They all walked to the backyard and looked into the kitchen.
Master Chen, who was in charge of making pastries, hurriedly explained.
"I'm not seriously ill, I'm just feeling a little unwell."
However, at this point, he may have been too excited and started coughing continuously.
The scholar hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and ran out of the kitchen.
He turned around and pointed at Master Chen and shouted: "On my way into the capital a few days ago, I heard that many people near the capital were infected with a strange disease!"
"It looks like a cold, but it's not. This disease is contagious, and whoever gets it will get sick!"
"He coughs like this, maybe he has that disease!"
The scholar's words shocked the guests who came to buy cakes.
They still remember that many years ago, there was an overwhelming epidemic that swept across the country.
Many people died at that time.
If it weren't for Yong Yehou, Zhang Yushi and several other ministers, working together to suppress and control.
I'm afraid everyone is already dead!
They all started talking, full of panic——
"Could it be another epidemic? If it is true, it's over!"
"This chef is still making pastries when he is sick. It is really irresponsible. If he is infected with us, it will not kill us!"
"That's right! The Four Seasons Candy Shop is still the princess's shop, but it's so unreliable!"
Qi Jingsheng heard the sound and hurried over from the shop next door.
After he understood the situation clearly, he explained urgently: "Please be patient, Master Chen is not suffering from cold, but..."
Unexpectedly, he didn't even finish his words.
Suddenly a man in the crowd fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
The guests screamed in fright.
Someone shouted: "The epidemic is coming, run away! The princess's shop will eat people to death!"
Everyone fled from the store one after another, just like fleeing from the flood.
Mr. Jiang stood at the door. He quickly waved his arms and wanted to explain to everyone.
However, in the chaos, someone pushed him down.
Mr. Jiang fell heavily to the ground, and because of the old problems with his legs and feet, he had no time to stand up and leave, and was stepped on by several people.
When Qi Jingsheng saw it, his eyes turned red, and he hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and ran away.
"Grandpa Jiang!" He protected Mr. Jiang.
The people around him ran away with a crash.
The Four Seasons Candy Shop, which was bustling with people and bustling just now, suddenly turned into an empty house with a mess on the ground.
Ning Chudie, who was in charge of the cashier, hurried over.
"Is Grandpa Jiang okay? Brother Jingsheng, what should we do now?"
Qi Jingsheng gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with complexity.
"Sister Chudie, you take two boys and send Grandpa Jiang to a nearby medical center first. I have to stay and deal with the aftermath."
Ning Chudie quickly asked someone to pick up the unconscious Mr. Jiang and carry him to the carriage.
Qi Jingsheng returned to the shop.
Master Chen's eyes turned red as he blamed himself: "Manager Qi, I'm sorry, I caused trouble to the store."
"I don't give up all my monthly money. I will make up for whatever I can. When the princess comes, I will kowtow to her to apologize."
Qi Jingsheng stabilized his mind and said firmly, "Master Chen, this matter has nothing to do with you."
He glanced around: "Where is the man who just fell here foaming at the mouth?"
Master Chen and the little boy were both stunned.
"It's strange, the person was still here just now! Could it be that someone took advantage of the chaos and was carried away?"
Qi Jingsheng's expression turned cold.
He frowned: "I'm afraid, someone deliberately came here to target our candy shop."
