234 Why Don’t I Give Him My Daughter To Pay Off My Debt?
“How… How much is it? 2,000 yuan per kilogram? Isn’t this robbery?”
Cao Lan was dumbfounded.
2,000 yuan for half a kilogram of beef.
This was the first time she had heard of it.
If it had to be put this way…
The few mouthfuls she had just eaten had already cost her a few hundred yuan, right?
Chen Xuan laughed when she heard that. “What I just said, it’s only the price at the place it’s produced.”
“If it’s really imported into our country, because of the tariffs and so on, there are also businesses that want to make profits…”
“The final land price is estimated to be more than 10,000 yuan per kilogram.”
“What the f*ck? Tens of thousands per kilogram?” Many of Ye Baoguo’s neighbors at the banquet started eating when they heard how expensive the beef was.
The plates of beef on each table were instantly divided up.
“This is beef that is worth tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram? I don’t think it’s any different from what we usually eat.”
“Who says there’s no difference? It’s much stronger in texture and melts as soon as it enters the mouth.”
“But it’s not worth tens of thousands of yuan. How much of our beef can you buy with that much money?”
“Why else would you be poor? It’s because you don’t know how to enjoy it that the rich people pursue this kind of taste.”
“Sigh, poverty has limited my imagination!”
She watched them eat with relish.
Those who had previously ‘defected’ to the Tan family were drooling.
Compared to the delicacies at Ye Feng’s side, the food here was as difficult to swallow as pig feed.
Cao Lan recovered from her shock and looked at Ye Feng and the rest with embarrassment.
“I’m really sorry. I didn’t know that the beef was so expensive. I’ve already eaten half a plate.”
Ye Feng smiled without minding it. “If you like it, eat more.”
Cao Lan quickly waved her hand. “You guys eat. I’ll just eat this plate of mushrooms.”
As she spoke, she picked up a few pieces of mushroom-shaped food from another plate and put them in her mouth.
“Yes, these mushrooms are also very delicious. You guys try them.”
She chewed two mouthfuls and was immediately drooling.
She hurriedly recommended it to everyone.
At this moment, Qiao Sixi, who was at the side, introduced, “This is not a mushroom. This is white truffle that was air flown over from Italy.”
Cao Lan looked at him in confusion. “What is white truffle? Isn’t this a mushroom? Do you need to air transport it from Italy?”
Qiao Sixi had a headache, but he still explained patiently.
“This white truffle is also known as the ‘white diamond’. It can’t be cultivated by man, only found in the wild. You need to use a search dog to slowly search for it, so the price is also very expensive.”
Cao Lan looked at him in a daze. “Very expensive? How expensive is it? Can it be more expensive than Wagyu beef?”
Qiao Sixi scratched his head. “The white truffle we’re purchasing this time probably costs 10,000 yuan per kilogram just in terms of raw material cost.”
“If you include transportation, labor, and taxes…”
“Indeed, it’s still far above the price of Wagyu beef.”
“Pfft…”
Cao Lan almost spat out the white truffle in her mouth.
She hurriedly caught it with her hands.
Then, she stuffed it back into her mouth.
10,000 Yuan per kilogram, and that was only the cost of raw materials?
This was really asking for her life!
One kilogram of white truffle was enough for her to earn for half a year.
Wasn’t this too extravagant?
The people at the other tables heard this and started to fight for the white truffle again.
The people from the Tan family swallowed their saliva as they watched.
At the same time, they were also shocked by Ye Feng’s boldness.
A single dish from the other side was enough to cover the price of a table of dishes on their side.
This was the difference!
After the first two lessons, Cao Lan did not dare to move her chopsticks anymore.
She looked at the others with eager eyes.
Ye Feng wanted to laugh when he saw her current state.
He immediately pushed the plate in front of him over.
“Auntie, try this.”
“Is this dish expensive?” Cao Lan probed.
Ye Feng shook his head. “Not expensive.”
Cao Lan was relieved. She lowered her head and looked at the dish.
In the small plate, there was a pea-sized grain of food.
The grains were all a faint golden color.
It looked delicious.
She immediately picked up a small spoon, scooped a spoonful from the plate, and put it into her mouth.
The grains melted in her mouth and were extremely delicious!
Ye Feng smiled evilly. “Auntie, is it good?”
Cao Lan quickly nodded. “It’s delicious.”
Ye Feng placed the entire plate in front of her. “If it’s delicious, eat more.”
Cao Lan was quite polite. “Don’t just let me eat. You guys eat together.”
Ye Feng shook his head. “We can’t afford it.”
Cao Lan was stunned. “What do you mean?”
Ye Feng turned to look at Qiao Sixi. “How much is this caviar?”
Qiao Sixi immediately replied respectfully, “This Alma caviar is collected from an endangered animal, the albino sturgeon. It’s very rare. It’s about 200,000 yuan per kilogram.”
Cao Lan almost fell to the ground after hearing that.
“How… How much is it? 2… 200,000? You’re not joking, right?”
Qiao Sixi immediately explained, “I’m not joking. Since we bought this urgently, we paid an extra 50,000 yuan per kilogram. In total, it’s 250,000 yuan per kilogram.”
Cao Lan felt as if she was struck by lightning.
Her mind went blank.
250,000 yuan per kilogram?
She estimated that the spoonful she had just now was at least one tael.
In that case, she had eaten tens of thousands of yuan in one bite?
Cao Lan felt that her heart could not take it anymore.
At this time, Ye Feng said slowly, “Anyway, we didn’t touch a single bite of the food on this table. Whoever eats it will pay.”
Cao Lan almost fainted when she heard this.
Not counting the Wagyu beef and white truffle just now, just this whatever caviar alone would make her go bankrupt.
How could she afford it?
Or else… give him her daughter to pay off her debt?
Zhou Shuyao glared at Ye Feng. “Don’t scare my mom. Can’t you see that she’s scared?”
Ye Feng also knew that he had gone too far with his joke, so he hurriedly waved his hand at Cao Lan.
“Auntie, I’m just joking with you. I’ve already paid for it, so feel free to eat.”
Cao Lan was relieved.
However, after these lessons, she would never dare to use her chopsticks again.
Everyone at the scene was so shocked that they couldn’t speak.
According to their calculations, the cost of raw materials for such a banquet was estimated to be at least 500,000 yuan.
A banquet that cost 500,000 yuan per table.
This was simply a bold and overbearing batch!
