Chapter 22 Sky-high bills
The private room is very spacious, the decoration is very luxurious, a viewing curtain wall, you can see the garden outside that is particularly gorgeous by colored lights at night, and the ceiling crystal lamp directly above the round table has nearly 100 bulbs, emitting a soft light to illuminate every corner.
Everyone sat down in separate positions and served the pre-dinner fruits, Shen Huifang insisted on letting Shen Huizhu's family order, Shen Huizhu asked Xiao Chunyong to read the menu first, and called Xiao Ting and Luo Fei together under the pretext of going back to the room to get something.
After ten minutes, the three of them went and returned, Xiao Chunyong had already ordered six or seven dishes, and handed over the menu to Shen Huizhu.
I had been holding back my cigarette in the room before, but at this time, Xiao Chunyong couldn't help it, took out the soft China and was about to smoke, but Lin Yuangui first opened a pack of Ninety-Five Venerable under Shen Huifang's eyes, and handed over one of them.
"Lao Lin, are you smoking this cigarette now?" Xiao Chunyong looked at the smoke and looked at Lin Yuangui suspiciously, Lin Yuangui was no more than Shen Huifang bragging and opening his mouth, slightly dull kung fu, Shen Huifang spoke: "It's filial piety, I bought thirty at once, and said that it was for Lao Lin to smoke for a year." β
Hong Chen just took a sip of water, almost laughing, Lin Yuan returned fortunately did not light a cigarette, otherwise he was afraid of being choked, but he still couldn't help showing embarrassment, and by giving Hong Chen a cigarette, he covered up the past.
The suspicion in Xiao Chunyong's eyes did not subside, but he didn't say anything, clicked it, and twitched.
Not long after, the dish was ordered, and Shen Huizhu asked Shen Huifang: "I ordered a total of eight cold dishes and ten hot dishes, Huifang, do you want to take a look, or place an order first?" β
Shen Huifang waved her hand proudly: "Place an order, it's not enough to add more." β
Shen Huizhu asked what kind of drinks to drink, Luo Fei said that there is an underground winery here, and the red wine is quite good, Shen Huifang immediately said: "Then serve red wine, if you don't drink, order a few freshly squeezed juices." β
Five minutes later, the cold dishes were served, and after a few minutes, two waiters walked in, one with a bottle of red wine in his hand, and before they could speak, Luo Fei got up and greeted them: "Both bottles are opened, divided into two decanters, and freshly squeezed juice comes up together." β
The two waiters should be, but they did not leave the private room, but opened the red wine in front of Luo Fei at the operating table in the room, and slowly poured it into the two decanters.
Luo Fei didn't let the waiter stay, and took the initiative to take on the work of pouring the wine, and Xiao Ting also poured the juice for the lady who didn't drink after the waiter sent in the juice.
Lin Yuangui said a few words, Shen Huifang added a few more words, everyone raised a glass together, drank a sip, and then started eating.
During the dinner, Shen Huizhu seemed to have suddenly changed her sex, and she never showed off her superiority again, praised Lin Yuxin, and praised Lin Yufei, and even Hongchen was praised by her for the first time, and reversed the same meaning, Lin Yuangui and his wife have a pair of outstanding daughters and a good son-in-law, blessed!
Xiao Ting and Luo Fei were not idle, the former compared themselves, constantly belittled themselves and raised Lin Yuxin, Lin Yufei, although Luo Fei was not so explicit, he also lowered his posture and took the initiative to toast, and even Hongchen was courteous.
Shen Huifang's smile was confiscated, her face was full of red light, her vanity was satisfied like she had never been, Lin Yufei and Lin Yuangui were more subtle than her, but they still wrote a good mood on their faces, whether in the Lin family or in the Shen family, their family was of low status and had always been the object of being trampled on, and today I finally experienced the feeling of serfs turning over and singing, this feeling is a lie if you don't enjoy it.
Lin Yuxin, who received the most praise, seemed very calm, firstly, she was a person who hated vanity, and secondly, whether it was Shen Huizhu or Xiao Ting, her words were sweet and greasy, which made her a little uncomfortable, and at the same time felt too abnormal.
Hong Chen should eat, drink, and not be affected at all, as long as others don't make too much fun of him.
After about an hour of eating, a portion of abalone was delivered, the size of most of your palm.
Hong Chen's eyes stared, and he immediately recognized that this was a three-headed abalone, even if there were at least 10,000 hotels specializing in seafood, and it was not uncommon for a five-star hotel to double the price.
In other words, eight abalone per table is about 200,000.
