Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Is a Reheated Steak Still Delicious?

Lin Feng booked a table at a Western restaurant.

Or more accurately, a steakhouse.

But this particular restaurant was one of the more famous ones in Xiang City.

This was because all their steaks were high-end, imported beef.

Most of it was A3 Level.

Occasionally, they could even get their hands on A4 or even A5 Level Wagyu.

It was for this very reason...

...that it was so famous in Xiang City.

Even with an average cost of over a thousand per person, it couldn’t deter people who wanted to experience it for themselves.

Lin Feng, for example.

He had always heard how delicious steak was.

Lin Feng wanted to try it and see what all the fuss was about.

It was worth mentioning...

...that all the tables here were in private rooms.

And through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows...

...you could get an unobstructed view of Xiang City’s streetscape.

It was a high-end restaurant, after all.

The private room alone was enough to impress Lin Feng.

Su Ruoxi and Lin Xiaoman were also visibly amazed.

”Mr. Lin.”

”This is the private room where you will be enjoying your meal.”

The one who had accompanied Lin Feng’s group of three was a young woman in professional attire.

She was pretty, but not on the same level as Su Ruoxi and Lin Xiaoman.

Still, her Appearance was over an 80 out of 100.

”Alright, thank you, Miss Yu.”

The woman’s name was Yu Xuan, and she wasn’t exactly a waitress.

She was more like a personal butler for Lin Feng’s group for the duration of their meal.

She was responsible for tasks like helping Lin Feng place his order.

”You’re welcome, Mr. Lin. Shall we select your steaks now?”

Yu Xuan asked.

”Sounds good.”

Lin Feng glanced at the time; it was about time for dinner.

”By the way, Mr. Lin, we just received a shipment of A5 Level meat today. Would you be interested?” Yu Xuan added.

A5 Level meat was very expensive, easily four or five times the price of A3 Level.

But was a price like that really a problem for Lin Feng?

”Alright, Mr. Lin.”

Yu Xuan had only mentioned it casually.

’What if Mr. Lin actually wanted it?’

She never expected Lin Feng to agree without a second thought.

”Also, Mr. Lin, the price of the A5 Level steak can be a bit steep.”

Yu Xuan felt it was necessary to remind him.

”I know.”

Lin Feng nodded, indicating that he was well aware.

Seeing Lin Feng respond this way, Yu Xuan naturally had no more questions and turned to leave.

Before long, she returned.

This time, however...

...Yu Xuan was followed by a somewhat chubby, blond chef.

He was carrying what looked like a hefty cut of beef.

He also wore a chef’s hat on his head.

It was an occupational hazard for chefs.

With such good food around, they were bound to put on some weight.

”Mr. Lin, you’ll need to select a cut of meat, and then Chef William will prepare it for you.”

By the time Yu Xuan came back in, Lin Feng’s group of three had already taken their seats.

After hearing Yu Xuan’s words, Lin Feng acknowledged her and stood up, walking over to the cut of beef.

”Start cutting from here, and I’ll take all of this.”

Lin Feng pointed.

The portion he indicated looked to be around two pounds.

Divided into three portions, that was a considerable amount for each person.

Add a few side dishes, and they would be more than full.

It wasn’t good to eat too much meat.

Otherwise, Lin Xiaoman and Su Ruoxi would probably be complaining the next day that they’d gained weight again.

And they would blame it all on Lin Feng.

”Wait, I want two portions!”

Lin Xiaoman suddenly spoke up right after Lin Feng had finished.

Her outburst made Lin Feng and the others turn to look at her.

”Two steaks? Can you even finish them?”

Lin Feng asked, slightly surprised.

”Yes, Miss Lin, if you have two steaks...”

Yu Xuan glanced at Lin Xiaoman’s figure.

’With a figure like hers, there’s no way she has a large appetite.’

”Who told you to make me mad earlier?”

”I’m having two steaks. Hmph.”

Lin Xiaoman was still being a little proud and stubborn.

She had said she would double the average cost, and she was determined to do just that.

Lin Feng was rather exasperated.

But since Lin Xiaoman had insisted, he could only go along with her.

”Please add a little more.”

”Make it four portions.”

There were requirements for the thickness of the steaks.

To ensure they were cooked perfectly inside and out, they couldn’t be too thick.

Lin Feng had no interest in eating a blue-rare steak.

He couldn’t bring himself to take a bite.

And he couldn’t understand what people who enjoyed them were thinking.

Medium-well was just right.

It would be tender, but not tough.

It had to be said, watching a master chef at work was truly a pleasure.

Compared to the cuisine of the Celestial Dynasty, the method for cooking steak was a bit simple.

But it was still a visually pleasing experience.

Especially after it was plated and served.

The original aroma of the beef was released perfectly.

This was a characteristic of Western cuisine.

They rarely used overpowering seasonings.

The focus was on bringing out the original flavor of the ingredients.

Of course, there was also a high probability that they were just lazy.

