Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"I admit, those two flavors you mentioned are quite good."

Zhou Ming puffed out his chest and said seriously: "But personally, humans have evolved for so many years and finally reached the top of the food chain, surely not to eat vegetables!"

He had just finished speaking when the burly man standing in front of the two laughed and said: "Hahaha... Little brother, you're right! Eating meat in big mouthfuls is satisfying! I agree!"

A chorus of agreement immediately rose around them, and quite a few girls nodded along.

"Alright, alright, then I'll try some too."

Liang Shuang had originally been hesitant, but seeing so many people agree, she finally relented.

However, her gaze drifted toward the shop door, and her tone carried some concern: "But greasy things like Dongpo Pork Knuckle, I can't finish it alone, and Lu Boss doesn't allow leftovers here. If I get put on the blacklist, that would be a huge loss. There are still so many things Lu Boss has made that I haven't eaten yet!"

Previously, she and Zhou Ming had gone to another shop to eat Dongpo Pork Knuckle, but she had only taken a few bites with her chopsticks before she couldn't eat anymore.

After all, a pig's trotter is that big, and she really didn't have the confidence to finish it herself.

As soon as she said this, a group of "kind-hearted people" immediately popped up around her.

"It's okay, miss! If you can't finish it, we can help you eat it!"

But facing this "touching scene" of "unity, friendship, and mutual help," Liang Shuang was not moved at all.

"Uh... there's no need to trouble everyone, I came here with my boyfriend."

She smiled awkwardly, saying this while looking at her boyfriend Zhou Ming beside her.

Zhou Ming was currently standing on tiptoe, craning his neck to smell the fragrance drifting from the shop, his eyes fixed on the shop door.

Obviously, his soul had already been lured away by the meat fragrance drifting from inside the shop.

He hadn't heard a word of what his girlfriend had just said.

Liang Shuang immediately became unhappy.

So many people are teasing your girlfriend, and you, as her boyfriend, act as if you didn't hear.

What good are you?

Unable to contain her anger, she reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Zhou Ming's waist hard.

Liang Shuang's grip was strong; Zhou Ming cried out "Ow!" and shivered all over.

Zhou Ming looked at his girlfriend with a blank expression, his eyes full of confusion.

What's this?

Why pinch me for no reason?

"Brother, you'll help me later, right?"

Liang Shuang puffed her cheeks slightly, looking at Zhou Ming and asking through gritted teeth, her fingers still pinching the flesh on his waist.

"Mm! Of course I will! You're my girlfriend, if I don't help you, who will I help!"

Zhou Ming nodded quickly, his will to survive instantly maxed out.

Although he still hadn't figured out what to help with, going along with his girlfriend's words was definitely right.

The diners around were amused by this young couple, laughing heartily. After teasing them a few words, they continued discussing tonight's Dongpo Pork Knuckle.

Many people held up their mobile phones to post on their social feeds, immediately informing their friends and family that Lu Feng's shop was making Dongpo Pork Knuckle tonight.

Many others directly flipped through their contact lists, calling people one by one, summoning their friends to come quickly.

This lively scene was all seen by Hu Xiaoyun standing at the door, and she couldn't help but feel a small sense of achievement in her heart.

She hadn't expected that this small bit of promotion for the boss would actually raise so many diners' expectations.

Now she had helped the boss again.

Hu Xiaoyun returned to the shop very happily and continued eating the portion of Dongpo Pork Knuckle Lu Feng had made for her.

Time passed minute by minute.

As the things Lu Feng made in the kitchen were finished one after another, the fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger.

The fragrance in the air made the glutton worms in the stomachs of the diners outside roll around in their bellies.

Zhu Chang, standing at the front of the line, craned his neck to look into the shop, his round belly having growled for a long time.

He looked at his mobile phone every few minutes, hoping it would reach nine o'clock soon.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the somewhat old wall clock hanging on the hall wall.

Then, as if he had discovered something extraordinary, he shouted loudly toward the kitchen.

"Lu Boss, is the clock in your shop slow?"

This immediately drew the attention of many diners behind him.

They all took out their mobile phones to check the time, then looked at the wall clock on the hall wall, and also shouted.

"It really is! Lu Boss, your clock seems to be slow by five minutes!"

Hearing the commotion outside, Lu Feng walked out of the kitchen, looked at the wall clock, and said with a smile: "This wall clock is quite old; I suppose it's getting on in years and isn't very useful anymore."

The wall clock had been hanging there since the day he took over the shop.

He still remembered that this wall clock was bought back from the shopping mall by his father, who brought his younger self along.

When the system upgraded the shop, it seemed to have deliberately left him some old things with commemorative significance.

This old wall clock on the wall was among them.

"Lu Boss, is the battery dead? Why don't I help you adjust the time?"

A diner squeezed to the door and said, volunteering himself.

"This watch is so old, get a new one!"

Another diner also came over, saying very enthusiastically: "I run a clock shop, next time I'll get Boss Lu a latest model smart wall clock, replace this old one!"

Lu Feng looked at the clock hanging high up, smiling and waving his hand, saying with an indifferent expression: "No need for the trouble, it's too high, replacing it isn't convenient either, let it just hang like this."

Actually he didn't want to replace the wall clock.

For him, although this wall clock had been used for years, the time also didn't run that accurately.

But it carried his past memories, he couldn't bear to replace it.

"No problem Boss Lu, my family has a ladder!"

Zhu Chang raised his hand with a face full of excitement, saying loudly: "My home is right across from Food Street, I can go back and get it right now!"

"This clock's battery definitely needs replacing, I'll go buy one right now!"

"I'm a professional AC repairman, leave the ladder climbing work to me!"

The diners all spoke up one after another, each showing exceptional enthusiasm.

A small little clock actually made these people so concerned, it looked somewhat inconceivable.

However what they were really thinking was.

If they could secretly adjust the time on Lu Feng's shop clock a few minutes fast.

Then wouldn't they be able to eat delicious food a few minutes early every day?

Don't look at it being just a short few minutes.

For this group of foodies, even if it's eating Lu Feng's cooking one second earlier.

For them it's all a huge happy event.

No matter how high this clock hangs, even if hung on the shop's ceiling.

To be able to eat delicious food earlier, this group of foodies would also think of every way to adjust the time fast.

Lu Feng looked at those enthusiastic diners, saying with a teasing tone: "No need, I think this is fine, this way you can stay at my place a few more minutes."