Hong Chen glanced at everyone and found that Shen Huizhu's family was slightly surprised except for Xiao Jinyong, Shen Huizhu and the three looked indifferent, and Shen Huifang and the four were somewhat surprised, but no one said anything.
Hong Chen naturally did not make a mistake and raised his head, and the knife and fork moved together and began to enjoy.
After the abalone, there were two dishes and one soup, and finally the dessert after the meal, seeing that it was almost half past seven, Hong Chen whispered a few words to Lin Yuxin, Lin Yu thought about it, looked at Shen Huifang and said: "Mom, Hong Chen has made an appointment tonight, and there is a quarter of an hour to leave, if we don't leave, we can only take a taxi back." β
To be honest, Shen Huifang really didn't want to break up so early, she was still unsatisfied, and was hesitating, Lin Yuangui said: "Let's go together, anyway, it's almost over." β
Shen Huifang glanced at him dissatisfiedly, but still nodded reluctantly, pressed the service bell, and ordered: Pay.
After a while, the waiter sent the bill, Shen Huifang pinched a bank card, stretched out her hand, and said loudly: "Just swipe the card directly, and the password is six one." β
The bill is not to be seen, the old lady is not bad for money, she went to lie down, this feeling of pretending to be forced is refreshing, is there any?
The waiter brought the POSS machine with him, and after swiping the card, the white strip did not spit out as scheduled, and the waiter tried one side again, but it was still unsuccessful, so he came to Shen Huifang's side and reminded in a low voice: "Madam, the balance in the card is insufficient." β
Shen Huifang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned her head, her eyes locked on Hong Chen coldly, and the words popped out from between her teeth: "You really gave me an empty card." β
Hong Chen was stunned, Gao Tianxiong took out 100,000 cash from the safe and gave it to him, he went to the bank counter to deposit it, can this still be turned into an empty card?
"Impossible!"
"Could it be that the POSS machine is broken?" Seeing Hong Chen's resolute expression, Shen Huifang was a little shaken, and then looked at the waiter, who quickly thought of a possibility: "Madam, may I ask how much is the amount in your card?" β
"One hundred thousand."
The waiter smiled apologetically and handed over the bill, Shen Huifang glanced at it a few times, her face changed slightly, but she still forced her composure and said: "It's just more than 90,000, and the money in the card is enough." β
"Sorry ma'am, the bill amount is 984,700 yuan."
When she heard this number, Shen Huifang's whole head went blank and she was completely stunned.
Not only her, but Lin Yuxin, Lin Yufei, Lin Yuangui, including Xiao Jinyong were all dumbfounded.
Hong Chen was also stunned for a moment, he knew that the bill was not cheap, but he didn't expect it to be nearly one million...
"Impossible! How can you ask for so much money..."After a while, Shen Huifang shouted at the waiter with a shocked face.
Lin Yuangui hurriedly grabbed the bill, Lin Yuxin also leaned over, and in just a few seconds, Lin Yuangui looked up at Shen Huizhu and said blankly: "Eight abalone for 230,000?" β
At the same time, Lin Yuxin also looked up at Luo Fei and said word by word: "You ordered two bottles of red wine for a total of 740,000 yuan." β
Shen Huizhu looked embarrassed: "I have only eaten five abalone at most before, Huifang said that she likes to eat whatever she likes, so I wanted to open the foreign meat and ordered three abalones." β
Luo Fei was very calm, and smiled with a hint of aftertaste: "It's rare that the underground winery here has Bordeaux red wine from ChΓ’teau Libert, so I ordered two bottles." β
After two groups of simple questions and answers, the private room fell silent, and suddenly, Shen Huifang glared at Shen Huizhu viciously, and roared angrily: "Shen Huizhu, you cheat me!" β
Nearly one million bills, three-quarters of which were still spent on red wine, no matter how stupid she was, she understood that Shen Huizhu was deliberate.
Lin Yuangui, Lin Yuxin, and Lin Yufei were also full of anger.
Xiao Jinyong couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Huizhu, Xiao Luo, you guys are just messing around!" β
Xiao Ting didn't like to listen to it, and looked innocent: "Dad, it's the second aunt who said to order casually, what you want to eat, isn't my mother going to give it to the second aunt after ordering, the second aunt doesn't look at it herself, when Luo Fei ordered red wine, she also asked the second aunt's opinion, how can you blame your mother for messing around with Luo Fei." β
After that, his eyes turned to Shen Huifang, as if he couldn't see the latter's Tie Qing's face, and the corner of his mouth sneered: "Second aunt, a meal of nearly one million is a bit expensive, but Sister Yuxin earns tens of millions of dollars a year, and it is rare to invite everyone to eat, it's not a big deal." β
