Chapter 155: Chapter 155 It Is Difficult To Order Food
“Okay, I will sit closer to Elder sister Cheng in the middle. Elder Brother, you can sit next to me on the outside.” As expected, Chu Yuan would not miss this kind of opportunity at all. I smiled bitterly, the bratty girl disliked me being close to Liusu the least, it would be strange if she didn’t want to sit in the middle.
Mo Fei didn’t know that Chu Yuan did it deliberately, but she could see through what Liusu was thinking immediately. She couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle. The amused look in her eyes made Liusu feel both embarra.s.sed and angry. My little sister’s cute look was so innocent, how could she refuse it?
The tablecloth was so long that no one could see Liusu’s movement under the table. The bratty girl Liusu, who, who had shot herself in the foot, could only trample my foot with her heel to vent her anger. I could only laugh while enduring pain.
Pretending to feel that it was very troublesome, I complained: “How troublesome it is to change seats? If I sit in the middle, it will be convenient to take care of both of you two. Yuan Yuan, don’t behave like a little girl. I’ll invite Elder sister Cheng to our flat for dinner another day. At that time, even if you want to sit in her arms, I will not say anything. . . AH!”
Before I finished speaking, my little sister stepped on my other foot with the back of her heel. With a shy and embarra.s.sing cute smile on her face, but a sinister cold light flashed in her eyes, she said, “K~, if that’s what you want. . .”
Liusu also hurriedly echoed: “Okay, I indeed don’t know how to eat Western food, Nan Nan, please teach me later on.”
“Don’t worry about it. . .” My feet were almost flattened by those two bratty girls. ‘What have I done wrong? Alas, it’s hard to be a good person. . .’
Taking a sip of the fruit juice handed by the waitress, as the only man, I took the menu, opened it. But after a little hesitation, I politely pushed it to Mo Fei and said with a smile. “I am not a fussy eater. Just order whatever is the most expensive.”
“Pff~! Haha…” Dongfang Lianren couldn’t help but burst out laughing when she heard the words.
Chu Yuan was also blushing in embarra.s.sment, and she was secretly looking at the neatly dressed French waitress next to her, pinched my leg, and whispered: “Elder Brother, are you not ashamed of yourself? It is Elder Sister Mo’s treat, how can you say something like this?”
“Yes,” Liusu couldn’t help but wrinkle her little nose, rolled her eyes at me, and said: “Since you are not a fussy eater, then why do you want to order whatever is the most expensive? Are you trying to humiliate Ms. . . I mean are you trying to humiliate Fei Fei?”
“Humiliate? This is not the right word,” Mo Fei and I looked at each other, both with a smirk on our faces. “We are giving someone the respect they deserve. Am I right? Fei Fei.”
Mo Fei knew that Liusu and Chu Yuan had misunderstood it. SHe only thought that it was funny, so she did not immediately respond to me. Liusu on the other hand thought that I was taking advantage of Mo Fei on purpose, so she said anxiously: “Nan Nan, how can you talk like this? Fei Fei is. . . is our. . . friend! Your joke isn’t funny! You said that we came here to humiliate that Liu person, but you are. . .”
Liusu was kind-hearted. Even if she didn’t like Mo Fei, and saw her as a rival in love, she didn’t want to humiliate her by such means.
“It’s okay, Liusu, Chu Nan is right. Just order whatever is the most expensive, otherwise, how can we show someone our respect?” Seeing that Liusu started to get anxious, Mo Fei finally began to calm her down.
Liusu was not a stupid girl after all. Hearing what Mo Fei said, she suddenly knew that the person we were talking about was not Mo Fei. Only after a while did her eyes suddenly reveal a glow of realization, “Oh! You are thinking. . .”
“Now that you know it, let order the dish,” I didn’t want Chu Yuan to learn the dirty tricks that adults used, so I stopped Liusu and chuckled, “Otherwise, someone will think that we are being disrespectful.”
Liusu was still worried, “But are you sure that they will pay the bill?”
“They will…” Because of a small misunderstanding, unknowingly, the relationship between Liusu and Mo Fei became slightly better. When they finally realized it, the two women’s faces had an embarra.s.sed look.
Mo Fei took a sip of fruit juice to cover up her feelings and said, “As for Yuan Yuan and little Dongfang, there is no need for them to be in the same room with those stinky men. They are playing tricks on me, they think I will just wait to be fooled?”
