Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 308 A pair of clever ghosts

Speaking of the master chefs in our cuisine, Master Li ranks second, and no one dares to rank first.

It is no exaggeration to say that Master Li is definitely a national treasure-level top chef.

In his previous life, Li Weidong didn't have the opportunity to taste Master Li's cooking skills. He even tasted the skills of Master Li's apprentice. He had to work with business bosses to taste it.

Now that he knows that Master Li has not retired, Li Weidong certainly cannot miss this opportunity and must taste Master Li's superb cooking skills.

One of Master Li's best dishes is shrimp and black ginseng, which is also a traditional famous dish in our cuisine.

If you want to make this dish well, you must not only pay attention to the seasoning ratio, but also the heat. If the seasoning ratio is deviated, and the heat is too high or too low, the best taste will not be produced.

Of course, if Master Li were to take action in person, he would either have a prominent status or have to pay extra money.

Neither Cao Kenan, the engineer, nor Cao Yi, the section chief of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, obviously have prominent status. As for Zhou Yunsheng and Su Qian, although they are Taiwan compatriots, they are not enough for Master Li to personally take action.

So in the end, we still have to rely on service fees to allow Master Li to cook in person.

For Li Weidong, being able to eat the shrimp and black ginseng made by Master Li himself was already a worthwhile trip. As for the service fee, it was not something Li Weidong considered at all, and he didn't even bother to ask.

When rich people eat, how can they ask about the price?

However, Cao Kenan opposite, felt extremely bitter in his heart. Although he had never eaten the shrimp and black ginseng made by Master Li, as an engineer, he had seen some things in the world, and he knew that hiring such a master would definitely cost a lot of money.

The so-called service fee may be more expensive than the dish fee.

Cao Kenan really wanted to ask how much the extra service charge was. Li Weidong had already ordered the dishes. Wouldn't it be very shameful to ask the price at this time?

At this time, Cao Kenan was in trouble and couldn't tell. On the surface, he had to pretend to be generous, but in his heart, he thought: Where did this prodigal nephew come from? How could he only order expensive special dishes?

That’s all, I want Master Li to cook in person!

Cao Kenan subconsciously touched the fanny pack in his pocket, secretly wondering if he should take advantage of the opportunity of urinary escape to go home and get his bankbook, and then quickly go to the bank to withdraw some money.

However, at this time, the waiter said again: "Our shrimp and black ginseng are charged by the portion. Is it one portion per person here?"

Upon hearing that he was being charged by the portion, Cao Kenan immediately said, "I don't want it anymore, I'm allergic to shrimp!"

Cao Yi also saw his father's desire to save money and immediately said, "I inherited my father's allergy to shrimp!"

Cao Yi said and looked at Cao Kenan, as if to say, Dad, you see my ability to adapt to changes is not bad!

Cao Kenan also looked at Cao Yi, with a hint of praise in his eyes, as if to say, he is indeed my son, he knows how to help daddy save money, we father and son are really a smart pair!

Li Weidong made an annoyed expression: "If I had known that Uncle Cao was allergic to shrimp, I shouldn't have ordered the braised prawn dish! It's good now. When the dish comes, Uncle Cao can't eat it either."

"It's okay to eat shrimp, but you can't eat shrimp! I'm not allergic to prawns." Cao Kenan quickly explained.

Braised prawns are not charged according to the portion, so if you don’t eat it, you will be losing a lot!

Li Weidong nodded suddenly: "Okay, let's tell the kitchen that the braised prawns must be male! The male ones have no shrimp."

…

After a while, the restaurant began to serve dishes, and the shrimp and black ginseng dish cooked by Master Li himself was naturally served as the finale.

Every dish is delicious, and it is indeed the most authentic local cuisine.

However, what makes Cao Ke unpalatable is that it is tasteless.

This is not river eel, not buckwheat, not prawn, not quail, not pomfret... This is all the money I, Cao Kenan, have worked so hard to save!

At this time, Cao Kenan was full of regrets. Why should he pretend to be free? If he wanted to pretend, he should do something that didn't cost money. Why did he have to choose a place to eat?

