Cosmic Trading System
Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Shock

"If you want to back out now, there's no issue. I'll arrange for your money to be refunded immediately."

Hearing Lin Yun's words, Feng Lianggong's face turned beet red.

Hadn't he just been trying to create an impression that he wasn't concerned about the money?

Now, he felt that Lin Yun's words were a hard slap in his face.

However, you all have to pay for your meal, because I never intended to treat you."

Lin Yun's last words were like tossing their dignity on the floor and stomping on it repeatedly.

No matter what he did next, his face was bound to hit the floor.

"This..."

Everyone was rendered speechless.

By then, they had realized that Lin Yun wasn't interested in swindling money but was aiming directly at the Tianyu Group.

This made them revive their initially positive impression of Lin Yun.

Meanwhile, Feng Lianggong's flip-flop had drastically spoiled the slightly improving perception they had of him.

Did a bill of slightly more than one million cause such a violent reaction from him?

It seemed that he was not as calm as he had appeared initially.

Those who keep things to themselves without speaking up are the ones to be fearful of.

Moving back to the main topic.

After hearing Lin Yun's casual comment, they were eager to see how Feng Lianggong would react.

A spectator's mentality was already creeping into their hearts.

"I want to taste for myself what's so extraordinary about this restaurant's dishes," Feng Lianggong's complexion changed multiple times until eventually, he ground his teeth and announced.

At this moment, anything he said made him feel uncomfortable. After a moment's thought, he decided to shift his attention to the dishes served at the restaurant.

Did Lin Yun claim that the dishes were exceptional?

As long as he tasted them and then mocked and insulted them, he might be able to retrieve some face. At that time, whether he would pay for their meals, not pay, or pay partially, would depend on the specific circumstances then.

Food, everybody has different tastes. Whether it's delicious or not, isn't it up to him to decide?

Even if some were tasty, he could still criticize them as unpalatable.

Thinking this way, he even admired his own quick wit to divert the topic.

In the course of his talking, he once again picked up his chopsticks and began to taste the dishes on the table.

"This..."

Very soon, Feng Lianggong's eyes widened in disbelief.

The food…He had never tasted something this delicious in his life?

He had eaten some very famous dishes before, each one quite expensive, the most expensive even reaching fifty to sixty thousand per dish, which he had felt was the most delicious food he'd ever had. However, at this moment, he realized that even the fifty or sixty thousand-dollar dish fell short in comparison to the one he was tasting.

It was on a completely different level.

Yes, that was the feeling.

How could he pretend and say that these dishes were not delicious under such circumstances?

However, he was having a hard time believing how such an ordinary looking dish could taste so extraordinarily delicious?

He then began to sample the next dish.

"Gasp—"

Feng Lianggong drew in a sharp breath,

Unbelievably, it was also delicious!

Switching to another dish!

Just as exceptional!

Feng Lianggong's face turned ashen; he was at a loss for words.

If this were a different setting, he would have been overjoyed to taste such delicious food.

However, at this moment, he found it impossible to feel any joy.

"What's happening?"

"Why isn't he saying anything?"

Many people who had been watching the unfolding events started commenting in surprise.

A few of the sharper wholesalers took the hint and hurriedly began to taste the dishes.

"Hiss——"

The next moment, many people gasped in surprise.

"It's actually so delicious!"

"It's so tasty!"

"I have never tasted such delicious food before?"

"Oh my god, is this a tomato? I have never tasted such a delicious tomato!"

Expressions of shock and disbelief echoed throughout the room.

"Hurry, Old Liu, you must try this dish!"

"Eat quickly..."

"Damn, this really is an eye opener. I'll have to eat a lot..."

Voices filled with excitement rang out all around.

"Clack-Clack-Clack——"

The sound of chopsticks picking up food filled the room.

"Clang-Clang-Clang——"

As plate after plate was wiped clean, the clinking of chopsticks against dishes joined the clamor.

With over a hundred people eagerly vying to fetch food, the scene was truly spectacular.

Some people, who had initially planned to sip on their drinks, couldn't care less anymore.

"Is the food over there... really that tasty?"

"Could they be plants?"

"If they are plants, then the cost of the setup is just too high. Moreover, these people don't look like plants. Could the food over there actually be that delicious?"

Although it was already past dining hours, there were still customers in the restaurant who watched this spectacle unfold, utterly puzzled.

The restaurant was quite large, and they were seated too far away to hear what Lin Yun and Feng Lianggong were saying.

"Waiter, are the dishes they're having different from ours? They seem to be enjoying their food so much, while what I have tastes mediocre. I must tell you, if that's the case, it seems really unfair." One of the customers flagged down a waiter nearby, and said with a frown.

"Exactly, aren't the dishes on both sides the same? We shouldn't be treated differently!"

"You need to explain yourself..."

The surrounding people nodded in agreement.

"I'm really sorry, gentlemen, ladies. The dishes they are having were newly introduced in our restaurant and were being served for the first time. They were arranged by our boss for certain guests." The waiter quickly explained.

"Your boss?" The people, who were planning on saying something, were left speechless by the waiter's explanation.

Those dishes were being served for the first time, and on top of that, they were arranged by the restaurant owner for some guests. What else could they say?

"Then hurry up and serve us two plates of whatever they are having. Seeing them enjoy their food so much, I'm itching to see what's so tasty about it." One of them quickly made a suggestion, as if he'd thought of something.

"That's right, waiter. Serve us two plates as well. We don't care what you serve us, we're not short on money!"

"Serve us two plates as well, and make sure it's your new dishes. The ones they have on their table over there, the ones that seem tasty."

The others eagerly followed suit.

Seeing how popular the food on the other side was, they couldn't help but feel intrigued.

"Alright, gentlemen, ladies. Here's the new menu from our restaurant, you can pick what you want to have," the waiter nodded and said.

While speaking, she quickly grabbed the recently received menus from nearby and handed them out to the customers.

"Alright, let's see what dishes they have."

"There's a menu? That's good. I'll see if there's anything I'd like."

Seeing that there was a menu, those who had said they didn't care what they got served no longer seemed in a rush. They took the menu and nodded in agreement.

"Smashed cucumber... scrambled eggs with tomatoes...doesn't seem too different from usual...wait, what? Smashed cucumber costs one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight? Scrambled eggs with tomato, one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine? Bamboo shoots stir-fried with pork, two thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight?"

"Damn!"

"How...how can it be so expensive? Could your restaurant have misprinted the prices?"

After one person noticed it and exclaimed in shock, everyone else also noticed it and voiced their astonishment.

They were genuinely amazed.

Smashed cucumber for one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, scrambled eggs with tomato for one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, the rest of the dishes, none of them were below one thousand. Some of the signature dishes even cost five to six thousand or seven to eight thousand. The most expensive dishes even reached over ten thousand, twenty thousand, and thirty thousand.

Had the restaurant owner gone crazy? How could they dare to charge such exorbitant prices?

"Gentleman, ladies, the prices are not misprinted. You get what you pay for. These new dishes are made with special ingredients and the cost is indeed high. But, they are also very tasty, and they can match up to the signature and high-priced dishes in top-notch restaurants," the waitress politely explained.
