Chapter 289 The only way to compete with Sanfu is hotpot
Ye Xiaomei was also stunned. What was Li Yao trying to do?
But seeing everyone at the table looking at her in amazement, Ye Xiaomei felt relieved and went back to add chicken legs to Li Yao's meal.
Li Xiaochun's jaw dropped, and in an instant, everyone understood what was going on.
Someone even leaned over to whisper in Li Xiaochun's ear: "Could it be that she really knows the owner of the Tang family residence?"
When Li Xiaochun thought of this and then looked at Manager Li picking up dishes for her one by one, she felt like a landmine had exploded in her heart.
"Miss Ye, this dish was also a favorite of the emperor back then, called Pearl Curtain Jade, but our boss changed its name to Canghai Forgotten Pearl."
Li Yaosheng filled a small bowl of sweet soup and introduced it: "The pearls here are made from Suli chicken head rice, all picked and shelled by hand, and they are worth a thousand or two thousand gold."
Li Xiaochun narrowed his eyes and his face gradually turned pale: "Aren't you a manager? Why are you doing the work of serving others?"
"Yeah." People around started talking.
The male students at the next table were so shocked that their jaws dropped. They forgot to drink and all looked over.
Li Yao's acting skills were definitely on point, and he quickly put on a smile and said:
"Our master has told us to take good care of this little sister."
"Sister?" Li Xiaochun's pupils shrank, and she stood up involuntarily, but only halfway up. She sat down again awkwardly:
"So she's Boss Tang's sister. This is the first time I've heard of her."
Ye Xiaomei couldn't help but let Li Yao feed her spoonful by spoonful. This must have been arranged by Tang Bushi. It was a pity that a big boss like him could come up with such a plan.
With an awkward smile, he acted along with Li Yao: "How is my brother doing lately? Tell him I'll visit him at the Tang family residence some other day."
Li Yao laughed and said, "You can go anytime. We can pick you up and drop you off anytime."
Now, everyone at the table looked at each other, and even their eyes towards Ye Xiaomei softened.
Wow, Ye Xiaomei actually has such a well-hidden wealthy brother. There was a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
A lot of drama was running through Ye Xiaomei's mind. Why was she acting so unpredictable in front of all her classmates?
"I'll do it myself, you go and do your own thing." Ye Xiaomei really wasn't used to being surrounded by outsiders while eating. She snatched the bowl from Li Yao's hand and started drinking. It was not satisfying to drink with a spoon.
Li Yao also understood: "Then Miss Ye, please enjoy your time. If you need anything, please call me anytime."
Oh my god! Ye Xiaomei got goosebumps all over her back when she saw Li Yao bow before leaving.
The waitress next to her covered her mouth subconsciously. She must remember this face well and be more polite next time she comes.
"Ye Xiaomei, when did you become Boss Tang's sister?" Li Xiaochun looked at Ye Xiaomei suspiciously with his eyes slanted, and even wanted to find some clues from her eyes.
"It's very early." Ye Xiaomei didn't say much, thinking to herself, I'll find an excuse to leave later.
She had to ask Tang Buci what he was doing.
"Then why haven't you mentioned it before?"
"That's right. We are classmates, but you are really good at hiding it."
The other female classmates followed suit.
Li Xiaochun's face turned pale and blue. She deliberately asked her mother for money to treat her classmates to a meal, just to build relationships.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaomei would become so prominent. In her words, Ye Xiaomei was so pretentious on purpose. She might have come here alone to eat on purpose to slap her in the face.
Ye Xiaomei said with a stiff upper lip: "What's there to say? But Shang Zhen also knows about it. She also often goes to the Tang family residence with me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the girl who had whispered in his ear before suddenly became jealous and embarrassed.
Li Xiaochun had no appetite at all: "Waiter, check out."
Soon, the waiter came over with a calculator and started to operate it:
"The total is NT$67,280. If you spend over NT$300, you can get a free iron pot stewed goose. I'll ask the chef to pack it for you."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. They were so scared that they couldn't make a sound and just stared at Li Xiaochun.
