Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Li Hong'an's face was cloudy and uncertain; he had originally thought that bringing the shop's signature dish today would allow him to show off in front of everyone.

He never expected that the moment Lu Feng's soup dumplings hit the table, the signature dish was instantly killed.

From the moment the soup dumplings were served, no one touched the two dishes he had brought anymore.

However, the taste of the soup dumplings was indeed astonishing; if placed in his own shop, it would undoubtedly be the shop's signature dish.

Li Hong'an calculated how to bring it up later while reaching out with his chopsticks to pick up another one to taste.

Unexpectedly, after his chopsticks reached out, he grabbed nothing.

He came back to his senses and only then discovered that all three plates were already empty.

Gone?

I only ate one and it's gone?

"Little brother, are there more soup dumplings? Not enough to eat!"

Li Hong'an licked his lips; the taste of the soup dumplings still lingered in his mouth, and he couldn't help but look at Lu Feng and say.

Others also looked at Lu Feng with expectant eyes one after another.

"This..."

Being watched by so many people, Lu Feng showed a bit of helplessness on his face.

Seven or eight people sharing three portions of soup dumplings was indeed not enough to eat.

"Gone! There are only this many soup dumplings."

Li Jiang immediately spoke to everyone.

"Gone? I only ate two!"

The person next to Li Hong'an couldn't help but let out a cry of lament, his face full of disappointment.

"Why not make more of such delicious soup dumplings? I haven't eaten enough yet!" another person immediately followed up.

Li Hong'an looked at Lu Feng somewhat doubtfully.

He remembered that the food ingredient box Lu Feng brought when he came was not small; he shouldn't have made so few soup dumplings.

"That... everyone, don't just eat soup dumplings; there are still so many dishes on the table, you should eat something else too."

Li Tian Yong coughed once and greeted them with a composed expression.

Everyone looked at each other with lingering interest and had to focus their attention on the other dishes on the table.

But for those who had tasted the soup dumplings, when they went to eat other dishes, the taste was no longer as delicious as before.

Not many people ate the two dishes Li Hong'an brought either.

Li Hong'an picked up a piece of Beer Duck, put it in his mouth and chewed two bites; the Beer Duck he usually thought was quite delicious now felt less and less tasty the more he chewed.

Suddenly he thought of something, his eyes lit up instantly, he raised his head and looked at Lu Feng and asked: "Lu Feng, didn't you say there are still Fried Noodles? Without soup dumplings, we can try the Fried Noodles too!"

Everyone heard these words; the movements of those who were eating absentmindedly stopped instantly.

Right!

There are still Fried Noodles to eat.

The soup dumplings are so delicious; the taste of the Fried Noodles definitely won't be bad either!

At this moment, everyone in the Living Room no longer doubted Lu Feng's Skill.

Lu Feng was about to speak and say there were, but this time Li Tian Yong spoke first: "The Fried Noodles are for me to have as Longevity Noodles; today is my birthday, I specially asked Lu Feng to make them, so don't even think about it."

Li Jiang couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at his old man.

Wonderful!

This way, the Fried Noodles Lu Feng brought could be left for several more portions.

Originally Li Jiang planned to wait until Lu Feng made the Fried Noodles and secretly hide a portion like the soup dumplings.

He never expected his old man to be even more ruthless than himself, keeping them all directly.

Li Tian Yong's gaze also came over; the father and son's eyes met, and they both revealed a tacit smile.

"Brother, this isn't quite proper, is it? You're hoarding it all for yourself!"

Li Hong'an was somewhat unhappy; he widened his eyes and looked at Li Tian Yong and said: "Brother, today is your birthday, we came from far away, you can't treat us like this!"

"Exactly, and who uses Fried Noodles as Longevity Noodles?"

The person next to him also echoed.

"Why can't it? Aren't Fried Noodles also noodles? Why can't they be Longevity Noodles?" Li Tian Yong said righteously and confidently upon hearing this.

"Brother, when I had my birthday before, you let me eat the Longevity Noodles too!" Li Hong'an's eyes rolled, and then he said with a serious face: "This Longevity Noodle should be eaten by everyone together for good meaning; this is called sharing longevity together, blessings, official rank, and longevity lasting long!"

