Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Didn't I just say? Giving you three one piece each."

Grandpa Qin picked up his chopsticks and said irritably, then warily added: "We agreed on this, if anyone tries to snatch from me, I'll get mad at them!"

"Tsk, only one piece..." Liu Zhen Guo swallowed his saliva, muttering softly.

"Getting one piece is already not bad."

Grandpa Qin glared at him, then carefully picked up a piece of meat, his movements extremely gentle.

It wasn't that he wanted to deliberately whet the three's appetites, but because this red braised pork was stewed too soft.

The chopsticks had just touched the meat piece, and he felt it was soft and floppy; picking it up it trembled, like jelly.

Grandpa Qin tried hard to control the force of his chopsticks, afraid that a slight exertion would make the meat piece fall apart.

"Old Qin, here here! Give me first!"

Liu Zhen Guo anxiously lightly patted the table, eyes dead fixed on the red braised pork on Grandpa Qin's chopsticks, mouth constantly urging.

Grandpa Qin had just put the meat into his bowl when he immediately grabbed his chopsticks, picked it up and sent it into his mouth.

The meat had just entered his mouth, before he could even chew a couple of times it completely dispersed, the rich fragrance instantly spreading to every corner of his oral cavity.

Liu Zhen Guo quickly chewed twice, his throat subconsciously rolled, and the red braised pork slid down his esophagus.

He couldn't help but stare blankly, the corner of his mouth still stained with sauce, couldn't help sticking out his tongue to lick it, touched his belly with a blank face: "Eh? What flavor was this red braised pork... I hadn't even tasted it, how is it gone?"

Beside him, Xu Shao Ying leisurely used chopsticks to pick up meat, eating in small cherished bites, hearing him say this, couldn't help laughing out loud: "Old Liu, you're like Pig Bajie eating Ginseng Fruit? I've only taken two bites and you've already finished?"

Opposite, Zhao Jian Hua was also amused, holding up his chopsticks with half a piece of red braised pork still on them, waving it in front of Liu Zhen Guo, deliberately smacking his lips loudly

Liu Zhen Guo licked his lips, his gaze falling again onto the plate in front of Grandpa Qin.

Grandpa Qin was just picking up meat about to send it into his mouth, seeing his gaze, hurriedly used his hand to shield the plate in front of him, staring at Liu Zhen Guo with a thief-guarding gaze.

Then, with lightning speed, he hurriedly stuffed the meat clamped on his chopsticks directly into his mouth.

"Mmph!"

A wave of meat fragrance instantly occupied his entire oral cavity, his teeth hadn't even exerted force when the meat piece shattered into pieces in his mouth, truly melt-in-the-mouth.

As his teeth began to chew, the fragrance was further stimulated out, the flavor becoming even richer.

The lean meat had chewiness, yet wasn't the least bit tough; his teeth could clearly feel the sensation of lean meat fibers snapping.

The fat meat interspersed within melted warmly in his mouth, chewing soft and glutinous, carrying threads of sweet fragrance.

The pork skin on the red braised pork, with a bouncy gelatinous texture, made a creaking sound when bitten.

In an instant, the pork's own fresh fragrance, mixed with the sauce's deliciousness, this flavor could simply make one forget everything.

This one bite down, truly ate out a full sense of happiness.

Grandpa Qin's face unconsciously revealed an expression of enjoyment, smiling, the red braised pork in his mouth chewed for a long time before he finally reluctantly swallowed.

"Old Qin... I ate too fast just now, didn't pay attention to what flavor this meat actually was."

After Grandpa Qin swallowed the red braised pork in his mouth, Liu Zhen Guo put on a smiling face, shamelessly leaned over and said: "Let me taste another piece? Just one piece!"

"No way! I just told you, one piece each, you ate too fast yourself, who can you blame?"

Grandpa Qin smacked his lips, gave Liu Zhen Guo a sidelong glance, and moved the plate closer to himself.

"I was just too anxious..."

