Protagonist:

Lu Feng

While he was queuing outside the door just now, he happened to search online, so he continued speaking directly.

"Dongpo Pork Knuckle is nothing more than boiling it in plain water until tender, then frying it in a wok until the skin wrinkles, and finally pouring braised sauce over it to stew until flavorful — aren't those the methods? With such simple methods, I often make it at home myself!"

The moment his words fell, a sudden pain shot through his waist.

Liang Shuang's expression turned unpleasant, looking at Zhou Yang with a half-smile: "So you know how to make it? Then how come I've never seen you make it for me? Did you make it for some ex-girlfriend of yours?"

Zhou Yang's face twitched at once; he tried his best to maintain his expression, winking and making faces at Liang Shuang.

How would I know how to make Dongpo Pork Knuckle?

We've been together this long — could you still not know what level my culinary skill is?

I only know how to cook instant noodles!

Xiao Feilong ignored their "flirting and bickering," waving his hand with a face full of disdain: "I just said, don't compare those shoddy things with Lu Boss's culinary skill."

"That's also because Lu Boss's culinary skill is formidable; what does it have to do with you?"

Zhou Yang, having barely escaped his girlfriend's death-grip pinch, said unconvinced: "I just don't like eating Dongpo Pork Knuckle; what are you getting so worked up for?"

Although he retorted at Xiao Feilong, he still praised Lu Feng's culinary skill.

"Can't be bothered talking to you."

Xiao Feilong was amused by his words and summarized with precision: "This is a classic case of 'the grapes are sour because you can't eat them.'"

"Alright alright, stop arguing."

Seeing these two at a standoff with many onlookers in the hall, Liang Shuang hurriedly tugged Zhou Yang.

She smiled a bit embarrassedly at Xiao Feilong and said in an apologetic tone: "Sorry, my boyfriend's temper is a bit stubborn."

Zhou Yang, seeing his girlfriend not speaking up for him, couldn't help but want to say something more.

But Liang Shuang immediately glared at him; her slender but strong fingers flexed a few times, her eyes holding an unmistakable warning.

One look at that gaze and those finger movements, and Zhou Yang instantly wilted: "Baby I was wrong, I'll shut up."

"Enough, rein in that temper of yours when you're out in public from now on!"

Liang Shuang looked at Zhou Yang with displeasure, then decisively decided: "We'll order one portion of Dongpo Pork Knuckle; it's rare we come eat at Lu Boss's place tonight, we have to taste it. Don't worry, I'll pay tonight — just treat it as if I really got gastroenteritis and went to the hospital."

"Baby that's not what I meant……"

Hearing that, Zhou Yang instantly conceded, his tone softening as well.

A few minutes later, this couple Zhou Yang and Liang Shuang each carried a tray and sat in a corner of the hall.

Liang Shuang ordered Dongpo Pork Knuckle; Zhou Yang ordered a portion of Braised Beef Noodles.

The moment the two sat down, Liang Shuang impatiently picked up her chopsticks and clamped a mouthful of the knuckle.

"Wow! This knuckle's flavor is simply too perfect! A hundred times tastier than what we've eaten before!"

The next second, her eyes went round as saucers, and she couldn't help crying out in surprise.

Then she turned her head and glared at Zhou Yang, her tone carrying some reproach: "No wonder that person was talking about you just now! Tell me, what kind of junk did you take me to eat before! This made by Lu Boss is the real Dongpo Pork Knuckle, okay?"

This thing Dongpo Pork Knuckle, she had eaten it a few times following Zhou Yang before.

She never really liked such greasy stuff; every time she could only eat a few bites before getting too sick of it to continue.

But now, after tasting the knuckle Lu Feng made, she couldn't help becoming suspicious.

Were those she ate before and what Lu Boss made really the same thing?

"For real? Let me taste a bite!"

Zhou Yang had just eaten a mouthful of beef noodles; hearing his girlfriend so excited, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

He picked up his chopsticks and reached over, just about to clamp a bite to taste.

Unexpectedly, before his chopsticks even touched the knuckle in the plate, they were blocked back by Liang Shuang: "Dream on! This portion of knuckle was ordered by me; didn't you say you don't like eating knuckle? You're not eating a single bite!"

Zhou Yang dejectedly withdrew his chopsticks, only able to watch helplessly as Liang Shuang ate bite after bite.

Right now his mind was full of the flavor of his girlfriend's knuckle; he even forgot to eat his own portion of beef noodles.

"Right baby, there's no bone inside this knuckle; hurry and taste what that thing is made of."

Zhou Yang stared tightly at the knuckle before Liang Shuang, urging curiously.

"See it see it! What is this? Looks just like amber, and semi-transparent too, so pretty!"

Under Zhou Yang's urging, Liang Shuang quickly ate to the innermost part of the Dongpo Pork Knuckle.

She couldn't help picking it up with chopsticks, observing while exclaiming in surprise.

Then she carefully bit a mouthful, her eyes instantly full of delight: "Too delicious! This is a completely different flavor from the knuckle, but it's delicious to eat, seems like seafood!"

"What on earth is this thing?"

Zhou Yang only felt his curiosity almost uncontainable; he subconsciously glanced around the hall.

Originally he still wanted to find that Xiao Feilong who had seriously lectured him just now to ask, but right now he couldn't spot his figure anywhere.

"What kind of person — shows off then runs; right when he'd be useful, he's nowhere to be found……"

Zhou Yang pursed his lips, muttering softly in a somewhat depressed tone.

But the knuckle before his eyes looked incomparably attractive; right now he also wanted to taste it.

"Baby, this knuckle looks not small; you definitely can't finish it alone; give me half!"

Expectation showed in Zhou Yang's eyes as he looked at Liang Shuang and said with a fawning face.

"I realize I was wrong."

Liang Shuang swallowed the pork knuckle in her mouth, smacking her lips with a satisfied look: "I can finish this knuckle all by myself, so you don't need to manage it; just eat your beef noodles!"

"Then... at least let me taste that transparent thing inside? I've never eaten it, just one bite!"

Zhou Yang said somewhat wronged.

Seeing his appearance, Liang Shuang couldn't help but smile, but still used chopsticks to pick up a small piece and handed it over: "Just this one bite, the rest are all mine!"

Zhou Yang hurriedly brought his mouth over, and ate that piece glowing with amber luster in one bite.

As soon as his teeth chewed, his eyes instantly widened.

After that thing entered his mouth, his tongue first touched a smooth and tender gelatinous texture.

With a light bite, that thing made a squeaky crisp texture in his mouth.

Immediately after, a fresh flavor filled his entire mouth.

It wasn't that kind of strong seafood taste, but carried a unique seaweed-like fresh sweetness.

"Mmm! This flavor... is really delicious!"

Zhou Yang finally ate the flavor he wanted to eat, couldn't help but lick his lips, and sighed with a satisfied look.

Afterwards he was also curious about what this thing was made of.
