Chapter 68: The Green Bean Incident

The inspection team first checked the hygiene of the pots and pans, the variety and quality of the vegetables, and was about to enter the stir-fry place when a chubby middle-aged uncle came over with a smile under the leadership of the pasta master.

"This is the boss of a canteen, Master Liu." Yuan Wu introduced the two sides, "This is our Vice Minister Li. ”

"Hello hello! You are welcome to inspect and guide our work. This Mr. Liu held Li Bayi tightly with his chubby hands and shook enthusiastically.

Then he took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket under his big apron and prepared to hand them out to Li Bayi, who shook his hand, "Thank you, I don't smoke." ”

Yuanwu and another boy, Jiang Wen, took the cigarette handed by Mr. Liu and pinned it behind his ear.

After a brief greeting, everyone, accompanied by Master Liu, continued to check the cleaning of vegetables, the personal hygiene of the canteen workers and the stove, and learned about the work process and operation of the canteen while inspecting.

Seeing the students who helped the cook, Li Bayi also went to talk to them to understand their thoughts on the needs of the dishes.

After the kitchen inspection was completed, when Li Bayi walked out of the hall with the inspection team, the meal was already in full swing.

The windows were crowded with people, all of whom lined up with bowls, but they were in good order and orderly.

I saw the masters waving spoons in one hand and collecting tickets in the other, and their movements were very sharp.

The whole cafeteria was steaming.

"Let's see how many dishes are served." Li Bayi led everyone around the place where the cafeteria master was cooking from the back, and looked at the amount of food in their spoons from behind.

Li Bayi looked at the same meal, looked at more than 20 kinds of dishes in a row, and felt that it was almost the same, there was no big problem, and when he was about to turn around, he suddenly froze.

"Green beans."

A picture suddenly flashed in my mind: thousands of college students in Nanzhong Province were poisoned by food, five people died, and hundreds of people were in danger of life, which aroused the great concern of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, ambulances were dispatched everywhere, and major hospitals carried out emergency rescue day after night.

Among the five people who died, NTU alone accounted for three, in addition to one from the Normal University and one from the Finance Academy.

The culprit of all this is green beans. And it seems to be what happened during this time.

At that time, Li Bayi had just joined the Ministry of Life and was still an ordinary member, unlike the deputy minister who had already become a deputy minister after being reborn. After this incident, Guo Baode resigned ahead of schedule and was punished, leaving a stain on his life history.

Originally, I heard that Guo Baode was going to enter a central enterprise, but because of the punishment, he could only enter a provincial state-owned enterprise in the end.

But gold always shines, and I heard that a few years later, Guo Baode became the director of the factory.

Of course, these are all things that Li Bayi later heard from Yao Kuan, when Yao Kuan had just resigned from the Provincial Department of Justice and opened a law firm on his own with the help of his old father-in-law. And Li Bayi also happened to come back from Mongolia with a group of people to open a sales company in Tuocheng.

In addition, the incident also led to the dismissal of Director Zhang Shuguang of the General Affairs Office.

And the final investigation result of this poisoning incident is actually green bean poisoning. One is that the green beans are not fried, and the other is that the vegetable farmers have just sprayed dimethoate, and they pick it and sell it to the major school canteens.

Green beans are inherently slightly toxic, if they are not fried, the average person will be poisoned if they eat it, and coupled with the highly toxic pesticide of dimethoate, it is light to poison five people.

Of course, because of this incident, the vegetable farmer who sold green beans to the canteen was also sentenced to several years in prison.

"Don't be busy with this bean, I'll take a look." Li Bayi rushed to the window and stretched out his hand to stop the female canteen worker from selling green beans outside.

"What's going on?" Several students who were standing in front of the window were a little puzzled, and the boy who was about to pick up the food with a bowl was even more angry and asked directly, thinking that Li Bayi was making trouble.

Li Bayi ignored the boy, but raised the spoon, picked up a piece of beans directly from the spoon, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times.

It was indeed unripe, and Li Bayi spit out the beans in his mouth with a "poof".

"What's wrong?" The fat manager ran over and asked a little nervously, "Is there a problem?" ”

"This bean is not ripe, so it can't be given to the students." Li Bayi said categorically.

"Unfamiliar?" When the fat manager heard this, he hurriedly picked up a piece of beans from the basin, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, and said with some uncertainty, "It seems to be cooked?" It's just that it seems to be fried a little crispy. ”

"What is crisp or not, don't you know that this kind of green beans is poisonous, if it is not cooked, people will be poisoned if they eat it? I just tasted it, and my mouth is still numb. Li Bayi said a little angrily.

"Poisoned?" In front of the window, there were students who wanted to make green beans, female canteen workers who were cooking, and the fat boss were all taken aback.

"Don't beat this dish yet, take it to the laboratory to test it." Li Bayi said directly to Wang Hongqiang, who was newly recruited by the editorial team, "Qiang Qiang, you come and serve this pot of vegetables, and we will take it to the chemistry laboratory to show them." ”

Subsequently, Li Bayi said to the students who were cooking in front of the window: "We are from the school life department, and we came to check the cafeteria today and found that this bean may be poisonous." To be on the safe side, you have already beaten this bean, don't eat it yet, we will take it for testing immediately, and the results will come out soon. ”

Li Ba said as he pointed to the red armband with the logo of "School Life Department" on the arms of himself and his colleagues.

The chemistry building is not far, only a few hundred meters away. Walking on the road, not only the fat boss of the canteen disagreed, but even several subordinates of the living department felt that Li Bayi was making a big fuss.

But the results of the test surprised everyone.

In three minutes, with the help of a chemistry student who was doing an experiment in the laboratory, it was found that the beans were highly toxic. A bowl of beans can poison a cow.

At this moment, Mr. Liu, who was the head of the canteen, panicked, and the people in the living department were also dumbfounded: "It's really poisonous?" ”

The matter was immediately reported to Guo Baode by Li Bayi, and then reported to the school's general affairs office through him, Zhang Shuguang, the director of general affairs, had gone home from work, and after learning the news, he urgently instructed all the canteens to stop selling green beans immediately, and the specific matters were waiting for him to arrive to deal with.

In less than 20 minutes, Director Zhang arrived in a hurry, and he accompanied a cadre of the living department to take the other three canteen green beans to the laboratory for testing, and the results all showed that these green beans were poisonous beans, and even raw beans were very toxic.

When further examination was done, it was discovered that the beans had been sprayed with dimethoate.
