Shopkeeper didn’t know what to do anymore; public outrage had already erupted, and it seemed impossible not to lead everyone to inspect the kitchen.
"Shopkeeper, looking at you , there must be something wrong with your restaurant, right? Otherwise, why wouldn’t you dare to let everyone go see?"
"There’s definitely an issue, otherwise how could there be cockroaches in the food?"
"I said we should eat across the street, but you all insisted this place was cheaper. Now look what’s happened."
"Who would have thought this place was so deceitful? If I had known this, I wouldn’t have come here even if you killed me."
"No wonder it’s cheaper than the place across the street, turns out it’s because the food isn’t clean."

The crowd was in an uproar, everyone was discussing the issue heatedly, saying that Dongfeng Restaurant was inexpensive because there was something wrong with the food, and eventually, the topic turned back to Li Fuyou.
"The owner of that place is problematic himself, indulging in unnatural relations, and now it turns out his restaurant has problems too."
"From now on, we can’t deal with such people."
As soon as Amo stepped out, he heard everyone discussing his young master’s indecency, and he was immediately furious, "All of you shut up."
But the crowd simply couldn’t be stopped.
"Oh, isn’t this his lackey? We start talking and he gets this angry, there must be something going on between them."
"Young man, you are so blindly loyal to your young master, but your young master can’t stand being alone, turning to beggars, and going to brothels, it really must be tough on you."
Amo was so angered by what everyone was saying that he shouted at the crowd, "Shut up, all of you, our young master is not sick at all, and if anyone says otherwise, watch out, I’ll beat them."
Seeing Amo so angry, the crowd no longer brought up the topic of Li Fuyou’s indencency.
But the cockroach issue hadn’t been resolved yet, and the patron who had found it was relentless, "You must give us an explanation today, this can’t just be let go."
"That’s right, we need an explanation. Let everyone go see the kitchen."
As the crowd spoke, they had already begun walking towards the kitchen; the staff from Dongfeng Restaurant couldn’t hold them back, and like a swarm, everyone rushed into the kitchen.
As soon as they reached the kitchen, they started rummaging about, inspecting the ingredients.
Then, someone cried out in alarm, "Ah!"
There were actually live rats crawling on the floor of Dongfeng Restaurant’s kitchen, scaring everyone into screaming and hopping about to avoid them.
The kitchen became a scene of chaos, "You’re still claiming your food is clean? Besides cockroaches, there are even rats! Who would dare to eat here in the future?"
"Indeed, this is intolerable. Today, you must give us an explanation."
"Report to the authorities, we must report it."
"We can’t let such establishments harm the common folk."
Seeing the situation was out of control and irretrievable, Amo could only open his mouth to say, "Everyone, listen to me. Today’s incident at Dongfeng Restaurant is surely a misunderstanding. There’s no need to involve the government office. Look, how about this, no one has to pay for their meals today."
"After all this, with things found in the food, who would pay? We’re not fools. No, you must compensate us." It was clear that nobody was taking Amo’s words seriously.
Amo, having no choice, continued to propose, "We will compensate each person five taels, what do you all think?"
"Five taels is too little; what if it kills someone?"
"Then you tell me, how much?"
"At least ten taels."
"Fine, ten taels it is. But please, keep this matter confidential."
