Chapter 31 Since you, host, have asked so sincerely
Lingyun received two videos.
In the first video.
The photographer stood to the side of the Wenchong shop, with the camera steadily aimed at the alley entrance.
After a short wait,
Several people dressed in market administration uniforms walked into the alley, holding forms in their hands and with their body cameras flashing red lights, and entered the shops.
The camera begins to zoom in, arriving near the store entrance, with the image shaking slightly.
Can be seen.
The group of bureau staff conducted a thorough inspection of the shop, checking the ledgers, inspecting the freezers, and examining the countertops. Several people worked together to do everything.
Lingyun was only gone for a day.
The basic structure of the shop's kitchen is still intact.
but.
Despite Wen Chong's efforts, numerous violations still occurred today, including mixing raw and cooked food areas and failing to separate utensils for raw and cooked foods.
This wouldn't normally be considered fatal.
But then...
A scene that made Lingyun laugh appeared.
The inspectors found a batch of pork deep inside the freezer, with piles of white fat that were particularly conspicuous.
Pork being passed off as beef.
This is an old technique that Wen Chong proposed a long time ago.
I never expected that they would use this tactic after I had only been gone for a day.
Ah!
Ling Yun realized what was happening.
This video is definitely Li Ge's confession.
The other party must have known he had pork in his possession, which is why they were able to target him so precisely.
As expected of a family that has been selling meat for generations.
This intelligence is incredibly accurate.
The final result was straightforward: a fine and a store closure for rectification.
inside the lens.
Wen Chong stood at the door, clutching the ticket stamped in bright red, his face as red as a pig's liver, muttering to himself about how unlucky he was.
Ling Yun couldn't help but shake his head.
Wen Chong is just that kind of person, always eager for quick success and instant benefits, and his eyes are always fixed on what's right in front of him.
When purchasing goods.
He only sees that pork is much cheaper than beef.
But don't know.
This is a potential hazard that could cause a shop to go bankrupt.
Being punished is not the worst thing.
This shop is already in a remote location. If customers find out that they are eating counterfeit goods, the shop's reputation will be ruined, and it will be close to closing down.
At this moment, Wen Chong, who was muttering about his bad luck, was clearly unaware of his own problem.
Ling Yun chuckled, a cold glint in his eyes.
In the future, even greater calamities await him.
The video ended as the law enforcement officers left.
Next up is Tiger's.
He's much more direct!
The scene shows a dark alley with dim streetlights and several bags of garbage piled up against the wall.
Tiger shouted, "So you're called Wen Chong, huh?"
Tiger stepped out of the shadows and shouted at the camera, "So you're Wen Chong, huh?!"
Seeing his menacing manner.
Wen Chong's face turned deathly pale, his lips trembled, and before he could turn around, he was kicked hard in the stomach by Tiger Brother, and his whole body bent over like a shrimp.
Tiger grabbed his collar, lifted him up, and slapped him dozens of times across the face.
The popping sounds were as crisp as firecrackers.
After finishing his cigarette, Tiger Brother abandoned him without hesitation and turned to leave.
The whole process was incredibly clean and efficient, taking less than three minutes.
The screen dimmed, as if it had been put into a pocket.
Tiger's gruff voice rang out:
"I didn't tell you about this beforehand because I didn't want to see you hesitate. I know you must have prepared a backup plan, but in my opinion, what method is more satisfying than slapping him across the face?"
"I've done it."
Whether you're happy or not, I don't care.
Tiger is really... straightforward!
Lingyun didn't know what to say.
He was happy to see Wen Chong beaten up like a pig's head, but he didn't want Tiger to get into trouble because of this.
obviously.
Tiger had long since retired from the underworld, and he didn't want the other party to get into trouble because of him.
Forget it, I'll just pretend I don't know.
He deleted the two videos.
After proving he could make money at the night market, Wen Chong was no longer a threat to him.
Through tonight.
Ling Yun became even more certain that food held a special place in this world, and he had already embarked on this highway whose destination was unknown.
His future is bright and promising.
There's no need to keep an eye on Wen Chong anymore.
For him, Wenchong was as important as mosquitoes.
We'll get the money back when it's due.
The other person then exited his world.
"It's time to place the order!"
