"Ah?" Unexpectedly, the beauty would be angry. Shang Bin was startled and quickly explained: "Teacher Shen, I didn't mean you, I meant Zhang Xuan. Don't invite people to dinner if you don't have money. If you let people stop you, it's simply It's embarrassing and damages the prestige of our college..."
Before he finished speaking, the face of the goddess in front of him became darker and darker, and she was about to explode at any time. Shang Bin was full of doubts when he saw the waiter interrupting him with an embarrassed look: "Young Master Shang..."
"What's wrong?" Shang Bin looked over with a frown.
"Ahem, my treat is... this Teacher Shen!" the waiter said.
He received the order to cooperate with Shang Bin in acting, but he didn't expect that a man and a woman were eating, and it was the woman who paid the bill. Before he could report, Shang Bin rushed over, and there was no time to explain.
"Teacher Shen, are you treating me to a treat?"
Shang Bin was startled, his eyes widened in disbelief.
real or fake
He invites the goddess to dinner every day, but she ignores him. What qualifications does this guy who is the last in the academy have to have dinner with her, and... let her treat him
"What? I don't have money to pay the bill, so I'm just pretending to be generous, which is embarrassing, right?" Shen Biru looked over coldly. She was very depressed after being embarrassed in front of Zhang Xuan today. She didn't expect to be laughed at by this guy, and she was so angry. About to explode.
"No, no..." Shang Bin's face turned pale and he was about to cry.
Only then did I understand that I wanted to flatter him, but ended up hitting the horse's hoof. I waved my hand quickly: "That's not what I meant, it's... it's..."
I said it several times and didn’t know how to answer.
However, he is worthy of being the elder's grandson, a college teacher, and well-informed. He quickly reacted, turned to look at the waiter, and waved his hand: "Okay, Teacher Shen's bill is mine. How much is it, I will help pay it." Got it!"
"Young Master Shang, what are you talking about? You are a distinguished guest of our Hongtian Tower, how can we ask for your money!" The waiter nodded quickly.
This was a line they had agreed on a long time ago, just to show his identity and ability in front of the goddess.
"That's good..." Shang Bin was about to continue talking and show off his domineering attitude when he heard Shen Biru's voice again: "No, I will pay for what I spend myself, so as not to be said to be pretending to be generous." !”
Then he took off the hairpin stuck in his head: "This jade hairpin is worth at least five thousand gold coins. You can find someone who understands to verify it. I will deposit it here first. When I go back and get the money, I will come back to redeem it!"
"this… "
Holding the hosta, the waiter didn't know what to do.
These are not in the script that was promised before...
"Teacher Shen, there's no need for this. Deacon Wu from Hong Tianlou and I are friends. I just want to say that your little money is nothing..."
Shang Bin hurried forward.
"That's your business, what does it have to do with me?" Shen Biru interrupted him and looked at the waiter again: "If you don't find someone to verify it, I'll leave!"
"I..." The waiter quickly looked at Shang Bin with eyes full of help.
"What are you looking at me doing?" Shang Bin waved his hands anxiously, with an angry look on his face: "I don't know you!"
"alright!"
Unexpectedly, a meal would become such a mess. Zhang Xuan shook his head and walked up, took the hosta from the waiter's hand and handed it to Shen Biru again: "Why did you give him this? This meal is not worth 1,280 gold coins. Give him the money." , do you want him to blackmail you?"
"Blackmail? Hong Tianlou has been established for nearly ten years. The prices are fair and the people are honest. No one has ever asked for trouble. What do you mean?"
As soon as Zhang Xuan finished speaking, a middle-aged man strode up.
Deacon of Hong Tianlou, Wu Chou.
He also made an agreement with Shang Bin that he didn't have to show up, but now that he heard Zhang Xuan talk about blackmail, he couldn't bear it anymore.
What happened here has already alarmed many diners. If they don't show up again and let the other party talk about it, the reputation of the restaurant will definitely be damaged. When the boss, Elder Hong Hao, comes back, why not kill him
"What do you mean? Do you have to say it out for me?"
