Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"You know this too?"

Xu Yating looked at Sun Qiming, surprise on her face.

She had originally thought that this foodie boyfriend of hers knew nothing except eating.

Unexpectedly, today he could actually give her some popular science, which was truly beyond her expectations.

"Of course, you're underestimating me, right?"

Seeing his girlfriend's surprised tone, Sun Qiming revealed a smug smile on his face, while his right hand quietly hid his mobile phone behind him.

The mobile phone screen displayed an encyclopedia on a webpage, and the content on it was exactly what Sun Qiming had just said.

"How come I haven't noticed you're so learned and talented usually? Did you secretly look up information?"

Xu Yating furrowed her brows, with some doubt on her face.

"Watch closely! Lu Boss is about to pour the rose dew!"

Sun Qiming felt uncomfortable all over under his girlfriend's suspicious gaze, and hurriedly pointed at Lu Feng in the kitchen, speaking loudly.

"Really? This rose dew looks so beautiful, the rice made from it must be very fragrant!"

Xu Yating's attention was indeed transferred to the kitchen, her eyes becoming bright and sparkling.

After all, she was a girl, and for this kind of thing that looked elegant, she naturally had a fondness for it.

"That's for sure!"

Xu Qiming, seeing that he had successfully diverted his girlfriend's attention, quickly glanced at his mobile phone, straightened his back, and continued to proudly popularize loudly: "I heard that this Xianglu Rice only needs a little rose dew to make the rice smell tempting, and after eating it, the fragrance lingers on the lips and teeth, even burps carry the scent of flowers!"

As soon as he said this, several diners around couldn't help but laugh.

Although Xu Yating didn't notice the mobile phone in his hand, other people's eyes were not blind.

However, no one refuted it, after all, it was something made by Lu Feng, and everyone felt this rice must be good.

"Since it's called Xianglu Rice, it must be fragrant when eaten."

Xu Yating nodded in agreement, her eyes tightly fixed on Lu Feng's every move in the kitchen..

Lu Feng in the kitchen ignored the discussion outside, reached out and opened the lid of the pot steaming rice.

As the lid was lifted, a waft of heat wrapped in rice fragrance rose from the pot.

The rice grains in the pot had fully expanded, distinct grain by grain, shining with a pearl-like luster.

Lu Feng picked up the bottle of Rose Dew bought from the System Mall on the chopping board, opened the bottle mouth, and slowly poured some into the pot.

The rose dew needed for Xianglu Rice is actually very little; just a little bit is enough.

This way, just right to let every rice grain touch the fragrance, and it won't feel sweet when eaten.

He picked up the spoon and gently stirred in the pot, the rice grains wrapped in rose dew, the color also taking on a faint pink, and the fragrance became even richer.

"Boss, is the rice steamed? I can hardly wait, the Stir-fried Pork with Chili is already done, just waiting to eat with rice!"

Zhu Chang rubbed his growling stomach, and started urging again.

It's not that he lacks patience; smelling the aroma constantly drifting from the kitchen, delicious food right before his eyes but unable to put it in his mouth, this feeling is simply a torment.

Lu Feng responded with a smile: "The rice needs to simmer for two more minutes, it will be ready soon, let me serve the dishes for everyone first."

Saying this, he walked to the stove, and put the Stir-fried Pork with Chili from the pot into white porcelain plates one by one.

After serving, the rice was also almost ready.

Lu Feng took out small bowls for rice from the cabinet, and placed them one by one on the operation counter, preparing to serve rice.

These small bowls look very elegant, the bowl rim is wave-shaped, and green stems are painted on the outer edge, looking just like a fresh lotus leaf.

"This bowl is so pretty!"

Xu Yating's attention was immediately attracted by those small bowls, and then she asked Lu Feng with an expectant tone: "Lu Boss, can you serve me rice with such a bowl later? I love this kind of bowl so much!"

Lu Feng turned his head and replied with a smile: "The bowls and plates are all the same, everyone can use them, of course it's okay."

"Great! Thank you, Boss!"

Xu Yating clapped her hands happily, her voice full of uncontrollable excitement.

Sun Qiming beside them couldn't help but pout his lips.

Just a bowl, is it necessary to be so excited?

It's just slightly better looking, can't be eaten anyway.

Compared to the bowl, he was more interested in the rice that would be served in the bowl later.

"Great, finally can eat!"

Zhu Chang took the tray from Hu Xiaoyun's hand, speaking with a long-awaited expectant tone.

He carefully held the tray, and with light steps walked to the empty seat by the window and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but bring his nose to the bowl of Xianglu Rice beside him, and took a deep breath.

The light pink Xianglu Rice in the Lotus Leaf Bowl was steaming with heat, the rice grains distinct grain by grain, shining with a pearl-like luster.

Smelling with his nose, the elegant rice fragrance carrying the meat fragrance of Rose Dew drilled into his nostrils, with a faint clear sweetness in his breathing.

"As expected of Xianglu Rice, it really smells fragrant."

Zhu Chang couldn't help but sigh.

He had never eaten this kind of rice before, and decided to first take a mouthful of rice to taste the flavor.

He picked up chopsticks, picked up a small ball of rice and put it into his mouth.

The moment the rice entered his mouth and he chewed, his teeth touched the grains, feeling them just right in softness and firmness.

The grains were soft and glutinous, yet not sticky at all; after chewing a little, the subtle sweetness inside the grains slowly released.

The natural sweet fragrance of the rice, mixed with the gentle moisture of Rose Dew, spread throughout his mouth.

This texture was exactly the same as the description he had seen online just now—soft, glutinous, fragrant, and sweet, appetizing and cheering.

Chewing the rice whose aroma filled his mouth, Zhu Chang felt his mood inexplicably improve.

As a seasoned food lover, commonly called a Foodie, Zhu Chang had always had an extraordinary love for meat.

Right now there was clearly a plate of steaming Stir-fried Pork with Chili in front of him, and according to his usual habit, he would have already finished all the Meat Slices on the plate by now.

But at this moment, chewing the Xianglu Rice in his mouth, he suddenly felt that even without side dishes, he could eat a whole bowl of just this rice.

"So Delicious! I finally understand why rich people in the past liked eating this kind of rice!"

Zhu Chang swallowed the rice in his mouth, sighed contentedly, and praised it sincerely in a tone Full Of satisfaction.

"Brother Zhu, how does this rice taste? Is it Fragrant?"

Xu Yating, who was still Waiting for Food, had been watching his Movements; seeing him look so satisfied after taking a bite of rice, she couldn't help but ask with an expectant Appearance.

"One word: Fragrant!"

Zhu Chang immediately gave Xu Yating a thumbs-up, saying in a very Definite tone: "This rice is too Fragrant! Even without eating dishes, just eating the rice is fine! Lu Boss's Culinary Skill is indeed impressive!"

"That's for sure; Lu Boss's Culinary Skill has always been impressive."

Sun Qiming, beside Xu Yating, stared fixedly at the Stir-fried Pork with Chili and rice on Zhu Chang's Table, swallowing saliva and echoing as he spoke.
