Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

As Wu Mingcheng named each dish, they quickly checked the prices on the menu.

They then realized that Wu Mingcheng had ordered all the expensive dishes on the menu.

As Wu Mingcheng named each dish, they looked at the prices and couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

At the same time, they couldn't help but wonder to themselves, what kind of family is this?

If you spend so much money on a meal, wouldn't it be better to just buy two pounds of pork ribs and cook a proper meal?

These four or five dishes alone almost cost them a month's living expenses.

After ordering these dishes, Wu Mingcheng wanted to order a few more, but before he could say anything...

At this moment, the eldest sister next to her gave Xiang Yuxi a wink.

Xiang Yuxi immediately understood and then said,

"Mingcheng, how about we order this much for now, and add more if we need more?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng's roommates also didn't want him to spend too much money on food.

They echoed this sentiment.

"Yu Xi is right, if it's not enough, we'll order more."

Wu Mingcheng smiled and then said,

"Okay, we'll talk about it later. I'll order one last soup, it's my favorite, and it tastes pretty good."

Then, he turned to Du Shaobin and said,

"Give me another West Lake beef soup, I love the beef soup here the most!"

All the dishes at the Mei family banquet are from the six hundred dishes passed down in Mr. Mei's family.

Four of the chefs here are descendants of Mr. Mei's family chef, Mr. Wang.

Therefore, the dishes they make are all in the same style as those of Master Wang.

Although West Lake Beef Soup seems like a very simple dish, Chef Wang and his team prepare it differently, giving it a unique flavor.

After Wu Mingcheng ordered all the dishes, the waiter took the menu to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Du Shaobin stood by, serving them tea and water, which made Xiang Yuxi and the others feel a little uncomfortable chatting.

So, Wu Mingcheng said with a smile,

"Mr. Du, you're too kind. The Mei family banquet is so busy, yet you still took the time to come and entertain us."

We're a little embarrassed, you should go ahead and get on with your business, we don't want to disturb you."

Upon hearing this, Du Shaobin understood the meaning behind Wu Mingcheng's words, and so he respectfully said,

"Alright, Mr. Wu, I'll head out now. Please let me know if you need anything."

Wu Mingcheng nodded at him and said,

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Du."

Seeing this, how could Du Shaobin dare to be presumptuous in front of Wu Mingcheng?

He quickly said,

"Everyone here is a guest of our Mei family banquet, this is what I should do."

"Then I'll head out first, so as not to disturb your conversation any longer."

After saying that, Du Shaobin left the private room with two waiters.

After Du Shaobin left, one of Wu Mingcheng's brothers joked,

"Wow, Mingcheng, I didn't expect you to have so much influence outside. Even the boss came out to personally entertain us."

Wu Mingcheng casually made a joke to brush it off.

"Was that just giving me face? They were giving face to my friend, what does it have to do with me?"

Then, they began chatting idly in small groups around the dinner table.

Soon, Du Shaobin opened the door to the private room, and the dishes they had ordered were brought in.

As dish after dish was served, the table in front of them was soon laden with a dazzling array of food.

At this moment, Du Shaobin, who was standing to the side, said,

"Mr. Wu, your dishes are all served. We won't disturb your meal any longer. Please feel free to call us if you need anything."

Wu Mingcheng said with a smile,

"Thank you so much, Mr. Du. You've really gone to a lot of trouble."

Wu Mingcheng then took the bowl in front of Xiang Yuxi and ladled out a bowl of chicken porridge for him.

Then he said,

"Yu Xi, quickly try this bowl of Mandarin Duck Chicken Congee. It's perfect for whetting your appetite. The taste of the Mei family banquet can't be found anywhere else."

Then, he introduced Xiang Yuxi to him.

He simmered the chicken over low heat for 48 hours, until the chicken was as tender as porridge.

Then, select different vegetables according to the season, add vegetable juice, and make a yin-yang symbol with white and green.

This was also a dish that Mr. Taylor had to eat before going on stage back then.

The eldest sister next to Xiang Yuxi saw this scene and joked,

"Handsome Mingcheng, why did you only serve porridge to Yuxi? You completely ignored the rest of us!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng immediately felt somewhat embarrassed and said...

"ah…………………………"

Xiang Yuxi, who was standing nearby, heard the eldest sister's teasing and her face flushed slightly.

The eldest sister then spoke up.

"Alright, alright, I was just kidding. Look at you two, your reactions are exactly the same, you're such a pair!"

Those around them, watching Wu Mingcheng and Xiang Yuxi's reactions, were barely able to suppress their laughter.

Wu Mingcheng then chuckled and said,

"Alright, stop joking around, everyone, let's start eating!"

Looking at the exquisite food in front of them, they picked up their chopsticks but didn't know which dish to start with.

So, Wu Mingcheng called out,

"You guys should try this braised mandarin fish; it's really delicious. Also, try the 'rich mandarin shrimp'."

"Alright, everyone, start eating. Why are you being so polite? I have to be the one serving you."

At this moment, one of Wu Mingcheng's roommates, holding chopsticks, spoke up.

"It's not that I'm being polite, it's just that all the dishes in front of me look so appetizing that I don't know which one to eat first."

You suggested we eat this dish first, but I feel like I'm letting the other dish down a bit. It's such a dilemma!

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Hahahahaha,"

Soon, amidst their laughter and cheerful conversation, the meal came to a pleasant end.

At the dinner table, one person, patting his slightly protruding belly, said contentedly,

"This dish is so delicious! If I weren't already stuffed, I would have eaten it three more times!"

Wu Mingcheng said jokingly,

"How about I talk to the boss and let you stay here and work a couple of days? Then your dream will come true!"

The man immediately said,

"Sigh, I've found that the food here isn't that appealing anymore. I still prefer the food in the school cafeteria."

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they got up to leave.

No sooner had they stepped out of the private room than Du Shaobin appeared at the door, waiting for them.

After seeing Wu Mingcheng come out, he quickly went up to him and said,

"Mr. Wu, how was it? Did the food suit your taste?"

Wu Mingcheng nodded and said,

"Mr. Du, the food at the Mei Family Banquet is truly exceptional."

Upon hearing this, Du Shaobin smiled and said,

"Mr. Wu, I'm glad you're satisfied."

Then, he waved his hand, and a waiter came over with a box containing the original menu they had ordered.

As is customary at the Mei Family Banquet, each table of guests receives a menu as a gift upon departure.
