I can see the commodity price curve

When Xiaobai heard Zhang Yue's words, he nodded quickly: "Okay."

Then he asked Jingjing: "Which part do you want to eat?"

Jingjing looked at Xiaobai, then at Zhang Yue, her face full of confusion.

After chatting with Xiaobai just now, she knew that her old classmate was not financially well off.

Especially since I've been unemployed recently.

This lobster is so big that the restaurant must sell it for at least several thousand yuan.

With so many people here, it is impossible to order only this one dish.

So the question is, Xiaobai may go bankrupt because of this meal, and even have to bear huge debts.

This is what she doesn't want to see.

He forced a smile and said quietly, “I don’t really like lobster.

Not only lobsters, I'm not particularly fond of seafood.

Let’s just have some home-cooked food.”

Jingjing's mother also nodded: "Yes, no need to make it too complicated, just eat something casually."

Aunt Xiaobai is her good friend, and she doesn’t want to make the relationship too stiff.

However, Yang Wei glanced at Jingjing and said, "Wait, that's not right!

I remember you said before that your favorite food is seafood.

Especially lobster, I never get tired of eating it.

Of course, this lobster is much larger than the ones we usually eat.

But the bigger the lobster, the better it tastes.

You really don’t want to eat it? If not, then I’ll eat it.”

After saying that, he was about to take it, but was stopped by Zhang Yue: "Wait, why didn't I see you just now?

Who are you? "

Yang Wei glanced at Zhang Yue, then rolled his eyes: "Who I am has nothing to do with you?"

Zhang Yue shook his head: "Who you are certainly has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with my brother Bai."

Zhang Yue pointed at Xiao Bai and said, "To be honest, today is my brother Bai's big day.

In order to treat Miss Jingjing to a meal, he specially arranged a lunch of the highest standard.

Outsiders are not welcome to join this meal.

So sir, I'm sorry.

Please leave immediately."

Yang Wei didn't expect Zhang Yue to say that, and his face turned red instantly.

After all, under normal circumstances, the host will not easily chase people away unless there are special circumstances.

Because everyone cares about their own face.

This was the first time in his life that he had seen someone like Zhang Yue who spoke so directly and as if it was a matter of course.

Seeing Yang Wei in a daze, Zhang Yue repeated, "You can leave now."

"You..." Yang Wei looked dissatisfied, "Why should I leave?

You ask me who I am, and I'll tell you.

I'm Jingjing's colleague, and I came here today specifically to see her.

I didn’t expect anyone to treat her to a meal because I was planning to treat her myself.”

He turned his head and looked at Xiao Bai: "Brother, I'm a little hungry and don't want to change places at the last minute.

How about this, you treat me today and let me sit next to you and eat a little.

Of course, I won't eat your food for free, how about we split the bill in half?"

In fact, when it comes to half and half, Yang Wei is at a disadvantage.

But he himself was somewhat in the wrong for visiting so suddenly.

And in Yang Wei's opinion, he would pay half of the money, not only for his own meals, but also for Jingjing's meals.

This way Jingjing won't have to owe the other person any favors.

He knew Jingjing's character. If she really owed someone a favor, she would definitely find a way to repay it.

The two of them are now on a blind date, and judging from Jingjing's performance, it seems that they are not averse to each other.

This made him feel a deep sense of crisis.

If Jingjing were to take the initiative to find the other party to repay the favor, after a few interactions, maybe sparks of love would fly between the two of them.

Then it will be too late to regret.

Xiaobai was a little stunned.

The other party wants to share half of the food money with you?
With his generous personality, since he is treating us, he will just treat us.

One more person doesn't matter at all.

But even though he feels good, he is not stupid.

Yang Wei had no good intentions when he came this time.

It might even be that he came just to ruin his blind date.

If it had happened in the past, if the other party had provoked me like this, I would have hit him with my fists a long time ago.

But after several years of social experience, he knew very well that at best, the relationship between him and Jingjing was just old classmates catching up.

As for developing into the relationship as lovers, that's simply impossible.

First of all, the two people work in different cities.

If we really want to fall in love, it will be a long-distance relationship.

If it is a free love, a long-distance relationship can still be maintained for a period of time relying on the feelings of both parties.

But forget about blind dates!
The probability of success for a long-distance blind date is almost zero.

Secondly, there is the economic issue.

I don’t even have a job now and my savings are almost gone.

It's a typical situation of being in danger of losing one's position at any time. If this continues, it won't be impossible for him to become a famous Sanhe god.

