Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"I'm so hungry right now!"

"Xiao Yun, please, give me one more to eat, okay?"

Several girls' faces were full of longing; only now did they understand why Lin Meimei had said what she did earlier.

This flavor simply couldn't be resisted by human willpower!

Although they had only eaten a tiny piece, their appetites had already been opened by now.

There was only one thought in their minds: eat one more... no! Two!

They even wanted to eat more.

Hu Xiaoyun watched the noisy scene before her, feeling both helpless and amused.

If the few of them made such a big commotion and disturbed another dormitory later, calling the dormitory auntie wouldn't be good.

"Alright, alright, stop fighting over them; let's split the remaining steamed buns equally among us."

Upon hearing this, the four girls finally behaved themselves, and each received another steamed bun.

Moments later, the two takeout boxes on the table were spotless.

The four girls stared at the empty boxes; after a moment of silence, the rationality destroyed by the delicious food was once again reclaimed.

Thinking of the steamed buns they had just eaten, they couldn't help but let out a simultaneous cry of despair.

"It's over! I'm supposed to be losing weight! How could I not resist eating late-night snacks!"

"After eating one steamed bun, I'll have to run several extra laps on the playground tomorrow..."

"My figure... why didn't anyone stop me earlier?"

"Exactly! Xiao Mei, why didn't you hold me back earlier? You're harming me!"

The four girls came to their senses and all looked at Lin Meimei, as if she were the culprit.

Of course, they wouldn't blame Hu Xiaoyun.

Just after eating what someone brought back, they turned around and blamed that person.

Isn't that like eating a full meal and beating the cook?

Lin Meimei rolled her eyes: "How did I not stop you? Earlier, you were all like wolves starving for days, almost tearing the two of us apart; should I have tied you up with rope?"

The four girls smiled embarrassedly; they had just been joking.

"Xiao Yun, is Lu Boss open tomorrow? I want to go eat there tomorrow too!"

A girl savored the flavor from earlier, looking at Hu Xiaoyun with bright eyes.

"I'm going too!"

"Bring me one!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the other three girls excitedly raised their hands.

"Oh? You few aren't losing weight anymore, not eating cucumbers and vegetables?"

Lin Meimei said teasingly with a smile.

"Vacation starts soon; if we want to eat something this delicious again, we'll have to wait until school starts, so let's eat more times while there are still a few days left!"

"There's plenty of time to lose weight at home during summer break; let's eat enough first!"

"What's more important than food—losing weight? Big deal, we'll just run a few more laps on the playground after eating!"

"Don't you think I actually look better a bit plumper..."

The four girls chattered excuses for themselves; at this moment, losing weight had become unimportant to them.

Compared to Lu Boss's food, losing weight could be set aside for now.

Watching their excited expressions, Hu Xiaoyun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The boss's culinary skill was indeed irresistible; even the most determined weight-loss faction couldn't withstand it.

But if she knew about Lin Xi's situation, she probably wouldn't be surprised.

A flavor even anorexia patients couldn't resist—what were weight-loss people anyway?

…………

The next day, six o'clock in the evening.

Following the system's instructions, Lu Feng drove to Hong'an Restaurant in the city center.

Speaking of Hong'an Restaurant, its scale was indeed larger than his small shop on Food Street.

The restaurant had three floors: the first floor was a spacious hall, the second floor had elegant private rooms, and the third floor was the office area.

The gilded signboard above the gate shone with dazzling light in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Two beautiful receptionists with smiles stood at the entrance.

Lu Feng walked into the gate of Hong'an Restaurant; upon entering the hall, he felt the coolness of the air conditioning, as if it were a different world from the thirty-plus-degree heat outside.

There were many customers in the first-floor hall, and waiters in white uniforms shuttled back and forth between the tables and chairs.

The diners' chatter mixed with the waiters' calls for orders, making the restaurant very lively.

As soon as Lu Feng entered, the waiter near the door noticed him and quickly came over.

"Sir, are you here to dine? Please follow me."

The waiter had a standard smile on her face and spoke gently, making a welcoming gesture toward Lu Feng.

