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

Li Zhibai is very proactive; he acts on his ideas immediately.

He simply took out his phone and placed an order with the delivery guy, asking him to buy a small whiteboard for him.

The item arrived in less than twenty minutes, and then he took out a marker and started writing the event announcement.

After he finished writing, he hung the sign next to the menu.

Breaking news!!!

[Our store is holding its first-ever Bodhi Jade Tasting Event starting today.]

[Event Rules: The customer who accumulates the most purchases of the deluxe Bodhi Jade Set within the next three days will receive the exclusive right to customize a new product!]

【You can specify a dish, and this owner will use all his skills to create a dish tailored just for you!】

Whether it's a taste from your memory or a long-cherished wish, as long as you can describe it, the owner can make it!

[Once the new dish is officially launched, you will have priority access to taste it. On the first day the dish is available on the menu, only you will be able to order it.]

[In addition, our restaurant will present you with an ultra-rare commemorative card for this dish; only one such card exists in the entire universe.]

[The final interpretation of this event rests with this store.]

After writing the last character, Li Zhibai took two steps back and admired his masterpiece.

This is quite a grand display.

"A bunch of nouveau riche, this should be enough to control you, right? Privileges, exclusivity, exclusive rights, you name it, let's see how you manage to keep your wallets in check."

"Hehehe..."

Li Zhibai then sent Su Su a very arrogant message.

"Sister Su Su, send me more ingredients from Bodhi Jade Studio, a hundred portions to start!"

[Jiangcheng Luxury Gourmet Private Group]

Don't fill the teacup so full: [Brothers! I! Finally! Back! Hahahahahaha.......]

Don't fill the teacup so full: [I've been away on a business trip for seven or eight days, and seeing you all bragging about Shaxian snacks every day, today I, Tea Man, am back in triumph!]

Don't fill the teacup so full: 【ʕ・̀ω・́ʔ✧ Awoo~】

The moment this guy popped up, the group chat instantly buzzed with excitement.

A fish in the deep sea: [Holy crap! Old Tea, you're finally back! But I feel a little uneasy. Maybe you should continue your business trip, otherwise I won't be able to keep you waiting.]

Don't fill the teacup so full: [Get lost!]

Su Su is not a crisp: [Welcome, Brother Tea! I'm just delivering goods to my master. Let's have dinner together.]

Mountains and seas can be flattened: [Welcome back to the team! Remember to disguise yourself.]

Don't fill the teacup so full: [Don't worry, today I'm dressed in my yellow robes. I'll run a few kilometers on the way there to make sure my disguise is perfect. That Li Heizi will definitely not kill me when he sees me looking so pathetic. Today I'm definitely getting the regular version!]

Deep Sea Fish: [Holy crap, Old Tea, that was amazing! The attention to detail was incredible.]

Even mountains and seas can be flattened: [Old Tea's move is impressive; let's wait and see if Li Heizi makes a fool of himself.]

I'm not fat: [I'll go over there too. Old Tea, could you order me a regular version of steamed dumplings and noodles later? I've never had the regular version before.]

Don't fill the teacup so full: [No problem! @SuSuIsNotCrispy, you're not allowed to tattle, or you'll be expelled from the group.]

Su Su is not a sour cream: 【…I didn’t see anything.】

When the guys in the group who had eaten at Shaxian snack bar heard that someone was going to challenge Li Heizi's double standards, they all became interested and said they wanted to go.

They quickly finalized their action plan.

First, gather across from Shaxian, but don't go in. Let Lao Cha lead the way. If Lao Cha successfully selects the regular version, the others can rush in and select it. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Heizi can't make excuses anymore, right?

Soon, this group of traitors began to gather from all directions of Jiangcheng and marched in a mighty force toward Jiangdong South Road.

…………

Su Su's BMW Mini stopped on time in the parking lot not far from the entrance of Shaxian County.

After checking the purchased ingredients, she stayed.

Firstly, it's to help out; it's not good to be absent from work all the time.

Secondly, she also wanted to see if her master's judgment was as sharp as those guys in the group said.

"Master, all the ingredients have been delivered and checked."

"Thank you, Sister Su. There's free tap water in the kitchen; feel free to drink as much as you like."

Su Su: "......."

