Protagonist:

Lu Feng

The live stream room was in chaos; Zhang Chao wanted to explain, but didn't know how to explain.

He also hadn't expected that the tea eggs newly added today would actually sell for this high a price.

Those fans Zhang Chao had brought along were also starting to stir restlessly at this moment.

"Holy shit... two tea eggs equal two days of my meal money, today was an eye-opener!"

"Doesn't feel worth it? Other dishes being a bit more expensive than elsewhere is one thing, but these tea eggs are a full several dozen times more expensive!"

"Brother Chao, how about we just leave, this shop is too much of a rip-off!"

Zhang Chao was also very anxious inside; he had originally come today wanting everyone to witness Lu Feng's culinary skill.

He hadn't expected a sky-high-priced tea egg to pop up; now it was a bit hard to explain clearly.

Seeing the fans behind him also starting to waver, he hurriedly shouted persuasively: "Everyone don't panic yet, we've almost reached the front of the line, in a bit I'll ask Boss Lu, there's definitely a reason for this..."

His words had just fallen when the live stream room's bullet comments erupted in another wave of mockery.

"Brother Chao, stop explaining, if you keep whitewashing this black shop the fans are all going to run away!"

"What reason could make the boss sell tea eggs this expensively?"

"So opening a restaurant makes this much money? Brothers, I'm planning to open a shop selling tea eggs too, I won't be as black-hearted as this shop, only selling at 19 yuan each, hahaha..."

"The brother upstairs has ideas, might as well have Brother Chao help you promote it too!"

"I'll squat a bit longer, I want to see if someone buys these tea eggs later, eats them and feels they're not worth the price, how Brother Chao will round things out!"

"Brother Chao don't go offline, melon seeds are ready, front row waiting!"

Zhang Chao looked at the sharp-tongued discussions in the bullet comments with a helpless face.

Right when he didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard a loud roar come from the hall.

"Damn it! Xiao Lu, what tea did you use to make these tea eggs?? Simply a violent waste of heavenly goods!!"

This shout was full of vigor, shaking everyone in the hall until their ears buzzed.

The hall instantly quieted down; those lowering their heads enjoying food stopped their chopsticks, chatting diners also stopped talking.

Everyone's gazes looked in surprise toward the direction the sound came from, their eyes carrying a few parts puzzlement.

This old grandpa isn't usually quite good-tempered, what's up with him today?

Zhang Chao subconsciously turned his phone lens toward this side too; the screen-filling comments on screen seemed to have been stunned by this shout, the bullet comments instantly paused.

Only to see by the window-side dining table, Grandpa Qin pointing at the tea eggs before him, his hands even trembling slightly.

The wrinkles on his face were deeply knotted into a ball, full of incomparably heart-distressed anger, even his eyes had bloodshot veins.

"Old Qin, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Zhen Guo hurriedly squeezed over, reaching out to grab Grandpa Qin's arm.

Xu Shao Ying and Zhao Jian Hua also looked at Grandpa Qin in puzzlement, a bit uncomprehending of his reaction.

The three of them had known Grandpa Qin for decades, they understood his temper very well.

Although when he was young, Grandpa Qin's temper was quite explosive.

But after he got older in years, it was rare to see him flare up.

Even when playing chess with him and he took back a move, he would at most laugh and scold a sentence or two.

Rarely ever seen him this enraged.

Grandpa Qin flung off Liu Zhen Guo's hand in one shake, angrily pushing the white porcelain saucer holding the tea eggs before him to the table center with a huff.

"You smell it yourselves, carefully smell this tea fragrance!"

The three of Liu Zhen Guo exchanged a glance, then one after another bent down and leaned in to sniff.

"Smells pretty fragrant... seems a bit different from the tea eggs I usually eat."

Liu Zhen Guo sniffed his nose, didn't smell out any problem, frowned and looked at Grandpa Qin: "These tea eggs aren't perfectly fine? What are you getting angry for?"

Grandpa Qin knew Liu Zhen Guo didn't understand tea, rolled his eyes and didn't bother with him.

Xu Shao Ying carefully sniffed the tea eggs' flavor, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes, not speaking with a grave face.

Zhao Jian Hua usually, like Grandpa Qin, loved drinking tea, and had deep research on tea leaves.

He first carefully sniffed for a few seconds, then leaned in to carefully observe the tea eggs' color.

Then he seemed to have thought of something, and carefully sniffed for a while longer.

The next second, his complexion changed, he fiercely slapped his thigh, his voice even trembling a bit.

"Damn it! This fragrance... could it be..."

Before he could finish speaking, Grandpa Qin closed his eyes, nodded with a heart-distressed face.

"Damn it! Xiao Lu, get out here for me!"

Having gotten confirmation, Zhao Jian Hua slapped the table and stood up, angrily facing the kitchen shouting loudly: "Such good tea leaves, if you don't drink them selling to me would work too! You actually used them to boil these broken eggs? Violent waste of heavenly goods! I'm definitely beating you a couple times to vent my anger!"

Hearing these two old men's voices, the diners in the hall instantly started discussing in succession.

Hearing the sounds outside, Lu Feng walked out from the kitchen, a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

He knew the ingredients bought from the System Mall were all top-grade goods hard to get on the market.

The tea leaves used for these tea eggs were naturally also supreme quality.

It's just that Lu Feng himself didn't understand tea; after buying these tea leaves from the mall, he hadn't drunk them either.

This was a bit wronging him.

"Master Qin, Master Zhao, calm down."

Lu Feng stood behind the counter, speaking calmly: "I indeed did not use ordinary tea leaves, but these eggs are not ordinary eggs either; they absolutely match this black tea."

He stood still in place while saying this.

Seeing Master Qin's furious momentum, if he went over now, he might really get two big slaps.

He did not want to get beaten up right now.

Upon hearing this, Master Qin's eyebrows immediately stood up, and just as he was about to speak, someone at Yi Pang interjected.

"Master Qin, what is wrong with you today?"

Zhao Zhenhui walked in from the Door, walked over toward this side, saw Master Qin's angry appearance, and hurriedly spoke to persuade: "Speak nicely if you have something to say, what is wrong with this tea egg?"

He had just been queuing outside the door, heard the noise inside the Shop, and thought someone was causing trouble.

"You are not young, do you usually drink tea?"

Master Qin, in a bad mood, tidied his somewhat messy sleeves, looked at Zhao Zhenhui, and asked.

Zhao Zhenhui nodded.

He also had a hobby of drinking tea usually; there was a cabinet at home specifically for storing tea leaves, and he would usually entrust people to buy some precious good tea leaves.

"Then you smell it, see what kind of tea this is!"

Master Qin pointed at the tea eggs on the dish.

Zhao Zhenhui came forward, picked up the small dish on the Table, and began to carefully observe these two tea eggs.

He leaned in to smell closely, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, then his face showed an expression of disbelief, and he smelled again carefully.

"Can anyone tell me what exactly is going on?"

The diners in the Hall all focused their gazes on Master Qin's side at this moment.

Someone could no longer contain their nearly overflowing curiosity and urgently wanted to know what had actually happened.
