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

"Boss, you can't do this! This is our first time here, you have to give new customers some perks, right?"

"Then come back tomorrow, and you'll get a perk tomorrow."

"What benefits?"

"Bring two friends over tomorrow and try to cut the price, then you can unlock the right to order food at Bodhi Jade Restaurant."

Wang Yun: "......"

"Wait, boss, what kind of rule is this? Do I have to recruit people just to eat fried rice?"

Li Zhibai: "This isn't a rule, it's a threshold."

"Bodhi Jade Cuisine is our restaurant's prized possession, a lost ancient dish, available in limited quantities. Don't you think such a precious delicacy should be enjoyed by our most loyal customers first?"

Wang Yun was stunned by what he said: "That seems to make some sense... No, no, you're just changing the subject."

"There's nothing wrong with that," Li Zhibai gave him an example: "Think about it, those luxury stores sell limited edition bags, don't they only sell them to VIP customers? To become a VIP, don't you have to spend a certain amount first?"

"It seems so."

"That settles it then. I'll only ask you to bring two friends over, and then I'll give you a super rare Diamond VIP membership, proving that you're the most distinguished customer of this high-end Shaxian restaurant. Then you'll naturally be eligible to buy the limited edition fried rice. Doesn't that sound reasonable?"

"That seems... reasonable."

"So you can really give me a Diamond VIP membership?"

"Of course! Once you become a Diamond VIP, you can order from Bodhi Jade Restaurant."

"It's a deal then! No backing out." Wang Yun added, "You also have to give me one for my girlfriend."

"no problem!"

Yu Shen's lips twitched several times when he saw that this guy had been easily fooled by Li Heizi's few words.

He really couldn't bear to tell Wang Yun that the so-called high-end "diamond VIP" that Li Heizi was talking about was no different from toilet paper.

"Old Yu," Wang Yun suddenly turned around and called out to him.

"What's wrong?" Yu Shen asked, startled.

Wang Yun suddenly pointed outside and shouted, "Look! There are cannons outside!"

Yu Shen subconsciously turned his head to look outside the door.

The instant he turned his head, Wang Yun swiftly reached out and snatched the half-eaten fried rice from in front of him, handing it to his girlfriend Yao Qianqian who was standing behind him.

"Eat! Eat quickly!"

"Darling, this is our third anniversary, and this is the only limited edition gift I can give you." Wang Yun said affectionately to Yao Qianqian while shielding Yu Shen with his body.

"Thank you, darling!" Yao Qianqian didn't mind that it was Yu Shen's leftovers, and directly used her fingers to grab the fried rice and stuff it into her mouth.

This extraordinary couple put on a show right in front of everyone, demonstrating what it means to be bandits invading a village and colluding with each other.

Everyone else was stunned, including Li Zhibai.

When Yu Shen came to his senses, the plate was almost empty. He tried to rush over and grab it, but Wang Yun stopped him.

"Holy crap! Give it back! That's my Bodhi Jade Vegetarian Dish, I haven't finished eating it yet!"

"You two are bandits! Two bandits! One steals, the other eats!"

Yu Shen was heartbroken and could only watch helplessly as they ate all the remaining fried rice. While Yao Qianqian was eating, she even used her hand to stuff food into her boyfriend Wang Yun's mouth.

"Old Wang, you son of a bitch, I'm never inviting you to dinner again!"

"Old Yu, it's just a plate of fried rice, why are you getting so worked up? What kind of relationship do we have? Back in the day, we were eating barbecue outside the university, and you got drunk and clung to a lamppost calling him 'Dad,' I had to carry you home. Now my girlfriend ate a bite of your fried rice, so what?"

"How can that be the same? Is that just ordinary fried rice? That's Bodhi Jade Rice, a limited edition!" Yu Shen said with great distress.

"You can order again tomorrow, I'll treat you if necessary," Wang Yun said.

Yu Shen's expression changed instantly, and she pointed at him: "Hey, you said it, it's settled then."

"If you don't come tomorrow, I'll go to your house and smash your ass in!"

Wang Yun: "..."

"Boss, I'm bringing two friends tomorrow too. Remember to reserve two portions of this Bodhi Jade Vegetarian dish for me and my girlfriend in advance."

"Okay!" Li Zhibai readily agreed.

Seeing this, several new customers who had been brought in by Yu Shen and his group also raised their hands to make reservations in advance.

"Me too! Me too!"

"Save me a copy!"

"......."

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

"Check, please." Lu Qianshan said, wiping his mouth with a napkin after finishing his meal.

Li Zhibai immediately grabbed the bill and ran over to calculate the bill for them.

Because they were regular customers, and their friends kept adding to the order, he didn't collect payment in advance; he planned to collect it all at once after they finished eating.

"How much?"

"Not much, it's just a drop in the ocean for the bosses."

When Li Zhibai announced the numbers, the guys were almost rendered speechless.

And at the same time, they swore in their hearts that they would never treat anyone to a meal again, no, they would never treat anyone to a meal in Shaxian again.

too dark!

