Chapter 193 192. Very suspicious

I sold spicy steamed buns for a few days.

I found it when checking the accounts.

The spicy steamed bun is selling at a loss.

A customer bought ten steamed buns at once, ate three in the store, and took seven away.

It cost a hundred dollars to come in.

Most people order two steamed buns as soon as they enter the store to satisfy their cravings.

It is really satisfying. After eating two big steamed buns, what else can I eat?

In the past few days of opening for sale, the barbecue restaurant is almost turning into a steamed bun shop...

Limited quantity, must be limited quantity.

Its positioning can only be to solve the gap of lack of staple food in barbecue restaurants.

Luo Yihang had no objection at all to the operation of the barbecue restaurant.

What he is worried about now is that after so many days, the peppers should be harvested on a large scale.

Qiangwa’s food processing factory has not been contacted yet.

Luo Yihang asked what procedures were required to sell chili peppers with oil directly.

Dozens of tons, it’s definitely not self-operated primary agricultural products.

We have business licenses and other things, but the most important one is the food production license. However, to apply for this license, we need to submit production equipment. Without a factory, we can’t have production equipment.

Stuck here.

Luo Yihang plans to wait until the end of October and finish building the shed. If he still can't find a suitable one, he will calculate how much money he has and then buy the equipment and build it himself.

The cost of an ordinary single-product food processing plant ranges from hundreds of thousands to millions. The production process of chili oil is relatively complicated, and in the future there will be other categories, which will require a comprehensive processing plant. The investment will probably be hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions.

With so much money, I’m afraid I can’t even get a loan.

Wait for the cooperation unit’s sign to come down, and go through the process for at least three months, then give it a try.

However, self-construction is the last resort.

Waiting for the peppers to mature and be harvested, waiting for them to be dried in the sun, waiting for the site to be cleaned up, waiting for the smart agriculture side to come up with the design proposal, waiting for the construction, waiting for Dr. Wei to finish his business, and waiting for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to complete the formalities.

Anyway, there are still many things to wait for, so I don’t care about this one.

result.

None of the above came true, but what I got was a summons from the police.

A landline number, the other party claimed to be from Chenggu County Public Security Bureau, and asked Luo Yihang to go there to assist in the investigation.

The tone of his speech wasn't particularly polite.

Luo Yihang was very puzzled. He hadn't been to Chenggu County for ten years. Why did he get notified to assist in the investigation?

But it sounds quite true.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Yihang was worried, so he called Lao Jiang again, but the call didn't go through. I don't know where this guy was again.

I called Gao Qin again.

After explaining the matter, I reported the phone number I had just used, and it turned out to be from the Chenggu County Public Security Bureau.

"Generally speaking, assisting in investigations through phone calls is not a big deal. It's just to understand the situation. Why don't you wait a minute and I'll ask someone." Gao Qin introduced to Luo Yihang.

Luo Yihang thought about it and decided, "Since it's not a big deal, I'll just go over there and there's no need to bother looking for someone."

It’s not far anyway, only twenty or thirty kilometers.

Luo Yihang got in the car and drove straight over.

After arriving and explaining my purpose, I was taken into an empty meeting room by a policeman.

After sitting down, he took out some photos and showed them to Luo Yihang, "Do you know these people?"

Luo Yihang took it and looked at it. The first photo was of a middle-aged couple, the second one was of a vegetable market, and the third one was of a noodle shop in the vegetable market called Sishui Lao Noodle Shop.

What is the method of Sishui? I have never heard of it.

After looking through the three photos, Luo Yihang shook his head and said, "I don't recognize any of them."

The policeman's face darkened immediately after hearing this. He frowned and took out a small bag from the drawer and threw it on the table. "Do you recognize this?"

Luo Yihang looked down and said, "Oil-fried chili pepper, who doesn't know this?"

"Open it and take a look." The young policeman said again with a gloomy face.

"Hmm?" Luo Yihang untied the buckle on the small bag. He knew without tasting it that his chili oil was a new product of the 30% version.

"Why is it here?"

"Do you know each other this time?"

"How can I not recognize what I did?"

"So you admit it?"

"What do I admit?"

For several rounds in a row, both sides kept asking questions and gradually became angry.

The young policeman became excited and raised his voice, asking, "Tell me, where did you get the opium?"

Luo Yihang also raised his voice and asked back: "What opium?"

"Look at where this is. Confess and you'll be given leniency!" The young policeman's voice rose another octave.

Luo Yihang came down instead, frowned, and asked, "Is there any misunderstanding?"

"No misunderstanding!" The policeman waved his hand. "You're just being stubborn, right? Fine. Zhang Sishui from Sishui Noodle Shop has confessed that the chili oil he uses is the one you supplied. We have already investigated and found that it contains drug ingredients."

After hearing this, Luo Yihang laughed. It turned out that Sishui meant the boss’ name was Sishui.

Then he pointed at the chili on the table and asked, "Is this it?"

Without waiting for the policeman to answer, he shook his head again, "First of all, I have never supplied chili peppers to anyone. Secondly, did you really investigate? I'm afraid not."

"Can I still lie to you?"

"Anyway, I don't believe it. You definitely didn't test it."

"How dare you quibble!"

The young policeman became more and more excited, and his voice became louder and louder.

The commotion in the office finally attracted another policeman.

An older one.

He pushed the door open and apologized to Luo Yihang first, "Luo Yihang, right? Sorry, he is new here and has no experience."

He asked the policeman again, "What happened?" "He admitted it, but then changed his statement and denied it." The policeman pointed at Luo Yihang and answered.

