The illiterate life in the Northern Song Dynasty

In fact, not only was there no fish being cooked in the kitchen, but even the disembowelled fish was not seen, nor were the internal organs of the fish.

The guests who were questioned were angry, and felt that Wei Shiyi was playing tricks on them. Just now, only one customer ordered fish. It is normal that Li's restaurant didn't start cooking fish.

However, Wei Shiyi was not as angry as they imagined, but asked them in a gentle voice: How many years has the Li Family Restaurant been in business?How is word of mouth?

The customer was even angrier, and replied: "The Li Family Restaurant has been in business for more than ten years, and its reputation is very good. But it is precisely because of these that we are even more angry!"

Angry at the Li Family Restaurant for neglecting their trust, angry at the Li Family Restaurant for feeding them rotten vegetables for so many years.

Wei Shiyi asked again: "How has the development of the Li Family Restaurant been in recent years?"

The guests were very angry, but perhaps because of their feelings, many guests sighed and said that Li's restaurant was developing very well, and there had never been any reports of getting sick from eating their food before.

Wei Shiyi asked again, "Since you all think that the Li Family Restaurant has developed well, and there has never been any incident of using rotten vegetables for food before, why did the restaurant explode this time? And it is still based on the development of the Li Family Restaurant. It exploded under good conditions."

How do they know this!

The guests felt that Wei Shiyi was still delaying time, and everyone had a bad expression.Some people had the same thoughts as before, but some people came back and said hesitantly: "Didn't you say that someone framed Li's restaurant?"

That's right, it's not just a frame, it's clearly driving the Li Family Restaurant to a dead end.

Wei Shiyi nodded and said, "Guest officer, you are right."

Then, under the angry and suspicious eyes of some people, Wei Shiyi asked Xiao Lin to bring the bucket in front of the guests, and said, "Guest officer, do you think these fish are fresh?"

The buckets are full of alive and kicking fish, each of which is very fresh.

When the guests saw it, they were angry, "This is a live fish, how could it not be fresh?"

At this time, only some of the guests were talking, while the other part of the guests remained silent, frowning together, as if they had discovered something.

"Okay, as long as you think it's fresh." Wei Shiyi smiled. "I want to ask you one last question. Since Li's restaurant uses dead fish, rotten vegetables and smelly meat for food, why do we still need to buy fish?"

yeah why?

"This morning, when we arrived at the restaurant, we found that all our fish and vegetables had been destroyed. All these fish were shared by the waiter and I from restaurants in the distance."

Some of the noisy guests quieted down again, and there were still some stubborn guests who insisted on their opinions.

From ancient times to modern times, there are many restaurants that don't care about the health of their customers and cook with substandard ingredients. Some customers die because of this, so they will severely punish one if they catch one.

"Who knows if you are trying to deceive others."

"Do you still want to say that people from other restaurants framed you?"

Wei Shiyi didn't care about the angry scolding of those guests, and gave the last dose of harsh words to those already shaken guests.

He turned around and pointed at all the kitchen utensils in the kitchen, and asked with a serious face, "If you still insist on cooking with dead fish in Li's Restaurant, then come and see if we have moved those dead fish and whether there are any dead fish in the kitchen. Fish viscera and scales, whether there is fish in the pot."

There were a lot of people coming, and those inside could easily see everything in the kitchen, while those outside had to tiptoe and stretch their necks to check.Those who insisted on their opinions didn't read it, while those who had doubts in their hearts could not help but listen to Wei Shiyi's words and check it out.

From this look, we can see some clues.

There was no fish cooked in the kitchen, and there was no sign of dismembering the fish. There were no scales or viscera of the fish on the ground. Some people were even more suspicious. The cooked dishes were not cooked, and they were left untouched. The dishes closest to the stove were all fresh.

There are various indications that the Li Family Restaurant did not cook with dead fish and rotten vegetables at all.Of course, it is also very possible that they are deceiving others, as those who persisted said.

What's even more strange is that since Li's restaurant doesn't use dead fish for cooking, why do they keep these dead fish and rotten vegetables in the kitchen?

Wei Shiyi didn't expect to dispel the doubts of these people just by relying on these few words. If doubts were so easily shattered, then how could there be so many misunderstandings in the world.

So he said directly: "If you don't believe me, then take us to the Yamen now and let them check whether we have used dead fish and rotten vegetables."

"By the way, bring the guest who exposed us, he is a witness." Wei Shiyi added as if he suddenly remembered.

Wei Shiyi wasn't afraid of going to the Yamen, but he was so afraid that it should be that person.

The guests around were hesitant to continue to take Li Sanshu to the Yamen. The strength of the hands of the few guests holding Li Sanshu was not as strong as before, but before they could make up their minds, they suddenly heard someone calling you want to where to? !

Everyone looked back, and saw that the person who said at first that the Li Family Restaurant made dead fish was timidly backing away from the crowd, and the people around him directly pushed him down.

He is running away!

There was a commotion for a while, and then silence.What is the truth is now clear, especially those few guests who insisted on their own ideas are even more silent.

The man was caught, and kept shouting: "I didn't say anything nonsense, that's what the little girl said just now, there are dead fish in Li's Restaurant, please let me go!"

