Chapter 18: Montblanc Pens
(This chapter was extremely long in the raw, but, now it got shortened which honestly is surprising)
Chen Yan took the two menus with a smile, and did not read them. Instead, the gentleman handed one to Yu Qiaoqiao and one to Yang Nuan.
Chen Yan discovered the wonderful relationship in the dormitory.
Yu Qiaoqiao is a follower, and she doesn’t have the right to speak.
Zhao Ying is a silly elder sister. She has a strong "force" and can hold the place. She can come out to make a final decision when it is critical, but she is too lazy to take care of things.
The other three little sisters whose names are easy to forget how to bluff and are judgemental.
Only Yang Nuan is the soul of the entire dormitory.
If you asked Chen Yan to make a metaphor, then Zhao Ying is the "dad" of this dormitory, and Yang Nuan is the "mother". The other roommates simply surround them closely.
Although Yang Nuan will listen to Zhao Ying once she speaks, in fact, Yang Nuan makes the decision very often.
This is a smart girl.
Passing the menu, Chen Yan said to the two girls, "You can discuss it and see what you like."
Yu Qiaoqiao obediently took it, and then the three sisters quickly came over, surrounded her, and chatted together.
Yang Nuan smiled politely at Chen Yan and nodded.
Maybe in order to avoid spending Chen Yan’s money too much, a few girls didn't order much.
One serving per person, some ordered steak, others burgers, and a few chicken rolls.
In addition, only two snacks were added.
Even if the Internet celebrity restaurant is expensive, it does not exceed 600 yuan in total. ($94)
Looking at the meals ordered by a few girls, the face of the young lady at the front desk standing aside twitched.
Silly girls, you just order something like this?
You know, the man in front of me spent 40,000 yuan to book this place! ($6,294)
Eat freely!
Save yourself the trouble!
She didn't let the little sisters hear her, but Chen Yan clearly "heard".
When the little sisters finished ordering, the menu was handed to him.
Chen Yan flipped through the menu and glanced at it.
Then, he drew a circle around the entire menu, and said to the lady at the front desk, "Give me one of everything in this menu.”
"As for special dishes, add one more."
"We all want to taste it."
At that moment, the young lady at the front desk who had been holding back her frustration for an hour felt in a good mood.
That's right!
This is the demeanor of a rich man!
But, the girls were stunned.
"Wow." The three sisters sitting in the first row, their mouths opened wide. The happy movements of the three people were neat and looked incredibly funny.
Yu Qiaoqiao widened her eyes in surprise, and said, "Chen Yan. This is not good!"
She added carefully, "...it’s too expensive."
The young lady at the front desk was dying in a hurry.
I can't wait to cover the girl's mouth.
What is expensive!
Do you know how much money this gentleman spent!?
Chen Yan waved his hand, replying, "It's okay. It's not expensive. If you come out to eat, you have to taste it all."
"And... I'm a member of this restaurant, so I can get a discount."
After finishing his words, Chen Yan blinked at the young lady at the front desk, "Right?"
The young lady at the front desk nodded her head consciously, with a particularly sweet smile on her face, "Yes. Mr. Chen is a super member of our shop. So, everyone can eat without worry."
Yu Qiaoqiao bit her lip, still not persuaded, "But...we are only six or seven people, we can't finish eating so many orders."
"The rest would be wasted."
"This is not good..."
Chen Yan nodded, "Don't worry. If you can't finish eating, pack it."
"You won’t come here anytime soon, so you can eat it at a later time.”
Yu Qiaoqiao suddenly had nothing to say.
The three sisters were whispering at this time,
"Chen Yan is too generous."
"That's right. I have only seen "order one of everything in the menu" on TV, but I didn't expect to encounter it in reality."
"Yes! But, doesn't he look like..."
"Don't say that word anymore!"
"Shut up!"
"I know Chen Yan looks like Gu Tianyue, but you can't help but say it!"
(T/L: a character from soul land, weird reference)
".....”
The young lady at the front desk witnessed this scene and couldn't help but chuckle a bit
Then, she nodded towards Chen Yan, and went down to let the chef prepare the meal.
After a while, a series of exquisite meals began to be delivered.
He has to say that the taste of the things in the Internet celebrity shop is really only average, but the look is really beautiful.
It surprised Chen Yan.
For example, the cream strawberry cake, pink steam burger, dream cloud ice cream, Italian soft European buns, honey vanilla roast pork knuckle and so on. It's dazzling.
Of course, not everything is delicious, such as the honey-glazed roast pork knuckle and ice cream, however, in Chen Yan’s opinion, it is delicious.
So after eating, he simply ordered two more.
Compared to Chen Yan eating, the girls are much busier.
When a dish comes up, the phone must "eat" first.
A few pastries came up, the phone must "eat" first.
A table is full of food, and the phone has to be "eaten" first.
And, they don’t take a fixed photo, but they have to take a front shot, a side shot, and take them together. Anyway, a dish has to be taken three or four times.
So, when Chen Yan gnawed two pig hands, the girls hadn't started eating yet.
Among them, even Yu Qiaoqiao is not exempt as she had been taking several photos of the food, a bit of drool hanging in her mouth, making her seem cute.
But, the strange thing is that she would type a few words every time after filming, as if she was recording something.
The only girl who didn’t take pictures was Zhao Ying.
This girl really came here to eat. When other people took pictures, she and Chen Yan quietly gnawed on pig hands.
Chen Yan feels that he and she are really similar.
After taking various photos, the girls also started to chat and eat.
Girls may really be visual genders, as long as the food is beautiful, it will taste delicious.
It is also possible that the taste of this Internet celebrity restaurant is indeed more in line with the tastes of girls.
They were full of praise for this meal.
A few that Chen Yan thought were ordinary snacks were all praised as delicious, and the sisters whispered to discuss whether the snacks were made from black roses or rose flowers.
At that time, three black lines were hanging on Chen Yan's head: ‘Aren't these two flowers? It looks exactly the same…’
Both the host and the guest enjoyed it.
After eating, the young lady at the front desk led a few people to the toy room next to her, playing and chatting.
At this time, Chen Yan finally took out the highlight of tonight, the gift he had already prepared: ‘the six Montblanc fountain pens.’
Compared to when they were bought, these six pens have changed a bit: Chen Yan went to the convenience store to buy a ribbon and tied them.
This results in a pen that appears low-key, rich, and attractive, but has a sense of vulgarity that obscures its initial luxury.
Of course, Chen Yan did this deliberately...