Zhang Xuan raised his eyelids, smelling lazily.
"Humph, every dish in our Hongtianlou uses the most precious ingredients, is fresh and delicious, and the price has been approved by Hongtian College. If you can't explain why, even if you are a teacher at the college, don't even think about it today. gone!"
Deacon Wu’s face darkened.
For a restaurant, blackmailing customers is a serious crime. If it is not understood and spread, Hongtian Tower will not need to be opened.
"You are really looking for death!"
I thought I couldn't deal with Zhang Xuan this time, but when I saw that he actually said Hong Tianlou was blackmailing and offended Deacon Wu, Shang Bin's eyes flashed with excitement.
Deacon Wu usually seems to be easy to talk to and has a good temper, but when it comes to Hong Tianlou's reputation, he will not give in at all!
The guy who ranks last in the academy seems to be unlucky!
"What is this guy talking about..."
Shen Biru looked anxious.
The Hongtian Building can be opened in Hongtian College and built in such a big way. You can imagine the power behind it. If you openly say that people are blackmailing customers, isn't this making people cause trouble for you
This kind of big restaurant attaches great importance to reputation.
"Since you want me to say it, I won't be polite!"
Facing the opponent's threat, Zhang Xuan didn't take it seriously and came to the table.
"This [Purple Fragrant Bear Meat], according to your statement, is made after killing the violent bear and soaking it with purple fragrant flowers for three days. This way, the meat can be charred on the outside and tender on the inside, full of aroma. Unfortunately, you only soaked it for one day." I took it out halfway, stir-fried it and served it. Although the taste is similar, the medicinal properties of the purple flowers have not penetrated at all, and it is useless no matter how much I eat!"
"As for this [Honghu mandarin fish], you advertise that it is wild mandarin fish caught from Hong Lake, but it is actually captive-bred mandarin fish from Yeluo Bay. The difference between the two is very simple. Wild mandarin fish has to face natural enemies [ Qinghe Turtle], the tail fin is harder than the normal captive mandarin fish, and the tail is much thicker, you can find out if you ask around a little bit!"
"This [Stir-fried Woxincao], not to mention, is not woxincao at all, but bittersweet! These two plants are actually the same kind, but they grow in different environments and have different names. Woxincao grows in The roots of the wild beasts' dens are generally very large and have much higher nutritional value if they are cared for by the wild beasts!"
"Sophorae grows in the wilderness. It is very cheap. Its rhizomes are small and its nutritional value is much lower! For the same dish, the price of the two is at least ten times different! They are not the same! They label woxincao, but use Kusabai, isn’t this blackmail?”
…
Zhang Xuan pointed at a dish and clearly stated the origin and shortcomings of the dish. Deacon Wu, who was originally aggressive, turned pale when he heard these words.
As the butler of Hong Tianlou, he handles not only the customers at the front desk, but also the kitchen affairs in the back, so he naturally knows the truth of what the other party says.
Not just nonsense, but... so right!
The boss didn't know about these things, but he had someone quietly change them in order to make huge profits, especially the Honghu mandarin fish and woxincao. The two substitutes were almost exactly the same. Even a professional gourmet didn't notice anything unusual.
How did this boy figure it out? And it's not wrong at all
"hateful!"
“We came here specifically to eat authentic woxincao from afar, but we didn’t expect it to be fake!”
"Me too. I heard that the Honghu mandarin fish here is the most fragrant, tastes good and authentic. They came here specially, but they fooled us like this!"
"Refund the money, refund the money! The No. 1 restaurant in Hongtian College used fake and shoddy products. Unfortunately, I am still a regular customer, but I was deceived like this!"
…
Zhang Xuan spoke calmly and well-founded, and everyone watching the excitement immediately became upset.
Hong Tianlou is considered a famous restaurant in the entire Tianxuan Kingdom. Many of its signature dishes attract countless powerful people. They never dreamed that these are all fake!
