Chapter 1187 – Stole?
Huan Qing Yan nearly dug her ears, “What?”
The young man behind called Jin Shan walked up, “Yes. I made the report. I have been observing your shop for a long time. You have never gone to the grocers to purchase any flour, meat or vegetables etc…”
“Your family have been in our Nameless Town for several months, and have great business every day. However, you never went to stock up on fresh ingredients. So let me ask you, where did the ingredients you used to make the food come from?”
The Mayor had often sent his family members to purchase food from Lord Treasure Hall as well. His family loves the food from this place, just that the prices, the expensive prices, prevented them from having it every day. Needless to say, he could be said to be familiar with the food sold by Lord Treasure Hall.
The food was indeed delicious. However, the hygiene conditions and ingredients used must be adequately accounted for as well.
No corners can be cut.
That was why when Jin Shan made the report, the Mayor thought to personally make the trip. He needs to be responsible for the health of the townsfolk.
Huan Qing Yan secretly snorted, finding her trouble in this area?
The main reason Huan Qing Yan limited the amount of food sold was; first, she was lazy and wanted to make less. Second, she took the consumer spending power of Nameless Town into consideration as not everyone can afford to eat Lord Treasure Hall’s food daily.
Her decision to sell food containing spirit energy in Nameless Town was also to bring benefit to the people around here. However, she cannot do it rampantly, there was a need to control and let karma play a part.
“So this is the reason why Lord Mayor is here. Our shop has always been well-liked by the townsfolk, I never thought that someone would secretly observe the source of our ingredients. Looks like there are many interesting people in this small town.” Huan Qing Yan spoke with a half-smile.
Ji Mo Ya did not speak and maintained his unruffled smile. If he were to interfere in such small matters, it would make him look petty.
Jin Shan knew that Huan Qing Yan was mocking him, but he did not mind, “Your family are not from around here. It is all well and fine if you want to open a shop in Nameless Town, but it must be a business with a conscience. The townsfolk of Nameless Town cannot be harmed by outsiders. Isn’t that right, everyone?”
At that time, the people who gathered around to watch the show started revealing confused faces.
“How can it be? I think the taste of the food is pretty good! It does not seem to be expired ingredients at all!”
“That’s right. How can expired ingredients produce such delicious food?”
“However, come to think of it. This Sister indeed has not gone out to purchase ingredients before as well. Everything else aside, just the buns would at least require cabbage? I remember there were cabbage buns or chive dumplings etc.…”
……
Jin Shan immediately raised his voice when he heard some people questioning, “Yes. They also sold many meat dishes as well. Yet no one saw them purchased meat! We only have one butcher in our town, Butcher Zhang. I have asked him before, and the butcher himself was also curious where the meat from Lord Treasure Hall came from. They have never visited his shop to buy meat, so where the meat used in the food came from?”
“Also, they have never bought any flour. They have never visited the general goods store before…”
……
Some neighbours suddenly started becoming creative, “Maybe they went to steal them at night?”
“That cannot be. I have never heard of any family losing stuff! Our Nameless Town is only this big, any family who got their stuff stolen would be known by everyone in town.”
“Maybe they went to the next town? Their kid can run really quickly. Maybe he can run to and fro in a night…”
