Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Following the direction Hu Xiaoyun's finger pointed, he took a glance at the Price List on the wall.

"Let me take a look... Huh? Today it's Five-Spice Tea Eggs?"

Zhu Chang spotted the newly added content on the wall at One Glance, and the Excitement on his face faded a bit.

He scratched his shiny bald forehead, muttering with some disappointment: "How come it's Tea Eggs? I thought it would be a hard dish like the Red Braised Pork Lion's Head from the day before yesterday..."

He hadn't finished speaking when his gaze swept to the price following the Five-Spice Tea Eggs on the wall, and he instantly Stunned for a moment.

Zhu Chang thought his eyesight had declined from staying up late rushing manuscripts recently, and he had misread it.

He rubbed his eyes, squinting to look carefully again.

The next second, his originally not-large eyes suddenly widened round.

"Xiao Yun, the price of this Tea Egg... did you forget a decimal point? How come it says 88 yuan per Portion?"

Zhu Chang moved forward a bit, pointing at the Tea Egg price on the wall, asking with a voice of disbelief.

This shout of his instantly drew the attention of those diners behind, and they all turned to look at the Price List on the wall.

"Holy crap? Am I seeing things? Tea Eggs 88 per Portion?"

"Is it written wrong? Should be 8.8, right?"

"Definitely written wrong, where would there be Tea Eggs sold this Expensive?"

After those diners behind saw the Tea Egg price clearly, they started discussing in a hubbub.

Hu Xiaoyun was just about to explain when a burst of Footsteps came from the Kitchen behind.

Lu Feng walked out from the Kitchen, smiling at the diners in the Hall: "The price isn't wrong, Brother Zhu, want a Portion to Taste?"

"Price not wrong? Really 88 per Portion?"

Zhu Chang was truly shocked this time, Can't Help but sucking in a breath of cold air.

Lu Feng smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhu Chang with an expectant gaze.

"No need!"

Zhu Chang Waved Hand repeatedly, Refusing Lu Feng's recommendation without any Hesitation, then quickly said: "Still give me a Portion of Lion's Head!"

After speaking, he Can't Help but start muttering in his heart again.

When did Tea Eggs become this Expensive?

Could it really be like that meme circulating online before, that he too has become someone who can't afford Tea Eggs?

It seems a long time ago, there was such a meme circulating online.

Saying eating Tea Eggs is tycoon behavior.

When he saw it then, he only felt it was absurd and ridiculous.

Never expected so many years later, today seeing the Tea Egg price at Lu Feng's place, that long-sealed memory surged out again.

But Boss Lu's Tea Egg price is also too outrageous.

This price, although not to the point of saying he can't afford it, is really Unacceptable.

Actually the price of 88 isn't particularly Expensive per se.

But Tea Eggs, this kind of snack seen everywhere daily, outside they sell for at most one or two yuan.

But here, the price has flipped dozens of times!

This is a bit unjustifiable.

Although Lion's Head's price is more Expensive than Tea Eggs, compared to Tea Eggs, the cost-performance ratio shoots up at once.

The Queuing diners also pointed at the prices on the wall, discussing in low voices.

Hu Xiaoyun seeing this scene, Can't Help but secretly tugged Lu Feng's clothes corner, saying softly: "Boss, otherwise... you tell everyone the basis for this Tea Egg pricing? Otherwise everyone thinks it's Too Expensive."

Lu Feng Shook Head, gaze sweeping over the Queuing diners in the Hall, smiling: "Everyone thinking it's Expensive doesn't matter, can Order other things first, those interested can Taste a Taste."

Zhu Chang finished paying for the Lion's Head, standing to one side silently waiting, hearing Lu Feng's words, Can't Help but looking at the Tea Egg on the Price List again.

A few points of Curiosity rose in his heart: Could this Tea Egg really be worth such an Expensive price?

Boss Lu is really becoming more and more unfathomable.

Fortunately he is Lu Feng's loyal diner, if it were a new diner, seeing Tea Eggs sold this Expensive.

Wouldn't they just Turn Around and leave?

Lu Feng seeing Zhu Chang ignore his personal recommendation, decisively ordering Lion's Head, his face had no waves.

He very casually shrugged his shoulders, Turned Around and walked into the Kitchen.

Actually when the system first unlocked the Tea Egg Recipe/Diet Plan, Lu Feng seeing the system's set price of 88, also felt it was a bit outrageous.

Evening after the Tea Eggs were cooked, he casually fished one up and Tasted the Flavor.

One bite down, he instantly felt this price was quite reasonable.

The Tea Eggs he cooked, although looking at them, there's no difference from those on street-side breakfast stalls.

But the Flavor, is fundamentally not on the same level at all.

As for diners feeling the price is Expensive, he can also understand.

Right now they haven't Tasted the Tea Egg Flavor yet, their Impression of Tea Eggs still stays at the level of one or two yuan each.

If someone is willing to buy a Portion to Taste, they will Definitely feel it's worth every penny.

Next, the diners began to continue Ordering in turn.

"Dear diners, the shop's newly launched Five-Spice Tea Eggs have a pure flavor — would everyone like to give them a try?"

Hu Xiaoyun stood behind the Counter, enthusiastically recommending them to the diners Queuing in front of her.

Although she had not yet Tasted the flavor of the tea eggs, at the same time she also felt that the price of 88 per Portion was indeed Expensive.

But she could sense Lu Feng's kind of confidence, and also believed that these tea eggs must surely possess subtleties ordinary people cannot comprehend.

Perhaps the Boss's tea eggs really are worth this price.

However the diners behind just now, upon hearing the tea eggs' price, without exception all chose other dishes.

"Lu Boss, your tea eggs... do they use ostrich eggs? Can one equal ten?"

Tong'an Hospital's doctor Zhang Xianyang, his gaze falling on the uncovered pot in the Kitchen, said with a Smile, teasingly.

He got off work early today and came to Queue, originally wanting to Taste the New Dish Lu Feng made tonight.

But after seeing the tea eggs' somewhat outrageous price, he instantly dispelled this thought.

He just now originally wanted to say "Do your tea eggs use golden eggs?"

But he felt those words sounded too heavily sarcastic, so he changed to another way of saying it.

Lu Feng in the Kitchen turned his head, Smiling at Zhang Xianyang: "If they really were ostrich eggs, this pot of mine wouldn't hold them either — they're just ordinary chicken eggs, want a Portion to try?"

Zhang Xianyang decisively Shook his Head: "If this price were for other dishes I could still accept it, but tea eggs... forget it, I've never eaten tea eggs this Expensive, just give me a Portion of Red Braised Pork."

"Alright."

Lu Feng, having failed to recommend again, did not feel dejected at all, calmly replied and then continued busying himself.

He did not feel the slightest bit of Hurry in his heart.

Lu Feng knew these tea eggs, ordinary people would feel are not worth this much.

Tea, this thing, in Ancient Times, was a luxury only nobles and the wealthy could enjoy.

It's just that now society has developed rapidly, tea costs have already greatly decreased, everyone can afford tea leaves.

Therefore tea eggs boiled with tea leaves have also become low-class snacks unable to grace elegant halls, only able to silently waft fragrance in streets and alleys.

But the tea eggs he makes are naturally not ordinary tea eggs.

If someone Tastes them, they will naturally understand where their value lies.
