"Don't come here like a sucker. Otherwise, go to the self-service area."
"This kind of place is suitable for elite people to do business, not for you."
Moran probably hadn't been to a barbecue restaurant before and didn't understand how expensive such places could be.
Even when eating hot pot, Bai Tianyu didn't say anything, but barbecue was a real rip-off.
Especially in Shanghai, where land is incredibly valuable, barbecue restaurants are extremely expensive, especially this one which even advertises itself as Korean barbecue.
"Huh? I don't know."
Moran was dumbfounded. According to Bai Tianyu, after this meal, she would probably lose her entire month's salary.
Wouldn't that mean we're doomed?
She's no longer a criminal investigator, and her salary is nowhere near what it used to be.
I only make five or six thousand a month at most. This meal is enough to bankrupt me.
But when she thought about the credit Bai Tianyu had given her, she felt a little guilty.
Because of that incident, she not only received a substantial bonus, but her superiors were also considering transferring her back to the criminal investigation team.
This was something she had always dreamed of, so she figured it wouldn't hurt to treat Bai Tianyu to a meal to express her gratitude.
Thinking of this, Moran pretended to be generous and said.
"It's okay, order whatever you like, I can handle it."
"Really? Should I really order it?"
"It's okay, order whatever you like. I promised to treat you to dinner."
"Alright then, waiter, give me one serving of all the beef on the menu."
"What would you like to drink?"
Chapter 217: Moran's Horror
"ah?".
"No, can you even eat that?"
When Mo Lan heard that Bai Tianyu had ordered one serving of every kind of beef, she was completely dumbfounded.
Bro, you're really not being polite.
Ordering pork is one thing, but beef is more than twice as expensive as pork.
In particular, Bai Tianyu ordered one of everything, with the menu listing about a dozen different cuts of beef.
The cheapest serving is around fifty yuan, and the most expensive is over a hundred yuan.
Omg!
I roughly calculated that this one meal would cost her about 800 to 1000 yuan.
Still want a beverage?
Drink my ass!
Zhou Shutong ruined me!
Moran's heart was bleeding, and she hurriedly waved her hand.
"We'll just drink tea, and we won't drink any sugary drinks that will make us fat."
Bai Tianyu noticed the change in Mo Lan's expression and immediately understood what she was thinking, secretly laughing to himself.
This girl is really adorably silly.
Although Moran promised to treat them, would Bai Tianyu really pay the bill?
how is this possible.
Bai Tianyu feigned confusion, wanting to tease Mo Lan.
"Are you really not going to drink?"
"No, no, we don't like drinking beverages."
"Alright then, give me a large lemon tea."
"OK, just a second."
After taking notes, the waiter turned and left.
Bai Tianyu looked at Mo Lan's expression and found it somewhat amusing.
When Zhou Shutong returned, she saw that Mo Lan's expression was quite interesting, while Bai Tianyu kept looking at Mo Lan with an undisguised smile on his face.
"What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Shutong sat down next to Mo Lan and asked in confusion.
She only stayed in the bathroom for ten minutes, so why was the atmosphere between the two of them so strange when she came out?
When Moran saw the culprit arrive, he hurriedly complained.
"You have the nerve to say that? The nice place you found for me has cost me two months' worth of food money for just this one meal."
"No way, the last time we came here, we only ordered five servings of meat and it only cost less than 300."
Zhou Shutong looked completely bewildered and blinked.
How could it possibly cost two months' worth of food expenses?
"Oh dear, he ordered more than a dozen dishes, all of them beef. That's why the price went up!"
Mo Lan whispered something in Zhou Shutong's ear, and Zhou Shutong was immediately speechless.
The way she looked at Bai Tianyu also became somewhat strange.
He's the only one who would order food so simply when a girl treats him to a meal.
Bai Tianyu ignored Zhou Shutong's gaze and stood up with a smile.
"I'm going to mix some barbecue seasoning, do you guys want to come along?"
"No need, we'll just sprinkle some cumin and chili powder, it's not that complicated."
Moran waved her hand dismissively, her heart bleeding at the thought of the money she would have to pay later.
I'm in no mood to make sauces.
Zhou Shutong, however, seemed to have noticed something and stood up.
"I'll go prepare some seasonings too. Moran, why don't you sit for a while?"
The two left, leaving Moran sitting alone in her seat, lost in thought.
"So, you figured it out?"
"Yes, although your clothes are very simple, the Patek Philippe on your wrist is not cheap."
"How could someone like you possibly make things difficult for Moran? You're here to settle the bill secretly, aren't you?"
Zhou Shutong's ability to get into police academy must mean she has excellent observation skills.
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do, this girl is a bit slow-witted."
Bai Tianyu shrugged and walked to the counter with a smile.
"Waiter, table 7, please order another dish and settle the bill in advance."
That little bit of meat isn't enough for Bai Tianyu to eat.
Of course, we'll order another one; he can eat it all by himself later.
"Okay, that's all..."
"Wait a minute, would you like some drinks? Moran was worried about the cost and didn't order any drinks earlier."
Before the waiter could finish calculating, Bai Tianyu looked at Zhou Shutong, who was mixing the seasonings, and asked.
"Oh, she didn't even order me a drink."
"I came out with her, and she won't even give me a drink?"
Zhou Shutong looked up, surprised.
"Two more lemon teas, large size, how much? Scan the code."
Without Zhou Shutong needing to say anything, Bai Tianyu already understood that she wanted to drink lemon tea.
Place your order directly, scan the QR code to pay, and get ready to leave.

"Okay, here is your invoice, please keep it safe."
After paying the bill, the waiter handed the invoice to Bai Tianyu.
Bai Tianyu casually prepared a few condiments: minced garlic, soy sauce, chili oil, and some side dishes.
Then he and Zhou Shutong returned to their seats.
"You guys are so slow, the baking tray has already arrived."
As soon as Moran returned to his seat, his complaints began.
Zhou Shutong rolled her eyes speechlessly and complained.
"How dare you say that? You can't even afford to buy me a drink?"
"Oh dear, I'm just worried about the money."
"Besides, a cup of lemon tea here costs twenty yuan, while a cup at Mixue only costs six yuan, enough for me to buy three cups."
0 ... ....
"I'll buy it for you after we finish eating and go out!"
Mo Lan hurriedly explained, and Zhou Shutong knew that Mo Lan really didn't have much money, so she stopped arguing with Mo Lan.
We chatted about gossip.
