"What? It's poisonous?"

"That's outrageous! They're selling it for ten coins!"

"Refund!"

Before Jin Xue'er and the others could react to what was happening, they heard the indignant words of the onlookers, who finally shouted in unison that they wanted a refund!

Although Tian and the others were startled, they quickly recovered. She reached out, brushed the rotten vegetable leaves off her face, and started cursing at the woman on the ground: "Pah, you're spouting nonsense!"

"Don't even think about ruining our shop!"

Tian, ​​who was used to farm work and could do all sorts of chores around the house, grabbed the woman's hand and said, "Tell me, who sent you?"

Previously, when Manager Ji from Zhou's cosmetics shop came to the shop to inquire about this and that, Cheng Qiqi told them how to handle things if they encountered any problems.

"We eat the taro balls from our own home, so who got poisoned?"

Jin Xue'er brushed the rotten vegetable leaves off her clothes, enduring the nauseating smell, and stepped forward with pursed lips: "Every taro ball sold in our shop is clean and free of poison."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the officers to be witnesses!"

Jin Xue'er's words reminded Tian Shi, who excitedly said, "Yes, please have the officials come and witness that our food is clean and there is absolutely no problem."

"Yes, please summon the officers."

Jin Xueer immediately echoed her.

Although the others were somewhat frightened, seeing that Tian Shi and Jin Xue'er stood tall without any fear, they echoed, "Please, officers!"

Zhuang Sanmei stared at the woman and asked, "Who in your family got poisoned from eating taro balls? Which clinic are they at now? How are they?"

"Yes, who in your family got food poisoning from eating taro balls?"

A step too late, Jin Yanzhi, Leng Yu, and Zhuang Haichao, who had been delivering firewood, came over and said, "Our whole village ate taro balls, and not a single person reported being poisoned!"

"So, we misunderstood?"

The onlookers, listening to their self-righteous words, couldn't help but become suspicious.

They ate it several times, so how did they get food poisoning?

"Let go, you madman, let go now!"

The woman, who had been held down tightly by Madam Tian, ​​finally managed to break free and said, "My son, my son is only ten years old! He ate your taro balls yesterday and started vomiting and having diarrhea. If this isn't poisoning, what is it?"

The woman pointed at them and said, "My son got poisoned after eating your taro balls!"

"I'm not lying. My son is still at Huichun Medical Clinic, taking his medicine!"

The woman spoke excitedly.

"Huichun Medical Clinic is not far from here."

"Let's go and see who's telling the truth."

"If this really causes poisoning, I'll never dare to eat it again!"

The number of onlookers was increasing.

"Come on, I'll go with you to see!"

As she spoke, Tian immediately whispered, "Quickly, go back to the village, find Qiqi, and get here as fast as you can. I'll go to the clinic to check on her first."

After giving instructions to Jin Yanzhi, Madam Tian looked up and looked at Zhuang Sanmei and Zhuang Haichao.

"Third sister, come with me, and Haichao too."

If a fight really breaks out, then there must be someone who can fight!

Zhuang Sanmei is one of the most capable and skilled widows. Zhuang Haichao is her own son, so there's no need to say more. If a fight breaks out, she will definitely protect him.

"Xue'er, Zhenmei, Arong, Lengyu, you stay in the shop and continue making fish balls and taro balls."

Madam Tian instructed, "Keep a close eye on things, and make sure no one does anything sabotage it."

"Don't worry, Auntie."

Leng Yu straightened his back, his expression solemn.

If this matter isn't handled properly today, their hard-earned shops will not only fail to make money, but they might not even be able to keep operating.

"Could someone please call an official? The taro balls we sell here are absolutely non-poisonous!"

Tian spoke with conviction. Having served the village head for so many years, Tian was no fool.

"I'll go."

Sister Fu'an, standing in the crowd, volunteered to go find the officials, saying, "I believe Madam Cheng; she would never sell poisoned food!"

Ever since Cheng Qiqi taught them some first aid knowledge for choking, Sister Fu'an has trusted Cheng Qiqi a lot.

So, I originally came here to buy taro balls, but who knew I'd run into this mess.

"Thank you, girl."

Ms. Tian recognized Sister Fu'an and was extremely grateful.

Guihuali Village.

Cheng Qiqi was in the workshop, experimenting with everyone to find the right amount of jelly seeds and water. After several trials, she found the answer.

"It's done!"

Cheng Qiqi looked happily at the freshly made jelly, which was neither too soft nor too hard, with just the right texture.

"Madam Cheng, from now on, we'll follow this standard."

Song Wu Niang said happily, "One portion of fruit seeds and one basin of water."

As Song Wu Niang spoke, she hurriedly and clearly remembered the quantity, saying, "The fruit seeds also need to be dried until they are half-dry before making the jelly; that will make them even better."

"Um."

Cheng Qiqi glanced sideways as she listened to Song Wuniang dividing the fruit seeds into portions, while also noting the exact amount of water in each basin.

"Song Wu Niang, having you in the workshop is truly perfect!"

Cheng Qiqi thought Guihua Village was really great, it was full of talented people!

"Don't worry, Madam Cheng, I will definitely do my best."

Song Wu Niang straightened her chest, as if she had been entrusted with some important responsibility. Her solemn appearance made Cheng Qi Qi turn her head involuntarily.

Song Wu Niang is really suited for this job. No matter what you put in her hands, if you give her a standard, she will execute it meticulously according to that standard!

"come on."

Cheng Qiqi said encouragingly.

"Something terrible has happened, sister-in-law!"

Jin Yanzhi was panting heavily as he ran home. Not seeing Cheng Qiqi, he immediately rushed to the sugar shop. As soon as he saw Cheng Qiqi, he explained everything that had happened in the county in just a few words.

"You're saying someone got food poisoning? Because they ate our taro balls?"

Cheng Qiqi was surprised for a moment, feeling that it had finally come.

From selling pickled cabbage porridge to now selling white sugar water, fish balls, sugarcane vinegar, taro balls, and floral dew, everything is profitable. It's no wonder some people are envious.

"Yes, that woman was yelling and screaming, saying that our taro balls would cause poisoning, and what else...

Jin Yanzhi paused, catching his breath, before saying, "He's at Huichun Pavilion treating a patient. That child is only ten years old!"

"Sister-in-law, Aunt Tian has taken Zhuang Haichao and Sister Zhuang to Huichun Pavilion to see if the child really got poisoned from eating taro balls."

Jin Yanzhi said quickly, "Xue'er, Song Zhenmei, and Leng Yu are staying at the shop, sister-in-law, what should we do now?"

Jin Yanzhi was extremely worried. On the way back, he thought about it all the way, but he still didn't know how to break this deadlock.
