Chapter 157 Discuss a statement
Chapter 170 Ask for an explanation
"Master." Jin Xi greeted Lao Liangtou from a distance, and Lao Liangtou nodded in response.

The conversation between Liang Yuzhong and Liang Yuzhou stopped, and the two greeted them. Liang Yuzhong supported the old Liangtou and was about to get into the bullock cart. The long courtyard with white walls showed sincere admiration and amazement in his eyes, and said to Liang Yuzhong: "My third brother, I used to underestimate your three families! Look at this courtyard, and my father is also bright!"

Liang Yuzhong smiled honestly, and said: "Father, if you have time when you come back this time, come and play in my yard with your mother!" Speaking of which, Liang Yuzhong's family has moved to a new house, and the old Liangtou and Mrs. Tan have not visited the house once. .

Old Liangtou looked a little sorry, patted Liang Yuzhong on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, okay, come and play!" After finishing speaking, he climbed into the bullock cart and sat down by himself, Liang Yulin followed behind, collapsed shoulder, holding a twine bag in his hand, which is heavy inside, judging from the shape of the outside, it should be a local product of the countryside.

"Li Hui's father-in-law is the magistrate of the county magistrate. We can't go empty-handed this trip, we can bring some peanuts, red beans, and mung beans!" Seeing Jin Xi's gaze sweeping over the twine bag, Lao Liangtou coughed and explained. .

Both Liang Yuzhong and Jin Xi smiled, Liang Yuzhong said: "That is, that is."

Old Liangtou stretched out his hand towards Jinxi, Jinxi smiled, grabbed the hand that Old Liangtou extended, and briskly jumped onto the bullock cart and sat down.

Liang Yulin put the twine bag on the ox cart and wanted to climb up, but was stopped by Liang Yuzhou, Liang Yuzhou said: "Second brother, this old cow can't carry so many people."

Liang Yulin was a little annoyed when he heard that, and said, "You have no conscience, fourth brother, why am I the only one? Second brother, my feet are not ready yet!"

Liang Yuzhou glanced at Liang Yulin's feet, and said: "Isn't it just a few blows with needles that caused inflammation? After so many days, even if a few bloody holes were pierced by a knife, it will be complete!"

"Hey, what are you talking about? Is there anyone who cursed his elder brother like that?" Liang Yulin rolled his eyes at Liang Yuzhou, the old Liang was sitting on the bullock cart with a gloomy face, Jin Xi's eyes flashed, and he jumped After catching the message in Liang Yuzhou's words just now, and remembering Sun Yuxia's stolen wooden box last time, she confirmed her guess that the wooden box must have been stolen by Liang Liqing and Liang Libai, and Liang Yulin couldn't get rid of it either. relationship.

"Second Uncle's feet are also faulty, how could he guess the embroidery needles if he's in good shape? Could it be that Er Ma's sewing basket hid two liang of silver in it, and stepped on it to find the silver?" Jin Xi sarcastically asked Liang Yulin.

Two taels of silver?Liang Yulin cast a vigilant glance at Jin Xi's side, feeling a little horrified in his heart, could it be that they knew about stealing the wooden box last time?
"Okay, okay, do all you can to delay the time!" Old Liangtou was so focused on going to the county magistrate Zhou's house that he didn't have the mind to pay attention to what was in front of him, so he sat on the bullock cart and urged.

"Third and fourth, let your second brother get in the car, he's a lazy donkey who grinds a lot of shit and piss!" Old Liangtou ordered.

Liang Yuzhou didn't bother to help, and Liang Yulin didn't need anyone to help, he climbed into the car by himself and sat firmly on the handlebars on both sides.

"Third brother, you drive the car, and I will chase after you. I have good legs, and I will drive to the county seat when I get to the town." Liang Yuzhou said, he is an authentic farmer, and when he was a child, he was a swineherd and a cowherd in the old Liang family. The cow had to drive a long way today, Liang Yuzhou couldn't bear to let it be exhausted now.

