The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 371: Chapter 371: Burned Out

”Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s right! Like a wolf, a lone, aloof wolf!” Lin Tian nodded repeatedly, almost nodding his head off in agreement!

”No, you’ve misunderstood me! What I meant was, the wolf in your heart, it’s a perverted wolf!” Chen Moxiang corrected with a straight face.

”...” Lin Tian was speechless.

”Did I hit the mark?” Chen Moxiang teased, ”Why aren’t you speaking?”

”I’m just very upset that you could think of me that way!” Lin Tian was heartbroken!

”Unless you join the Security Management Institute, I won’t think of you like that!”

”Why must you always bring the topic back round in circles? I think we should talk about how delicious this dish is!”

”Let’s just eat!” Lin Tian thought it was better not to talk about too many extraneous topics while eating.

”Hmph!” Chen Moxiang snorted coldly, very displeased with Lin Tian’s every effort to avoid joining the Security Management Institute.

But not wanting to make Lin Tian resist, she had to keep silent.

”Here, for the two of you, compliments of the house for today’s event, our special dish—Braised Lion’s Head.”

Just as Lin Tian and Chen Moxiang were silently eating, a middle-aged man in a suit, looking quite refined, led two waiters over.

The waiters held dishes covered with silver lids, ensuring that the aroma would not escape.

”Wow, such a good deal?” Lin Tian laughed; who knew Quan Jufu Hotel’s restaurant had such events?

And they’re serving something as grand as Braised Lion’s Head?

Amazing, this day and age even lions can be caught and their heads chopped off?

This is unbelievable, what a conscientious restaurant!

Chen Moxiang also looked surprised at the restaurant manager, identifying him by the badge on his chest.

”Nonsense, of course not!” The restaurant manager grumbled internally, quite displeased to be serving a country bumpkin as the manager of a high-class restaurant.

But it was Mr. Yin’s instructions, and he had no choice but to come!

The dish was placed down, and Lin Tian eagerly lifted the silver lid, letting the aroma of the dish waft over!

”Wow!” Lin Tian exclaimed, picking up his used chopsticks to poke around the dish, ”It looks pretty good...”

”Oh?” The restaurant manager was taken aback; Lin Tian’s words clearly held more meaning. Was there something he wanted to say but didn’t? ”I wonder if sir has any advice?”

Chen Moxiang also curiously looked at Lin Tian, a look of disdain flashing through her eyes.

She was about to try the Braised Lion’s Head, but with Lin Tian poking around the dish like that, using his saliva-covered chopsticks, how could anyone eat it?

”Advice? Not quite.” Lin Tian shook his head, feigning a deep and profound look: ”Manager, have you ever heard of the saying ’hanging a sheep’s head to sell dog meat’?”

”Hmm?” The restaurant manager was even more puzzled, why was he suddenly talking about ’hanging a sheep’s head to sell dog meat’? ”I’ve heard of it, it means using a good name as a front but not living up to it, or doing bad things instead.”

Chen Moxiang was also confused, what was Lin Tian trying to say?

She perked her ears to listen carefully as Lin Tian explained.

”Then can you tell me the method of making this Braised Lion’s Head and what ingredients are used?” Lin Tian continued to ask.

”Of course, it’s made with the finest ingredients, combined with the best seasonings, and cooked by top chefs personally!” The restaurant manager straightened his back, explaining with great care that the chefs at Quan Jufu Hotel are from the top ranks abroad!

Hired at great expense, their culinary skills are among the best, even ranking in the world gastronomy charts, making them top ten!

”Although our chefs are from abroad, they have also deeply honed their skills in Celestial Dragon dishes, mastering techniques such as cutting, color observation, tasting... and more, which they specially studied in Celestial Dragon Continent for ten years!”

”Wow, that’s impressive!” Lin Tian smacked his lips, ”However, I didn’t mean your restaurant’s chefs aren’t good!”

”Then what does sir mean?” The restaurant manager furrowed his brow. What was this guy trying to say?

Giving you the top dish for free, and you still have so much to say?

If it weren’t for Mr. Yin’s specific instructions that you must stay put, I’d have thrown you out long ago!

As a restaurant manager, when had he been questioned in this way?

This was a negation of his professionalism!

”If sir continues with such shameless chitchat, I find it hard to have a pleasant conversation with you!”

”Oh, quite the temper?” Lin Tian was immediately unhappy!

Aren’t you supposed to keep the customer top priority, don’t you realize?

”Let me ask you, what is the name of this dish!” Lin Tian expressed his displeasure; if he’s not happy, nobody else should be either!

”Braised Lion’s Head!” The restaurant manager’s attitude shifted; this guy was obviously here to make trouble, and he couldn’t just stand by!

”Then what are its ingredients!” Lin Tian continued to press, I’m well-reasoned and don’t fear you!

”Choice pork belly, the finest pig’s trotters...” The restaurant manager rambled on, finally asserting: ”Absolutely the most authentic Braised Lion’s Head recipe, you could invite top tasting masters to try it!!”

”Claiming Braised Lion’s Head, made with pork belly and pig’s trotters, and you dare say it’s not hanging a sheep’s head to sell dog meat?” Lin Tian was immediately upset!

Originally, I thought Braised Lion’s Head was really lion’s head, but you gave a dish with pork belly and pig’s trotters and called it that, and you expect us to not feel fooled?

With my fiery temper, if it weren’t for Chen Moxiang being here today, I’d have wrecked this place!

Lin Tian subtly surveyed the restaurant, wow, it’s quite luxuriously decorated. Fine, I won’t wreck it; I’m a civilized and cultured person!

Lin Tian would never admit he’s afraid he couldn’t afford to pay for the damages!

”Pfft...” Chen Moxiang burst out laughing; she thought there was a real issue, but Lin Tian’s ’hanging a sheep’s head to sell dog meat’ meant this?

This guy, he’s hilarious!

”...” The restaurant manager was dumbfounded, what kind of nonsense is this?

Does Braised Lion’s Head have to be the head of a real lion?

And should Buddha Jumps Over the Wall involve catching a Buddha to cook and eat?

If it were real... would you dare to eat it?

”Well, have I rendered you speechless, with no way to rebut?” Seeing the restaurant manager at a loss for words, Lin Tian got even more excited!

”That’s why I say, honesty in business is vital!”

”What the dish is made of should be what it’s named, not hanging a sheep’s head to sell dog meat, got it?”

”Alright, enough of your foolishness!” Chen Moxiang said, unable to watch any longer!

How long does this guy intend to keep embarrassing himself?

She hurriedly stopped Lin Tian from speaking, meanwhile turning to the restaurant manager, ”Sorry, my friend here is a bit under the weather recently, running a high fever constantly, it’s fried his brain!”

She glared at Lin Tian fiercely, can’t we avoid such embarrassment?