Although Jingjing didn't say what she was doing, judging from her demeanor and dress, she should have a very decent job.

Coupled with her beautiful appearance, there is no shortage of men pursuing her.

Yang Wei is a good example.

His only advantage is that he and the other party are classmates.

But how many points can this kind of relationship with classmates in junior high school add to myself?
Therefore, Xiaobai acted indifferent to the relationship between him and Jingjing from the very beginning.

Thinking of this, he nodded: "Okay!

If you're willing to pay half the price of the meal, sit down and eat."

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Yue somewhat embarrassedly.

What Zhang Yue said just now was entirely to speak up for himself.

But if he agreed to Yang Wei, it would be tantamount to undermining Zhang Yue's plan in person.

Although he didn't care, he still had to consider Zhang Yue's face.

As a result, Zhang Yue secretly gave Xiaobai a thumbs up and moved his lips slightly.

Although he didn't make any sound, Xiaobai could still tell what he was going to say:
Well done!

noob:"?"

What's going on? If I agree to pay for half of the meal, then I'm doing a good job?
I don't quite understand.

But he soon felt relieved.

Regardless, Zhang Yue did not blame himself for what he said.

He likes making friends, and as long as Zhang Yue is fine, then it's fine.

Just then, Jingjing said, "Hey, aren't you going to peel a lobster for me? Go ahead!"

Xiao Bai was stunned: "Didn't you just say...

Oh, I see, wait a minute."

He reached out and grabbed the lobster, then tore it hard, and the huge lobster was torn into two pieces.

Xiaobai picked up the spoon, scooped out the lobster roe and put it on Jingjing's plate: "Try it."

She nodded quietly, picked up the spoon and took a bite, then her face was full of intoxication.

She gave Xiaobai a thumbs up and said, "This lobster was slaughtered on the spot. It's really delicious."

"As long as you like it." Xiaobai looked at the others and said, "Everyone, please feel free to eat!"

Then he handed one lobster claw to Jingjing's mother and the other one to his aunt.

Finally eat the lobster body.

Use chopsticks to take out the meat inside and give one portion to each of the mother, Zhan Susu, Zhang Yue and others.

When the division was almost complete, only he and Yang Wei were left.

Xiao Bai was a little embarrassed, so he picked up two lobster claws and handed them to Yang Wei: "Here, try it and see how it tastes." Yang Wei: "..."

So it's such a big lobster, and if you each got a portion, there would be nothing left for me, right?

And you want me to eat lobster legs?
Is there meat in this thing?
No, it seems a bit meaty.

Thinking that I had paid half of the money, it would be a real loss if I didn’t eat a single bite.

So he began to fight with the lobster legs.

While we were eating, another waiter came over.

This time the other party was holding a super big crab.

This is the king crab that we often see on mobile phones.

However, this crab was also very huge. Just one crab took up half of the table.

Yang Wei's eyes lit up and he was about to take action.

You can’t eat lobster yourself, but it’s okay to eat king crab.

Especially such a big king crab, even with his wealth, it was the first time he had seen one.

It must be delicious!

However, just as he was about to make a move, a hand pulled the king crab aside.

It’s Zhang Yue.

He opened the lid of the king crab with a smile, revealing the crab roe inside.

The only difference is that king crabs are different from ordinary crabs in that they do not have much crab roe.

It's such a big one, but there's only a little bit left after opening it.

Zhang Yue scooped out the roe from the king crab and put it on Zhan Susu's plate: "Here, ladies first, Manager Zhan, you eat."

Zhan Susu glanced at Zhang Yue because everyone was staring at her at the moment.

This made her a little embarrassed.

However, Zhang Yue's expression remained unchanged, and he said to everyone: "Don't you know Manager Zhan? Let me introduce him to you.

Manager Zhan is the financial manager of October Food Factory and also oversees the finances of Guoyue Pharmaceutical Factory.

As an ordinary employee of October Food Factory, although my status is average, Manager Zhan still trusts me very much.

The reason why we were late just now was that Manager Zhan wanted to visit People's Park but was not familiar with the way.

We decided to go with her.

As for Xiaobai, he wanted to join the October Food Factory, so he followed there, hoping to show himself in front of Manager Zhan.

After examining Xiaobai, Manager Zhan felt that he had outstanding abilities and was fully qualified to work at the October Food Factory.

Xiaobai, now I'll give you a chance.

Are you willing to join October Food Factory? "

Xiao Bai was a little stunned, but he reacted very quickly: "Of course I am willing.

