Collect supplies, seize aircraft carriers, and travel to the seventh and fifth

It wasn't until 9 p.m. that Yang Yuqing's uncle and Fu Zhenghong's four younger brothers finally got a seat and were able to enter the restaurant for dinner.

Upon entering the restaurant lobby, the five people were stunned. The lobby was brightly lit, and there were three huge crystal chandeliers in the lobby.

The light shone on the smooth marble floor, making it possible to see even a single hair.

The sofas on both sides of the door looked so soft, and several children were sitting there bouncing around playing with them!

The lobby was filled with tables, some for four people and others for eight. "Welcome!" Four tall, sweet-looking greeters stood on either side of the entrance. Their figures, accentuated by their elegant cheongsams, were so curvaceous, and their long legs were faintly visible through black stockings, enough to make anyone's nose bleed.

Pretty waitresses in uniforms moved back and forth carrying trays filled with beautifully presented and fragrant dishes.

They couldn't help but take a deep breath, and immediately felt refreshed.

All five of them simultaneously felt their mouths watering; the dish smelled so delicious.

A young and pretty waitress brought over a menu, which was surprisingly long, with more than twenty pages and twenty or thirty dishes on each page.

The five people huddled together, wanting to order a few dishes, but when they looked at the menu, they couldn't help but gasp!

The menu listed dishes such as "Spicy Chicken 88 yuan", "Poached Chicken 88 yuan", "Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms 88 yuan", and "Spicy Shredded Chicken 88 yuan", with no fewer than fifteen ways to cook chicken.

The group exchanged glances; the price was outrageously high, ridiculously high. A single dish cost more than an average worker's monthly salary—it was shocking.

Turning to the second page, you'll find "Squirrel Mandarin Fish 88 yuan", "Steamed Sea Bass 88 yuan", "Sweet and Sour Carp 88 yuan", "Yangtze River Knife Fish 188 yuan", "Sesame Swordfish 188 yuan", and so on!

There were no fewer than thirty kinds of fish dishes. The more they flipped through the menu, the higher the prices became. There were more than a dozen dishes that cost over a thousand yuan per serving.

Yang Yuqing's uncle looked up at the pretty waitress, then at the prices, clicked his tongue, and asked, "Hey, young lady, are these dishes supposed to beautify your skin, cure diseases, or prolong your life? They're so expensive, aren't you worried about no one coming to eat them and the restaurant going out of business?"

The pretty waitress smiled slightly and said, "That's right. If you eat here regularly, you can achieve all the benefits you mentioned. If you eat here every day, you might even be able to reverse the aging process!"

The pretty waitress glanced around the lobby and said, "As for what you said about the prices being too high and the business going out of business, why don't you take a look at how many customers we have every day and how many people are waiting in line outside before you speak?"

The group looked up and scanned the people dining in the lobby. The women were all dressed up in their finest attire, looking like wealthy ladies, while the men were all dressed in suits and ties, exuding the air of successful men, and the watches on their wrists gleamed brightly under the lights.

One of Fu Zhenghong's underlings asked in confusion, "It's so hot outside today, how come it's so cool inside?"

The pretty waitress pointed to seven or eight standing air conditioners placed around the lobby and said, "These are air conditioners, bought from abroad. They can keep this place warm as spring in winter and cool it down in summer. Each one costs seven or eight thousand yuan!"

The group gasped again. Good heavens, that's quite a generous offer! Even if a worker worked for ten years without eating or drinking, he couldn't afford an air conditioner like this.

At that time, the price of black and white TVs varied greatly depending on the size, whether it was black and white or color, the brand, and the era. Black and white TVs cost about 200-700 yuan, while color TVs cost 1200-3000 yuan, and most required a ticket to purchase.

This air conditioner costs more than those two color TVs. Another henchman scoffed and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? You think eating your food will make you beautiful, cure diseases, and make you young again? Do you think your restaurant's food is some kind of magic pill?"

The pretty waitress rolled her eyes and said, "Believe it or not, if our food wasn't exceptional, why do you think all these people would eat here? Sometimes, we can't even get a seat until 10 or 11 p.m.!"
