Chapter 94: Chapter 94: My Way of Eating, Stir-Fry a Book
"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome to the hero who saves lives!"
When Lin Fan walked into the private dining room holding Yang Linglong’s hand.
Liu Mo changed from his earlier arrogance and haughtiness.
He was the first to stand up and applaud in greeting.
The others also rose to welcome in a coordinated fashion.
The feeling was as if a true hero was returning triumphantly.
"There’s no need for such a grand welcome. I’ve only done a small deed," Lin Fan said with a smile as he looked at the empty table.
Now that he knew the other party’s game, he was ready to play along.
"That was a matter of two human lives, not a small deed at all. You are our Jiangning’s hero. To be honest, I initially viewed you differently, but knowing about this incident, I must say I hold you in higher regard. After all, the heroes I know of live in books, and you are the first living hero I’ve ever met," Liu Mo said with a smile approaching.
"Today’s meal is my tribute to the hero. All the words will be in the wine. Just watch my performance later," Liu Mo continued.
"How could I let you go to all that expense!" Lin Fan said modestly.
"Liu Mo, you can’t just show off because you’ve got some money. He came here with his girlfriend today; how can you take care of the bill? How would he face anyone after this?"
"Exactly, if he’s a hero, he should be generous. What does it matter if you pay? In my opinion, they should treat us to the meal."
"Today he’s returned with a beauty in tow, while we’re just a bunch of single dogs. They should be the ones treating us to the meal."
Everything went as rehearsed earlier.
The group’s teasing, seemingly at Liu Mo’s expense, was actually ensnaring Lin Fan little by little.
"Hey, I can see right through your flowery intestines. You want to vastly overcharge them, don’t you? You can’t be too excessive. If you dare to play like this, I’m out," Liu Mo pretended to look stern and seemed to take Lin Fan’s side: "How about this, we split the cost of the meal half-and-half? That way, you won’t lose out and I bet these guys won’t dare to make a fuss. You don’t think I’m overstepping, do you?"
"Of course not. Since you’re willing to share the cost with me, that’s perfect. Let’s not distinguish between guests and hosts; just think of it as a gathering. Later, we’ll order plenty of delicious food, so don’t hold back," Lin Fan said nonchalantly.
He then walked to the side with Yang Linglong in tow.
"The Wolf King truly lives up to his name. His presence has put Liu Mo in line. Now he totally submits to you," Yang Linglong said trustfully, excitedly clinging to Lin Fan’s arm.
Now that Liu Mo was subdued, she could act without any concerns.
"Not completely subdued yet. The real showdown is coming," Lin Fan said as he gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Yang Linglong to sit down.
Then he sat next to her.
Meanwhile, Liu Mo returned to his seat.
Sitting opposite, he couldn’t help but curve his lips into a smile.
"Since I am treating with the hero, why don’t you order first? Later, I’ll just add a few dishes," Liu Mo said, passing the bulky menu to Lin Fan.
Liu Mo’s intention of sharing the bill was to secure the right to order.
He had already decided to select several expensive dishes.
To make Lin Fan unable to foot the bill.
"It’s my first time here, so please you order first. I’ll add a few dishes afterwards. You set the example for me," Lin Fan said as he passed the menu back.
"Alright, since you insist, I won’t hold back!" Liu Mo didn’t decline and took the menu.
Whether before or after, as long as the dishes were expensive enough, that was all that mattered to him.
"Clear broth swallow’s nest, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, rock sugar blood swallow, Tai Shi Five Snake Soup, plain boiled cabbage, Braised Shark’s Fin..."
As dish after dish was named,
Yang Linglong started to become unsettled.
She had been to this place a few times and knew that a table generally only had one main dish.
The priciest one.
Each dish listed, the cheapest was in the thousands of yuan.
As for shark fin and bird’s nest, which were also in the thousands, everyone would get a portion.
With a table of fifteen or sixteen people, the total would be tens of thousands.
Just from hearing these names, one knew that this meal would start at no less than five hundred thousand yuan.
"Well, I’ve ordered enough. It’s your turn, hero," Liu Mo said, passing the responsibility back.
Liu Mo, who was almost done ordering, smiled wickedly and passed the menu back.
He had ordered all the specialty dishes of the restaurant.
This meal, he intended to eat him into bankruptcy.
"Waiter, come here."
Without reaching for the menu, Lin Fan snapped his fingers at the waiter.
"Cancel all the dishes that gentleman just ordered!"
"Hiss..."
This move suddenly left everyone stunned.
No one had expected Lin Fan to play this trick.
"Hey hero, what do you mean by this? I’m willing to pay half the bill for this meal. Aren’t you being a little too stingy by doing this?"
Liu Mo’s face darkened as he glared at Lin Fan.
Clearly, he had fallen into a trap, and yet he seemed to be leaping out of it.
"I’m a straight talker, if it’s unpleasant to hear, just bear with it. Since you all are businessmen, why are you so stingy when making moves? I despise that you ordered too cheaply. I just wanted to reorder, that’s all. Do you mind?"
Lin Fan, grinning, took the menu but didn’t even open it.
"My order was cheap? Alright then, go ahead and order something pricier. Don’t you fall short of me."
Liu Mo’s face turned instantly red.
He raised his voice while pointing at the menu.
He had already picked the famous dishes to order.
Yet to be called cheap.
This guy was too arrogant.
"Ordering dishes is such an easy task, there’s no need to waste all that cunning. Come, bring me everything that’s recorded here."
Lin Fan thrust the menu at the waiter.
"Sir... What... What do you mean?"
The waiter was left utterly bewildered by this statement.
She had never seen anyone order like this before.
"It’s very simple, just stir-fry a copy—bring me everything listed above. That way, the next time I come, I’ll know what tastes good, right? Oh, and what’s the most expensive liquor you have here, and how much is it?"
Lin Fan asked, lounging with one leg crossed over the other.
"The most expensive is a fifty-year-old Feitian, a one-jin bottle costs seventy-seven thousand six hundred and fifty yuan."
The waiter clutching the menu was a bit confused.
She really hadn’t seen this method of ordering before.
"Mmm, that will have to do for a drink, bring me thirty bottles to start!"
Lin Fan said nonchalantly.
"Thirty bottles! But there are only fifteen of us..."
"Two bottles per person... that’s two jin of liquor... I can’t drink that much..."
"I can barely handle one cup!"
"It’s too much, we can’t finish it."
Not to mention the cost, the sheer volume was intimidating.
Liu Mo was also a bit befuddled.
That’s two jin of liquor per stomach; wouldn’t that kill someone?
"Oh, right, I forgot about you guys. Add another ten bottles, let them try some too."
Lin Fan suddenly slapped his head and said.
Everyone’s mouths gaped open at this gesture.
"You’ve ordered so much, can you... can you even finish it?"
Liu Mo now felt a bit of pain as well.
Those forty bottles of liquor amounted to over three million.
"Of course, I can finish it, but why do I feel like you’re quite distressed? Could it be that you, a grand second-generation rich kid, care about a mere million or so?"
Lin Fan squinted his eyes, smirking at Liu Mo.
"How could that be? As long as everyone’s happy eating, it’s good. Money is just a string of numbers anyway!"
Liu Mo clenched his molars but tried to maintain an air of nonchalance.
However, he calculated that the people there could at most drink up to ten bottles.
If they couldn’t finish the liquor, they could return it, and he would still be able to bear the cost.
"Did you hear that? Then bring the liquor first!"
Lin Fan nodded, satisfied.
It seemed he could really enjoy himself today.
