Liu Guang felt as if his heart had been struck by her words, and his inner unease grew stronger. "I believe the chefs under my command would never do such heartless things!"
Qingyan found it amusing. "Now isn't the time to shift the blame onto the chefs, is it? Even if the chefs did such a thing, they would be acting on your instructions."
Otherwise, who would dare to shoulder such a huge responsibility?
"Does Qingyan have any evidence?" Liu Guang gritted his teeth. "If not, I can sue you for defamation!"
"Who sues whom remains to be seen, Mr. Liu. Don't speak too soon, or I won't lend you a hand when there's no way out."
"You..."
"At lunchtime, the diced beef with peas, the beef wasn't really beef, was it?" Qingyan raised her gaze, looking at him with unwavering confidence.
The expression on Liu Guang's face was starting to show signs of strain. "What do you mean?"
"I just checked. You used diseased chickens as a substitute for beef."
"Huh, Qingyan, you always say whatever comes to your mind. Such absurd claims require evidence!"
"Go and bring the trash can from the kitchen," Qingyan instructed her assistant beside her.
Hening hurriedly complied.
A large trash can was placed in front of everyone, and Qingyan kicked it, causing the garbage inside to spill at the feet of Hu Linquan and Liu Guang.
Hu Linquan and Liu Guang hastily stepped back a few steps.
In addition to some kitchen waste, there were chicken heads, chicken feet, chicken buttocks, and so on.
"We didn't eat chicken at lunchtime, but the trash can has all these..." Qingyan's tone was indifferent. "After a normal chicken is slaughtered, its eyes are open, while only a diseased chicken's eyes are closed."
The people around immediately examined the chicken heads on the ground and indeed, all of their eyes were shut!
"Everyone must have been to the market. When slaughtering chickens, they need to bleed them, but dead chickens cannot bleed in time. As a result, the meat becomes reddish, and the chicken skin of a diseased chicken appears unhealthy with a dull gray color, dry and lacking elasticity, indicating an abnormal death."
The employees nearby felt their stomachs churning, almost wanting to throw up. They never expected that they had eaten diseased chicken at lunchtime instead of fresh beef!
All they wanted to do now was vomit!
Liu Guang never expected that this young girl could observe such details. Normally, girls her age would find it fascinating just to witness chicken being slaughtered in the market.
"Fine, let's say we take a step back. Even if the chefs did accidentally buy diseased chicken, it's not their responsibility. They were deceived by the chicken vendor in the market. Besides, you say diseased chicken can be made into beef? Why don't you make one for me to see!"
Seeing Liu Guang's refusal to acknowledge the situation, Qingyan found it amusing.
"Why is it so difficult?" Qingyan said calmly, "Just cut these low-quality chicken into strips, add some beef essence oil and barbecue essence oil, adjust the color with caramel coloring if needed, heat the wok, add oil, stir-fry, add various seasonings, and it immediately turns into beef."
Liu Guang's face froze. He didn't expect her to be so clear about the process, and she didn't say a word wrong.
"And the evidence is that all the food additives I mentioned can be found in your kitchen!"
Upon hearing Qingyan's resolute words, the employees nearby couldn't describe their feelings at the moment as anything but shock.
One of the employees patted his chest in relief, "Thank goodness, I didn't eat those two dishes for lunch."
They narrowly escaped!
Qingyan's gaze fell on him, finding it amusing. "Do you think only those two dishes have a problem?"
"Ms. Qing, what do you mean by that?" The employee didn't understand, and felt a bit scared.
Qingyan exuded confidence, "Out of the thirteen dishes prepared in the cafeteria for lunch, not a single one was made with fresh ingredients!"
Everyone's eyes widened upon hearing this.
Could it be true??
None of the thirteen dishes were fresh??
That's terrifying!
"Ms. Qing, what about the sausages? They couldn't possibly be fake, right? Are they made from inferior meat?" Some employees began to worry.
Qingyan remained calm, "Do you guys know about starch sausages? Various powders are added, along with food additives and barbecue flavoring oil. Finally, some carrageenan is added. Mix it all in a food processor, squeeze out the shape, and when it's cooked, it becomes a sausage."
"Ugh..." Some employees rushed outside to vomit in the flowerbeds.
"The evidence is that the food processor hasn't been cleaned yet. There's still some minced meat on the inner wall, which can be sent for testing."
They were initially worried about whether the sausages were made from inferior meat, but it turns out there wasn't even any meat at all! It was just a combination of seasonings!
"And as for the fish soup you had for lunch, didn't you notice that the color was off?" Qingyan's gaze swept across the crowd as she spoke, each word deliberate. "Normal fish soup shouldn't be this white unless you add three spoons of evaporated milk. Then you can make any kind of delicious and creamy fish soup."
More people ran outside to vomit. They couldn't believe that the cafeteria would do such unethical things.
"I saw concentrated lamb broth in the kitchen, do you know what it is? Just a spoonful of it, even plain water tastes like lamb bone soup."
Another employee breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. I didn't have much appetite for lunch, so I just added a little sesame sauce to my rice... I didn't eat anything else."
"The sesame sauce you ate was also made from sesame flavoring."
The employee went to vomit again.
"What a big joke!" Liu Guang sneered with his hands behind his back. "Even if you can gather all these things, you have no evidence to prove that the chefs used them to mix into the lunch."
Hu Linquan was also displeased and joined in, "Qing, you can eat your meal haphazardly, but you can't speak recklessly!"
Liu Guang, resembling an angered tiger, retorted, "Originally, considering our family ties, I wanted to settle this peacefully. But Qing insists on putting such a heavy accusation on me. Now everyone has misunderstood our canteen. I will report this to the police!"
"Fine." Qing Yan wasn't intimidated; instead, she responded, "Mr. Liu, since you're older, if you can't handle the phone, I can have He Ning help you."
Liu Guang didn't expect this little girl to be quite difficult to deal with and sneered, "Qing, think it over carefully. If I report this, you won't be able to keep your position either!"
"Are you going to report it or not?" Qing Yan didn't have time to waste with him. "If you don't, let me do it."
"A-Guang, Qing Yan is young and hot-tempered, she's a bit fiery. Give me some face." Hu Linquan began acting as a mediator. "Go get the morning's shopping list and show it to Qing Yan, proving that all the ingredients are fresh."
"No need." Unexpectedly, Qing Yan didn't buy into it and straightforwardly said, "I heard that the small supermarket where you purchase fresh ingredients is also owned by relatives."
Hu Linquan immediately became displeased. "Are you suggesting that our relatives are colluding with each other?"
"You were the one who said that."
"You..."
Qing Yan glanced at He Ning, and he immediately took out his phone, ready to dial 110 (emergency number).
