After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

"Good morning! Hurry up and turn the air conditioning up to the max! I feel like I'm practically a walking jerk here!"

Qin Lang fanned himself while shouting.

Shen Man wore a pair of huge sunglasses that covered most of her face, but her carefully applied red lips and limited edition haute couture dress still made her stand out from the crowd.

"Lin Fan, what's good to eat today? The usual three dishes?"

Shen Man took off her sunglasses, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes scanned the store before finally landing on the small blackboard in Lin Fan's hand.

That was the sign Lin Fan used every day to write "Today's Supply" and "Special Offer New Products".

Lin Fan nodded slightly to the two of them, as if to say hello.

Lin Fan casually hung the blackboard in the most conspicuous spot by the entrance, then patted the chalk dust off his hands and turned to walk into the store.

"I knew it! Boss Lin definitely had something new... Holy crap?!"

Before Qin Lang could finish speaking, his throat seemed to suddenly become constricted.

He pointed to the prominent number on the blackboard, his voice instantly rising eight octaves:

"No?! One...one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight?! That's a cabbage?!"

"Did you misplace the decimal point? Or is there chalk dust on it?"

Not only Qin Lang, but Shen Man was also taken aback.

She rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

1888 yuan.

It's not 88 yuan, nor 888 yuan, but 1888!

Just for a cabbage dish?

The previously noisy crowd fell into a brief silence, followed by an even more intense uproar.

"This is insane! Absolutely insane!"

"Over a thousand for a cabbage? Is this cabbage made of gold or jade?"

"Even if it's a state banquet dish, it shouldn't be this expensive, right? A bowl of boiled cabbage in clear broth at a five-star hotel only costs a few dozen yuan!"

"He's gotten too big for his britches. While the steamed buns and noodles were indeed delicious before, this price... he's treating us like pigs to be slaughtered!"

Amid the crowd, voices of doubt, ridicule, and regret rose and fell.

Most diners had confidence in Lin Fan's culinary skills, but the price was simply outrageous, completely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Even Wang Pangzi, a staunch supporter of Lin Fan, was now shrinking back, staring at the blackboard in disbelief.

"Goodness gracious... at this price, even if I sold myself, I couldn't afford more than a few meals. Is Boss Lin trying to go for the high-end market and abandoning us ordinary folks?"

Faced with the doubts of the crowd, Lin Fan stood in the open kitchen, his expression unchanged.

He was carefully cutting the beef brisket he had prepared the day before into chunks.

He had a clear idea of ​​how to price this dish, "Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth".

The system, that heartless thing, asked for two thousand, but I managed to round it down, so it's a pretty good price.

"Lin Fan, are you serious?"

Shen Man strode into the store, leaned over the food preparation area, and asked in a low voice.

"Do you know how many people this price will scare away? Even Michelin three-star restaurants don't dare price a single vegetable like this!"

Lin Fan raised his head, glanced at her, and smiled faintly:

"Miss Shen, if you think it's too expensive, you don't have to order it."

"You! You've taken my kindness for granted!" Shen Man was furious.

"I may be rich, but I'm not a sucker! Humph, give me a bowl of noodles!"

Qin Lang also came over at this moment.

He stared at the sign for a long time, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Although he was rich, 1,888 yuan wasn't even enough for him to open the cheapest bottle of champagne at a bar; it was just a drop in the ocean.

But having a lot of money doesn't mean you like being ripped off. Why would someone spend nearly two thousand dollars at a roadside shop to eat a bowl of "boiled cabbage in plain water"?

This sounds absolutely absurd.

He turned and glanced at Lin Fan, who stood there with a normal expression.

Lin Fan understood what he meant, wiped his hands with a rag, and smiled, "It's not wrong. This is the discounted price."

"……ha?"

The diners queuing around were so angry they laughed.

"Eighteen hundred and eighty is after the discount? So what was the original price you were planning to sell it for?"

"Boss Lin, this is so pointless. People queue for hours to support us, and you're going to use this gimmick to rip them off?"

"Exactly! Anyone who buys this is a complete idiot!"

"This is clearly a scam!"

Just as the crowd was getting excited and discussing the matter, an electronic notification suddenly sounded without warning.

"Ding! WeChat payment received: 2076 yuan!"

The crisp notification sound was particularly jarring in the noisy store entrance.

All the complaints and jeers stopped abruptly, and hundreds of people turned to look at the same time.

Qin Lang stood at the cashier, casually waving his phone, which still displayed the payment success message, and grinned.

"It's all in the past!"

Qin Lang ignored the stares from those around him, who looked at him like he was a monster.

"Buying a cabbage for 1,800 yuan is probably unique in the entire Jiangcheng. But I trust your skills!"

As Qin Lang put his phone back in his pocket, he said with a chuckle:

"Give me a bowl of this lousy boiled cabbage soup! And a bowl of noodles!"

The entire venue fell silent for a few seconds.

Immediately, everyone around was shocked.

"Holy crap...did he really buy it?"

"Two thousand yuan down the drain without even blinking an eye, no wonder they're rich..."

Fatty Wang was swallowing hard, feeling that he simply couldn't understand the world of the rich.

Lin Fan looked at the deposit notification on the cashier's counter, wiped his hands with a towel, and walked over from behind the counter.

He looked at Qin Lang, just about to speak.

Qin Lang, however, seemed to have guessed what he was going to say, and waved his hand dismissively, interrupting him.

"Don't say it, I know what you're going to say."

Qin Lang chuckled, "The black card you gave me allows me to eat for free, but supporting a friend's cooking is a different matter. For the first bite of this new dish, I have to show my support with real money!"

Seeing Qin Lang's forthright and loyal demeanor, Lin Fan smiled helplessly.

Although this kid is a rich second-generation, his sincere nature is indeed not annoying.

"Okay." Lin Fan didn't try to persuade him any further, and slightly raised his chin. "Let's find a seat."

Lin Fan turned and walked into the kitchen.

Less than a minute.

Lin Fan walked out, carrying an exquisite white porcelain cup decorated with gold.

With a "thump," it was gently placed on the table in front of Qin Lang.

"Boiled cabbage in clear broth. Enjoy."

At that moment, the cameras of more than a dozen mobile phones were all pointed at us.

Everyone craned their necks, crowding around Qin Lang's table in layers, eager to see what this exorbitantly priced dish looked like.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Lang reached out and lifted the lid of the porcelain bowl.
