When the first dish was served, the staff gently bent down beside Tang An Ning and said, "Dear guest, we noticed that you haven't ordered the main course yet. Would you like to serve it as it is or should we recommend something for you?"

Huh? What do you mean you didn't order a main course?

What are braised pork, roast goose, etc.?

The corner of Lu Xiaoyun's mouth twitched, and he looked down at the menu only to find that these dishes were in the side dish column.

Wow, braised pork, roast goose, and stewed beef are all side dishes, so what is the main dish?

Tang An Ning looked through the record of his order and it seemed that he did not order a main course.

"Please recommend one to us."

Tang An Ning spoke.

The staff member said gently: "Okay, it's my honor to recommend it to you. The main dishes we recommend in our store include honey roast suckling pig, secret barbecued pork, roasted black gold abalone with soft heart, fragrant grouper, roasted pigeon, etc. If you have any taste and preference, you can tell us and we will recommend it to you."

After that, the staff member seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, distinguished guest, our restaurant has a new dish promotion in the past few months. Members who recharge 500 million will be given a free hidden signature dish, the main dish "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall", which is only given away for this year's recharge."

"Buddha jumped over the wall?"

Tang An Ning was very interested. He nodded and took out a card: "I want to become a member."

Lu Xiaoyun was stunned.

Just to eat a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, you recharged 500 million?

A serving of Fuzhou’s classic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is only around a thousand yuan!

Although Lu Xiaoyun had never eaten the thousand-yuan Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, he had heard that it tasted very delicious and had always planned to go to Fuzhou to try it someday.

Who would have thought that this time in Hong Kong I would actually eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which requires a top-up of 500 million to buy!

Ahhhhh!

Lu Xiaoyun wanted to take out his phone and post to his Moments right away.

Lu Xiaoyun flipped through the menu, and sure enough, this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was not on the menu at all!

Oh my god, does this mean that this dish can only be eaten by paying for membership?

Lu Xiaoyun couldn't imagine how many wealthy gourmets this restaurant had attracted with this trick.

After the waiter left, Lu Xiaoyun asked curiously, "Miss Tang, can I ask you a question?"

Tang An Ning nodded: "Ask, it's okay."

Lu Xiaoyun swallowed nervously: "Well, besides being a cosplayer, I also occasionally write novels. I just happened to be planning to write a novel about a rich man, and I would like to ask you for some material... Do you mind?"

Tang An Ning couldn't help but smile: "It's okay, just write it, I don't mind."

Lu Xiaoyun was relieved and asked, "I'm curious, is this the standard for every meal for a rich person like you?"

"Well, what standards do you mean?"

Tang Anning asked back.

Lu Xiaoyun took a deep breath: "It means that every meal costs a lot of money..."

Tang An Ning understood what Lu Xiaoyun wanted to ask, and couldn't help laughing: "Not really, after all, I can't eat out every meal. But on average, the cost is not much different?"

Lu Xiaoyun took a breath and his face was full of shock.

By this calculation, Miss Tang spends three months’ salary of her family every day!

Is this the life of rich people?

Tang An Ning didn't know what he was thinking about, and smiled: "I think you can understand that once people have money, they will pursue quality. For example, I always have nutritionists at home to help me avoid excessive intake of substances that are bad for my body."

"But some so-called junk food tastes better than what you make at home. No matter how high-end the ingredients are, you can't make it taste like that. So sometimes I actually secretly eat instant noodles or order takeout..."

Tang An Ning spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

Lu Xiaoyun couldn't help but smile.

Miss Tang is quite cute.

Tang An Ning touched her face a little embarrassedly: "Don't tell anyone, our nutritionist sister is very strict. I have to eat instant noodles with my back to her window and ventilation."

Lu Xiaoyun couldn't help but laugh and nodded.

Lu Xiaoyun couldn't help it after all and carefully asked a new question.

"Ms. Tang, I have another question... In your opinion, are these dishes worth the price?"

Tang An Ning thought for a moment, then said, "To put it simply, some are worth it and some are not. For example, the red wine steak. The red wine used to stew the steak is a high-end red wine from Cheval Blanc, and the meat is also high-end Wagyu beef. According to its single-unit selling price, this dish is worth the price."

"But if we talk about the braised pork, the price of the meat alone is definitely not worth it. The extra money is the reputation of the chef and the restaurant. You can think of it as a brand premium."

"The lamb soup uses the finest cordyceps and mushrooms. According to the retail price of these cordyceps and mushrooms, this dish is worth the price, but the roast goose is definitely not worth it."

"But these are really delicious. The senior chefs in this restaurant have their own secret recipes. You can't taste the same flavor outside this restaurant, so I am still willing to pay for these "unworthy" things."

Tang An Ning smiled and said, "After all, if a person only cares about whether something is worth it or not in his life, then his life would be too painful."

Lu Xiaoyun showed an envious and thoughtful expression.

After the meal, Tang Anning and Lu Xiaoyun touched up their COS makeup and took beautiful photos in every corner of the hotel. They also met many stamp-collecting friends.

After walking out of the hotel, Lu Xiaoyun heard the Cantonese dialect coming and going and realized that he had come to a hotel in Hong Kong.

The staff of this hotel greeted and saw off Tang An Ning in Mandarin from beginning to end, so although Lu Xiaoyun knew that he had come to an old Hong Kong hotel, he did not realize that he was in Hong Kong at all.

There happened to be a rich lady dressed brightly chatting with Tang An Ning, and Lu Xiaoyun took the opportunity to ask about a pretty waitress who had been serving them.

"Beauty, are you from mainland China?"

Lu Xiaoyun asked curiously.

The pretty young lady's eyes curved into crescents: "My dear guest, I am a native Hong Konger."

Lu Xiaoyun showed a surprised look: "Wow, you speak Mandarin so well!"

The pretty lady still had a beautiful smile on her face: "Thank you very much for your compliment. Our group is a reception group that specializes in entertaining distinguished guests from the mainland like Miss Tang. Our Mandarin is good enough."

Oh I got it.

Lu Xiaoyun, who had traveled to Hong Kong with friends before, showed a little bit of envy.

In fact, the dialects of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan have a lot in common with mainland Mandarin, and you can still understand the meaning of some words by guessing.

But it is inconvenient after all.

But for someone of status and position like Tang An Ning, there is no such doubt at all.

Because only hotels are worried that people can't understand Cantonese and so they specially train Mandarin-speaking employees, but no one is worried that they can't understand Cantonese themselves.

Lu Xiaoyun sighed.

Rich people.
