After that, Gerald added the luxury private room that was worth more than two thousand five hundred dollars per
head.
Those who
could be in the luxurious private room were naturally the most popular students
in the classroom—
Danny, Xavia,
Yuri, Cassandra, Gerald and his roommates, and last but not least, Naomi.
The other
students could only head to the other private room.
“Yuri, since we’re already in this super luxurious private
room, who would place the order for food today?”
Gerald asked
as he smiled at this time.
“Don’t you
have any manners at all? Yuri is our guest today so it is only natural for him
to order what he
wants to eat
first! Why? Are you afraid that Yuri will order too much and you won’t be able
to afford to pay
for dinner
tonight?” Xavia suddenly said in a contemptuous manner.
Of course,
Yuri had to order some food first. Otherwise, Xavia was afraid that Gerald
would only order spicy
and sour
potato shreds.
If that was
really the case, then their plan to spend all of Gerald’s money would not work
at all.
In fact, when
they were in Yuri’s car on the way to the restaurant, they had already
discussed this matter with
Danny and the
other boys.
They were
planning to make Gerald pay more than tens of thousands of dollars for the
dinner tonight.
After that,
they had to make sure that he spent an additional ten thousand dollars at
least. They wanted Gerald
to pay at
least twenty thousand dollars or more for the dinner tonight. Moreover,
Yuri had
already decided to
combine forces
and financial resources with Danny to defeat Gerald tonight.
That would be more than enough!
“Alright then.
Just order whatever you want to!” Gerald replied as he smiled bitterly.
Harper, who
was sitting at the side, kept nudging Gerald to remind him of the situation but
Gerald simply shook
his head,
motioning for them not to worry about him because he knew what he was doing.
“Alright then,
thank you!”
Yuri took the
menu in his hand before he started looking at the menu from the last page.
After all,
Homeland Kitchen’s signature dishes were all listed on the last few pages of
the menu and these were
the more
expensive dishes.
“The
Australian big lobster! The Australian abalone!”
Danny and the
rest of the boys observed the expression on Gerald’s face as Yuri continued
ordering some of the
signature
dishes. They wanted to see the anxious and tangled expression on his face.
However,
Gerald was still indifferent and he showed no fear on his face at all.
Even though
Yuri was ordering the food at this time, he was still calculating in his heart.
After all, he
only had three thousand to four thousand dollars left for the month and Danny
only had one
thousand five hundred dollars. That meant that they only had
a total of five thousand five hundred dollars to
splurge today.
In other
words, they had to make sure that they did not spend more than ten thousand
dollars today.
Otherwise they
would really be embarrassed when they couldn’t afford to settle the bill.
Yuri ordered
some of the famous signature dishes from the last few pages of the menu.
After doing
the math, he realized that the four dishes that he ordered would already amount
to four thousand
five hundred
dollars, excluding the cost of wine and liquor.
After that,
Yuri handed the menu over to Gerald with a cold expression on his face.
Even though he
was going to spend a lot of money here today, he was more than willing to do so
because he
wanted Gerald
to spend all the money that he had here today. Otherwise, he would feel very
uncomfortable.
“What? You
only ordered four of the signature dishes from the last few pages of the menu?
That would only cost
around three
thousand dollars!”
Gerald laughed
out loud at this time.
“What do you mean by that? You can pick more of the signature
dishes if you want to. Anyway, you can never
compare to
Yuri no matter what you do!”
Xavia was
extremely dissatisfied when she saw Gerald mocking Yuri.
At this time,
Cassandra, who was on her cell phone, could only shake her head slightly as she
listened in on
the
conversation.
She thought
that Gerald was really stupid. How could he possibly compare and compete with
someone like Yuri
when he only
had that small sum of money that he had won from the lottery?
“Waitress, how
many signature dishes are there on the menu?” Gerald looked at the waitress as
he smiled.
“Sir, there
are a total of twenty signature dishes on the menu and all of these are the top
dishes in Homeland
Kitchen. Only
the wealthiest people can usually afford to order four of these signature
dishes at one go! The
price of these
four dishes already amount to around four to five thousand dollars. What
ordinary dishes would
you like to
add on to your order?”
“Oh, so that
is it?”
Gerald closed
the menu immediately.
“Alright then, just bring us all twenty signature dishes from
the menu. We will enjoy it slowly!”
“What?”
The waitress
was shocked and she dropped her ordering machine on the floor.
The twenty
dishes would probably cost more than fifteen thousand dollars!
Oh my god!
She had never
served food like this before!
“Damn it!
Gerald, are you insane? The price of these twenty signature dishes and the
package will amount to at
least twenty
thousand dollars!”
Danny was
shocked.
Yuri also felt
very nervous as he calculated the amount of money that he had on hand.
Initially, he was just
trying to play
around with Gerald so that he could humiliate him. However, he did not expect
this reaction from
Gerald at all.
Gerald could
see the abnormal expression on Yuri’s face and he realized that he
had been silent
all this while.
Gerald smiled
before he said, “Yuri, why don’t we order some drinks? Why aren’t
you sa
ying anything
at all? ARe
the dishes
I’ve ordered too expensive for you?”
“How could it possibly be too expensive for me? You can dream
on! This is just a small sum of money to me. I’m
just afraid
that you wouldn’t be able to pay for all the three tables downstairs with just
thirty thousand
dollars! I’m
afraid that you’d embarrass all of us here today,” Yuri retorted immediately.
Was a pauper
who everyone looked down on actually ridiculing him at this time?
This was
totally unacceptable!
“Yeah, Gerald
do you even know what you’re doing now? Yuri might be splitting the bill with
you for the
luxurious
private room but you have to remember that you still have to foot the bill for
the three tables that
you’ve booked
downstairs too! Although they have not ordered any of the signature dishes, I’m
sure they must
have also
ordered drinks for each table! That would definitely cost you a few thousand
dollars already!”
“Are you sure
you’ll be able to pay for the dinner tonight or are you just trying to save
face when you order
all those
items? Remember that this is Homeland Kitchen on Mayberry Commercial Street!”
The girls who
were close to Xavia were already worried at this time.
“Don’t worry,
I know what I’m doing. Moreover, I have Yuri here with me. Since Yuri has said
it’s okay, we
should order some drinks too!”
Gerald turned around
before he asked the waitress, “By the way, how old is the red wine that you
serve here?”
“We have quite
an extensive collection of red wines. The oldest red wine is from 1995 and it’s
a bottle of
luxury wine
that costs one thousand and five hundred dollars.”
The waitress
immediately recommended Gerald the most expensive wine in the restaurant when
she saw that Gerald
was so
generous anyway.
Gerald could
just reject the offer. After all, the dishes were already so expensive.
Secondly, if Gerald did
not want to
reject the offer, she would be able to earn more commission anyway.
One thousand
five hundred dollars for a bottle of red wine?
When Danny and
Yuri heard the price of the red wine, they broke out in cold sweat immediately.
Even Cassandra
and Xavia were
taken aback at this time.
“Gerald, I’m
warning you that you’d better calculate and keep track of how much you can
afford to pay for
dinner
tonight. Otherwise, you might end up not having enough money to pay for the
dinner tonight!”
Xavia was also
feeling a little afraid because of the amount of money that they
were spending
tonight. She was
really afraid that Gerald would order another two bottles of
red wine on impulse.
“Bring a box
of that red wine here!”
Unexpectedly,
Gerald placed the order for the red wine without any hesitation at all.
There were six
bottles of red wine in a box.
Wouldn’t that
amount to more than nine thousand dollars?
