In the evening, Qianxiao received a call from Uncle Wei before going home, asking him to bring Uncle Wei and Ge Chunmei to the house together, and there was something to announce.

When the three of them got home, they saw Wei Jili waiting for him on the sofa in the living room, and the expression on his face was stern.

"Little uncle, is the result of the inspection not good?" asked with a light smile.

"Sit down." Wei Jili rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the three people in front of him and sighed: "The news I got from the Health Bureau today is that the ingredients brought back from your hot pot restaurant were detected in the soup with ethyl maltol, propylene glycol, and edible spices, which confirmed that there was a problem with your soup. ”

"What is this?" Ge Chunmei asked incomprehensibly.

Wei Jili looked at Qianxiao and Lin Jianjun, and saw that these two people were also equally confused. Explained: "Ethyl maltol, propylene glycol, and food flavoring are food additives, and the three together are our common food additives called a drop of incense. In the catering market, especially noodle shops, rice noodle shops, and hot pot restaurants are common foods. It's unusually hot, and I heard that there are still those that are out of stock. It is advertised as a drop that can make a pot of water exude fragrance, the taste is what you want, chicken, beef, mutton, everything, only you can't think of it, no drop of incense can't be made. ”

"How did this thing end up in our hot pot restaurant?" Lin Jianjun looked at Ge Chunmei very strangely, "Sister Ge, have you ever asked the people below to buy such a thing?" ”

"Nope." Ge Chunmei firmly vetoed, "Our hot pot restaurant said with a smile from the beginning that it must be delicious, the ingredients are fresh, and the price is affordable. Therefore, our soup base is really made of large bones, without adding a little additives, pure broth. It is still boiled every day and poured out overnight, which should be the reason why our business is booming because we can satisfy our customers. ”

"Little uncle, I believe that Uncle Xiao and Aunt Ge will not make this kind of trick of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, since they said that they have not done it, then there must not be." Qianxiao was afraid that Wei Jili would not believe these two people, so he explained anxiously.

"I believe it." Wei Jili was amused by Xiaoxiao's explanation: "Xiaoxiao, the little uncle is so brainless? Can't I tell if what they're saying is true or false? ”

"Uh, this ......" she was embarrassed, she was just too anxious, and if something like this happened, she was afraid that if something bad happened to everyone, it would hit everyone's morale.

"I know." Wei Jili held down a light smile and continued to say, "It's just that I believe it's useless, and it is the way out to make all consumers believe." When the government's inspection report is announced, all the people will know that your shop uses a drop of incense on the soup base, no matter how good you say, it is useless, others want evidence, seek truth from facts, and be responsible for the safety of their own lives. ”

Regarding Wei Jili's words, Lin Jianjun and Ge Chunmei were silent. Yes, no matter how good I say, no matter how fanciful it is, I can't stand an announcement from the government.

"Uncle, Aunt Ge, I learned in the company that the same situation occurs in all the hot pot restaurants under our company, but the severity of the matter is different." Said with a light smile.

"All of them?" Lin Jianjun was shocked, and looked at him with a light smile in disbelief. "Are you sure?"

"Xiaoxiao, how can this be?" Ge Chunmei had a feeling that the sky was falling.

"Brother-in-law, you just said that this drop of incense is very popular now, and it is almost out of stock, does that mean that many food stores are using it?" Lin Jianjun asked, as if the issue was important to him.

"Yes, so to speak." Virgil gave an affirmative answer. "Even the people from the Health Bureau also said, especially the kind of snack shop, the business is super good, the price is also affordable, in the soup is boiled with this drop of incense instead, it can be said that their cost is very cheap, this small bottle of a drop of incense they can use for half a month, the principal is only 20 yuan. But everyone knows and I know, and they will not really check and test. So I'm also thinking, there must be a reason why your store is making such a big fuss this time. ”

Speaking of the reason, Qianxiao remembered his speculation in the company, and just said other things, so he didn't tell them what he had figured out. Now the topic has turned to this again, and only then did he say his guess.

