Chapter 554 The Collapse of Century-old Cake Shop (3)_1
"Everyone, everyone, listen to a word from me, our Century-old Cake Shop has been in business for sixteen years, and we have always been honest in both our dealings and our conduct. We have never, as everyone has been saying, added any Five Stones Powder to our products! Please, believe in us. We are innocent and do not listen to those rumors outside!"
"It’s not a rumor. We saw it with our own eyes!" a man shouted loudly.
Another young man also cried out, "Whether you are innocent or not, an investigation will tell. We’ve already invited Doctor Hu from Shande Hall. If your pastries don’t contain Five Stones Powder, Doctor Hu will definitely not falsely accuse you."
"Yes, let Doctor Hu check!"
"Let Doctor Hu check!"
The chorus of the crowd grew louder and louder, and Shopkeeper Chen’s lips began to tremble. This was the first time so many people had caused such an uproar. What could he do now?
Before Shopkeeper Chen could say anything, several nimble young men stepped forward, took out several kinds of pastries from the drawers behind the counter, and placed them all on the countertop.
Shopkeeper Chen was horrified and quickly tried to intervene, "No, you can’t do that, you can’t go behind the counter! What are you waiting for? Get them out of here!"
The shop boys were already too stunned by the crowd to intervene. By the time they heard Shopkeeper Chen’s command, it was already too late to pull anyone away.
Soon, the counter was full of various traditional pastries, and Lin Yuan glanced at them. They were all very traditional pastries, and in both appearance and craftsmanship, they were far inferior to those from her own shop.
