Volume 1 The Eve of Awakening Chapter 4 Breakfast for 30 people
Located in the best part of Jinyuan Street, the only five-star hotel in Taoshan City, Lu Xiaofei's aunt once came here to attend a wedding, and after coming back, she was full of praise for the shocking pomp and delicious food here.
Lu Xiaofei was puzzled by the aunt's taste and standards of food, every time his uncle complained about the poor taste of instant cereal, the aunt thought that the main function of food was to fill his stomach, and the taste was only secondary.
In Lu Xiaofei's view, the key to this problem is not the functional problem of the original cereal porridge as food, but the aunt as a hostess, who is flexible and mobile for doubters.
And the moment Lu Xiaofei walked into the restaurant of Zhongke Hotel, he realized that his aunt's beautiful words about this place were actually the same as her evaluation of cereal porridge, which was from the truth and higher than the truth.
At least the buffet breakfast provided by the organizer was not as exaggerated as Lu Xiaofei imagined, and the two of them each served food at random and sat down to eat.
In fact, there are not many people eating in the huge restaurant, and the people who can come to participate in the life crystal conference may not be very famous, but as long as they are related to the Gu Xianshi, the back will not be so simple, and naturally they will not care about the breakfast provided by the organizer.
The fat fish ate quickly, but after a while it was full, he touched his stomach, and after drinking a bowl of tofu brain, he found that a few guests at the adjacent table seemed to be a little wrong, and the eyes stared straight at this side, and from time to time there was an exclamation in his mouth.
A man sighed and said, "Now the child, really, you can't eat a free breakfast like this!"
The woman next to her said movingly: "I think this child has probably not eaten for too long, look at his thin appearance." ”
As Lu Xiaofei's best friend, Fat Yu had long been accustomed to this kind of look, he stood up casually, added two bowls of tofu brain and five fritters to himself, and ate them leisurely.
Fat Fish actually likes to eat with Lu Xiaofei very much, especially the buffet, because as long as Xiaofei is there, no one thinks he eats too much, except for the owner of the cafeteria.
As for Xiao Fei's only friend, although Fat Fish understands the embarrassment of being under the eaves and unable to let go of eating and drinking, he has always been very curious about Xiao Fei's reason for eating more and not getting fat and eating less and not being thin.
According to a rough estimate, Lu Xiaofei has just eaten three or four plates of baked tomatoes and stir-fried broccoli, three or four plates of steamed pumpkin, four or five plates of mousse cake,
Three or four plates of Yangzhou fried rice, four or five plates of seafood dumplings, seven or eight plates of crispy sausages, six or seven bowls of mutton wontons, and a number of noodles, not counting the five or six drawers of steamed buns eaten, and seven or eight drawers of roasted wheat.
Then he began to eat a large plate of fried bacon in front of him.
The plates were piled up in Lu Xiaofei's hands again and again, and every time the waiter came over to remove the plates, his face was full of that complex feeling of shock and pretending to be calm.
"Well, sir, although the breakfast in our hotel is unlimited, please think about your health so that you don't ...... Dyspepsia. At the end of the day, the waiter was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, my stomach is good, it's okay to eat as much as I want. Lu Xiaofei wiped his mouth, lowered his head and continued.
"But sir......
"What's the matter?"
"I'm sorry, but there are only twenty guests attending the press conference this time, and the organizer asked us to provide breakfast for thirty to forty people, considering that some people will not come to eat, so this preparation should be sufficient, but ......" The waiter looked embarrassed.
Lu Xiaofei blinked, ate another slice of bacon, and thought to himself how this person could speak.
"But you and your friend have eaten almost thirty servings, and if you continue to eat, I'm afraid the late guests won't have anything to eat. ”
"I'm sorry......" Lu Xiaofei's face turned red, he accidentally ate and let himself go, he didn't expect the hotel's breakfast to be so budget-conscious, a quantitative buffet, I really don't know how the organizer arranged it.
"Waiter, come here, is the service of Zhongke Hotel like this now?The breakfast is of this quality?" A screeching boy suddenly sounded, and on the other side of the display table, there were already guests who couldn't get the food and were not satisfied.
The waiter trotted over with his head bowed and his mouth open, stubbornly greeting the displeasure of the guests.
The bacon was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the plate on Lu Xiaofei's table was already empty, he wiped his mouth, peeking at the obviously panicked waiter, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Actually, although I look a little fatter, I don't eat much. I don't know when the fat fish who drank the dried tofu brain touched his forehead, and said weakly that he saw that the person who had just complained was actually their classmate.
A boy in a white slim-fitting suit said to the waiter, your service is too bad, I am a VIP of Baiyunhai Company, and I want to report to the organizer the problem of food strips in your hotel.
As he spoke, he held up his phone and took a picture of the container with only a thin layer of vegetable soup left.
