It was previously known that there was a problem with their vegetables, but they claimed that their vegetables were pesticide-free, so how could they get food poisoning? He didn't believe it.
"Let's get professionals to verify it." He then resumed his usual stern demeanor.
Upon hearing Liu Yifeng's words, Lu Fei instantly felt that this was the person he knew.
Soon, a professional appraisal team arrived at the vegetable shed and verified all the vegetables in the entire shed.
"How is it?" Liu Yifeng had been following them closely, as this matter was of great importance to him, and more importantly, he needed to know if there was a problem with his company's vegetables.
Although there had been similar issues before, luckily this time it was he himself who ate them, so it didn't cause any public outcry. This time, he was determined to investigate thoroughly.
"Mr. Liu, as per your request, we have inspected the vegetables in each shed. We have verified both same and different varieties, and we are one hundred percent certain there are no problems."
After a morning of work, the expert team finally found the answer, and Liu Yifeng's heart was finally put at ease.
"Are you sure?" Lu Fei also heard what the experts said and was finally relieved.
Fortunately, it wasn't a problem with their company's vegetables, so he could confidently proceed to investigate the matter.
"Of course, our professional agency's appraisals are never wrong. We will provide you with a professional appraisal report later, both in electronic and hard copy, which will be very professional. You can rest assured about this."
The appraisers felt that they might not be fully believed, so they further explained the authenticity and validity of their professional agency's appraisals.
"Okay, thank you so much." Liu Yifeng finally received some good news recently.
After Lu Fei sent off the experts, he rushed to Liu Yifeng's office. "That day, besides eating lettuce, we then ate barbecue. Now that it's confirmed our vegetables are fine, could it be the barbecue?"
He carefully recalled everything they ate that day. Apart from some normal seasonings, there were only some vegetables and barbecue.
"That's right. Plus, Tongtong ate a lot of barbecue that day, which is why his poisoning symptoms were the most severe. Looking at it this way, it's fifty percent certain that the barbecue is the problem."
Liu Yifeng finally understood why Tongtong had been so severely ill. He had initially thought it was because children had weaker resistance, but it turned out to be because he had mistakenly consumed too much tainted meat, which led to his severe condition.
"Exactly. My girlfriend didn't eat many pieces because it was free, so her symptoms were also mild. I was greedy and suffered a lot. I never expected it to be the barbecue. Where did you order those barbecued meats from?"
Lu Fei suddenly understood. It seemed the barbecue was definitely implicated.
"It was from a farmers' market in City C. We had ordered the barbecue in advance for the housewarming party. It was a butcher shop with very high reviews."
Liu Yifeng really didn't expect such a butcher shop to engage in such business. It truly shattered his worldview.
Indeed, a single butcher shop's actions had affected the reputation of the entire market.
"What do we do next? Such a butcher shop cannot be allowed to continue operating. However, I'm curious, did only we get diarrhea and poisoning? Why hasn't anyone reported them?"
Lu Fei's curiosity made them fall into deep thought. This was indeed a question that needed to be considered.
"Here's what we'll do: I'll go there specially tomorrow. The company matters are still proceeding as usual." Liu Yifeng believed that to know the truth, one had to get unconditionally close to it.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Liu Yifeng drove to the shop where he had ordered the barbecue. He saw quite a few people buying meat at the entrance of the butcher shop.
He was indeed very curious. Was it targeting him specifically?
He joined the crowd and bought some. Then, he followed an aunt who had just finished buying meat. "Auntie, Auntie, don't be in such a hurry. I see that piece of meat in your hand looks good. I wonder if you could sell it to me? My family is large, and I bought too little. There are no more left if I go back to buy."
"You want this piece of meat?" The aunt sized up Liu Yifeng. He didn't look like someone who bought groceries to cook at home.
"Yes, I want the piece in your hand." Liu Yifeng pretended to be oblivious.
"I can sell you the meat you want, but how much are you willing to pay? Don't underestimate this small amount; someone will buy it for twice the price."
The aunt proudly raised the piece of pork in her hand, looking very smug.
"What do you mean, Auntie? I don't quite understand." Liu Yifeng scratched his head, feigning ignorance.
The aunt sneered, "Young man, it seems you're new here and don't understand the local market. Why don't you give me your meat, and I'll sell it for you? You can give me a small portion of the proceeds."
Seemingly thinking the young man in front of her wasn't very smart, she whispered in his ear.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll do whatever you say."
Hearing what the aunt said, Liu Yifeng deliberately feigned pleasant surprise and handed over the pork he was holding.
The aunt, excited, took Liu Yifeng directly to the back of an alley. If he wasn't mistaken, this should be the man who had just sold the meat.
"Hey, Auntie, isn't that the same butcher who sold the pork just now?" he asked the aunt with feigned curiosity.
The aunt immediately made a shushing gesture. "That's right. To tell you the truth, it's to make his shop busier and get more good reviews, which will make it easier to deal with old meat later."
Now Liu Yifeng finally understood why the meat bought on-site had no problems, but the meat bought online did. It seemed like a deception.
"But if they sell bad meat, wouldn't that affect their business with bad reviews?" Liu Yifeng was still curious. It couldn't be that only they had bad luck; there must be other innocent victims.
"Those are small matters. A little money can solve it, and they even get good reviews." The aunt seemed to be a regular customer here.
It was not difficult to see that those who supported the business here were mostly of the aunt's age. They were idle at home. After sending their grandchildren to school, they came to earn some extra cash, and they were quite happy about it.
"So that's how it is. They really know how to do business." Liu Yifeng couldn't help but sigh. This was truly from the heart. He also sincerely admired the boldness of such people.
It was fine if they encountered easygoing people, but encountering him was their bad luck. Perhaps even heaven couldn't stand it and wanted him to punish evil and promote good.
