"Carrefour supermarket declares war on water-injected meat", the eye-catching headline on the front page of Qinxi Daily has attracted the attention of countless citizens of Fengyuan City. Of course, there are many people who grit their teeth with hatred.

However, since the day the newspaper published this news, the traffic of Carrefour supermarket has increased significantly on the original basis. In front of the fresh meat sales counter, there is a surging flow of people, from opening in the morning until closing in the evening, the counter is always crowded with people. Especially after work, during the peak hours of public purchasing, there is already a long queue in front of the counter.

"Observe the new cut of the meat. Normal meat is fresh cut and smooth, with no or very little juice oozing; There is obvious irregular light red juice oozing from the cut surface of the water-injected meat, and the cut surface is watery; Absorbent paper test method. Use clean absorbent paper to attach to the new cut surface of the meat, if it is normal meat, the absorbent paper can be completely removed, and it can be ignited, and the paper is completely burned; If the meat is filled with water, the paper cannot be removed completely, and the absorbent paper cannot be ignited with fire, or cannot be completely burned...... If you buy water-injected meat in this supermarket, you will lose 100 if you fake it, and you will lose 100 if you fake it," someone exclaimed in disbelief.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is our supermarket's solemn promise, one false one pays 100. You can test carefully, but, for hygiene reasons, comrades can only touch the test with their hands after paying for it. If there is a problem, you can immediately ask us to conduct a full test in public. We also have a lot of absorbent paper over there, so you can try it yourself, but you have to burn the absorbent paper at the place we designated," the supermarket staff took the trouble to explain to everyone over and over again.

"Why is it so troublesome, what kind of designated place do you have to burn a piece of paper?" someone shouted.

"This is also for the personal safety of the supermarket and everyone, to avoid a fire, so many people in the supermarket, casually lit a fire, ignited things, injured people, you can't afford to pay," someone immediately retorted.

"Little comrade, listen to what you mean, it seems that this meat is out of the supermarket gate and then found out that it is water-injected meat, you are not responsible?" An old man asked.

"Please understand, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, but also for everyone's sake, so for those customers who take out the supermarket door and return, we do not assume the responsibility of paying 100 for fake," the staff tactfully explained, "This is like in front of the bank counter, if you find counterfeit banknotes, you must raise them on the spot, after leaving the counter, and then say that the bank pays for counterfeit banknotes, the bank will not admit it." It's a truth. ”

Not far from the crowded fresh meat counter, three middle-aged people were watching everything in front of them with cold eyes.

"This Lefu supermarket really dares to promise, if all they sell is meat that is not filled with water, at their price, they won't make much money from it" The middle-aged man with a mole on his left eyebrow sneered, "Isn't this a loss to make money?" I'm going to see how many days they can hold on? ”

"Lao Lu, this deal can't be counted like this," the fat-faced middle-aged man next to him smiled bitterly, "Although their meat price doesn't make much money, and it may even be a small loss, but look at it, how many people have it attracted?" As long as these people who buy meat, by the way, buy a few goods in the supermarket, their deficit will be made up. This is selling meat, this is an advertisement in disguise."

The middle-aged man known as Lao Lu patted his head, and he had to admit that this was really the case. "If that's the case, won't they always stick to it?"

"Yes, I heard that Carrefour supermarket recently set up a new department, which is responsible for commodity quality testing, and the equipment inside is all provided by Walema in the United States, this fresh meat supply is only their first test result, in the future, all Carrefour supermarket procurement items, all must be tested there before they can be put on the shelves. If it doesn't meet the standard, it will be returned, and it will be disqualified from future supply," the fat man looked left and right, and said in a low voice.

"Didn't they take off their pants and fart for product quality inspection, which belonged to the national quality supervision department, and they weren't dogs taking rats - nosy?" Old Lu snorted angrily.

Standing beside the two of them, the middle-aged man frowned slightly. He is a section chief of the Fengyuan City Quality Supervision Bureau, and that Lao Lu is his brother-in-law, who also runs a supermarket, but this scale is far less large than that of Carrefour Supermarket. And that fat man, named Qi Yuanhua, is the manager of the No. 1 State-owned Slaughterhouse in Fengyuan City, and his brother-in-law is a classmate, and the fresh meat in his brother-in-law's supermarket is provided by him. It's just that it is said that Carrefour supermarkets do not have their share of fresh meat purchases.

This time when he came to Carrefour supermarket, he was dragged by his brother-in-law, and he bumped into the fat man again in the crowd. The three of them came together.