You should know that tens of thousands of yuan in cash may very well be the income of the students' families for two years. The poorer students may only have fifty yuan a month for living expenses.
Li Xiaochun was petrified: "How can it be so expensive?" She didn't care about her face anymore, snatched the menu from the waiter, and stared at it:
"Two hundred and seventy for a pig's elbow...?"
As soon as this was said, the female students at the table all whispered awkwardly: "Li Xiaochun can't come up with the money, right?"
Someone else suggested: "Isn't Mr. Tang's sister here? Let her talk and it will definitely be much cheaper."
I don't know who said this, but when Li Xiaochun heard it, it was like an embroidery needle was drilled into his ear:
"Need not."
She pulled out a chair domineeringly and followed the waiter downstairs.
The people at the table were not restless at first, but after waiting for a long time, when all the food on the table was left with only soup, some people began to get restless.
Looking downstairs, they saw Li Xiaochun holding the front desk landline and anxiously dialing a number.
Not sure if no one answered or what, she called several times.
Ye Xiaomei was too lazy to wait, so she got up and left the hotel on her own.
Li Xiaochun stamped his feet in anger as he looked at her back.
As soon as he got on the van, Tang picked his earwax without saying anything:
"How is it? The arrangement is not bad, isn't it? I think you have given me enough face."
Ye Xiaomei closed the car door with a huff: "Not bad, I almost couldn't handle it."
Tang Buci raised his lips and smiled wickedly: "People always have a soft spot for superficial vanity, but their hearts are empty. Although this trick is simple, it is also heart-killing."
Ye Xiaomei knew that he had arranged this: "It is indeed very heartbreaking."
"To deal with jealous people, you have to learn to pretend. To deal with loyal people, you have to learn to help them when they are in trouble. This is the way to take advantage of human nature. If you learn it well, you can solve the problem without spending a single soldier or losing a penny."
Tang Buci began to educate Ye Xiaomei like an older brother.
"Oh, you understand human nature so well?" Ye Xiaomei couldn't help but admire him. Although he was a little weird sometimes, his methods were indeed the simplest and most effective:
"What kind of humanity am I?"
"You are inhuman."
"What do you mean?"
"It's meaningless. People's weaknesses are nothing more than a few things: greed, lust, status, loyalty, etc. You don't have any of them very obvious, so I think you should be an idealist, and I am a materialist."
After Tang Buci's analysis, Ye Xiaomei curled her lips:
"You compare greed to materialism. You are the only one who can compare greed to materialism."
"That's wrong." Tang Buci immediately retorted: "A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. I wasn't greedy, I was being righteous."
"Triple the price of vegetables and call that righteous?"
"Who asked her to offend me? What's wrong with me exchanging my face for money? I don't care about my face anymore, so it's not too much to exchange it for a few dollars." Seeing Ye Xiaomei's sarcasm, Tang Buci laughed and added:
"You can simply understand that my three views are determined by me."
Ye Xiaomei frowned suddenly. It was not that she disagreed with everyone's way of life. Tang Bushi also had his own way of life. It was just that as for such a shameless person, Ye Xiaomei really had to put in some effort to plan for the future competition between hotels.
During the weekends off, apart from taking care of the dumpling restaurant business, Ye Xiaomei spends the rest of her time researching the characteristics of the restaurant.
She couldn't match Tang Buci's wealth, nor could she match the fame of the Tang family's house, but if she wanted to stand out from the crowd, she had to reduce costs to have a chance.
On Monday, Ye Xiaomei went to the school dormitory early to find Shang Zhen.
"What? Hot pot?" Shang Zhen was originally half asleep, but he jumped up when he heard this.
"Well, let's call it Four Happiness Number One Hotpot." In terms of fame, Ye Xiaomei is definitely not as famous as Tang Jiazhai. The only small fame she has is that of the number one scholar.
