Chapter 93 Pesticide Residues Seriously Exceed Standards
Dong Qichang looked helpless: "But the current situation is that we are in the open, while they are in the shadows. They keep coming to cause trouble, which has greatly affected our business."
Zhang Dong knew that what Dong Qichang said was true, but since they had encountered this situation, there was nothing he could do but face it bravely.
But Zhang Dong also felt a little uneasy at this moment. After all, he had not let the other party's conspiracy succeed today, and who knows what other big moves the other party might have next.
Yesterday, a fly was found in the food, and today a diner is foaming at the mouth. Two different tricks in two days in a row. It seems that there is a master behind this.
Zhang Dong was also somewhat at a loss, but he knew that he could not compromise in the face of this situation and had to deal with it as it came.
He also firmly believes that as the situation develops, the mastermind behind it will definitely come to light.
Zhang Dong couldn't help but grit his teeth: You bastard, you better not let me find out who you are...
I opened the door with trepidation, but today was even more bizarre. Around noon, while everyone was eating and the room was full of customers, a police officer appeared.
"Your restaurant has been reported. Everyone who is eating, please leave."
"Next, we will conduct a full inspection of this place."
"What? You've been reported?" Dong Qichang was utterly shocked.
Zhang Dong, who was standing to the side, was also quite surprised. He felt that these police officers had come too suddenly. Needless to say, it must have been those bastards behind the scenes who had made their move again.
"Oh, leaders, welcome to our restaurant to inspect and guide our work."
Zhang Dong quickly picked up a pack of cigarettes, intending to distribute them to the officers.
With a snap, the leader slapped his pack of cigarettes over.
"Don't give us that. We've received complaints from customers that your restaurant's food quality is substandard and hygiene is not up to par. There are even flies in their food, and some customers have been poisoned on the spot after eating your food."
"Where did you get this goods from? I need to see your proof of purchase."
"What, boss? You want to see our purchase receipts?"
Dong Qichang, who was standing to the side, only realized what was happening at this moment and quickly explained the situation.
“We buy our vegetables from roadside vendors, emphasizing that they are fresh and all-natural, and there are no proof of purchase at all.”
"What? Your restaurant actually sells vegetables without proper labeling or certification?"
The leader, his face contorted with anger, sternly reprimanded his subordinates: "What have you been doing? Why is this happening in the restaurants under your jurisdiction?"
Is this how you do your job?
Seeing this, Zhang Dong frowned. He could tell that the leader was just putting on an act. If he reprimanded his subordinates in public like this, they would definitely take more radical measures.
The subordinates, after being reprimanded by their leader, quickly nodded and bowed.
"Sir, this is something we neglected to check regularly; we never expected such a serious situation to occur."
The leader became increasingly angry: "You're being far too perfunctory! Is this how you treat the people? I want you to immediately shut down this restaurant and impose a fine on it."
Upon hearing the instructions from their superiors, these subordinates dared not disobey and became increasingly arrogant towards Zhang Dong and Dong Qichang.
"As the business owners, you stocked up on substandard products. Is this how you take responsibility for your customers?"
"Food is the most important thing for people. Next, we will shut down your restaurant and impose a fine of 10 yuan."
Dong Qichang and his wife both gasped in shock.
"What? They're sealing it off and fining us 100,000 yuan? Boss, aren't you forcing our restaurant to close down?"
Seeing the couple's expressions, the leader-like guy looked arrogant.
"Do you still want to keep the restaurant running? What are you thinking? Your disregard for the food safety of the people deserves to be fined until you're bankrupt..."
Zhang Dong, who was standing to the side, did not say anything, but he was secretly plotting something.
At that moment, he also sensed that the person who had attacked their restaurant was definitely not simple.
Moreover, it must have been a carefully planned attack against them.
On the first day, the fat man brought boiled flies, which even he couldn't figure out what was going on.
The second time, the skinny guy actually foamed at the mouth.
It was by using a thumbtack that he foiled the other party's scheme and avoided being blackmailed again.
But on the third day, these peaked caps arrived directly.
They really won't give up until they destroy their restaurant.
After they arrived, they needed the purchase invoices, but their restaurant had always bought vegetables grown by farmers in the suburbs.
It seems that the other side has a firm grasp on their Achilles' heel.
In fact, not only their restaurant, but which other restaurant has such proof of purchase?
Several staff members, looking menacing, entered the kitchen, took out the vegetables, and began inspecting them on the spot.
Soon, a staff member's expression changed, and he respectfully reported the test results to the middle-aged man who appeared to be the leader.
"Boss, on-site testing revealed that the pesticide residues in the vegetables purchased by the other party were seriously excessive."
The leader was even more furious: "What? Pesticide residues are seriously exceeding the standard? The test data is already in front of you. What else do you have to say?"
"I, we..." Dong Qichang and his wife were speechless.
They had no way to deal with the current situation, since it was an official intervention.
The couple were so anxious that tears streamed down their faces as they pleaded with the leader.
The leader had a stern face and said seriously, "Your restaurant not only lacks proper proof of sourcing, but now we've also found that the vegetables you purchased have excessive pesticide residues."
"In addition, we have received complaints from diners that your restaurant's hygiene standards are not up to par."
"And you're still pleading like this? If you continue like this, you're disrupting our normal work. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I, I..." Dong Qichang and his wife were terrified, and cold sweat dripped down their foreheads.
Seeing this, Zhang Dong quickly pulled them aside.
"I'm telling you, brother and sister-in-law, stop trying so hard to beg them, it's no use."
"Since they want to mess with us, we have no choice but to think of other ways..."
Dong Qichang and his wife were on the verge of tears: "Why are we so unlucky? We've run into this mess. Brother Zhang Dong, what other options do you have right now?"
Hearing the couple's question, Zhang Dong sighed softly.
He's not confident now, saying he can guarantee the restaurant will be able to reopen.
After all, he was also quite overwhelmed by this kind of situation.
