Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Zhu Chang patted his chubby belly contentedly, savoring the deliciousness of the Lion's Head with lingering delight.

Though he had only eaten two Lion's Heads, he felt a strange sense of contentment in his stomach.

Although these two Lion's Heads hadn't filled him up at all, not even counting as an appetizer.

But now he had no desire whatsoever to go elsewhere to keep eating.

Of course, if Lu Feng's Shop didn't limit purchases, he would definitely not hesitate to eat several more portions.

In the past, after leaving Lu Feng's little shop, he would still have to go to several nearby restaurants to completely fill his belly.

He would also pack several portions of street-side fried skewers, barbecue, big chicken legs, and such to eat as late-night snacks in the evening.

Since getting used to Lu Feng's culinary skill, eating those messy things he used to love always made him less and less inclined to want them.

A couple of days ago, passing by a braised food shop on Food Street, the boss enthusiastically gave him a glistening braised pig trotter.

Zhu Chang was a regular at the shop; this free braised pig trotter was considered a benefit for this old customer.

He took it excitedly and ate while walking, but after just a few bites, he somehow recalled that bowl of fragrant pig trotter noodles he had eaten at Lu Feng's Shop last week.

The pig trotters made by Lu Boss melted in the mouth, with a meat fragrance carrying a hint of sweetness, and even the bones were flavorful.

But this braised pig trotter was a chore to chew; after chewing for a long time it still wasn't fully tender, and it was a bit too salty.

Compared like this, this braised pig trotter instantly became hard to swallow.

But after all, it was the braised food shop boss's goodwill; throwing it straight into the garbage bin would be too wasteful.

Zhu Chang finally took that pig trotter, which he had only gnawed on two bites, home and threw it to the stray dog downstairs.

He himself hadn't noticed that lately, after returning home in the evening, he rarely ate snacks anymore.

It was precisely because of this that, in just over a week, he looked a bit thinner.

"Thanks to Lu Boss's culinary skill, I'm heading out now!"

Zhu Chang wiped his mouth, with a satisfied expression on his face, stood up, and waved toward the kitchen.

Lu Feng in the kitchen turned his head, smiled and nodded, then continued to busy himself.

"Take care, welcome back next time."

Hu Xiaoyun at the front desk also smiled and waved in response.

These past two weeks, this person who was cutely chubby would come to the shop every day to eat, then leave after finishing.

From the beginning when his complexion was somewhat pale and he panted slightly after walking a few steps, now his complexion had become much rosier.

Hu Xiaoyun had seen these changes during this period, and she also found it very miraculous.

Zhu Chang was also very satisfied with his current state.

He felt as if he had discovered a new weight-loss road: that was to often come eat the food made by Lu Boss.

Using food to lose weight—this is truly the most comfortable way to lose weight!

Zhu Chang had just reached the door when Shui Guo Dian owner Lao Zhang also happened to finish eating and followed him out, smiling as he patted his shoulder: "Pig Large Intestine, how is it? I told you you'd lose weight, right?"

"Yeah, I really did lose weight!"

This time Zhu Chang didn't hesitate, nodding firmly to admit it.

"It seems Lu Boss's culinary skill is indeed miraculous; you haven't dropped weight in how many years? It's almost unscientific!"

The fruit shop owner said jokingly with a smile.

"Why don't you say it's because I come here to eat every day, exercising more, so I lost weight? Now I climb stairs up and down every time I go out—sixth floor! How could I not lose weight?"

Zhu Chang puffed out his round belly and retorted with a serious expression.

"Put that way, it does make some sense; to lose weight you still need to exercise more."

The fruit shop owner nodded firmly, while not forgetting to humblebrag: "No wonder my figure has stayed so good." "You wait! In a few months, maybe my belly will go down, and then you can't call me Pig Large Intestine anymore."

Zhu Chang said with a hearty laugh and left the shop with light steps.

On this side, Xiao Feilong brought three new faces, following the queuing diners, and together walked into Lu Feng's shop.

Just as he crossed the shop door, Xiao Feilong was drawn by the aroma rushing toward him, his stomach growling loudly.

"Finally almost my turn!"

Xiao Feilong swallowed the saliva constantly surging in his mouth, looking ahead excitedly.

But the three streamers behind him were not as excited as him; each appeared very calm.

They three were also in the streaming world, often connecting during streams, and were good friends with Xiao Feilong in private.

Xiao Feilong waved his hand generously and said to the other three streamers: "See what you want to eat later, order whatever you want, I'm treating today! But one thing to note: each person can only order one portion of food."

"Xiao Feilong, you're treating us to a meal; it's fine if we don't go to a better place, but why can we only order one portion?"

A male streamer with long hair glanced at the diners eating in the hall and said with some dissatisfaction in his tone: "We're all here without having eaten dinner; one portion isn't enough at all."

He was called Zhang Chao, and he and Xiao Feilong both entered the industry through game streaming.

The two first met while playing games; Zhang Chao had better skills and often carried Xiao Feilong to rank up.

Later, when the streaming industry rose, he and Xiao Feilong both became game streamers.

The two streamed and played games together every day; Zhang Chao spoke humorously and frequently coined golden lines, attracting many fans to watch.

Later Xiao Feilong accidentally discovered a food track more suited to himself, while he still persisted in doing game streaming.

Zhang Chao had great talent in playing games and also won the love of many fans with his superb gaming skills.

But compared to the current Xiao Feilong, his fan count could not catch up to Xiao Feilong's at all.

Xiao Feilong was not an ungrateful person, and even now he often did livestream link-ups with him, helping him gain quite a few followers.

Zhang Chao's words had a reason behind them; he usually livestreamed until late at night, and when hungry he ordered takeout starting with two portions.

Therefore, upon hearing Xiao Feilong say that each person could only eat one portion, he subconsciously felt it definitely wouldn't be enough.

"Right, Xiao Feilong, you don't know my Big Stomach King Xiao Man's nickname? Can this one portion fill me up?"

The Food Blogger named Gu Manman behind Zhang Chao also chimed in agreement.

Her family ran a supermarket, not small in scale, selling everything from snacks to seafood.

And the short videos she filmed were also related to her family's supermarket.

The title alone was enough to attract people: What's it like to raise a thief at home?

Every video was late at night, after her parents had fallen asleep, Gu Manman sneaked out from home and ran to her family's supermarket to secretly eat all sorts of delicious things.

Don't look at her small stature, but her appetite was actually on par with Xiao Feilong.

Xiao Feilong had previously expressed doubt about this, and the two had a competition at a buffet restaurant.

As a result, the two ate so much that even the restaurant Boss couldn't sit still, and only after pleading for mercy did he manage to send off these two Big Stomach Kings.

In that competition, neither side won.

For this Xiao Feilong clicked his tongue in amazement; with his build, eating a bit more was normal.

But Gu Manman was petite in stature, where did such a big appetite come from?

He even suspected that inside Gu Manman's stomach was hidden a bottomless black hole.

Now she, bearing the title "Big Stomach King Xiao Man," upon hearing that today she could only eat one portion, her face fell at once.
