Protagonist:
Lu Feng
Before Lu Feng could speak, a middle-aged woman queuing beside Lin Xiao couldn't help but speak up.
"That's right, Boss Lu has said it twice already, how come you, this little girl, still won't let it go?"
Another customer chimed in agreement.
"Boss Lu has already refused, little girl you should just leave, don't delay Boss Lu from cooking for everyone."
"Yeah, I've waited ten minutes already, my Stir-fried Pork with Chili Combo Meal hasn't been served yet, little girl can you not delay everyone's meal here?"
"Boss Lu is this busy every day, where would he have extra time to do takeout?"
"Exactly, the people coming to the shop every day aren't enough to feed!"
The customers started talking all at once.
Lin Xiao's face instantly turned red, she looked at those customers with dissatisfaction on their faces, and silently put the documents away.
"If you're here to eat, you can order, if not eating then go back."
Lu Feng said to Lin Xiao with a calm face.
Lin Xiao stuffed the documents into her bag, intending to turn around and leave.
But the fragrance filling the shop made her a bit tempted.
"Since I've come all this way, even if rejected, I should at least eat a meal before going back."
She raised her eyes to scan the Price List on the wall, and after hesitating a bit said: "Then trouble you to give me a portion of Yangchun Noodles."
Lin Xiao's monthly salary wasn't high, the expensive dishes in the shop she couldn't bear to eat.
Eating a bowl of Yangchun Noodles before going back, this trip wouldn't count as wasted.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Lu Feng nodded, turned around and walked back into the Kitchen.
In less than two minutes, Hu Xiaoyun came out of the Kitchen carrying steaming hot Yangchun Noodles: "Your Yangchun Noodles are ready."
Lin Xiao hurriedly took it, the fragrance of the Yangchun Noodles drifted into her nose, making her unable to help swallowing her saliva.
She carried the noodle bowl to the Hall to find a seat, but discovered every table was full of people.
Lin Xiao circled around the Hall, finally seeing at a table not far away, a woman wearing a beige dress sitting there.
She sat in her seat with her head lowered playing on her phone, the empty bowl in front of her had just been taken away by Hu Xiaoyun.
Lin Xiao carried her noodle bowl over and carefully asked: "Hello sister, I see you've finished eating, can I sit here and eat?"
The woman's face had no expression, she merely raised her head to glance at Lin Xiao, then lowered her head again and continued playing on her phone.
Lin Xiao's smile froze on her face, for a moment somewhat embarrassed.
How can this person be like this?
Clearly already finished eating, yet still sitting here occupying a seat.
Doesn't she know there are still so many people in the Hall waiting to eat?
She opened her mouth wanting to say something more.
But seeing this woman's cold and indifferent look, she didn't know how to speak up.
Could only stand there at a loss in the original spot.
But at this moment a burst of noise came from not far away, two customers at a nearby table finished eating and stood up.
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, she hurriedly carried her bowl and walked over.
After she sat down, she couldn't help but quickly glance at that woman again.
The woman was still lowering her head playing on her phone, not even lifting her head once.
"Occupying the latrine without..."
Lin Xiao muttered softly.
But thinking she still planned to eat, the second half of the sentence wasn't spoken.
…………
Time, under Lu Feng's non-stop busyness, gradually arrived at midnight twelve o'clock sharp.
Today's business hours ended again.
Lu Feng turned off the Kitchen's Gas Stove, stretched, rubbed his somewhat sore shoulders and walked out of the Kitchen.
Today's Stir-fried Pork with Chili sold quite a lot, most of the time he was in the Kitchen tossing the wok.
Hu Xiaoyun walked over from the Hall side, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said to Lu Feng with a smile: "Boss, my roommate came to pick me up to go back to School, I've wiped all the tables and chairs in the Hall, and cleaned up the trash too, can I go back with her?"
Lu Feng looked toward the Store entrance.
Hu Xiaoyun's roommate Lin Meimei was holding two cups of Milk Tea, standing outside the door waiting.
"Alright, you guys go back, be careful on the road."
Lu Feng said with a smile, and by the way packed two portions of xiaolongbao for Hu Xiaoyun to take back.
As the customers left the shop one after another, the Hall gradually quieted down.
System prompt, tomorrow's New Recipe Unlock Mission has been updated.
Lu Feng had just prepared to check the mission, but suddenly saw in the empty Hall corner, a woman still sitting there.
That woman wore a beige dress, beautiful features, but looked like she gave off a cold, icy feeling.
A bit like those female strongwoman types in TV dramas.
Lu Feng walked toward the woman and said in a gentle tone, "This customer, today's business hours have already ended. If you still want to eat, please come again tomorrow."
The woman raised her head, tucked her mobile phone into her bag, and the corners of her mouth curved up slightly. Facing Lu Feng, she gave a shallow smile: "Lu Boss, do you have time now? I have a matter I want to ask you to help with."
Lu Feng was stunned for a moment.
His memory was very good; every customer who came to the shop he could remember at a glance.
Today the shop had just started business not long ago when this woman came to the shop and ordered a portion of Red Braised Pork.
Now business hours have ended and she still hasn't left.
This woman waited for over two hours until business ended in order to talk business with him; she truly has perseverance.
Could it be another big restaurant's boss coming to poach him?
Lu Feng smiled and nodded: "I have time right now. Whatever it is, you say it."
"My name is Fang Yuan."
The woman straightened her body and said in a very flat tone: "Actually I've already come to your shop to eat twice this week. Every time I ate the Red Braised Pork you made. You might not believe it, but the taste of your Red Braised Pork is exactly the same as what my mother made when I was little."
Lu Feng sat opposite this woman called Fang Yuan, quietly listening to her subsequent narration, and gradually understood the woman's purpose in his heart.
When Fang Yuan was in elementary school, her mother had an unexpected car accident.
After being sent to the hospital, Fang Yuan's father was still out of town doing business.
By the time he got the news and rushed back in a desperate hurry, he only saw his wife covered with a white cloth.
Fang Yuan's parents were deeply in love when young, but when his wife passed away, he didn't even get to see her one last time.
This also became Fang Yuan's father's greatest regret.
After Fang Yuan's mother passed away, her father put all his energy into his career and is now a well-known entrepreneur in Jiang City.
When Fang Yuan's mother was alive, he most liked eating the Red Braised Pork his wife made for him.
Every time he returned from a business trip out of town, his wife would always make him a full large plate of Red Braised Pork.
But ever since his wife passed away, Fang Yuan's father has never eaten it again.
"This Saturday is my dad's birthday. I want to give him a special gift."
Fang Yuan's gaze fell on Lu Feng, her eyes carrying a request: "Lu Boss, I want to ask you to come to my house at noon on Saturday and make Red Braised Pork once. Can you?"