A cold light flashed in Mo Fei’s eyes, and Liusu couldn’t help but have a cold shudder. Well, this was a normal reaction. If Mo Fei was a gullible person, she wouldn’t have been able to sit firmly in the position of general manager of the investment department.
Chu Yuan didn’t understand this complicated situation, so she could only judge from Liusu and Mo Fei’s reaction that there was no misunderstanding between us. Therefore, after seeing that the waitress who knew a little Chinese didn’t seem to understand what we were talking about, she let out a sigh of relief.
What was the most expensive dish in the world? French cuisine, even in Europe, French cuisine was still considered to be the most expensive one.
“Elder Brother Nan, actually, you don’t know how to order food, do you?”
Dongfang brat put down the gla.s.s and suddenly said this. It instantly made me blush in embarra.s.sment, “Who said that?”
“Do you know French?”
What she said was like an arrow hitting accurately on my weakness. My English was average, but I didn’t know anything in French. It just happened that there was no Chinese character on this stupid menu, which looked like a heavenly book to me. So of course, I didn’t know how to order. I couldn’t just order the food by how much it was displayed on the menu, right? What if what I ordered were just soups. Then people would laugh their a.s.s off if the dishes were served.
“So what, if I don’t know any french. Do you know french?” Since she had already pointed that out, there was no need for me to hide it.
“I don’t know it, but I can order without looking at the menu,” Dongfang Lianren smiled at Chu Yuan: “Yuan Yuan, the snails and pan-fried foie gras here are delicious, and there is also creamy mushroom soup. Truffle soup is also pretty good. Which one do you like? Oh right, you have to taste that fish eggs. My mother orders this every time, although I don’t think it is delicious.”
I was not surprised by what Dongfang Lianren said at all. After all, she was a young girl who practiced cooking with expensive seafood ingredients. So it was not that surprising that she had dined in this kind of restaurant before? But Liusu was taken aback, “Little Dongfang, have you been here before?”
She didn’t even look at the menu, but she still knew that there were no Chinese characters on it, of course, she had been here before.
Dongfang Lianren probably didn’t realize that this kind of high-end restaurant was like a distant existence to commoners like us, so she said casually, “I have been here several times, but I can’t read the menu. I just remember what I like to eat.”
“What does your family do?” Mo Fei was curious and looked away from the menu, looking at Dongfang brat with a strange expression on her face, “Fish eggs? Are you talking about caviar?”
Dongfang brat clapped her hands and said: “Yes, that was how they called it.”
“That was what your mother ordered every time?”
Even someone from a rich family like Mo Fei also changed her face instantly, so I finally felt that something was not right, “What’s wrong? Do they not have it on the menu?”
“They have it, but it’s not something that ordinary people can afford to eat,” Mo Fei smiled awkwardly, “Beluga caviar is more expensive than gold, and the stock is limited. In our Bei Tian city, even if you have money, you may not be able to get it.”
“More expensive than gold?” Liusu gasped in shock.
Most people may not even be able to buy it with money, but her mother ordered it every time? No wonder Mo Fei was surprised.
“Is it really that expensive? Oh my G.o.d, I never knew!” Dongfang’s expression did not seem to be pretentious, but it further confirmed that her ident.i.ty was extraordinary – a girl who couldn’t even tell how expensive the dish she ate every time was definitely a princess-level existence, “I, I think let’s not order that dish. . .”
“Why not?” Mo Fei swallowed laboriously and then talked to the French waitress who was waiting beside her in fluent French, which left us completely dumbfounded. Seeing that the waitress’s face was also filled with surprise and admiration. It was enough to see how skilled and standard her French was. She was indeed a person who had studied abroad. Could it be that the country she went to was France?
Before I was able to close my mouth, I heard the waitress say something apologetically, and then Mo Fei frowned in disappointment.
“What’s wrong, Fei Fei, what did she say?”
I couldn’t tell if Mo Fei felt relieved or pity. “She said that Beluga caviar is very low in stock, so it can only be sold to VIP customers. . .”
It was something more expensive than gold, so it was an absolute lie to say that I didn’t want to eat it. Even Chu Yuan, who was not a foodie, also couldn’t help showing an expression of regret.
When Dongfang Lianren saw it, as if she suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly pulled her purse from her backpack. Then she opened the purse and pulled out a beautifully carved silverish-white metal card, “VIP, is this it?”
