Chapter 238
Shen Ge and Fang Mingyue followed the manager to the storage room. As the most famous restaurant in this pedestrian street, the quality and freshness of the ingredients were indeed quite good. Although there was a fair amount of frozen goods, looking at the menu, they indeed separated frozen and fresh items, and the price difference between the two was significant.
Using his “Ghost Eye,” Shen Ge discovered that aside from the batch of “Australian imported beef” which contained some ghostly energy, the other types of meat were not contaminated.
Fang Mingyue didn’t have the Ghost Eye, so she naturally couldn’t make a judgment with just a glance like Shen Ge. She could only scan the area with her ghost energy detector.
“Is that all?” Fang Mingyue asked the manager after scanning and finding nothing.
The manager quickly nodded. “That’s all. Because the Australian beef is all fresh, slaughtered early every morning and transported by a chartered plane, we don’t stock too much each day.”
As he spoke, a waiter had already brought over the certificate of authenticity and inspection report. The manager took them and immediately handed them to Fang Mingyue. “Officer, here are the certificate and inspection report for this batch of Australian beef.”
Fang Mingyue took the reports and flipped through them. All the stamps and certificates were complete, and the test values were normal. She was just about to hand them back to the manager when she heard Shen Ge ask a question. “By the way, isn’t this false advertising? You call it ‘Australian Beef,’ but the source is from Korea?”
The manager gave an awkward smile. “Well… Officer, you know I’m just a small manager. The sourcing is definitely handled by the big boss. During training, they said the cattle are imported from Australia, sent to the great grasslands of Korea for rearing, and then transported by a professional slaughtering organization.”
With an expression that clearly said, “Are you kidding me?”, Shen Ge asked, “I think you’re an even bigger bull***t artist than those Koreans. Korea is such a tiny place. Find me a few grasslands there that can sustain Australian beef cattle? And if I’m not mistaken, the address of the slaughterhouse is near Seoul.”
