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

Across the street, in front of a Michelin three-star restaurant.

Yu Shen, Lu Qianshan, Pang Yi, Wang Yun, and others were chatting furtively in the parking lot.

"Old Cha has been in there for over ten minutes, why haven't we heard anything yet? Ordering food shouldn't take this long, right?"

"Could it be that he was caught pretending to be poor by Li Heizi, and in his anger, he made him wash dishes in the shop?"

Lu Qianshan pushed up his glasses and said, "Judging from Lao Cha's attire, Li Heizi might not be able to see through him. Don't overthink it."

Pang Yi patted his round belly: "I'm a little hungry, but I'm finally going to have the regular version today. I'm a little excited. Shall we go over now?"

Lu Qianshan: "Let's wait a bit longer, until Lao Cha sends a message before we go together."

The group nodded and continued to wait in the parking lot.

Two minutes later, everyone's phone vibrated simultaneously.

Don't fill the teacup so full: [Brothers! I'm dead!!!]

A fish in the deep sea: [What? What's going on? You didn't click on it? He gave you the deluxe version?]

Don't pour the tea so full: [I was putting on a superb acting performance! That guy was still unmoved, and directly recommended some kind of deluxe supreme package to me, which came up to 3840, and even shoved the QR code in my face, forcing me to scan it.]

Don't fill the teacup so full: 【(╥﹏╥)】

A fish in the deep sea: [Holy crap! That's ruthless, they just went for it!]

Don't fill the teacup so full: [I seriously suspect someone tipped Li Heizi off beforehand, otherwise how could he have seen through my disguise at a glance?]

Everyone present instinctively thought of one person.

—Boss Su.

"A daughter is like a tree that grows up and leaves home," Yu Shen said quietly. "She's only been an apprentice for a few days, and she's already completely betrayed the organization."

"Alright, let's forget about traitors for now. What's wrong with us ordering the regular version today? He can't force us to buy it, can he?"

"Exactly! We're ordering the regular version today. Even Jesus couldn't stop us from eating the regular version!"

"Alright! Everyone must be of one mind today, stand together through thick and thin, and resolutely refuse to compromise!"

"good!"

A group of unwilling guys then started to move and headed towards the Shaxian Snacks across the street.

Yu Shen was walking at the very back. As he was about to cross the street, he suddenly turned around, waved to Xiao Zhang, the doorman who had been standing at the Michelin entrance, and greeted him.

"Hey bro, we use those parking spaces in front of your place a lot at night. Could you keep an eye on our cars so they don't get scratched?"

Doorman Xiao Zhang: "......."

How many times is this?

How many times has this happened already?

Do they really think this place is a free parking lot?

Will you also watch your car to prevent it from being scratched?

He now has an urge to find a nail and deflate their tires.

Xiao Zhang picked up the walkie-talkie again to report the situation to the manager. He suggested that the parking lot at the entrance might not be enough if things continued like this, and that they should switch to charging for parking, at least they could earn some money from parking fees.

But when he thought about how his manager had suggested he see a psychiatrist last time, he silently put the walkie-talkie down again.

Whatever, do whatever you want.

...........

Ding-a-ling~~~

The wind chimes outside the Shaxian Snack Shop rang.

Yu Shen took the lead and pushed open the door to enter, followed by Lu Qianshan, Pang Yi, Wang Yun, Yao Qianqian and others.

As soon as they entered, they saw Cha Xiaocha sitting there listlessly waiting for her meal.

"Old Tea, are you still alive?" Yu Shen stepped forward and waved his hand in front of him.

Cha Xiaochai slowly raised her head and looked at him: "I ran three or four kilometers under the scorching sun of over thirty degrees Celsius, wearing a yellow robe, and even left my beard untrimmed for two days. In the end, I couldn't even last one round and was knocked out."

Is this reasonable?

"Li Heizi's eye is too sharp! I just want to know how he figured that out? Where exactly did I give myself away?"

"Could it be the owner of Su?"

"It wasn't her. I just asked her, and she has no reason to lie like that."

"Please accept my condolences," Lu Qianshan patted his shoulder. "Your disguise wasn't entirely worthless. At least it helped us eliminate a wrong option, so we don't need to try disguising ourselves anymore; it's pointless."

