Jin Xiaolou followed to take a look after hearing the commotion, while Carpenter Sun and his son went into the kitchen together.

Fresh chicken meat, fresh from being butchered, was neatly placed on the cabinet. It didn't look out of the ordinary.

”What's wrong?” Jin Xiaolou asked Kuang Ruyue.

Kuang Ruyue frowned, and wrinkled her nose: ”This chicken looks wet, and smell a little pungent.”

”Especially this smell.” Kuang Ruyue's face became even more solemn, ”In the past, when my son was cold and sluggish, he found my husband to open a soup and added in some rice bean, it was exactly the same.”

”Bean?!” The Carpenter Sun was anxious, ”You don't dare to say such words carelessly. The crotch is a cathartic and poisonous drug, even when using it, you are extremely careful, why would you add it to the chicken?”

Jin Xiaolou's eyes flashed. It was still early in the morning, so the backyard was still quiet. The two girls, Gui Qi and the other two were still sleeping soundly.

Jin Xiaolou called Zhou Shuli in, and told him to go get a doctor: ”Remember, tell him that I have diarrhea, and ask the doctor to come and take a look at my illness.”

Zhou Shuli nodded and left. Jin Xiaolou told Kuang Ruyue to cut a piece of the chicken and put it into a small porcelain bowl after cooking it. Then, she followed Jin Xiaolou into a room.

After half a cup of tea's worth of time, the doctor came rushing in with a medicine box on his shoulder. Seeing Jin Xiaolou leaning weakly on the chair, she raised her hand to take her pulse.

Jin Xiaolou immediately retracted her hand, and said softly: ”I'm not busy, doctor, please take a look at this food for me. It's because I ate this last night that I started having a stomach upset. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the small porcelain bowl on the table.

The doctor only took a whiff of it before frowning deeply and sighing, ”This is, Boss Jin has been scammed by someone!”

”What?” Jin Xiaolou pretended to be shocked, ”Doctor, are you able to see accurately?”

”Absolutely!” The doctor took out a silver needle and poked the chicken, ”The bean is very hot and has a lot of poison. It's a strong laxative. If you eat too much it will not only upset your stomach, but it will also kill you.”

”Alright.” Jin Xiaolou nodded her head, took out a piece of silver and gave it to the doctor: ”Thank you, doctor, Sister Ruyue, please send the doctor out.”

”This …” Seeing Jin Xiaolou's appearance, he had a certain aura, causing him to not dare say more, he only accepted the money and left, treating it as if he had offended someone in the business, and thought that someone was trying to harm Boss Jin.

Jin Xiaolou called Carpenter Sun into the room and slowly opened her mouth: ”This is certain now, someone is trying to harm our Mountain Note.”

”Uncle Sun, is there anyone in the village who hasn't rented a field for us?” Jin Xiaolou asked Carpenter Sun.

Carpenter Sun nodded his head: ”At first there were still a dozen or so families who were a little apprehensive, but recently everyone saw a great harvest from renting fields, so living was a little easier, and all of them dispelled their misgivings. Right now, there was only … Jin Family, they actually tried every means to rent out the land, but we refused. ”

The last time Jin Xiaolou had heard about it, Madame Xu was the center of the area where Jin Xiaotao bought them a small courtyard. Jin Shun and the Madame Xu both moved into the city, leaving behind the two women, Madame Wu and Jin Xiaotao.

Madame Wu had been sick ever since, and her health was not well every two or three days. She couldn't even take care of her mother-in-law, let alone work on the ground.

Now, the fields around the Jin Family were all abandoned and they had to pay taxes to the Shangguan Family.

Jin Xiaolou nodded her head: ”It's most likely because of the Jin Family, that they couldn't get better, and didn't think much of me.”

The responsibility for the food safety was more important than Mount Tai. If the quality of the ingredients was not checked carefully, when this reputation was spread, perhaps no one would dare come to eat again.

Therefore, Jin Xiaolou had purposely pretended to be sick just now and asked the doctor to look for him. If the doctor found out that it was a chicken with Mountain Note, then there would be a problem … Even if he wasn't a talkative person, he was afraid that he had accidentally let the wind blow past him.

The people who were jealous of the Mountain Note were worrying about nothing, and if they found out the reason, Jin Xiaolou was afraid that the signboard that was just made would collapse.

I'll pull the chicken back right away and tell Rizhao that I have to show them what a wicked woman they are!” Carpenter Sun was filled with anger. This was a matter that could lead to death. The two women from the Jin family did this kind of thing just because they couldn't see anyone good. What a vicious heart.

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

”Wait a moment.” Jin Xiaolou anxiously shouted, ”Uncle Sun, don't be anxious, leave the chicken here.”

Jin Xiaolou paused for a moment, and slowly said: ”To catch a thief, one must take their dirt. If you go and find the Jin Family to settle the score, they will definitely not recognize you, and there will be two at once. In two days, you will spread word that the guests in Mountain Note have eaten food and have a stomach upset, and are trying to grab Boss Jin to compensate. Fortunately, nothing big has happened, and I have to sigh, there definitely won't be a next time, if not I might not be able to open the Mountain Note again. ”

Jin Xiaolou laughed: ”Don't let the wind get too far, all you need to do is for the Jin Family people to hear it. After that, all you need to do is to call for people to watch over Madame Zhou and wait for her to make a move.

Carpenter Sun was enlightened: ”Little Lou, you have an idea!”

When Jin Xiaolou came out from her room, the kitchen had already started preparing food. As it was a fast food meal, many things were prepared in advance, and would be brought up if the guests heated it up.

While Lv Yun and Ru Yi were busy in the shop, Jin Xiaolou called Kuang Ruyue over: ”Those chicken should be buried while people aren't paying attention. Also, from today onwards, find two trustworthy people to be responsible for inspecting the daily ingredients and food that comes out, you must ensure the quality of our Mountain Note.”

Gui Qi was in the house making some clothes for the Lin'er. He stretched out his hand to compare the length of the Lin'er and then hurriedly cut the thread. However, when the thread was pulled, he reached the bottom.

Lin'er, who was dressed warmly, crawled around on the bed on all fours. He suddenly raised his head and chuckled towards the window.
