Listening to Xu Yi’s quote on boiled cabbage in water.
"Pfft!"
The fat man spewed out a mouthful of blood scornfully: "Are you kidding me? Just boiling cabbage in water, even if it’s delicious, you’re asking for 998 from me?"
Not just him, everyone around sprayed.
"Holy crap, 998? Are you messing with me?"
"Are you kidding?"
"Enough is enough! We all came to support your business, joking is fine, but don’t take it too far."
"Exactly, just a dish of boiled cabbage in water, and it’s worth 998?"
"..."
"Sorry, I’m not joking."
Xu Yi shrugged, speaking earnestly: "Boiled cabbage in water is indeed 998 per serving, and we are already losing money on this. Plus, it’s limited supply, sold until it’s gone, no waiting if it’s too late."
"Fine, very fine, consider me scared! You are a rip-off! I see now, this has all been a show you’ve directed from the start, it’s all a display! Just to trap us ordinary folks!"
Listening to Xu Yi’s firm words, the fat man was so angry he gritted his teeth:
"Everyone please believe me, my Weibo is named Yumian Chilong. I have some status in Shimen City’s food scene, I’ve seen plenty of tricks like this!"
People will do anything just to save face, the fat man had to accuse the restaurant of being a black shop to avoid others from saying he’s blowing hot air and can’t afford it.
Hearing the fat man’s self-introduction, the surrounding people suddenly realized.
"So it’s you, Yumian Chilong."
"I am actually a fan of yours, Yumian Chilong, your words definitely hold credibility."
"It seems everything today has been for show!"
"..."
"Please don’t slander."
Xu Yi, hearing the fat man’s smear, was extremely angry, really wanted to hit this guy with a broom!
The fat man sneered, pointing at the class six students and said: "Slander? Are they all paying 998 per dish? Don’t say it’s Lu Xiaobu treating, if it is, it confirms you are putting on a show!"
"This..."
Xu Yi, hearing the fat man’s words, was suddenly stunned.
What to do now?
The students were indeed guests of Young Master Bu, now it seems they can’t even speak the truth.
Otherwise, it’s like mud stuck on the crotch — not crap, but might as well be!
"Huh? Nothing to say now, huh. I just guaranteed, these students definitely can’t even take out a hundred bucks, let alone 998!"
The fat man yelled: "A black shop, absolutely a black shop! I’ve seen this trick many times."
Passersby also started to get angry.
"You Lu Family are too much, we all see each other often, why do this?"
"Indeed, the Lu Family used to be very good, since when did you start scamming people?"
"You..."
People’s emotions escalated, and it made it seem like the Lu Family’s restaurant was putting poison in the food, universally condemned.
But what nobody noticed was, a person with a sleazy look on his face showed a thrilled smile and sneakily left the crowd.
At this moment, the fat man triumphantly looked at Xu Yi: "That’ll teach you to scam me, now you have nothing to say! I’ll make it easy for you, if there is one person who can take out 998, I’ll buy one serving, ten people, I’ll buy ten servings, and I mean it!"
"Hey, fatty." Li Qiang, relishing the deliciousness of the boiled cabbage water, called out to the fat man: "Hey, look over here."
The fat man turned to look.
Li Qiang waved at him and then pulled out a thousand yuan from his chest and slapped it on the table, coldly saying: "Here’s a thousand, the additional two is for you, do you want some points?"
"This!" The fat man’s face suddenly turned green— he had just said that people had no money.
But he would not admit defeat, stubbornly saying: "Just because you have money doesn’t prove anything."
"Slap!"
The student to the left of Li Qiang pulled out a thousand yuan and slapped it on the table, coldly looking at the fat man.
The fat man’s face flushed red: "That’s just two..."
"Slap!"
The student to the right of Li Qiang pulled out a thousand yuan and slapped it on the table, coldly looking at the fat man.
Fatty’s head began to sweat: "It’s just..."
"Slap.Slap.Slap.Slap!"
Before Fatty could finish his sentence, including Wu Qianmin and Zhou Jingyuan, 62 students each took out a thousand yuan and slapped it on the table, all sneering at Fatty.
