But it's not even noon yet, let alone many places not yet open for business, who would engage in illegitimate transactions in broad daylight?
Zheng He thought about it and decided to start with the shopping malls, restaurants, and online platforms.
However, to expose fakes on online platforms, one must first purchase the products to verify their authenticity. With only two days left for the show, by the time the products were shipped, the show would be over.
So the online platform channel can be ruled out for now.
Then Zheng He first visited the restaurant industry to see if there was any overcharging, and he also wanted to check whether the kitchen hygiene was up to standard, but usually, business owners do not allow customers to enter the kitchen area.
Zheng He couldn't find a suitable reason to go in, so he could only stand close to the kitchen, sneaking peeks inside whenever the chefs moved around and the kitchen curtains were opened.
