Chen looked shocked. She asked the doctor carefully, "Doctor, is it true that this child has a stomachache because he ate the food from my house?"

Before the doctor could answer, the child in the old woman's arms suddenly vomited.

There was instantly a pile of vomit on the ground, with some undigested food in it.

The onlookers all took a step back.

The old woman started to cry and scream again, "Oh my poor grandson, it's all because of these black-hearted people that you have to suffer like this, I want them to pay me compensation."

The doctor squatting on the ground also felt a lot of pressure. He knew what kind of person this old woman was and he couldn't let her slander the stall owner.

Just when he didn't know how to clear the person's name, the child vomited, and he had to examine the filth carefully.

Jiang Qingyi saw the doctor examining the vomit on the ground, and she quickly asked, "Doctor, have you found anything new?"

The doctor didn't say anything for a while, and then he said, "There is something." He used a small wooden stick to pick a piece of pork belly in the vomit and said, "This meat has not been completely digested, but the color is wrong. I'm afraid it has been left out for several days before it is eaten. It's not a good thing!"

Chen immediately shouted, "This is definitely not from our family. The raw materials for our stewed food are all offal, and there is definitely no such fine meat!"

Wang said angrily, "Well, you black-hearted old woman, you gave your grandson bad meat and you blame us for it. What are you thinking?"

People watching nearby also said, "This stall really has never sold lean meat, so it's probably not their problem."

"This person must be reluctant to let the meat go bad so he gives it to the kid. How pitiful."

"Luckily the doctor cleared the stall owner's name, otherwise I don't know where to buy such delicious braised food in the future!"

"..."

Seeing that she couldn't deny it, the old woman still insisted, "Who knows if there's something wrong with their food? This is my grandson, how could I feed him rotten meat!"

Jiang Qingyi didn't want to spoil her at all. "If you insist on doing this, then we will go to the officials and let them judge the matter, so that some people with bad intentions won't come to cause trouble!"

When the old woman heard that she had to go see the official, she panicked. She picked up her child and rushed out of the crowd, still cursing, "You stupid girl, you're a money-loser. If you hadn't been making trouble here, I would have been able to..."

Passersby couldn't stand seeing such a shameless person, so they blocked her way and wouldn't let her leave.

"Go see the officer!"

"Go see the officer!"

The onlookers started to make a noise, and the old woman pretended to be pitiful and finally said something soft.

"Please let me go. My grandson is still sick. I have to take him to the clinic. It's my fault. I was blinded by greed and came to cause trouble. Please let me go!"

Although everyone was disgusted by the old woman's behavior, the child was innocent, so passers-by made way and let the old woman leave.

Jiang Qingyi felt that this matter still had some time to go on, because when she saw the old woman leave, the look in her eyes didn't look like she admitted her mistake.

The farce came to an end temporarily. To thank everyone for speaking up for justice, Chen said, "Thank you for speaking up for us. I promise that our stewed food is freshly made. Customers who come to buy stewed food in the future will get one pound free if they buy one pound."

When passersby heard what Chen said, they immediately cheered. They didn't expect the stall owner to be so generous and give away one or two pieces of rice for free, which would allow them to eat several more bites.

As a result, people who wanted to buy braised food became more enthusiastic and lined up in front of the stall.

The braised food prepared today was quickly sold out. Customers who didn’t buy any complained quietly, but they also knew that the stall only prepared a fixed amount of braised food every day, and it would be gone once they bought it, so they left after complaining a few times.

After returning home, the family talked about what happened today. After listening to what Chen said, Old Mrs. Jiang spat a few times and cursed angrily.

Others were also very angry, saying how could there be such a person in the world, and how shameless he was.

Jiang Qingyi thought that nothing else would happen after this incident.

But in the afternoon, a fat man dressed in silk knocked on their door.

Jiang Ping opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Tian Hongye did not answer, but asked, "Is this the Jiang family that sells braised food?"

Jiang Ping nodded, "Yes, but we have sold out the stewed food for today. If you want to buy some, you'd better wait until tomorrow."

Tian Hongye looked at Jiang Ping with disdain, "Boy, I'm not here to buy your braised food. I have a business to discuss with your master."

While Jiang Ping was hesitating, Jiang Qingyi's voice came from the main room, "Brother, let him in."

Jiang Ping let the person in, closed the door, and then led the person to the main house.

There were only two old people and Jiang Qingyi in the main house, and everyone else was busy preparing for tomorrow's affairs.

Tian Hongye walked in and looked down upon the small workshop of the Jiang family.

After arriving at the main house, Tian Hongye sat down on the chair without any politeness and his behavior was very disrespectful.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingyi knew that the person was up to no good, and her eyes quietly stopped on Tian Hongye.

Tian Hongye said directly, "I am Tian Hongye, the owner of Zhenxiu Pavilion. I accidentally tasted your stewed food and thought it tasted good. I would like to ask you to buy the recipe. Please name a price!"

Old Man Jiang couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and replied in a cold voice, "Sorry, the braised food is a family secret recipe and is not for sale. If you really like our braised food, you can send someone to buy it every day."

Tian Hongye thought that Old Man Jiang was trying to raise the price, and he felt very contemptuous, "Three hundred taels, sell the formula to me!"

Old Man Jiang remained unmoved, "This is a secret family recipe, and we have no intention of selling it."

Tian Hongye continued to offer, "Five hundred taels, I only want the formula, your family can continue to buy! Old man, you have to think clearly, if you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. I'm afraid your family will never be able to earn this five hundred taels in your lifetime!"

Old Man Jiang couldn't help it any longer, but the Treasure Pavilion was so powerful that he didn't want to cause trouble for his family, so he could only refuse coldly, "No sale!"

Tian Hongye also had a gloomy face. He didn't expect that the old man would be so ungrateful. However, the owner asked him to buy the things back through normal channels, so he could only continue to offer a price in a nice tone. "One thousand taels, this is the highest price we can offer."

Old man Jiang still shook his head, "No, Manager Tian, ​​please go back!"

Seeing that Old Man Jiang was adamant and refused to sell the recipe for the stewed food, Shopkeeper Tian could no longer tolerate his temper and stood up and said,

"Old man, do you know what the Treasure Pavilion is? You don't even give my master face. I think your Jiang family has come to an end in the capital. You just wait and see!"

After he said that, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Old Man Jiang looked at his departing back with worry, his expression somewhat gloomy.