Liang Yuzhong understood Liang Yuzhou's thoughts. To be honest, although it was an ox cart, he cherished the animals and never played around with them. For example, in the hot weather now, Liang Yuzhong had to go to the cowshed in the side yard to feed the cattle before going to bed at night. Back to the food, fill the water tank, and smoke wormwood at the four corners of the cowshed to repel mosquitoes.

"Fourth brother, it's better for you to drive the cart. You happen to be very familiar with this cow. It will listen to you and not make a fuss when you go all the way to the county town." Liang Yuzhong said, pushing Liang Yuzhou into the bullock cart, Liang Yuzhou was patient. Unable to bear Liang Yuzhong's insistence, he had no choice but to follow suit, and just like that, the big guy moved before the sun rose.

After the ox cart drove into Changqiao Town, Jin Xi got out of the cart, and the father and daughter followed Old Liangtou and they parted ways.

Liang Yuzhong went to Sun Ji as usual, and Jinxi entered Qianlixiang. In the middle of the day, there was a sudden commotion from Sun's side. Immediately afterwards, Awang rushed to Qianlixiang to look for Jinxi, and only found out after asking. Several customers had adverse reactions because they bought the dew oil and used it back. Now they made a fuss and asked for an explanation.

Jinxi was a little surprised. No matter if it was the Sun family or Qianlixiang, there had never been any accidents in terms of the quality and safety of the products since they opened. Jinxi is very confident in the toilet oil that she blended and developed by herself. How could there be any adverse reactions? ?impossible!
Jinxi quickly regained her composure, and walked to Sun's Ji, but Sun Yuxia couldn't leave, and was worried that Jinxi would be hurt in the chaos caused by customers, so she quickly called Sun Dahu to accompany Jinxi.

Jin Xi and Sun Dahu entered the gate of Sun Ji's shop, and at a glance, they saw five or six people surrounding shopkeeper Zhang and Sun Yubao. There were men and women among these five or six people, but judging from their clothes, they should be from the Farmers from the village below.

"A bottle of dew oil can buy several catties of pork. Our farmer's family tightened their belts before buying a bottle. I heard everyone said how comfortable it was. The adults were reluctant to use it, so they washed it for the children at night. Take a bath and wipe it on, look, look, look, there are red rashes like pockmarks all over the baby's neck, in the creaking hole, and on both arms, it hurts and itches!"

"This toilet oil kills people and doesn't pay for their lives. You businessmen are earning black-hearted money with no conscience. Look at this tormenting children. If you don't give us an explanation today, we will stop here and make trouble!"

"That's right, if we don't give an explanation, let's make a scene, call all relatives and friends, and smash this black shop!"

"..."

Those five or six people dressed as village men and women surrounded shopkeeper Zhang and Sun Yubao. Everyone was very excited and their faces were red from arguing. Shopkeeper Zhang and Sun Yubao explained with a smile on their faces, but those people couldn't listen at all. Going in, not only that, but the noise here also alarmed other customers and passers-by outside the shop. After a while, the inside of Sun Ji was bustling with many people. The voices of shopkeeper Zhang and Sun Yubao were drowned out.Fortunately, Liang Yuzhong, Sun Erhu, and Alai were all guarding outside the counter, in case someone fished in troubled waters and caused damage to the shop.

When Jin Xi entered the door, what she saw was this chaotic scene.

Jin Xi frowned slightly, and opened her mouth to shout a few times, but no one noticed her at all.She told Sun Dahu a few words, Sun Dahu nodded, turned around and went to Sun Ji's backyard, and came back after a while with a pair of gongs in his hand.

Jin Xi nodded to Sun Dahu, covered her ears, Sun Dahu stood there, clapped her hands violently, and covered both sides of her hands with a gong 'pong...' A loud noise reverberated in the crowded room, hurting everyone People's eardrums, all the noise and quarrels came to an abrupt end because of the sudden sound of the gong, everyone turned their heads in unison, and saw a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes holding a pair of big gongs in his hand at the Eight Immortals Table under the attic. A young man, but beside him on the Eight Immortals table, stood a multi-year-old girl in an ice blue dress, with a double bun, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a godly gaze.

