Chapter 367: Old Mr. Yi’s Discount Card
Huo Xiang walked up to the entrance after parking the car. He was rather surprised looking around. “This place looks pretty charming.”
It was decorated in a traditional Chinese style and was called a Chinese medicinal dish restaurant. The place had an old world feel to it.
Huo Yao raised her brow. “They specialize in making medicinal dishes, and the food tastes good.”
“It’s my first time hearing of such food. Since they are medicinal dishes, do they contain Chinese herbs?” asked Huo Xiang curiously.
“Uh huh. Medicinal dishes are very healthy. Let’s go in.” Huo Yao led him in as she spoke.
Huo Xiang looked around. He was worried that someone might recognize him.
However, he realized his concerns were redundant after he went in. A screen segregated each table, and it was not very crowded inside.
The waiter had already received a call from Old Mr. Yi, informing him of Huo Yao’s arrival, so he politely led them to a private room.
The waiter handed the menu to Huo Yao. An odd expression emerged on her face after she looked at the price of the food. Huo Yao retrieved an ident.i.ty nameplate from her bag and showed it to the waiter. “I have a discount card. How much discount can I get?”
Old Mr. Yi had insisted that she take it the last time. Fortunately, she took it, or else she would have ended up throwing away a lot of money today.
Every dish on the menu cost a bomb!!
The moment the waiter caught sight of the card and heard her words, he was stunned. He parted his lips but did not know what to say.
It was the first time that someone mistook Old Mr. Yi’s ident.i.ty nameplate to be a discount card. What would Old Mr. Yi think if he caught wind of this?
Moreover, would she need to spend a dime since she had this card?
The supervisor happened to catch sight of the scene while he was standing outside the private room. He shook his head speechlessly.
He could not understand why Old Mr. Yi would give his ident.i.ty name plate to this young la.s.s, since she clearly did not know the importance of it.
The supervisor was none other than the bloke who had been with Old Mr. Yi when Huo Yao previously visited the restaurant. He believed that Old Mr. Yi had overreacted by treating her
like a VIP after she managed to identify two ingredients in his dishes randomly.
Old Mr. Yi had rung him a while ago to take care of Huo Yao. However, he felt reluctant to serve her when he learned that it was the little la.s.s who came here previously. Hence, he arranged for one of their waiters to serve Huo Yao upon her arrival.
He felt that Old Mr. Yi must be going senile when he caught sight of how cheap and clueless the young lady was.
The supervisor left the private room and headed to the kitchen instead.
Since Little Master Yi was here to hone his cooking skills today, he would rather spend his time teaching him.
After the waiter composed himself, he hurriedly explained to Huo Yao. “This isn’t a discount card. You can visit any of Old Mr. Yi’s restaurants without prior reservation and dine at no charge if you have this.”
Huo Yao’s eyes instantly lit up. “So that’s what the card is for? No one said anything when they gave it to me.”
The waiter smiled awkwardly. Of course, all Huo Yao had to do was present her card.
Huo Xiang almost wanted to cover his face when his little sister asked about getting a discount. It was not like they could not afford to dine here, but his little sister had asked for a concession blatantly...
Was his little sister so frugal because his parents did not give her any money?
Huo Xiang lowered his head and retrieved his wallet from his pocket.
