Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Hu Xiaoyun quickly scanned the messages in the group chat, but she couldn't bother replying now.

She stuffed her phone into her pocket and walked lightly to the outside of the shop.

Hu Xiaoyun came outside, standing on the steps at the store entrance and cleared her throat.

The diners who were originally chatting and queuing outside waiting for business fell silent in unison when they saw her come out.

"Uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters, the Boss has made a new dish today! It's super super delicious Dongpo Pork Knuckle, welcome everyone to come taste it later!"

Hu Xiaoyun had a sweet smile on her face, her voice clear and full of energy.

As soon as she finished speaking, the queuing diners cheered excitedly all at once.

Hu Xiaoyun's gaze swept over the few diners in front, and she saw two familiar figures.

One was Zhao Zhenhui, who often came to the shop to eat.

The person behind him was chubby, with a gold watch shining on his wrist and a bright green jade ring on his finger, looking very expensive at a glance.

This person was Qian Zhuang, chairman of Yangcheng Qian Shi Group, who often came to the shop with Zhao Zhenhui recently.

Since returning to Yangcheng, he had been missing the taste of the food at Lu Feng's Shop every day.

In order to free up time to go to Jiangcheng as soon as possible, Qian Laoban handled the company's matters at full speed.

He just finished a meeting with shareholders in the morning, and as soon as he left the conference room, he immediately had his secretary book him the latest flight to Jiangcheng.

By the time he arrived in Jiangcheng it was already evening, and as soon as he got off the plane he went straight to the company where Zhao Zhenhui was.

When Qian Laoban arrived, Zhao Zhenhui was still in a meeting with the company's management.

The meeting had just started halfway when he was forcibly pulled by Qian Laoban to Food Street.

"Manager Zhao, Manager Qian, hello, the Dongpo Pork Knuckle the Boss made tonight is super delicious, you must try it later."

Hu Xiaoyun walked forward and smiled as she greeted the two of them.

Zhao Zhenhui smiled and nodded, then looked at Qian Laoban standing behind him and said teasingly: "Manager Qian, you coming to Jiangcheng today is really a coincidence, you just arrived and ran into such a hard dish."

He first smiled and congratulated Qian Laoban, then deliberately showed a look of pity and continued: "But you're still a step too late. If you had arrived in Jiangcheng this morning, you could have caught Boss Lu treating everyone at noon today. The Red Braised Pork and Lion's Head you missed this week could all be eaten at once. Sigh... such a pity."

Qian Laoban listened to the teasing in Zhao Zhenhui's tone, still smiling on the surface.

But he couldn't help cursing in his heart.

Those waste shareholders at the company had to discuss everything in meetings, big or small.

If not for them wasting time this morning, he might have arrived in Jiangcheng last night.

"Missed it, missed it, what's the big deal!"

Qian Laoban put on an indifferent look: "This time I've already told my secretary, I'll stay here for at least half a month. Although I missed Boss Lu treating everyone, I can come here every day for these half a month, not missing a single meal. I'll make up for everything I didn't get to eat!"

"Not bad, not bad. But during the time you weren't in Jiangcheng, Boss Lu came out with quite a few new good things."

Zhao Zhenhui shook his head with a smile and said in a very relaxed tone: "Fortunately I haven't been busy lately, I didn't miss a single one. This is what they call being close to the water gets the moon first. Fortunately Boss Lu and I are both in Jiangcheng, so we can come here every day to eat."

This damn humblebrag.

"Manager Qian, are you sure you can still come here every day to eat in the future?"

Qian Laoban glanced at Zhao Zhenhui sourly, a smile of ill intent curling at the corner of his mouth, and took out his phone as if to make a call: "Looks like your work isn't saturated enough, Manager Zhao. Should I tell my secretary to cut the construction period of our cooperation project in half, making you busy until late at night every day? Let's see if you still have time to come here then?"

"No no no, Manager Qian, I was wrong, I was just joking with you."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhenhui immediately raised his hands in surrender: "Please don't do this to me, I still want to come eat at Boss Lu's every day in the future."

Seeing Zhao Zhenhui's surrendering look, Qian Laoban couldn't help but laugh heartily with satisfaction.

Previously they were just ordinary partners, and whenever they met they always talked about cooperation between their two companies.

Besides that, they didn't have a deeper friendship.

But since they queued together at Lu Feng's Shop and often shared delicious food together,

their relationship gradually became more familiar than before without them noticing.

Now although they were still partners, they were more like close friends.

They could tease each other like now, saying a couple of casual jokes, and neither would take the other's jokes to heart.

Those meat-loving carnivores in the queue, upon hearing that tonight's new dish was Dongpo Pork Knuckle, all became impatient.

"Baby, did you hear? Tonight's new dish is Dongpo Pork Knuckle, this trip was really worth it!"

In the middle of the queue, a thin tall young man turned to look at his girlfriend beside him, looking smug as he said: "This afternoon our boss wanted to keep me for overtime tonight, but luckily I'm smart. I told him you had acute gastroenteritis, otherwise we wouldn't be able to eat this meal tonight!"

This young man was Zhou Ming, and beside him was his girlfriend Liang Shuang, whom he had been dating for two years.

Seeing his smug look, Liang Shuang immediately pouted in dissatisfaction and slapped his arm, not lightly or heavily.

"Zhou Ming, do you lack virtue or what? Just for a bite to eat, you curse me to be sick every day, right?"

She glared at Zhou Ming and started counting on her fingers: "Tuesday you said I sprained my foot, Wednesday you said I had a fever, yesterday Thursday you said I grew a corn that needed cutting, and today you said I have gastroenteritis. Next time you ask for leave, are you going to say I have hemorrhoids?"

"Hemorrhoids? That's a good excuse, it can last for several days!"

Zhou Ming's eyes lit up, saying with a "why didn't I think of that" look.

"Get lost! Why don't you say you're the one who's sick!"

Liang Shuang got angry, hugging her arms and gnashing her teeth as she questioned him.

Seeing his girlfriend angry, Zhou Ming hurriedly went up to beg for forgiveness, and only after a long time did he get her to calm down.

"Baby, this Dongpo Pork Knuckle is a hard dish. Although we've eaten it elsewhere before, Boss Lu's must be more delicious. Even without rice I could eat a big plate!"

After coaxing his girlfriend, Zhou Ming started talking about tonight's new dish again.

"That greasy Dongpo Pork — you still haven't had enough of it?"

Liang Shuang wasn't very interested in this dish that was entirely meat; she still preferred lighter things: "I think Lu Boss's Yangchun Noodles are delicious, and the Tea Eggs from yesterday were super amazing too."

As Liang Shuang spoke, she couldn't help licking her lips, recalling the taste from a few days ago, and saliva couldn't help but start secreting.
