After Jiujiu received the time for Wang Shi and Wang Gui to take action, she gave Steamed Bun a plate of beef jerky that she made.
After receiving the beef jerky, Steamed Bun immediately returned to the system space happily while Jiujiu began to prepare to deal with the restless Wang Shi and Wang Gui.
Knowing that Wang Shi and Wang Gui were going to look for people to cause trouble at the restaurant, Jiujiu followed Li Shuan and Lian Shi to the restaurant early the next morning.
On the way there, Li Shuan kept emphasizing that he and Lian Shi would definitely be able to take care of the situation. He kept telling Jiujiu not to ask for money. However, no matter what Li Shuan said, he could not shake Jiujiu's desire to go to the restaurant.
Jiujiu believed that Li Shuan and Lian Shi would definitely be able to take care of the restaurant. However, she did not believe that the two of them would be able to deal with the people that Wang Gui and Wang Shi sent over. After all, Li Shuan was exceptionally honest, while Lian Shi was inexperienced and had been protected by her since the beginning. Therefore, Jiujiu did not expect the two of them to be able to take the appropriate measures.
Since Jiujiu was here, the seat that collected the money naturally became Jiujiu's. Li Shuan went straight to the kitchen to help Lian Shi.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon. After noon, the number of people who came to the restaurant naturally increased.
However, most of them were familiar faces. There were also a few constables who were dressed in plain clothes. Since Wang Yue often came to look for Jiujiu, the constables in the yamen were also very familiar with Jiujiu. When they saw Jiujiu, they immediately greeted her in a low voice.
Jiujiu also had a good impression of these seemingly rough but particularly honest constables. She even asked the waiter to send a few dishes to the table of the constables.
After Jiujiu dealt with the table of the constables, she saw a particularly unfamiliar face walk in.
However, since the restaurant was open to welcome customers, there were naturally many unfamiliar faces. However, what caught Jiujiu's attention was that this person's appearance was particularly wretched. As soon as he walked in, he immediately went to a relatively small corner. Regardless of whether it was his appearance or his body language, he was particularly eye-catching.
Because she noticed this person, Jiujiu paid special attention to the dishes that this person ordered. She even asked the waiter what the person ordered when he reported the dishes.
Although the waiter did not know why Jiujiu would pay attention to this person, he still honestly told her all the dishes that the person ordered.
Not only did that person ordered a bowl of ming noodles, but he also ordered also ordered all the side dishes that needed to be processed in the restaurant.
Jiujiu's restaurant was a commoner's restaurant. Whether it was the noodles or the other dishes, they were all very big. Even a strong man would be eighty percent full after eating a bowl of noodles. If he were to order another side dish, he would definitely be stuffed.
And that person, regardless of his height or body size, didn't look like a person with a big appetite. However, he ordered a table full of people. No matter how you looked at it, it was strange.
After Jiujiu asked the waiter to go to the kitchen to report the dishes, she began to think about who to find to keep an eye on that man. At this moment, Wang Yue came.
Today, the yamen had some matters to deal with, so Wang Yue was delayed a little. After coming out of the yamen, Wang Yue went directly to Jiujiu. However, when she arrived at Jiujiu's door, she found that Jiujiu's door was locked. Wang Yue thought about it and went directly to the restaurant. As expected, Jiujiu was in the restaurant.
Seeing Wang Yue come in, Jiujiu immediately put the matter of that man to the back of her mind. She looked at Wang Yue and asked, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
"I've eaten before I came."
Hearing Wang Yue say that he had eaten, Jiujiu didn't continue to greet him. She picked up the teapot and poured a cup of water for Wang Yue and asked, "Come in and have a seat?"
Wang Yue shook his head, "I have something to do later. I'll stand for a while."
In the past, Wang Yue would stick to her for a while. Today, he didn't come in when she asked him to. It could be seen that he really had something to do. Jiujiu didn't insist and said these words to Wang Yue.
Jiujiu's voice was delicate and soft. When she spoke in a low voice, her voice was as sweet as candy. Wang Yue couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart.
After Jiujiu and Wang Yue talked for a while, the waiter served the wretched man's minced meat noodles.
Logically speaking, since the man ordered so many dishes, it was obvious that he was starving. However, when the minced meat noodles were served, he didn't rush to eat. Instead, he sat there and continued to wait for the other dishes to be served. When all the dishes were served, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and stirred them all before starting to eat.
The man's back was facing everyone in the restaurant, but Jiujiu was looking at him sideways. From Jiujiu's angle, she saw the man take out a paper bag and sprinkle medicinal powder on each dish. After stirring them, he started to eat.
After seeing the man drug himself, Jiujiu sighed in her heart. She couldn't bear to lose the child to trap the wolf. She looked up at Wang Yue and said, "Do me a favor."
"Say it." It was a very simple word, but it made people feel very safe.
However, before Jiujiu could speak, she saw the man who drugged himself suddenly fall off the table. Then, with a happy expression, he rolled on the ground and didn't forget to spit out four words, "There's poison in the food."
Jiujiu: "…"
As soon as this person finished speaking, the restaurant, which was still bustling with noise, instantly quieted down. The movements of the people who were eating also froze. They subconsciously looked at that person and then looked at the dishes in front of them.
Jiujiu didn't need to think to know what those people were thinking. If the man said there was poison in the food, then was there poison in their food too?
Jiujiu walked toward the vulgar man and said, "Sir, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. We are open for business, so how can we poison you? Besides, there are so many people here who are fine after eating for so long. It's not worth it for something to happen to you after eating just one bite."
When Jiujiu said this, the people who were still in a daze finally calmed down.
This man had only eaten one bite and already made a fuss. If there was really poison, the first to die would definitely be them who had eaten for so long.
However, although they were clear in their hearts, they couldn't eat the food anymore.
Other than a few people who were thick-skinned, most people directly paid the bill and left.
However, the few constables who came just now stayed.
Jiujiu smiled embarrassedly at those constables and quickly walked in front of the vulgar man. She signaled the waiter to help the vulgar man up and said with a smile, "Sir, how about I get someone to bring you to see a doctor?"
Jiujiu wanted to see the vulgar man's illness.
However, when Jiujiu said that she wanted to see a doctor, the vulgar man didn't appreciate it. When the vulgar man heard that Jiujiu wanted to see a doctor, he immediately broke free from the waiter's arm and rolled on the ground while shouting, "My stomach hurts. You poisoned the food. I'm not going to see a doctor."