Just as they were chatting, Li Zhibai came out of the kitchen.

"Hey, bosses, you're here!"

"With so many people here today, did you arrange to have a get-together?" Li Zhibai asked knowingly, as he already knew about their relationship.

She was definitely testing him on purpose; she's quite the player!

"Is it the same as usual today?"

"No! We're ordering the regular version today," Yu Shen said.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhibai readily nodded: "Sure, you can order anything on the menu. I'll make whatever you order."

Upon hearing his words, the crowd's reaction was no longer one of surprise.

Instead, they became more vigilant.

It's a scam! Absolutely a scam!

This guy must have come up with some terrible idea to harvest them again.

Last time when they released fried rice, this guy made it so that you could only order the deluxe version, successfully preventing people from ordering the regular version by taking advantage of their curiosity about trying new products.

However, this time they agreed to be of one mind and stand together through thick and thin. No matter what kind of conspiracy you plot, they will just order the regular version.

This is called responding to all changes with constancy.

"Um... Boss, are you sure you have the regular version?" Yu Shen asked again to confirm.

"Yes, I just had Sister Su deliver the goods today. They're all fresh ingredients." Li Zhibai's smile was still so bright, so sincere, and so unsettling.

But who cares?

Order first, then we'll talk.

"Then... I'd like a regular bowl of noodles?"

"good!"

Li Zhibai picked up a pen and quickly wrote down the order on the menu: "One serving of regular mixed noodles."

You actually remembered that?

"Another order of regular steamed dumplings, please?"

"No problem, one basket of regular steamed dumplings."

"Regular wontons?"

"Okay, one regular wonton."

"......"

After Li Zhibai finished writing, he even asked them, "Is there anything else you'd like to order? Would you like a regular stew pot as well?"

Seeing his initiative, Yu Shen and the others were caught off guard.

A shady restaurant owner who usually tries every means to prevent you from ordering cheap dishes suddenly becomes very accommodating to your needs. This should be a good thing, but for some reason, they feel even more uneasy.

"Boss, don't you have anything to say to us?" Yu Shen finally couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, hey, you're the one who asked me that!"

"Since you're all so interested in my new activity, let me tell you about it."

Everyone: "..."

Yu Shen wanted to slap himself; he should have known better than to ask.

Isn't this giving him an excuse to act?

"Gentlemen," Li Zhibai pointed to the activity board on the wall behind him, "our store is launching a brand new, major event today: the Bodhi Jade Pavilion Tasting Event!"

They're here! They really are here!

The fox's tail has finally been revealed!

Everyone looked at the whiteboard on the wall.

"The rules of the event are very simple: within three days, whoever purchases the most luxury Bodhi Jade items at our store will win the biggest, most prestigious, and most impressive grand prize since the store opened!"

"The grand prize?"

"Yes! The grand prize!"

Li Zhibai pointed to a line of text on the activity board and said, "That's the right to customize new dishes for our restaurant!"

"You can specify a dish, whether it's a classic dish from one of the eight major cuisines or a simple home-style stir-fry. As long as it's what you want to eat, this boss will use all his knowledge to create a unique dish just for you."

"After this dish is made, I'll also create a special commemorative card just for you!"

"And you also have a special privilege: on the first day this new dish is on the menu, you are the only person in the entire city who can order it, which shows your prestige and status."

"How about it? Isn't this activity incredibly exciting and thrilling?"

"Just imagine, in the future, when you and your friends come to this restaurant to eat, and someone brags that they come here often, you can casually say, 'Oh, there's a dish here that was specially made for me.'"

Then, take out that one-of-a-kind commemorative card and place it on the table. The prestige! The status! Doesn't that sound incredibly satisfying?

"Gentlemen, the event introduction is complete. You can now proceed with your purchases!"

Everyone: "........"

They remained silent and read through the Bodhi Jade Pavilion's tasting event again.

Exclusive custom-made dishes! A unique collector's card! Exclusive tasting rights!

To be honest, they were indeed tempted.

These seemingly superficial things precisely hit the sore spot of these rich people's desire to show off.

Especially since everyone eats here regularly, if we could take this down, wouldn't we be able to show off every day...?

Yu Shen glanced at the others furtively, and his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no! It feels like our friendship is about to capsize!
