Chapter 127: The Discovery

Kang Taehyun, Yoon Jungsu, Choi Jaywon, Seo Inguk and Jung Jinso, the rich second generations who got on Lee Minho's boat gathered together.

Lee Minho then handed them the menu with a smile.

"Look, what do you want to eat, order it yourself, it's all on me."

Choi Jaywon glanced at the menu in front of him, swallowed, and couldn't help asking Lee Minho who was full of smiles cautiously.

"Young Master Lee is in a good mood today?"

"Not bad."

Lee Minho nodded with a smile.

"I made a little money yesterday."

As soon as Lee Minho said this, the expressions of Choi Jaywon and the others immediately froze.

'Small money?'

According to the news they got, several Gan companies suffered heavy losses yesterday.

At least more than 10 billion was lost.

And that money worth more than 10 billion went into someone's pocket. Everyone in the Kyoto circle knows it well.

However, in Lee Minho's mouth, this more than 10 billion is just a small amount of money?

Seeing their unnatural expressions, Lee Minho's mouth curved up even more.

"Don't be polite to me, just order whatever you like. This restaurant was opened by me and two other friends. The dishes on this recipe taste very good."

Today Lee Minho brought them to the newly opened Qingyuan's Private Restaurant.

Gourmet Food Street is the most upscale food street in the capital.

Every store has its own loyal diners.

After all, those who can come to eat are rich people.

Apart from the taste of the food, what you eat here is the reputation of the restaurant.

Newly opened restaurants like Qingyuan's Private Restaurant, except for some old customers. It rarely have new customers.

It just so happened that Lee Minho was free today because he made 'a little money', that's why he brought Kang Taehyun and the others to dinner.

"You opened this store, Young Master Lee?"

Jung Jinso directly ignored the two friends in Lee Minho's conversation.

"It's with friends. You should try it later. It tastes very good."

Yoon Jungsu then smiled and said.

"If it's Young Master Lee's friend, then we have to try it out."

"Yeah, to be able to make Young Master Lee recommend it so much, the craftsmanship here must be very good."

"When I passed by yesterday, I was surprised that there was a new private restaurant in the area."

"I wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to be opened by Young Master Lee and his friends. The signature dish here must be good."

Seo Inguk said while flipping through the menu, ordering from the waiter.

Kang Taehyun and the others did not expose it. On the contrary, they tried their best to please him.

When they came in just now, they saw that there were only a few people eating in this shop.

It seems that business is not very good.

Maybe it doesn't taste that good.

But since it's a store invested by Lee Minho, they can't say no matter how bad the taste is.

They even thought in their heart that they would introduce their relatives and friends to join them later.

Thinking, this is why Lee Minho asked them to come over for dinner this time.

After Xu Qing and Yu Shiyuan learned that Lee Minho had arrived, they immediately walked up to the box on the second floor.

Xu Qing opened the door and entered the box, and saw Lee Minho sitting at the top.

"Young Master Lee, why you didn't inform us that you're coming? You are the big boss, how can you sit in this small box. Let us get you a better private room."

After the private restaurant reopened, there were very few customers.

Some of the former regular customers did not come to the door either.

Obviously, those regular customers must have been warned.

Or maybe they knew that Xu Qing and Yu Shiyuan had offended someone who shouldn't be offended, so they were afraid.

Recently, the private kitchen business is not in good condition, Xu Qing and Yu Shiyuan are also worried.

"No need, this place is also very good."

Lee Minho then introduced Xu Qing and Yu Shiyuan with a smile.

"Come on, let me introduce you, these are my friends."

When Kang Taehyun and the others saw Xu Qing and Yu Shiyuan coming in, they've guessed that these two were the friends Lee Minho mentioned.

So they warmly greeted Xu Qing and Yu Shiyuan and introduced themselves.

When Yu Shiyuan saw Lee Minho's friends that he brought over for dinner, he said enthusiastically.

"Young Master Lee, it just so happens that Qing made two new dishes yesterday. I'll bring them up later. You should try them."

"Okay."

Lee Minho looked at Xu Qing and joked.

"But if it tastes bad, I won't give you money."

"You're the boss who came to eat, do you still need to pay for it?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Qing said again.

"I will asked Shiyuan to serve you some salad. I'll go cook the food you ordered and it will be ready soon."

"Alright."

Lee Minho watched Xu Qing and Yu Shiyuan leave.

And s after, Yu Shiyuan personally delivered the side dishes.

Kang Taehyun and the others originally thought that even if this food is not tasty. They have to pretend that it was delicious.

