It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 576 [225] Recovery Bug and Happiness Pot
Seeing the young master coming in person, Ding Ling, who was being held by the burly operator by the back of the neck, became a little more courageous: "Quick, quick, put me down! I said I am the young master's woman!"

The sheriff holding the German Shepherd looked at Qin Jiandan. Qin Jiandan felt uneasy and quickly explained in a low voice: "This is part of the deal I made with Ding Jingshuang for the crystal processing factory! I let Ding Ling say she is my mistress just to give her a talisman!"

Mu Yue tightened the leash, seeming to transfer her anger to the dog. She pretended not to mind and said, "As long as they are not my family members like Han Shiyu, you can do whatever you want with other women...but why do you only look for young and beautiful ones?"

Qin Jiandan frowned: "Aren't there also fish people? Ding Ling's mother Ding Jingshuang has already targeted Tiger Chi, leaving only Ding Ling to me. Do I have to exchange with Tiger Chi?"

Mu Yue's face turned pale: "Don't say anything, let's solve the food hygiene problem as soon as possible."

Ding Ling's recorder was still playing over and over again, "Our protein powder is made from recycled dead cockroaches." Zhu Shengzhi broke away from the West City diners who were trying to take pictures, walked over to Ding Ling, snatched the recorder away and pressed the off button.

"Give me back the recorder!" With the support of the young master, Ding Ling defended his rights in a loud voice, "I just took a photo of the cockroach protein powder. This big bucket of cockroach protein powder is still in the kitchen!"

The diners in Xicheng couldn't understand the dialect of the strong operator, but they could understand Ding Ling's Mandarin. Some people asked hesitantly: "Cockroach... What does protein powder mean? Did cockroaches get into the kitchen?"

Zhu Shengzhi was very angry. He picked up a piece of bright red pepper from the cooking table and stuffed it into Ding Ling's mouth without saying anything. The rabbit reporter opened his eyes wide as if he had swallowed charcoal by mistake, and his whole tongue was burning with spiciness.

"Spicy... so spicy! It's so spicy it's killing me!"

Qin Jiandan quickly walked behind Zhu Shengzhi and slapped him on the back of his bald head.

"Who told you to touch Ding Ling? Didn't you tell me she was my woman? You ground up cockroaches and passed them off as protein powder, and you abused the reporters who came to investigate. Zhu Laoer, you don't want to open this big restaurant anymore, right?"

The young master gave the order, and the sturdy operator quickly put Ding Ling down. Ding Ling covered her mouth, which was irritated by the spiciness, and rushed to the Luoying Hotel across the street, asking Xiaoxia to give her a bottle of milk to dilute the spiciness. Xiaoxia took on the responsibility of the dispatcher.

Mu Yue led the German Shepherd into the kitchen and efficiently confirmed that Ding Ling's recording was true. Rui Shuang pointed to a large bucket of cockroach protein powder and asked innocently, "Mom, can this chocolate powder be fed to the dog?"

Zhu Shengzhi was hit on the head and almost fell forward. He sent a strong operator to disperse the tourists from Xicheng who wanted to take pictures, and explained to Qin Jiandan while covering the six scars on his head:
"Young Master, you have wronged me! I am responding to the president's call to conserve resources and recycling the cockroach corpses from Gesang!"

"Why, is there something about Gesang here? Would an honest man like Gesang go along with you?"

It is true that Gesang's life transfer ability will produce a large number of dead cockroaches, but Qin Jiandan remembered that the dead cockroaches should be returned in batches to cockroach farmers and used as feed for new cockroaches.

"Zhu Shengzhi, are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I will go to confront Gesang! Gesang is also selling things in the Shaman Spiritual Items Shop anyway."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Zhu Shengzhi had to confess: "The disposal of the cockroach corpses was handed over to Aunt He, and Aunt He handed it over to Cuihua. I got these from Cuihua and decided to recycle them to save costs - but cockroach powder is completely harmless to humans, I can prove it!"

At this point, Zhu Shengzhi picked up the bucket of cockroach protein powder with both hands and swallowed it raw without water. He was choked and coughed and shed tears. He hurriedly shouted: "Young Master, look! I have no problem eating so much... cough cough... This stuff is high in protein and can also strengthen virility! It is not only harmless to the human body, but also has miraculous effects!"

A clever clerk among the staff took the opportunity to explain to the diners in the store (especially those in West City): "Those are not cockroaches, but "recovery bugs" cultivated in vertical farms. They have miraculous aphrodisiac effects and are much more expensive than ordinary protein powder. Only Shengzhi Hotel is willing to use such good stuff!"

There are still many East City diners clamoring for a refund, while West City diners are more easily deceived. Someone said happily: "So that's it! It's worthy of the mysterious Eastern power. Now my sheep tail can be saved!"

Zhu Shengzhi swallowed half a bucket of cockroach powder and almost died on the spot. After watching the excitement, Qin Jiandan still ordered Shengzhi Hotel to close down for rectification.

"Young Master, you are so mean! Since you decided to shut me down, you should have stopped me when I started swallowing cockroach powder!"

Qin Jiandan snorted, "This is your punishment. Who told you to deceive the customers and stuff chili peppers into Ding Ling's mouth?"

Zhu Shengzhi murmured, "I know, only the young master can fill it..."

