The Luxury of Discount King novel Chapter 29

Obviously, the doorman referred to Coleman. As a nerd, he always stayed at home with messy clothes and indulged himself in the Cyberworld. And he didn't even have time to change his clothes when he came to meet Conrad. So he was stopped by the doorman.

"What? You even dare to drive your guest away?" Conrad looked sullen. He couldn't believe that bias against one's dress still existed in the modern world.

"Sorry, sir. This is the rule of the restaurant. And we serve according to the rules as the traditional French restaurant. So the one with scruffy dress is not allowed to enter." The doorman said a bit arrogantly.

Before Conrad was about to argue, Coleman said, "I am fine with that, Conrad. Let me just go back to change my clothes. And it's not far away from here."

"No!" Conrad really hated this restaurant, but since it was Coleman's choice, he decided to give in. So he then took off his suit jacket and put it on for Coleman. Though Coleman still looked a bit weird with the pair of shorts, he seemed to fit the rule here.

"What about now?" Conrad questioned the doorman.

The doorman took a look and agreed seemingly reluctantly. Then he stepped aside and they finally entered the restaurant.

Only one third of the tables here were occupied as the dishes here were quite expensive. Besides, the western food turned to be a bit plainer when compared to the Chinese dishes.

They took seats at a quiet place. A middle-aged foreign waiter in swallow-tailed coat came forward and offered them the menu.

"Just get what you want." Conrad said. Of course, it was on him still.

"Lady first." Coleman still had no idea what to order.

Actually, Amara hadn't tasted the real western food but the localized one. So she only ordered some common dishes that she had ever tasted before such as steak, salad and Spaghetti.

Conrad also browsed the menu. He seldom tasted western food either. So he ordered the specialties in the restaurant such as baked snails, French Goose liver, white wine and so on. As they had no special taste for wine, so Conrad didn't buy on the app.

Both Conrad and Amara finished the order of food, and it was turn for Coleman. He just said, "The same as them."

Conrad also made them choose other dishes freely. The waiter jotted them down and left.

While waiting, Conrad taught Coleman the western table manner such as the use of fork and knife and also how to wrap the napkin. Amara soon learnt them all and started to do as she was told.

But Coleman deemed it a bit troublesome and complained, "Such a trouble to have western food!"

"Of course it's such a trouble. When we have Chinese food, only a pair of chopsticks is needed." Conrad said.

Then the waiter served them the appetizer—a plate of caviar for each one.

The three started to taste it. Coleman put a spoon of caviar into his mouth. But he suddenly frowned as he didn't get used to the taste. But he still swallowed out of courtesy.
