Chapter 27 Mapo Tofu
"Everyone, I'm Xiaomei, the waitress who will provide you with full service. Here are the menus, please take a look." Xiaomei distributed the four menus to each person.

"Why is your face swollen? Are you alright?" Chen Wei was concerned because the wound was very fresh.

"It's alright, sir. We've received professional training, and there's absolutely no way we'd start a fight just because our idol is here." Xiao Mei gave a formulaic smile.

Ok?
Chen Wei felt that something about that sentence didn't sound right.

"What's the most expensive dish here?" Su Yumeng flipped through a few pages, quite dissatisfied with the prices.

It's a five-star hotel, after all; it should have at least one more zero!
At such a low price, she hasn't even managed to make Chen Wei cry yet; she'll probably be stuffed to death herself.

"Turn to the last page, the bottom right corner, it's a seven-digit number," Chen Wei said before Xiao Mei could speak.

"I'll take this one!" Su Yumeng said without even glancing at it.

"Miss, I'm afraid we can't make it." Xiao Mei looked troubled.

“Why can’t we serve it? If it’s on the menu and customers want it, we have to serve it,” Su Yumeng explained.

"That's our hotel's landline number."

Upon hearing Xiao Mei's words, both Su Qingyue and Su Mengdie covered their faces and smiled.

"Pfft!" Chen Wei laughed even harder, unable to hold back his laughter.

"..." Su Yumeng.

"Bring me ten of your most expensive dishes first!" Su Yumeng gritted her teeth, determined to channel her grief and anger into her appetite! She would eat as much as she could!
"Okay." Xiaomei opened her tablet and remotely sent the menu to the kitchen.

Su Qingyue knew that Su Yumeng didn't have such a large appetite and was just being stubborn, so she didn't order any food.

Su Mengdie only ordered one dessert.

"Sis, why aren't you ordering anything?"

After more than a dozen people came in one after another and put all the dishes on the table, Su Yumeng finally understood why no one was ordering any more food.

These ten dishes filled the large round table completely, leaving no space at all. Several of them were set meals, such as a seafood platter with lobster, abalone, salmon, sturgeon, and peony shrimp...

"Let's make it clear beforehand: I'll pay for what we eat, and you'll have to pay for what we don't," Chen Wei stated.

"Um, may I ask how much these ten dishes cost in total?" Su Yumeng looked up at Xiaomei.

After some calculation, Xiaomei told the reporter: "Two hundred and thirty thousand."

Two hundred and thirty thousand!

Although Su Yumeng is already a billionaire at a young age, Su Qingyue limits her spending every month to prevent her from developing a bad habit of extravagant spending.

How could she possibly finish all this food?
If she can't finish it, it's only the beginning of the month, and Su Yumeng's allowance...

"Sis, you all eat as much as you want, don't be shy, and you too, you naughty little brother." Su Yumeng stuck out her tongue.

"Sis, why aren't you eating?" Chen Wei noticed that Su Mengdie didn't seem to have much of an appetite.

Su Mengdie put a shrimp in her mouth; it cost several tens of yuan, but tasted like chewing wax.

Logically speaking, Su Mengdie shouldn't still be hungry after eating noodles last night, especially since she hasn't had breakfast yet.

"Xiaowei, why don't you go to the kitchen and make something for me to eat?" Su Mengdie put down her chopsticks and suddenly said.

"Mengdie, what are you talking about! What kind of logic is it to cook for yourself at a five-star hotel?" Su Qingyue said speechlessly.

Xiao Mei's expression was also rather unpleasant.

He thought to himself, "This guest is really quite strange."

You should know that their hotel's head chef was hired from overseas at a high salary of several million yuan a year, and he has won countless awards.

It wasn't that she looked down on Chen Wei, but rather that the two were simply not on the same level and there was no comparison.

To be honest, Xiaomei is still biased towards Chen Wei.

"Third sister, have you gone crazy from writing novels? Why are you eating his stuff instead of enjoying perfectly good five-star cuisine?" Su Yumeng complained as she struggled to pry open the lobster's head.

Su Mengdie ignored them and looked at Chen Wei expectantly.

"Okay, I'll give it a try," Chen Wei said, his heart softening.

"Um, can I use the kitchen? Please, in return, I can grant you one request." "Really!" Xiaomei's face showed no sign of difficulty.

"As long as it's within my capabilities, there's no problem," Chen Wei nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

About three or four minutes later.

Xiao Mei returned to the private room and said, "Sir, it's ready."

"Thank you." Chen Wei got up and, led by Xiao Mei, went to the kitchen.

Several chefs were quite interested in him.

After all, such oddballs aren't something you can see every day.

"Young man, what ingredients do you need? I'll prepare them for you." The kitchen was so big that, to avoid unnecessary trouble, a chef took the initiative to come up and ask.

"Braised tofu, ground pork, chili powder, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, scallions, sesame oil, cornstarch, fresh red chili peppers, fermented broad bean paste, green bell peppers, sugar, peanuts..."

Thankfully, it's a five-star kitchen; in other places, it might not be possible to find all of them.

"Young man, what are you doing?" He had been a chef for almost ten years, but he couldn't figure out what Chen Wei was up to.

"A delicious dish called Mapo Tofu." Chen Wei rolled up his sleeves and began to demonstrate his skills.

"This young man has pretty good knife skills!"

"He can even flip the wok! He's got some skill."

"They've got some skills."

People's impression of Chen Wei began to change.

Unfortunately, there's no fermented soybean paste in this world. Although it's possible to make it, time is limited, and there's not enough time for pickling, so the flavor will definitely be affected.

"Looks good!"

"This sauce smells so good!"

"Um, may I have a taste?"

“No.” Chen Wei shook his head. “This is for my sister.”

"..." The chefs.

Back in the private room, Chen Wei saw Su Mengdie had already cleared a space in front of him, looking impatient.

Chen Wei quickly placed the plate of Mapo Tofu in front of her, "Sister, see if it suits your taste."

Su Mengdie picked up the tofu and minced meat together, put it in her mouth, and then added a mouthful of rice. A happy expression immediately spread across her face.

"Is it really that exaggerated?" For some reason, Su Yumeng suddenly felt that the lobster in her hand didn't taste so good anymore.

"Third sister, give me some too." Su Yumeng held out her chopsticks.

But Su Mengdie stopped her, saying, "Be good, just enjoy your five-star cuisine!"

"..." Su Yumeng.

Why is it guarding its food?

Meanwhile, in the kitchen.

"What should we do with all this leftover sauce?" someone asked.

"Let's pack it up, we'll probably still need the people."

"It smells pretty good, should we add it to the dish and try it?"

"If you think your salary is enough to cover the deductions, then go ahead and add more. Nobody's stopping you."

"Then let's forget about it," the young chef said, placing the jar of fermented soybean paste in the corner.