In the "Jiangcheng Luxury Gourmet Private Sharing Group", the guy who was always on business trips took the initiative to tag them.

Don't fill the tea cup so full: [@DeepSeaFish @MountainsAndSeasCanBeFlattened @I'mNotFatty @TwilightForestHowIsIt? How much did you spend? Share your pictures so I can have a laugh.]

A fish in the deep sea: [Don't even mention it, it's a nightmare.]

I'm not fat: [The four of us, excluding the owner of Su Laoban, ate at a Shaxian snack shop and spent almost 50,000 yuan.]

I'm not fat: [The password is... I spent almost 50,000 yuan on a single meal at Shaxian Restaurant. Who would believe that?]

Twilight Forest: [I feel like my royalties for this month have already said goodbye. I'll be eating dirt next month (╥﹏╥).]

Yo-yo: [Holy crap! You spent so much money? You guys got ripped off by Li Heizi.]

Don't fill the teacup so full: [Hahahaha... I'm laughing so loudly! You guys have been drooling over me in the group chat every day! This is karma! Karma! Li Heizi is doing justice to heaven this time!]

Qingyuan is not a kite: [Although I don't like Li Heizi, I'm on his side this time. You bunch of gluttons need to be taught a lesson.]

Su Su is not a sour cream: [Master seems quite happy today; he was humming a song in the kitchen just now.]

A fish in the deep sea: [@SuSuIsNotCrispy, you're not allowed to speak in the group anymore!]

Su Su is not a crisp: 【(๑・́ω・̀๑)！】

【..........】

Lu Qianshan put away his phone, glanced at Li Zhibai who was happily typing on the calculator behind the cashier, and then pulled Yu Shen, Pang Yi, and Mu Cixuan outside the store, where they formed a small circle.

"Brothers, Mumu, we can't go on like this anymore."

"We need to sort this out carefully. Why did we give Li Heizi's shop such bad reviews in the first place?"

"So that we can eat here anytime without having to wait in line, so he doesn't become too popular," Yu Shen said.

"But what about now?"

"What are we doing? We're bringing him customers. But the more people we bring in, the more popular his shop becomes, and the more popular he becomes, the less we can get any food. We've completely fallen into the trap that Li Heizi dug for us."

Pang Yi scratched his head and said, "That seems to make sense, but if I don't poop, I won't be able to eat fried rice. That fried rice is really delicious."

"Li Heizi is too cunning and knows how to use tricks."

Yu Shen gritted his teeth and said, "He used his damn, amazing cooking skills to control our souls and wallets, making us willingly let him rip us off, and even happily help him count the money."

"So we have to find a way to punish him and not let him continue to be so arrogant." Lu Qianshan pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold light.

"This guy dares to go all out today, and he dares to raise prices tomorrow. If it really becomes popular the day after tomorrow, we might have to pay extra for those 50-person-per-day spots."

"You know what, this guy could actually do something like that."

"Then how do we punish him? We gave him bad reviews before, and he just turned around and started a limited-edition scarcity marketing campaign, as if he wasn't affected at all," Yu Shen asked.

Lu Qianshan thought for a few seconds, then said, "Let's form an anti-gang alliance."

"Anti-Black Alliance?" Mu Cixuan was taken aback.

"That's right!" Lu Qianshan nodded. "Based on my observations over the past few days, apart from our group of regular customers, Li Heizi's shop doesn't actually have many casual customers. After all, the prices are what they are, and those casual customers with average spending power are lucky if they come once in a while. It's not a stable customer flow yet."

"In other words, we, the long-term customers, should actually be in the dominant position, but instead we are in a very passive position, letting them take advantage of us. This is not right."

"Therefore, in order to turn the tide, we need to fight together against Li Heizi's sickle."

"For example, tomorrow..." Lu Qianshan whispered the plan he had come up with on the spot.

"Huh? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Pang Yi said.

"If this were any other boss, it wouldn't be fair for us to do this. But honestly, do you feel any guilt towards Li Heizi?"

The group thought about it seriously after hearing this.

It seems there really isn't one.

That guy was incredibly ruthless when he slaughtered them, and his smile was absolutely radiant.

They were eager to kill him.

"Then it's settled. The Anti-Black Alliance is officially established."

Lu Qianshan stretched out his hand and looked at the others: "Our only goal is to prevent his shop from becoming popular!"

"Okay!" Yu Shen put his hand on hers.

Pang Yi placed his hand on it.

Mu Cixuan hesitated for a second, then placed her hand on his.

"Go for it, Anti-Black Alliance!" the crowd shouted in unison.

Thus, an anti-gang alliance aimed at punishing Li Heizi was quietly established at the entrance of Shaxian Snacks.

Sitting at the cashier, Li Zhibai vaguely heard the slogans shouted by the guys outside who hadn't left yet. He muttered suspiciously, "What are these guys up to? Fighting organized crime? Filming a TV drama?"
