âFinally, itâs time to eat. Iâm starving, even though I donât have a chest,â Fang Fei said carelessly.
Immediately after, Du Yao and Guo Fei also got out of the car.
Guo Fei frowned slightly when he saw the entrance of No. 5 Western Suburbs.
âWhat is this place? Why does it feel like a food stall? Didnât I tell you to find a better place?â
âI think thatâs good enough,â Lin Yi said, âLook at the flowers and plants, the environment is great.â
âItâs not grand at all. Itâs far inferior to the five-star hotel I went to previously.â Guo Fei said disdainfully.
âIf I had known that you would choose such a low-class place, I wouldnât have listened to you just now.â
With that, Guo Fei waved his hand. âLetâs go somewhere else. We donât come to
Zhonghai often. Iâll bring you guys to eat something good.â
âLetâs not change locations. Iâm a little hungry,â Fang Fei said.
âBesides, weâre classmates and there are no outsiders among us. It doesnât matter where we eat. Besides, your familyâs money doesnât grow on trees. Isnât it better to save a little?â
âI donât want to go anywhere else.â Du Yao said.
âBrother Lin is a local of Zhonghai. The place he found will definitely taste good.â
âBut when it comes to food, you get what you pay for. The taste is one thing, but the ingredients are also very particular.â
âWhatâs there to be particular about?â Fang Fei said.
âWeâre all from the countryside. When we were in university, we ate spicy sticks every day. No one cares about this. Letâs go in and eat. Iâm starving.â
âAlright.â Guo Fei said reluctantly.
âThen letâs have a simple meal here first. Iâll find you a good place to eat at later. No matter what, you have to enjoy a proper meal.â
âI miscalculated. I didnât find the right place. Iâll just have a simple bite.â Lin Yi smiled.
The four of them entered the courtyard of No. 5 Western Suburbs.
He suddenly realized that although the outside looked ordinary, the environment inside was far different.
In the green waterside pavilion, wind chimes tinkled. There were also many abstract works of art. Although many of them did not understand what they meant, they gave off a feeling of serenity.
Guo Fei looked around and felt that the quality of this place was alright. It didnât look like a food stall.
The price should match his own consumption.
Lin Yi walked in front and pushed the door open.
The restaurant was decorated in a medieval style, and most of the furniture was made of mahogany.
Although it lacked a modern vibe, every detail exuded an elegant aura.
There were eight tables on the first floor, five of which were occupied.
âThis place is quite unique.â Fang Fei looked around. âIâve never seen such a design in other shops.â
âIt looks alright. At the very least, itâs not a food stall. Letâs just have a simple bite here.â Guo Fei casually pulled a chair over, looking very dignified.
âGood evening, sir and madam. Hereâs the menu. What would you like to eat?â The waiter walked over with a half-bow. His service was very good.
Guo Fei pointed at Du Yao and Fang Fei.
âLadies first. Let them order.
The waiter was very tactful and passed the menu to Du Yao and Fang Fei.
It was obvious that Guo Fei was the one who would pay the bill, so she had to listen to him.
The two of them took the menu and glanced at it. Their hands and facial expressions froze in an instant.
They felt that their eyes were playing tricks on them.
The most expensive dish cost more than 10,000 yuan?
The cheapest one was no less than 200 yuan. What kind of restaurant was this?
It was too expensive.
The two of them looked at it for a long time but did not know what to do.
Wouldnât this meal cost more than ten thousand yuan? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âGuo Fei, I think we should go somewhere else,â Fang Fei said.
âWhy change places? Arenât you two hungry?â Guo Fei crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair.
âOrder whatever you want to eat. Donât stand on ceremony with me.â
âBut, but the things on it are a little expensive. Letâs forget it. Weâre not outsiders.â
âIâve even eaten in five-star hotels before, and I donât think itâs expensive. How expensive can such a small restaurant be?â
âBut the cheapest dishes here are more than 200 yuan. The prices are a little high.â
âThe cheapest is more than 200?â
Guo Feidian could not sit still anymore. This price was indeed not cheap. It was even more expensive than the five-star hotel he went to.
âItâs fine. Just order whatever you like.â
Guo Fei understood Du Yao and Fang Fei. They were not the kind of people who spent money extravagantly.
Naturally, they would not order the most expensive thing. If he calculated according to the average price, five or six dishes would only cost three to four thousand yuan at most. He could still afford it if he gritted his teeth.
Thinking of this, Guo Fei glanced at Lin Yi.
This guy was really rude. He actually chose such an expensive place. Did he want to embarrass him?
However, he probably wouldnât have thought that with Guo Feiâs financial resources, it wouldnât be a problem for him to spend this much!
How inexperienced!
Seeing that Guo Fei had said so, Du Yao and Fang Fei did not say anything else. They held the menu and looked at it for a while before pointing at the 200-odd dishes.
âIâll have this espresso.â
âOkay, four portions of spaghetti bisque,â the waiter said.
âNo, no, no. You heard wrong. We donât want four servings. We want one serving.â âBut the spaghetti bisque is for one person. Itâs all calculated per head.â âUm.
This time, Guo Fei and the other two couldnât sit still anymore. They hadnât ordered anything else, and just ordering four portions of soup cost a thousand yuan.
If other staple foods were included, wouldnât the price reach the heavens? âThen letâs have four. Guo Fei already said that heâs treating us tonight. He even said that we can order whatever we want. We donât have to skimp and save on his behalf.â Lin Yi took the menu and said.
âFour portions of sake and half a head abalone, minced meat, salted duck, wild rhubarb flowers, and two crab soup dumplings for the main course. Fried rice with soy sauce, two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice, and two glasses of
Coke.â
âAlright, sir. Please wait a moment.â
The waiter put away the menu and turned to leave. The atmosphere at the table also quietened down.
âBrother Lin, isnât this price a little expensive? The half abalone you ordered just now seemed to cost more than 10,000 yuan each. Four servings would cost more than 50,000 yuan,â Du Yao whispered.
âI canât do anything about it. Guo Fei doesnât like this kind of place. I have to order some expensive food to make up for that. What if he doesnât like what I ordered?â
Lin Yi smiled and looked at Guo Fei. âThis price should be alright. Although it doesnât reach your consumption level, it shouldnât be much worse, donât you think?â
Guo Feiâs face alternated between red and white, and even his body trembled.
This time, he had brought more than 10,000 yuan with him.
Not to mention paying for this meal, he probably couldnât even afford half the dishes!
Damn it!
He wondered if he could use his familyâs Alipay to pay later. Otherwise, he might not be able to afford it.
âThe⦠the place is alright. Itâs barely passable..â