The old policeman went to pour a glass of water, put it in front of Luo Yihang, and asked: "Can you tell me what's going on with this chili?"

Luo Yihang shook his head. "I don't know what happened. Can you tell me first?"

"We received a report that a noodle shop in Sishui used chili oil containing addictive substances, suspected to be opium."

After the old policeman finished speaking.

The police officer immediately added, "We found that the prices sold in that restaurant were higher than the market price and there were many customers. In addition, after investigation, some diners said that they would crave it if they missed a meal and would want to eat it every day. This is very suspicious."

"In addition, during the investigation, the store owner Zhang Sishui was very vigilant and hid the chili oil, which is also suspicious."

Good guy.

It’s expensive, and I’m going to panic if I don’t eat it. I’m going to hide it even when the police come. This is too much like…

You are right to doubt!
However, although I don’t know why Zhang Sishui got my chili, there is definitely no such thing in the chili.

And similar situations happen every day.

For example, there were more than 2,000 people queuing that day.

After learning the reason, Luo Yihang smiled and said, "Could it be that the taste is too good?"

"This is not funny!" The young policeman slammed the table in anger.

He asked the old policeman to pull him to the back and turned to ask Luo Yihang, "Do you know this spicy food well?"

Luo Yihang nodded and patiently explained: "These peppers are grown by me. Although I don't know how he got my peppers, this is definitely not opium, nor is it any other drug, it just tastes good.

"Don't worry, I understand how you feel. If someone is suspected of D, we cannot take it too seriously."

"These chilies must have been taken for testing. We'll know once the results come out."

The old policeman also smiled, but he obviously didn't believe it, and then asked: "It is indeed being tested, but the results are not out yet. Before that, can you tell me how it can be as you said, that it simply tastes good?"

Luo Yihang cooperated and talked about microclimate, rich microbial flora, and free amino acids.

This is the inference made by Professor Du.

The young policeman curled his lips, obviously not believing it.

The old policeman listened silently, nodding his head from time to time. When Luo Yihang finished speaking, he immediately asked, "Is there any proof?"

He didn't believe it either.

"Proof? Yes, Professor Du from the Imperial Capital Academy of Agricultural Sciences. How about I call him now?"

"Okay."

Luo Yihang made a video call directly in front of the two of them.

Fortunately, there was nothing going on with Professor Du, so the call was connected quickly.

Before the picture appeared, the sound of strong wind was heard.

When the picture appeared, Luo Yihang saw Professor Du wearing a thick jacket and a hat in this late September weather.

The background is lush and green, and the sky is blue.

He is in the wild.

And very happy.

When she got through the phone and saw Luo Yihang, she held up her phone and asked him to look behind her without waiting for him to speak. "Luo Yihang, do you know where I am? You can't guess. This is in the desert, Ulan Buhe, the eighth largest desert in China."

"One less glimpse means one less. This eighth desert will soon be gone."

"Look at the cabbage I brought. It's growing so well."

"By the way, I've tested the soil I got from you, and it degraded very quickly. The desert is still too harsh. I suspect it has something to do with the micro-environment. Next time I go back to your place, I'll get some more and bring it to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to see if I can replicate it."

"How's yours?"

Well, we've been on the phone for such a long time, and I just heard the old man talking, but Luo Yihang hasn't spoken yet.

"Professor Du, I've been arrested."

"What???"

"I improved the chili fields and produced some, the effect is very good, the chili oil I made is so good that someone reported me for using opium."

Professor Du's expression changed from shock to even more shock, and then...he couldn't help himself.

“Pfft~~Hahahahahahaha.”

Luo Yihang looked helpless. "Laugh, laugh. After you finish laughing, please give me a certificate. The police comrade is here."

"Okay, okay." Professor Du laughed so hard that tears came out. He wiped his eyes and agreed.

Luo Yihang handed the phone to the old policeman.

On the other side of the video, Professor Du had returned to his natural self. He nodded to the old policeman and introduced himself: "I am Du Jing, the vice president of the College of Land and Environment of Imperial Capital Agricultural University, and a second-level researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Agricultural Zoning of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, specializing in soil microorganisms. This is my work permit."

Professor Du was really considerate and even mentioned his position when introducing himself.

The two policemen took a close look at their work ID cards through the screen and straightened their bodies unconsciously.

Professor Du then introduced Luo Yihang, "The man you arrested is called Luo Yihang, the legal representative of Qingyin Agriculture. His farm is a cooperative unit of our Academy of Agricultural Sciences and is part of the microclimate agricultural soil elevation project."

"The things he grows there are indeed, how should I put it, somewhat magical. The cause is very complicated, and we are also studying it."

"But it's definitely not a D grade."

"You can rest assured about this."

"In fact, you will understand if you learn about the other crops produced there."

Having said this, Professor Du paused.

After organizing his words, he said a little bluntly, "You probably can't get access to it, but you should be qualified to learn about it. Simply put, the production is limited and there is no supply."

The young policeman was unhappy after hearing this and muttered, "It's just that my rank is not high enough."

The old policeman scolded him harshly.

He said politely to Professor Du: "Researcher Du, we understand. Thank you for your answer. We will investigate in detail."

hang up the phone.

The old policeman refilled Luo Yihang's water supply but did not let him go.

He smiled and said, "We have to wait a little longer for the test results to come out. Then we also need to understand the materials you have. I hope you can cooperate."

After saying that, he took the young policeman and walked out of the office.

And closed the door.
