Chapter 506 — Feng Xiaoxiao Orders
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Really?" Feng Xiaoxiao said with admiration. "Then I'll order?"
"Yes, go ahead," Wu Chengtian said, thinking to himself that girls really did like guys who put on airs. His strategy for pursuing Sun Jingyan had been somewhat flawed—in the past, he had always been careful to maintain his poise, pretending to be a refined gentleman in front of Sun Jingyan.
But seeing Feng Xiaoxiao's reaction today, Wu Chengtian felt that it was better to show a little swagger. With just this bit of showing off, even Feng Xiaoxiao, who already had a boyfriend, was looking at him in a new light.
Wu Chengtian felt as if he had been enlightened. He grew more certain that this meal was well worth treating. Not only had he achieved his goal, he had also learned a thing or two about courting women—a lesson money could hardly buy.
"Oh, then let's have one of each of these signature dishes," Feng Xiaoxiao said to the waiter, pointing at the signature dishes on the first page of the menu.
"Very good... but are you sure you want one of each?" the waiter carefully confirmed. The signature dishes on the first page were all far from cheap—each started at five hundred thousand, and their ingredients were flown in from abroad that very day.
"Um... Brother Chengtian, which of the signature dishes here taste good? You've tried them all, haven't you? Why don't we just pick a few?" Feng Xiaoxiao looked up at Wu Chengtian and asked cautiously. "If we order too much, I feel it'd be a bit wasteful..."
"The signature dishes here are all excellent. I've tried them all, and there's nothing to choose between them, so let's just order one of each!" When had Wu Chengtian ever tasted any of those signature dishes? At a moment like this, he naturally could not name a single one. To save face, he could only pretend he had tried them all and let Feng Xiaoxiao order the lot. How could he possibly admit that he had never eaten them and had no idea which was good?
Seeing that Wu Chengtian had confirmed it, the waiter naturally did not press further, for it was obvious that the host today was Wu Chengtian. And Wu Chengtian was an arrogant, domineering sort, carrying more or less the spoiled air of a rich young master, so the waiter was not worried that he would be unable to pay the bill.
"Very good. Please go on," the waiter said, noting down the signature dishes and gesturing to her politely with a smile.
"Well... actually, I'm not very good at ordering either. Why don't you recommend a few tasty dishes for me? I like seafood!" Feng Xiaoxiao said.
Hearing Feng Xiaoxiao's words, Wu Chengtian instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Seafood might be expensive, but not exorbitantly so. To ordinary people it was top-grade fare, but to the children of prominent families like theirs, such things were already commonplace.
What was the most expensive? Naturally, it was those rare and precious things seldom found in the world. He had genuinely feared that Feng Xiaoxiao might open her mouth and ask for some rare animal or other—that would be truly costly!
"For seafood, we have Hokkaido torpedo fish, Australian lobster, and Devonshire crab. These are all signature seafoods of our establishment. May I ask which grade the lady would like? The Hokkaido torpedo fish is divided into..." The waiter was about to explain, but Feng Xiaoxiao cut her off.
"Brother Chengtian, why don't we eat something cheaper? Something like what you'd get at a street food stall would be fine!" Feng Xiaoxiao said, a little embarrassed. "We've already ordered so many signature dishes. Why don't we just order some cheaper seafood now?"
"Cheaper? Why order cheap? We'll have the best of everything!" Wu Chengtian waved his hand, thinking to himself, how expensive can seafood be? It wasn't as if he'd never eaten seafood at five-star hotels—a whole meal there cost at most ten or twenty thousand!
"Very good. The finest Hokkaido torpedo fish is..." The waiter nodded and was about to make a recommendation.
