Making Trouble

Feeling that it was going wrong, Liu Weixin picked up his mushrooms and wanted to go out. "Since you don't want to buy, I'll go and find someone else to buy them. Such a good business and you are making trouble…"

Shopkeeper Qiu might be a little greedy, but he could sit at his position for years now and had some intelligence on his own. Seeing Liu Weixin's actions, a red light flashed in his mind and he was now almost sure that something was wrong with these mushrooms.

He quickly called for 2 other strong guys in his restaurant. "Hold him for me and don't let him leave, we'll wait for the chef…"

Liu Weixin quickly tried to run away but was held down by the 2 guys called over by Qiu Wuying. "What are you doing? Let me go right now, you want to keep me here while you steal away my fungus…"

Shopkeeper Qiu looked at him and scoffed. Just to pocket some mushrooms, would he make such a big issue? He's not so stupid to hit his own head for a few silver coins.

Liu Weixin continued to struggle and wanted to run away, but he couldn't get rid of these two guys holding him.

After a short while, the chef called over by Qiu Wuying came over. "Sorry for the delay Shopkeeper Qiu. I still had to cook some dishes for the customers…"

Qiu Wuying just waved his hand and said to him, "Look at the fungus in these sacks. Is everything okay with them, can we buy them?"

The chef felt that the atmosphere in the room was wrong, but he still was a little excited upon hearing that there were mushrooms for sale.

Even through most mushroom sellers already came to the city, they won't just sell their mushrooms to anyone wanting them. Common people wouldn't know what to do, while in the restaurant business you can't get them without enough connections.

Most mushrooms are sold to the prosperous restaurants with plenty of connections and lots of nobles as their customers. Even if smaller shops like theirs manage to get their hands on some mushrooms, usually they just eat the scraps of bigger restaurants…

Now hearing that there could be some new mushrooms to be bought, the chef could already think of what dishes he could make from them.

However, when he opened the sack and looked at the mushrooms, his face darkened and he frowned. Qiu Wuying noticed his change of mood and quickly asked, "What's wrong, old Zhao? Is something wrong with them?"

Chef Zhao frowned and said, "What kind of mushrooms are these? Let's not say that 9 out of 10 of these mushrooms are poisonous, even the ones that are edible don't look too good to me…"

Liu Weixin heard Chef Zhao and exploded with anger. "What do you mean they are poisonous? They're clearly fresh and good mushrooms, you're trying to frame me!"

"Fresh and good mushrooms? I haven't had such a good laugh in a long time. Let's not say that most of them are poisonous, even the ones that normally could be eaten, in your sack you've only got ones that are already getting mushy and won't be good either… Although they won't poison anyone, people could still have gastric issues after eating them…" Chef Zhao laughed a little while explaining.

Liu Weixin wanted to rebuke him again, but before he could open his mouth Shopkeeper Qiu already shouted towards him. "You bastard, coming to my shop and trying to sell poisonous mushrooms to us. You've even mixed good mushrooms with bad ones, just to earn a little money? You're so black hearted, are you trying to get us all killed?"

Liu Weixin's eyes flickered and he said, "Anyway, my mushrooms are good. Don't lie to me and try to bully me simply because I'm not a person from the city. I'm telling you, my son is a person going to Qingmei College. Even some of the officials know him, he will be the number one talent in the selection in the future. You dare to offend me and you won't have any good time in the future!"

"Who are you lying to, your son will be the champion? Then this father over here will be the future prince, what a joke. Quickly get out of my shop before I change my mind and take you to the Yamen..." Shopkeeper Qiu said with anger.

But how could Liu Weixin agree to that? His dream of getting rich overnight was still there, how could he just leave without any money?

He quickly picked up his sacks with mushrooms and ran outside the room to the lobby to make trouble. He sat down on the ground and shouted, "You are bullying me because I'm a villager and don't know anyone in the city. Trying to grab my mushrooms without paying me any money…"

The shopkeeper saw that some guests noticed the situation over here and was really angry. "You bastard, bringing us poisonous mushrooms and wanting money? Quickly get lost, don't make trouble!"

The 2 men brought earlier by Shopkeeper Qiu moved forward and tried to take Liu Weixin outside the restaurant.

Liu Weixin quickly grabbed a table and wouldn't let them move himself. "I'm not going anywhere, you bad guys, you thiefs. Quickly give me my money…"

Qiu Wuying tried to get him out of the restaurant but it wasn't working. Xiao Erhao saw the situation and couldn't help himself, "Shopkeeper Qiu, how about just paying him some money and getting rid of him? Just think of today as a bad day and spend some money to get rid of this disaster…"

Xiao Erhao also felt a little helpless. How could it be that from all the restaurants in the city, it was theirs that was hit by this shrew? He's been alive for over 20 years already and has never even seen anyone close to being as shameless as this guy…
