Chapter 95

~7 min read 1,220 words

But they didn't expect that they had become fans of a bunch of big dorks!

And now they are crying online, begging to be let off!

Netizens began to tease them.

We Zibo officials are submissive to the outside, for fear of doing something wrong that will make the people dissatisfied.

We Zibo officials strike with a heavy fist on the inside, even shouting the domineering slogan: "Whoever smashes We Zibo’s pot, I will smash your bowl!"

And so

Countless netizens followed the internet cable to the "Let’s Fall in Love" live-stream.

On the live-stream screen.

Bai Lu pulled Zhang Yang in front of a purple rice cake shop, looking drooling.

"Zhang Yang! I want to eat purple rice cakes; this is one of the top ten must-eats in We Zibo recommended on Little Black Book!"

"Okay, then let’s buy some and try it; it looks quite delicious."

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he gave a secret signal to the camera.

Everyone in the live-stream instantly perked up; the real deal was coming!

[Do you guys think that when Zhang Yang takes out the electronic scale, the boss will want to stab someone!]

[Anyway, I wouldn't dare to take out an electronic scale face-to-face; I’m afraid I’ll get beaten!]

[Don't worry, this situation is easy to distinguish, because the intent to stab someone cannot be hidden in the eyes!]

[Do you guys guess if Zhang Yang will flip the car this time?]

[Place your bets!]

[All We Zibo officials: Friendly reminder!]

[The sentencing for the crime of gambling is: fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or surveillance, and a fine.]

[Everyone: Damn?!]

Teacher Zhang Yang officially strikes.

"Auntie! How do you sell these purple rice cakes?"

"These are 8 yuan a jin, young man, how much do you want? These are very delicious."

The auntie’s full smile was all about hospitality.

Zhang Yang smiled. "Auntie, there are just two of us, give me a jin!"

The auntie agreed very readily, skillfully cutting out three pieces of purple rice cake of similar size.

Then she put the purple rice cakes into a packing box and placed them on the electronic scale.

"Hmm, it’s a little over, 8.5, I’ll just charge you 8!"

[At this moment, the auntie still doesn't know the severity of the problem; he’s about to take out the scale!]

[Boo-hoo... I’m crying!! I saw real rounding down. Where I’m from, they always round up, only giving you 9 yuan; I’m numb!]

[This auntie is smiling so nicely, and she took the initiative to round down; nothing should go wrong, right!]

[That’s not necessarily true; maybe the water content inside is more than 50 cents, deliberately giving you 50 cents less, the auntie makes a huge profit of 1 yuan, and you’re still moved to tears!]

[This can't be tolerated, Brother Yang! Bring out the tools!]

"Auntie, can I weigh it myself?"

"Hehe, you even brought a scale? Sure, sure, no problem, try it!"

The auntie’s expression didn't change, she just felt a bit surprised.

Zhang Yang gave Bai Lu a look.

Bai Lu had been hungry and thirsty for a long time, and now it was finally her turn to appear.

She excitedly took the electronic scale out of her bag, placed it on the table, leveled it, and cleared it.

This posture was smooth and flowing, done in one go, fully showing that Bai Lu had secretly practiced a lot!

Zhang Yang placed the purple rice cakes in the box onto the electronic scale.

[526g!]

"Auntie! That’s great, full weight, and even a little extra!"

Zhang Yang gave a sincere thumbs up!

The auntie was calm, as if this was just a very normal thing.

"Our scales are generally standard, you can be completely assured of that!"

Suddenly, a tsk-tsk sound came from the side.

It turned out that in this short time, Bai Lu had already started munching on the purple rice cake.

"Sweet, chewy, very delicious!"

Zhang Yang looked up to the sky and sighed. "Bai Lu! We haven't paid yet!"

"Hehe, it’s okay, it’s okay, it doesn't matter if you pay later!"

[We Zibo is awesome!! Passed the level again, not only was it not short-weighted, but there was even a little extra!]

[If We Zibo goes on like this, it’s going to kill it. Full weight is one thing, but they even round down, and not the reverse kind!]

[On my way to We Zibo, I’m even more impatient!]

[The people of We Zibo are too happy, really good quality and cheap, and no tricks.]

[What kind of treasure city is this We Zibo? You must go once in your life!]

[Brother Yang, move on to the next shop, I want to see if other merchants are all like this!]

Subsequently, Zhang Yang took Bai Lu and shuttled through the Eight Great Cuisines.

Bought fried pot cakes, old cream cakes, milk sticks, pumpkin strips...

In this process, Zhang Yang’s anti-fraud mission failed without exception, and many were even more than full weight!

Before long, Zhang Yang’s hands were full of things.

Bai Lu was holding a box of fried pot cakes and eating them with a crunch.

She had been attracted by the food in front of her and had long forgotten the purpose of this trip.

"This is really delicious, Zhang Yang, you have one!"

After saying that, Bai Lu picked up a fried pot cake and fed it to Zhang Yang’s mouth!

The live-stream was in an uproar!

[Hey hey, did you guys forget, you weren't called here to fall in love, but to expose fraud, brothers!]

[There’s no future in exposing fraud in We Zibo, might as well fall in love!]

[That’s right, it’s really too hard to expose fraud in We Zibo now.]

[Look, the We Zibo officials are starting to feel proud now.]

[I don't believe it, there must be a place in the vast Eight Great Cuisines that hides dirt!]

[Found it! Found it! Found it!]

[Zhang Yang, stop! It’s right here, this place is 100% going to have issues!]

At this time, Zhang Yang and Bai Lu happened to pass by a fruit stall, a mobile fruit stall at that.

This is a double-stacked buff, there’s definitely something fishy here!

This was the common thought of everyone in the live-stream.

Zhang Yang’s gaze locked directly onto the tray of strawberries on the stall,

this kind of pre-packaged fruit is the easiest to cheat people with.

Passing off inferior goods as superior is just the basics, and sometimes there are even no fruits in the box at all.

"Boss, how much for this tray of strawberries?"

"10 yuan a tray, two jin a tray!"

"Ah?!"

Bai Lu was stunned; she thought she had misheard.

Are strawberries in We Zibo that cheap?

Outside, strawberries are all ten or twenty yuan a jin, and here it’s only five yuan a jin!

[Zhang Yang!! You must check him, strawberries are so cheap, there must be something fishy inside!]

[If it’s true, then the people of We Zibo can achieve strawberry freedom!]

[Maybe it’s just the ones on the outside that look good, and the ones underneath might be rotten, or there might be nothing at all!]

Zhang Yang was also harboring this thought in his heart.
