Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Especially today's new dish, Dongpo Pork Knuckle.

Among the system's max-level techniques, after making this dish, there is also a particular way to eat it.

It must be finished within fifteen minutes after leaving the pot for the texture to be at its peak.

…………

"Boss, good evening!"

At eight in the evening, Hu Xiaoyun walked into the shop; before she could even put down the bamboo basket on her back, a smile bloomed on her face: "Thank you for treating me and Grandpa to lunch today! Grandpa kept saying on the way back that he had never eaten anything so delicious in his entire life!"

She wasn't exaggerating at all.

On the way back at noon, Hu Daye kept nagging in her ear.

He praised Lu Feng from character to culinary skill, from inside to outside.

Hu Daye wasn't highly educated; all the complimentary words he could think of were used on Lu Feng in one go.

Finally, Hu Daye didn't forget to remind Hu Xiaoyun that she must work hard at Lu Feng's place from now on.

It made Hu Xiaoyun feel a bit jealous.

It was as if Lu Feng was Grandpa's real grandson, while she, his real granddaughter, was like an outsider.

Lu Feng walked out of the kitchen, took the vegetable basket from behind Hu Xiaoyun, and carried it into the kitchen.

When he came out again, he handed over the prepared Dongpo Pork Knuckle: "Xiao Yun, this is tonight's new dish. After you eat it later, help me write it on the price list."

The Dongpo Pork Knuckle on the plate glowed with a glossy sauce-red color, its skin quivering.

Smelling the rich meat fragrance, Hu Xiaoyun subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

She quickly took the plate with both hands and said with bright eyes: "Okay, Boss! How much is this pork knuckle per portion?"

As soon as she spoke, she couldn't help but secretly mutter in her heart.

This Dongpo Pork Knuckle hadn't appeared at lunch; the Boss had figured it out in just one afternoon.

She really didn't know how many more hidden skills the Boss had that she hadn't seen.

Every new dish that came out tasted no worse than the previous ones.

But there was one thing that made Hu Xiaoyun can't help but secretly complain.

Nowadays, many restaurants, when launching new flavors, always post huge advertisements at the shop door days in advance to attract customers' attention.

But every time the Boss launched a new dish, he wouldn't promote it in advance; he only notified when it was close to business hours.

Wasn't this too willful?

She was also in the "Lu Boss Business Notice Group" created by the customers in the shop, but the Boss still hadn't joined the group yet.

There were hundreds of people in the group; if he could notify them in advance and promote it a little.

With the Boss's culinary skill and popularity, those people in the group would probably trample the shop's threshold.

Such a good promotion channel, why wouldn't the Boss use it?

Lu Feng's gentle words interrupted Hu Xiaoyun's train of thought, bringing her back to her senses: "I've already written the price of Dongpo Pork Knuckle on the list first; you just need to wipe it off and rewrite it later."

Speaking, he pointed to the price list on the wall, gesturing for Hu Xiaoyun to look herself.

Hu Xiaoyun quickly put the plate on the dining table in the hall, then leaned in to look closely at the price list.

Indeed, on the blank space at the very bottom of the price list, "Dongpo Pork Knuckle, 298 yuan per portion" was written lightly in pencil.

Hiss... this price really isn't cheap.

Hu Xiaoyun couldn't help but secretly stick out her tongue.

She currently worked part-time in the shop, earning a salary of three hundred yuan.

But that was just barely enough to buy one portion of Dongpo Pork Knuckle in the shop.

If she had to spend her own money to buy it, she wouldn't be willing to no matter what.

But turning back to look at the Dongpo Pork Knuckle on the table again, she felt the price was reasonable.

The pork knuckle in the plate was not small, covered with a layer of tempting sauce; just looking at it, one knew it must be delicious.

Moreover, she had witnessed the Boss's culinary skill so many times.

Even a bowl of ordinary Yangchun Noodles could be made to earn thunderous applause.

Let alone Dongpo Pork Knuckle, a hard dish; even if it was a bit more expensive, it was only natural.

"Okay, Boss!"

Hu Xiaoyun agreed very happily.

"The pork knuckle will affect the texture if it gets cold; eat slowly, and write the price list after you finish."

After Lu Feng finished instructing, he turned around and walked back to the kitchen to continue preparing ingredients.

Hu Xiaoyun sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and tasted the Dongpo Pork Knuckle.

Eating a small piece with skin and meat together, her eyes suddenly widened.

As soon as it entered her mouth, the layer of fat under the skin melted in her mouth.

Biting lightly again with her teeth, the meat juice burst in her mouth instantly, making her unconsciously narrow her eyes.

The lean meat in the pork knuckle wasn't dry at all, with just the right amount of chewiness.

The fat didn't feel greasy at all when eaten.

The salty fragrance of the sauce wrapped the pork's own meat fragrance; the flavors intertwined, almost making her want to swallow her tongue along with it.

This bite was incredibly satisfying!

"Boss, Boss!"

Hu Xiaoyun put down her chopsticks and suddenly shouted loudly toward the kitchen.

Lu Feng was rinsing rice, and hearing the shout, he came out from the kitchen, asking in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"

"This pork knuckle is simply too delicious!"

Hu Xiaoyun's eyes shone bright; she glanced at those diners queuing outside the shop, her tone full of excitement: "Can I go to the door and promote it to them? If they knew, they'd definitely all be very expectant!"

The words had just left her mouth when she felt a bit regretful.

Hu Xiaoyun had never before seen Lu Feng do any promotion for his own new dishes.

What if the Boss just likes to be a bit low-key; wouldn't saying this be superfluous?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart.

Hearing Hu Xiaoyun's words, and seeing her face full of a conflicted expression, Lu Feng shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I thought it was some big deal, go ahead, it's fine."

"Okay Boss, then I'm going!"

Getting the Boss's permission, Hu Xiaoyun immediately became happy again, agreed with a sound, and stood up swiftly.

She took out her mobile phone from her pocket and sent a message in the "Lu Boss Business Notice Group".

"Lu Family Restaurant today's menu updated! Gospel for meat lovers! Today is the super delicious Dongpo Pork Knuckle, I've already tasted it for everyone, melts in the mouth, invincibly delicious! Those who want to eat, hurry gather at Lu Family Restaurant!"

The message just sent, the mobile phone went "ding-dong ding-dong" ringing non-stop, the group immediately boiled up.

"Holy crap! Today is a hard dish! This I must go over and taste!"

"I just came out from the company, rushing over now would take twenty minutes, should be in time, right?"

"Dongpo Pork Knuckle! Just seeing this name makes me drool, Lu Boss understands us foodies' favorites too well!"

"No overtime tonight! This Dongpo Pork Knuckle tonight no matter what I can't miss, today is Friday, next time want to eat have to wait several days!"

"@everyone, anyone near Xingda Plaza carpooling, let's go to Lu Boss's shop to eat Dongpo Pork Knuckle!"