"Tenghua, don't you say that Carrefour Supermarket does this kind of thing obviously distrusts the government department?" Lao Lu said angrily, "Your leaders don't have any opinions? ”

Teng Hua spread his hands and said helplessly: "Brother-in-law, you are unreasonable, this approach of Carrefour supermarket, no matter from which point of view, there is nothing wrong." Re-testing after purchase is normal in many units. If nothing else, the banks will not open up the deposit network of our government departments, and our money will have to be checked one by one. And thermal power plants, just because they buy coal from state-owned coal mines, will be sent all the way to the boiler with a green light, right? In order to ensure the health of the public, people are willing to pay more costs and add a test, and our Quality Supervision Bureau can still make it clear that people are not allowed to do this? ”

Old Lu was speechless, and his brother-in-law, in front of outsiders, was not polite at all. This sentence choked him so much that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"This business is really booming, just this kung fu, it is estimated that it will have to sell 10,000 yuan" The fat man hurriedly played a round on the side and said, "You say, they are not afraid that someone will do things in secret?" So many people, when they come in to purchase, secretly bring a piece of water-filled meat, and then ask them to compensate after payment. ”

"Why not, I caught one in the morning, brought a small piece of water-filled meat in my pocket, and then made a fuss at the cash register, and even the police came. I don't know, Carrefour supermarket showed them any evidence, and the kid admitted that he deliberately came to blackmail other supermarkets, and was taken back to the bureau. Lao Lu gritted his teeth and said. The hand of Carrefour supermarket has attracted a lot of old customers in his supermarket, especially the fresh meat counter, which has not sold more meat than in the past day in the past few days. He originally wanted to find someone to make trouble like this twice, but after seeing the fate of that kid, he didn't dare to do it - you know, Carrefour supermarket and the police have a good relationship, if the other party catches any tricks, he will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

While he was talking, he heard someone in the crowd arguing, and the three of them hurriedly approached.

In the midst of the crowd, a young man was talking to a salesman holding a piece of pork weighing three or four pounds at the counter. "Why do you think this meat isn't on your counter? I obviously took the water-injected meat that you sold yourself from here, and I found out, why didn't you admit it? Is your fake one pay 100 just talking? It turned out that the young man handed the salesman a piece of back buttocks and asked him to weigh it and mark the price, and the salesman took it and weighed it twice, and suddenly said that it was not fresh meat sold at the counter. So the young man quarreled. Lao Lu and the fat man's eyes lit up, this excitement has to be seen.

When the crowd was neutral, they exchanged ears, and some people put the meat in their hands back on the counter, and some people also made a coax in the crowd.

"And where did you get it from?" The salesperson was not angry, and pointed to the counter in front of him.

The young man pointed to the counter in front of him and said indignantly: "This is it, I said that your supermarket is not talking big to coax people, is there any integrity?" Don't be a common man, just fool"

"That's it, don't fool us people, why do you say that this meat is not on your counter?" Someone in the crowd shouted.

The salesman smiled and said, "Comrades, Weishenme said that this meat is not on our counter, of course, there is a reason. Don't worry, listen to me, what I said is unreasonable, and it's not too late for you to scold me. Are you sure this meat was taken here, comrade? ”

A hint of panic flashed in the young man's eyes, and of course his meat was not taken from the counter, but secretly brought in from outside, thinking that he was fishing in the water here and blackmailing the Carrefour supermarket. If you lose 100 yuan, you can earn hundreds of yuan, which can top the average person's monthly salary. But seeing the salesman's calmness, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"That's where I got it" But at this point, he could only continue to keep his mouth shut.

"Look, is this piece of meat the same color as the meat on our counter? This piece is bright red, and our meat is dark red, and you see, this meat is a pit when I press it, and it can't be recovered for half a day, this is a piece of water-filled meat," the salesman held the meat to the crowd in front of the counter.

"Just because it's water-injected meat doesn't prove that it's not from your counter," the young man cried, "what's the matter, when you find out it's water-injected meat, you won't admit that you sold it?" I'm handing it to you right in front of everyone."

"Yes, yes, it's water-injected meat, it doesn't prove that it's not in your counter," someone in the crowd shouted, "Fake one pays 100,000 fake 100," Tenghua followed the voice and looked at it, and the person who shouted was also a young man. Listen to the voice, he was the one who kept shouting in the crowd just now.

The salesman smiled and said: "Yes, just saying that, it really doesn't prove that this meat is not from our counter, but you may not have noticed, we still have a camera here, whether he took it from our counter, you can tell at a glance." Xiao Wang, you go up there and take the camera down."

"Hey," the man next to him agreed, and brought a stool.

The young man's face immediately changed, and he turned his head and walked out, but before he could squeeze out of the crowd, two Carrefour supermarket security guards stood in front of him......