Others heard this and immediately nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Li Tian Yong heard this and nodded somewhat helplessly, then looked at Lu Feng and said: "Okay okay okay, Xiao Feng, please trouble yourself to make a bit more, let others have a bite too."

When he said this sentence, he deliberately emphasized the tone of the two words "a bit".

Lu Feng was somewhat amused and helpless, then nodded and stood up and walked toward the Kitchen.

The soup dumplings steamed just now should also be out of the pot; by the way, go make Fried Noodles for everyone.

After Lu Feng left the Living Room, no one ate the other dishes anymore; they just waited eagerly for the Fried Noodles to be served.

The Kitchen once again emitted an alluring aroma; those who smelled this aroma showed expectant expressions on their faces.

A few minutes later, Lu Feng carried a large plate of Fried Noodles back to the Living Room.

The plates had just been set on the dining table when everyone impatiently picked up their chopsticks, eager to try.

Seeing everyone's wolfish posture, Li Tian Yong hurriedly used his chopsticks to pick up a clump of fried noodles and put it in the small bowl before him.

He had just finished his movement of picking up noodles when the others, not waiting for Li Tian Yong to speak, immediately started picking them up one chopstick after another.

That speed was comparable to the uncles and aunties scrambling for dishes at a rural banquet.

In the blink of an eye, not a single strand of fried noodles remained in the plate.

As the birthday star, Li Tian Yong only got to eat that very first chopstickful.

The others at the table ate with relish; although it was only a small mouthful, being able to eat such delicious fried noodles already made them feel completely satisfied.

"Young man, your fried noodle culinary skill is truly peerless!"

Someone, after finishing eating, stuck out a thumb and praised loudly.

The others also chimed in one after another, praising Lu Feng's culinary skill incessantly.

Looking at the empty plates on the dining table, those people instantly solidified a resolve.

In the future, they must definitely go to Lu Feng's shop to eat a proper meal.

Finally, Li Tian Yong's birthday banquet ended amid joyous laughter.

The guests who came to celebrate the birthday left one after another, while Lu Feng stayed behind to help tidy the dining table.

When he put the Living Room's bowls and dishes back in the Kitchen, he unintentionally glanced and saw that the Cabinet Door underneath the Kitchen was wide open.

He remembered Li Jiang had previously hidden two portions of xiaolongbao inside.

Lu Feng looked inside with one glance; there was no trace of the xiaolongbao inside anymore, though the plate was still there.

Could it be Li Jiang secretly ate them?

Lu Feng was just puzzling over this when Li Jiang, just right, walked into the Kitchen carrying a stack of bowls and dishes.

"Jiangzi, the two portions of xiaolongbao hidden before, did you eat them?" Lu Feng asked.

Li Jiang shook his head with a blank face: "No, the guests just left, I was planning to eat them in a bit."

At this moment he also saw the open Cabinet Door, and his complexion instantly changed.

Li Jiang put down the bowls and dishes in his hands and rushed hurriedly toward the Balcony.

The Balcony's Gate was also wide open at this time, and a wave of ominous premonition instantly surged in his heart.

Li Jiang couldn't help clenching his fists, his steps somewhat unsteady as he walked to his Bedroom Door.

In the Bedroom, Da Mao lay on the ground, currently licking his lips with a face full of satisfaction.

The gazes of one person and one dog met in midair, and the air was filled with a subtle atmosphere.

"No—"

Li Jiang let out a loud cry to the heavens, his knees went soft, and he knelt on the ground.

His voice was filled with heartache and unwillingness.

Hearing the sound, Lu Feng rushed over; seeing this scene, he instantly understood.

The two portions of xiaolongbao Li Jiang had previously hidden were stolen and eaten by Da Mao again!

He walked forward with a laugh-cry expression and patted Li Jiang's shoulder, wanting to offer a couple words of comfort.

But Li Jiang turned his head, looking at Lu Feng with eyes bloodshot red, and asked word by word.

"Fengzi, do you know how to cook dog meat?"