I opened my mouth to order whatever I wanted, but in the end, I actually ordered whatever I wanted!

By the way, you, a prodigal nephew, can’t you tell that I’m speaking politely? I asked you to order whatever you want, but you really ordered whatever you wanted. Even Master Li was invited out! You can’t learn from your father and also order a little bit.

You're welcome?

Cao Kenan thought of this and looked at Li Weidong inadvertently, only to find that Li Weidong had already finished his portion of shrimp and black ginseng, then stood up and said softly, "Go to the bathroom!"

"It's good for you. It's just enough to eat and drink well. You also have to zip up your pants! Pity my wallet. I'm going to be eating pickles next month." Cao Kenan couldn't help but scream in his heart.

Cao Ke was not happy with this meal. Every time he put down his chopsticks, he felt pain in his body.

Finally, everyone was full of wine and food, and Cao Kenan got up to pay.

Cao Kenan walked to the front desk and said, "Comrade, let's settle the score! It's in private room 307."

The front desk person looked at the list in his hand and said, "The bill for private room 307 has been paid."

"Has the account been settled? Who settled it?" Cao Kenan asked subconsciously.

"A young guy!" the front desk clerk replied.

"Young guy, could it be that our Cao Yi came to settle the bill? Hey, this kid's usual salary is only that much. This meal probably cost him several months' salary!" Cao Kenan thought to himself.

The waiter at the front desk continued: "The young man is in his early twenties, tall, energetic, wearing a shirt, speaks Mandarin, and uses a credit card..."

The front desk clerk began to describe the other person's appearance.

When Cao Kenan heard this, he was definitely not talking about his son Cao Yi. First of all, Cao Yi was not in his early twenties, he was almost thirty years old. Secondly, although Cao Yi was about 1.7 meters tall, he was not as tall as the three "big tall guys".

The words have nothing to do with each other.

Third, if Cao Yi comes to settle the bill, he will definitely speak dialect. In his own city, there is no need to speak Mandarin. Those who speak Mandarin are usually outsiders.

The most critical point is that Cao Yi does not have a credit card!

In the future, banks will beg customers to apply for credit cards. In 1991, credit cards can be said to be a status symbol. It is impossible for ordinary people to apply for credit cards. Only the so-called "successful people" are eligible.

Apply for a credit card.

Of course, in that era, credit cards could not be swiped casually. Only big merchants in big cities had credit card swiping machines.

The next second, Cao Kenan suddenly realized that the young man the waiter was talking about was Li Weidong!

Li Weidong was 1.8 meters tall, which was considered a tall man at the time. Moreover, Li Weidong spoke Mandarin when he went out, and he was worried that others would not be able to understand him when he spoke in dialect.

Li Weidong is a VIP member of the bank. Of course he has a credit card, but this is of no use in Qinghe because there is basically no place where you can swipe your card.

However, if you go on a business trip to a big city, it will be more convenient to have a credit card in hand, go in and out of some high-end places, discuss business with customers, and make payments, and it will also look very stylish.

Thinking that Li Weidong had just gone to the restroom, Cao Kenan finally understood that what Li Weidong called "going to the restroom" was actually coming out to pay.

"Oh, this eldest nephew actually helped me settle the bill. I didn't realize that this eldest nephew is quite sensible!" Cao Kenan suddenly felt much better.

After eating such an expensive meal, Cao Kenan was already planning to bleed a lot. Now he didn't have to pay a penny. Instead, someone paid the bill for him. This saved a lot of money!

The next second, Cao Kenan suddenly realized something.

"Oh, if I had known that someone was paying the bill, I wouldn't have said that I was allergic to shrimp. The shrimp and black ginseng made by Master Li himself is something I will never eat once in my life. I missed it out of nowhere! I spent so much money on it.

What a thought, it actually helps others save money! My shrimps and black ginseng!"

Cao Kenan suddenly looked like he was about to cry without tears. His feeling of relief just now suddenly turned into frustration.
