After Xu Yun returned to his room, he actually wanted to take this opportunity to report to the Dragon Brigade. After all, he had returned to Yanjing and wanted to see Yu Meiren.
When he left, he didn't say goodbye. Xu Yun felt apologetic that he didn't go and see her now.
However, Xu Yun was worried that his whereabouts would be exposed. If Lai Wen knew his identity at this time, then all his efforts would be in vain.
Therefore, Xu Yun couldn't act rashly. He could only endure the emptiness and loneliness in his heart and watch TV in the hotel. He watched for the whole morning, and Lai Wen didn't contact him until noon.
However, lunch was prepared and directly sent in by the room service. Steak, thick soup, and egg fried rice. This combination looked very appetizing.
Xu Yun knew what Lai Wen meant. He didn't want him to leave and asked him to wait for news at any time.
Xu Yun directly ate in the room and began to watch TV again. He watched for the whole afternoon until his eyes hurt. Lai Wen arranged for someone to knock on his door.
Xu Yun opened the door and saw that it was the room service staff. "Hello, sir. Mr. Lai is already waiting for you in the car downstairs. Please go down."
"En, got it." Xu Yun nodded and walked directly to the elevator.
It seemed that Zhong Jiu Yue wasn't a good person to make an appointment with. Lai Wen took such a good "bait" and still took a day to make an appointment.
When Xu Yun came downstairs, Lai Wen's car was already parked in front of the hotel.
Xu Yun wanted to go to the front passenger seat, but he found that the front passenger seat was already occupied. Lai Wen actually left the other seat in the back for Xu Yun.
This was definitely not an ordinary use for Xu Yun.
After Xu Yun got in the car, Lai Wen showed him a small exquisite wooden box. "How is it? This is matched with my jade thumb ring. It's classy enough, right?"
This small wooden box was inlaid with gold. Xu Yun nodded. "Very classy."
"That's a must." Lai Wen said, "Zhong Jiu Yue is a very particular woman."
After more than an hour of traffic jams, the car finally stopped in the courtyard of a restaurant that didn't look big.
It was called a restaurant because this place was too Chinese-style. Big red lanterns were hung high, and Hua Xia elements were everywhere.
"We're here." Lai Wen looked at Xu Yun: "This place is probably the most particular place to eat Hua Xia food in Beijing."
Xu Yun got out of the car and looked around. Just looking at the environment was enjoyable enough.
Lai Wen motioned for Xu Yun to follow behind him. After passing through a long corridor with many twists and turns, they entered a single room.
There was no one in the room. Lai Wen obviously did what he should do as a guest. He arrived first and prepared everything.
"Xu Yun, if you eat the food here once, you definitely won't want to eat the food from other places." Lai Wen smiled proudly. "Even if it's a plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes here, it will definitely surprise you."
Xu Yun saw a menu on the service table at the side. He casually opened a page, and it was indeed enough to surprise him.
A plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes costs 19,988 yuan? Is this eating shredded potatoes or golden shredded potatoes?!
Even if the price is exaggerated, there should be a limit. Just like the Qingdao prawns, thirty-eight yuan. Although it's exaggerated, there is still a limit.
But this is shredded potatoes! A plate of shredded potatoes costs nearly 20,000 yuan. Isn't that equivalent to hundreds of yuan?!
"Boss Lai, this is really a black shop." Xu Yun frowned. "The customers who come here to eat are probably here to eat at this price, right? Are they really here to eat? "
"That's because you haven't eaten yet, so you don't think the price is worth it." Lai Wen said bluntly, "If you eat, I promise you won't think so."
"I won't think it's worth it even if I eat it." Xu Yun said, "This price is too unreasonable."
Lai Wen was still confident. "Do you want to know how the shredded potatoes are made?"
Xu Yun nodded. "I really want to know."
"It's just that this potato has a great origin. It's a rare type of potato grown on the French island of Noirmouge. The annual output of this type of potato is less than 100 tons. The potatoes are very, very soft, and can only be harvested by hand. The price of this type of potato is as high as 500 euros per kilogram! "Lai Wen said seriously.
Xu Yun raised his eyebrows. "Boss Lai, you're not joking, right? 500 euros per kilogram of potatoes? "
"Yes." Lai Wen said, "It's equivalent to three to four thousand yuan."
"Just call it golden beans." Xu Yun was speechless. "Then this plate of shredded potatoes is only one kilogram. The price of the raw materials is 4,000 yuan. The chef is awesome and gives 1,000 yuan. That 5,000 yuan is already a sky-high price."
"You haven't finished listening to me. Although this potato is expensive, the stir-fried shredded potatoes here only use the best part of it. One potato only uses half of it.
"My goodness … Four thousand yuan per kilogram of potatoes is also thick-skinned?" Xu Yun really had a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Are rich people so extravagant?
Lai Wen waved his hand. "Every shredded potato has a standard width and length. The inside has to be pierced with a thin wire, and then the white shrimp meat from Pace, Western Australia is poured in!"
Xu Yun was really convinced when he heard this. He stared.
"Every shredded potato is crystal clear inside, as if there is a crystal pillar inside." Lai Wen said, "The taste is self-evident."
Xu Yun believed this sentence. One bite would cost a few hundred yuan, right? The feeling was self-evident.
Not to mention eating, just looking at such a dish was really beautiful enough.
"How is it? Do you think it's worth it now?" Lai Wen said.
Xu Yun nodded. He wouldn't ask more about the rest of the dishes. He just looked at the cooking process. It definitely wouldn't be cheap.
Mash the shrimp meat and pour it into the shredded potatoes. The hole was not even as thick as a fishing line. This craftsmanship was also valuable.
At least Xu Yun couldn't do this kind of work. He couldn't do it even if he was given ten thousand yuan.
"Boss Lai, is it necessary for us to be so extravagant?" Xu Yun said.
"Of course, because mid-September is very ostentatious. If I don't give her a big show, maybe she will really miss the appointment." Lai Wen said, "Mid-September is still very busy. Almost every day, there are countless people who want to invite her to dinner. Ordinary things can't enter her eyes. "
Xu Yun nodded. "That's right. Let me eat twenty thousand yuan a plate of shredded potatoes. In the future, I won't be interested in the fifteen yuan a plate of shredded potatoes in a small shop on the street."
Lai Wen laughed. "So, I said that people are the same. Everyone is the same. Everyone likes to be extravagant."
"What time is the appointment?" Xu Yun asked.
Lai Wen looked at the expensive watch on his wrist. "Six o 'clock, there are still ten minutes … If she doesn't come, it means that we didn't grasp her mentality. Mid-September is a very punctual person. "
Xu Yun nodded. "Then let's wait for another ten minutes."
"Even if she doesn't come, I'll invite you to try 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 other things in the future." Xu Yun: "The food in the small shop on the street is pretty good."
"Look at what you said. If you follow me, can you still eat those things in the future?" Lai Wen stared. "People live to enjoy. You can go and enjoy. I'm here."
Xu Yun laughed. "Thank you, Boss Lai."
