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

A dozen minutes later, Wen Ran arrived at No. 88 Jiangnan East Road with her colleagues.

"We're here, this is the place," Wen Ran said, pointing to the Shaxian Snacks restaurant in front of her.

The colleagues behind him all looked up at the familiar Shaxian Snacks sign, and then sighed in unison.

Although they already knew that the dinner party would be held in Shaxian County, they still felt a great sense of disappointment when they actually arrived.

Especially since this shop is right across from a very high-end Michelin three-star restaurant.

Compared to this, they instantly lost their appetite.

"The first time our company had a dinner party at Shaxian snack bar, it was awful."

"I'm only praying for one thing now: please don't let me run into someone I know at the door."

"Xiao Ran said this Shaxian snack is especially delicious, maybe it's true," Lily couldn't help but say.

"Sister Lily, I believe you that Shaxian snacks are good value for money, but I don't believe you that they're that delicious. It's like me believing that the boss will give us a raise—it's just wishful thinking, completely unrealistic."

"Exactly! What's most disgusting isn't eating at Shaxian, it's that the boss and that bastard Liu Xin went to a fancy restaurant to eat alone, while we were forced to eat at Shaxian."

"Alright, alright, since we're already here, let's make the best of it and go inside first."

"......."

"Xiao Ran, I've placed all my trust in you, so don't let me down," Lily joked, linking her arm with Wen Ran's.

"Don't worry, I'll make you question your existence by eating this much," Wen Ran assured, patting her chest.

Despite her confident demeanor, no one felt any anticipation from her.

I just assumed this girl hadn't eaten anything good before, which was why she was praising this restaurant so much.

Just then, Li Zhibai came out wearing a white apron, welcoming them with a beaming smile:

"Welcome, welcome! Please come in, distinguished guests!"

At the same time, he also activated the "tailoring his approach" skill, and the financial information of more than twenty people appeared all at once.

Green green green green green blue green white white green green blue green green green green green blue green green green green...

Li Zhibai: "..."

Good guy.

The color is a bit unlucky.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: ①⓪①ⓚⓚⓢ.ⓒⓞⓜ]

It doesn't matter, since it's public funds anyway, it doesn't matter what their personal wealth is like.

"Please make yourself at home, no need to be shy."

As Li Zhibai gestured for everyone to take their seats, he called out towards the kitchen, "Sister Su Su, pour some tea for our distinguished guests."

"Yes, Master." Su Su replied crisply, carrying a kettle out of the kitchen and pouring tea for them one by one.

At this moment, some sharp-eyed people noticed that this waiter was a bit unusual; the clothes he was wearing and the bracelet he was wearing were all designer brands and luxury goods.

He thought to himself: Could it be that their guess was right? This really is a money laundering shop, otherwise how could even a waiter be so rich?

After everyone sat down, they began to take in the environment of this Shaxian restaurant.

The shop is small; six small long tables have been pushed together to form three large tables, which can barely accommodate more than twenty people.

The decoration is no different from that of a regular Shaxian restaurant, but it's kept quite clean.

The kitchen is semi-open; you can see the stove and various kitchen utensils through the transparent glass.

"The environment is alright, much cleaner than I expected."

"Hmm, it'll do."

"Hey, look, that menu on the wall is a bit strange. It even has a luxury version," someone with sharp eyes pointed out.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the menu on the wall.

Luxurious and fragrant mixed noodles – [Signature recommendation! Must-order!]

Luxury Crystal Dumplings – [Signature Recommendation! Must-Order!]

Luxury Chicken Leg Rice – [Signature Recommendation! Must-Order!]

............

Every dish is a "must-order," and the regular version section is all marked with three big words: "Sold Out."

"Wait, why is there only a few dishes on this menu? That's too few."

"Last time I went to the Shaxian restaurant downstairs from my place, the menu had at least twenty or thirty dishes, stir-fried, stewed, steamed, braised, you name it. How come your restaurant only has a few dishes?"

"Also, boss, what does 'deluxe version' mean in front of each dish?"

"......"

"The luxury version is the specialty of our store. It uses more luxurious ingredients and has a more exquisite taste. It is a high-end snack of our store," Li Zhibai explained.

"What about the regular version? Why are they all sold out?" Lily asked.

Li Zhibai glanced at Wen Ran, and Wen Ran immediately picked up her water glass and pretended to drink it.

"Well... it's really unfortunate, we're out of the regular ingredients and haven't had time to restock." He used the same excuse as before.

Although his colleagues found it a bit strange, they didn't take it seriously.

Even if you put it bluntly, this is still Shaxian County. How high-end can it be?

It can't be more expensive than that Michelin restaurant across the street, can it?

"Alright, let's just order what's on the menu. There are only a few items anyway, so let's try one of each."

"Yes, yes, let's eat first, and we'll add more if it's not enough."

"Me too, one of everything."

Me too.

"......"

While they were all talking at once about ordering food, Li Zhibai secretly beckoned to Wen Ran. After she came over, he whispered:

"I've roughly estimated that if so many of you eat like this, it won't be cheap. Are you sure your supervisor's card can handle that much money?"

Wen Ran nodded and said, "I asked, and the supervisor said it himself. He said there are over 100,000 yuan in this card."

"That's good."

Li Zhibai nodded, turned around, and went into the kitchen to start working.

After pouring the water, Su Su had been busy in the kitchen for quite some time, arranging the various prepared ingredients neatly on the worktable.

Upon seeing Li Zhibai enter, she looked up and asked, "Master, have all the people from the big company arrived?"

"They're all here."

Li Zhibai rolled up his sleeves and said to Su Su, "Let's get started, Sister Su Su! I'll treat you to a nice meal tonight!"

"Okay!" Su Su replied, full of enthusiasm.

The kitchen instantly went into battle mode.

Li Zhibai was like someone with superpowers, efficiently and systematically preparing different kinds of delicious food.

Su Su watched from the side, her eyes wide with amazement.

Although she is the head chef of the Black Pearl restaurant chain and has achieved some success in fusion cuisine, she admits that she could never match Li Zhibai's exaggerated level of control.

One person can control six processes simultaneously without making a mistake.

That's absolutely amazing!
