Chapter 46 Unscrupulous Merchants
A foul stench assaulted the air, making it almost unbearable for Chai Jianguo.

Even the other riders stepped back.

This was another fast food restaurant, but when Chai Jianguo looked into the kitchen, he was immediately stunned.

The ground looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages, covered in a layer of black mud, and the stench was coming from a box of seafood.

The seafood inside included squid, tilapia, and shrimp... but without exception, they were all dead, and it was unknown how long they had been dead. They were emitting a foul stench, and many flies were on them, making one's scalp crawl.

And that stench... it's a wonder the kitchen staff didn't have to wear masks.

He was picking his nose when he casually picked up a tilapia, without even washing or rinsing it. He coated it in flour and fried it in a pot of dark, obviously gutter oil.

The moment it hits the fryer, the aroma and the stench mingle together, creating an indescribable smell.

On the other side, a dog was eating chicken wings from a bowl on the ground, enjoying them immensely.

When the owner came in and saw this scene, he just smiled, kicked the dog, picked up the bowl of chicken wings, and placed it on the stall in front of him.

Chai Jianguo thought the chicken wings were unwanted, but it turned out they were meant to be put into fast food and sold.

Having received training from Sasha, Chai Jianguo couldn't hold back any longer.

I couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Boss, your chicken wings have been eaten by a dog, how can you still sell them?"

"And that seafood, it's been dead for who knows how many days. How can we sell it to customers? What if they get diarrhea, get sick, and end up in the hospital after eating it?"

The chubby boss laughed when he heard Chai Jianguo say that.

"What does it matter? Our Chinese people have stomachs of iron."

"A little dirt won't hurt you."

"Besides, this is takeout, not dine-in. As long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, how could the customer not know?"

“How can we deceive our customers? What if they get an upset stomach and end up in the hospital?” Chai Jianguo couldn’t understand his boss’s words.

Chai Jianguo heard from Sasha that the director had always gotten stomach aches from eating out.

“There are a lot of unscrupulous vendors nowadays who serve food that is not fresh and not hygienic at all. That’s why my sister got an upset stomach after eating it. Once she even had to go to the hospital and almost lost half her life. It’s lucky that my sister is an adult. If it were a child, the child probably would have died.” Sasha said angrily, clenching her little fists.

In Chai Jianguo's view, the director who helped him find a job and even found someone to repair his and Tiantian's graves was an extremely kind person.

He didn't know whether those customers were good or bad people.

But Chai Jianguo could not accept the boss's behavior.

Seeing Chai Jianguo's stubbornness, the fat shopkeeper looked at him for a while and seemed to understand something. He took out a few hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and was about to stuff them into Chai Jianguo's hand. "You just want money, right? Here, take this money and shut your mouth."

“I don’t want your money. You can’t do this. You can’t deceive consumers!” Chai Jianguo’s attitude was very firm and he seemed very stubborn.

The chubby boss was stunned for a moment, then became furious, "You're just a lowly delivery rider, what do I do have to do with you? My family doesn't need you to deliver our fast food anymore, get out of here."

The fat boss immediately kicked Chai Jianguo out, saying, "Get out of here now, or you'll make me angry."

"Also, don't say things carelessly. If you piss me off, you don't want to know what will happen."

He then glanced at the bamboo basket on Chai Jianguo's back, spat on the ground, and said, "Pah, nosy country bumpkin." Chai Tiantian poked her little head out, her small fists clenched, her eyes staring coldly at the fat boss.

The fat boss felt uneasy being stared at by Chai Tiantian's eyes, and even felt that the temperature around him had dropped significantly.

However, he still sounded fierce, "What are you looking at, little brat? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out."

Chai Tiantian tilted her head: Gouge out eyes? She knows how? Should I gouge them out for him now?

Just as Chai Tiantian was about to make a move, a large hand reached back and pressed her slightly protruding head back down.

"Sweetie, be good," Chai Jianguo said softly.

Chai Tiantian gave a soft hum, ultimately listening to her father and not making a move.

Chai Jianguo heard the fat boss cursing at Tian Tian.

It doesn't matter how much you scold this person, but he insulted Tian Tian and said such malicious things to her. If it were an ordinary child, they would probably be scared to tears.

Even if Tian Tian isn't an ordinary child, she's still only four years old.

Chai Jianguo didn't intend to let the fat boss go, but now that they were in the human world, they were ghosts, so they had to be careful.

Moreover, Chai Jianguo was more concerned about the fat boss's food being stale and unhygienic.

However, Chai Jianguo was comforted by the other riders who were with him.

The riders have a very good impression of Chai Jianguo. Sometimes when they can't deliver all the orders, they just call on Chai Jianguo, and he comes to help, and he does a very good job.

“Jianguo, we’re just delivery riders. These things aren’t our responsibility. We just need to deliver the food.”

"These situations aren't limited to Hao Jincai's shop; at least 70-80% of the shops have similar issues, but we just don't know it, and consumers are even less aware." Hao Jincai is the chubby boss from earlier.

"What? There are many other stores like this too?" Chai Jianguo exclaimed.

"Of course, there are many unscrupulous merchants nowadays. I once delivered a boneless chicken feet. Do you know where those chicken feet were soaked before they were even packaged? They were soaked in a bunch of chemical liquids. And the lady who was packing the chicken feet wasn't wearing gloves. She was even talking while packing, and her saliva was spraying all over the chicken feet. Some of them even picked at their feet while packing, and then continued packing."

"Exactly, and those restaurants that serve freshly cooked dishes don't have any of that. They all serve pre-made dishes that you just heat up."

"And that dumpling shop, the meat they use to make dumplings is all leftover meat from other people's pork shops, leftover meat from the previous day, minced meat... how would the customers know what it was originally like?"

“Those unscrupulous merchants don’t treat customers like human beings in order to make more money. They will sell whatever is cheapest. Forget about healthy and hygienic food. As long as no one dies, that’s all that matters.”

……

As the riders recounted their experiences, Chai Jianguo was stunned.

He hadn't paid much attention to the kitchens of those restaurants while delivering food, but he never expected it to be like this.

Chai Jianguo thought for a moment, what if a takeout order wasn't fresh or had a problem, and he sent it out?

If a customer has a problem after eating it and ends up in the hospital, wouldn't he also become an accomplice?!