October Food Factory is my most ideal workplace. If I can work there, I will have no regrets in my life."

Zhang Yue immediately gave the other party a thumbs up: "Well said!

October Food Factory likes young people like you who are honest, have ideals, goals, dare to fight and are aware of personal praise and criticism.

So welcome to join October Food Factory.”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand.

Xiaobai subconsciously shook hands with Zhang Yue: "Thank you!
I will definitely continue to work hard and live up to Manager Zhan’s trust.”

Zhang Yue nodded, and then said to Yang Wei: "This is Xiao Bai's superior now, do you still have any doubts?"

Yang Wei shook his head.

Now that you have said this, what else can I doubt?
Zhang Yue chuckled, picked up a king crab claw and put it on his plate, and gave one to Xiaobai's mother.

Then he started to distribute it to other people. They all got almost the same amount, and finally Yang Wei was the only one left.

And in Zhang Yue's hand, there was also only one crab leg, and it was the smallest one.

He put the crab legs on Yang Wei’s plate and said, “Come on, brother, I saw that you really liked to eat the legs just now.

So feel free to create it!"

Yang Wei: “…”

At this moment, he really wanted to say: You are the one who likes to eat legs, your whole family likes to eat legs.

But in order to maintain his composure, he chose to respond with a smile.

Then the waiter brought the third course.

The third dish is called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is served in white bowls.

But this kind of bowl is much larger than ordinary porcelain bowls.

After seeing the waiter bringing the dishes, Zhang Yue quickly stood up and took out two and handed them to Xiaobai first.

Xiaobai understood and handed the two, one to Jingjing and one to Jingjing's mother.

At this time, Zhang Yue had already distributed Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to Xiaobai's aunt, Xiaobai's mother, Zhan Susu and others.

Until the last person, Yang Wei, was assigned, an embarrassing scene happened.

There is one less Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Zhang Yue was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you would come suddenly, so I asked for it according to the number of people.

But it’s okay, waiter, give us another serving.”

The waiter was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang!

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is very troublesome to prepare because it involves many steps.

These are all the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall we have today. If you really want to eat it, you have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest.”

After saying this, he looked at Zhang Yue with a strange expression.

When the other party was ordering the dishes just now, he asked how many Buddha Jumps Over the Wall were left.

Then he generously said that he would pay for it all and asked the waiter to serve a large bowl to each person according to the number of people.

This is also the reason why the bowls we use now are larger than ordinary porcelain bowls.

You've already bought it yourself, but you're still asking us for it. Aren't you making things difficult for us?

Zhang Yue was also obviously stunned for a moment: "Is that so? I'm sorry!
Do you have egg and sour soup?"

"If you want, we can make it now."

"Then give this gentleman a bowl."

Zhang Yue smiled and pointed at Yang Wei. The waiter nodded: "Okay, please wait."

After the waiter left, Zhang Yue said to Yang Wei, "Is this your first time in Henan Province?
To be honest, we came across a very classic soup.

It is made with garlic sprouts, tofu, eggs and other ingredients, and has both the spiciness of pepper and the sourness of vinegar.

Very delicious and refreshing.

This bowl of soup is usually served at every banquet we have here.

In addition, it is always served as the last dish and because it contains beaten frangipani, we also call it rolling egg soup.

What I mean is, this is the last dish, so eat it and leave quickly, and don’t get in the way.

Doesn’t that sound interesting?”

Yang Wei's eyelids twitched. He suspected that the other party said this on purpose.

But he has no evidence.

The waiter then continued to serve the dishes, and after the first three courses, the food finally became normal.

For example, the fourth dish is a plate of cold beef.

Yang Wei was finally able to eat normally.

However, the good times didn’t last long, as the fifth dish was steamed giant oysters.

Zhang Yue still counted according to the number of people, but there was still no portion for Yang Wei.

But this time it was a little different. Zhang Yue waved his hand and asked the waiter to make two more servings for Yang Wei.

Steaming oysters is very quick and can be served in no time.

However, Yang Wei was no longer in the mood to eat.

Seeing these people eating with more excitement than each other, he could only sit there and wait.

Even when the oysters were served later, he still felt like he was eating leftovers.

As time passed, the dishes ordered by Zhang Yue appeared on the table one after another.

However, the originally happy atmosphere became a little cold.

The reason is simple. The dishes ordered by Zhang Yue either have very rare ingredients or complicated preparation processes.

No matter which one, they all have one thing in common, which is expensive.

So how much does a meal like this cost?
