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

Li Zhibai was carrying the pot of braised pork and was about to walk over when he heard Huo Junmin's words that he could get him in, and he was speechless.

Good guy!

Since opening, he has been called a black shop, given nicknames, reported, and even had his door blocked, but this is the first time he has been threatened to be sent to jail.

"Sister, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

"I've always relied on my skills to make a living, operating honestly and uprightly. I've never engaged in any shady dealings. How can you try to send me to jail right off the bat? Is there no reasoning with you?!"

boom! ! !

A muffled thud.

Li Zhibai put the pot of braised pork on the table, ready to use his silver tongue to argue with the other party.

When the huge blue-and-white porcelain bowl was placed on the table, the makeshift table trembled slightly.

The Huo family, who had been chatting, fell silent instantly, all staring at the enormous bowl, which was as big as a washbasin, and were stunned.

Wait, what is this? It's a whole pot of it!

Huo Junmin's son, Huo Ziang, who had been looking down at his phone, raised his head for the first time. When he saw the giant bowl in front of him, he couldn't help but utter a national treasure.

"Depend on!"

"Is this for feeding pigs? It's so big!"

Huo Junmin's gaze shifted from the bowl to Li Zhibai's face: "Boss, shouldn't you tell us about this bowl?"

"Tell me about it?" Li Zhibai thought for a moment and tentatively said, "Look at this bowl, it's big and round, and look at this meat, it's red and soft."

Huo Junmin: "..."

"I mean, shouldn't you explain why you served us such a big bowl? Your menu says 99 yuan a piece of meat, I don't object to that price, at least you clearly stated it, but you served us a whole bowl of meat without asking us, which is suspected of infringing on consumers' right to choose. I can file a complaint with the Consumer Association."

"I'm innocent, sister," Li Zhibai quickly explained, "With so many of you coming over for a meal, it would be so shabby if I served a few pieces of meat on a small plate. A bigger bowl would look more impressive and classy."

"That's no excuse for bringing us just one pot. If I don't object, would you dare bring us two or three more...?"

Before Huo Junmin could finish speaking, Su Su came out of the kitchen, carrying a pot of braised pork, and placed it on the table.

"Master, I've brought this bowl. There are two more bowls in the kitchen. Should we serve them both at once, or wait until the guests have finished eating?"

Li Zhibai: "..."

The Huo family members: "..."

They all looked at the boss, Li Zhibai. "No, do you really think we're pigs?"

Huo Junmin's eyes sharpened instantly. If she had only suspected something at first, she was now almost certain that this was a shady business.

"Boss, you..."

Just as she was about to make her move, Grandpa Huo interrupted her.

"Alright, Xiaomin, don't make things difficult for the young owner right away. I chose this restaurant, and I already knew the prices on the menu. I asked the young owner to order more. We're happy today, and it's not easy for the whole family to get together, so I just want you to have a good meal."

Huo Junmin turned to her father and said, "Dad, even if you knew, what he did is unreasonable. These four pots of braised pork cost at least 20,000 yuan. Although our family is rich, we can't let people take advantage of us."

"Dad, you can leave this to me. I guarantee I'll make sure he's completely under my thumb."

Upon hearing that the older woman was going to make arrangements for him, Li Zhibai immediately put on a dramatic act, pleading with Huo Wang, "Sir, you have to stand up for me! Don't forget who bravely helped you up back then. If your daughter treats your benefactor like this, wouldn't my good deed be disheartening? Who would dare to help you up if you fell again in the future!"

Huo Wang: "..."

You little brat, trying to play moral blackmail with me, huh?

He looked at his daughter, deliberately putting on a stern face: "Xiaomin, I brought you here today for a meal, not for a court hearing. If you want to file a lawsuit, go to your own law firm. Don't try to show off your lawyer's power in front of me!"

Seeing that the old man was angry, Huo Junmin had no choice but to shut up.

Huo Junsu smiled and tried to lighten the mood, saying, "Sister, don't take it so seriously. It's rare for Grandpa to invite us back for a family dinner, so let's not worry about it. Besides, look how delicious these two bowls of meat are; just smelling them makes me hungry."

Huo Junmin glared at her younger brother, saying, "Why did you have to be so talkative?"

The eldest son, Huo Junhui, also spoke up: "Dad is right. It's rare for the whole family to get together today. Let's not talk about anything else and just enjoy our meal."

He apologized to Li Zhibai: "Boss, I'm sorry, my sister is a lawyer, and it was just my professional habit acting up. Please don't mind."

