Old Beijing Black Douzhir

Private kitchens are essentially places with absolutely no cost-effectiveness. Generally speaking, apart from people following internet trends, it is mostly bosses who frequent them.

Because these bosses can afford the price and care more about the quality of the dining experience.

Of course, not every boss has the financial backing to casually go there for a meal whenever they want. Often, they only go for business banquets. Or to put it another way, many restaurants actually survive on business banquets, such as Jiu Rongji. If you excluded that segment of customers, there would not be many people left.

Su Bai operated on a different model. He had a cheat system that gave him cashback, so he did not care about the price of food; tasting good was the most important thing.

That is how foodies are; they do not mind a little trouble for a rare delicacy.

The weather was getting cold, and eating spicy food warmed the body, so Su Bai specifically instructed the chef of the private kitchen today to make a table full of dishes that were spicy and satisfying enough.

Speaking of which, the first time he came to this restaurant, it was a local, Xue Tao, who led the way... But now Su Bai was very familiar with the boss. As for who Xue Tao was? The boss had no idea.

Only by getting familiar with the boss of this restaurant could one have more room to customize the dishes, because the boss was the head chef and had quite a personality.

Chen Yusheng naturally enjoyed it too. Among his team of female confidantes, her ability to handle spicy food was probably the most outstanding.

Not necessarily. Wan Xinyan and the others are originally from that region, after all, so they should be able to handle spicy food well, right? It is just that usually, they do not seem to have a particular preference for any type of food... Chen Yusheng pondered.

Thinking about it carefully, the Wan sisters' preferences really seemed quite vague, unlike Senior Sister Lu who clearly loved luxury goods, or Xia who clearly liked sports.

The only thing that could be seen was that they seemed particularly satisfied with the maid role...

No, I tested it during this trip, and I feel they aren't as fierce at eating spicy food as you are, Su Bai gave an honest and sharp review.

Really?

Really, but they aren't coming to this meal. On the way back, I tossed them around so much that they probably need a good rest.

On the return trip, Wan Xinyan expressed that this was the last leg of their private journey with Su Bai and begged him to let loose on... them.

The result was that Su Bai, who indulged just a little bit, directly made it so they could not even walk.

Aching all over, they started sleeping soundly as soon as they returned to Ascott.

As for Su Bai himself, he was naturally still full of vigor.

He could even continue to discuss academics with Chen Yusheng.

Hearing this, Chen Yusheng secretly clicked her tongue. Sure enough, she had still underestimated the big white goose. This guy was basically an alien!

Complaining all the way, they arrived at the private kitchen.

This meal was supposed to be just Su Bai and Chen Yusheng... At least, that was what Chen Yusheng originally thought. However, when they arrived, they happened to run into Liu Chenyang, who had been summoned by Su Bai, and... Xu Xinran.

Chen Yusheng really did not know much about this journalist, but at least from the publicly available information about her deeds and Su Bai's attitude towards her, Chen Yusheng could tell she was probably a good person.

The only problem was that this girl had been hovering around Su Bai a lot lately. Her intention of craving him was too obvious, which inevitably made Chen Yusheng want to compete with her.

This is what happens when there are many female confidantes; palace intrigue is the underlying logic.

Su Bai even found that he was getting addicted to watching these girls scheme and bicker. Whenever they competed to show off their charm to him, an inexplicable sense of accomplishment would spontaneously arise.

My work has temporarily come to an end. I will be quite free recently, so I will stay in Jiangcheng to keep Xiaolin company, Xu Xinran said, sounding a bit like she was making an unprompted confession.

That is true. It feels like Xia does not have many friends usually. I suppose many of her close besties are in Shanghai, Liu Chenyang sighed with emotion.

After entering the private room, she completely reverted to her female dress state, feeling very comfortable without having to disguise anything.

In a sense, Xu Xinran's addition did not affect Yangyang much, mainly because they were not close and had no previous conflicts of interest. On the contrary, Xu Xinran was quite surprised by Liu Chenyang's true gender.

Su Bai felt that this Miss Journalist was definitely faking it. Given how well-informed she was, she probably knew Liu Chenyang's background long ago. However, putting on a surprised posture was also a kind of emotional intelligence. After all, Yangyang was indeed quite innocent, and the dark side of a big journalist was not suitable for a pure kid to see.

Liu Chenyang was quite happy. She just felt that the members of the big family had increased, which was a good thing for her because she could move freely as a girl in front of more people.

This was also a benefit Su Bai brought her.

Therefore, Liu Chenyang completely encouraged the increase in female confidantes.

Her ability to eat spicy food was not very good. She got a glass of plain boiled water to rinse those obviously stimulating dishes before eating them.

Even so, the taste of this meal made Liu Chenyang praise it repeatedly.

As for Chen Yusheng...

This girl actually started competing with Xu Xinran on their tolerance for extreme spiciness...

The originally spicy stir-fried pork kidneys were modified into extra spicy by the head chef at the request of the two, and then they held back from drinking water while eating.

Su Bai was dumbfounded watching this. Come on, sisters, you are a big journalist, and you are still competing with a college freshman?

Could you not be so childish?

While complaining verbally, Su Bai honestly took out his phone and started recording a video.

You have to say, it was truly rare to see a goddess like Chen Yusheng, who appeared so aloof to the outside world, in such a situation.

Or rather, every aloof goddess that many boys pine for actually has an unknown, silly side behind the scenes.

Only the most intimate existence, the existence that truly walks into her heart, can possibly catch a glimpse of her true face.

In a sense, Su Bai felt he was lucky. The goddesses he encountered all showed him their most authentic selves at their most beautiful age.

When the two of them could no longer hold on, Liu Chenyang, a bit afraid they would have problems from the spice, hurriedly poured them two glasses of iced cola.

Su Bai also quipped, That is enough, have some old Beijing black bean juice...

These words successfully made Xu Xinran break her composure, forcing her to be the first to pick up her cup and chug it down...

Chen Yusheng usually heard Su Bai tell cold jokes more often and had already adapted, remaining expressionless.

Thus, she won the victory!

Su Bai happily saved the video and sent it to the group chat of his female confidantes, asking everyone for their sharp reviews.

He casually glanced at the group and found that everyone at school was discussing the science and innovation competition.

Nowadays, besides attending classes, college students, especially engineering students, often just participate in competitions.

After all, it is not easy for lower-grade students to get internships directly. If they want to work hard, participating in various competitions is a good choice.

The competition organized by the computer science department itself certainly did not hold much weight. It did not have any prestigious titles or awards that could be written on a resume, but it was very suitable for freshmen to team up.
