Chapter 397 - 265: Seafood Feast (Part 3)
Guo Sian really put some thought into treating Tan Xiaoxiao to this meal! He ordered all ten of this restaurant’s signature seafood dishes, practically gathering the world’s most expensive and rare seafood delicacies. The cost of this seafood feast would be a number unimaginable to ordinary people.
Even though Tan Xiaoxiao didn’t know the actual price of this seafood feast, she could tell it was definitely not cheap, and certainly beyond what she could afford.
"With just the two of us dining, why did you order so many dishes? We won’t be able to finish even if we burst!" Tan Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but complain to Guo Sian after the waiter left.
"It’s okay if we can’t finish it, don’t you have lots of colleagues? You can pack them up and take them back for them. Just taste a bit of each dish," Guo Sian replied.
"Oh, you! If I’d known you’d do this, I wouldn’t have come out to eat with you. Ordering so many dishes, and such expensive seafood, what a waste!" Tan Xiaoxiao said.
"If your dad, the chairman, finds out about this, he definitely wouldn’t be happy and might even be disappointed in you."
"Why would that be? My dad doesn’t seem like a stingy person!" Guo Sian said in confusion.
"I’ve often heard people say that the chairman is a very frugal person. His favorite dish is stir-fried pork, and he never wastes food, doesn’t allow for leftovers, and dislikes extravagance," Tan Xiaoxiao said seriously.
"If he knows you took me out for a meal and ordered all these dishes for just the two of us, and they’re all such expensive seafood, do you think he would be pleased?"
"It seems you don’t really know my dad well. My dad wouldn’t oppose us eating expensive dishes. No matter how expensive, they’re meant to be eaten," Guo Sian said with a smile.
"Although we ordered a bit too much and might not finish it, didn’t I just say? You can pack it up and take it back for your colleagues to taste."
"As long as these dishes aren’t left uneaten, aren’t thrown away, then it’s not considered wasteful. As long as it’s not wasteful, no matter how much I spend, my dad wouldn’t be unhappy."
"For ordinary people, the cost of this seafood feast might be too high, but for my family, it’s just equivalent to a bit of pocket money for regular folks."
"So go ahead and eat without any guilt or burden."
"Otherwise, if you get the chance to marry into a wealthy family someday, you might find it hard to adjust."
"Consider today’s seafood feast as a way to get you used to the lifestyle of the wealthy in advance."
"But it’s still too much, and too expensive," Tan Xiaoxiao said, picking up a spoon and scooping some king crab meat, eating as she spoke.
Since it was already ordered and served on the table, what else could she do but eat? Otherwise, not eating would truly be more wasteful.
The king crab meat was exceptionally tender and delicious, it was just too tasty. Tan Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but eat a few more bites, completely unable to stop!
After a few bites of the king crab, she couldn’t resist reaching for the Australian lobster.
It was so delicious. Although Tan Xiaoxiao’s family wasn’t very poor, they weren’t particularly wealthy either. They never had the chance to taste such exquisite seafood, it was too expensive, who in her family would be willing to eat it?
So even though Tan Xiaoxiao had eaten seafood before, it was always the ordinary kind. None of the ten seafood dishes served today had she ever tasted before, and upon trying them, she thought they were really delicious. No wonder they were so expensive, it wasn’t without reason.
But such expensive and delicious seafood was destined not to be enjoyed by ordinary people, only those who were very wealthy could afford it.
"Wait, who said I want to marry into a wealthy family?" Tan Xiaoxiao said while savoring some tasty Australian abalone.
"What’s wrong with marrying into a wealthy family?" Guo Sian asked.
"What’s good about marrying into a wealthy family? You see it in those dramas; there’s so much drama and intrigue, everyone scheming against each other for the inheritance and neglecting family ties," said Tan Xiaoxiao.
"And how many rich men aren’t unfaithful? They marry a few at home and keep several outside. Aside from money, where’s the happiness in that?"