Li Zhibai waved his hand: "I don't mind. What Attorney Huo said makes sense. I will definitely correct myself in the future!"

He said he would correct it, but in his heart he was thinking: What's there to correct? I'll just put it on the plate, do whatever you want, try not to eat it! Let's see if you're still so stubborn after you've eaten the first piece.

However, he had to admit that the daughter of Mr. Huo did indeed exude a rather strong sense of pressure.

Fortunately, he had Uncle Huo as his backer.

"Boss, today is my family dinner. Don't worry about them. Just bring out all your best dishes and let them have a good taste."

Upon hearing the old man's words, Li Zhibai's eyes lit up instantly. This time, the deal was in the bag!

The old man gave him the imperial sword, so why should he be polite? He'll go all out!

The three Huo siblings couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw their father siding with an outsider.

Well! The old man must have been completely fooled by this Shaxian restaurant owner, actually letting himself be ripped off.

Not long after.

One dish after another was brought out of the kitchen.

There were luxurious, golden-yellow noodles with a tantalizing aroma of scallions, crystal dumplings with thin skins and generous fillings, and steaming hot stews bursting with fresh flavor... and so on, filling the entire table and taking up almost all the space.

It really gives people the feeling that a group of people are surrounded by a mountain of food, making it impossible to know where to start.

When Grandpa Huo saw that Li Zhibai had served them so much food as if in revenge, he burst into laughter and pointed at him, laughing and scolding, "You little rascal, you really have no manners at all! Serving so many dishes, are you trying to stuff our whole family to death?"

He had long since figured out the boss's personality; this guy was a shameless, cunning businessman who would pounce on any opportunity. Before, when he ate alone, the boss couldn't rip him off, but this time he finally got his chance.

The old man was not angry at all; on the contrary, he found the young man quite interesting.

Li Zhibai grinned and said, "Hehe, since you've already given your word, I'll definitely make sure you eat and drink well!"

The Huo family was speechless when they saw the table full of delicious food. However, after seeing what the food looked like, they realized that it was quite different from what they had imagined Shaxian snacks to be.

The color and aroma of each dish were quite good, and they looked very appetizing. I just don't know how the final taste will be.

Only one person was completely uninterested in this huge feast.

Huo Junmin's son, Huo Zi'ang, the rebellious teenager who wore headphones the whole time and was immersed in the game world.

The guy was still looking down, swiping the screen on his phone, and angrily muttering, "Mid lane, mid lane, go! Do you guys even know how to play? My jungle is being completely invaded, and you guys don't even know how to help me defend it."

Huo Junmin frowned when she saw that her son was still playing games. She reached out to take his phone and said, "Zi'ang, it's time to eat. Stop playing."

Huo Ziang turned his body to the side, dodging his mother's hand, and said impatiently, "I'm not hungry, you guys eat first."

Huo Junmin's blood pressure spiked immediately.

This child is disobedient at home, but he's so unruly in front of his master and uncles!

As a top lawyer at a renowned law firm, she is virtually invincible in her professional field, but she is utterly inept when it comes to educating her son.

Every time she saw her son's rebellious behavior, she couldn't help but want to get angry.

"Zi'ang! Put down your phone and eat," Old Master Huo called out, frowning.

It's strange, but this kid doesn't even listen to his mother, but as soon as his grandfather speaks, he immediately quits the game obediently.

Huo Ziang reluctantly took off his headphones and placed his phone face down on the table. When he saw a large table of dishes that had appeared in front of him, he was stunned for a moment: "Grandpa, why is there so much food? Can all of us finish it?"

"Anyway, I'll only eat a little bit of noodles. Don't come looking for me if I can't finish the rest."

He didn't want to eat anyway, so he just planned to eat something symbolic.

Grandpa Huo didn't waste any words with him and personally put a piece of meat into his bowl.

"Give it to me first, then we'll talk."

The piece of braised pork, a deep reddish-brown color, that Huo Zi'ang's maternal grandfather placed on his plate had no appeal whatsoever.

In his opinion, this thing was too fatty and greasy, and definitely wouldn't taste good.

But since it was his grandfather who personally served him the food, he couldn't refuse, so he could only frown, pick up the meat, and stuff it into his mouth.

However, just a second later, the impatience on his face vanished instantly.

His eyes widened, and his expression shifted from disgust to surprise, then to shock...

"Holy crap! This meat is poisonous!"