Ling Yun put aside the thought of Wen Chong in his mind, recalculated the quantities, and decided on more than 700 servings of regular steak and ten servings of A5 Wagyu beef for tomorrow.
It is now 2 a.m.
He assumed that Brother Li was already resting, so after sending the message, he put down his phone and began the final touches.
But unexpectedly.
The phone rang very quickly.
Li Yi replied:
"Regular meat is fine, but we're out of A5 Wagyu. I'll get you five portions of M12 meat tomorrow. Use it wisely, this stuff is very scarce. I don't always have any. I still have some left over from last time."
These words completely stunned Ling Yun.
Top-quality ingredients either have connections or they don't.
But since you already have it.
We can't always only give ten pounds at a time, can we?
"Then I'll hold off on selling it for now?"
Lingyun tentatively replied.
Even without the chef-level beef, he can still make money with ordinary beef.
After all, it's not every day that someone can spend 2666.
Li Yi's reply came again very quickly:
"No, sell as much as you have. Hmm, don't take what I just said to heart. Just sell normally. I'll give you any meat I have, but you'll have to keep an eye out for developing new dishes."
Ling Yun was even more confused.
There's not much meat, yet you insist I sell it?
He and Li Yi were already very familiar with each other, especially after this dinner, which revealed something special. Since he had never been one to hold back with Li Yi, he asked directly:
"Brother Li, what's the trick to this?"
"It's hard to explain in a short time. Anyway, if you don't cook good meat, it will go bad. So just use it without worry. I'll tell you the reason for the meat shortage later. Just focus on developing new dishes."
I heard the other party mention new dishes for the second time.
Ling Yun immediately realized the importance of this.
A thought flashed through his mind, and without thinking twice, he blurted out:
"If we develop a few new dishes, will we be able to get more meat?"
"Three!"
Mr. Li's reply was concise and to the point.
Ling Yun didn't ask any further questions.
If you want to know the truth, then just develop more new dishes.
The number three, however, gave him another idea.
I replied with a "good".
Ling Yun silently questioned the system in his mind:
"What's so special about having three top-tier chef-level wingmen?"
System: "Host is indeed clever, but I can't tell you due to the rules. Let's review an ancient saying instead: 'One begets two, two begets three, three begets all things. Three is a very special number!'"
Before Lingyun could ask a question.
The system's subtitles continued to appear:
"Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll give you some advance notice: when your food cart is upgraded to LV2, it will gain the following benefits."
[Level 2 Food Cart (Refrigerated Display Case) Preservation: Refrigerated display cases can extend the shelf life of food by ten times, and some precious ingredients can slowly recover on their own]
Can precious ingredients slowly heal themselves?
really.
Even the system has ways to deal with the scarcity of top-quality ingredients.
That's interesting, really interesting!
Ling Yun's interest was completely piqued.
It seems.
If I can develop three divine dishes, I will not only solve the shortage of top-quality ingredients, but also truly glimpse a corner of this world.
Got it!
This is exactly what I do!
Just do it!
Ling Yun put away her phone, neatly tidied up the food cart, and headed towards the rented room.
He hummed a song all the way.
The night breeze brushed against my cheek, carrying the chill of the deep night.
As he passed the Jiangxi breakfast shop and arrived at the door of his rented room, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
It was a little after 2 a.m.
The courtyard gate was wide open?
Ling Yun's heart immediately jumped into her throat.
He turned on his phone, dialed the three digits for the emergency number, hovered his finger above the dial button, picked up a stick from the roadside, held it in his hand, feeling the rough wooden pole against his palm, and then slowly pushed open the courtyard gate.
The courtyard gate opened silently, without the hinges making a sound.
Ling Yun used a stick to push the door tightly against the wall, and only after confirming that no one could hide in the doorway did he go inside.
We arrived in the courtyard.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, he saw Ning Jing sitting on the floor, covering her face, her shoulders trembling.
Another man, reeking of alcohol, was staggering and throwing things down from the second floor.
Clothes, cups, and books crashed to the floor with a clatter, shards of glass scattering everywhere.
What's wrong?
Ning Jing, who was jokingly called a fierce woman, actually let the other party smash things without moving.
"stop!"
Ling Yun gripped the stick tightly, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"What are you doing? I've already called the police!"
