Protagonist:

Lu Feng

After washing up, he sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and flipped through the contact list inside.

The first person he thought of was Li Jiang, and he directly called him.

This guy, who knows what he's been up to recently.

The scene from last weekend of going to Li Jiang's house to teach him how to make Tomato Scrambled Eggs is still vivid in memory.

When leaving, Li Jiang also said he would bring his blind date Su Yue to the shop to eat.

As a result, several days have passed, let alone Su Yue.

Even Li Jiang himself hasn't appeared in Food Street once.

Every time I send him a message, I wait half a day for a perfunctory reply, and then there's no follow-up.

The receiver rang twice before being picked up.

Li Jiang's familiar loud voice came from the phone, mixed with noisy background sounds, sounding like he was outside: "Hello? Fengzi. Calling so early in the morning, do you miss me?"

"Miss my ass!"

Lu Feng leaned back on the sofa and said straight to the point: "Twelve noon, come to the shop to eat."

"What, you're treating?"

Li Jiang's laughter came from the receiver, teasing as he spoke.

"Yeah, I'm treating."

Lu Feng played along with his words.

"Pfft—cough cough cough..."

A sudden fit of violent coughing came from the other end of the phone, as if he choked on water.

Li Jiang coughed for a long time before recovering, his voice full of disbelief: "Wait wait, are you Lu Feng himself?"

"If not me, then who?"

Lu Feng rolled his eyes in annoyance and said to Li Jiang on the phone: "Twelve noon, be there on time, no waiting if you're late!"

"No..."

Li Jiang's voice suddenly became hesitant: "That thing, I'm not in Jiangcheng right now, I can only go back the day after tomorrow, can you treat me after I get back?"

"Damn, you're not in Jiangcheng why didn't you say so earlier? Wasting my time, hanging up."

The smile on Lu Feng's face instantly disappeared, he said annoyedly and hung up directly.

…………

"Hello, Fengzi, hello?"

On the other side, in a tourist town in Jiang Nan, Li Jiang held up his phone and shouted twice, but found Lu Feng had already hung up.

Beside him, a sweet-looking girl was peeling an orange, precisely Li Jiang's blind date Su Yue.

The two have now developed to the point of traveling together, looks like they've confirmed a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.

Seeing Li Jiang put down his phone, Su Yue couldn't help but ask with a smile: "What's wrong, whose call was it?"

"Who else could it be? My stingy brother Lu Feng."

Li Jiang put his phone back in his pocket, thinking of Lu Feng's words about treating just now, still finding it somewhat unbelievable: "This kid, don't know if he's got a fever, actually said he wants to treat."

Su Yue smiled and handed the peeled orange to Li Yue: "He runs a restaurant now, treating someone to a meal isn't that normal?"

"Normal? You don't know how stingy he is."

Li Jiang took the orange, stuffed it in his mouth, and said while eating and shaking his head: "Even if he opened a restaurant, I still have to pay when I eat at his shop, today he suddenly says he'll treat, I even suspect he's been possessed."

Su Yue listened to his complaints and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Alright alright, he kindly invites you to eat and you suspect this and that, after we go back, you take me to his shop, always hearing you say his cooking is so so delicious, don't know if it's true."

Mentioning Lu Feng's culinary skill, Li Jiang instantly perked up.

"Everything else you can doubt, but Fengzi's skill is truly beyond reproach, let me tell you..."

For the next while, Li Jiang started talking endlessly about Lu Feng's culinary skill again.

…………

Lu Feng, having hung up, continued searching the contact list for suitable people to treat.

Hu Xiaoyun and Hu Daye are a must.

Since Hu Xiaoyun came to the shop, she has managed the shop in an orderly manner.

Hu Daye even often sends the freshest vegetables to me.

Treating them to a meal is also proper.

Then there's Grandpa Qin and those few old grandpas.

They're all regulars at the shop, every time they come they chat a few words with him.

Lu Feng guessed these few old grandpas' identities might not be ordinary, but after getting along with them for a long time, he discovered they had not a shred of airs, and were very warm to him.

Next are Xiao Feilong, Gu Manman, those few streamers who frequently patronize the shop.

When Lu Feng scrolls his phone at night, he often sees their short videos promoting his shop.

Quite a few new diners at the shop came after watching their videos, equivalent to free advertising for him.

Lin Xi and Lin Yiming, the parents next door, are also in Lu Feng's invitation list this time.

The little girl's body has gradually recovered a lot recently, and she can eat normally now.

But she still loves eating Lu Feng's cooking the most, coming to the shop to eat with Lin Yiming every night.

Lin Xi is pretty and cute in appearance, and many people like her at first sight.

Every time they come to the shop, they make the shop a few degrees more lively.

There are also Zhao Zhenhui and his wife.

Although they are businesspeople, the two of them are the same as Lin Yiming; when they come to Lu Feng's shop they behave just like normal diners.

Neither of them has the airs of wealthy people, and this point suits Lu Feng's temperament very well.

Besides the above, Lu Feng selected some more people; those he invited are all regular old customers who often come to the shop to eat.

After confirming the invitation list, for those with contact methods, Lu Feng sent messages to them one by one.

For those without contact methods, he had others pass on the word for him.

Although this was a last-minute invitation, there are still four hours until noon, enough for everyone to arrange their time.

…………

Eleven-thirty.

Xiao Feilong, Gu Manman, and their group of streamers arrived at Lu Feng's shop laughing and chatting all the way.

They have never had the habit of being late.

Moreover, today Lu Feng invited them over to eat, so they came to Food Street even earlier.

Upon entering the shop, they greeted Lu Feng in the kitchen.

After that, the four of them familiarly walked to the very center of the hall and sat down.

A few minutes later, another familiar sound came from the store entrance.

Grandpa Qin held a bamboo fan and walked in together with Liu Zhen Guo, Zhao Jian Hua, and Xu Shao Ying.

After another short while, the rest of the people also entered the shop one after another.

When there were still ten minutes until twelve o'clock, the last regular old customer who often comes to the shop to eat also arrived. Twenty people sat in the hall.

Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes all carried a few degrees of puzzlement.

Zhao Zhenhui and his wife sat together with Lin Xi and her father; Zhao Zhenhui leaned toward Lin Yiming and asked in a low voice: "Manager Lin, you were also invited by Boss Lu to come eat?"

"Yeah, I thought he only invited me and Xi Xi; I didn't expect so many people would come, this lineup is quite something."

Lin Yiming smiled and said.

Xiao Feilong and their group huddled together, also somewhat puzzled.

"What do you say, why did Boss Lu suddenly want to treat everyone today?"

Gu Manman poked Xiao Feilong's arm, her eyes full of curiosity as she asked in a low voice.
