How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself? Chapter 191 - 114: Who Would Be a Fat Cat When They Could Be

There’s also this Dent du Loup potatoes dish, made with Labonnotte Potatoes... With an annual yield of less than 100 tons, plus they can only be manually harvested, the material costs up to 500 Euros per kilogram, which is almost 4000 RMB per kilogram after conversion.

These potatoes are generally supplied to high-end restaurants in Western countries, and our hotel only has a very limited purchase quantity. The texture of Labonnotte Potatoes is quite different from ordinary potatoes, I believe Mr. Gu, you’ve tasted the difference...

Listening to Li Wensheng’s introduction of each dish one by one, Gu Heng could not help but swallow his saliva...

Indeed...

While eating these appetizers, he had already felt a significant difference in texture and taste...

Especially the fried mushrooms and potatoes...

These two left the deepest impression...

Now after hearing Li Wensheng’s explanation...

He realized, although expensive, it didn’t seem so outrageous?

Pah! Not outrageous?

It’s just been a few days of good living and he’s already this inflated!

6888 RMB, that’s enough for a grand al at a star restaurant, and here he just had a few appetizers?

In the future, he absolutely must not inflate like this...

When it’s ti to look at prices, he should, instead of showing off...

Nowadays, the wealthy play too extravagantly; who knows when one might suffer a great loss due to one’s own arrogance...

While thinking this, he turned to Xu Ying and said, "Show the nu."

Xu Ying hurriedly switched her phone to the screen where Li Wensheng had sent her the nu and passed it to Gu Heng...

As Gu Heng reviewed the prices, Gu Xinran, Yu Qianqian, Leyi, and Tao Miaomiao exchanged looks...

Then they couldn’t help but want to cough up what they had just eaten...

Gu Heng buying watches worth millions didn’t shock them, but this was clearly beyond their understanding...

A Patek Philippe watch indeed commands that price...

But these appetizers costing 6888 completely shattered their perception...

The more they thought about it, the more ridiculous it seed and even a hint of regret erged...

If they knew it was this expensive, they would have savored them slowly, rather than eating like Zhu Bajie devours ginseng fruit...

All the food went into their stomachs without understanding what made it so delicious...

"Just serve according to the nu," he said.

After briefly glancing at the prices on the nu, Gu Heng handed the phone back to Xu Ying...

Apart from the exorbitant appetizers, the prices of the other ingredients could barely be considered fair; at least he was sure he hadn’t been taken for a ride...

"Brother, how much is this hotpot going to cost?"

Having seen what ca before, Gu Xinran couldn’t help but inquire about the price.

If a single appetizer costs 6888, wouldn’t a hotpot al cost over a hundred thousand?

"It’s a total of 27,000," said Gu Heng casually, then continued, "But the ingredients are not bad, there’s Australian lobster, Wagyu beef rolls, and the lamb is Dorper sheep; it’s barely justified for the price."

This ti, it wasn’t Gu Heng being inflated...

After all, back when he first got the system, he could spend 175,000 on a al...

Now that he has over a hundred million in savings, a 27,000 RMB hotpot doesn’t seem excessive, right?

But this was just his thought...

After hearing the price, the table suddenly fell silent...

Although the number seed light in Gu Heng’s mouth...

Any person with a normal sense of value knows what a 27,000 RMB al ans...

Especially Leyi...

If it weren’t for Gu Heng today, she even doubted if she would ever afford a hotpot costing 27,000 in her life...

...

Li Wensheng was fast...

He said it would take 20 minutes, but in just over ten minutes, he had a large pot delivered up...

Since it was a last-minute preparation, there wasn’t too much fuss...

He just used the induction cookers already available in the hotel’s kitchen...

But the aroma of the hotpot had already begun to spread...

Compared to the pungent sll of ordinary hotpot places, this pot also had so indescribable fresh fragrance...

"The base oil for this hotpot includes high-quality beef tallow, and instead of peanut and soybean oil, I substituted a portion with special-grade coconut oil from the South Seas. Not only does it add a hint of coconut flavor, but it also slightly neutralizes the sharpness of the spices," he said.

As for the dipping ingredients...

For a chef of such caliber, prepping these ingredients was incredibly simple...

Each slice of beef or lamb was cut as thin as a cicada’s wing, transparent enough to clearly see the muscle fibers...

The presence of the four servers that Gu Heng had left behind was now apparent...

The four servers stood at four sides of the round table...

Whatever they wanted to eat, they just needed to lift a finger and the servers would know...

Moreover, these trained servers knew exactly how long to cook each ingredient for the best flavor...

At first, Gu Xinran and the others were a bit shy...

But after Gu Heng bluntly said, "Let the professionals take care of professional tasks; we amateurs just need to eat and enjoy without spoiling these excellent ingredients," they accepted the attentive service without guilt...

The al was eaten slowly...

By the ti Gu Heng finally put down his chopsticks, it was precisely eleven o’clock...

Li Wensheng, who had finished his busy work long ago, promptly asked, "Mr. Gu, how was the taste?"

"Quite delicious," was Gu Heng’s simple response. Not cultured in gastronomy, he could not lavish the kind of professional jargon food bloggers might use; "delicious" was the highest praise he could offer.

"If Mr. Gu has the ti, you may let Butler Xu know your taste preferences. This ti was too hurried, and it’s our mistake not to fully adjust to your taste," he added.