Liu Zhen Guo stood up, picked up his own portion of Pig Trotter Noodles and placed it in front of Grandpa Qin: "How about I trade all my pig trotters for another piece of red braised pork?"

Grandpa Qin shook his head like a rattle-drum, no matter what Liu Zhen Guo said, he just wouldn't agree.

Seeing Grandpa Qin refused to trade no matter what he said, Liu Zhen Guo could only sigh, dejectedly sat back down, picked up his chopsticks and started eating his own portion of Pig Trotter Noodles.

"Xiao Lu's culinary skill is truly amazing! This meat melts in the mouth, fatty but not greasy, much better than the private kitchen dishes I ate in Jingcheng last time!"

Zhao Jian Hua chewed the meat piece in his mouth, saying with a satisfied face.

"Indeed not bad."

Xu Shao Ying also slowly chewed, eating while continuously nodding: "Lean meat not tough, fat meat not greasy, even the skin eats soft and glutinous, this culinary skill indeed isn't something ordinary people can make, very perfect."

"You guys just said red braised pork eats greasy? This meat I could eat until stuffed, and still wouldn't feel greasy!"

Grandpa Qin picked up a second piece of red braised pork and put it in his mouth, narrowing his eyes eating with his mouth full of fragrance.

Watching the other three all eating with faces of satisfaction, Liu Zhen Guo couldn't help but sigh again.

If only I hadn't eaten so fast just now, the flavor wasn't tasted enough before it was gone.

Looks like this regret can only be made up for tomorrow when I eat red braised pork again.

…………

On the other side, the young man had already received the xiaolongbao he ordered.

"Speed-wise it's quite fast."

He took the xiaolongbao's steamer basket from Hu Xiaoyun's hands, muttering to himself.

The young man carried the steamer basket and wandered a circle in the Hall, those diners' gazes at him all carried some unfriendly meaning.

But he didn't care at all, found an empty seat in a corner and sat down.

The young man opened the steamer basket's lid, a burst of white steam rose up, a wave of heat mixed with the filling's rich savoriness and the wrapper's wheat fragrance rushed at his face.

The fragrance surged into his nasal cavity, making him involuntarily stare blankly for a moment.

This flavor... smells pretty good!

But...

After the white steam dispersed, the six snow-white steamed buns in the steamer basket were arranged neatly, looking very exquisite.

"Sixty-eight for one portion, selling it so expensive, and only six? That's too few, isn't it?"

The young man's brow furrowed again, habitually complaining.

He patiently waited for the temperature of the steamed buns to drop slightly, then picked up his chopsticks, picked up one and put it into his mouth, carefully taking a bite.

In the instant the fresh and tender filling with soup burst in his mouth, the young man was slightly stunned.

A matchlessly fresh and fragrant flavor instantly wrapped his entire mouth, all the fragrance bursting forth in his mouth.

The seasoning of the bun filling could be called perfect, the taste just right without overpowering the flavor of the ingredients themselves.

The bun skin was springy and chewy, and one could still taste a faint wheat fragrance while eating.

The filling was chopped very finely; biting down, meat juice overflowed, and after blending with the fresh soup, it formed an indescribable delicacy.

The taste of these steamed buns greatly exceeded the young man's expectations.

The young man finished one steamed bun in two bites, raised his head somewhat surprised, glanced at Lu Feng busy in the kitchen, then couldn't help but pick up another, an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"This taste... really isn't bad."

The young man praised somewhat unwillingly.

As soon as these words left his mouth, he knew he had been conquered by the taste of these steamed buns.

After eating two steamed buns, the young man put down his chopsticks, stared at the steamed buns in front of him for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up and shouted loudly toward the kitchen: "Boss, come here!"

This sudden shout sounded somewhat abrupt amid the chatting and laughter of the other diners in the hall.

The other diners all looked at the young man with confused expressions, and Hu Xiaoyun at the counter also had a confused expression.

What trick is this guy up to again?
