278: Chapter 278: Eating Shrimp 278: Chapter 278: Eating Shrimp After the waiter left, the four of them immediately started eating.

They put on gloves and began peeling and eating shrimp.

The barbecue restaurant tasted great and offered a wide variety of dishes.

There was a whole table full of crayfish, and not one dish was duplicated.

Spiced shrimp, garlic shrimp, fried shrimp, shrimp tails…

All kinds of dishes were available.

The four of them couldn’t help but continuously praise the food as they ate.

The flavors were really too good.

“Chen Yang, have you been to this restaurant before?

The taste is just too good!”

Yang Ruoxi asked as she stuffed a shrimp tail into her mouth.

Chen Yang, not wanting to be outdone, peeled a garlic shrimp and replied.

“I’ve never been here before, I just saw that this place was crowded and decided to come in.”

Upon hearing this, the three women looked around.

Indeed, among many late-night eateries nearby, this one was doing the best business.

And it seemed that every table had ordered crayfish.

“It seems that these crayfish are the signature dish of this restaurant.”

Li Han said after looking around.

Chen Yang nodded, “That must be it, otherwise everyone wouldn’t be ordering it.”

The three women nodded in agreement with Chen Yang’s view, and then nobody spoke again.

They just kept eating.

Before long, only the shells from the table full of crayfish remained…

Chen Yang, feeling almost full, stood up.

“You all eat, I’m going to use the restroom.”

“Alright, bring me back a drink when you come.”

Yang Ruoxi said.

“Sure.”

Chen Yang nodded and then headed straight for the inside of the restaurant.

On the way, he encountered a server and asked, “Excuse me, where is the restroom?”

The server pointed towards the back of the restaurant, “It’s in the back.”

“Thanks,”

Chen Yang said as he made his way through the restaurant.

Past the reception, he figured since he was already there, he might as well pay the bill early.

So, he walked up to the reception.

“Hello, can you tally my bill?”

Chen Yang approached the reception and said.

“Certainly, sir, which table are you from?”

Chen Yang was originally distracted and hadn’t glanced inside the counter.

But hearing a woman’s voice in response, he instinctively turned to look.

At some point, the person behind the counter was no longer an old man, but a girl in her early twenties.

She was quite pretty.

As for her figure, Chen Yang couldn’t see it.

It was blocked by the counter.

But from what he could see of her upper body, she must have been appealing.

“That table, the one that ordered all the crayfish,”

Chen Yang said with a smile as he gestured towards Yang Ruoxi and the others.

“Oh!

Alright, please give me a moment.”

The girl wasn’t very sure when Chen Yang pointed at first.

But when she heard that all had ordered crayfish, she immediately knew which one.

After all, it was too conspicuous.

The girl quickly tapped on the computer, while Chen Yang took the opportunity to admire her.

This girl really was quite alluring.

She had a rather reserved appearance.

But he didn’t look for long before the girl had calculated the bill.

“Sir, your total comes to one thousand three hundred eighty-six yuan.”

The girl said with a smile as she handed over the bill.

“One thousand three hundred eighty-six?

That expensive?”

Chen Yang was slightly surprised.

Although they had eaten lobster tonight, it shouldn’t have cost over a thousand.

Considering at other places, braised shrimp cost just about a yuan each, a thousand yuan would mean a thousand pieces.

How could four people possibly eat that many?

“Yes, sir, one thousand three hundred eighty-six yuan.

Our lobster is of very good quality and taste, so it’s slightly more expensive than other places,”

the girl explained with a smile.

Chen Yang grimaced and couldn’t help but complain inwardly, that’s not slightly expensive.

“Alright, shall we do ‘you scan me, I scan you’?”

Chen Yang took out his phone.

“Sir, please scan this QR code,”

the girl said with a smile, pushing the QR code on the table forward.

Chen Yang opened his camera and scanned it, then transferred over a thousand yuan.

“Done!

It’s paid.”

The restaurant’s transaction sound chimed just as Chen Yang finished speaking.

“Alright, sir, we hope to see you again soon!”

The girl said politely.

Chen Yang nodded slightly, then headed to the restaurant’s restroom.

After coming out of the restroom, and washing his hands at the sink, he happened to run into the old man at the front desk he had seen when he first arrived.

The old man immediately smiled upon seeing Chen Yang.

“Sir, how satisfied were you with the taste of our food?”

The old man enthusiastically struck up a conversation.

Chen Yang nodded, “The taste was indeed excellent, just a bit pricey.”

Hearing this, the old man’s smile grew even wider.

“Don’t hold it against us, sir.

Though our crayfish are pricey, the flavor truly is remarkable, didn’t you notice?”

The old man said chuckling.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang thought for a moment.

He indeed recognized something unique about the crayfish in this restaurant; it had an indescribable taste.

Certainly much tastier than other places.

“It is quite special, but your prices are still too high.

You only get about forty to fifty pieces per dish, but it costs over two hundred yuan per dish!

You’re making a killing!”

Chen Yang appreciated the flavor, but he still couldn’t help but complain about the price.

“Not at all, sir.

You misunderstand me.

Our prices are high, but the ingredients are costly.

The raw materials for our crayfish cost twice as much as the average ones on the market!”

The old man explained earnestly.

By then, he had practically finished washing his hands and didn’t feel like chatting with Chen Yang any longer.

“Eat up and enjoy, sir.

If you’re satisfied, come back next time and I’ll give you a discount!”

The old man said cheerily, then turned and walked away.

Watching the old man’s retreating figure, Chen Yang mused.

He wondered if the crayfish were really as the old man described, worth the high price?

“Could it be that crayfish are also graded differently?”

Chen Yang puzzled over this for a moment, then didn’t stay in the restroom any longer.

The three women were still waiting outside.

When Chen Yang came out and sat down, the three women, who were resting in their seats, seeing that he had taken so long, couldn’t help but ask, “What were you doing?

Why did it take so long?

We were just about to come look for you.”

“Didn’t do much, just took some time finding the restroom.”

Chen Yang casually explained, then looking at the well-rested group, “All rested up?

Shall we head back then?”

“Sure!

I’ll go pay the bill.”

Kexin promptly stood up, ready to settle the bill.

But at this moment, Chen Yang took out the receipt he had in his hand.

“I’ve already paid, let’s just head out,”

Chen Yang said with a smile.

Looking at the receipt in Chen Yang’s hand, Yang Ruoxi and Li Han couldn’t help but laugh.

Kexin’s expression turned somewhat unhappy.

“What’s the deal?

Didn’t we agree earlier that I’d pick up the tab?

Why isn’t anyone keeping their word?”

Kexin said unhappily.

Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

“I saw you all paying already, and as a guy, I can’t always be freeloading, right?

Next time.

You can pay next time.”

Chen Yang said, comforting Kexin a bit, then they all left together.