They wouldn’t stand by and let Lu Xiaobu be slandered.
"I... you... you guys..."
Fatty felt like crying—come on, that’s not fair, that’s bullying!
The thudding sound of the money hitting the table felt like a slap in his own face!
The passersby also quieted down, their faces reddening in embarrassment, staying in place awkwardly.
"Er... seems like we wronged a good person."
"They came with money!"
"Done for, totally humiliated!"
"..."
Li Qiang sneered on the side—Fatty, you’re so unlucky, usually we can’t do anything about you, but today, Young Master Bu just gave each of us a thousand yuan in school! You’ve got a big mouth!
Xu Yi immediately added fuel to the fire with a smile: "998 per portion, a total of 62 portions, making it 61876 yuan. For today’s grand opening, aiming for good luck, I’ll write off the change of 76, making it 61800 yuan total. Credit card or cash?"
Fatty’s liver ached—over 60,000 yuan, am I insane, what was I bragging about, doing what I said I would, what now?
He stood there, unable to find peace, his face hurting immensely, not knowing whether to go or stay.
"Alright, alright, we were just kidding. We’re all from the same place, we wouldn’t really make you pay over sixty thousand."
But Xu Yi suddenly smoothed things over: "If you really can afford it, buy one portion to try, guaranteed to be more than worth it. This is a dish personally guided by our Young Master Bu." Sёar?h the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
When running a business, you can’t be unreasonably harsh, especially with Young Master Bu present, and his every action could easily be seen as representing Young Master Bu. Can’t embarrass Young Master Bu!
"Alright, alright." Fatty hurriedly took the way out: "I apologize for my irresponsible words just now. I’ll buy one portion to try."
"Alright, please wait a moment," Xu Yi said with a smile.
Soon.
A portion of ’Boiled Cabbage in Plain Water’ was served, placed in front of Fatty.
Fatty opened the lid, looked at it, sniffed it, and turned to Xu Yi: "Although I did misspeak earlier, is this boiled cabbage really worth 998 yuan? After all, a dish should have color, scent, and taste, but now it has no color, no scent, and a name so low it’s a blast, making me really skeptical."
"Eat it and you will see," Xu Yi smiled mysteriously. "This dish concocted by Young Master Bu, if it doesn’t blow your taste buds away, I’m not Xu Yi."
"You’ll see, be careful to not end up unable to salvage the situation like I did just now," Fatty sneered. "However, if your product is indeed worth the price, I will recommend it."
He frowned, picked up his chopsticks, and picked up a piece of cabbage, placing it in his mouth.
The moment his tongue touched the cabbage...
"Boom!"
A thunderous sound that didn’t exist in reality suddenly resounded in his mind, stunning him on the spot!
An explosive taste experience instantly spread through his body like lightning, electrifying and numbing him!
His previous disbelief, distrust, and distaste were completely washed away in this explosive eruption.
He had never thought that plain, scentless boiled cabbage could explode with such an intense and explosive flavor in an instant.
This absolute contrast highlighted the marvelous flavor all the more!
How could he refuse?
How could he possibly refuse?
Absolutely irresistible!
"Fatty, Fatty, that’s a chopstick, stop chewing on it."
Xu Yi quickly woke Fatty who almost bit the chopstick in half.
"Ah? Oh! Cough cough cough!"
Fatty, dazed, quickly pulled the chopstick out of his mouth.
"Is it really that good?" Passersby asked, seeing Fatty’s stupefied expression.
"Tasty? No, not tasty!"
Fatty suddenly shook his head like crazy: "Mr. Xu, I said I wanted ten portions earlier, right? I think I must do what I said, come on, give me ten portions."
Everyone around was instantly stunned.
"Not tasty, but ordering ten?"
"Is his brain damaged?"
"Er... I think I understand. Did the boss say it’s a limited supply, not waiting for anyone?"
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap! Holy crap!"
"Fatty, Yumian Chilong, you shameless loser, trying to hog it all?!"
"..."