Lu Feng's gaze swept across the hall; the customers at several tables near the door were all red-faced, appearing to have drunk quite a bit of alcohol.

Their loud calls echoed through the Hall; he had heard them clearly even before he entered the Gate just now.

Just standing at the Door listening for a while now made his head buzz.

Lu Feng withdrew his gaze and said to the Waiter, "I want a Window Seat."

The Waiter immediately understood and nodded with a smile.

Lu Feng followed behind the Waiter and arrived at a corner Window Seat.

Walking over, he discovered that almost every table had a plate of Red Braised Pork set on it.

Judging by the Appearance, Cheng Fan's Red Braised Pork is quite popular at Hong'an Restaurant.

Lu Feng pulled over a chair and Sat Down, glancing out the window.

Outside was the city center street; there really wasn't much to see.

If it were a sky-high restaurant in a big city, sitting by the window eating delicacies while admiring the night view outside would have a different flavor.

"Sir, if you want to sightsee, you can go to the Private Room on the second floor."

Seeing this, the Waiter recommended with a smile, "From the second floor you can see the musical fountain on the opposite plaza; the scenery is quite nice."

Lu Feng shook his head and smiled, "No need, here is fine."

He didn't come here today to sightsee.

The reason he sat here was purely to be a bit farther from those several tables of noisy diners.

He just wanted to quietly complete the Sign-in Task the system arranged for today.

Seeing this, the Waiter didn't say anything more, simply tidied the table for Lu Feng and left, then returned very soon holding an exquisite menu.

"Sir, this is the menu; take a look at what you'd like to eat."

Lu Feng reached out to take the menu and flipped through a few pages.

This menu looks very new; it should have been made not long ago.

Opening past the cover, the first page is a full spread of Red Braised Pork pictures.

The Red Braised Pork in the pictures looks quite exquisite; just looking at the pictures indeed whets the appetite.

His purpose for coming today was also to Taste this Signature Braised Pork.

But right now it just happens to be mealtime; what he ate at home at noon has long since digested, and his stomach is a bit hungry now.

Come to think of it, it's been a long time since he went out to eat a good meal; he might as well Take Advantage of this Opportunity to settle Dinner as well.

"Besides this Signature Braised Pork, does your Shop Inside have any other recommended specialty dishes?"

He had been to Hong'an Restaurant a few times before, but that was when he used to work; Li Jiang brought him.

Back then the Shop Inside's dishes were mostly home-style cooking, quite different from the dishes in this menu.

Ever since he opened his own Restaurant, almost every meal he eats his own cooking; he Rarely eats outside flavors anymore.

Today happens to be a change of taste; listening to the Waiter's recommendations isn't bad either.

The Waiter leaned in slightly, Movements Gentle as she turned the menu to the "Specialty Recommendations" pages and pointed, saying:

"Sir, you can try these few newly launched specialty dishes of ours."

After that, she began introducing the highlights and characteristics of each dish in detail one by one.

Lu Feng swept a glance over them, then said, "These five specialty dishes, one Portion each, plus another Portion of Signature Braised Pork, and a Bowl of rice for the staple."

"Sir, our Shop Inside's portions are not small; if you're eating alone, I suggest ordering three dishes."

Seeing Lu Feng was alone, and he ordered six dishes including the Signature Braised Pork, the Waiter politely reminded him.

After that, she seemed to worry her reminder seemed abrupt, and added another sentence.

"Of Course, if you want to Taste different flavors, you can order them; just afraid you won't finish them."

Lu Feng smiled and Waved his Hand, "It's fine, if I can't finish I'll get Takeaway."

He also knows he alone can't finish this many dishes, but today he rarely goes out to eat once; if he only ordered two or three, he might as well go back and cook himself.

If he can't finish, he can also pack it and take it back; tomorrow noon at the Villa he'll have a few more dishes for the meal.

"Alright, please wait a moment, your dishes will be Soon Ready."

Seeing Lu Feng so Persistent, the Waiter didn't say more, politely took the menu to place the order.

"Xiao Lu? How come you're here? Rare guest!"

The Waiter had just left Not Long after, when a warm voice rang out from the other end of the Hall.
