In Hangzhou, a lady bought two chickens called Hua to go home, but when she opened it, she saw that it was full of soil and there was no chicken shadow. As soon as this matter was put on the Internet, it immediately sparked heated discussions. The explanation of the store and the reaction of netizens made this matter bigger and bigger.
It all happened in Hangzhou's Hefang Street, a place known for its snacks. A local lady was wandering the street and was recommended to try a specialty snack called Hua Ji Restaurant, called Hua Chicken.
The smell of the flower chicken in the store was mouth-watering, and the lady was also so appetizing that she decided to buy one and try it on the spot.
After eating, she decided to buy two more to take home so that her family could try the local specialty. Returning home full of anticipation, she couldn't wait to unpack one of the chickens, called Hua Chicken.
The moment she opened it, she was stunned—there was nothing in the box except a full bag of dirt. She couldn't believe her eyes, and hurriedly opened the second package, and the result was still the same.
Feeling deceived and angry, she immediately picked up her phone, recorded the scene and uploaded it to the Internet, hoping to find an explanation and also warn other consumers.
As soon as the video came out, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Many netizens began to ridicule, jokingly linking the incident with the names of traditional foods such as "wife cake without wife", and voices of sympathy and anger soon filled the entire comment area.
Not long after the matter fermented, some netizens searched and soon found the specific information of the shop called Huaji. As more people paid attention, local regulators also stepped in to investigate.
In the face of public skepticism, the store finally responded, claiming that the employee in charge of packing that day was a temporary worker who was not familiar with the product, which is why this mistake occurred.
The response did not quell the outrage, but drew more accusations and ridicule. The comment area of Hangzhou Cultural Tourism was quickly occupied by "earthy" jokes, and all kinds of ridiculous and sarcastic comments came one after another.
The affected ladies did not stop there. She contacted the local consumer association and made a formal complaint. The involvement of consumer associations has brought the issue to further public attention.
They demanded that the store provide a more reasonable explanation and make appropriate compensation to the affected consumers. The development of events has put the owner of this shop called Hua Chicken under a lot of pressure.
They began to examine internal administrative and operational processes to ensure that such incidents did not happen again. At the same time, the boss also contacted the lady personally to try to calm the situation by paying compensation.
It was pointed out that this situation may not be an isolated case, and that there may be other similar undetected cases. This has caused more consumers to worry, and they have started to look back on their experience at the store, and some have even started to check if there are similar problems with other food items they have purchased.
