"You're lucky. I'll let you go for now."
Ding Ning glanced at Li Boyang and muttered gloomily in his heart.
"Little Ding, I didn't expect you to have such good cooking skills. This taste is completely comparable to the food in the Pavilion in the Air."
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Governor Du was immediately tempted. After eating a mouthful of food, he closed his eyes with a face full of enjoyment and intoxication for a long time, and then said with admiration.
Du Mosheng nodded repeatedly to show her agreement. It was not that she didn't want to talk, but at this time her mouth was full of food and she had no time to talk. She had long forgotten the previous bet with Ding Ning.
Qiao Xinyu and Elder Sister Chen had even less time to talk. Like the reincarnation of hungry ghosts, their eyes were shining, and they kept stuffing food into their mouths, for fear that the food would be taken away by others if they were slow.
"Haha, it's just a casual dish. It's not bad."
Ding Ning said very indifferently, but his eyes looking at Du Mosheng were quite meaningful.
Li Boyang secretly scolded Ding Ning for being pretentious and kept stuffing food into his bowl with his chopsticks. It was not that he didn't want to show some backbone, but the food was so delicious that a weak-willed person like him, who liked ease and hated work, could not resist the temptation.
He dared to swear that this was absolutely the most delicious food he had ever eaten since he was a child.
However, this dish was made by Ding Ning, which made him feel very unhappy. He secretly remembered the name of the Pavilion in the Air and would definitely go to taste it when he had a chance.
Seeing that Li Boyang only cared about eating and had no intention of drinking, Governor Du could not help but shake his head with a wry smile and also joined the army of snatching food.
Although he was the Governor of Ninghai, he could not often eat such delicacies. No matter how high or low you were, everything had to follow the rule of first come, first served, and no one could have special privileges. Although he was the Governor of Ninghai, he could not eat such delicacies often.
Of course, he did not know that the Pavilion in the Air had a long-term private room reserved by Ding Ning. Otherwise, he would definitely laugh and scold Ding Ning for not giving him the privilege of not having to line up so that he could often go there to satisfy his craving.
The news that the Pavilion in the Air could apply for membership cards had spread, and Governor Du also wanted one very much. Unfortunately, as soon as he heard the news, it was announced that the first 36 membership cards had been sold out, which made him very regretful.
Although he knew that Ding Ning had a close relationship with the Pavilion in the Air, he was too embarrassed to ask Ding Ning to apply for a membership card through the back door.
Besides, even if he had the nerve to open his mouth, it would be a dilemma for the castle in the air. When the time came, would they accept his money or not?
If he accepted it, he would definitely feel uneasy. After all, he was the governor, and accepting his money would be inappropriate.
But if he didn't accept it, he would break the rules of the restaurant. Secondly, he was also worried that people would use it as a leverage and make it seem like a power-for-money deal, which would not be good for his official reputation.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he could only bear the pain and give up the thought of going to the Sky Pavilion often for a sumptuous meal.
In fact, Ding Ning had already considered giving Governor Du the privilege of not having to line up, but in that way, it would easily give people a feeling that he was currying favor with the rich and powerful, and it would also destroy the order that the Pavilion in the Air had painstakingly established, which was extremely disadvantageous to the future development of the restaurant.
But now, the situation was different. The Pavilion in the Air had begun to issue membership cards.
Although only 36 cards were sold in the first period, and it was difficult for outsiders to get a card, who was he? Even the Master Chef was his woman, so it was easy for him to get a membership card.
Moreover, in addition to the 36 ordinary membership cards, Luoxue specially prepared 10 supreme membership cards for him, which did not need to be recharged and could enjoy a 30% discount every time he spent in the Pavilion in the Air. These cards were specially used for him to do favors.
It should be known that ordinary membership cards did not have any discount, and they had to pay an annual fee every year. Even so, it was still difficult to get a card even though people were fighting for it.
However, the supreme membership cards were different. Not only did they not need to be recharged, but they were also exempted from the annual fee. More importantly, they could enjoy a 30% discount.
Of course, Luoxue was also well aware that the rarer something was, the more valuable it was. Therefore, each branch could only issue 36 ordinary membership cards at most, and there were always only 10 supreme membership cards.
This made the value of the supreme membership cards rise sharply, and their value doubled. Countless high-ranking officials, nobles, and rich businessmen tried their best to use their connections to do favors and were willing to pay a high price to buy a supreme membership card from the Master Chef.
Unfortunately, the Master Chef was stubborn and told them bluntly that the supreme membership cards were not for sale but for free. However, she could not decide who to give them to. Everything depended on the mood of the boss. Moreover, the identity of the holder of the supreme membership card was absolutely confidential and would not be disclosed to anyone.
Therefore, countless influential people went around to inquire about the behind-the-scenes boss of the Pavilion in the Air, hoping to get a supreme membership card through their connections.
However, the Pavilion in the Air had been run independently in the name of Luoxue since it was opened, and there was no information about Ding Ning at all. No matter what connections they used, they could not find out who the mysterious behind-the-scenes boss was.
This made them sigh with regret and could only give up the idea of the supreme membership card. They hoped that the Pavilion in the Air could open branches as soon as possible and try to get a few more ordinary membership cards.
When people reached a certain height, money was often just a number for them. They did not care how much money they spent. What they enjoyed was privileges and what they cared about was face. If they were not even members of the Pavilion in the Air, they would be embarrassed to say that they were in the upper class.
