Protagonist:
Lu Feng
Lu Feng did not object, then silently turned around and took the wet noodles off the ingredient rack.
He also knew about that group chat; there were several hundred people in it.
As expected, a large crowd would arrive shortly after hearing the news.
The restaurant's per-person price of 498 was not low, so they probably wouldn't all come.
But this place specialized in various seafood; if a group came for his fried noodles and ignored those king crabs and Australian lobsters...
If the restaurant owner found out, he'd probably be grinning from ear to ear.
Zhao Zhenhui had already posted Lu Feng's photo in the group, then followed up with a message.
"Notice: Boss Lu is making fried noodles at Dayang Seafood Buffet Restaurant today at noon, limited to 50 portions, located on the fifth floor of David Mall on the west side of Xingda Plaza."
"Friendly reminder: This buffet restaurant costs 498 yuan per person; please consider your wallet's capacity accordingly."
The moment the message was sent, the group exploded.
"@Zhao Zhenhui, Boss Zhao, is what you're saying true?"
"Upstairs, when has Boss Zhao ever lied to us? Didn't you see the photo was posted?"
"So we can eat Boss Lu's cooking one more time today? I'm heading out right now!"
"My company happens to be in the office building right next door, I'll be there immediately!"
"Damn it! I just ordered Huang Braised Chicken and already paid! Forget it, not eating! Going to eat Boss Lu's fried noodles!"
"498 per person? I don't have much living expenses left this month, I'll wait until evening to eat at Food Street. I envy you rich people, getting to eat Boss Lu's cooking one more time today."
"It takes me forty minutes to take a taxi there; I don't know if I can make it..."
Looking at the messages coming one after another in the group, Zhao Zhenhui smiled.
He was just about to reply to the diners' questions in the group when a tentative voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Brother, I want to ask, does this chef operate at other places too?"
Zhao Zhenhui turned around; the speaker was the man of the couple who had eaten fried noodles just now.
The man had just finished the fried noodles and originally wanted to get some seafood to finish off.
Passing by the Main Food Area counter, he heard Zhao Zhenhui and Lu Feng's conversation and couldn't help but come over to ask.
"Yes, Boss Lu has his own shop at Food Street; today at noon he came here temporarily to help out."
Zhao Zhenhui said with a smile.
"He really has a shop!"
The man's eyes lit up instantly, his tone full of excitement and exhilaration: "Great! Finally I have something to look forward to!"
He had originally felt it was a pity that this seafood buffet restaurant cost 498 per person.
The fried noodles were delicious, but coming here every day, his wallet couldn't take it.
Now hearing that Lu Feng had opened a shop at Food Street, this was simply perfect!
…………
Twenty minutes later.
The elevator on the fifth floor of the Shopping Mall rang "ding," and as soon as the doors opened, a group of people filed out.
They hurried, and as soon as they exited the elevator, they headed straight for the Dayang Seafood Buffet Restaurant opposite.
These were diners who worked nearby; after seeing Zhao Zhenhui's notice in the group, they came at the first opportunity.
This was only the first batch; more people in the group were on their way.
The female Manager patrolling inside the restaurant suddenly saw so many people at the Door, and her face instantly broke into a smile.
She had worked in the catering industry for five years and could tell at a glance that this group had strong spending power.
If over twenty people came to the Shop to Consume at the same time, and she could get a few to top up membership cards, she could earn a good commission.
Even if no one topped up, just these twenty-plus people, at 498 yuan per person for the meal, would cause today's Turnover to rise significantly.
The female Manager quickly walked to the Front Desk, while telling the Waiter to hurry up and clear the empty seats in the Shop, and at the same time tidied her clothes, put on a standard smile, and prepared to go up and welcome them personally.
The first person to walk into the Shop was a man wearing Gold-rimmed Glasses.
After entering the Shop, he didn't even glance at the menu at the Front Desk, but directly took out his Mobile Phone to scan and pay.
"Welcome to Dayang Seafood Buffet Restaurant."
Seeing he had paid, the female Manager hurried over and introduced enthusiastically: "The seafood in our Shop is air-freighted the same day, guaranteed Fresh, especially..."
"Excuse me, I want to ask, where are your Fried Noodles?"
The man didn't let her finish, directly interrupting her introduction and asking.
"Fried Noodles?"
The smile on the female Manager's face froze; after being Stunned for two seconds, she subconsciously pointed to the innermost part of the Shop: "The Main Food Area is at the very back; you just walk straight to the end and you'll see it, but what we're most famous for here is..."
"Thanks!"
The man didn't listen to her words at all, and without hesitation strode purposefully toward the Main Food Area.
As he passed the Seafood Counter, his gaze didn't even look at it once.
"What's going on, isn't this person here to eat seafood?"
The female Manager watched the diner's back and felt a bit baffled.
But immediately the second diner who had paid walked over, and she once again put on a smile.
"Hello, our shop's seafood ingredients are all from the same day..."
"Seafood and whatnot can wait, I'm going to eat fried noodles first!"
The second diner directly dropped this line, then excitedly chased after the previous diner and ran over.
Then came the third.
"Hello, our shop's seafood..."
"I'm here to eat fried noodles!"
The third diner likewise didn't even listen to the introduction, directly running toward the main food area.
Then the fourth, the fifth...
Watching the diners sprinting toward the main food area one by one, the female manager was completely stunned.
What on earth is going on today?
This 498-per-person seafood buffet, how come they're all coming to eat fried noodles?
That fried noodles usually hardly anyone eats, every day there's a lot of ingredients left over, how come it's so popular today?
The female manager has worked in the industry these years, yet has never seen such a scene.
A group of people ignoring king crab, lobster and such seafood, coming straight for the fried noodles.
She couldn't help but doubt her own professional ability, feeling like she somewhat didn't understand the customers' needs anymore.
"Hello, may I ask..."
The female manager was spacing out when another diner who had finished paying stood before her and spoke up.
"Fried noodles are in the main food area, walk straight to the end."
The female manager sighed, habitually replying.
"What fried noodles? I spent five hundred bucks to come here and eat fried noodles?"
The diner frowned, asking with a dissatisfied face: "Isn't this a seafood buffet restaurant?"
Hearing the diner's words, light appeared in the female manager's eyes once again.
Now that's right!
Now that's a normal diner!
"Sorry sir, I just spaced out, our shop's seafood was all air-freighted in today, I recommend you taste..."
"You wait a moment."
The female manager had barely said two sentences when the diner suddenly raised a hand to interrupt, asking with a tone carrying a bit of doubt and curiosity: "What's the deal with the fried noodles you just mentioned, is it very delicious?"
