Border Cook

Chapter 231 Vicious
"So, not only will I not forgive you, but I will hold you accountable for all the damage you caused me by putting coptis water in the water tank."

Xia Mingyue believes that she does not have the broad mind to repay evil with kindness.

What's more, if you repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness?

If you do something wrong, you must bear the consequences. This is an eternal truth.

It is also a warning to others who are thinking of making mistakes.

Seeing Xia Mingyue's resolute attitude, with no room for negotiation at all, Wang collapsed on the ground and burst into tears again.

Wang was probably extremely regretful at this time. After crying loudly, she raised her hand and slapped herself on the face, "You bastard, look at what you have done. How are you going to live in the future?"

But no matter what Wang said at this moment, everyone present was unmoved, and their eyes were even full of contempt.

Madam Xia is right.

When Wang did these things, she did not consider the possible harm it might cause to innocent people like them.

Since Wang is so selfish and cold-hearted, why should they bother to get close to such a vicious person?
Not scolding her at this moment is already a great upbringing on their part!
Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu soon arrived with the yamen runners.

The leader is still Captain Han.

Captain Han had dealt with Xia Mingyue several times before, so he was familiar with the situation. After hearing what Wang had done, he put handcuffs on her and handed her over to the constables for custody.

"Don't worry, Madam Xia. We will take Wang back to the county government office and hand her over to the county lieutenant for trial. We will give Madam Xia justice."

"Thank you." Xia Mingyue bowed, "Thank you very much."

"Mrs. Xia, you are too polite. These are all our responsibilities." Captain Han bowed and said, "But Mrs. Xia, you still need to be more careful in the future."

Xia Mingyue knew what Captain Han was talking about and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Captain Han, we will definitely take strict precautions."

Captain Han nodded and said, "Goodbye."

Then he and the constable took Wang to the county government office.

On the way back, Captain Han deliberately did not go through East Street, but found a small road to avoid being seen by Yueran Restaurant.

On this side, after seeing off Captain Han and his party, the suppliers of Xia Ji Food Stall and Oden Snack Truck all came to prepare to deliver today's food.

"I'm so sorry..."

Xia Mingyue looked apologetic and explained what happened with the Coptis chinensis water today.

"No food can be eaten. I think we can't sell our food normally today. Although someone is behind this, it was my fault for not paying enough attention to the people I hired."

"This is not Madam Xia's fault. It is really the Yueran Restaurant that is causing trouble on purpose."

Everyone rushed to comfort him, but when they thought that they could only suspend business for one day, they all felt very regretful.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, many people go into the city to buy New Year goods. It is a busy time, and if you stop business for a day, you will lose a lot of money.

But I am also very fortunate.

Fortunately, Xia Mingyue is very careful in her work and checks and tastes everything one by one to ensure the quality. Otherwise, if she had served this bitter food on the table without knowing anything, she would not only not make any money, but would also have to apologize to the diners and affect her own reputation.

More importantly, he was indignant towards Yue Ran Restaurant. He had done so many bad things before, causing great trouble and trouble to everyone. He thought that the county government would arrest Gensheng, which would cause a bad reputation for Yue Ran Restaurant and cause Yue Ran Restaurant's business to become a little bad. This would make Zou Fuquan learn his lesson.

Unexpectedly, he became even worse, from finding fault openly to doing bad things secretly.

Who knows what this vicious person will do in the future!

"This is pushing people to death!"

"In my opinion, we still have to express our stance and go find the Yueran Restaurant to have a discussion, otherwise they will treat us like soft persimmons!"

"That's right, let's go together and let everyone know what kind of person this Yue Ran Restaurant is!"

"..."

Everyone was in high spirits, but Xia Mingyue reached out to stop them. "The government just took Wang away. After a trial, they will definitely go to Yueran Restaurant to arrest people. Yueran Restaurant may not know about this at this time. If we go to cause trouble, Yueran Restaurant will be prepared in advance and will have to respond in advance. If we say that Wang is framing them, it will not be appropriate."

"We might as well wait for a while and wait until the government has thoroughly investigated the case and goes to Yueran Restaurant to arrest the suspect. It would be very appropriate for us to go there then."

At that time, Yueran Restaurant will be the busiest, and it would be most appropriate to pour a ladle of oil on it.

What Xia Mingyue said made sense, and everyone agreed, and then arranged their respective responsibilities.

He went back to inform his family that they didn't need to set up the stall today, and sent some smart people to keep an eye on Yueran Restaurant and the government office to see when it would be appropriate to go there. The rest of them helped Xia Mingyue deal with the bitter food in the central kitchen.

Snack stalls and food carts sell a lot of food every day, so the central kitchen naturally has a lot of stock. Now all of these things cannot be sold, and they are too bitter to eat, which makes everyone so anxious that they cry.

They were all people who had experienced hard times, and what they hated the most was waste. Now so many delicious fish and meat were going to be wasted, which was more painful than killing them.

In addition to being sad, everyone cursed Yueran Restaurant again, including the confused Wang family.

But no matter how sad we are, no matter how much we curse, these things still need to be dealt with.

I can't sell it, but I definitely can't bear to throw it away.

After some discussion, Xia Mingyue led everyone to scoop out all the water in the water tank mixed with Coptis chinensis water, re-clean the water tank, make sure there was no peculiar smell in the water tank, and refill it with water.

Then all the meat was soaked and washed again, and some vinegar and salt were added to try to alleviate the bitter taste of the coptis water.

After a busy period of preparation, most of the meat was barely edible, but due to repeated washing and soaking, much of the meat had become unrecognizable and the flavor had been completely lost.

"If you don't mind, you can take it back and re-season it so it can be eaten." Xia Mingyue said.

Since it can no longer be sold, we let everyone take it home for free and eat it themselves, so it doesn't seem to be a waste.

This way it doesn't hurt that much.

Like the meat pieces in the noodle stew, the fish balls in the oden, and other meaty dishes, you can cook them with rich oil and sauce when you get home, and they are still edible.

As for meat fillings, because they are repeatedly washed and soaked, the meat pieces scooped out with a colander do not have much fat, so you can mix some lard into it, and add some radish or cabbage, etc., and make them into buns or dumplings, which are all good.

"When I had nothing to eat before, I ate grass roots, but they were not much better than coptis root. This is meat after all, and it tastes good no matter how well you clean it up!"

"That is to say, this is better than tree bark, right? Let's go back and stew it and have a good meal. Our family will be happy for several days."