Although the girl looked extremely young and her stature hadn't fully grown, she didn't look childish at all.On the contrary, those gazes swept around the shop with a clear and penetrating sharpness and intelligence.

When her eyes swept over those people who were watching the scene with malicious intentions and intending to fish in troubled waters, the girl's eyes flashed a kind of intimidation without anger, and when they fell on the few villagers who asked for explanations, , the young girl's eyes were calm and peaceful, but also with a kind of kindness and understanding. On her body, there was not even a trace of panic.

"Everyone be quiet, listen to me." Jin Xi glanced around, took everyone's gazes and reactions into the corner of her eyes, and spoke calmly, her voice was calm and unwavering, although it was not too loud, it was enough to make everyone in the shop One can hear it.

"I'm the head of Sun Ji. All the purchases in the shop are facilitated by me. If you have any problems with the improper use of the goods, you can come and report to me. Impulse can't solve the problem. If there is anything wrong, we will Sit down and discuss calmly, I will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer!" Jin Xi said.

After a short silence in the shop, the crowd started whispering and pointing again.Jin Xi raised her hands to those who came to join in the fun, to stop their restlessness, looked at the five or six villagers who claimed to be victims, and said, "What's going on? Send someone out to tell me in detail!"

The five or six village men and women exchanged glances, and finally pushed a smart-looking woman with a square scarf on her head to speak.

The woman was carrying a child on her back. The woman's eyes were red, obviously from crying, and the child's neck, hands and arms, and the exposed skin really had a large rash. appalling.

"My son, Goudan, took a bath seven days ago and wiped it with the toilet oil of your grandson. Within two hours, the child said that his body was uncomfortable, and it hurt like a needle, and then it was like this." The woman wrapped in a square scarf shouted hoarsely to Jin Xi and to all the onlookers in the shop.

"It's not just our dog, but the two children of my second uncle and younger brother and sister's family have also applied their Sun Ji's toilet oil, and they have the same rash as my dog. Let's see the doctor in the village, doctor Said, this is because there is a medicine powder in the toilet oil that is not good for children. The doctor has prescribed the medicine for a few days, but the child still does not recover. We have to send the child to the big medical center in the town for diagnosis and treatment. I don’t know. How much medical expenses will be spent is the second priority, just for the crime suffered by the child, we as parents can't swallow this tone, we have to come to your Sun Ji to ask for an explanation!" The woman said, although she is a rural person, But the enunciation was clear and clear, no wonder they all pushed her out to speak.

After Jin Xi listened carefully, she nodded and asked the young woman, "Sister-in-law, although I am still young, I can understand how you are parents." Changing the subject, Jin Xi continued : "I just told everyone that all of Sun's goods are purchased by me alone. I am still very confident in the safety of the goods I purchased. Since Sun Ji opened, it has never been released. Have you ever had any examples of counterfeit and shoddy goods. Sister-in-law, you said that both of your children made mistakes with my toilet oil, so let me ask you, did you bring that toilet oil with you today? "

"That's inevitable. The dew oil is an ironclad proof. No matter how careful you are, you won't let it go! Second uncle, take those two bottles of dew oil to the little girl in charge to have a good look at it, and see if she can still quibble! "The woman wrapped in a square scarf shouted loudly, and the discussion in the crowd broke out again.

Jin Xi took the two bottles of toilet oil and carefully looked at them in her hands.

Judging from the appearance of the two bottles of toilet oil, there is no slight difference from Sun Ji's.They are all sawn from chopped green bamboo, hollowed out in the middle, and inlaid with a raised wooden cover. The bottle body is carved with corresponding flowers according to the different flower juices mixed in the toilet oil. In the lower right corner, There are two big characters engraved in the signature style: Sun Ji!
"Shopkeeper Zhang, is there any jasmine-scented toilet oil on the shelf? If so, bring me a bottle for comparison." Jin Xi raised her eyes and said to shopkeeper Zhang who was standing in the crowd and couldn't get away.

