Chapter 89 Looking for Trouble
The long-time neighbors in the community not only didn't mind, but also praised it.
"You're doing great, kid! Look how neatly you packed it!"
"This child is honest, that's good."
"Oh, right, take your time packing, it's okay, we're not in a hurry."
"What a wonderful child! He can even help your mother with her work now. Look at him."
Hao Hao understands kind words, and his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, making him even more motivated.
While making steamed buns and frying dough sticks, Chen Yuan discreetly observed the flow of customers today.
His keen observation.
The composition of our customer base has undergone subtle changes today.
There are far fewer office workers in their twenties and thirties who used to rush around in business attire.
Instead, there were more residents of the community, elderly people, and many students in school uniforms.
Especially among the students, there are many unfamiliar faces.
Judging from the direction they came from, they must have come from another neighborhood on purpose.
It seems that the chaos yesterday morning did deter some commuters who were in a hurry.
However, this lost group has been replenished by students and the elderly.
Chen Yuan thought to himself, "It doesn't matter, as long as the total number of customers remains the same. It's their freedom to choose where they want to eat, but queuing here is indeed a waste of time."
I'm busy right now.
A woman dressed in a sophisticated business suit and with impeccable makeup walked to the front of the line.
She was in her early thirties, carrying a designer handbag, her brows slightly furrowed, seemingly dissatisfied with the crowdedness and environment.
However, the air was filled with a mixture of various fragrances.
It's just too tempting.
Therefore, women are able to suppress their critical thinking and stand in the line.
After a long wait.
It was finally her turn.
"Boss, two steamed pork buns and a cup of beauty soy milk, hurry up."
The woman spoke coldly, her eyes scanning her surroundings.
Finally, their gaze fell on Hao Hao, who was packing.
Hao Hao had just finished wrapping a batch of steamed buns. Seeing someone wanted some, he quickly handed them over with both hands, a fawning smile on his face, his mouth crooked, as he spoke with great effort.
"Here...for you..."
The woman looked disgusted and looked down, only to see that Hao Hao's fingers had some flour stuck to them at some point.
I accidentally left a faint white mark on the bag when I was packing it.
"what!"
The woman screamed as if she had been burned by something and recoiled backward.
"Are your hands even clean? How am I supposed to eat my bun with your hands on it?"
The woman's shrill voice instantly drew everyone's attention.
"This is covered in dust. Do you know how dirty this bag is? How can you feed people something like this? It's so unhygienic, how disgusting!"
Hao Hao was so frightened that he trembled, his hand froze in mid-air, and his eyes were filled with panic and innocence.
"I'm...I'm so...sorry..."
When Aunt Li saw her son being yelled at, she rushed over, grabbed Hao Hao, and bowed repeatedly to the woman.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, this child is clumsy. I'll get you a new one, right away."
"Change it? How do I change it?"
When the woman saw the new bag that Aunt Li handed her, she not only refused to take it, but also squeezed the plastic bag containing the steamed buns in her hand. She then threw it directly into the nearby trash can with obvious disgust.
She looked up, her face full of disgust and contempt.
He looked Hao Hao up and down, then glanced at the rustic Aunt Li, and finally fixed his gaze on Chen Yuan.
"Boss, no offense, but with such a large business, can't you at least pay a little attention to hygiene?"
"It's one thing if this person has intellectual disabilities, but why didn't he wash his hands before packing food for someone? How could you let him handle food? What if he has an infectious disease? How are you going to take responsibility for the safety and health of all of us?"
These words are both sarcastic and harsh.
The elderly people around immediately erupted in uproar upon hearing this.
"How dare you talk like that, young lady?" Old Liu slammed the birdcage on the table and was the first to speak.
"Exactly, if someone offers to pack it up for you, and you don't want it, then don't. Is it really necessary to say such hurtful things?"
"Exactly, is it really necessary?"
"Can't you speak properly? That girl is quite pretty, how come she speaks so harshly?!"
Chen Yuan put down the steamed bun in his hand and said to the woman.
"Madam, first of all, all our employees have health certificates. Although he is a little slow to react, he is absolutely healthy and has no infectious diseases."
"Secondly, the bag for the steamed buns did have some flour on it, and I've already replaced it with a new one."
Because she sells soy milk, Aunt Li had already obtained a health certificate with the help of the neighborhood committee.
The staff were so thoughtful that they also got one for Hao Hao, so he could help Aunt Li with the chores.
Chen Yuan initially thought it would save him trouble, but he never expected it would come in handy here.
As he spoke, Chen Yuan picked up a new bag and handed it over.
He wanted to avoid trouble and wanted the matter to pass quickly so as not to affect other customers buying breakfast, so he wanted to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
To everyone's surprise, the woman didn't answer; instead, she gave a cold laugh.
"Health certificates? Who knows if you've made fake ones? Besides, what can you do even if you're not sick?"
"You can tell something's wrong with his eyes. Just standing there is ruining my appetite. How am I supposed to eat?"
"I paid to enjoy the service, not to see people like this."
"If I really wanted to see it, why wouldn't I spend some money to go to the zoo instead of coming here?"
That's extremely harsh.
Almost no empathetic person would say such a thing.
Chen Yuan frowned, about to lash out, when he heard the other party still persisting, pointing a finger with nail polish at Hao Hao's nose.
"Can't you keep him away from me? Otherwise, I dare not eat these buns. What if I get sick from them? Can your shabby shop afford to compensate me?"
These words pierced Aunt Li's heart like a knife.
Aunt Li's face turned deathly pale instantly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Over the years, she has raised Hao Hao and has seen her share of disdain and experienced the coldness and warmth of human relationships.
But the woman's words still upset her.
Aunt Li's guilt and sadness towards Hao Hao had almost reached their peak.
Chen Yuan looked at the woman's face, which was distorted by arrogance, and took a deep breath.
There is no other way to deal with this kind of person.
The more you explain, the more the other person will think you're guilty.
After taking them back, Chen Yuan placed the two steamed buns on the table.
"This lady."
"If you feel that our hygiene standards do not meet your requirements, you can go to another restaurant that you find clean."
"But before that, I want you to respect my employees."
"Please apologize to my employee as well; you can't insult him like that!"
