Protagonist:
Lu Feng
As soon as he entered, the waiter at the front desk immediately warmly came up to greet him.
Zhao Zhenhui looked at the sign on the price list by the door reading "498 yuan per adult," and couldn't help turning to Zhou Yaqin to whisper: "Wife, look, a buffet is still the better deal! At this price, if we went to a music restaurant, I'd order at most two dishes."
Zhou Yaqin couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "Enough, enough, stop being stingy, hurry up and pay, we still have to go back to the company for a meeting after eating, don't delay it."
She felt somewhat helpless in her heart; this husband of hers was truly unmatched in his ability to earn money.
But he was just a bit too stingy, always pursuing what he called cost-effectiveness.
Back when they were living through hard times, she hadn't thought anything of it.
But now they were already wealthy people, and her husband was still like this.
After getting rich, shouldn't they enjoy life properly?
Zhao Zhenhui smiled and agreed, then quickly scanned the code to pay.
The waitress smiled broadly as she led them to a window seat: "The view here is better, and you can see the scenery of the square outside. Do you two think it's okay?"
Zhao Zhenhui glanced at Zhou Yaqin, saw her nod slightly, then smiled and agreed: "Okay, okay, we'll take this spot."
The two had just sat down when Zhao Zhenhui's gaze fell on the seafood counter not far away: "Wife, this buffet has pretty good reviews. Last week I came here once with Qian Zong, and he was quite satisfied with this place. I was thinking back then about when to bring you here to try it, and today just happens to be the day."
As he spoke, he also pointed at the huge glass tanks in the restaurant: "Look at those king crabs, they're about the same size as the ones we ate at the French restaurant last time, and still fresh."
Zhou Yaqin looked in the direction of his finger and also nodded slightly: "Mm, not bad, they all look quite fresh, indeed not bad."
Zhao Zhenhui picked up a plate and stood up, looking at his wife and asking: "Wife, I'll go get some food first, you wait for me here. What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
"No need, you get yours. Later when you come back, I'll get my own."
Zhou Yaqin smiled and said.
Zhao Zhenhui agreed, and just as he was preparing to leave, his gaze swept over a table not far away, and he was instantly attracted.
That table seated one man and one woman, with several plates of seafood in front of them, but the two hadn't eaten much.
Instead, each was facing a portion of fried noodles, eating with their heads down.
The man ate with such abandon, his chopsticks never stopping, constantly stuffing fried noodles into his mouth.
The woman ate from her own plate, and from time to time would pick up some with chopsticks from the man's plate.
Although judging how others eat is somewhat impolite, these two were indeed eating in an exaggerated way.
Zhao Zhenhui couldn't help but pat Zhou Yaqin's arm, pointing with his finger at that man and woman, and said softly: "Wife, look at those two over there, they came to a seafood buffet to eat fried noodles, and they're eating it so deliciously. Isn't that a waste of money? It's 498 per person here; after eating fried noodles, how can they have room in their stomachs for seafood!"
Zhou Yaqin turned back to look, and although she also didn't quite understand, she didn't want to comment too much on it: "Why do you care what they do? Maybe they just like that taste. You hurry up and go get food."
Zhao Zhenhui nodded, picked up his plate, and walked toward the seafood counter.
As he passed by the table of that man and woman, he couldn't help but slow his steps, and overheard their conversation.
"The fried noodles at this restaurant are too delicious, right? I really didn't expect that this fried noodles would actually taste more fragrant than the seafood!"
"Right! I didn't expect that in this seafood restaurant, the most delicious thing would actually be fried noodles!"
"It's just a pity that each person can only eat one portion. Otherwise, I could eat two more portions of this fried noodles!"
"Husband, give me some more. I'm almost done with mine, it's not enough!"
"I don't have much left either... I'll give you two more chopsticks' worth, that's all. I haven't eaten enough myself!"
Listening to the two's conversation, Zhao Zhenhui was stunned for a moment, and doubt arose in his heart.
Was this too outrageous?
A plate of fried noodles could have such high reviews, and two people were fighting over it?
And judging from what these two said, was the fried noodles in the buffet restaurant limited?
He had never heard of such a situation before.
Listening to it, it sounded a bit like the rules in Lu Boss's restaurant?
Thinking of limited purchases, the image of Lu Feng subconsciously surfaced in his mind.
That divine person who ran a small restaurant on Food Street, yet made every dish so delicious it made people long for it in their dreams.
Zhao Zhenhui couldn't help but glance toward the main food area at the far corner of the restaurant.
Behind the counter stood a figure in a white chef's uniform, leisurely arranging things on the operation counter, and that figure looked somewhat familiar.
Zhao Zhenhui narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed tightly on that figure.
That person looked a bit like...
He couldn't care less about getting seafood now, and quickly walked back to his seat, patting Zhou Yaqin's shoulder and pointing at that figure at the main food area counter: "Wife, your eyesight is better than mine. Quickly help me look—is that person Lu Boss?"
Zhou Yaqin heard the three words "Lu Boss" and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Lu Boss had his own shop, so how could he possibly appear here?
She looked in the direction Zhao Zhenhui pointed, and the next second surprise couldn't help but show on her face.
"That's right, it really is Lu Boss! How could he be here?"
She couldn't help but stand up, her tone full of surprise and joy.
The two looked at each other, and both saw the undisguised excitement in each other's eyes.
They had personally experienced Lu Feng's culinary skill; every time they went to his shop to eat, they had to wait a long time before they could eat.
To be able to eat what he made, these two workaholics who were usually busy until after twelve before leaving the company were now running toward Food Street before eight.
Originally, this afternoon they were supposed to drive to the neighboring city to discuss business and wouldn't be back until tomorrow.
They had even felt a bit regretful about missing Lu Feng's evening business hours.
I never expected to run into Lu Feng at this Seafood Buffet Restaurant.
"Wife, let's go! Let's hurry over!"
Zhao Zhenhui impatiently pulled Zhou Yaqin, hurrying toward the Main Food Area.
When they were still two or three meters from the Main Food Area, Zhao Zhenhui waved at Lu Feng inside, his voice full of surprise and enthusiasm: "Boss Lu! What a coincidence! I never thought I'd run into you here!"
Lu Feng behind the counter was still standing in a daze, and this sudden shout made his whole body tremble.
The voice sounded a bit familiar, giving him the illusion that he was back in the little shop on Food Street, being urged by diners to serve the food.
He turned his head and saw Zhao Zhenhui and Zhou Yaqin walking over quickly, both with surprised smiles on their faces.
Both were regulars at his shop, and Lu Feng recognized them at a glance.
But isn't this too fast?
He had only come to this buffet restaurant for less than half an hour, and already met his own customers.
It looks like in a little while, others will be coming over soon too.