But for Lin Feng, this was good enough.

Especially when paired with the complimentary bottle of red wine from the restaurant.

It really set the mood.

Lin Feng didn’t know how to drink red wine.

For someone who didn’t drink it,

a bottle of soda would have been more enjoyable than red wine.

But in a place like this, would Lin Feng really drink soda?

”Ruoxi, how is it?”

Lin Feng asked Su Ruoxi, who was beside him.

Su Ruoxi nodded.

”The A5 Level Wagyu itself has an excellent texture, and the chef’s skill is superb. I’d say it’s more than worth the price.”

Su Ruoxi’s assessment was very objective.

For Lin Feng, however...

...any food that didn’t trigger a ”Gourmet” notification from the system was just something to fill his stomach.

As for Lin Xiaoman...

...she meticulously copied Su Ruoxi, cutting off a small piece of meat and putting it in her mouth.

She chewed a few times, then put on a satisfied expression.

”Is it good?”

Lin Feng asked with a smile.

”Delicious.”

With such good food in front of her, Lin Xiaoman was no longer in the mood to be angry with Lin Feng.

She cut another piece and popped it into her mouth.

She even took a sip of red wine.

However, judging by the way her brow furrowed slightly...

...it seemed Lin Xiaoman was just like Lin Feng.

She couldn’t get used to the taste of red wine.

”Eat slowly. You still have another steak, after all.”

Lin Feng glanced over at the chef, who was still searing a steak not far away.

That last steak of Lin Xiaoman’s was a real monster.

The portion was massive.

The two steaks together were over a pound and a half, almost two pounds of beef.

There was no way Lin Xiaoman could finish it.

And that was indeed the case.

After finishing her first steak, Lin Xiaoman was already starting to feel uncomfortably full.

Especially when she saw the second one, which was even bigger than the first.

Lin Xiaoman was truly on the verge of a breakdown.

She could only look pleadingly at Lin Feng for help.

But Lin Feng completely ignored her gaze.

”You ordered it, you eat it.”

Lin Feng raised his wine glass and took a delicate sip.

Then he realized he couldn’t pull off the sophisticated act.

”Sister-in-law, you’re not full yet, are you?”

Lin Xiaoman turned to Su Ruoxi, her face a mask of desperation.

Su Ruoxi had no choice but to nod.

”If you can’t eat it all, you can give some to me.”

In truth, Su Ruoxi didn’t have a large appetite either.

But for the sake of being called ”Sister-in-law,” she could help share the burden a little.

Just a little, though.

Looking at the steak on Lin Xiaoman’s plate,

Su Ruoxi also felt a little intimidated.

’Who eats steak just to get stuffed?’

’Only Lin Xiaoman would do something like that.’

”Okay! Thank you, Sister-in-law!”

Seeing Su Ruoxi agree, Lin Xiaoman’s face lit up with a smile.

’It doesn’t matter if I can finish the rest; every little bit helps.’

Lin Xiaoman passed a piece over to Su Ruoxi.

It was about a quarter of the steak.

But the amount left was still more than she could handle.

This...

”Um, Miss Yu, can I ask how much this steak is worth?”

Lin Xiaoman really couldn’t eat anymore.

But she didn’t dare to waste it.

So she had to ask the price first.

”Miss Lin, your party of three ordered a total of 3.2 pounds of steak today.”

”According to the market price, the total value is twenty-eight thousand yuan.”

”The steak on your plate is worth nine thousand yuan.”

Yu Xuan felt helpless as well.

She had tried to dissuade Lin Xiaoman earlier.

But Lin Xiaoman wouldn’t listen.

She just had to order an extra portion, and such a large one at that.

”Huh?”

”One steak dinner costs almost thirty thousand yuan?”

Lin Xiaoman exclaimed in shock after hearing what Yu Xuan said.

She really hadn’t expected it to be so expensive.

Lin Feng had clearly said the average cost per person was just over a thousand.

Even if she doubled it, it shouldn’t have been more than four thousand.

When she realized her little whim had cost as much as her necklace, Lin Xiaoman was on the verge of tears.

However, Lin Feng and Su Ruoxi didn’t seem to have much of a reaction.

A3 Level and A5 Level Wagyu were not in the same league to begin with.

A price several times higher was perfectly normal.

The two of them had long been mentally prepared for it.

So they weren’t surprised at all when they heard the price Yu Xuan quoted.

But Lin Xiaoman didn’t know that.

The moment she heard her steak was worth over nine thousand yuan,

she felt even more reluctant to waste it.

Some things...

...don’t seem like much when you just look at them.

But once you put a price tag on them, it makes your heart ache.

Just like Lin Xiaoman right now.

”Bro, do you think steak is still good if you take it home and reheat it?”

Lin Xiaoman asked Lin Feng, her face looking mournful.

For some reason...

...seeing this expression on Lin Xiaoman’s face made Lin Feng want to laugh.
