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

Li Zhibai took a taxi back to the shop with the ingredients. Just as he sorted the items and put them away, Su Su's voice came from the doorway.

"Master! I'm here!"

Su Su was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, denim overalls, and white sneakers. She hopped and skipped into the store.

Today, her outfit looks much fresher than yesterday, and she looks as cute as the girl next door.

Two men were following behind her.

One of them is Yu Shen, a second-generation demolition beneficiary who came yesterday.

The other man was someone Li Zhibai had never seen before. He was wearing a black polo shirt, looked to be around thirty, and wore frameless glasses. He appeared refined and had a similar demeanor to Lu Qianshan, but without Lu Qianshan's seriousness.

[Choose your dish based on the plate] Initiation!

[Customer: Product Manager at a major internet company]

[Personal Wealth: Purple]

[Food preferences: Prefers strongly flavored foods; craves meat when stressed.]

This guy is a bit two-faced!

However, this did not stop Li Zhibai from labeling him as a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered!

And Su Su is simply his lucky star. The quality of the new clients she brings is so high, and most importantly, she is willing to work for a paycheck.

Li Zhibai looked at Su Su and found her more and more pleasing to the eye, and liked her more and more.

"Sister Su Su is here! Welcome! Welcome!"

Su Su approached him with a grin and said, "Master, what do you need me to do? I'm ready to get to work."

"Why don't you go first..."

Before Li Zhibai could finish speaking, Yu Shen rushed over and said impatiently:

"Boss! Hurry up and cook me some food! I'm starving!"

"What would you like to eat? I'll make it now."

Yu Shen, perhaps because he hadn't eaten all day, ordered every single dish on the menu.

However, even if you order everything, it won't be much, because the menu only has steamed dumplings, mixed noodles, chicken leg rice, wontons, and stew.

The main issue is that the system only provides these recipes.

Unlike those Shaxian snack shops outside, which have everything on their menus.

Seeing that he had ordered so much, Zhou Ming couldn't help but ask, "Old Yu, are you sure you can finish all this?"

"Of course we can finish it!"

"You haven't tried the boss's cooking before. Once you do, you'll know. I guarantee you won't be able to stop eating it!" Yu Shen said.

"And mine too."

Su Su also raised her hand and said, "Master, I want a chicken leg rice and a bowl of old duck soup."

"OK!"

After making a note of it, Li Zhibai looked at Zhou Ming and asked, "What would this boss like to eat? There's a menu upstairs."

Zhou Ming glanced at the menu. Although he knew the prices in the group chat beforehand and had been recommended it by Yu Shen and the others, he still felt a bit like a big grudge when he saw the prices on the menu in person.

A Shaxian snack shop, the cheapest is 128 yuan and the most expensive is 888 yuan.

Before he came to this store, he really couldn't believe it.

"Boss, then I'll order one..."

"Wait a moment!"

Li Zhibai interrupted him and said, "Let me tell you in advance that I only received the deluxe version of the ingredients today. I haven't had time to restock the regular version yet. So, today I can only serve the deluxe version of the dishes. Please forgive me."

Zhou Ming: "???"

Yu Shen: "???"

No, boss, you're not going to act anymore?

Yesterday you said the regular version was sold out, and we'll tentatively accept that.

Are you simply not ordering any goods today?

"Boss, you wouldn't be deliberately not ordering any stock so you can give us the more expensive stuff, would you?" Zhou Ming questioned.

Li Zhibai replied without changing his expression, "How could that be? Our shop has always treated everyone equally. How could I possibly apply double standards? Wouldn't that make me seem like I have a problem with my character?"

Zhou Ming: "..."

Do you even have any integrity?

Just then, Su Su suddenly spoke up.

"Master, is it because you've just opened for business and are having trouble sourcing supplies, so you can only prepare one type of ingredient at a time?"

When Li Zhibai heard her reason, he gave her a thumbs up in his heart.

This girl is so savvy!

"Yes, yes, yes! You're absolutely right!"

"I just opened, so business is unstable. Plus, I don't have a stable supply chain, and I buy all my ingredients from supermarkets. So sometimes I really can't keep up with the demand. It's not that I'm deliberately not stocking the regular version."

Su Su: "Master, you can contact me! I can help you get in touch with the food suppliers at my restaurant. The prices will definitely be cheaper than if you buy it yourself at the supermarket, and the quality is guaranteed. My restaurant regularly uses things like Kobe beef and French guinea fowl, and we have stable supply channels. You can just get the goods from me."

Li Zhibai's eyes lit up instantly.

Can this be done?

Damn!

This girl is so wonderful!

She's giving away money, bringing customers, and providing cheap sourcing channels... she's a real treasure!

He was reluctant to let the girl graduate.

"Sister Su Su, then I'll have to trouble you."

"Alright! I've made my decision. From today onwards, you are our store's first Diamond VIP member!"

"Diamond VIP? What's the use?" Su Su asked, puzzled.

"From now on, I'll provide you with free meals when you come to work!" Li Zhibai was unusually generous.

"Also, if I launch any new dishes later, as a Diamond VIP, you'll have priority access to be ripped off... oh wait, I mean, priority tasting rights!"

Upon hearing this, Su Su immediately became excited: "Really? Master, that's so great!"

Looking at the girl's silly grin, Li Zhibai couldn't help but think to himself: This silly girl is so easy to fool; I've got her wrapped around my little finger.

Upon hearing about the Diamond VIP, Yu Shen couldn't help but say, "Boss! Can I have a Diamond VIP too? I'll come eat here every day from now on."

Li Zhibai: "Of course! Then you'll be our second Diamond VIP member, and you'll also have priority... um... tasting rights!"

Yu Shen: "Boss, that's a real bargain!"

"By the way, besides the right to sample new products, does Diamond VIP get any discounts?"

Li Zhibai: "No!"

Yu Shen: "Can we choose our seats first?"

Li Zhibai: "No!"

Yu Shen: "Did you ever send food as a birthday gift?"

Li Zhibai: "We can't send vegetables, but we can send a candle."

Yu Shen: "..."

What's the point of having a Diamond VIP status then?

Su Su said, "Master, what ingredients do you need? Please make a list for me, and I'll have my purchasing team place the order together."

Li Zhibai: "I'll organize it and send it to you later. I'll cook the meal now; we can't let the guests go hungry."

Su Su: "Yes, Master."

More than twenty minutes later.

When Li Zhibai and Su Su came out of the kitchen one after the other carrying trays, Yu Shen's mouth was practically watering.

"Holy crap! It smells amazing!"

"This is the smell! I've been craving it all day! Now I can finally smell it again!"
