Rural Shennong

Many major events, in fact, will have a brewing process before they erupt.

In the end, it was completely triggered by a key point.

Jiang'an Metropolis Daily kept smearing Pingxin Restaurant. Although the intensity was not great, the brewing time was long enough.

Some doubts about the top-quality dishes of Pingxin Restaurant have settled in the society.

As soon as the headline on the front page of this time was published, it immediately detonated this accumulated doubt.

When Xu Xinyi saw the official account of Jiang'an Metropolis Daily, she realized the crisis.

When it was time for lunch, as she expected, although there were many people eating in the store, the number of people queuing at the door ushered in a sharp drop.

Most of the customers who ate in the store and those who lined up at the door were surprised.

Eighty percent of them didn't see the official account, and didn't know that Pingxin Restaurant suddenly became much deserted.

Several young people got their number cards and got together to chat.

"What's the situation? The price of the restaurant has increased today? Why are there so many fewer people?"

"You ask me who do I ask? Isn't this better? Let's save the queue for so long."

They were chatting when they noticed that the people in front of them suddenly turned around and wanted to leave.

One of the young people in this group couldn't help being curious, stepped forward and asked, "Brother, why don't you line up?"

The person who was stopped shook his head: "No queue, there must be something wrong with this restaurant, just look at the official account of Jiang'an Metropolis Daily."

The group of young people curiously took out their mobile phones and checked the official account of Jiang'an Metropolis Daily.

The headline on the front page is the facade of the Ping Xin restaurant that has been photoshopped in gray and dark tones.

Looking at this picture, it makes people feel depressed.

Read the article again.

"Recently, this small restaurant called Pingxin Restaurant quickly deserted after experiencing continuous boom in business."

"Why does the delicacy that was sought after by countless diners suddenly lose interest?"

"According to some diners, after they became regular customers of Ping Xin Restaurant, they found that many chronic illnesses disappeared inexplicably."

"It's more effective than 'medicine', but once you don't eat at Pingxin Restaurant, all kinds of stubborn symptoms will break out."

"This can't help but make people wonder what addictive things have been added to the dishes of Pingxin Restaurant."

"Now it seems that the vigilance of the public is still very high, and the rapid return to rational consumers is the root cause of the rapid decline in the business of Pingxin Restaurant."

After watching these young people, their faces were full of shock and fear.

Think about it carefully, they are really addictive, such as that chili, it is really useful after eating it!

Combined with this seriously misleading article, they have to wonder what kind of "medicine" Pingxin Restaurant added to those peppers.

"Damn, black shop!"

"Fortunately, we knew the news in time. If we come to this black shop a few more times, I'm afraid we will end up here in the future."

"Let's go, brothers, I will never come to this black shop again."

A few young people left cursing, and some other customers who lined up heard what they said, and several waves of people also left.

But there were still queues, and one of them was a beautiful woman wearing a peaked cap.

This woman's name is Peng Lanxin, and she is an intern reporter for Jiang'an Metropolis Daily.

Ever since Liu Shifeng, a senior reporter from the newspaper, first published an article smearing Pingxin Restaurant, it aroused her suspicion.

Because she had heard that Chen Ping, the owner of this Pingxin restaurant, seemed to have offended Liu Shifeng.

Moreover, these articles written by Liu Shifeng do not have any specific evidence that can be obtained, and they are all ambiguous and rhythmic words.

So Peng Lanxin wanted to do an on-the-spot investigation to see if this store was really as bad as Liu Shifeng said.

There were too few people in line, and soon it was Peng Lanxin's turn.

She went into the store and ordered a top-quality sauerkraut fish that has become very popular recently.

After the dish was served, she only took a sip, and her almond eyes widened in shock.

"My God, this is too fresh, too fragrant, right?"

Only now did Peng Lanxin know that some small media praised Pingxin Restaurant as the supreme delicacy. They were not exaggerating at all, but rather conservative.

She had already forgotten the purpose of coming, and her mind was completely occupied by the signal released by the taste buds.

For a snack food like Peng Lanxin, being able to eat this kind of delicacy that is unimaginable is the happiest thing in the world.

After eating a bowl of sauerkraut fish, Peng Lanxin burped, her face full of comfort and happiness.

The lingering fragrance in her mouth has not dissipated, and she can still feel a warm breath in her stomach, which makes her very comfortable.

Only then did she suddenly remember her purpose for coming.

She rolled her eyes and looked at the guests at the next table. It was a family of three, two adults and one child.

Peng Lanxin asked with a smile: "Sister, are you a regular visitor here?"

The eldest sister glanced at Peng Lanxin up and down, seeing her harmless appearance, she smiled kindly and replied: "Yes, my husband and I often bring my son over for dinner."

Peng Lanxin asked: "Then you haven't found any problem with the food here after eating for so long?"

Seeing that the eldest sister looked a little weird, Peng Lanxin quickly explained: "I read that many media channels of Jiang'an Metropolis Daily said that there is something wrong with this dish, and that's why I asked that. Don't be offended."

The eldest sister looked around and said in a low voice: "Sister, don't listen to the nonsense of that newspaper."

"I have also read the reports you mentioned, and they are completely nonsense."

"My husband and I both work in the city hospital. We were a little worried before, so we did a comprehensive examination at the unit."

"It turned out that we ate these vegetables, not only did not cause any harm to the body, but also had great benefits."

"If it wasn't like this, even if we were greedy, we wouldn't dare to let our children eat it."

"As for why Jiang'an Metropolis Daily discredited Ping Xin Restaurant, I know the reason."

"Recently, Jiang'an Metropolis Daily had a few reporters surnamed Liu...in the hospital...the owner of Pingxin Restaurant..."

The more Peng Lanxin listened, the more angry she became. She had only guessed before, but she didn't expect the truth to be so dark.

A conscientious restaurant that is obviously operating legitimately and can benefit the people has been discredited to such an extent because it offended Liu Shifeng.

Is this something people dare to do?

After listening, Peng Lanxin stood up as soon as she slapped the table: "That's unreasonable."

The family of three was taken aback and all looked at her in astonishment.

Only then did Peng Lanxin realize that she had lost her composure, she quickly lowered her head and coughed twice: "What, I'm so excited."

"Sister, thank you for telling me so much, goodbye."

After leaving Pingxin Restaurant, Peng Lanxin was terribly conflicted.

After graduating from school, she can enter the industry's top media such as Jiang'an Metropolis Daily, and her future is limitless.

Now the newspaper's front-page headlines must have the permission of the editor-in-chief Yue Bowen to engage in such deliberate rumors in disregard of the facts.

If she goes to the editor-in-chief to explain the facts, will the editor-in-chief agree to change such a mistake?

Peng Lanxin is not stupid, she thinks that possibility is very small.

If she really said it, the most likely thing would be to anger the editor-in-chief.

Peng Lanxin returned to the newspaper office and sat absent-mindedly in the booth, full of struggling emotions.

At this moment, Liu Shifeng, who was walking squarely, walked in with his chin raised.
