Translator: Lonelytree

Yan Siming drove for a whole day and arrived at Xing Yin County around nighttime. He found a hotel to settle down. It was the Gu Family Hotel.

He rested for a while and felt hungry, so he went down to the restaurant to eat. But when he arrived at the restaurant, he was stunned. The restaurant was filled with people.

‘What is wrong with these people? They don’t have any table manners at all. Men are fighting with women, and women are fighting with children…’ He looked around and noticed there was no empty table. If he wanted to eat, he would have to share a table with others. He was confused. ‘Is the food here so delicious?’

But no matter what, he didn’t like sharing a table with strangers. “Waiter, do you have any empty tables or private rooms?” Yan Siming asked.

The waiter answered politely, “Sir, I’m sorry, but we don’t have any empty rooms. If you’re not in a hurry, you can return to the room to wait. When there is an available table or booth, we’ll call Sir. Is that okay?” Then, the waiter added, “If Sir is in a hurry, we apologize, but you’ll have to share a table with other guests.”

Yan Siming thought for a while and said, “I’ll go to my room to rest then. Call me when there’s a booth available. I am in Room 8888.”

“Yes, Sir! But, Sir,” The waiter answered respectfully, “If you plan to wait, you might not get to taste our hotel’s specialty dishes.”

Yan Siming raised his eyebrows and asked, “Specialty dishes?”

The waiter said, “That’s right, our hotel serves vegetarian dishes as a specialty. They are different from normal vegetarian food. I promise you have not had our kind of vegetarian dishes before.”

Yan Siming looked around, and every table had vegetarian dishes, and they were the ones people fought over. Yan Siming was confused. He had no idea vegetables would be so popular. Wouldn’t the most popular dishes at big hotels be expensive ingredients like sea cucumber and abalone?

Yan Siming’s face revealed a bewitching smile as he said, “Oh, that’s interesting. However, there is no problem with them, right? I heard that some restaurants have resorted to using poppy shells as a seasoning to attract business.”

The waiter said very politely, “Sir, don’t worry. The Gu Family Hotel has been operating in Xing Yin County for thirty years already, and we have a clean reputation. However, many guests have similar questions as yours, but after they have a taste, they know the truth.”

After all, poppy shells had no fragrance.

The waiter politely asked again, “Sir, would you like to have a taste of our specialty?”

Yan Siming said, “Alright, let me see how special your hotel’s specialty dishes are! Prepare some and bring them to my room!”

The waiter smiled, “Alright. Sir, please take a seat and make your order.” The waiter led Yan Siming to the lounge and handed him a menu.

When Yan Siming opened the menu, he saw that all the specialty dishes were indeed vegetables. However, the price was ridiculously high, even higher than the five-star hotel in City Z.

Yan Siming looked at the menu, “Stir-fried cabbage is 88 RMB, braised eggplant is 98 RMB, stir-fried meat with chili is 108 RMB, … and tomato salad is 68 RMB…”

‘Is this hotel trying to rob people? These vegetables cost more than meat!’

In a five-star hotel in City Z, stir-fried cabbage went for 40 to 50 RMB, but here it was almost double as expensive.
