Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Mr. An Liang, thank you very much for your recognition of us!"

Wang Yan hurriedly took the warm towel from the waiter's hand and personally handed it over, her tone filled with excitement: "If you find our dishes to your taste, you are welcome to visit us anytime in the future!"

An Liang took the towel and wiped his hands. Hearing Wang Yan's words, he merely nodded and said nothing more.

He stood up and walked out of the private room, Xiao Yue followed behind him, and Wang Yan, seeing this, immediately enthusiastically followed along.

Seeing the two off all the way to the parking lot, watching the car slowly merge into the traffic, Wang Yan then returned to the restaurant with an excited expression.

On the way back by car, An Liang sat in the back seat, looking at the night scenery outside the window, his brow slightly furrowed.

He was also puzzled in his heart; his behavior today was indeed somewhat abnormal.

In the past, when he tasted dishes, he would only take a small sip, and stop after tasting the flavor.

He would never finish all the dishes just because he thought they were delicious.

Nor would he say something like "don't serve so many dishes if you can't finish them," which even he himself found strange.

This subconscious habit of caring about wasting food and not being able to help but eat all the dishes clean.

Exactly when did this start?

When the car was waiting at a red light, An Liang's gaze fell outside the window, and he unintentionally swept past a small restaurant by the roadside.

The sign on the restaurant was lit up, the bright red "Old Flavor Pig Trotter Rice" was very eye-catching.

After seeing this sign, An Liang involuntarily flashed back to the pig trotter noodles he had eaten in Lu Feng's shop.

Even though several days had passed, the taste of the soft, glutinous, and delicious pig trotter was still fresh in his memory.

Himself, who was always extremely picky about taste, couldn't find a single fault, and in the end drank not a drop of the noodle soup left.

Wait... not a drop left?

An Liang suddenly reacted: wasn't this matter of finishing all the food started from that small restaurant?

After figuring it out, he couldn't help but a faint smile appear on his face, and he muttered to himself: "I didn't expect that boss actually changed my dining habits, truly amazing."

I really want to go to Jiangcheng again and taste the food made by that boss named Lu Feng!

An Liang involuntarily thought in his mind.

"Teacher An Liang, were you talking to me just now?"

Xiao Yue was driving, suddenly hearing An Liang's muttering from the back seat, she glanced at the rearview mirror inside the car and asked.

"No, keep driving."

An Liang came back to his senses, pretended to cough once, and his face returned to a serious expression again.

"Oh."

Xiao Yue responded, but the doubt in her heart had not disappeared; An Liang's behavior tonight was truly too abnormal.

She secretly glanced at An Liang through the rearview mirror, but couldn't see anything from the other person's face.

Xiao Yue had no choice but to suppress her curiosity and refocus her spirit to continue driving.

The car was quiet for a short while, An Liang suddenly opened his mouth and asked: "By the way, Xiao Yue, are there any other restaurant invitations recently?"

When the topic turned to work, Xiao Yue's expression became serious.

She drove while quickly going through the invitations she had received recently in her mind, then replied: "There are some, but Teacher An Liang, didn't you say you wouldn't taste dishes for a while? So I haven't had time to screen them yet."

An Liang made an "en" sound, his gaze cast outside the car window, seemingly casually asking: "Have you received any invitations from Jiangcheng?"

"Jiangcheng?"

Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly opened her mouth: "There is one from Jiangcheng, but..."

"Continue."

An Liang didn't wait for her to finish, directly interrupting, his tone carrying a bit of barely perceptible excitement.

"Teacher An Liang, really want to take it?"

Xiao Yue asked somewhat surprised, then seemed to want to remind something: "But that restaurant is Hong..."

An Liang didn't let her finish speaking, directly waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about so much, since I tell you to take it, you just do as I say."

After saying this, he leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes, looking like he was about to rest with eyes closed.

Seeing he didn't intend to continue discussing, the words already at Xiao Yue's mouth were swallowed back down.

Having followed An Liang for so long, she also knew very well that once An Liang made a decision, he wouldn't easily change it.

Forget it, I'll send an email reply to the other party after returning.

…………

On the Jiangcheng side.

Lu Feng, who had completed his personal stage debut, also browsed around in the System Mall here.

If it weren't for seeing that host young man anxiously starting to draw the next lucky audience member just now.

Lu Feng really wanted to finish singing that song on stage.

To say it or not, looking at the audience below the stage and the host young man being shocked by his voice, it was quite satisfying.

After strolling in the shopping mall for about an hour or so, Lu Feng looked at the time on his watch; it was almost six o'clock now.

He then walked out of the shopping mall, preparing to go to the shop on Food Street, preparing for tonight's business.

When passing by the square outside, Lu Feng also deliberately stopped and looked at the stage on the square again.

The crowd surrounding the stage now had obviously decreased by a large group again.

After he left, he thought those behind him didn't perform as well as him, which was probably why there were fewer people.

Lu Feng naturally thought so, then left Xingda Plaza.

He drove to Food Street, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw that quite a few people had already gathered at the entrance of his shop.

After greeting the regular customers, Lu Feng walked into the shop.

After the system unlocked the tea egg recipe, the System Mall also updated the related ingredients.

The method for making tea eggs is very simple; it is a common street snack seen everywhere.

However, the tea eggs sold outside vary greatly in quality, and very few truly taste especially delicious.

Lu Feng walked into the Kitchen and bought a large pile of ingredients from the System Mall, including tea eggs.

He took the ingredients out of the storeroom and first took the box containing the eggs.

The eggs in the box were one size larger than ordinary eggs, with a fine luster on the shells, feeling extremely smooth to the touch.

Lu Feng casually picked one up and held it in his hand, feeling it was slightly heavier than an ordinary egg.

Even ordinary eggs bought from the System Mall were slightly different from those commonly seen on the market.

Lu Feng then picked up the small jar containing tea leaves beside him, opened the lid, and smelled it.

A rich tea fragrance wafted out, smelling so refreshing it felt as if one were in a tea garden.

Lu Feng nodded in satisfaction; as expected of ingredients specially supplied by the System Mall, just smelling this tea fragrance felt extraordinary.

He took a soft-bristled brush from the shelf, drew some warm water into a basin, and began washing the eggs one by one until clean.

Although the ingredients bought from the System Mall were all very fresh and clean.

However, out of habit, Lu Feng still planned to wash them once first.

While washing, his movements were gentle, carefully brushing every corner of the eggshells.

Soon, all the eggs were washed; Lu Feng took out a stainless steel pot, put the washed eggs into it, then added enough water to cover the eggs.

He turned on the Gas Stove and adjusted it to medium heat, then added another spoonful of salt into the pot.
