Mapo Tofu, Twice-cooked Pork, Kung Pao Chicken, Sauerkraut Fish, Spicy Chicken, Dongpo Pork Hock, Sichuan Boiled Beef, and so on.
A total of 20 dishes were ordered.
The portions at this restaurant were quite generous.
Too much?
No, no, no. Don't underestimate the appetite of any NBA player; these guys... can eat more than you imagine.
The drinks were Budweiser beer and 375ml Sutihan Private Collection Champagne.
Su Yan raised a glass of champagne and started the toast with a smile: "Let's celebrate our incredibly satisfying buzzer-beater win.
I hope.
In the days to come, we can all work hard together, win more games, and prove our worth!"
"Cheers!"
"We'll take Su Yan's auspicious words to heart!"
Everyone clinked glasses and began their feast.
Eating spicy and flavorful Sichuan cuisine, drinking ice-cold and refreshing alcohol, and talking about tonight's incredible comeback buzzer-beater.
This feeling... feels absolutely great!
Eating, drinking, and chatting, everyone spent over two hours, continuing until past 1 AM.
Well fed and well drunk.
Su Yan, who was eloquent and comfortable at the dinner table, had only been here for one day but had already integrated well with everyone.
Seeing that everyone was almost finished eating.
Su Yan got up to pay the bill at the front desk.
David Lee also stood up and smiled, "Su Yan, I'll go with you."
"Okay."
Su Yan didn't mind.
The two went to the front desk together.
A beautiful Miss handed over the bill.
20 dishes, averaging 60 US dollars each, totaling 1,200 US dollars. It didn't seem too expensive.
But if converted into Dragon Country Currency.
That one meal cost over 8,000 yuan, which was indeed not cheap.
Of course... domestic cuisine is expensive abroad anyway, and this place is also near Madison Square Garden, counting as tourist area dining.
The quantity was also quite large.
So the price was actually acceptable.
The main cost was the alcohol.
Everyone was quite capable and fond of drinking, consuming three cases of Budweiser and 20 bottles of Sutihan Private Collection Champagne.
Budweiser wasn't expensive, 60 US dollars a case, but the 20 bottles of Sutihan Private Collection Champagne were 500 US dollars a bottle.
The Miss politely said, "Gentlemen, the total is 11,380 US dollars. Will you be paying by card or cash?"
"Hiss..."
David Lee's mouth twitched. "Over ten thousand US dollars for one meal, that's really not cheap.
That champagne really isn't cheap."
David Lee was a genuine second-generation rich, and he immediately realized that the champagne was expensive.
Although it was still far from top-tier champagne.
But this was just a regular team dinner, and spending over ten thousand US dollars suddenly hurt a bit.
"Su Yan, let me handle it. You're the newcomer, how can we let you treat us? This meal is on me!"
David Lee said with a laugh, then took out a bank card.
He followed along precisely to pay the bill.
With so many people present, it wouldn't be right to let an Undrafted Player who just turned 19 and only signed a short-term contract pay for the meal.
How could they let that happen?
Besides... this meal really wasn't cheap.
"It's fine.
I said I was treating, so how can I let you pay? Besides, it's only a little over ten thousand, which isn't expensive."
Su Yan waved his hand, gently pushed David Lee's card-holding hand away, and handed his own card to the Miss at the front desk. "Please swipe the card."
"Certainly, sir."
The Miss politely took the card, settled the bill, and returned both the bank card and the receipt:
"Sir, here is your receipt, please keep it safe. Thank you for your patronage, and welcome back!!!"
"Okay, thank you."
Su Yan took the card and the receipt and thanked her.
"Only... over ten thousand?"
Listen, is that something a person should say?
This was just a regular post-game dinner, hey, this is really expensive.
To be honest, at Su Yan's age, I wouldn't be willing to spend this much money treating a group of people I'd only just met.
This is truly generous.
How should I put it? He must be incredibly rich.
"Let's go, time to tell everyone to head back and rest."
Su Yan, who had spent over ten thousand US dollars, waved his hand and returned to the private room, chatting and laughing as if he had only swiped a hundred US dollars, completely unconcerned.
David Lee followed behind.
His favorable impression of Su Yan rose yet again.
Generous, talkative, and easy to get along with—it's hard for anyone not to like a player like this.
"We just ate a little tonight, and it was a bit rushed, so I apologize if the hospitality wasn't perfect!
Next time, I'll treat everyone to even better Dragon Country cuisine."
Inside the private room.
Su Yan said with a smile.
"Nonsense, the food tonight was spicy and delicious, the champagne tasted great, and we are very satisfied!"
Douby said with a laugh.
Gallinari rubbed his full, bulging stomach and chuckled, "Thank you for the treat, Su Yan, I feel a little embarrassed!"
"Su Yan is too polite."
After the meal, everyone was more familiar with each other, and among men, there was no need for formalities, just simple pleasantries.
They left, slinging their arms over each other's shoulders.
Everyone went their separate ways.
Larry Hughes and David Lee still needed to retrieve some things from the locker room, so they headed back together.
On the way.
Larry Hughes asked, "I saw you go with Su Yan to pay the bill earlier. That meal must have cost a lot of money.
At least 2,000 to 3,000 US dollars.
It doesn't seem right to let a newcomer treat us like that. Should we try to chip in tomorrow?"
"2,000 to 3,000?"
David Lee rolled his eyes at Larry Hughes. "You're thinking too small; that meal cost over 11,000 US dollars."
"Hiss..."
Larry Hughes twitched his mouth severely after hearing that. "No way, a simple post-game dinner cost that much?!"
"Yup."
David Lee nodded. "Those 20 bottles of champagne were expensive, wiping out ten thousand US dollars immediately."
"Shit, bro!"
Larry Hughes was shocked. "It's not about how much 10,000 US dollars is, but the nature of this meal.
Su Yan is truly generous.
I saw how casual he looked earlier and thought it wasn't much money, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive."
"Ha..."
David Lee shook his head and smiled. "I also thought it was expensive, but Su Yan didn't even blink when he swiped the card.
He's clearly a rich man.
The key is... he was willing to spend money on us, that's the crucial part."
"That's right."
Larry Hughes nodded. "They say the richer people are, the stingier they are, but Su Yan only met us yesterday.
And he treated us to such a good meal.
He's truly a great guy!"
On their way back, the nine New York Knicks players couldn't stop thinking about Su Yan's generosity and kindness.
As for Su Yan.
He wasn't thinking much about it. He had briefly scanned the menu prices and felt that he was far from 10,000 US dollars.
He roughly calculated.
He just ordered a few bottles of the Sutihan Private Collection Champagne, which was considered mid-range at this restaurant, to push the consumption amount past 10,000 US dollars.
That was just right.
