Chapter 86: Verifying Test Reports

Chapter 86: Verifying the Test Report

After tasting the Immortal Brew Honey Water, they first exchanged glances, seeing surprise mirrored in each other's eyes.

Zhu Wenfu sighed softly and said, "This taste is worth the price."

Pan Juan, her expression cold and her fingers interlaced, had a different opinion. "The taste is good, but where things generally sell for ten to twenty yuan, I still think 200 yuan is too much."

Cheng Huibai picked up the report and waved it in front of them. "Based on this report, 200 yuan is a bargain."

"And look at the drink's packaging; it claims to beautify, nourish, and hydrate the body."

Pan Juan said, "Doesn't all honey have those effects? I think the honey flavor here isn't that strong, but other aromas are more pronounced." The other aromas she referred to were the unique scent of the Immortal Brew Honey.

"We still need to verify the report."

In addition to verifying the original report, they also needed to take samples of each food item from the stall for testing at a different lab. Jiang Yingxue also provided small samples of the new Spirit Flower Wine for them to take along for testing.

J City had two major food inspection institutions: Guanhua Food Inspection Agency and Shengfeng Food Inspection Agency. Jiang Yingxue's previous tests were done at Guanhua, so today they would take the samples to Shengfeng for testing.

Less than ten minutes after they left, Cheng Huibai returned, but this time she was wearing casual clothes.

Her younger brother, Cheng Yubai, was a senior at Yaori International High School in J City. Cheng Huibai had already asked Cheng Yubai about the Xuehe stall the day before.

Cheng Yubai hadn't tried the food himself, but he had asked in his class group chat. Classmates who had tried it gave very high praise, and he showed the chat records to his sister.

During the investigation at the stall, Cheng Huibai had already been craving the roast chicken from its smell, and the taste of the Immortal Brew Honey Water served to guests was also a pleasant surprise. However, because she was in uniform, it wasn't proper to make a purchase before the investigation was concluded, as it could look bad if someone posted it online. So, she went to her car, changed into casual clothes, and came back.

Jiang Yingxue recognized Cheng Huibai and smiled. "What can I get for you, miss?"

Cheng Huibai said, "Ms. Jiang, which items sell the best here?"

Jiang Yingxue replied, "The best sellers are definitely the rice balls and barbecue items. The juices are also popular." After all, the items she mentioned were among the lower-priced ones on the stall.

Cheng Huibai asked, "Then what do you recommend?"

Jiang Yingxue pointed to the Nutritional Boxed Meal. "I'd recommend this, it's also a stall specialty." The meat inside was genuine low-level monster beast meat—it was Spirit Food.

"Then I'll take one Nutritional Boxed Meal, one roast chicken, and one cup of Immortal Brew Honey Water."

"Would you like to sign up for a membership card?"

"Maybe later."

After spending 2700 yuan, Cheng Huibai left with her bag of food.

Cheng Huibai and the others split up into two teams. Cheng Huibai and Zhu Wenfu took the samples to the Shengfeng Food Inspection Agency for testing; while Pan Juan and Mo Yongjun took the report provided by Jiang Yingxue to the Guanhua Food Inspection Agency for verification.

Mo Yongjun asked the receptionist at the Guanhua Food Inspection Agency, "Hello, we're looking for Director Tao Penghai."

The receptionist said, "I'm sorry, Director Tao is not here. Is there something I can help you with?"

Pan Juan said, "Is there a manager or supervisor available? We need to see them urgently."

The receptionist made a phone call and finally escorted them to the guest reception room. "Please follow me."

After getting the gist of the situation, the institution's leader called Tao Penghai. Over the phone, Tao Penghai confirmed the authenticity of the inspection report and mentioned that relevant documents were stored in his office for them to verify.

Yu Yuande had applied to J City University for a research project on Xiaohe Mountain and brought a team of students up the mountain. Tao Penghai, as Yu Yuande's assistant, also went along.

On Xiaohe Mountain, Tao Penghai immediately called Jiang Yingxue, concerned, after hearing what happened. "Ms. Jiang, what happened? Law enforcement officials brought the test reports for your stall's food to our company."

"It's nothing, just someone reported the prices as too high, so they're verifying. It's fine, thank you for your concern. I'm quite busy here during the after-school rush, so I won't talk much longer."

Meanwhile, at the Xuehe stall.

Sun Chengxin took the blue membership card out of his wallet. Today, he had added 300,000 yuan to the card.

Yesterday, when he brought a bag of food from the Xuehe stall home, his father, who had just returned from work, scolded him, "Not eating proper meals, always eating junk food!"

Sun Chengxin lifted the bag containing the boxed meal. "Dad, this is a Nutritional Boxed Meal. I guarantee you'll like it."

Sun's father didn't respond. At the dinner table, smelling the opened Nutritional Boxed Meal, he remained stubborn until after tasting it. Then, he silently transferred 500,000 yuan to his son, telling him to bring more food tomorrow.

Back to the present.

"Boss, I'd like 4 Nutritional Boxed Meals, 2 shrimp-flavored rice balls, 2 fish ball-flavored rice balls, 2 roast chickens, and 4 large cups of juice, all to go."

"Okay, please wait a moment... That will be 9600 yuan. Your balance is 327,700 yuan."

"Boss, how many points do I have?"

"You can check on the machine next to me. Just place your membership card in the card slot."

To make it convenient for customers to check their consumption records and points, Jiang Yingxue specially used another Interest-Storing Stone to create a machine that could display membership details. Simply placing the membership card in the corresponding slot would show the information on the machine's screen.

The next customer was a new face.

You Tianlei worked in a nearby office building. After watching the online video yesterday, he was furious, feeling that the Xuehe stall was simply tarnishing J City's reputation. So today, filled with a sense of justice to crack down on the unscrupulous stall, he came to see for himself.

He arrived just as school was letting out, though he was a bit earlier. There was only one person in line ahead of him, but there were quite a few people behind him.

You Tianlei was filled with disdain, a cold sneer hanging on his lips. Upon hearing the high school student in front of him top up 300,000 yuan, his smile froze.

What was wrong with the world? Knowing it was a scam, how could someone still jump in? Was that middle school student an idiot?

And 2000 yuan for a boxed meal! That high school student ordered four at once, spending over nine thousand yuan in total. Were students at elite schools all so rich? This was insane!

"Sir, what would you like to eat?"

The boss's inquiry brought him back to reality. He said, "Give me half a roast chicken."

After paying, You Tianlei took his roast chicken to a table behind the stall. Watching the students in front of the stall and listening to their enthusiastic orders, his expression was numb, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
