I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

So everyone rushed towards Mu Long's direction! What was once a large crowd in front of Zhu Zhu was now deserted, because no one believed there was a potion in the world that could heal people's scars so quickly.

Boss, is there something you want to tell us by banging this gong? We all know that when the head of Longsheng Street has something to tell us, he will bang the gong next to him very hard.

Meow! Meow! Meow!

Little Furong, who had been sleeping hidden inside Mu Long's clothes, was instantly awakened by the sound of a gong. She kept patting Mu Long's face with her two chubby little hands.

Hey! Look! How come there's a furry little paw sticking out of that man's clothes?

Haha! I bet you haven't been out and about in a long time, brother! Haven't you heard anyone mention that the owner of Longsheng Street has a rather peculiar hobby lately?

What is it? Lately, I've been sitting at home busy sorting tobacco leaves and haven't had time to go out. Plus, the hot weather has made me even more reluctant to stay home and move around.

Seeing that he was surrounded by people, Mu Long put the gong and the small wooden stick he used to strike the gong on the table.

Welcome to our Shenglong Hotel! We appreciate you taking some time out of your busy schedules to visit us. To express our gratitude, we have prepared a special meal for you.

Please accept this with a smile!

After saying this, Mu Long used chopsticks to pick up two eggplant boxes from the bowl. Then he wrapped the two eggplant boxes with a piece of oil paper.

Just as Mu Long was about to hand the box of eggplants in his hand to the person standing in front of him, a voice rang out from the crowd.

How could you be so kind as to give us something so fragrant for no reason? Was this made with something unclean?

Yes, yes, yes! You have a point! Their boss must be afraid that these things containing unclean substances won't sell, so he gave them to us for free.

The owner of Shenglong Hotel is truly heartless! He dares to sell such toxic food to ordinary people like us!

Haha! Do you think this benefits our Shenglong Hotel? And after you know about this, will you still come to eat at my Shenglong Hotel next time?

An elderly man standing in front of Mu Long waved his hands vigorously at Mu Long after hearing the questions Mu Long asked.

No, no, no! After we find out about this, we will definitely never eat at your hotel again. Not only that, we will also spread the word! We will let more people know about this.

Haha! If we do this for too long, no one will want to eat at our Shenglong Grand Restaurant! Don't you think we're ruining our own reputation by doing this?

Yes! How come we didn't think of this? Perhaps the world has made us more sensitive and suspicious?

Haha! Perhaps deep down you don't believe there's a shop like Shenglong Liquor that wholeheartedly cares about ordinary people like you!

After saying this, Mu Long put the fried eggplant boxes back into the bowl. He was about to wave to Uncle Fu, who was standing next to him, to ask him to take the bowl of fried eggplant boxes back to the kitchen.

Just then, a little boy appeared out of nowhere and, without saying a word, reached his little hand into the basket full of eggplant boxes. The boy's grandfather, seeing this, knew his beloved grandson was tempted again.

She quickly ran to the little boy's side and slapped his hand hard.

He asked anxiously, "Do you even know what this is? You dare to eat it? Aren't you afraid these unscrupulous owners might put rat poison or other toxic substances in it?"

Waaaaah! Waaaaah!

Grandpa, why won't you let me eat that delicious thing? You know what? It's the best thing I've ever eaten in my life. There's absolutely no rat poison in it, as you said!

Haha! You idiot, didn't you see that before we put out the rat poison, we stir-fried the food meant to lure the rats until it smelled delicious?

Grandpa, why are you so sure they put rat poison in this delicious food? Did you see their boss put rat poison in this delicious food?

Mu Long was getting quite annoyed by the old man's insistence that he had put rat poison in the fried eggplant box. He turned to look at the little kitten in his arms. Yes! Even kittens can be good or bad. How much more so ordinary people?

Sometimes I'm too fixated on the idea that I should never do anything to harm ordinary people, and that everything should be done with the interests of ordinary people in mind.

I used to naively believe that all ordinary people were people who didn't need my protection, just like my great-grandfather. The idea behind establishing Heirentang is the same.

Meow meow meow!

After calling out to its master a few times, Little Hibiscus jumped out from his clothes!

Oh dear, this person is so unhygienic, holding a cat in their arms. It just goes to show that what they make isn't clean either. Everyone, don't be tempted by this cheap offer. Go home quickly!

Yes! Yes! I had that idea all along, I just wanted to see what delicious food he would give us.

What should I do with the food my greedy grandson feeds us now?

Mu Long was speechless upon hearing this and shook his head. Then, as if remembering something, he reached into the basin, took out a fritter of eggplant, and popped it into his mouth to chew.

Upon seeing this scene, all the negative comments ceased abruptly! Even the grandfather who had been saying there was rat poison in the eggplant box became very curious.

The old man also took a fried eggplant from the box, put it in his mouth, and chewed it. He thought the box was incredibly delicious.

But when the old man wanted to have a second bite, Mu Long stopped him.

Hehe, boss, why won't you let people eat it again? Didn't you specially bring it for us ordinary folks to try?

Haha, didn't you just say this was poisonous? Why were you eating it with such relish before?

It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding. The owner of the Zhilong Hotel is truly a saint! Whenever he has something good, he thinks of us ordinary people first. This is our blessing!

Upon hearing that the food was not poisonous, the people gathered around Mu Long.
