Shut up, I am really a pure love god of war!

Chapter 215 I’m in a difficult situation!
The group turned out of the alley.

During the whole time, Zhuang Wensheng never stopped talking. He was either talking about his glorious history when he was repeating a grade, or teaching everyone what to pay attention to in the art school entrance examination. Even Zeng Jianeng, who is usually quite talkative, had trouble getting a word in.

There was no atmosphere of traveling with friends at all, and Songzhuang is a quiet little place. After walking around for ten minutes or so, everyone felt bored.

So the dinner session was moved forward, and Zhuang Wensheng took everyone to the door of a Shaxian snack bar.

"Is this the best restaurant in Songzhuang that you mentioned?"

Zeng Jianeng was stunned: "Shaxian snacks?"

"Songzhuang is a small place, and the capital is a food desert. The taste of other restaurants cannot compare to Shaxian snacks." Zhuang Wensheng quickly explained: "Don't underestimate Shaxian snacks. They have opened so many stores across the country, so of course they are very good."

Zeng Jianeng looked towards Bai Yang.

"I seem to have passed by a big hotel just now. The decoration is pretty good." Bai Yang said.

"No." Zhuang Wensheng said quickly, "You mean the Meilan Hotel? I've been there before, it's expensive and tastes terrible. Can you believe that a plate of vegetables costs over 30 yuan? They're all trying to rip off the rich. Anyone who goes there is an idiot!"

"Listen to my advice. You may have a lot of living expenses, but you are still a student after all. You are spending your parents' hard-earned money. Save as much as you can and don't be extravagant."

Bai Yang just smiled, not even bothering to show off, and replied casually, "Brother Zhuang is right, but since this is our first meal in the capital, I think it's better to be formal."

Then he looked at Chun Yuwan and said with a smile: "What do you think?"

"I'll listen to you." Chun Yuwan said seriously.

"Let's go." Bai Yang, Zeng Jianeng and Chen Chen waved their hands, and the four of them walked back.

Zhuang Wensheng felt a little embarrassed, but the other party had sufficient reasons and he really couldn't think of any words to persuade him again. He stood there hesitating for a while, but finally quickened his pace to catch up.

"Brother Bai, we agreed that I would treat you, but you changed the venue..." He looked embarrassed and whispered, "It's difficult for me to deal with this."

"Difficult to do?"

Bai Yang raised his eyebrows: "Brother Zhuang, why do you say that? No one forced you to treat us. Wasn't it you who always suggested it?"

"This——" Zhuang Wensheng opened his mouth.

I just want you to give me a way out. Can't you hear the implicit meaning? Why are you still putting it on the spot?
It turns out that you are still young and your emotional intelligence is too low.

"I'm not talking about treating you. Money is a small issue. What I mean is that it will be difficult if we don't have good restaurants to eat at." Zhuang Wensheng said, "After all, I brought you out here. I have to ensure everyone has a good experience."

"Brother Zhuang, don't worry about that." Bai Yang said with a smile, "No matter what, it's better than the experience of Shaxian snacks."

When he arrived at the entrance of Meilan Hotel, the two stone lions and the ornately decorated doorhead began to make Zhuang Wensheng feel daunted. He had indeed been here before, but only when he came here to celebrate the banquet with his studio teacher. When he ordered the dishes, he took a look at the menu and did not dare to look at it any further.

But at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and put on a familiar expression: "I'm telling you, these are all gimmicks, just to sell the dishes at a higher price. Food that costs more than ten yuan outside has to be sold for thirty or forty because of these decorations, and the taste may not even be good."

"It's meaningless and meaningless."

Bai Yang just smiled and entered the restaurant, where he was greeted by a waiter.

"Is there a private room?" Bai Yang asked.

"Some VIPs." The waiter raised his hand: "This way, please."

"Hey, do you need to pay for the private room?" Zhuang Wensheng asked quickly. The waiter glanced at him, stared at his jeans that were already covered with paint, and still had a polite expression on his face: "VIPs who don't need it, just need to spend a certain amount of money."

"Is this the so-called minimum consumption?" Zhuang Wensheng coughed lightly: "Brother Bai, I think it's actually quite good to sit in the lobby -"

Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, Bai Yang had already dived into the box.

The rest naturally followed.

They sat down one by one. Zhuang Wensheng originally wanted to sit next to Chun Yuwan, but unfortunately Chun Yuwan had just sat down next to Bai Yang, and Zeng Jianeng also sat over there. He could only sit next to Bai Yang and raised his hand: "Waiter, menu."

Without his instructions, the other party came over with several menus.

Zhuang Wensheng flipped through the first page of recommended dishes and couldn't help but gasp: "What the hell costs 988 yuan?"

"Dear guest, this is our specialty, abalone stewed with native chicken. It is made of the best ingredients, and our chef is also from——"

"Okay, okay." Zhuang Wensheng interrupted him directly: "I'm not used to eating abalone. What's the point of eating seafood?"

He flipped back, becoming more and more frightened. Finally, he turned to the last few pages and saw the vegetables with double-digit prices. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiaodi Bai, I think eating some vegetarian food is good for your health."

"Brother Zhuang is right." Bai Yang said to the waiter, "Bring us some stir-fried seasonal vegetables."

Then he turned to the front: "I'll have one serving of abalone stewed with chicken. This rich and powerful dish sounds interesting. I'll have one serving. And this boiled cabbage. Does your family also cook Sichuan cuisine? We just need a soup. I'll have one serving too."

"Brother Zhuang, is there anything else you want to eat?"

Zhuang Wensheng was busy looking up the prices of the dishes that Bai Yang had just ordered. He felt so heartbroken that his expression was distorted.

"That's enough. That's enough. How about we go to another place? I know another restaurant that has really good food."

"Since we're here," Bai Yang said a classic quote that no one could refuse, and then he muttered, "These are only four dishes. Five people must order at least five dishes."

He flipped through the menu again, then raised his eyebrows: "What about steamed yellow croaker? Wild?"

"Please rest assured, VIP, this is absolutely wild."

"One." Bai Yang waved his hand and asked Zhuang Wensheng, "What kind of wine does Zhuang like to drink? Red or white? How about a bottle of Maotai?"

“No, no!” Zhuang Wensheng waved his hands frantically: “Today is only the first day of school, how can you drink?”

Moutai? Can normal people afford to drink wine worth thousands of yuan?
He turned to the page about yellow croaker, and the words "current price" made him feel a little relieved. It couldn't be more expensive than the abalone or something mentioned above, right?
"That's fine." Bai Yang nodded with some regret: "It's true that it's not easy to drink on the first day. Next time, I'll treat Brother Zhuang."

Only then did he put down the menu.

Chun Yuwan, who was standing next to him, didn't say anything until Bai Yang finished ordering. Then she sneaked over, leaned close to Bai Yang's ear, and whispered, "Isn't that too much?"

"Have it?"

Bai Yang looked innocent: "This is not the first meal, we have to eat something good!"

"Don't worry, Brother Zhuang said, eat as much as you want!"
