Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Actually, most of the fans in the live stream room had already believed it by now.

The scene where Master Qin flew into a rage just now happened very suddenly; Zhang Chao himself hadn't expected it.

Throughout the whole process, he was just like those people in the live stream room, standing by and watching the drama unfold.

Plus, the heartache audible in Master Qin's voice could be felt by the fans through the screen.

If this were really a scripted arrangement, according to procedure, the live stream room should have already posted "321, link up."

"Damn! I just checked the price of Qimen Black Tea; top-grade really is at least ten thousand yuan a jin!"

"Tsk tsk tsk... using tea worth ten thousand yuan to boil tea eggs; does this boss's family own a mine? Too extravagant!"

"Already putting on shoes, wondering if it's real, I want to go appraise it myself!"

"I'm going too! I want to taste what eggs boiled with tea worth ten thousand yuan taste like!"

"My dad just came over to watch the live stream for a while, and now he's urging me to hurry up and take him out!"

"Brothers, see you later, I've already hailed a taxi; when I get there, I'll taste them well for you all!"

"Damn, everyone's so eager, no way, I have to go see for myself!"

In the live stream room, those local Jiangcheng fans were now impatiently expressing that they wanted to come to Lu Feng's shop to personally taste the tea eggs.

As for those fans who weren't from Jiangcheng, they were all expressing envy to no end.

"Brother Chao, I believe you! When you buy the tea eggs later, tell everyone what they taste like!"

"Aaaah! Why don't I live in Jiangcheng! I genuinely envy Brother Chao's Jiangcheng fans!"

"My family lives next door to Jiangcheng, I've decided to take leave tomorrow and go to Jiangcheng to eat once!"

"Any brothers from Suzhou City? Let's team up and go together tomorrow!"

The live stream room kept scrolling with bullet comments; the voices questioning the price at the beginning had long been drowned out by enthusiastic fans.

"I felt from the start that this shop wasn't ordinary; selling expensive definitely has its reasons, those black fans who can't afford it should all shut up!"

"Weren't those black fans shouting so happily just now, why are they all silent now?"

"Black fans, come out and take a couple steps, does your face hurt?"

"Brother Chao, don't bother with those black fans anymore, I just want to ask, do you still have fan benefits tomorrow?"

"Begging Brother Chao to do fan benefits again!"

"Any godfathers willing to treat me? I can carry the godfather to rank up!"

"......"

Dense bullet comments kept rolling; the previous doubts and mockery had now turned into amazement and anticipation.

Zhang Chao watched the comments in the live stream room return to normal, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, this livestream didn't crash and burn.

He raised his eyes to look at the increasingly close counter, smelled the fragrance drifting from the kitchen, and kept swallowing his saliva.

He also really wanted to know just how delicious those tea eggs boiled with top-grade Qimen Tribute Tea were?

On the dining tables in the hall, the diners who had previously ordered Lion's Head, Red Braised Pork, or other things now all had their gazes fixed neatly on the tea eggs in front of Master Qin.

"Hey, have you guys thought about it, the tea leaves Boss Lu uses to boil tea eggs are so expensive, the eggs probably aren't ordinary eggs either?"

Zhu Chang rubbed his chin, and was now discussing with the diners at the same table.

"Putting it that way, it's really possible."

The young man at his table was gnawing on the pig trotters in the Pig Trotter Noodles, and upon hearing this immediately chimed in: "Those eggs definitely aren't ordinary either, didn't you hear Boss Lu say just now, do these eggs match the tea leaves? Eggs that can match Qimen Tribute Tea, how could they be ordinary eggs?"

"But looking at these eggs, they're just a bit bigger in size."

A girl wearing glasses at the neighboring table glanced at Master Qin's table, frowned and muttered: "Aren't egg prices all about the same? They're all very cheap..."

"Don't understand, huh?"

Zhu Chang shook his head, then put on a smug look and started popularizing knowledge: "The price of eggs is related to the breed of the hen that lays them, for example, eggs from chicken farms are cheaper than eggs from free-range local chickens."

"So you know what kind of eggs these are? Popularize it for us, handsome guy?"

The girl with glasses looked very interested, smiling at Zhu Chang.

This "handsome guy" from her made Zhu Chang feel a bit lightheaded.

All along, these two words had nothing to do with him at all.

But now, someone actually called him handsome guy, and it was a pretty girl.

Not to mention, this feeling was pretty great.

But Zhu Chang was a hack writer who stayed home all day typing, how could he say what ingredients Lu Feng used?

That girl finally just pursed her lips, and then stopped paying attention to him.

The discussion here was heated, but at the window seat next to them, Master Qin had no mind to join in.

He moved the white porcelain plate holding the tea eggs in front of himself, his brow still slightly furrowed.

These two tea eggs, though fragrant to the nose, made him keep swallowing saliva.

But thinking that they were boiled with Qimen Tribute Tea, Master Qin couldn't help but still feel some heartache.

"Old Qin, you've been studying for half an hour, these two eggs will be cold soon!"

Zhao Jian Hua was now very regretful in his heart.

He, like Master Qin, loved various precious teas.

Never in a million years did he expect that these seemingly ordinary tea eggs were actually boiled with top-grade Qimen black tea that he rarely gets to drink.

Zhao Jian Hua couldn't even bother eating his own lion's head at this point, eyes fixed straight on the tea eggs in front of Grandpa Qin.

Seeing Grandpa Qin staring at those two tea eggs without moving his chopsticks.

He was itching to reach out and snatch them right now.

"Old Qin, stop studying them, hurry up and taste one, tell us few what the flavor is like."

The ever-steady Xu Shao Ying couldn't stay calm either, looking at Grandpa Qin and urging him on.

Liu Zhen Guo was even more direct, lifting his body preparing to reach out: "Old Qin, if you don't want to eat, I'll help you taste! I'll trade my red braised pork for yours!"

"Get lost, who said I don't want to eat?"

Grandpa Qin's eyes were quick and hands fast, smashing away Liu Zhen Guo's outstretched hand with a slap, raising his arm to shield the tea eggs in front of him.

That protective-food appearance, as if these two tea eggs were some kind of treasures.

Leaving aside the price of these tea eggs.

Even for the sake of the Qimen black tea's face, Grandpa Qin wouldn't let these two tea eggs go to waste in the slightest.

The two tea eggs in the dish were standard oval shapes, a full circle larger than ordinary chicken eggs.

The eggshells were covered in fine cracks, not like the messy random patterns of casually cracked eggs.

Those cracks were irregular yet orderly, actually possessing an indescribable neatness.

The bottom of the dish still held a shallow layer of dark brown soup/juice, setting off the tea eggs to look even more exquisite.

The tea eggs emitted a rich tea fragrance, mixed with the flavors of star anise, cinnamon and other spices, smelling even more mellow and fragrant.

Grandpa Qin couldn't help but smell carefully twice more, suddenly feeling some doubt.

In this tea egg's fragrance, he surprisingly couldn't detect the chicken egg's own flavor at all.

"What's going on, could it be this chicken egg isn't fresh anymore?"
