Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Chapter 352: Follow-up to the incident

"Bah! I've been eating here for so many years, but I haven't tasted anything good. What kind of mouth do you have? You found hair as soon as you came here?"

"That's right, why are you so arrogant? You want a hundred taels right away. Why don't you go to the bank and rob the money?"

"It's been so many years, don't you know whether prices have risen or not? The price of food in Fumanlou has remained the same for all these years. You said there is hair, so there is hair. Where is the hair? You didn't throw it in, did you?" an auntie chimed in.

When this was said, the customers in the store agreed.

Obviously, Fu Man Lou's food is affordable and tastes good, so it has accumulated a lot of old customers, and none of them believe what the man with bad character in front of them says.

"Are you all in the same gang? Oh God, do you think you are right? My own interests have been harmed and I am defending my rights. Am I still wrong? Aren't you too bullying? Such a big store, and you are bullying people! It's outrageous!" Seeing that he did not incite these customers to make noise, Zhao Peng began to shout at the top of his voice.

"That's right, you can't be unreasonable." Two or three of Zhao Peng's friends who were sitting with him echoed.

"Who said there was hair in the food?" Chef Yang rushed over from the kitchen with a pot and a spoon in his hand.

Chef Yang, who was busy in the kitchen, was already impatient. When Ah Fu came into the kitchen and said something, Chef Yang, who was still busy, was instantly irritated.

Where did this bastard come from? How dare he try to scam me, Old Yang? This is a provocation and an act that invites scolding.

After all, I always wrapped my hair with a headscarf, even on hot days, I would wrap it with a piece of cotton cloth, so not a single hair was exposed. How was it possible?

"What's the matter? Are you starting to become unreasonable and use force against me?" Zhao Peng felt a little uneasy when he saw Chef Yang holding a pot and spoon with a fierce look as if he was going to hit someone, but he still started to act like a spoiled child by shouting.

Hu Zhanggui was also troubled by Chef Yang's hot temper. "Excuse me, everyone. You all saw that my chef's hair was all wrapped up. How could the situation described by this young man happen?"

"That's right. Could it be that Chef Yang took off his hat and deliberately pulled a strand of hair and put it in your dish? What's going on?"

"It's getting more and more interesting. The food I'm cooking is really delicious. Why didn't I notice any hair?"

"How is it impossible?"

Still stubborn.

"You said there was hair. Where is the hair?" Chef Yang calmed down and looked at Zhao Peng.

He looked like he hadn't woken up yet, with dark circles under his eyes and his clothes were wrinkled. He didn't look like a serious person.

The people sitting next to him all looked like this. Compared with the old man sitting at the other table, their complexion and spirit were not as good as that of the old man.

"Here." Zhao Peng pointed at the hair in the dish as if he had won the game, looking complacent and smug.

The witnesses and evidence are all here, let’s see how you can argue. I’ll take the hundred taels.

I glanced at the customers gathered in the crowd, all of whom had gossipy looks on their faces, and I despised them inwardly for a while.

Look, look at what your father is looking at! A bunch of stupid fools.

It happened that at this moment, the government runners came over. Hu Zhanggui quickly explained the situation. The two runners nodded but did not speak immediately.

All the customers in the restaurant gathered around to watch the fun.

"Is this the hair you're talking about?" Chef Yang took a closer look and asked calmly.

"Yes, that's right. When I found it, I didn't even touch it. There were several of us watching. What I said was absolutely true."

"Are you sure?" Chef Yang asked again.

"Sure, I'm sure. Why do you keep asking? Can't you hear me?" Zhao Peng began to get impatient. His pupils turned red and he tried his best to suppress the urge to kill in his heart.

I just want money and don't want to involve human lives.

Chef Yang snorted and took off the hat on his head, revealing a head of black hair mixed with white hair.

Everyone was stunned, even Zhao Peng's expression changed.

Because the hair placed in the vegetable bowl was clearly completely black.

Zhao Peng glared at the person who followed him. Really, he didn't even bother to ask for details. He was such a loser.

"Then it's not you, then it must be someone in your kitchen who didn't pay attention. After all, this dish was made by more than just you." Zhao Peng stuck out his neck and continued to pester.

"I can't stand it anymore. There are so many people eating here today, why did it happen that it was on your plate? I think you are just looking for trouble." An auntie shouted in the crowd, "You delayed my meal time and kept watching your poor performance."

"boom……"

Zhao Peng picked up a stool and smashed it down, his eyes wide open, "You bitch, do you have the guts to say that again?"

"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, calm down." Several people on the side grabbed Zhao Peng who was about to walk into the crowd and advised him.

"Take them all away!" Seeing that trouble was about to start, the bailiff spoke up immediately and made way for a path through the crowd.

When Zhao Peng's cronies saw the bailiffs, they acted like mice seeing a cat. They left Zhao Peng behind and ran out of the door.

At the end of the incident, under the questioning of the yamen runners, Zhao Peng's dead duck-like mouth finally loosened up, and he finally knew the source of the incident.

In short, there was a gambler who lost money and started to blackmail people. Before that, he had successfully blackmailed several restaurants in this way. Those restaurants were not as big as Fu Man Lou. They were all small businesses and did not want to cause trouble.

Besides, Zhao Peng is a man who knows how to judge people by their abilities. He has just started and is not very experienced. He did not ask for a huge amount at the beginning. After all, if they can afford it, they will give small amounts.

As for why he provoked Fu Manlou, it was of course because he was too arrogant. The restaurant that was extorted by Zhao Peng reported to the police on the same day and closed the next day for its own safety.

As his money was running out, Zhao Peng made up his mind to do something big. He had already mastered the art of blackmailing people.

In the end, Zhao Peng did not get any money, but was beaten with several boards instead. As for the money he had extorted from others before, he had to return it to the owner. Since Zhao Peng had no money, he asked his family to pay it back.

Zhao Peng's family was left with only a blind old mother who barely made a living by washing clothes for others. County Magistrate Wu felt sorry for him and paid the debt back for him, but in exchange, Zhao Peng was arranged to do hard labor for two months, which was enough to earn him a living.

The onlookers couldn't help but sigh: Gambling is really harmful to people, don't touch it, don't touch it.