After listening to the words of the light smile, Lin Jianjun and Ge Chunmei thought for a long time, and then Lin Jianjun said affirmatively: "Xiaoxiao, what you said is right, neither of us has given an order to buy a drop of incense, and now it suddenly bursts, and on the same day, at a time not far apart, all our hot pot restaurants have accidents, if this is a coincidence, then this coincidence is too coincidental." As long as there are people who have a good plan to do this, and then it is necessary to do it at the same time in the head office and branches, not only in the kitchen, but also in the head office, so as not to plan accidents. ”

"And my brother-in-law just said that many points are in use, and the Health Bureau also knows about it, which means that as long as this drop of incense is properly proportioned, there will be no food poisoning incidents. And not only a drop of incense appeared in our store, but also diners had food poisoning, what does this mean? ”

What does this mean? There is no need for Lin Jianjun to point it out, and there is no need for him to specifically explain it, everyone here knows what Lin Jianjun is referring to, and they also know the meaning of what he did not say.

"What's going on with your hot pot restaurant? How do you get food poisoning? Old Man Wei and Grandma Huang walked into the house with their front and back feet, and when they saw the four people discussing in the living room, they threw out such a sentence.

"Grandpa, how do you know that something happened to our hot pot restaurant? Shouldn't the news have spread yet? With a light smile, he looked at Old Man Wei and turned his head and asked Lin Jianjun: "Uncle, are you sure that you have settled those patients?" Won't make trouble? ”

"Of course, how could I be here?" Lin Jianjun said affirmatively.

"Okay, don't guess, the news has been released, and everyone on the street knows that I was still attacked by those old friends, saying that the people in our family are all black-hearted, making money with their eyes closed, and they don't care about everyone's life or death. The old man was really angry, and he didn't even want the demeanor that he usually paid the most attention to, and roared: "Listen, what is this saying, and there is something more ugly than this, I don't know how to say it to you." ”

Not only the old man, but also Grandma Huang's face was unswerving, sitting on the single sofa, "I just went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and was thrown rotten vegetable leaves?" Laughing, what the hell is going on? Did you really put that food additive called Yidi Xiang in the soup base as it was said on the news? ”

"Grandma, grandpa, you don't believe me when you get it? Don't believe that our store will do such a thing without conscience and character? A light smile called aggrievedly.

"We were also angry with people outside for a while, so we said hurtful things. I often go to help in your store, how can I not believe you? The old man and Grandma Huang were a little sneering about the complaints and grievances of the light smile.

"Mom and Dad, what news did you just say?" Wei Jili is not like a light smile, but he is still coquettish with the old man and the old lady.

"Why don't you know about the radio news in our South City?" Now it was the old man's turn to be surprised.

"There was no attention and no news was received." Lin Jianjun shook his head, "Does this mean that our hot pot restaurant can't be opened?" ”

As soon as the words fell, except for Xiaoxiao, Grandma Wang and Old Man Wei, the phones of the other three people rang at this time.

While putting down the phone, the three of them looked at each other and said at the same time, "You also received the message?" ”

"What's the situation?" A light smile asked the three of them.

"I received the news that our store was photographed by someone from the TV station, and it has been broadcast on TV according to the big news just now, and the above attaches great importance to this matter, and if it is not handled well, it is really facing the possibility of being closed down. There is also this news that will appear in the evening Nanshi news broadcast. Lin Jianjun smiled bitterly and said the news he had received.

"How so?" Xiaoxiao recalled carefully, "I didn't see anyone from the TV station when I was in the hospital?" ”

"It's not the head office, it's a branch, one of the people who ate hot pot in the No. 3 branch and had symptoms of poisoning was a team leader of the news department of Nanshi TV station, he happened to go back to his hometown to visit his parents today, and he met an old classmate to invite him to dinner, and he happened to be in your No. 3 hot pot branch. After such an incident, he immediately relied on the intuition and sensitivity of a news person to notify his colleagues, and at the same time criticized the superiors, and handled the news as a mega news. Wei Jili said the news he had gotten. Obviously, such news is not so detailed that Lin Jianjun, Ge Chunmei and others can know.