When everyone heard this, their faces turned ugly.What this person said sounded right, but anyone who knew the truth knew that this person was making excuses.

Immediately, the guests didn't want to listen to the man's words, and the surrounding people tied him up together, and stuffed a rag into his mouth.

"No no no!"

"Take him to the yamen, you must apologize to shopkeeper Li, and make this matter clear!"

Xiao Chen couldn't help taking a step back, staring blankly at the man who was pinned to the ground.The man slandered the restaurant, but he really said that he used dead fish for cooking.For a while, Xiao Chen suddenly felt a little desperate.

However, at this moment, Uncle Li San suddenly walked up to Wei Shiyi, and said to the guest with a kind smile: "Everyone, today's farce is also caused by ourselves, how can we continue to trouble you? Just handle it yourself."

When the guests heard this, they quickly said that they would help Uncle Li, but Uncle Li insisted, so those guests had no choice but to give up.In the end, they regretted that Uncle Li was too polite, but those people said that if Uncle Li needed it, they would be obliged to help.

Uncle Li smiled, and then said: "I have delayed the time of the guest officials today. If you don't mind, I will be the host today. How about treating everyone to a meal?"

The guests were so embarrassed that they all said no.

However, Uncle Li insisted on inviting them to dinner. Not only that, he directly asked the chef to cook the dishes, and asked the two waiters to close the door one by one and greet them to sit down, as if they were not doing business at noon today , do not give those guests a chance to refuse.

China has had the custom of pleading guilty and making amends since ancient times. Firstly, it is to make people not to blame, and secondly, it is also to get a lottery to get rid of bad luck.

Everyone also knew this reason, so they shied away twice and then agreed, and the Li Family Restaurant regained its previous peace.

When everyone didn't notice, Li Sanshu asked Xiao Chen to bring him into the rest room to look after him.

Wei Shiyi noticed it, but he didn't expose it when he looked at Li Sanshu. Instead, he went to greet the guests with Li Sanshu.

At this time, there were more guests in the Li Family Restaurant than before.There were passers-by who had never eaten at Li’s Restaurant before, and there were also old customers who had been eating at Li’s Restaurant. At first, the guests were very embarrassed, but when the grilled fish and spicy pot came out, everyone’s emotions changed Change, Qi Qi swallowed.

It smells so good!

The previous farce took a lot of time, and it was already one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and the guests were already hungry.

Spicy hot pot and grilled fish on iron plate are both made with big ingredients such as dogwood and peppercorns. They are very stimulating to the taste buds, but now the guests are hungry, and their tongues are constantly secreting Drooling, stomach growling non-stop.

The grilled fish on the iron plate smells really good, just as advertised by Li's Restaurant.But no matter how hungry they were, they didn't eat their chopsticks.

Uncle Li took Wei Shiyi and brought a wine glass to the table, chatting and laughing with the guests, "Everyone, please eat, eat and drink well."

Wei Shiyi followed up and said, "Guest officers, eat and drink well."

All the guests were silent for a while, then picked up their wine glasses, stood up and touched Uncle Li, the crisp sound of the wine glasses colliding was like a signal, after Uncle Li and the guests at the first table drank, the lobby immediately changed from silence to lively .

The following things became easier and simpler. The restaurant was full of excitement, and it was no longer as stiff as before. The relationship between guests and guests became more harmonious, and even some unknown guests were happily together. chat.

Wei Shiyi followed Li Sanshu to clink glasses with those guests. When he walked to a table, he found that a guest was still very uncomfortable. When he looked carefully, the expression on his face became a little condensed.

"Guest, it's you." After condensing for a second, Wei Shiyi greeted with a smile.

Wei Shiyi didn't know the other guests, but he was relatively familiar with this guest.

When Yun San heard Wei Shiyi's greeting, he was stunned for a second, turned around and looked for a long time, and recognized Wei Shiyi.Then he stood up in embarrassment, smiled and said to Wei Shiyi, "Brother, how are you?"

The smile on Wei Shiyi's face deepened, "Hello, guest officer, eat and drink well, just tell me if you need anything."

Wei Shiyi was still a little happy in his heart. Although the customer Yun San disliked him, he still did not dislike the food of their restaurant. Wei Shiyi still liked this kind of customer, so his attitude towards Yun San was even better, but he didn't find After he followed Li Sanshu to the next table, Yun San became depressed.

Yun San felt uncomfortable and blamed himself. He claimed to like the food of Li's Restaurant very much, but he didn't believe what Li Sanshu and Wei Shiyi said just now. Became a member of escorting Uncle Li to the Yamen.

Hey, that man is really hateful, fortunately he didn't get away!

The meal at noon today is very unusual for Li's Restaurant, and it is also unusual for the guests.The door of the Li Family Restaurant was closed, and when the door was opened again to let the guests out, they were immediately surrounded by curious people outside.

"Did the Li Family Restaurant do such wicked things?"

All the guests smiled decently at first, then cursed that it was fake, saying that the food at Li's Restaurant was healthy and delicious, and finally left in embarrassment.

In the future, whoever dares to say that the Li Family Restaurant is a fake, they will have trouble with anyone!
