Chapter 478 - 269: Expert Bai Mo, You’re Confused!
"During this time, it’s really been hard on everyone."
"Today, eat more."
Inside the private room, over thirty people filled two large tables.
On each table, there were chicken, duck, fish, meat, steam wafting with aroma, and a big plate of crabs, piled like hills, each one really huge!
Each student, like reincarnated starving ghosts, devoured with gusto, their faces gleaming with oil.
Wan Bocheng sat beside Bai Mo, looking a little embarrassed with panda eyes.
"This... sigh... I don’t even know what to say."
"I’ve used your instruments, learned from your knowledge, consumed so much of your equipment and reagents, and now you’re treating us to a meal?"
"Is there any logic like that under heaven?"
"Bai Mo, I feel really embarrassed eating this meal, really!"
Bai Mo sat next to him, smirked a little. He thought if Wan Bocheng didn’t have a ring of crab yellow oil around his mouth, and if there wasn’t a mountain of crab shells in front of him, his statement of "feeling embarrassed" might have been more convincing.
In the past half month, students from the Immortal Grass Experimental Class helped Bai Mo analyze a lot of pheromones from worldly plants, saving him a lot of time in condenser analysis. Hence, after the internship ended, he treated them to a feast at "Crab Emperor’s Residence" to express his gratitude.
The other students weren’t as pretentious as Wan Bocheng.
"These crabs are really fat!"
"The crab yellow almost spills out!"
"This is a great feast, haha, thanks Bai Mo!"
"This Flower Carved Wine tastes weird, but if you savor it slowly, it’s also quite aromatic."
Huang Sitong was also sitting at the table. These past days, she became familiar with the students from the Immortal Grass Experimental Class.
At this moment, with a "crack," she split open a massive crab revealing golden crab yellow, smiling gleefully as she took a big bite.
These crabs are good but at 198 each, they’re really pricy!
Had Bai Mo not treated, she indeed wouldn’t come to eat!
The disciple Haha Fox squatted in the master’s arms, deft front paws, self-taught, breaking crab shells, piercing crab legs, prying crab claws, pulling out a bowl full of crab yellow and crab meat, then sprinkling some vinegar, eating together with the master.
"Whimper whimper!"
Bai Mo grinned, scooping up a spoonful, feeding it into the disciple’s mouth, then to his own.
Though costly, it really tasted good!
On Bai Mo’s other side, Fang Xiaoyu leaned over and whispered.
"You actually paid with your own money?"
"It’s not necessary."
"Let me apply for reimbursement."
"Although it doesn’t completely follow regulations, it’s not against them either. This kind of reimbursement is somewhat ambiguous, many experts and professors do it."
Bai Mo furrowed his brows.
This meal, thirty people, eating like there was no tomorrow, probably cost in the five digits.
About reimbursement... it was feasible.
But he just felt uneasy inside!
He didn’t want to take advantage of public funds!
Moreover...
"This is personal gratitude to fellow students."
"No reimbursement, I’ll pay myself."
Fang Xiaoyu was about to say something else but suddenly recalled Bai Mo receiving several project bonuses, with many commas and zeros in the account, her expression changed instantly.
"Almost forgot, you’re also a wealthy dog! "
"Since that’s the case, I’m going to eat more!"
As they were chatting, the private room door opened.
The server pushed a dining cart, delivering two large plates of crabs, piled high again.
This time, the size of the crabs was even larger, one plate per table.
Bai Mo was puzzled.
"I ordered based on three crabs per person, they should be all served."
"These... delivered to the wrong private room, wrong dishes?"
Fang Xiaoyu was quick, already fetching a crab, untying the crab’s string.
"Wow, these new crabs are so big, feel like they weigh a pound!"
The students’ hands were quick too, each grabbing the new crabs, beginning to peel shells.
Wan Bocheng, that rascal, was even more shameless, took one new crab, already dismantled the crab yellow, crab meat, and placed them into a plate.
"The crab yellow and crab paste are so full, the crab meat is also golden yellow?"
"Wow, the crab leg is golden yellow?"
"The claw too is golden yellow?"
"Bai Mo, this... this... isn’t this the head-hand yellow oil crab from Bilibili?"
"Golden joints, truly amazing!"
"You’re really... incredibly wasteful!"
Head-hand yellow oil crab? Bai Mo nodded with a smile, then secretly pulled out his phone, searching "head-hand yellow oil crab."
Skipping through messy introductions and boasts, only looked at the price... four digits starting with two, two thousand yuan?
Two thousand yuan!
Per crab!
His hand shivered instantly.
Really didn’t order anything so expensive!
Delivered to the wrong room!
Wrong dishes served!
Was this restaurant planning on force selling? Money isn’t meant to be spent like this!
How many are left that can be returned?
Looking up, he saw the large plate of head-hand yellow oil crabs already divided up by the students.
"Expert Bai Mo, too extravagant!"
"Hahaha, today’s a real eye-opener."
"Look, didn’t the video mention head-hand yellow oil crabs?"
"Ours are even bigger than in the video."
Bai Mo smirked, saw Haha Fox had already dismantled one, now snapping through crab legs with claws, working on the second.
"Whimper whimper!"
Haha Fox looked up at the master, gleefully.
These newly arrived crabs were larger, fatter, more flavorful!
His scalp tingled slightly!
Just about to stand and inquire about the situation with the restaurant, his phone vibrating in his pocket, pulled it out, and unexpectedly Master Chong sent a message.
[Expert Bai Mo, I heard from the Crab Emperor’s Residence manager you’re hosting a treat?]
[I added a dish for you, bought the bill]
[You young people enjoy yourselves, I’m not going to join the bustle]
