Chapter 129 Losing Temper on the Spot
Regardless of what happened, the doubts didn't subside; instead, they snowballed and grew larger.
"It's a bit lacking. This is frozen meat; how can it be the same as freshly prepared meat?"
"Exactly! This porridge is so watery and thin, just one grain of rice to half a pound of water. Who are you trying to fool?"
"This tastes awful."
"What are these? These fried dough sticks aren't crispy or crunchy at all. Can they even be called fried dough sticks?"
Zhao Dan finally couldn't keep her composure any longer.
She's never been the type to make money through harmony; she's had enough of this pretense.
Coupled with the questioning from those around her, she slammed her hand on the counter, causing the cash register to beep.
"You think you can take advantage of a little kindness?
"If you don't know how to eat, don't spout nonsense. Have you become stupid from eating pre-cooked meals all the time? Your tongue only recognizes technology and fancy cooking methods? You can't taste the quality of real ingredients, and then you blame us?"
The kitchen curtain was suddenly lifted.
Chen Hui rushed out, his face flushed red with anger, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"What does this mean? Our meat is all sourced through legitimate channels. Why do you say it's bad? If you complain about the taste, go somewhere else!"
"Coming here so early in the morning to nitpick, aren't they deliberately ruining our reputation?"
The two of them sang in unison, taking advantage of their loud voices to chatter on and on, not letting anyone else interrupt them.
"Our shop has been open on this street for so many years, all thanks to the good reputation among the locals!"
"You bandwagoners don't know anything about sourdough fermentation. Our porridge is also simmered over a low flame. If you can't taste the flavor, shut up and stop spouting nonsense!"
Chen Hui became more and more excited as he spoke, spittle flying everywhere.
Finally, his gaze settled on the thin girl in the corner.
The girl was wearing a large knitted sweater, her shoulders were thin, and she was holding half a half-eaten bun in her hand.
Chen Hui, for some unknown reason, felt a surge of anger and strode over, rolling up his sleeves to his elbows to reveal his muscular forearms honed from years of hard work.
"Little girl, are you referring to the water added to the porridge?"
The little girl turned pale with fright and shrank back.
Chen Hui took a step closer, his voice low and his eyes fierce.
"Young lady, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. We do business with a clear conscience. If you keep talking like that, believe me or not...!"
He paused deliberately before finishing his sentence.
They looked ready to take action at any moment.
The girl instinctively shrank behind her friend.
Her friend, also a girl, was both angry and scared when she saw this scene, and her momentum weakened a bit.
"What do you think you're doing? Trying to hit someone in broad daylight?!"
"What am I supposed to do?"
Chen Hui sneered, his chest heaving violently.
"I didn't do anything, yet you complain about our products, accusing us of diluting them with water and starch. Show me the evidence! Why are you slandering us honest business people with nothing but empty words!"
"You'd better make things clear today, or you're not leaving!"
Seeing this, Zhao Dan not only did not stop her, but instead seemed to have found a powerful backer, and her voice became even sharper and more shrill.
"Exactly! These young people nowadays just take random photos with their phones, what do they know about food? What do they know about fine cuisine?"
"We have really good stuff here."
Just then, Zhao Dan noticed someone taking out their phone to film.
She remained calm and composed, instead putting her hands on her hips and scolding him.
"Take pictures! Take as many pictures as you want! You're violating our portrait rights, do you know that?! If you dare to post this, we'll sue you to death!"
"Eat if you want, or get out! Don't get in my way!"
This action completely ignited the customer's anger.
"You still have the nerve to argue!"
"With such a rude attitude, are you even a real business?"
"You said you run that vegan breakfast shop, but now I doubt it! Where's that handsome young man? Call him out here!"
Zhao Dan was furious when she heard Chen Yuan's name.
"Why bring him up? Eat it or don't, it's up to you! If you don't want to eat, then leave. Don't delay my business!"
Ah Kai remained silent in the corner, but the live stream camera had already been focused on the two of them.
Holy crap, are there still stores this arrogant these days?!
The boss hasn't shown up yet, so who are these two people?
【Haven't you all noticed? I think there's something wrong with this restaurant; it might not be the one everyone says is good.】
Now I have my own doubts too.
[That boss is handsome? He's way too good-looking!]
Ah Kai didn't dare to speak, but quietly spoke into the microphone on his lapel.
"Now I suspect we've gone to a shady business."
Although Zhao Dan and Chen Hui were fierce, they had a large number of customers.
Chen Hui could scare the young, thin girl, but the men and older women on the side were not so tolerant of his behavior, and the two sides immediately started arguing.
Zhou Ming sat in his seat; he couldn't eat any more of what he was eating.
Just as he was about to pay the bill and leave, he suddenly received a message from his girlfriend.
I clicked on it and took a look.
Zhou Ming's brows furrowed at first, then relaxed.
He stood up and spoke loudly.
"Everyone, stop! Stop!"
When everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions, Zhou Ming smiled and looked at Zhao Dan and Chen Hui.
"Boss, boss's wife, stop arguing here."
then,
He looked around again.
"Listen to me, everyone!"
"A friend of mine just told me that the actual owner of the breakfast shop sent out a notice last night saying that his father was having surgery and the shop would be closed all day today!"
"So this store only has the same storefront as that store, but they are actually completely different."
Zhou Ming looked at the couple.
"You guys put up this sign pretty quickly, even the font and layout are exactly the same as everyone else's. Why don't you change the chef's name too?"
"I heard from my friend that your steamed bun shop used to be called Chen Ji Steamed Bun Shop, which is completely different from the pure vegetarian breakfast shop."
The room fell silent the moment those words were spoken.
All eyes were fixed on Zhao Dan and Chen Hui.
Chen Hui froze, and then his entire face turned from white to red.
Zhao Dan's arrogance shattered completely; her voice became weak and her eyes darted around.
"We...this is our name..."
"Who says he's the only one on the street that can call itself a purely vegan breakfast shop? So what if our sign looks a bit more like one? Who do you think you are, meddling in other people's business?"
A girl mustered up her courage and said.
"What do you mean by 'similar'? The taste is so different, that's one thing, but you deliberately imitate their storefront. Today they're closed, so you put up the same sign to lure people over?"
"Don't you know whether this is business or fraud?"
The others also raised questions.
"Exactly! You guys think we're fools?!"
"Give me my money back! What a piece of junk!"
"Give us a straight answer, whether it's a fake or not!"