The waiter smiled and tried to explain something, but the boy obviously didn't believe it, and in the end, the waiter really couldn't stand the other party's aggressiveness, whispered something, and then gestured in the direction of Lu Xiaofei, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
There were not many people in the restaurant, and the boy in the white suit saw Lu Xiaofei here at a glance, and Lu Xiaofei also saw the other party's face clearly.
The boy was his classmate, named Hu Shifei. Unlike Lu Xiaofei, his academic performance is very good, and he is a high-ability student, with an IQ and EQ of eighty points, and a creativity of eighty-five points, which is considered excellent, and it is possible to enter the Academy of the Awakened with this ability value.
Hu Shifei's father is the CEO of a group company, as the young master of the Hu Group, he has a flamboyant style on weekdays, once a girl accidentally stepped on Hu Shifei's foot, and was harassed and harassed by this kid for a long time, and finally had no choice but to change schools.
There is no way, although the Hu Group is not even the last in Huaxia, but in a small place like Taoshan City, it is a giant-like existence, and it is said that the children of the gentlemen are arrogant and domineering, and Hu is the kind of standard gentleman.
And classmates like Lu Xiaofei and Fat Fish are naturally the existence that he disdains.
But he still recognized Lu Xiaofei immediately, after all, he had been in a class for two years.
"Oh, who did I think it was, isn't this Xiaofei? Why did you come here to eat, didn't you go to the wrong place?" Hu Shifei looked at Lu Xiaofei's expression, like an elephant looking at an ant, and his tone was full of superiority.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Fat Yu immediately stood up and said, "Xiaofei, I'm full, let's go." ”
"Do you want to leave after eating?"
"Don't say it so badly, okay, eat more at the buffet, even if it's mixed, besides, I haven't wasted it!" Lu Xiaofei asked rhetorically.
"I'm afraid you're used to eating mixed rice, if you're really blinded by you!" Hu Shifei said expressionlessly, "Today is the product launch conference of Baiyunhai Technology Company, and the people who come to eat are all VIPs who participate in the press conference, just because you are a wild boy, can you have the opportunity to participate in this level of press conference?"
"You are slandering!" Lu Xiaofei stood up, but hiccuped uncontrollably.
"After eating so much, you still have a hard mouth! Whether it is slander or not, there will be staff to judge clearly," Hu Shifei called the waiter again, pointing to Lu Xiaofei and Fat Yudao, "How could your hotel make such a low-level mistake, these two rice buckets that ate up the breakfast of 40 people were simply mixed in to eat!"
Hearing him say this, several guests around who didn't eat breakfast complained with dissatisfaction.
"Now young people are really, eating and drinking are so blatant, not low-key at all, now it's good to be discovered!"
"This kind of luck mentality of loving to take advantage of is too bad, seeing that this child is quite young, the tutor is so bad!"
"Hey, if you don't teach, it's your father's fault, and the child's quality is poor like this, which is obviously irresponsible for parents!"
And Hu Shifei showed disdain, as if to say: Look, the eyes of the masses are bright.
All kinds of yin and yang strange words echoed in Lu Xiaofei's ears, extremely harsh, making Lu Xiaofei's breathing suddenly shortened, as an orphan, he could pretend not to care about anything without restraint, but he couldn't tolerate others questioning his upbringing and morality.
Uncle taught him since he was a child, to be a down-to-earth and good man, to be a man to stand up to the sky and look up to the heavens and the earth, although these ancient principles are like a dry poplar tree, with the taste of old Taoism, but since childhood, it has left a deep imprint in Lu Xiaofei's heart.
A trace of anger ignited in Lu Xiaofei's heart, he was a little ashamed, and said with a red face: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I, Lu Xiaofei, am not that kind of person!"
"Hmph, Lu Xiaofei, originally I just thought your family was in difficulty, I didn't expect you to be so thick-skinned, and I didn't dare to admit it after eating, if you are not a person who eats and drinks, then good, let me ask you, if I am not mistaken, the admission ticket here costs 50,000 yuan, where did you get the money to buy it if you can't pay the tuition fee in installments? So I conclude that you are mixed in, because this breakfast is provided by the organizer for the guests attending the meeting, and the hotel will not allow you to enter at all!"
Hu said righteously, as if he had discovered a new continent, and said sonorously: "If I say it wrong, I will compensate you 10,000 yuan for spiritual damages! But that is impossible, so now, please disappear from my eyes immediately!"
"Hu is wrong, don't look down on people, I, Lu Xiaofei, have no money, but I have the bottom line of being a man, not everyone is what you imagined!"
"Get out!" Hu Shifei turned away, "I don't want to waste my feelings with a garbage guy like you." ”
Everything he did was just to vent his unhappiness about not having breakfast, and there was no word tolerance in his dictionary, whoever made him unhappy, he would never make the other party feel better.
"Two gentlemen, please leave immediately, or I will call the security guards. The waiter touched the walkie-talkie in his pocket and looked impatient.
