Chapter 158 A pair of foodies who have no regard for their image
"Haha, thank you so much, senior! Just as the waiter said, you are generous, magnanimous and wealthy. No wonder I heard magpies calling when I went out today. It's such an honor to meet you!"
Shen Rugo laughed heartily and bowed respectfully to Wu Yuanshan.
After she gave him that bow, Wu Yuanshan couldn't renege on his debt.
Wu Yuanshan was even more furious, but his face was full of smiles as he said, "You are such a delicate and lovely child, I liked you at first sight. If you weren't a disciple of the Star Palace, I would definitely take you as my disciple."
"Thank you for your praise, senior."
"Waiter, bring me the fruit platter order form. I want to see what other specialty fruit platters you have that I like!"
Shen Rugo expressed her gratitude and then gave the waiter a meaningful look.
The waiter hurriedly ran out and returned with another order in the blink of an eye.
That was the menu, this is the fruit platter menu.
"Distinguished guest, our fruit platter comes in eighteen varieties, each one sweet and delicious, the finest of the finest."
The waiter started showing off his eloquence again, talking non-stop.
"I'll take this one, I've ordered this one, and one of this too..."
Shen Rugo ordered more than ten fruit platters in total.
"Honorable guest, all the fruit platters together cost 18,000 low-grade spirit stones."
The waiter quoted the price again and then happily withdrew.
"This Shen Rugo ordered a fruit platter worth nearly 20,000 low-grade spirit stones again?"
"If we add it all up, wouldn't it cost 120,000 to 130,000 low-grade spirit stones?"
"That's utterly shameless! They're treating this master and apprentice like suckers!"
As the waiter announced the price, murmurs arose in the distance.
Qinghe Daoist frowned secretly.
He really didn't want this meal to ruin Shen Rugo's reputation, as Shen Rugo was the rising star of their Star Palace.
"That bitch! She's swindled so many spirit stones from me again! I'll never let her get away with this! I'll kill her today!"
Hearing the crowd's discussion, Wu Xuemei secretly hardened her resolve.
Although we ordered the ten signature dishes first, the fruit platter was served first.
Shen Rugo was already starving, and as soon as the fruit platter was served, she immediately began to eat without any hesitation, making comments as she ate.
"These pine cones taste great, they're crunchy and fragrant."
"These sunflower seeds are salty and sweet, which suits my taste perfectly."
"I've never eaten this fruit before, and it really tantalized my taste buds."
Shen Rugo ate without any regard for her image, her mouth never stopping, while Wu Xuemei and her father were heartbroken to hear her shouting, "Eat! Eat until you die! Eat until you're stuffed to death!"
As for the others, their impression of Shen Rugo completely collapsed: "How can there be such an annoying child in the world? She has no taste at all."
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the waiter's loud voice rang out: "Steamed swan is here! This is our restaurant's best signature dish, meat from a level three spirit beast, the swan!"
Everyone then saw two graceful young women behind the waiter, each holding a large tray with a swan on it.
The swan seemed alive, its head held high.
As the two dishes were served, a fragrant aroma filled almost the entire third floor.
"This is what they call spirit beast meat and swan meat? It smells so good?"
Shen Rugo inhaled the fragrance, took a deep sniff, and drool dripped from the corner of her mouth.
Even though she had tasted all the world's delicacies in her previous life, she had never smelled such a fragrance.
"This little bitch is even drooling! She's such a country bumpkin who's never seen the world!"
Wu Xuemei kept secretly watching Shen Rugo, cursing inwardly once again.
"This child is drooling; it would be embarrassing if someone saw that."
Qinghe Daoren, quick-witted and agile, secretly wiped the drool from the corner of Shen Rugo's mouth with his sleeve.
Little did he know that as he wiped away Shen Rugo's drool, he himself started drooling.
He was also a foodie, and he only ate swan meat twice in his entire life.
"Honorable guest, please enjoy your meal!"
Two trays were placed on the private seating area, taking up almost a third of the space.
"Uncle-Master, let's each take one of these swans!"
Shen Rugo reached out and pulled a plate of swans in front of her.
"Let's each have one, and today we'll really enjoy Wangji Hotel's most famous signature dish!"
However, where there's food, there must be wine; before tasting this dish, you must first have a sip of fine wine!
With the swan meat served, Qinghe Daoren completely transformed into a foodie.
He opened the Spirit Monkey Wine, poured himself a cup, and then poured another cup for Shen Rugo.
He tilted his head back, savoring the aroma of the wine, and exclaimed, "Good wine!"
Then, he picked up a piece of swan meat, smelled it, and exclaimed, "Good meat!"
This time, he completely forgot to consider the feelings of Wu Xuemei and her father, and was completely immersed in the state of being a foodie and a drunkard.
As for Shen Rugo, she had already grabbed a piece of swan meat and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it incessantly. At the same time, she nodded like a chick pecking at rice, mumbling incoherently, "Such fragrant swan meat! I'm so grateful to this senior and this beautiful young lady. You are such kind people!"
The fact that Qinghe Daoren and Shen Rugo were completely absorbed in their pleasure made Wu Xuemei so angry that she almost vomited blood: "Eat until you die, choke until you die, stuff until you die!"
Other onlookers also shook their heads; these two were truly heartbreaking.
After the swan meat, the braised green dragon was served. Shen Rugo cheered again, put down the swan meat, and attacked the green dragon meat.
Then, one dish after another was served.
Almost every time a dish was served, Shen Rugo would cheer and rush to grab it.
Every cheer she let out drew curses from Wu Xuemei and contempt from other onlookers.
Soon, the table in the private room was overflowing.
"Waiter, bring another table over and put these dishes on it. Also, get me some bags, big enough to hold all these dishes!"
Shen Rugo said to the waiter while eating.
"Honorable guest, what do you need the bag for?"
The waiter was stunned.
"What are we doing? Of course, we're taking the leftovers home!"
With so much delicious food, Shen Rugo and Qinghe Daoren certainly couldn't finish it all, so of course they had to take it back and save it for later.
"Pack it up and take it with you?"
The waiter's eyes widened in disbelief.
He didn't understand what "packing up" meant, but he knew "taking away" meant taking the food with him.
The cultivators who come to Wangji Hotel are not short of spirit stones. They don't order food randomly; they just order enough to eat. No one takes any away, nor do they bother to take anything away.
"What's wrong with this?"
Shen Rugo looked at the waiter with a puzzled expression.
"But it seems like no one has ever taken it away!"
The waiter stammered.
Waste is shameful!
Every dish, every drop of wine, and every piece of meat was bought with spirit stones. How could we waste them? Of course, we should take them with us if we can't finish them!
Besides, why would I order so much food and wine if I wasn't planning to take it all away? Do you really think we're just good-for-nothings who can finish it all?
Shen Rugo reprimanded loudly, as if it were perfectly reasonable.
