After Xu Yun returned to his room, he actually wanted to take this opportunity to report to the Shenlong Brigade. After all, he was going back to Yanjing and to meet Poppy.
He didn't say hello when he left. Xu Yun felt apologetic for not going to see him now.
But Xu Yun was worried that his whereabouts would be exposed. If Lai Wen knew his identity at this time, it would really be a failure.
Therefore, Xu Yun could not act rashly. He could only endure the emptiness, loneliness and coldness in his heart and watched TV in the hotel all morning. Lai Wen did not contact him until noon.
But lunch was ready and was brought in directly by the room service staff. Steak, thick soup, and egg fried rice, this Chinese combination looked very appetizing.
Xu Yun knew what Lai Wen meant, but he just wouldn't let him leave and asked him to wait for news at any time.
Xu Yun ate directly in the guest room and started watching TV again. He watched it all afternoon, and his eyes hurt from watching it, so Lai Wen arranged for someone to come and knock on his room.
Xu Yun opened the door and saw the waiter in the guest room: "Hello sir, Mr. Lai is already waiting for you in the car downstairs. Please come down."
"Yeah, I understand." Xu Yun nodded and walked directly to the elevator.
It seemed that Zhongyue was not an easy dater, so Laiwen took such a good "bait" and spent a whole day to make an appointment.
By the time Xu Yun came downstairs, Lai Wen's car was already parked at the front entrance of the hotel.
Xu Yun wanted to get into the passenger seat, but found that the passenger seat was occupied. Lai Wen actually left the other seat in the back row for Xu Yun.
This is definitely an unusual reuse for Xu Yun.
After Xu Yun got in the car, Lai Wen showed him an exquisite small wooden box: "How about it, it matches my jade thumb ring, it is of high quality."
These small wooden boxes are all inlaid with gold edges. Xu Yun nodded: "It's very tasteful."
"That's necessary." Lai Wen said, "That woman in Zhongyue is a very particular woman."
The car started, and after more than an hour of traffic jams, it finally stopped in the courtyard of a seemingly small restaurant.
I say it's a restaurant because it's so Chinese-style, with tall red lanterns and Chinese elements everywhere.
"We're here." Lai Wen glanced at Xu Yun: "This place is probably the most exquisite place to eat Chinese food in Yanjing City."
Xu Yun got out of the car and looked around. Just looking at the environment was enough to enjoy him.
Lai Wen motioned for Xu Yun to follow him, and walked through a long corridor with twists and turns before entering a single room.
There was no one in the room, so Lai Wen obviously did what he should do to entertain guests. He was one step ahead and prepared everything.
"Xu Yun, if you have eaten food from this place once, you will definitely not want to eat food from other places." Lai Wen smiled proudly: "Even a plate of stir-fried potato shreds here will definitely surprise you.
.”
Xu Yun saw a menu on the service table next to him, and he opened a page. It really surprised him.
A plate of fried shredded potatoes costs 19,988 yuan? Is this eating shredded potatoes or golden shreds?
There must be a limit to the exaggeration of prices, just like Qindao prawns, thirty-eight each. Although it is an exaggeration, there is a limit.
But this is shredded potatoes! A plate costs nearly 20,000 yuan, so doesn’t that mean a piece of shredded potatoes costs hundreds of yuan?
"Boss Lai, this is really a shady restaurant." Xu Yun frowned: "The customers who come here to eat are probably all here for the price, right? Are they really here for the food?"
"That's because you didn't eat it, so you think the price isn't worth it." Lai Wen said bluntly, "If you eat it, I promise you won't think so."
"I don't think it's worth it after eating it." Xu Yun said: "The price is too outrageous."
Lai Wen was still confident: "Do you want to know how these potato shreds are made?"
Xu Yun nodded: "I really want to know."
"But this potato has a great background. It is a rare potato grown on the French island of Noirmugé. The annual output of this potato is less than 100 tons. The potato is very, very soft and can only be collected by hand. This potato is very soft.
The price of growing potatoes is as high as five hundred euros per kilogram!" Lai Wen said seriously.
Xu Yun raised his eyebrows: "Boss Lai, are you kidding? Five hundred euros for one kilogram of potatoes?"
"That's right." Lai Wen said, "It's equal to three to four thousand yuan."
"Let's just call it golden beans." Xu Yun was speechless: "Then this plate of shredded potatoes is only two kilograms. The raw materials cost four thousand. If the chef gives you one thousand, then five thousand is a sky-high price."
"You haven't heard me finish yet. Although these potatoes are expensive, the fried shredded potatoes here only use the best part, and only half of a potato is used.
"Good guy... You can peel thick potatoes for four thousand yuan per pound?" Xu Yun really felt dumbfounded. Are rich people so extravagant?
Lai Wen waved his hand: "Each potato shred is of standard width and length, and is penetrated with fine wire, and then filled with white shrimp meat from Perth, Western Australia!"
Xu Yun was really convinced when he heard this and stared.
"Every potato shred is crystal clear inside, as if there are crystal pillars inside." Lai Wen said, "The taste is self-evident."
Xu Yun believes that one bite costs hundreds of dollars, right? The feeling must be self-evident.
Not to mention eating it, just looking at such a dish is really beautiful.
"How about it, do you think it's worth it now?" Lai Wen said.
Xu Yun nodded. He wouldn't ask any more questions about the rest of the dishes. Judging from the production process, they would definitely not be cheap.
Make the shrimp meat into a puree and pour it into the shredded potatoes. The hole is no thicker than a fishing line. This craftsmanship is also valuable.
At least Xu Yun couldn't do this kind of work, even if he was given 10,000 yuan, he couldn't do it.
"Boss Lai, is it necessary for us to be so extravagant?" Xu Yundao said.
"Of course, because Zhongyue pays attention to ostentation. If I don't give her a big pomp, maybe she will really break the appointment." Lai Wen said: "Zhongyue is still very busy, there are countless people almost every day
People want to treat her to dinner. Most things are beyond her eyes."
Xu Yun nodded: "That's right. If you let me eat a plate of shredded potatoes worth 20,000 yuan, I will no longer be interested in the shredded potatoes that cost 15 yuan a plate in street shops."
Lai Wen laughed: "So, I say these people are similar. We are all the same. Everyone likes luxury."
"What time was the appointment made?" Xu Yun asked.
Lai Wen looked at the valuable watch on his wrist: "Six o'clock, ten minutes left... If she doesn't come, it means we didn't catch her mentality. Zhongjiu is a very punctual person."
Xu Yun nodded: "Then wait for another ten minutes."
"Even if she doesn't come, I'll treat you to the shredded potatoes here today." Lai Wen laughed.
Xu Yun waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm afraid that if I eat the food here, I won't be able to eat anything else outside." Xu Yun said: "The food in the street shops is pretty good."
"Look what you said, if you follow me, will you be able to eat those things in the future?" Lai Wen glared: "People live to enjoy, so you just let go of the enjoyment, and I'm here."
Xu Yun laughed dryly: "Then thank you Boss Lai first."