It had to be said that Xiaoyao's business acumen was really good. With her advice and operation, she took advantage of the psychology of the rich who wanted face and took the opportunity of applying for membership cards to directly raise the level of the Pavilion in the Air to the level of the top restaurant in Ninghai, making countless high-ranking officials, nobles, and rich businessmen flock to it.
The supreme membership card of the Pavilion in the Air had thus become a legend in the legend.
In the eyes of outsiders, the supreme membership card was something they could only hope for, but in Ding Ning's eyes, it was just a gift to please his prospective parents-in-law.
Of course, since Luoxue said that she would only apply for 10 supreme membership cards, Ding Ning would not give them away randomly. He only planned to give one to Qiao Xinyu, which was also his cleverness. After all, Governor Du's identity was special, and giving him one would always be suspected of colluding with officials and businessmen.
As for Du Mosheng, his woman was eating in his own restaurant. Why did he need a card? He just needed to show his face.
"Oh, it's time to play the news."
Just when everyone was stuffed with delicious food and was eating heartily, Governor Du looked at the time and suddenly screamed. He hurriedly stood up, picked up the remote control, and turned on the phone.
Ding Ning was shocked. "Oh, no! I forgot that Governor Du is in a high position and must have developed the habit of watching the news."
But now, it was too late to say anything. He could only hope that everyone was busy eating delicious food and had no time to watch TV.
"Give me another bowl of rice."
Governor Du finished the rice in two or three bites, stared at the TV without blinking, and handed the empty bowl to Qiao Xinyu.
Qiao Xinyu rolled her eyes. She was enjoying the food and was reluctant to leave the table. But in the presence of outsiders, she still had to protect her husband's face. She reluctantly reached out her left hand to take the bowl, and her right hand did not forget to put a piece of sweet and sour pork into her mouth.
"Let me do it."
Ding Ning tactfully grabbed the bowl and went to the kitchen to get some rice. It was not that he was diligent or wanted to curry favor with anyone, but that he had a guilty conscience. After all, the replaying of the news was the result of his secret operation, and avoiding it was also a subconscious behavior.
"How can I trouble you?" Qiao Xinyu said that, but she did not show any embarrassment on her face. She could eat without rice. After all, Ding Ning's cooking was so delicious. Anyway, she was reluctant to leave the table.
"We are all on the same side. Don't be so polite."
Ding Ning said casually.
"Yes, yes, we are all on the same side. Don't be so polite. Little Ding, right? Bring me a bowl by the way. This dish is really delicious."
Elder Sister Chen touched her round belly. Although she knew that she was full, she felt that she could eat another bowl, so she said with a dry smile.
"Okay, no problem."
Ding Ning agreed with a smile and took her empty bowl.
He turned to Du Mosheng and said, "Mosheng, I'll give you another bowl."
Du Mosheng looked at the delicious food on the table with a complicated look and said with some embarrassment, "Am I too much of an eater?"
"What are you afraid of? You can't afford to eat."
Ding Ning said with a smile, but his words had a hidden meaning.
Du Mosheng's face suddenly turned red. He glared at him with shame and spat softly, "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory."
"Auntie, Mosheng scolded me."
Ding Ning complained to Qiao Xinyu with a face full of grievances, which made Du Mosheng's eyes widen in disbelief. Was this guy a kindergarten child? He even knew how to act cute and snitch.
"Mosheng, how can you talk to your Brother Ning like that? This child really needs to be taught a lesson. "
Qiao Xinyu pretended to be angry and scolded him, but she was very happy in her heart. She thought that after they got married, she must live with them. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to eat the food made by her son-in-law every day.
"Yes, yes, a girl should be reserved. You have to pay attention to propriety when you act coquettishly with your boyfriend."
Elder Sister Chen's impression of Ding Ning was very good. She directly ignored the passerby, Li Boyang, and winked in agreement with an ambiguous face.
Du Mosheng's whole person was in a mess. This misunderstanding seemed to be getting deeper and deeper. Even Auntie Chen thought that Ding Ning was her boyfriend.
She stole a glance at Li Boyang, who had an ashen face and buried his head in eating without saying a word. She felt slightly guilty in her heart. This was her real boyfriend. Did mom and Auntie Chen go too far?
"No, Auntie Chen, he's not …"
Just when Du Mosheng decided to explain and not let Li Boyang be so embarrassed, Ding Ning suddenly interrupted her, "Mosheng, come here. I have something to say to you."
"What? What is it that you can't say here? "
Du Mosheng muttered with dissatisfaction, but her body was very disappointing. She stood up and was about to follow Ding Ning into the kitchen. Of course, she didn't forget to take her empty bowl and add a bowl of rice.
"Mosheng, help me add a bowl of rice while you're at it. Doctor Ding's cooking skills are really good. Even if I lose my job in the future, I won't starve to death as a nanny."
Li Boyang really couldn't bear it anymore. He handed the empty bowl to Du Mosheng with a gloomy face and sarcastically said.
"That's true. With my cooking skills, I won't be hungry no matter where I go. I don't need to rely on women to eat."
Ding Ning wasn't annoyed and replied calmly.
Li Boyang trembled all over. Rely on women to eat? These words immediately hit the most sensitive place in his heart. He stared at Ding Ning guiltily. Did he know something? No, no, it should be just a coincidence, a coincidence.
Du Mosheng felt a little inexplicable, but she could feel the strong smell of gunpowder between the two of them. Thinking that Li Boyang was still her boyfriend, in order to protect his face, she reached out and took his empty bowl.
