Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 97
Shopkeeper An quietly listened to everyone's discussions, and also saw the pale but secretly smug expression of the scholar.

It seems obvious that this scholar was really instigated by someone to come to Han Wenxuan to make trouble.

This scholar was willing to spend all his money, bet his own body, and actually ate the spoiled food, just to frame Han Wenxuan.It's just that I don't know, what kind of sweets did the mastermind of the trouble give him to make it worth such a risk?
You know, if it is verified that the scholar is falsely accused, his reputation as a scholar will be gone.

Or, is he so sure he can't find out?
Shopkeeper An loudly cleared his throat amidst the discussion among the crowd.

Waiting for everyone to calm down and look up at him, he said loudly: "We at Hanwenxuan purchase dim sum, and we go to Jinji twice a day to get the goods. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Just to ensure that everyone You can eat the freshest dim sum. When the store closes in the afternoon, the staff of Jinji will come to order and collect the leftover dim sum. It is to prove to each other that this dim sum will not be resold overnight.”

"Besides," shopkeeper An said after a pause, "we store our snacks on ice during the day."

After finishing speaking, Shopkeeper An led the crowd and walked into the counter to look over.

Sure enough, at the back of the counter, there was a long and tall copper box.

A piece of thin silk was spread on the top of the box, and on top of the silk were a row of porcelain plates with snacks.There is a large net made of white gauze buckled on the top of the plate, which seems to be to prevent mosquitoes from biting the snacks.

Shopkeeper An first opened a round handle on the middle layer, and then pulled out a long, slender drawer full of ice that was steaming cold.

After showing the ice cubes to everyone, he opened the handles of the upper layer and the lower layer in turn, and pulled out two slender drawers containing a row of snacks.The dim sum was still cool.

The design of the ice mirror and the cover net was specially made by Jiang Zhixia after imitating the drawer type freezer in his previous life and the cover net used to store vegetables in summer in his hometown.It is to ensure the freshness and hygiene of the dim sum.

"It was really done very carefully."

"I may not be willing to use ice cubes to keep snacks at home. Nowadays, ice cubes are so expensive."

"Thinking about it this way, the new dim sum is cold."

"I've never seen this ice mirror before. Not only does it look very convenient to use, but it also has a lot of ice."

"Indeed. Such a box of ice can have two layers of ice, plus the top one, it will be three layers."

The people next to him saw how carefully preserved the dim sum, so they felt relieved and began to discuss.The direction of the discussion is a bit biased towards Bingjian. . .

When the scholar saw him, his expression became anxious, and he shouted again: "You said that you went to Jinji to pick up dim sum twice, and you said that Jinji would take back the leftover dim sum. You said that. Who knows if it's true? ?”

"I guarantee that what Shopkeeper An said is true." A loud voice suddenly sounded from outside the crowd.

Then, a tall figure separated from the crowd and walked in.He first greeted everyone, and then greeted Shopkeeper An.After seeing the ceremony, he turned to face the crowd.

"I'm the owner and shopkeeper of Jinji Dim Sum Shop. We, Jinji Dim Sum, have been in business for hundreds of years. The dim sum we make is not only sold to Han Wenxuan, but also to everyone, nobles and officials. Naturally, I don’t dare to do things that are self-defeating. I have a receipt from the warehouse and I have a small second to testify.” Jin Ji’s owner, Jin Treasurer, took out a stack of receipts and said slowly, “Everyone is a student, so naturally you can come to check the receipts. of."

When everyone saw Shopkeeper Jin, most of them believed it.

Jinji's reputation is not boasted by the people of Jinji, it is obvious to all.

"Maybe you guys are working together." The scholar became anxious, so he said without hesitation.

As a result, he had just finished speaking when he was interrupted by various discussions around him.

"impossible."

"Jinji is a century-old name."

"Yes, yes."

Hearing the discussion of the crowd, the scholar became even more angry and anxious, and kept looking outside the door.

"Who reported to the officer?"

Suddenly, a group of yamen servants walked in from the gate of Han Wenxuan.The leader was wearing a uniform for joining the army, and asked loudly.

Seeing the yamen servant, everyone was stunned.

Originally standing on the stairs, seeing Jiang Zhixia who was smiling when the situation improved, his face also became serious.

Since ancient times, people have not fought against officials.The same goes for shopkeepers.

Shopkeeper An saw the yamen servant, and was about to go forward, but was snatched by the scholar.

"My lord," the scholar bowed his hands to the leader, "I'm the official who is reporting to you. I'm eating snacks at Hanwenxuan, and my stomach was ruined."

Shopkeeper An also stepped forward at this time, and said with an apologetic smile to the leader of the army: "My lord, I am the shopkeeper of Han Wenxuan. I have just talked with Jin Ji's shopkeeper Jin, and our Han Wenxuan's dim sum There is no problem. This student may have eaten something else. After all, it is normal for a stomach to be spoiled by eating in hot weather."

The leader ignored the shopkeeper.I saw a yamen servant coming up behind him, and said arrogantly to shopkeeper An: "This is Mr. Zhang, our soldier who joins the army. Now that we have received a report, we will naturally come to investigate."

After hearing what the yamen servant said, Zhang Canjun asked the scholar to explain the matter in detail.

After the scholar finished talking about the matter filled with righteous indignation, Zhang Canjun asked shopkeeper An and shopkeeper Jin to also explain the situation in detail.

"Since both parties can't argue clearly, let's go to the Yamen and talk about it." Zhang Canjun said slowly, and then turned his head to look around, "As for this shop, we should close it before we figure it out. .The rest of the irrelevant people, let's go away."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the lobby.

Shopkeeper An and Shopkeeper Jin looked at each other without speaking to each other.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, there is a reason for today's incident. Please come back first. I believe that Han Wenxuan will be fine."

After all, shopkeeper An is an old shopkeeper for many years, so he calmly said first.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Zhixia who was walking up the stairs, and shook his head invisibly at her.

Jiang Zhixia stopped in his tracks.

Yes, now is not the time to be impulsive.

Obviously, it has been explained just now that it is not a problem in the shop.And even if the stomach is ruined, a lot of compensation will be enough, there is no need to report to the official.

Besides, they didn't see that scholar sent someone to report to the official.

In the end, people from the government office came over and said they were going to close the shop.

This must be a problem, and it cannot be solved by going to the government office with her.

Shopkeeper An was called to the government office for questioning. She had to find a way to solve this problem quickly.

As a result, everyone in the shop was cleared out, and even the clerk was allowed to leave.

Jiang Zhixia stood at the door, looking through the white veiled hat, watching the soldier join the army proudly ask the yamen servant to seal up the shop with a seal.

On the street, bustling people were pointing at the closed shops.

Jiang Zhixia's heart slowly sank bit by bit.

After finally getting a good shop, even if it reopens in the future, it will still be affected.
