Chapter 359: Chapter 152: Cthulhu Soup Dumplings

"Two hundred yuan, I’ll eat whatever the owner serves!"

Listening to the man, Su Chen felt a headache coming on.

"Liu Shengnan, you’re good at math. Figure out how we should serve this guy’s order."

Sister Shengnan fiddled with the calculator for a while. "No matter how I calculate it, it doesn’t add up to exactly two hundred yuan. We either have to give him change, or he has to pay more."

"I don’t want your change! And I’m not paying you any more money. It’s exactly two hundred, so you just figure out what to serve me and that’s that!"

Su Chen was truly speechless.

First of all, this was a proper stall with clearly marked prices, not some random roadside stand that just sold whatever. Besides, there were so many people in line today.

If he paid two hundred, and the company gave him over two hundred yuan worth of food, wouldn’t that be unfair to the other customers?

But if they didn’t give him the full two hundred yuan worth of food, he could just casually mention it online, and the resulting drama would be a huge headache for the company to deal with. It would be asking for trouble for no reason.

"Option one: I can make you four dishes, for a total of 222 yuan."

"Option two: You order one less dish, and I’ll give you a few yuan in change."

The bald man just stood in front of the food truck. "No way! It’s two hundred, and I’ll eat whatever you serve..."

Hiss...

Su Chen closed his eyes for a moment. This guy was really getting on his nerves.

’He’ll do anything for views, won’t he?’

Fang Chang was also amused by the man. He was standing quietly outside the food truck, chatting with Zhan Yang who had just arrived.

"These streamers are actually kind of pitiful. It looks like they make a lot, but this way of earning money... well, I for one look down on it."

Zhan Yang glanced at him. "You can say that because you’re Boss Fang. In our city, people are fighting over jobs that pay three thousand a month. A streamer can make tens of thousands from a single video. Other people definitely don’t think like you."

The conversation was getting too deep, so Fang Chang didn’t respond. He wanted to see how Boss Su would handle the situation.

Unexpectedly, the next second, he was called out by name.

"Fang Chang?"

"What is it, Boss Su?"

Inside the food truck, Su Chen was stroking his chin, trying to recall something that was on the tip of his tongue. "I remember my company has a little blacklist notebook. Help me remember..."

"I actually know about that!" Fang Chang immediately brightened up. "It was Dali! That little kid, his sister, and that guy who was studying for the civil service exam. Those three are all on the blacklist!"

Speaking of which, that last incident had given Fang Chang quite a scare.

When he heard about the food poisoning incident at the "little dining table," the first thing he did was gather all the inspection reports for his meat products and his butcher shop’s business license. He was ready to provide this evidence as soon as Boss Su had things more or less under control.

Fortunately, the matter eventually fizzled out and didn’t end up affecting Fang’s Meat Industry.

After looking into it, Fang Chang found out that the little brat had secretly eaten a huge bowl of food while everyone else was napping, just because it was too delicious. He’d literally eaten himself sick!

After that, those few people were, naturally, added to the Delicious blacklist.

They were now in the category of "no business dealings" and "service refused."

Su Chen nodded. "Please add this gentleman to the blacklist as well."

The two-hundred-yuan guy was completely stunned. "What the hell? What blacklist? Boss Su, I’m here to eat! It’s just two hundred yuan, and the owner serves..."

Su Chen waved his hand impatiently. Fang Chang and Zhan Yang immediately grabbed the two-hundred-yuan guy and escorted him out of the line.

’The nerve of some people, honestly...’

It wasn’t that Su Chen couldn’t serve him.

’You’re a streamer. How you play your game is your business, but don’t you dare bring your rules to my place and try to use them on me.’

’Is that appropriate?’

As a former streamer of some renown himself, Su Chen had seen this kind of thing countless times.

It came back to the same thing: giving him more would be unfair to others, and giving him less would inevitably attract haters. Given the choice, it was better to just blacklist him!

Besides, he wasn’t desperate for this one customer’s business.

"This Boss Su is a bit willful, isn’t he..." Sui Po remarked, holding his bowl of rice mixed with scrambled eggs and tomatoes as he watched the commotion end.

Beside him, Old Tang pursed his lips and nodded. "Can a master not have a bit of a temper? Rules are rules, and they have to be followed. I think Boss Su did nothing wrong!"

These two food vloggers had once been involved in some online drama themselves, but neither had responded to the other.

Regardless of their private relationship, their public one appeared to be very amicable.

After a few more words of idle chat, the two returned to their respective tables to continue tasting the food.

Old Tang looked down. "Holy cow! Where’s my food? Who ate it all?"

His assistant looked at him, exasperated. "Teacher Tang, you just walked over there holding your plate to watch the show. You came back with an empty bowl and you already forgot?"

Old Tang thought for a moment, then looked at the camera sheepishly. "It’s delicious! The home-style dishes Boss Su makes are just too good. I’m going to get back in line, order another one, and then I’ll come back to give you all my review!"

Meanwhile, after finishing both the scrambled eggs with tomato and the Stir-Fried Yellow Beef, Sui Po wiped his mouth in satisfaction. "There’s nothing to fault with this cooking. It’s basically the pinnacle of home-style cuisine."

"It has all the flavors it’s supposed to have, while also maintaining the best possible texture and aroma. With other restaurants, I can taste a dish and get a rough idea of how it’s made. But with Boss Su’s cooking..."

At this point, Sui Po shook his head and chuckled. "There are so many aspects where I can’t even imagine what kind of technique Boss Su used. Alright, today’s bill was 222 yuan. It was just so delicious, I ate it all by myself!"

"In reality, these dishes are normally enough for four people, so it’s actually a great deal! Highly recommended!"
