Teacher Liu, I saw in the news that Saizeriya is called the 'king of prepared dishes,' but why doesn't everyone criticize it?

Because it’s very honest. It never pretends to cook dishes fresh. As soon as you enter, you know the food is prepared in advance.

Oh, so it’s not done secretly. Is it also because the prices are cheap?

That’s right. For about thirty yuan per person, you can have pasta and pizza. Customers feel the prices are clear and it’s good value.

What about other restaurants? Why do they get criticized?

Some restaurants claim they cook fresh, but they’re really just heating up meal kits and still charge a lot. Customers feel cheated.

I see. It’s not that people hate prepared dishes—they hate pretending.

Exactly. Chinese people often say 'business should be honest.' Saizeriya understands this well.
