Qiu Hong didn't have time to catch her breath and quickly explained the reason. It turned out that there was a problem with the rice ordered by the Drunken Life Tavern. After the originally healthy grains were transported back, they turned into rotten rice with moths growing on them.

Hua Manlou's reputation had always been good, and the brand name he had was quality assurance. If this happened, the manager of the Drunken Life Tower would be furious and bring people to cause trouble in the store.

"Manager Li has gone to receive you. I can see that something is wrong, so I've come to look for you."

"Alright, I understand. I will go now."

How could rice suddenly become so bad that it could not be eaten? There must be someone among them who was up to mischief.

Su Zhi did not have time to think about it. She hurriedly opened the closed corridor on the third floor and went downstairs as fast as she could.

The hall was already in an uproar. Manager Tao of the Drunken Life Tower, along with a few malevolent looking robust men, shouted loudly and cursed harshly.

After his fight, many of the guests didn't have time to buy anything and turned to flee.

"Shopkeeper Tao came with great respect, and was unwelcome. I hope that you can be magnanimous and not hold any grudges against me."

Tao Lingzhong became even angrier when he saw Su Zhi's smiling face. "Humph, I thought it was not easy for a woman like you to do business and understand their difficulties, but how do you know that you are a villain who doesn't keep his word! Pui! Ignorant woman, do not talk about friendship! "

This scolding had already caused Qiu Hong and Li Yi's faces to change, but Su Zhi still wore a smile on her face. "We need to investigate everything thoroughly. If it really is our fault, we will compensate you double."

"Compensation? Are you worthy? Although my Drunken Life Tower business is not the best in Xuancheng, it is still well-known. "I've painstakingly built this place for so many years, yet today, it has all been ruined by you!"

"Qiu Hong, immediately contact the people at the warehouse and send Ten Dans of Good Yang City's rice to the Drunken Life Tower. "You must remember, this is the crystal white rice specially made in Yang City. This kind of rice is the one that Shopkeeper Tao has been ordering all this time."

"No need, I can't use your things, so let's skip the cooperation later. I'd rather spend a few more dollars to buy it from the shop north of Silver Coin than sell you rice with moldy worms!"

Su Zhi smiled apologetically and said, "Manager Tao, you have always been our flowery customer. Now that something has happened, we should go through it together. Please do not misunderstand, this rice is not compensation for you, we spend the entire credibility of you know. We'll make our plans when the matter is investigated. If it really is our fault, then we can do whatever you want to apologize. "

Only then did Tao Zhengzhong shut his mouth and stop cursing, but his attitude was still not good.

"A new batch of good quality Longjing [1] [2] [2] has come to our shop. Please take a seat on the second floor first, Master Tao. Give us something to find out which part of the problem is there."

"There's no need. With such a big slip up, there's someone in my shop to take care of it. You guys should find out what happened as soon as possible so that you can explain it to me!"

Su Zhi nodded. "You're right."

After sending off the angry Manager Tao, Qiu Hong finally dared to speak.

"Boss, the warehouse manager is here."

"Well, call him to the second floor and wait for me."

Li Yi stood at the side, and he frowned extremely unhappily as he thought of something. He pulled Su Zhi into a quiet corner, clenched his teeth and said, "This must have been done by the other party. Last time, it was Yu Zhanhong who called for trouble. If not, then there's a second plan. What a sinister idea."

Su Zhi shook her head, indicating for him to calm down. "Before we find out what's going on, we can't act rashly. The most important thing right now is to stop the damage, so that we can restore Flowerless' reputation." Big Brother Li, go and check the other rice grains sold in the restaurant, just in case. "

Li Yi's heart was heavy, but there was nothing he could do. He could only nod in agreement.

Su Zhi went to the second floor's cubicle, where Qiu Hong and the warehouse manager were already waiting.

Only after seeing her did the warehouse manager, Old Yellow, stop his uneasy footsteps and kneel down towards Su Zhi.

"Boss, I was wrong to trust you!"

"What are you doing, Old Yellow, hurry up."

Huang Youshan refused to get up. Tears streamed down his face as he began to cry.

"If you have something to say, then say it properly. The most important thing right now is to stabilize the situation. We must not panic and fear others' words." When the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light.

"Boss, I, Old Yellow, am a sinner who has been to an inner prison. I didn't expect that you would use me so highly. Now that I've made such a mistake, I'll never have the face to see you again!"

Su Zhi helped him up, allowing him to calm down before she spoke again, "I know that you can't be blamed for this, so I came to find you to clarify what exactly happened. You can just answer whatever I ask."

"Ok, ask away, boss. I will tell you everything I know!"

Su Zhi nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Is everything in the warehouse normal?"

"That's only natural. After knowing that something had happened, I immediately checked them one by one. There's absolutely no problem."

There was nothing wrong with the items in the warehouse, which was that they had either made a mistake during the delivery or had their bags dropped while they were still in the Intoxicated Dream Pavilion. It was impossible for a good meal to rot the moment it left the storehouse.

"Who's in charge of transporting the stuff to Drunken Dream House?"

Old Yellow wiped his tears and said honestly, "It's just the two of them, Da Zhu and Ah Niu. You know them. They are both honest people and have no bad intentions."

"I know, I don't suspect these people. If it was still fine in the warehouse, then there might be changes along the way. Which way did you take the goods this time? "

"We took a detour around the west side of the city, but our eyes never left them. How did it end up like this?"

Su Zhi, on the other hand, couldn't believe it. It was very likely that something had gone wrong on the way, and it was also possible that it had happened in Drunken Dream House. However, it was unlikely to happen.

"Take me over there."

"Ai ai, alright!" The group of people immediately set off towards the warehouse.

The purpose of this warehouse was to store all the goods. The rice, grain, and oil that would not be able to be stored in this place were all properly stored. Some customers needed Su Zhi to write an order with a red stamp and sign it, then send it to Old Yellow by a specific person.

The order was written in detail on the quantity, the name of the goods, as well as the place where they were sent to, signed by the recipient.

Because of this method, the supply and demand chain had never had any problems before.

Su Zhi specifically made a trip to the warehouse and checked everything inside. Everything inside was still in good condition. If so, it was indeed a problem on the road and at the destination.

She looked around and immediately thought of something, "Old Yellow, prepare the fire protection facilities in the warehouse. If there is a fire, you must put it out as soon as possible."

"I know, I'll do it right away!"

"In addition, you need to be able to protect yourself from the tide. Go find a better carpenter and make a wooden shelf for the goods. "In the end, you must send someone to patrol the area at all times in order to prevent any random person from appearing."

The weasel immediately nodded in agreement, then called for his subordinates to do so.

After being extra careful, Su Zhi turned her gaze towards the small path that led to the restaurant, "Call A'Niu and Big Pillar over, then let's go take a walk towards Drunken Dream. Maybe we can find something."

In her opinion, this road was built by coincidence. The official road to the west of the city was not easy to walk on, but the local magistrate court had never cared about it. Why did they suddenly stop and say that they were going to repair it?

"Ah Niu, are you sure that your line of sight never left the goods on the cart when we were transporting them?"
