come here, come here quickly!" Shitou hurriedly called out Zhong Cheng from the next door as if he had encountered a major event, and asked before anyone approached, "Brother Chengzi, are we here right now?" Just woke up at the end of the five watch drums at Maoshi, and then seemed to hear the sound of a door opening in the backyard here?"

"En! Yes!" Zhong Cheng looked at the stone, then at Miao Yinshu and the others, and said, "Isn't that the time when Hua'er goes out to buy meat every day?"

"Hua'er, go into the warehouse to see the medicinal materials!" Miao Yinshu had a flash of inspiration, and immediately patted Zhonghua, and the two of them ran to the warehouse behind together with Fei Yunyi.

In the warehouse, the slightly pungent and slightly bitter medicinal fragrance was extremely weak due to the small amount of storage, but it still filled the entire room.

Zhong Hua opened the cloth bag containing a small amount of ginseng whiskers, looked at it, shook her head at Miao Yinshu in doubt, and said, "Miss, it's still ginseng whiskers, you haven't touched them!"

"No! No! It's already been dropped!" Miao Yinshu picked up two ginseng whiskers and bit them in her mouth, then went outside to spit and said, "Here are the bellflower whiskers! "

"What?" Zhong Hua exclaimed, but no matter how she looked at it, she still felt that the platycodon and ginseng whiskers that the lady said were the same!

Miao Yinshu sneered and said, "Moreover, it's our own bellflower grown on the mountain!"

"Yinshu, are you sure?" Fei Yunyi looked at Miao Yinshu solemnly, this was not a good result.

"I'm sure!" The platycodon root looks the same as the ginseng root, but there is still a difference in taste.The taste of platycodon is pungent and bitter, while ginseng is slightly sweet and bitter. No wonder some people in the crowd have tasted the difference in taste just now. Isn't this the symptom when people take too much bellflower.

She remembered that in later generations, she also heard that in order to earn black-hearted money, platycodon grandiflorum was used as a counterfeit ginseng to deceive some elderly people. She did not expect that she would really encounter it when she came to another world!
hehe!From this point of view, someone is really playing tricks in the dark again!
"Then let's take these swapped bellflowers and go to the county government to ask for an explanation!" Zhong Hua heard that there was a problem with the raw materials, and immediately angrily took half a bag of bellflowers and was about to go out.

"How can this be regarded as evidence, maybe we will be beaten up by someone with a heart, saying that we used bellflower to fake ginseng!" Miao Yinshu patted the excited Zhong Hua soothingly.

"But, Shitou and the others heard the voice, someone must have broken in to drop the bag while I was out buying meat!" Zhong Hua shouted angrily.

"Hua'er, don't get excited, what your lady said is right, even if we all know that someone took the opportunity to drop the bag, but now everyone in the county knows that our two shops are on good terms, even if it is Shitou and Chengzi No one will believe it if we come forward to testify! We can only investigate this matter ourselves, and we can go to the county government to deal with it after all the stolen goods are found!" Fei Yunyi said after taking a deep look at Miao Yinshu, who seemed to have a plan in mind.

"But, Miss, I, I can't swallow this breath!" Zhong Hua was sad and started to cry again, "It doesn't matter if I was wronged, I'm clear of myself and I'm not afraid of what others say. But, after such a delay, in the I don't know when we can find out the real culprit, we can only close the business, I don't know how much money we will lose. There is also the shop next door, which the person has promised to transfer to us next month. You might regret it!"

"Hehe! You little miser, why are you only thinking about money? You really have a fight with Lan'er!" Miao Yinshu pulled her arm and said with a smile, "But, in my In my eyes, I would rather lose some money than suffer grievances for those who follow me! So, don't worry, I will definitely find out the bad guys behind the scenes once and for all, and eradicate that hidden cancer!"

"Miss!" Now, Zhong Hua was so moved that she shed tears.

"Miss! Miss!" At this time, Zhong Qi's anxious voice came from outside. There was a little excitement in his voice, but also a little bit of resentment. Obviously he also came to the same conclusion in Xuanhutang.

"Miss, what is added to this minced meat is not ginseng but platycodon!" Zhong Qi, who was holding half a cake, said through gritted teeth.

"Well! We already know! This is the first thing to do, you should prepare quickly, the family members of those who suffered from diarrhea are about to come to claim compensation!" Miao Yinshu took half of the cake from Zhong Qi's hand and took care of it. road.

"Obviously we didn't do bad things, why do we have to lose money!" Zhong Hua immediately jumped like a little hedgehog when he heard that he was going to lose money.

