It’s no wonder that Zhao Qinglan was the first to suspect Qian Hongxia, because Qian Hongxia and her husband had too many criminal records.
However, this was just her suspicion and there was no substantial evidence.
Zhao Qinglan did not speak out immediately about Qian Hongxia and her husband's suspicions.
"Mom, why don't we reinforce the doors and windows in the store?"
I don't know if there is a security door at this time.
Today's technology is not developed enough and there is no monitoring available.
They can only think of more solutions elsewhere.
Sun and her two daughters didn't think much about it, they just felt that Zhao Qinglan was right.
Li Huai sensed some meaning in his wife's words, but seeing that she didn't say anything, he didn't ask any further questions.
Go find a master to reinforce the doors and windows and tidy up the shop.
After a lot of fussing, half a day passed.
When Zhao Qinglan left, he specially called his second sister over.
"Qingzhu, you and Qingju have been paying more attention to the wonton shop on the opposite street recently to see if there are any changes in their business. If there are any other abnormalities, take note of them."
"Sister, do you doubt them?" Zhao Qingzhu reacted quickly.
"It's just multiple directions of investigation."
"I know, sister."
Zhao Qingzhu was still very angry about the thief in his store.
Not to mention messing with damaged things, being closed for one day will also affect the business. If this kind of thing happens frequently in the future, then their store will be ruined.
On the way back, Li Huai asked.
"Qinglan, are you the subject of suspicion?"
"Not really, I just asked Qingzhu to pay attention to the situation in Qian Hongxia's store."
Thinking about Qian Hongxia's style, Li Huai also felt that Qian Hongxia could be a target of suspicion.
"So is there a secret recipe in the kitchen?"
"No, they are all made fresh on the day. It's just that the ingredients for the soup base are all stored in the back kitchen. Even if they are stolen, they don't know what proportions to use."
If the other party could really experiment a little bit to prepare a similar base, then she would really admire it.
But if you have this spirit, it’s not a good idea to delve into it on your own.
Indeed, when Qian Hongxia and her brother and sister-in-law saw a pile of seasonings and spices placed in front of them, they were a little dumbfounded.
Qian Hongxia and her brother and sister-in-law are in charge of the kitchen together. Her sister-in-law and sister-in-law are responsible for making the wontons, while her brother cooks the wontons.
Their wonton soup base only has some salt and MSG added, but nothing else.
As for the wontons, the fillings are made by ourselves just like homemade dumplings, and the meat and other ingredients are the worst-selling ones.
To say that none of them are good at cooking.
No matter which one it is, at most it’s just a home-cooked meal.
If it weren't for the wonton pearls from the time-honored snack shop, their wonton shop might still have some business, but with better-tasting ones in front of them, unless they don't know better, a fool would spend the same money to eat something with a worse taste.
Not proficient in cooking, none of them knew what to do with the condiments placed in front of them.
"That's it anyway. You hurry up and make delicious wontons." Qian Hongxia ordered.
"Hongxia, where did you get all this? Is it reliable?" Qian Hongxia's brother questioned.
"Brother, that time-honored store uses these things, okay? Don't waste your time, hurry up and fix it."
I don’t know where Yang Qingmin contacted the gangster and paid him to steal things from a time-honored store.
As a result, a lot of them were stolen.
Naturally, Qian Hongxia would not disclose the origin of things at will, she just wanted to make wontons with the same taste as the time-honored brand as soon as possible and make a lot of money.
But it would be great if doing business was that simple.
The few customers who came into the store by chance today all tasted wontons with different flavors and strange soup bases.
Compared with the wontons that tasted ordinary soup before, it was even more scary.
Anyway, the few people who have eaten here will never come again for a second time.
Zhao Qinglan has been waiting for news about her sister since she returned home.
In just three days, my sister Zhao Qingzhu called.
After chatting with Zhao Qinglan for a while, Zhao Qinglan started laughing.
It turned out that Qian Hongxia and her shop were harassed by customers who complained that their wontons were unpalatable, but actually made people go back with vomiting and diarrhea. As a result, everyone was sent to the hospital.
This commotion was witnessed by Zhao Qingzhu, mother and daughter, and attracted many onlookers.
Zhao Qingzhu happened to join in the fun and came over to watch for a while and heard some other news.
For example, how unpalatable are the wontons in this store? In the past few days, they have become even more unpalatable.
Originally it was only five points of suspicion, but now Zhao Qinglan has eight or nine points.
They are extremely disgusted with Qian Hongxia and her husband.
I just hope that because of this incident, the other party can calm down a little bit.
Thinking of this, she thought about how to improve the safety factor of the snack bar.
Zhao Qinglan told Li Huai all these words when he came back in the evening, without even stopping the excitement in Qian Hongxia's shop.
Li Huai was equally disgusted with the couple. He really couldn't do those dirty tricks, otherwise he would have taken Yang Qingmin away first.
As for improving the safety of the snack bar, he has an idea.
"Why don't you get a dog?"
Yes, you can keep a dog. Why didn't she think of that?
"But where are the dogs?"
Nowadays, people in many places do not have enough to eat, and there is no food to raise dogs. Anyway, she has never seen anyone raising dogs since she was reborn.
And when it comes to raising a dog, you have to at least start with a puppy.
"Leave this to me, you don't have to worry about it."
Well, to be honest, her memory of many things that happened decades ago is blurred, and she is really not as capable as Li Huai.
I don’t know where Li Huai found it, but within two days, he brought back a puppy that was just one month old.
Zhao Qinglan had never raised a dog in her previous life, but she still knew the common dog breeds. This is because after people's living conditions generally improved in later generations, more and more people raised cats and dogs.
This puppy looks like a very good breed of German Shepherd.
If this one hadn't been specially brought to increase the defense of the store, she would have wanted to keep the puppy.
It was her unilateral idea to raise a dog in the store. She didn't know if it would be possible before she picked up the puppy, so she didn't tell her mother and sister yet.
When the puppy was picked up, it was left in their yard.
There are very few children who don't like cats and dogs.
As soon as the puppy was picked up, the three brothers and sisters of Dawa walked around the puppy reluctantly.
The puppy has wet eyes and is very affectionate. It wants to come over and give it a nuzzle and lick when it sees it. It is very cute.
Although Zhao Qinglan has never raised a dog, she has met many retired uncles and aunts who raise and walk dogs, and she also knows a little bit about raising dogs.
For example, dogs cannot eat food that contains too much salt, and there are no dairy products at home, so she soaks some shredded steamed buns in rice cereal paste and feeds them to the dogs.
Their family is not in need of meat now, but they are not so luxurious as to feed meat to dogs.
After all, the Wu Mei family basically relies on the meat coupons issued by Captain Sun to eat meat several times a month.
If their family feeds meat to their dogs, people will see how they feel.
Being able to feed steamed buns to dogs is already a very luxurious and wasteful behavior in the eyes of many people.
She didn't dwell too much on the incident of the shop being stolen, but Qian Hongxia's family was in a commotion.
