The nouveau riche were so happy with their food that they waved their hands generously and said, "Check out!"
Upon hearing the word "check out," the waiter immediately came over and said with a smile, "Sir, your spending this time is 8,128 yuan. Since your sexual consumption is quite high, we're offering you a discount. You only need to pay 8,000 yuan. Please follow me to the counter to check out!"
The upstart leader was enjoying his meal, looking quite proud. He was about to wave his hand and say "swipe the card" when he heard the price, but suddenly he was stunned. He widened his eyes and asked, "How much?"
The waiter smiled again and said, "Sir, your consumption this time is 8128 yuan, so you only need to pay 8,000 yuan this time!"
"Eight thousand? Are you sure it's RMB? Not Japanese Yen, Korean Won, Ruble or something like that?" The guys next to him also reacted and asked.
What kind of food is this restaurant selling? It's so expensive! Is this a scam?
The waiter frowned slightly, but still smiled and said, "All transactions in this store are in RMB. Foreign currencies are not allowed!"
"Fuck! Are you kidding me?" The nouveau riche was immediately upset after hearing this. Even if you have money, you shouldn't squander it like this. Eight thousand yuan is almost enough for a normal family to host several high-end banquets, and they spent more than eight thousand yuan just on this table of food?
"You dare charge me 8,000 for just these dishes? Are you running a shady place? What kind of star-rated hotel do you think this is? The prices are so high! I have plenty of money and I won't be ripped off! Find your boss, I want to ask how you run this place. Why is it so shady?"
The nouveau riche's roar silenced the entire noisy restaurant for a moment, then it became lively again with people whispering and talking about all kinds of things!
"Damn, look at this country bumpkin. He's already struggling to get 8,000 yuan, and he's still trying to act so high and mighty."
"Exactly. When he first arrived, he acted all arrogant and said, 'I'm rich, I can do whatever I want.' I thought he was so awesome! But in the end, he couldn't even come up with this little money?"
"He showed up all cocky and domineering, and even ordered the exquisite Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix! Is that something that just anyone can afford? He thought he was so awesome, but when it comes to the real thing, he's such a letdown."
"Exactly. After eating so many top-notch dishes, including a top-notch dish called Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix, it's only over 8,000 yuan. What a steal! He still thinks it's too expensive? If you think it's too expensive, then stop pretending to be so cool in the first place!"
"That's right. If you can get such a good meal for just a few hundred yuan, why would he be showing off? Who can't afford a few hundred yuan?"
"I was envious of that exquisite dish, Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix, but I didn't dare order it! I thought he must be rich if he ordered it! But he's being shameless at this time. What kind of character is he!"
…
There was a constant stream of discussion within the restaurant, but no one stood up to them. They said this restaurant was a scam and the food was too expensive. They all thought the delicious meal he ordered was worth the price. And they all despised the character of this upstart.
Even Feng Chuge, who had just finished eating and hadn't had time to pay, sneered and laughed, "What a nouveau riche! He's so unhappy with such a small amount of money, and he's still pretending to be upper-class! I'm almost dying of laughter! Look at which truly rich person nowadays has such an arrogant attitude like him, saying, 'I'm rich, I can do whatever I want.' He's just a clown!"
Liu Miaozi frowned slightly upon hearing this. Although she also despised this upstart from the bottom of her heart, she couldn't help but scold Feng Chuge softly after hearing him speak like this, especially the "awesome" words blurted out, "Just know it, a lady from a noble family should act like a lady from a noble family. Don't say anything! Act like a girl!"
Yu Wuwei, who was sitting in front of the counter, also heard the nouveau riche's roar and felt a little annoyed.
Damn it, if you don't have money, don't act like your dad is Li Gang! You've been acting so arrogant since the moment you walked in, why don't you just go to heaven?
However, as a restaurant owner, he still had to maintain his composure. With a polite smile, he walked over and said, "Sir, our store sells absolutely genuine goods at fair prices. We don't cheat anyone! You said before that you wanted only high-quality and expensive items."
"The prices are clearly stated on the menu, and you've tasted the food, so you should know if it's worth the price. You can't accuse us of ripping you off!"
As he said that, he took the menu from the waiter and handed it to the nouveau riche.
The upstart took the menu that Yu Wuwei handed over, opened it, and saw the bright, large words at the top of the first page. His head was stunned!
The exquisite dish "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" is 6888 yuan per plate.
Damn, such a dish is so damn expensive!
Looking down, the dishes he ate were all over a hundred yuan a plate, so all ten of them must have cost more than a thousand yuan!
The nouveau riche had a curse in his mind, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not. He had thought that since he had made a fortune recently, he would treat his buddies to a meal to show off!
A meal of more than ten dishes in a normal restaurant would only cost a few hundred yuan, or at most a thousand yuan, which he could definitely afford.
This is indeed the reality. If Chaoxianju had not launched its fine dishes, this table of food would have cost at most five or six hundred yuan.
However, the annoying thing is that Chaoxianju recently launched such a column of high-quality dishes, and each dish is seven or eight times, or even ten times more expensive than ordinary dishes.
What's even more annoying is that when I first came here, I wanted to show off my wealth and willfulness, and I pretended to be too much. I didn't even look at the menu and directly asked for the best and most expensive ones.
It's so embarrassing now. Although he has made some money recently, it's still really painful to spend 8,000 on a meal.
Finally, he looked at Yu Wuwei's face, which was smiling but not warm at all, and then looked at the crowd of onlookers who were filled with countless contemptuous eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Swipe the card!"
Only he himself knew that his teeth were chattering when he uttered these two words.
His heart was bleeding. Eight thousand yuan was gone just like that. He would probably have to kneel on the washboard when he got home!
Oh, no, now every household uses a washing machine and there is no washboard.
But kneeling on the keyboard is also uncomfortable!
Finally, under the contemptuous and gloating expressions of the people around him, and the gazes of several brothers behind him as if they were looking at the whistling wind and the cold Yi Shui, the nouveau riche old man tried to straighten his back and walked to the counter, took out his bank card from his wallet and handed it to the cashier Cai Zhenxiang.
Seeing this upstart swiping his card to pay, Yu Wuwei put on his standard smile and said, "Sir, you are indeed generous. Welcome to visit us next time!"
Nouveau riche: "Fuck you" is not enough to describe how I feel right now! Whoever comes, come. I'm definitely not coming. I'm so sad!
However, he was thinking that he couldn't lose face, so he shook his body, still holding his head high and chest out, as if to say: I'm not targeting anyone, I'm saying that everyone here is poor!
