After listening to the guy's introduction, Lin Bining took the Longlou fragrant cake with a smile and put it on the tip of her nose to smell it lightly.
The ingredients used in this incense recipe are extremely complex, with a total of 25 kinds, and in order to combine these many kinds of incense materials into one incense, the materials must be very precise, and the aroma is completely different if one more point is subtracted from one point.
She nodded secretly in her heart, the Longlou incense materials in her hand were just right, and the incense materials used were all better, and then asked the price, it was fair, no wonder the Hua family could operate in the city for more than a hundred years.
Lin Bining was about to ask if there were any special incense products in the store, when a scolding voice came from the door.
"What a century-old store, actually cheated Ben Gongzi with inferior goods, black-hearted, don't pay Ben Gongzi today, Ben Gongzi asked someone to smash this shop......"
The person who came was dressed in purple and straight, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall cows and big horses, and angry eyebrows, followed by two small guys, rolling up their sleeves, as if they were ready to fight at any time.
Another guy in the store went up with a smile and persuaded him with good words: "This son, the incense sold in this store is fair and of high quality, which is well-known in the city." If Childe is not satisfied with anything, it is better to go to the backyard for a cup of tea, sit down and talk slowly......"
The guy said this to show that there was no problem with the incense of the Hua family, and secondly, he wanted to bring people to the backyard, after all, there were already people watching at the door, and it was rumored that going out would damage the reputation of the incense shop.
Lin Bining shook his head secretly, at this time, he was afraid that saying this would make the son even more angry, since the other party was menacing, he would definitely not give up, it was better to shout out the shopkeeper, everyone would be in front of the gong and drum, and speak clearly, so as not to misunderstand the onlookers.
The burly-looking boy didn't pay attention to the guy's words at all, pushed away the people in front of him, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, call your shopkeeper out!" ”
The guy was pushed by him and staggered a step, and was about to fall, and the guy who had called Lin Bining before hurriedly stepped forward to support him, he covered his chest that was hurting, and grinned with his teeth: "The shopkeeper is not here, and the son has something to tell me." ”
"This is the plum cake I bought at your house for thirty taels of silver two months ago, and I didn't burn it when I went out after I bought it, and when I came back to open it, I found that the fragrant cake was moldy!"
As he spoke, the man opened the incense box and showed everyone that the incense cake was covered with a layer of white hair, and it was indeed moldy. Everyone immediately pointed and whispered.
The man threw the incense box to the guy and snorted: "Keep your dog's eyes open, the evidence is in front of you, and dare to say that your family is not black-hearted!" I used to buy it in other incense shops even if it was left for a year, it's all good, it's not that there is a problem with your fragrant cakes! Either you will pay me thirty taels of silver today, or I will smash your shop!" ”
The guy opened it and saw the moldy incense pills, and said in disbelief: "This is impossible, this has never happened in the store, it is impossible......"
The Hua family has been operating in Cixin for a hundred years, with deep wealth, a strong reputation, and a very close personal relationship with the prefect, and no one dares to spread wild in the Hua family's shop, so the guy did not suspect that there was a problem with the origin of this incense, and he couldn't believe that his own incense was wrong when he saw the moldy incense cake.
Seeing that the guy looked like he was hit by dementia, and didn't say how to solve it, the man was a hot temper, and he suddenly became impatient, and waved his hand at the little guy behind him: "Smash it for me!" ”
Seeing that the two little guys were really going to smash the store, Lin Bining stepped forward and shouted, "Slow! ”
As soon as the man raised his hand, the little servants put down the raised incense box again, and he said in a rough voice to the white tender little boy who stopped in front of him: "Who are you, dare to meddle with the idle affairs of this son, and don't stand aside obediently!" As he spoke, he waved a hand at Lin Bining to push her aside.
Bai Yi grabbed the man's hand, with a strong hand, hooked his lips on his face, and sneered: "You can also touch her." ”
"Pain, pain, pain! Let go, let go! The man screamed in pain, and his whole face was crumpled.
The two little guys wanted to step forward to help, but Tao Yi blocked in front of them, staring at them so much that the two of them were so frightened that they didn't dare to move again, they were as honest as quails.
Lin Bining gently pulled Bai Yi's hand, he let go of the man, the man rubbed his hands, took a step back, and pretended to be hard: "Who are you, what do you want to do!" ”
"We are just people who buy incense, and we can't bear to see our son being deceived by others, so we just want to help you find out the truth about the moldy incense cake." Lin Bining smiled and said, took the incense box from the stunned guy, opened the lid and sniffed it gently, "The plum cake is engraved with the word "flower", it is the flower family's right. ”
The man snorted: "It's the Hua family who sold the defective goods to me at a high price, the black-hearted shop!" ”
Lin Bi stared at the man and asked, "Let me ask you, you bought this incense back, and you really haven't touched it?" ”
The man affirmed: "Naturally, I asked Ding Ming to collect the incense after I bought it, and the next day I went directly to the other place to collect the account, and the incense was only opened yesterday." ”
Lin Bining pointed to one of the little men with his head hanging and said, "You are Ding Ming." ”
The tone was affirmative, as if she already knew each other.
The little guy shrank his head and didn't answer, and the man replied, "He is Ding Ming." ”
"Okay, I have a question for your little guy." Lin Bining walked in front of Ding Ming.
Ding Ming raised his head and said with a smile: "Little boy, please ask." ”
Lin Bi stared into his eyes, bent his mouth and asked, "Have you ever touched this incense box?" ”
Ding Ming lowered his eyes and said, "No." ”
She stepped forward and asked, "Haven't you really moved?" ”
Ding Ming took a step back and tightened his voice: "Seriously." ”
**********
On the way back, the shopkeeper of the Huajia incense shop saw that many people on the road were running forward, and vaguely heard the words "Huajia incense shop", glanced at the richly dressed middle-aged man next to him, and hurriedly grabbed a person, and asked, "What are you going to see?" ”
The man replied: "Some people threatened to smash the Huajia incense shop, but they were all in a hurry to see the excitement." ”
After saying that, the man ran away without looking back.
Hearing that someone was going to smash the shop, the shopkeeper's heart jumped, and he said to the man next to him: "This, this, this, do you want to ask the prefect to send someone over?" ”
The middle-aged man said unshockedly: "Let's go over and take a look first." ”
Before the two came to the incense shop, the crowd had surrounded five or six floors, and the shopkeeper "passed five levels and cut six generals", and finally led the crowd to the second floor, just enough to see the situation in the store, but it was squeezed forward.
Seeing a young man coming out for the incense shop, the shopkeeper saw that the person next to him didn't mean to speak out, so he also closed his mouth, thinking that he was just a spectator like the onlookers.