It's just that, as soon as the side dishes entered their mouths, they immediately put this thought behind them.

Because this side dish is so delicious.

In Qingyuan's Private Restaurant, even a simple dish is Xu Qing's secret recipe handed down from his ancestors.

It's a world of difference from those outside.

And until the main course is served. Kang Taehyun and the others couldn't help but to ate voraciously.

Jung Jinso who really likes to eat is even more energetic. His mouth never stopped.

In less than fifteen minutes, a table full of dishes was swept away.

"I can't, I'm too full. I need to take a rest."

Jung Jinso leaned on the chair with his round belly in his arms, as if he couldn't move.

Sitting at the side, Seo Inguk whose body was almost half the size of Jung Jinso, stared at him and said.

"You have the nerve to say that? Half of that duck just got into your stomach. Have you starved to death and reincarnated?"

Jung Jinso licked the corner of his mouth and said.

"You can't blame me, this dish is so delicious."

"Indeed, the taste is very good."

Kang Taehyun also ate a lot of delicacies. The table of dishes just now can be ranked among the top three among the delicacies he has eaten.

Among them, the signature dish of Flying Dragon in the Sky, are even more delicious.

"If it's delicious, then just come here to eat more in the future."

Seeing how satisfied they were, Lee Minho could already imagine that after they publicized it in the circle.

In the future, the business of this private restaurants will definitely be very hot.

Although the food of the famous Autumn Winds Pavilion is also delicious.

But Lee Minho felt that except for the signature dishes, the other dishes were not as good as Xu Qing's.

Now that Lee Minho has invested, of course he will try his best to make Qingyuan's Private Restaurant popular.

Even the food is delicious, management and connections are also very important.

As long as Kang Taehyun and his group of rich second generations come here frequently, they will surely attract many other diners.

Lee Minho believes that anyone who has tasted Xu Qing's cooking skills will definitely come again.

After dinner, Lee Minho and the others packed several dishes.

Lee Minho went to the counter to pay the bill, but Xu Qing and Yu Shiyuan refused.

Lee Minho then said.

"That won't work. I'm bringing my friends over for dinner. I'm not eating by myself. Although I'm also the boss, I still have to pay for the meal."

He then added on.

"In this way the accounts will be clear. And when I opened this store with you, it was to not waste the 30,000 dollars in my card."

Xu Qing and Yu Shiyuan looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Then I'll give you a 30% discount?"

Xu Qing tentatively asked.

"10% off."

Yu Shiyuan gritted his teeth.

"No, up to 50% off, otherwise, people will think that the two of us are working together to bully you."

"That's right, if someone finds out, they probably won't give us a good face."

Xu Qing echoed.

"Then let's get 50% off. It can't be any more."

Lee Minho looked as if he had suffered a big loss.

Seeing Lee Minho's insistence, Xu Qing and Yu Shiyuan had no choice but to compromise.

Standing behind Lee Minho, Kang Taehyun and the others listened to their conversation with a look of bewilderment.

'Young Master Lee invested in this store, why does he still need to pay?'

People give discounts, the lower the merrier.

But Lee Minho looked like he lost something big the higher the discount he get.

The system is also puzzled.

{Host, are you floating after making money? This is not your stingy character.}

"System, there are some things you don't understand."

Nothing is free in this world.

Lee Minho said before that he would not interfere with the operation in the private restaurant.

Although he is the boss, he still needs to pay for it.

All the brothers have to settle the accounts clearly, not to mention that he and Xu Qing are just partners on the surface.

To do business is to settle accounts clearly.

Because as long as he did this, then Xu Qing and Yu Shiyuan must also abide by this rule.

Sometimes, restraining yourself is tantamount to restraining others.

He invested 300 million dollars, but he didn't really want to do charity.

As for keeping accounts or something, there is no such regulation in private restaurants yet.

Before Kang Taehyun and the others left, Xu Qing also gave them VIP cards and explained it's purpose.

After receiving the VIP card, Kang Taehyun and the others happily left with Lee Minho and the packed dishes.

Not long after they left, a black car stopped at the door of the private restaurant.

The driver went to the back seat and opened the door.

A middle-aged man in his fifties got out of the car.

There was still gauze on his forehead, and his eyes were fixed on the promotional poster at the entrance of the private restaurant.

That poster was one of the dishes that Lee Minho and the others ate tonight, a new signature dish called.

[Flying Dragon in the Sky]

The middle-aged man had tears in his eyes, trembling all over, with an excited expression on his face.

"I found it, I found it. I finally found your benefactor."

The middle-aged man couldn't wait to walk into the private restaurant.