"This is a trap, a news topic that journalists can discover by themselves, not someone else's revelations, and there is no way to find evidence for a tricky event." Light smile analyzes the truth of this matter after calming down.

"Could it be our competitors?" Ge Chunmei asked suspiciously: "In the hot pot industry, we can say that we are the boss, and other hot pot restaurants are either closed down or unable to open, or they use price reductions to attract customers." No matter what, if we dare to say second, no one dares to say first. ”

"I feel like I'm still very gentle in business, and I've always had some leeway. Doesn't it mean that you will leave a line in doing things and see each other in the future? Lin Jianjun said with a gloomy face.

"Maybe our hot pot restaurant in J province is not the boss of the industry, but in Nanshi, we are NO1, and there must be a lot of jealous people, no matter what your previous form and style were, but little uncle, you must know that the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and the forgiveness of the enemy is cruel to yourself." A light smile said to Lin Jianjun very seriously.

"After being taught, I really brought the formal style in school to society, and I really shouldn't be." Lin Jianjun also realized in this incident that this was not at school after all, there was no such peace, and now he was in a state of panic.

"Bell bell bell ......"

"Smile, your mother's phone." Wei Jili held the microphone and said with a light smile.

"Okay, I know. …… Well, we're thinking of a remedy now...... No, no...... You can rest assured, it's okay. Hung up the phone and explained to the people who were looking at him: "Mom heard about our hot pot restaurant at school, and now she is also anxious, and she wants to ask for leave in the afternoon and come back but I dissuade her." ”

"Yes, you did the right thing. A large number of people may not be able to solve the problem, but Mi'er still let her attend classes at school, and there is no need to ask for leave for this matter. She couldn't help when she came, and she was worried. Old Man Wei gave a thumbs up to the light smile.

"Look." Lin Jianjun didn't know when to turn on the TV, and it happened that the news was being broadcast inside. "It's midday news in Province J, and it looks like something has gone wrong."

Xiaoxiao and her family sat around the sofa and watched the news in front of them on the TV. When the news broadcast ended, Lin Jianjun and Ge Chunmei were bloodless, staring at the TV in a daze, unable to speak anymore.

"Xiaoxiao, did you ask the company to count the list of victims?" Wei Jili asked.

"It's out, and there are as many as three hundred and eighteen people poisoned this time." The light smile is also very heavy when talking about the main question.

"Are you doing anything now?" Old Man Wei asked.

"Yes, my uncle told the patient's family in the hospital just now that we will pay all the medical expenses this time. We also communicated with the hospital. Now I have asked the managers of each store to go to the hospital to comfort the patients and their families, and try to negotiate with them to meet everyone's satisfaction. But we've paid for these people's treatments. A light smile sighed helplessly.

"Xili, you accompany me to the study to make a phone call." Old Man Wei seemed to have made some kind of determination, and took the lead towards the study, followed by Wei Jili.

Qianxiao held Grandma Huang's hand a little nervously, he knew that the call that the old man and Uncle Wei went to the study must be related to him, and it was connected to the hot pot restaurant this time, and the old man must have asked for help from some people he didn't want to ask for, and he was so embarrassed just now. Light smile felt that she was a little selfish. looked at Grandma Huang's caring and kind gaze, opened her mouth, and finally gave up helplessly.

"It's not as strict as you think." Grandma Huang seemed to know what to say, and patted her hand, "Your little uncle's business has not been smooth sailing until now, and there are ups and downs, if he can't do this little thing well, he won't make such a big family business." Believe Grandma and rejoice, eh? ”

"Okay." Xiaoxiao knew that Grandma Huang was doing it for her own good. also knows that what she said is the truth, the little uncle's time in the mall can be said to be dozens of times his own, if there is no means and skills, how can there be today's achievements.

"Laugh, the phone in your bag is ringing." Ge Chunmei reminded the shallow smile that was quiet in her thoughts. (To be continued.) )
