Protagonist:

Lu Feng

This fresh and refreshing taste made him unable to bother researching what exactly it was at this moment; he directly picked up another piece with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.

Zhao Zhenhui at the side also picked up a piece and ate it.

This thing was both slippery and crisp in the mouth, perfectly blending with the flavor of the pork knuckle from just now, making the taste in his mouth become even more layered.

"Didn't expect there to be such a delicious thing hidden inside this pork knuckle; Lu Boss is truly creative!"

Zhao Zhenhui ate while nodding repeatedly, unable to help but exclaim loudly in praise.

An ordinary Dongpo Pork Knuckle, gnawing down to the bone means the experience of this dish is about to reach its end.

After all, although some residual flavor can still be gnawed from the bone, there is never again the satisfaction of eating meat.

But the Dongpo Pork Knuckle made by Lu Feng was completely different.

He used this ingredient with a unique texture to replace the bone in the middle, giving people a sense of surprise.

On the contrary, it made people find it more flavorful the more they ate; every bite could continue the previous satisfaction.

Zhao Zhenhui and Qian Laoban, the two of them, ate with increasing amazement; this scene was seen clearly by all the surrounding diners.

Zhou Ming and Liang Shuang, this young couple who had just been queuing outside the door, had now also queued into the Hall.

Zhou Ming had originally been muttering outside the whole time that he must taste the Dongpo Pork Knuckle tonight.

But upon entering the door and seeing the price of the Dongpo Pork Knuckle on the wall, his eyes went straight.

On the Price List on the wall it was written clearly: "Dongpo Pork Knuckle, 298 yuan per portion."

This price was quite a bit more expensive than the Lion's Head, Red Braised Pork, and such above it.

It directly became the price ceiling of the Shop.

Zhou Ming took one look at the Dongpo Pork Knuckle's price, and his gaze immediately hesitated.

This price had already exceeded his expectations; originally he thought a portion would be just over a hundred yuan.

But this price was enough for him to buy a newly released AAA game.

Liang Shuang tugged on Zhou Ming's sleeve, her eyes staring fixedly at Zhao Zhenhui and Qian Laoban's table: "Hey hey hey, look look! Lu Boss's Dongpo Pork Knuckle is different from other places; inside it's actually not bone! The thing taken out looks like amber; one look and you can tell it's delicious!"

Zhou Ming silently calculated an account in his heart.

The Dongpo Pork Knuckle's price was a bit beyond his expectations, much more expensive than what they had eaten in other shops before.

298 yuan a portion, enough for him to buy a recently released AAA game.

He smiled a somewhat unnatural smile on his face and persuaded in a low voice: "Haven't we eaten Dongpo Pork Knuckle elsewhere before? Why don't we eat something else tonight first."

Liang Shuang's originally expectant eyes dimmed, and she said somewhat unwillingly: "Weren't you just clamoring outside that you wanted to eat pork knuckle? Now I want to eat it, and you say eat something else……"

Zhou Ming indeed couldn't bear that nearly three hundred yuan per portion Dongpo Pork Knuckle; he could only brace himself and continue: "Forget it then; I see this pork knuckle looks the same as what's bought in other shops too; looking at it there's no technical content either; let's just eat soup noodles."

Xiao Feilong was discussing tonight's Dongpo Pork Knuckle enthusiastically with those few anchors; Zhou Yang's words just happened to drift into his ears.

Hearing him say this, Xiao Feilong couldn't help but frown, reached out and patted Zhou Yang's shoulder.

"Brother, if you really can't afford it just admit it generously; can you not disparage the things Lu Boss makes here?"

As he spoke he pointed at the Dongpo Pork Knuckle on Zhao Zhenhui and Qian Laoban's table that was almost eaten up: "Those crudely manufactured things outside, compared to Lu Boss's culinary skill, the difference is not just a little bit; if you don't understand, don't speak nonsense."

Zhou Yang turned his head to look; he didn't recognize the person who patted his shoulder either; he estimated it was just an ordinary diner.

He usually scrolls Short Videos; the ones he watches the most are videos of young ladies dancing; therefore he fundamentally doesn't recognize Xiao Feilong.

As for Xiao Feilong's identity as a Food Anchor, he knows even less; he only feels this person is a bit meddlesome.

I'm talking to my girlfriend; what are you, a stranger, butting in for?

Being retorted to like this by Xiao Feilong in public, and with his girlfriend Liang Shuang watching at the side.

Zhou Ming instantly felt his face couldn't hold up.

He frowned, stiffened his neck, and immediately retorted back unconvinced: "Who are you? You speak as if you understand very well; if you understand, then speak and let's hear it?"

"Yo, still not convinced? Seeing you're so eager to learn, today I'll give you a free popular science lesson."

Xiao Feilong didn't get angry either; on the contrary, he was amused.

He cleared his throat and spoke very confidently: "First let's talk about this pig trotter; in ancient times it was called Immortal Meat; you should have heard of this, right?"

"Who doesn't know this; do you need to come popularize it?"

Zhou Yang's face reddened; he felt a bit guilty inside, but his mouth stubbornly held firm.

Actually he had fundamentally never heard of this name.

But in front of his girlfriend, momentum-wise he absolutely couldn't lose to the other party.

"Then count you as having a bit of knowledge."

Xiao Feilong smiled and continued asking: "Then let me ask you again; in ancient times when scholars rushed to take exams, relatives and friends all liked to give trotters; do you know why?"

Zhou Ming opened his mouth; for half a day he couldn't say a word.

What ghost?

How would I know this?

I just came to eat a meal; do I still need to know these things?

Liang Shuang curiously leaned over and tentatively answered: "Because pig trotters are nutritious and can nourish the brain?"

"Young Lady, what you said is also one of the reasons, but not entirely correct."

Xiao Feilong smiled and shook his head, then began to popularize: "Because pig trotters are also called ti bang, which sounds the same as ti bang (gold list), giving pig trotters is hoping the examinee can achieve success in the imperial examinations; it represents a blessing for the examinee; this has historical evidence; many ancient documents have records of it."

Xiao Feilong, this Food Anchor, is not one for nothing.

To be a good food anchor, just being able to eat isn't enough.

All kinds of knowledge about food are also indispensable.

For this, Xiao Feilong previously put in no small effort.

"So pig trotters have this meaning too, today I've gained new knowledge!"

"No wonder back when I was in school, every time exams came around my mom would stew pig trotters for me to eat!"

As these words fell, the diners around who were pricking up their ears listening revealed expressions of sudden realization on their faces.

"I just now only said the elbow's cooking method has no technical content, who discussed this with you?"

Zhou Yang looking at the scene before his eyes, his face even more couldn't hold, still unconvinced said.

"So it's said, ignorance is scary, wanting to show off in front of a girlfriend, at least culture must keep up to work."

Xiao Feilong looking at Zhou Yang shook his head, tone carrying a few points of disdain: "You again haven't eaten Lu Boss's cooked elbow, dare say this has no technical content? Do you know how this elbow is made?"

"Who said I don't know?"

Zhou Yang instantly became somewhat proud, face somewhat proudly said: "Although I haven't eaten Lu Boss's cooked elbow, but the elbow's cooking method I still know!"
