Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

When Xiang Yuxi and the others heard that they could experience a rickshaw from the Min Kingdom era, they were immediately intrigued.

So they boarded a rickshaw and headed to the Mei family banquet.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Mei family banquet, the group alighted from the car and immediately recognized the entrance as a classic, antique-style courtyard house typical of the capital city.

Du Shaobin led the way, taking them into the courtyard house and introducing them to the old objects inside.

Xiang Yuxi and the others immediately became very interested, because once they entered the courtyard, it didn't feel like a restaurant at all; it felt more like a museum.

Du Shaobin, who was standing to the side, noticed that Xiang Yuxi and her group, who were accompanying Wu Mingcheng, were very curious about the furnishings at the Mei family banquet.

So he began to explain to them.

"You may not know this, but Mr. Mei Bo is an honorary director of our company."

Therefore, many of the city-themed items in this room were used by the theatrical master, Mr. Mei.

When they heard Du Shaobin mention that the items belonged to Mr. Mei, they became even more interested.

So the group of them started to look around the lobby, taking photos and checking off their lists.

Wu Mingcheng had already been here before and was quite familiar with these things, so there was nothing unusual about it.

So he stood still and waited for them to return.

Du Shaobin was clearly able to distinguish between primary and secondary matters, knowing that Wu Mingcheng was the most important person, and stood there accompanying Wu Mingcheng.

At this moment, he stepped forward and whispered,

"Young Master Wu and Young Master Fan have already told me. I'm really sorry, customer service didn't know your identity either."

That's why I offended you. Please forgive me, I'm so magnanimous.

Wu Mingcheng then waved his hand and said,

"These are all minor things. How could I possibly argue with a customer service representative about these things?"

Wu Mingcheng's words were perfectly watertight; what he meant was simply that he had said...

He didn't argue with the customer service staff, but he didn't say he wouldn't argue with Du Shaobin.

Chapter 55 The Astounding Price

Du Shaobin quickly admitted his mistake and said,

"Young Master Wu, this is my fault. I should have taken the liberty of adding your contact information when you came last time."

Otherwise, I wouldn't have troubled you so much. It's all my fault, please don't hold it against me."

Seeing Du Shaobin's sincere attitude, Wu Mingcheng knew that Du Shaobin and Fan Weimin had a good relationship.

So he stopped making things difficult for Du Shaobin and began to speak.

"Boss Du, what are you doing? You and Weimin are friends, so we're friends too."

Why are friends saying such polite things? I didn't take it seriously either.

Du Shaobin then seized the opportunity to speak,

"Young Master Wu, do you think I could presume to add you as a contact?"

Next time you come over for dinner, just let me know and I'll prepare everything for you in advance.”

Wu Mingcheng thought to himself that he would inevitably have to eat out with friends sometimes.

It's quite convenient to add his contact information myself, and it saves me from not being able to find him in the future.

So he said,

"Of course you can. Just contact Weimin and ask him to send you my WeChat contact information."

Upon hearing this, Du Shaobin quickly said,

"Thank you, Young Master Wu,"

Soon, Xiang Yuxi and the others returned after their tour, and Du Shaobin led them to the Lichun Hall, which had been prepared in advance.

Upon entering, they saw a theatrical costume hanging in the display case, placed in the very center.

Ask one of the girls in Yuxi's dormitory,

"Wow, is this the same suit that Mr. Taylor wore?"

Du Shaobin nodded and said,

"That's right, and this costume is extraordinary. This is Master Mei's first performance at the Guanghelou Theater in the capital."

"A costume worn by the actress playing the Weaver Girl in the 'Magpie Bridge Vow' scene at the Palace of Eternal Life."

Several people looked at the costume and admired it, marveling at its beauty.

After everyone sat down, Du Shaobin personally placed several menus in front of them.

Finally, he placed a separate menu in front of Wu Mingcheng, then stood behind him.

Xiang Yuxi and the others noticed this scene but didn't say anything.

They simply assumed that Du Shaobin was being so respectful to Wu Mingcheng out of consideration for Wu Mingcheng's friendship.

Wu Mingcheng then picked up the menu, flipped through it, and said to the group,

"So? Have you decided what you want to eat?"

Xiang Yuxi and the others picked up the menu and, seeing the brightly colored pictures, were immediately struck by its appeal.

This menu is also very unique, as it is entirely handwritten, and the calligraphy and other aspects are quite excellent.

But when they saw the price that followed, they were immediately terrified.

Seeing this, one of Xiang Yuxi's roommates secretly nudged the eldest sister next to her, gesturing for her to look at the prices on the menu.

When Xiang Yuxi arrived at the Mei family banquet, she found the place quite unique and charming.

Looking at the menu cover, she thought it was quite interesting; she usually liked this kind of thing.

So, she opened the menu with great interest and was immediately drawn to the calligraphy on it.

She then noticed the design and signature on it, and discovered that it was actually the work of the renowned master, an elder of a hundred generations.

She couldn't help but marvel at how exquisitely the menu was made; the production cost must have been incredibly high.

Then, she looked at the prices listed after each dish and, like her friends, was surprised.

The price of a single dish here is almost more expensive than a meal for two people at the school gate.

Xiang Yuxi looked up and saw the eldest sister looking at him.

Their eyes met, and they immediately understood each other's thoughts.

The others were also shocked by the prices on the menu.

Just then, Wu Mingcheng asked for their opinions.

They all spoke.

"I'm fine with anything, I don't have any dietary restrictions, you guys can order whatever you want."

"Me too, I don't have any particular favorite foods,"

"I'll do whatever you say,"

..........................................

Upon hearing their words, Wu Mingcheng turned his gaze to Xiang Yuxi, who was standing to the side.

Xiang Yuxi spoke up,

"I'm fine with anything, Mingcheng. Why don't you order some?"

Wu Mingcheng suddenly sensed that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so he looked up at them.

At that moment, he noticed the embarrassed expressions on their faces and instantly understood what had happened.

Meanwhile, Du Shaobin, located in the capital city, runs a restaurant like this.

He greeted and saw off countless high-ranking officials and wealthy young men every day, and was adept at reading people's expressions and moods.

He could tell at a glance that the friends Wu Mingcheng brought were all from ordinary families.

Only the girl next to Wu Mingcheng had a certain air about her.

No wonder Wu Mingcheng wanted to conceal his identity; the difference in their social status was too great, and sometimes that could be a source of pressure.

Wu Mingcheng smiled slightly and spoke.

"This Mei family banquet mainly consists of light, slightly sweet and slightly salty Jiangnan dishes. Are you sure that's all right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's words.

So Wu Mingcheng said to Du Shaobin behind him,

"Let's start with a dish of chicken congee with two different fillings, which Mr. Mei always had to eat before going on stage."

Then, a few more signature dishes from the Mei Family Banquet: braised mandarin fish, sea cucumber with abalone, Mei Family Double Delight, rich and noble prawns, walnut paste, Mei Family roast duck, dry-fried jade ring prawns, steamed sea bass with pickled mustard greens and shredded pork, and Tongxuan First-Class Steamed Meat.

Did Chapter 56 overlook us?

After all, there are nearly a dozen people in their two dorm rooms combined, so ordering too little food wouldn't be enough.