Miao Yinshu couldn't help but sweat, why did she specially cultivate a little money fan?Are you a big money fan?

"It's okay! I'll let the person who played tricks behind the scenes pay all the money, and there will only be more and no less!" Miao Yinshu assured with confidence.

Only then did Zhong Hua nod with a pale face, expressing her absolute belief in her lady's ability, but then she stared suspiciously at the half-moon cake in Miao Yinshu's hand and said, "Miss, where is this half-meat pie?" here?"

"It's in the store!" Miao Yinshu looked at Second Aunt Feng Jiaxiang disapprovingly, and then glanced at Fifth Sister Zhong Jialian who quickly lowered her head, intentionally or unintentionally, "Second Aunt Xiang gave it to me!"

"Huh? Impossible, the meat pies were sold out at noon, why are there still leftovers? Second Aunt Xiang, did I sloppy read it wrong?" Zhong Hua scratched her scalp, very puzzled Looking at it, I attributed the fault to myself, "It seems that my brain is broken. Not only did people sneak in to change the medicinal materials, but I don't even know if there are any snacks left in the store!"

Second Aunt Xiang didn't speak, but just looked at Miao Yinshu and Zhong Hua, then lowered her head and remained silent.

On the other hand, Mrs. Lian Wu, who had been looking away, saw Zhong Hua blame herself like this, and finally couldn't stand the guilt of her conscience. Suddenly, she knelt down in front of Miao Yinshu with a plop, and said in a low trembling voice, crying : "Miss, the minion is greedy, and secretly hid it to bring home for the two children to try! Please punish the slave!"

Miao Yinshu gently supported her forehead. She really couldn't bear the habit of the ancients kneeling at every turn. Before she could speak, Zhong Hua pointed at Sister Lian's nose furiously and said, "What? Sister-in-law, you have hands and feet?" Dirty stealing things in the store? At the beginning, what did the lady say when she invited you in? Have you forgotten? Also, there are you, who else has this bad habit of screwdrivers, and recruited yourself early Otherwise, if I find out in the future, I will definitely not let you off for the sake of the folks!"

Although Zhong Hua was young and only a little bit taller than Miao Yinshu, her aura of cursing with her hips on her hips was as strong as her mother's, and she was full of vigor.

"We don't. I'm grateful for the kindness of the eldest lady. How can I do such a shameless thing!" Second Aunt Xiang immediately waved her hands and confessed. For the sake of the neighbors, she couldn't bear to say, "Actually, it's the first time that the old five's family reached out. It's her mother-in-law who is about to die, and she is so greedy that she wants to eat meat pies from such a shop. She I felt so greedy for the money for a while, but then I immediately took it out, and please forgive her for the sake of her timely repentance and filial piety!"

Mrs. Lian probably felt guilty, or thought of her mother-in-law who was about to die, but after saying those few words, she just bowed her head and cried, unable to speak anymore.

"You, are you saying that Aunt Seven is not in good health?" Zhong Hua choked suddenly when she heard this, her heart was also desolate, she immediately lost her momentum, and turned to look at Miao Yinshu pitifully.

Miao Yinshu is not a hard-hearted person, but he is worried that if today's matter is passed without any investigation, there is no guarantee that no one will follow suit in the future.After thinking for a while, he said: "I can understand your filial piety, and I respect you! It's just that it's always a bad behavior for you to steal things, which means that you already have the idea of ​​wanting to get something for nothing. If you can't stop in time, I'm afraid Will spoil my own hands, always thinking about taking advantage of others.

But since everyone pleaded for you, and you returned the items in time, I will only deal with you lightly.Although today's meat pies have been replaced with platycodon root, you can't eat them at will, but you should spend money to buy these two meat pies.As for, after the matter is found out, whether you go or stay depends on your own wishes!If you ask, I won't hold you accountable!If you want to stay, you will definitely not be able to do such a thing again!Do you accept my treatment? "

When she heard that she only lost two pies and was not fired and lost her job, Mrs. Lian was moved and cried again: "Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!"

"Miss! You are so benevolent!" Zhong Hua immediately flattered Miao Yinshu and acted like a baby.

"Okay! Since our store is closed for the time being, you can share the leftover snacks with Brother Liangzi and the others, and take them home for your family to taste!" Seeing that there are still some snacks on the counter Sweet cakes, Miao Yinshu said, and told Zhong Qidao again, "Qi Zi, when they come to claim compensation later, remember not to conflict with others, Mr. Fei and I will go back to Shilipo to catch the inside first." Thieves go!"
