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

After the sanitation worker finished her meal and left satisfied, the other people in the restaurant had almost finished eating as well.

Yu Shen leaned back in his chair, rubbed his stomach, and let out a burp.

"Hiccup~~~~"

"Let me tell you, I, Yu Shen, grew up in Jiangcheng. I've eaten at hundreds of restaurants, big and small, and I've never had such a satisfying meal before."

Lu Qianshan wiped his mouth with a tissue and nodded, saying, "Indeed, this meal was a bit expensive, but it was worth it."

Mu Cixuan also stated, "I feel like I'm bursting with inspiration right now; I could easily write 10,000 words when I get back!"

"This meal was really enjoyable! I need to report the battle situation in the group chat." Yu Shen said, taking out his phone.

[Jiangcheng Luxury Gourmet Private Group]

A fish from the deep sea: [Brothers, I've finished eating. Now, let me share my thoughts after the meal.]

Don't fill the teacup so full: [Hurry up and tell me! I'm so miserable being away from home, I can only see your pictures and I can't eat it, it's driving me crazy!]

A fish from the deep sea: [To sum it up first, it's incredibly delicious! To make Shaxian snacks this good, the owner's culinary skills are absolutely top-notch, but...]

Don't fill the teacup so full: [But what? Don't keep me in suspense!]

A fish in the deep sea: [This boss seems to be a hypocrite!]

Don't fill the teacup so full: [? ? ? ? ? ]

Don't fill the teacup so full: [What does that mean? What does "double standard" mean?]

"Mountains and Seas Cannot Be Flattened": [Let me explain. This restaurant offers two versions of each dish: a standard version and a deluxe version. The standard version costs between 128 and 198 yuan, while the deluxe version starts at 588 yuan. As soon as we entered, the owner immediately served us all the deluxe versions, saying that the standard versions were sold out.]

Mountains and seas cannot be leveled: [As a result, Mumu and a sanitation worker ordered food, and the owner had more.]

Mountains and seas cannot be leveled: [Therefore, we can reasonably infer that the owner seems to recommend different versions based on the customer's spending power; in simpler terms, he tailors his services to the individual.]

Don't fill the teacup so full: [Holy crap! Is this some kind of double standard?]

A fish from the deep sea: [Yeah! So it's no wonder Qingyuan called him Li Heizi!]

Qingyuan is not a kite: [...]

Qingyuan is not a kite: [Then why don't you flip the table? He's treating you like suckers, and you're just going to put up with it?]

A fish from the deep sea: [Ahem, well, it's mainly because the boss's food is just so delicious that we stopped being angry while we were eating.]

Qingyuan is not a kite: [...]

Su Su is not a sour cream: [Hey, hey, hey, don't talk about my master like that! My master is actually a really good person. Didn't you see that he gave all the midnight snacks he had saved to Mu Mu and Big Sister?]

A fish from the deep sea: [Boss Su, shut up! You're on their side now, you have no right to speak!]

Su Su is not a crisp: [...]

Just as Yu Shen and his friends were furiously criticizing Li Heizi's double standards in the group chat.

Li Zhibai finished tidying up the kitchen and came over.

"Have you all enjoyed your meal? We welcome you to come again next time!"

Yu Shen's ability to change his expression is unparalleled. Just a moment ago he was cursing Li Heizi in the group chat, but as soon as he saw Li Zhibai coming over, he immediately put on a smiling face.

"I'll definitely come! I'll definitely come! Boss, your cooking is absolutely amazing!"

Seeing Yu Shen's obsequious manner, Lu Qianshan cursed him inwardly for being spineless, then asked Li Zhibai:

"By the way, boss, can we order the regular version next time?"

Li Zhibai nodded: "Of course! You can order anything on the menu. I'm a legitimate businessman, I'll make whatever you order."

Lu Qianshan: "So you're not going to say the regular version is sold out again, are you?"

Li Zhibai: Well, it depends on the situation.

Lu Qianshan: "What's the situation?"

Li Zhibai: "It depends on my mood."

Everyone: "..."

"Depending on your mood"—what the hell? It's still up to you, isn't it?!

