Chapter 112 – 112: Sanitary Issues
“`
It was just past eight in the morning when customer traffic at the shop reached its peak.
Ever since Chen Yu had introduced his special free porridge, the number of delivery personnel frequenting the shop had increased significantly.
These delivery riders generally shared a common ailment, which Chen Yu’s special porridge could alleviate.
Moreover, with orders potentially coming in every minute, they could snatch up orders even if they stayed put in the shop’s lobby.
As Chen Yu was busy helping Wang Qingshan in the kitchen, a group of health inspectors suddenly entered the shop.
“Nobody move, routine inspection!”
A loud shout instantly quieted the entire shop, and then the employees, holding professional equipment, proceeded inside.
A middle-aged man with a serious look approached Chen Yu somewhat apologetically.
“Chen, don’t overthink it. We’re just responding to a report, so we’re conducting a routine inspection! It’s just a formality,” he said.
Chen Yu didn’t say much. The middle-aged man leading the group was Li Yang, head of the local environmental department.
The first time he had come to eat at the shop, he had already scoured the place thoroughly.
“No problem, Brother Li. Please, just do your search!”
Li Yang smiled and then licked his lips, scooping up a bowl of porridge from a nearby bucket.
“Ah, what did you add to this porridge? Drinking it makes the whole body feel warm and comfortable!”
“Licorice, Panax notoginseng, along with some common Chinese herbs,” Chen Yu responded offhandedly.
Upon hearing this, Li Yang had another bowl.
“You tell me, you serve such good porridge for free; if it were me, I’d sell it for ten or eight yuan a bowl.
The delivery boy nearby was not pleased.
“Brother Li, Chen is giving out free porridge to take care of us! You saying that is like depriving us of our benefits!”
Li Yang laughed heartily, “I’m only joking.”
The inspection team searched upstairs and downstairs and, finding nothing amiss, quickly gathered in the first-floor lobby preparing to leave.
Just then, a man wearing sunglasses suddenly shouted.
“Yikes! Why is there a giant centipede in this vegetable roll?”
That shout instantly drew everyone’s attention. The man in sunglasses held the vegetable roll high up for all to see.
Indeed, a centipede was wriggling inside.
Several people on the scene jumped in fear, letting out shrieks.
Li Yang, too, widened his eyes and stepped forward, taking the vegetable roll from the man’s hand.
Unexpectedly, the centipede twisted its body and bit Li Yang on the wrist.
Li Yang cried out in pain and took a few steps back, clutching his wrist.
Chen Yu’s pupils dilated. The head of the centipede was blood-red, a trait only found in toxic tropical centipedes.
Without a moment’s delay, Chen Yu swiftly moved forward to support Li Yang while swiftly stomping on the centipede that had fallen to the ground.
“Brother Li, don’t move, keep your breathing even! Otherwise, the poison will spread through your entire arm, and by then we’ll have to amputate,” Chen Yu said.
