I've been possessed by a culinary genius, and I've turned Shaxian snacks into a rip-off!

At 5:30 p.m., Grandpa Huo Wang appeared at the entrance of Shaxian Snacks.

Just like the day he came to try the braised pork last time, he was still wearing a clean Zhongshan suit, looking energetic and all smiles.

It's clear that he takes this meal very seriously.

A large family followed behind him.

Li Zhibai came out of the shop to greet them, silently counting the number of people in his mind. Including Uncle Huo, there were eight people in total. He originally thought that a wealthy man like Uncle Huo, whose net worth was over 100 million, would have at least a dozen or twenty people at his family banquet, but there were fewer than he had imagined.

The "Choose Your Dish Based on Its Value" talent is activated, and the family's wealth instantly appears above their heads.

Gold, gold, gold; purple, purple, purple; blue, blue...

???

Li Zhibai's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Good heavens, the Golden Legend includes three old men, and even the two little brats are blue! This family's wealth is terrifying.

No wonder they're descendants of Grandpa Huo; the whole family are walking ATMs.

For the first time, Li Zhibai felt that his menu pricing was a bit too cheap. For such a wealthy family gathering, one luxurious family bucket per person was not enough. A meal should cost several million to match their status.

"Welcome! Welcome Mr. Huo and his family to our restaurant!"

Huo Wang walked at the front, smiling broadly, and said, "Young boss, you'd better bring out all your best dishes today so that we kids can have a good taste."

"Don't worry, sir, everything will be arranged perfectly."

While inviting the whole family to sit down, Li Zhibai observed Grandpa Huo's children and grandchildren.

Walking behind Mr. Huo was his eldest daughter, who looked to be around forty years old. She was wearing a black suit, had short hair that reached her ears, and wore black-rimmed glasses. She looked like the kind of decisive and capable career woman.

Li Zhibai's "reading the menu" skill indicates that he is a senior partner at a well-known domestic law firm.

Although Li Zhibai didn't know much about the legal profession, he knew that becoming a senior partner at a well-known law firm must be impressive.

No wonder their wealth is golden.

He wondered if Attorney Huo's fees were expensive. He just remembered that he had a case to resolve and wondered if he could consult with him after dinner.

Standing next to Grandpa Huo's eldest daughter was her son, a boy who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old and had a somewhat rebellious air.

The young man was dressed in a very trendy style, wearing a streetwear hoodie and headphones. He never looked up from the moment he entered, constantly scrolling through his phone.

Mr. Huo's eldest son is a middle-aged man in his late fifties named Huo Junhui. He is the Vice President of R&D for the Asia-Pacific region of a multinational pharmaceutical group, and his wealth is considerable.

The R&D vice president of a multinational pharmaceutical company, an executive of that level, probably earns more than that lawyer sister with his annual salary and stock options.

Huo Junhui is accompanied by his wife, son, and daughter.

The son is in his twenties and the daughter is fifteen or sixteen. They dress quite conservatively, unlike that trendy teenager who is so flamboyant.

Mr. Huo's youngest son was the last to enter, and also the youngest-looking of the three Huo siblings. Also in his thirties, he dressed somewhat flamboyantly and wore an expensive watch.

This guy is a designer, and the only one among Mr. Huo's three children with purple wealth, and he's still unmarried.

Overall, this family's lineup is already quite formidable.

The eldest daughter is a top lawyer, the eldest son is a senior executive at a pharmaceutical company, and the youngest son is a designer.

This configuration would be the standard template for a wealthy family in a novel.

No wonder Mr. Huo is so calm with 50 million in savings and two shops in Financial Street. Any one of his three children is a social elite and he doesn't lack money at all.

The whole family sat down one after another at the large table that had been put together.

Grandpa Huo sat in the main seat, looking at his children and grandchildren sitting around him, his face full of smiles.

"Okay, okay, everyone's here. It's been a long time since the whole family has sat down together for a meal like this."

Huo Junmin sat to her father's left, subtly surveying the shop's surroundings, her brows furrowing slightly.

Judging from the environment, this restaurant doesn't seem like a suitable place for family gatherings.

The environment was extremely rudimentary.

Today is her mother's birthday. Her father specially invited them back from home and abroad to have a family meal together. She thought her father would choose a decent restaurant, but she didn't expect it to be this kind of place.

Huo Junhui also noticed his sister's expression, and shook his head slightly at her, signaling her not to say anything more.

My father is getting old, so let them eat at Shaxian Restaurant if they want. The most important thing is that the elderly are happy.

Huo Junsu was the most curious about this Shaxian snack among the three. After looking around the store, he smiled and said, "The old man is still so down-to-earth. He actually brought us to such an inexpensive Shaxian snack today. Well, let's just consider it an experience."

"Grandpa, the menu here is so strange."

Huo Junhui's daughter, Huo Xiaoxi, pointed to the wooden sign on the wall and suddenly asked, "Why is this braised pork 99 yuan a piece? Are braised pork at Shaxian Snacks sold by the piece now?"

Her question finally drew the attention of the Huo siblings to the menu.

Fragrant Mixed Noodles - Regular version 128 yuan/serving, Deluxe version 588 yuan/serving.

.......

Bodhi Jade Studio - Standard Edition 288 RMB/serving, Deluxe Edition 1288 RMB/serving.

Braised pork belly with secret recipe - 99 yuan/piece.

The Huo family members: "???"

No, what is this Shaxian?

The cheapest is 128 yuan, and the most expensive is 1288 yuan.

Is this price correct?

They've eaten at restaurants that cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan per person, but those are Michelin-starred or Black Pearl restaurants—high-end restaurants that match everything from ambiance to service to food.

This place is just a Shaxian snack shop!

Not only was the environment very basic, but the stools were also made of plastic, and there was only one waitress, a young girl wearing a cartoon pufferfish T-shirt.

Huo Junmin turned to look at her father and said seriously, "Dad, have you been deceived?"

"Don't worry if you get scammed, I'll help you deal with it."

"Last year, I handled an identical case. A small restaurant specifically targeted the elderly, maliciously overcharging them for several thousand yuan per meal. In the end, I helped the plaintiff get the owner imprisoned for over a year, and the restaurant's business license was also revoked."

"Given the pricing of this Shaxian restaurant, if I were to fight seriously, I could probably send him to jail and make him pay three times the cost of our meal."

Li Zhibai was just coming out of the kitchen carrying a pot of braised pork when he heard the lawyer's words, and his heart sank.

I rely on!

What do you mean, lawyer?!

Your dad brought you here for dinner, and you're already planning to sneak in and eat your food before it's even served?

You shouldn't have the surname Huo; you should have the surname Zhang!