She still went to get a cup, and for some reason, she always felt that the tap water in her master's kitchen tasted better than the purified water in her shop.

Very strange.

Could it be just psychological?

Just as she came out of the kitchen with a glass of water, she noticed the newly hung whiteboard on the wall.

"Master, you're organizing another event?"

"yes!"

"How about it? Isn't it incredibly appealing?"

Su Su nodded: "It is indeed quite attractive, it's a customized service, I'd like to participate, but I can't eat that much fried rice."

Li Zhibai: "It's okay, participation is the most important thing."

"By the way, Master, my shop is holding a tasting event in the middle of next month. We will invite more than a dozen influential people in the food industry to taste the food. When do you have time to come to my shop and give me some guidance? I have also recently come up with a few new dishes that combine Chinese and Western styles, as well as some pastries."

What? More than a dozen people from the food industry?

Li Zhibai's eyes lit up instantly.

Good grief, more than a dozen people from the food industry—they're just a dozen walking suckers!

Anyone who makes a name for themselves in the food industry has a considerable fortune; even if they aren't super-rich, their spending power is certainly not lacking.

Most importantly, there is influence.

If he could get these people to come to his Shaxian restaurant for a meal, and then have them promote it when they get back, wouldn't his Shaxian restaurant take off on the spot?

All the negative reviews and bad reputations online will be reversed.

Thinking of this, Li Zhibai said without hesitation:

"Go! We have to go!"

"Sister Su Su, you're my only apprentice. What kind of relationship do we have? We're like family! Your business is my business, your tasting event is my tasting event. I'll definitely be there to support you!"

"Really, Master? That's wonderful!" Su Su was overjoyed.

"Let's set a time another day, Master, so you can try the dishes at my shop beforehand."

"OK!"

Li Zhibai nodded, while simultaneously calculating how to maximize the use of this tasting event.

How about ordering a custom-made GG shirt with the Shaxian logo printed on it to attend the tasting event?

For example, they could print large characters on it, such as "[Premium Shaxian, a taste sensation for your palate!]"

The following text reads: "[You'll regret it if you don't eat this!]"

It may be a bit blunt, but the effect will definitely be amazing.

It would be even better if people in the food industry wore his GG shirt and posted it on their social media.

Hehehe.........

"Master? Master?" Su Su saw him suddenly start grinning foolishly and waved her hand in front of him.

Li Zhibai snapped out of his daze: "Ah, what's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about? Why are you laughing so... lewdly?"

Li Zhibai: "..."

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about what to wear. After all, it's your tasting event, Sister Su Su, so I have to choose something special. I can't embarrass you."

Su Su looked at him with suspicion, feeling that her master was up to no good, but she didn't ask any further questions.

She then followed him into the kitchen to help prepare the meal.

…………

Six o'clock in the evening.

In the parking lot opposite the Michelin restaurant across from Shaxian Snacks, Yu Shen, Lu Qianshan, Pang Yi... a group of six or seven people were secretly plotting something.

The Michelin doorman wanted to go up and say welcome several times, but seeing that they were chatting so enthusiastically, he decided not to disturb them for the time being.

Let's wait until they've finished talking before going up to greet them.

Just as Yu Shen and the others were having a great time discussing things, a young man, panting and covered in sweat, came running from not far away.

It's just that the tea for returning from a business trip shouldn't be poured too full. (Real name: Cha Xiaocha)

"Old Cha, your look is amazing!" Yu Shen gave him a thumbs up when he saw him.

Cha Xiaochai was wearing a yellow delivery uniform and a helmet. She was covered in sweat and had a scruffy beard, looking exactly like a low-level worker who had been beaten down by life.

And he really did run three kilometers to get here, just to make his image look more realistic.

"I know how hard it was for me to make sure everyone could enjoy a regular version of Shaxian cuisine," Cha Xiaochai asked, panting. "Look at me again, is this okay?"

Yu Shen circled around him and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, with your outfit, Li Heizi will never be able to tell that you're rich."

Lu Qianshan nodded: "I don't think it's a big problem. It mainly depends on your acting skills."

Cha Siu-cha: "My acting skills are absolutely top-notch."

Lu Qianshan glanced at the time: "Alright, it's past six now, let's get going!"