After drinking the milk to relieve the spiciness, Ding Ling ran back to Shengzhi Hotel. Zhu Shengzhi returned the recorder to her, but she refused to give in:

"You are so mean! I am going to write this story as 'The Fall of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall: A Fake Monk Saves All Living Things with Cockroach Powder', unless you are willing to buy out all the past issues of our magazine!" Seeing that Qin Jiandan acquiesced to Ding Ling's blackmail, Zhu Shengzhi had no choice but to agree: "Buy it if you want. How much stock do you have of this crappy magazine? If you can't sell it, just stop publishing it!"

Qin Jiandan ordered Zhu Shengzhi to waive the bills for the diners, and also compensated each East City diner with 500 yuan for medical expenses, and asked them to keep their mouths shut and not talk about Zhu Shengzhi's selling inferior food as good ones. The West City diners only got their bills waived, but no medical expenses or hush money.

This has nothing to do with racial discrimination, it's just about the self and the enemy. The Ni'an Club claimed that "the money you spend on eating in East City may become bullets fired at West City", which is not wrong in essence. Thanks to Zhu Shengzhi's performance of swallowing cockroach powder, many West City diners believe that they are eating "magic healing powder" that is specifically for curing sheep's tail. If you tell them the truth at this time, they may spread the word everywhere, affecting the performance of other legitimate stores.

After the cockroach powder incident, Ruishuang held her mother's German Shepherd for a while and imitated her mother's serious expression. Whenever the 12-year-old girl passed by a store, she would say to the store owners in a childish voice: "If there is a problem with your food, Ruishuang will not let you go!"

Qin Jiandan spent some time alone with Ding Ling. He first praised Ding Ling for her courage in exposing the dark side of the catering industry, and then asked Ding Ling if he could get a detailed map of the spider web tunnel through his mother, especially the part leading to District 12 from District 11.

As a mining family, the Ding family is responsible for developing and managing the spider web tunnels under Ringstone City. Even the abandoned parts have maps. The Night Dragon Society is about to launch a large-scale attack on District 11. If they can get a detailed map, it will definitely be a great help.

"I... I'll ask my mother. She should be willing to give it to me... Thank you for helping me just now, young master. Otherwise, I don't know how many peppers I would have been stuffed into my mouth..."

Qin Jiandan did not answer, but put his arm around the rabbit reporter's shoulders and forcefully pulled her body towards him. Ding Ling realized later that the young master was showing off their relationship in public and improving his own status. In this way, even someone like Zhu Shengzhi would be wary.

When doing this, Qin Jiandan had to avoid the sheriff, but accidentally bumped into Vale who was patrolling from the other direction. Vale was holding the golden retriever "Amber", giving people a sense of absurdity of "dog holding dog".

"What the hell are you doing while I'm frying eggs? You're secretly eating rabbit while Mu Yue and I are away, right?"

Ding Ling tried to break free in fear, but was no match for Qin Jiandan's powerful hands.

"I'm just pretending to make everyone believe that Ding Ling is my mistress. Isn't your situation similar?"

"Me?" The dog ears on Vale's head stood up high. "I'm not just pretending to be with you, am I? Has she ever eaten the porridge carelessly?"

"Mom! Dad and the dogs are there! Vale is still the same as before, with lots of dogs!"

Ruishuang and the German Shepherd ran to Qin Jiandan quickly, and Mu Yue had no choice but to follow quickly. As Valei looked suspicious, Mu Yue asked, "What did you say just now?"

Vale immediately stood at attention like a subordinate to his superior and reported, "I said I am the chief licker of the sheriff. I can lick him all day and all night without getting tired!"

Under Vale's cover, Qin Jiandan quietly let go of Ding Ling's shoulders, and Ding Ling quickly ran away. It was unknown whether she went to continue the interview or to follow Qin Jiandan's instructions and call her mother for a map.

The family of three (plus three dogs) walked side by side for a while. Seeing someone using a public phone in the mall, Mu Yue was inspired: "Nestor told me that my father installed a pay phone in the villa for guests to use. This way he doesn't have to pay for the phone himself, and can save money for gambling."

Vale couldn't help but complain: "Mr. Han is too stingy! You don't have many guests at home, and the police department has their own walkie-talkies - so wouldn't it be Jiandan who has to pay to use the phone?"

Rui Shuang, who had stopped holding the dog, held her hands to her chest and said, "Grandpa is so stingy! He actually wants to take away Dad's gold coins!"

Qin Jiandan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "My father-in-law might be angry with me because he didn't invite him to the drinking parties several times..."

When they passed by Luoying Hotel again during the second round of patrol, Xiao Xia saw that Shengzhi Hotel opposite was closed for reorganization, so she hurriedly hired actors who sang Henan Bangzi to her side. She asked them to sing "The Nativity of Jesus in Zhumadian" while making up lyrics to mock Zhu Shengzhi.

Xiao Xia was also inspired by the "Shaman Spiritual Objects Shop" and held a pottery with no craft value to promote it to the customers in line: "Everyone, this is a pot that can make people happy, don't you want to buy one?"

"Do you think this pot is too cumbersome? Don't worry, I still have the secret tonic pill of the Falling Cherry Blossom Group - Konohamaru! Just take one pill and it will provide continuous energy for 72 hours, say goodbye to dark circles, and let your liver cells learn the Sage Mode!"