"The flower dew oil with the fragrance of winter jasmine is selling very well these days. It was sold out on the shelves yesterday. However, there may still be a few bottles in the warehouse at the back. I'll go find it for the manager!" Shopkeeper Zhang said, he is very smart, and on such occasions, he would quickly change his name to not calling Miss Jinxi, but to call him the manager, which would help strengthen Jinxi's deterrence.

Sure enough, when the woman wrapping the scarf and her companions saw that the shrewd old shopkeeper was bowing down to the little girl standing on the table, their previous doubts dissipated a little, and when they looked at Jin Xi again, that His eyes became a layer of awe, and he felt in his heart that this little girl was not as simple as her appearance.Maybe, this little girl can really give them an explanation on behalf of the shop.

After a while, shopkeeper Zhang trotted back, and handed over a bottle of jasmine-scented toilet oil that he had found to Jinxi. Jinxi put a mark on the bottle that shopkeeper Zhang took out in front of everyone. .

Then compare the two bottles of toilet oil in front of your eyes. Judging from the appearance, even the sharp eyes can't tell the difference.Jin Xi unscrewed the caps of the two bottles, and sniffed the scents in the two bottles carefully, then, Jin Xi frowned slightly.

"Sister-in-law, come here and have a sniff." Jin Xi waved at the five or six people, who hesitated for a while, and then squeezed over to sniff the two bottles in Jin Xi's hand one by one. His brows were all wrinkled, and his expression became a little strange.

"It's strange, it's clearly the same thing, how come it smells, the smell is a bit different?" The woman in the turban wrinkled her nose and wondered, and her companions also had the same expression.

"Sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, our sunji's toilet oil was prepared by my grandma and her grandson's family according to the secret recipe handed down from their ancestors. Our toilet oil even privately uses our Sun Ji brand, but because the formula is not complete, it is impossible for them to make authentic Sun Ji toilet oil."

Jin Xi calmly said, and passed the two bottles of toilet oil to Sun Dahu, saying: "Uncle, pass these two bottles of toilet oil to other customers for sniffing, and the big guys will help to compare the authenticity."

After a while, two bottles of different but the same toilet oil were passed around in the shop. All the customers who had smelled and compared the two bottles of toilet oil all showed surprised expressions, and everyone was discussing again. With a faint smile on the corner of Jin Xi's mouth, she took everyone's reactions into her eyes.

Finally, it was passed to shopkeeper Zhang. He not only sniffed it, but also found two small bowls and poured it in separately, and said in surprise: "Boss, the bottle of toilet oil they brought is thinner than the one our Sun remembers. Some are yellowish in color, ours are greener."

Among the onlookers in the shop, some lived in the Qingqiao Alley, so they volunteered to go home, brought the winter jasmine flower dew oil from home, and compared them together, and the villagers who stood out more There is a problem with the toilet oil brought by the village woman.

Jin Xi smiled slightly, and said to the crowd: "Thanks to the care of all the neighbors, folks, elders, old and new customers, our Sun Ji grocery store has been adhering to the business of conscience since it opened in Qingqiao Alley. No, just hang it on the wall over there, so customers can clearly see when they come in and out. Mrs. Sun even solemnly promises that if anyone buys a fake or shoddy product from Mrs. Sun, once it is verified, they will pay ten for the fake one!"

"We, Sun Ji, open the door to welcome customers from all over the world, and never do business without conscience. This is obvious to everyone!" Liang Yuzhong raised his arms and shouted, Sun Erhu and the others responded in unison, and some of the customers, some old customers, also expressed their support.

Now, the few villagers who came to ask for an explanation couldn't stand anymore, and the woman in the turban said: "The person in charge, no matter how you compare and how to guarantee it, no matter how abnormal our toilet oil is, we can't help it." But there are two big characters written in Sun Ji. It is not easy for us rural people to come to the town. Can you buy Sun Ji's toilet oil from Chen Ji and Li Ji's shop? That doesn't make sense, and you have to explain this to us!"