Seeing their speechless expressions, Li Zhibai laughed and said, "Just kidding. You see, my shop isn't doing very well, there aren't many customers, so it's normal that I don't have enough ingredients. Please understand. Unless you introduce more customers to me, then I'll definitely prepare plenty of ingredients for you!"

Yu Shen and his team immediately patted their chests and assured each other, "No problem! We've got it covered!"

"If we introduce you to clients, can we get a discount?"

Li Zhibai nodded: "Okay! I'll round it down to zero for you."

Several people: "..."

Stingy!

Just then, Su Su suddenly remembered something and asked, "Master, can I pack a portion of soup to take away? I want my best friend to try it."

Just as Li Zhibai was about to say yes, before he could even utter the words, the system's voice rang in his mind.

[WARNING! Takeout is prohibited!]

Taking food out results in a drop in temperature, a decrease in texture, and a loss of aroma, severely impacting the quality of the food and failing to meet the system's standards for gourmet food.

[If the host insists on taking it outside, 50% of the host's daily revenue will be deducted as a penalty.]

Li Zhibai: "..."

Deduct 50%?

Wouldn't that kill him?!

This damn system always causes trouble at crucial moments!

Li Zhibai cursed the system a hundred times in his mind, then apologized to Su Su, saying, "Sister Su Su, I'm sorry, our store is not offering takeout service at the moment."

"Huh? Why?" Su Su asked.

Li Zhibai thought for a moment and made up a reason: "Because I think food also has a life of its own. If it's kept in a bag for too long, it will become withdrawn."

Su Su: "..."

Master's reasoning sounds both absurd and somehow somewhat reasonable.

"Okay then, I'll tell my best friend."

Su Su took out her phone and sent a private message to Lin Qingyuan.

Su Su is not a crisp: [Sister Qingyuan, I was just about to pack some soup for you to take over, but my master said the shop doesn't offer takeout service.]

Qingyuan is not a kite: [No, I won't drink!]

Su Su is not Su: [Sister Qingyuan, why don't you do it yourself? The soup here is really delicious!]

Qingyuan is not a kite: [I said I'm not going, and I mean it. My aunt has already made soup for me; I can drink it as soon as I get home.]

Su Su is not a sour cream: [What about tomorrow? Are you coming tomorrow?]

Qingyuan is not a kite: [Let's talk about it tomorrow.]

Su Su is not a crisp: [Alright then.]

After Su Su and her group left, the shop returned to its quiet state.

Li Zhibai stood behind the cashier and started calculating today's bill again.

Su Su spent 1470 on her first purchase and 6192 on her second purchase for a friend, totaling 7662.

Later, Yu Shen and Lu Qianshan each ordered an extra serving of wontons, bringing the total to 1332 for the two deluxe servings.

Adding Mu Cixuan's regular wontons, which cost 158.

Adding the sanitation worker's regular mixed noodles, which cost 128.

Total revenue: 9280 yuan.

If we add the 30,000 yuan tuition fee paid by Su Su, then today's income is about 40,000 yuan.

"hey-hey……"

[Host, please control your expression; your smile is really lewd.]

"What's wrong? I made almost 4 yuan today, can't I be happy?"

However, the thought of having to pay 600,000 yuan in rent at the end of the month made Li Zhibai's teeth ache again.

"That son of a bitch Zhao Lei! He dared to trick me into signing a contract! Don't let me catch you!"

After cursing that bastard, Li Zhibai opened the system panel and glanced at the mission progress.

[Task progress: 16/100]

The system task requires selling 100 dishes within seven days. Today, including yesterday's dish, a total of 16 dishes have been sold, leaving 84 dishes short.

There are only five days left.

In other words, an average of seventeen servings need to be sold every day from now on.

"This feels a bit risky!"

The reason we were able to sell so many today is all thanks to Su Su, the God of Wealth, who invited a bunch of friends to come and support us.

Will we have the same luck in the next few days?

That's hard to say!

Or, how about we use some psychological manipulation on that girl, Su Su?

She seems pretty easy to fool... oops, pretty naive.
