Chapter 137 The First Time Holding Hands
The preservation part is even worse.
The thawed meat chunks, with blood and ice crystals remaining on the tray, emitted a faint, fishy odor as soon as the door was opened.
The law enforcement officers put on disposable gloves and randomly pulled out a bag.
"Where did you get your goods from? Do you have any inspection certificates? Show them to us."
Chen Hui said, forcing himself to speak.
"These were all bought from pig slaughterhouses in the countryside, and there's no proof of purchase."
When the law enforcement officers saw that he couldn't produce any proof, they pointed to a bag with a blurry spray code on the side and said...
"The source of this batch of meat is unclear, it has no animal quarantine certificate, and there are obvious signs of repeated thawing, which suggests that it is likely to be made from near-expiry or substandard frozen meat."
Zhao Dan is, after all, a woman.
She could argue with customers, but she didn't have that much confidence in front of law enforcement officers.
He collapsed to the ground with a thud, his voice filled with a wail.
"We...we just wanted a cheap deal...we were scammed, we didn't mean to hurt anyone!"
"Trying to save money?"
The law enforcement officers turned to the workbench and lifted a cutting board.
Below were black and green mold spots, raw and cooked knives mixed together, and the power plug of the sterilizer was half unplugged, with unwashed rags stuffed inside.
"You haven't met any of the requirements for the health permit."
"The requirements from above are that raw and cooked foods must be kept separate, disinfected daily, and that work surfaces must be kept clean. Don't you know these basic requirements?"
As he inspected the oil, he took photos to document the evidence. Finally, he walked to the oil pan and scooped up a spoonful of oil from the bottom.
The oil was cloudy and black, with a thick layer of black sludge at the bottom.
"Cooking oil must be changed daily and must not be reused for frying. This oil of yours is so black; it must have been used for at least three days, right?"
The law enforcement officer turned around and looked directly at the two men, his tone suddenly becoming more forceful.
"Besides, is the video provided by the whistleblower, showing you verbally abusing and threatening customers, authentic?"
Zhao Dan dared not admit it and repeatedly denied it.
Without saying much, the law enforcement officers took out their phones, and the next second, Zhao Dan's voice, clearly abusing the customer, came through.
Zhao Dan's face turned deathly pale.
The law enforcement officer continued.
"The video also shows you rolling up your sleeves to intimidate and verbally abuse underage customers. The facts are clear. What else do you have to say?"
Before the couple could speak, the law enforcement officer said.
"The three violations combined constitute a serious offense."
"We have now seized the food ingredients involved in the case in accordance with the law and sealed off the store premises. You need to immediately cease operations for rectification."
The leader had already written the statement and handed it to Chen Hui along with a pen.
"If there are no problems, please sign here."
"We will file a case and impose penalties in accordance with the Food Safety Law and the Anti-Unfair Competition Law. As for the amount of the fine and the duration of the suspension of business, we will make it public in accordance with the law."
"During this period, we hope you will keep your phone accessible and cooperate with the subsequent investigation."
Chen Hui's hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't even write his own name properly.
His arrogance and pride have long been crushed.
After explaining the follow-up matters, the law enforcement officers did not linger for a moment, immediately packed up their equipment, and turned to leave.
Zhao Dan collapsed to the ground, while Chen Hui sat on a stool.
After a long while.
Zhao Dan burst into tears.
"Old man—!"
"What are we going to do?!"
the other side.
Chen Yuan's family was having lunch.
After receiving the call, Chen Yuan was clearly in a good mood.
Su Qingxue quickly asked what had happened, and Chen Yuan didn't hide anything and told everyone the good news.
Wang Xiulan said, "That's great! This shop deserves it. Why did they have to do all this mess? Isn't this just unfair competition?"
Su Qingxue nodded in agreement: "Yes, and they even changed the sign to be exactly the same as my senior's breakfast shop. Isn't that clearly misleading people?"
Wang Xiulan said, "That's right, that's true. Now finally someone is in charge of dealing with them, that's good."
Chen Yuan just smiled and didn't say anything.
At this moment, Wang Xiulan spoke.
"Xiao Yuan, I just heard you say that the store is quite busy right now. If you ask me, you don't need to rush over. Your dad's back is much better now."
"Now is the time to make money. Leave these things to me, and you can keep the shop open a little longer."
Chen Yuan neither agreed nor refused, but simply said it calmly.
"It's okay, we'll talk about it later."
Chen Da had a decent appetite, eating some vegetables and beef, especially the sea bass, which he really enjoyed.
Before leaving, Chen Yuan gave him some instructions.
"Buy another fish tomorrow. This fish is quite delicious. I heard that eating more fish helps wounds heal faster."
After agreeing, Chen Yuan left with Su Qingxue.
Su Qingxue looked at Chen Yuan, her profile still somewhat somber, and said softly.
"I see that Teacher Chen is feeling much better. Are you still worried?"
"A little bit, I guess. My dad is still mostly faking it. My mom said he didn't sleep well at all last night, probably because his wound is still hurting."
"There's nothing we can do about it; there's no point in rushing these things. We'll just have to let it heal slowly."
Su Qingxue then shifted the topic to the breakfast shop.
"By the way, senior brother, I actually have the same idea as Teacher Chen. Your shop is always packed with people, and those who arrive late often don't get any food. I think you could extend the hours a bit, what do you think?"
"But I still have to take Youyou to school..."
"Don't worry about that, I'm here."
Su Qingxue assured her, "These past few days, haven't I been the one going to your house to keep Youyou company and take her to kindergarten?"
"I think Youyou is very well-behaved. If you don't mind, you can leave her to me from now on, and you can focus on your career."
Seeing how serious Su Qingxue was, it would be a lie to say Chen Yuan wasn't moved.
In that instant, he didn't know what was happening, but he felt a surge of heat rush to his head.
Without warning, he reached out and grabbed Su Qingxue's hand, holding it tightly to his chest amidst her astonished gaze.
"Thank you, Qingxue."
Su Qingxue: ……!
Since that day we held hands.
Their relationship developed rapidly.
It's an unspoken understanding, a tentative exploration between the man and woman, tinged with a touch of shyness.
Looking at Su Qingxue, who seemed to be surrounded by pink bubbles.
Jin Xiaoruo, who was standing to the side, sighed helplessly.
"It's just holding hands, why are you so happy?"
"Of course! This is the first time I've ever held hands with my senior brother, and he was the one who initiated it!"
Su Qingxue's smile stretched almost to her ears.
"Help me think of somewhere good for our date this weekend!"