The crowd was in an uproar, and Sun Erhu and the others were a little annoyed. Unexpectedly, the facts were in front of them, which showed that they had bought fake and shoddy toilet oil outside, and now they insisted on biting Sun Ji!
Jin Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, she didn't expect this rural woman to be so good at speaking, but for Jin Xi, these were not difficult at all.

Jin Xi took over the four bottles again, two of which were counterfeit and shoddy products brought by those people, and the other two were Sun Ji's stock and a regular customer's verification and comparison.Jin Xi's eyes swept over the crowd, and she smiled meaningfully at the woman, and said in a clear voice: "Sister-in-law insists that the toilet oil was sold by our Sun Ji, then I will prove it." Let me show you all, to see whether it is I who is sophistry or you are lying, if I am sophistry, I am willing to be punished, if you lie and come to our shop to find trouble, hum, this time we will be polite first and then soldier!"

As soon as Jin Xi's words came out, the emotions of the onlookers in the shop became even higher. Everyone wanted to get to the bottom of this matter and see what was going on!Shopkeeper Zhang, Sun Erhu, Sun Yubao, Liang Yuzhong, and Alai and Awang brothers all voiced their support for Jinxi. When faced with doubts, Sun Ji's people stood firmly in one line without hesitation. Among the few villagers who spoke in unison, a man with a square face and a mustache began to retreat.

He tugged at the arm of the woman in the turban, and said in a low voice, "You son of a bitch, let me forget about it..."

The woman in the turban stepped on the man's foot, and the man lowered his body in pain, and then he heard the woman in the turban yelling at the man: "Father, I'll admit you even if you coax me into other things. It's about our baby, why are you like this? You haven't been at home for the past few days, you haven't seen our baby being troubled by the rash at night... Girl in charge, please prove it quickly, I'm still waiting for you to tell me I'm going to say it!"

The man's expression was complicated, and he hesitated to speak. Suddenly, he felt Youdao's sharp eyes falling on him, which made him feel a prickly feeling on his back in an instant. When he raised his eyes, he saw the man standing there The little girl who was in charge of the Eight Immortals table was looking away lightly, with a hint of sarcasm.

The man lowered his eyes for no reason, his eyes dodged and he began to panic in his heart. He really wanted to slip away, but the shop was full of people, and it was difficult for him to slip out in full view.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Jin Xi who was on the table of the Eight Immortals, wearing a water-blue slim dress with a silk ribbon of the same color tied around her slender waist.The soft hair is wrapped in a double bun on the top of the head, each tied with a small whip made of multicolored silk threads, and the rest of the hair hangs around the pink earlobes and bangs to the shoulders, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a pleasant demeanor , even if he was questioned, he didn't show a little panic.

"The dew oil, scented soap, shampoo, face wash, bath, and other products sold in our Sun Ji shop rely on the secret recipe of our Sun family. On each item, mark that only belongs to our Sun Ji, in order to prevent some day, someone will pretend to be a fake, and use our Sun Ji's signboard to bluff and cheat. When my uncle gets the kitchen knife, I will prove it to everyone Look, guys." Jin Xi looked around and said, just as she finished speaking, Sun Dahu came over with a vegetable cutting knife from the backyard.

Jin Xi poured all the toilet oil from the four bottles in her hand into a large bowl, and then turned the four empty small bamboo tubes upside down.

"Father, the hidden sign here was made by the two of us back then, you break the bamboo tube and show it to the big guys." Jin Xi said to Liang Yuzhong who was in the crowd.

Liang Yuzhong came out in response, bowed his hands to everyone, and said: "Yes, I am a carpenter. My daughter and I made these things together. Please watch them!" I groped around the bamboo tube carefully, and then fixed the bamboo tube with one hand, and copied the knife with the other hand, cutting along the strange pattern on the top of the bamboo tube in a calm and powerful circle, which is equivalent to cutting the bottom of the original bamboo tube. , to the whole cut down.
