"Professor Gu! Since both of us are hosting, let’s do it this way. We have a lot of people, so we need at least twenty dishes on the table. I’ll pick ten, and you can pick ten. That’s fairer and can cater to everyone’s tastes." Bai Xiao really doesn’t want to go to extres and hopes Gu Yangzhi will stop while he’s ahead.
They are representing China in this competition! Not here to sche against each other.
The captain and vice-captain are already so confrontational, and the team has even ford factions. How will they compete in the future?
She has stepped back and hasn’t made any moves at all.
How Gu Yangzhi chooses to act is up to him.
If he wants to provoke, she is not afraid.
Comparing who’s richer, that’s nothing to fear.
We might lack everything else, but we’ve got plenty of money.
Moreover, to be blunt, this international hotel belongs to the Bai Family, under her father Bai Jingshan’s industry.
Just now, she saw the Bai Group’s logo. Bai Jingshan has invested in many businesses, committed heavily dostically, and has shifted almost all his assets there, with the focus of all his businesses now being in China.
Where his daughter is, that’s where he naturally is.
For Bai Jingshan, having a daughter is everything.
He calls her every few days, or just shows up with food and drinks.
It’s perfect for him to get a al at Bai Xiao’s house, eating the food his daughter personally made, it’s simply the happiest thing for him.
Who would have thought that this seemingly kind and amiable middle-aged man would still be so clueless when it cos to his daughter.
Gu Yangzhi took a glance at the nu, "Alright, since Dr. Bai ntioned it, I won’t hold back either. We two captains must treat everyone well since we’re eating together. So, waiter!"
The waiter imdiately ca over to Gu Yangzhi with a note and pen.
Ti to order food.
"Sir, hello, what can I get for you?"
"Well, this lobster looks good, is it Australian lobster?"
"Yes, this Australian lobster was just flown in this morning, very fresh. All our seafood is flown in, quality is absolutely guaranteed. Would you like a big one or a small one?"
He was secretly pleased, it seed like they were spending public funds, and by the number of people, his commission had hope.
"How many pounds is the large one, and how many pounds is the small one?"
"Today, we have two large ones, each four kilograms. Since you have a lot of people, it would be just right for one dish per table. Of course, we also have smaller ones, each one kilogram. Our lobster is priced at nine hundred eighty-eight per pound, but the quality is excellent. Custors who’ve tried it have nothing but praise."
The waiter had started his persuasive pitch, trying to convince Gu Yangzhi.
"Alright, we’ll take the four-kilogram ones, one dish per table. The lobster here is really good. You can’t find authentic Australian lobster elsewhere."
Gu Yangzhi smilingly placed his food order.
The people around him were a bit uneasy.
Even though they were doctors at a major hospital, their monthly salary was no more than seven or eight hundred, and with surgery fees and various overti allowances, it would still only be about two thousand! This was already a high salary.
But this one lobster alone would cost seven or eight thousand, it left them a little uneasy.
Being treated to a al was fine, but after this, what if they were expected to reciprocate?
How could they invite everyone to eat at a street stall?
If everyone were to dine here, no one would want to spend their years of earnings on a al.
"Professor Gu, maybe we should just eat casually, there’s no need to spend so much!"
Gu Yangzhi laughed, "Oh no, since we’re treating everyone, Dr. Bai and I must show so sincerity, otherwise we would let everyone down, especially . I am trying to redeem myself. Eat, don’t save money on my behalf.
Here, waiter, this soup looks nice too, and this sea cucumber, is it Liaoshen?"
"Yes! This is authentic Liaoshen sea cucumber, you have a great eye, sir."
"Alright, let’s have one serving for each person, its taste is good."
That particular Liaoshen sea cucumber cost a hundred eighty per serving.
With each person getting one, it was already several thousand out of the pocket.
Everyone gasped.
After their ntal complaints, they quietly looked over at Bai Xiao.
Everyone knew clearly in their hearts that Gu Yangzhi was trying to undermine Bai Xiao.
They were actually just the supporting characters here.
Then, Gu Yangzhi ordered eight more dishes: chilled sake preserved abalone, one serving per person, braised fish maw in abalone sauce, wild large yellow croaker - one weighing five pounds four ounces, another four pounds eight ounces, Yangtze River Crab, Crocodile Tail Stew Soup, wild Large Conch, olive at Wild Duck, Seared Abalone Slices, and Crispy Chicken.
The ten dishes practically covered all the hot dishes, and almost all are dishes with shockingly high prices.
The waiter was so scared his little heart was about to burst.
My gosh.
Encountered a big client today.
With any luck, today’s commission might be enough for a year’s salary.
Sat up with wealthy big shots!
Gu Yangzhi smilingly closed the nu, just these few signature dishes alone would be enough to undo Bai Xiao.
He still didn’t believe Bai Xiao could do anything about it.
"Dr. Bai! I’ve finished ordering, the rest is up to you."
Bai Xiao nodded, alright! Quite daring!
It seems that Gu Yangzhi really wants to take her down.
Then she couldn’t be blad for reciprocating in kind.
"Waiter, I heard you have so new dishes here, a fusion of Chinese and Western cuisines, right?"
The waiter imdiately scampered to Bai Xiao’s side.
"Miss..."
"Call Dr. Bai!"
No one is interested in that "Miss" title.
"Okay! Dr. Bai, you are truly an expert, we indeed have introduced so fusion and Western dishes, all highly popular." Imdiately, like pulling a magic trick, he took out a new nu from the cabinet, usually not readily shown to guests!
It’s just that the prices are unimaginably high.
Only old clients, ones they’re familiar with, would they show.
This is what their hotel considers as private cuisine.
"Alright then, Almas Caviar, one serving per person, Kobe ribeye steak, specialty salad, how much is one serving of this ham?"
"This ham is from the UK, one serving is less than fifty grams. But it’s absolutely select, using pork from pigs fed only on acorns and roots, cured for three whole years. Even the packaging is particularly ticulous, each ham is wrapped in a handmade apron and placed in a handmade wooden box, each with a DNA certificate, all verifiable." The waiter was already eloquent as could be.
"Alright then, let’s have one serving per person, then Matsutake, bagels, seafood treasures, other than that, just black-skinned waterlon and mango, finally, let’s add the Scottish Golden Sundae Ice Cream and Sultan Golden Cake."
Gu Yangzhi listened and thought disdainfully, this choice of dishes specifically aid at picking the cheaper ones! Nothing but ice cream, fruit, cake, and probably the most expensive being the caviar.
Really, comparing with his dishes was worlds apart.
The gap in strength was clear at once.
A sarcastic smile crept across his lips.
"Four bottles of noble rot sweet white wine pair perfectly with lobster, and red wine for the steak, plus four bottles of Lafei, all from the 1787 vintage; if there’s anything else, we can add it later."
The waiter was too delighted to speak.
What a tycoon!
These here are definitely thirty tycoons.
Today he made a fortune.
