Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Indeed, the texture is quite different when eaten cold compared to hot."

Qian Laoban also ate a piece, savored it carefully, and nodded repeatedly, saying: "When eaten hot it's soft, glutinous, and springy; when eaten cold it's crisp and refreshing. This Deer Horn Vegetable really supports two ways of eating."

"This Deer Horn Vegetable is good both hot and cold, but if it's lukewarm, it's not as good."

Zhao Zhenhui couldn't help but glance toward the kitchen: "One Dongpo Pork Knuckle, and just because of a side dish it gains another way of eating and texture, and the key is that both are so delicious—Lu Boss really puts too much thought into this!"

Qian Laoban and Zhao Zhenhui continued to devour the cold pork knuckle; the firm pork knuckle and crisp Deer Horn Vegetable eaten together with rice seemed to have even more flavor than the hot pork knuckle they had just eaten.

"Lu Boss has once again refreshed my understanding of Dongpo Pork Knuckle."

The diners at the nearest table watched their every move closely.

Seeing them eat the Deer Horn Vegetable, they couldn't help but sigh.

"There really is a second way of eating? Hot Dongpo Pork Knuckle was already delicious enough; Lu Boss has truly mastered Dongpo Pork Knuckle. This attitude of pursuing perfection—I'm thoroughly impressed!"

Another diner who had just finished the hot pork knuckle looked at the cold pork knuckle on Zhao Zhenhui's table, his eyes full of admiration.

"Lu Boss's culinary skill is godly again, so awesome!"

A young diner gave a thumbs-up with an excited expression.

From his tone of voice, it was clear he was definitely someone who liked playing games.

"I only now know what pursuing perfection means."

A white-collar worker looked at the Dongpo Pork Knuckle on the table, his eyes filled with some emotion.

He seemed to have been inspired by this scene to awaken his inner fighting spirit, and said energetically: "Lu Boss's cooking skills are already so amazing, yet he keeps pursuing higher levels. I'll go back after I finish eating later and revise today's PPT three more times, perfecting it before handing it in!"

"In my opinion, three times isn't enough."

The colleague sitting next to him patted his shoulder with a smile, teasingly saying: "Lu Boss's pork knuckle couldn't be made without dozens of times of effort. If you want to catch up to Lu Boss, you'll have to revise it dozens of times too."

"As expected of Lu Boss."

Zhou Yang was also thoroughly convinced at this moment. He looked at Lu Feng's busy figure in the kitchen and said to his girlfriend, who was still wolfing down Dongpo Pork Knuckle beside him: "Only someone with such an attitude of pursuing perfection can create irresistible deliciousness. No wonder the diners here all like Lu Boss's cooking so much."

Liang Shuang's mouth was stuffed full of Dongpo Pork Knuckle, with no room to speak, just nodding repeatedly.

In the queue in the hall, two diners were huddled together whispering.

"Let's both order a portion of pork knuckle later, and eat one portion after it cools down, how about that?"

One of the diners, watching Zhao Zhenhui and the others eat cold pork knuckle, felt an itch in his heart and started planning with his companion to try the other flavor of Dongpo Pork Knuckle later.

"That's a good idea. How do we split it later?"

The companion agreed immediately and started directly discussing how to divide it.

"Simple: we each get half of the hot pork knuckle and half of the cold pork knuckle. Fair and reasonable."

The diner from before proposed a very fair way of dividing it.

The two happily decided on it just like that.

Their conversation was overheard by many diners in the queue.

Once one did it, two followed.

In the following time, many diners started discussing with their companions.

Even those who came alone started pairing up with other diners they had met in Lu Feng's shop.

This way, they could eat Dongpo Pork Knuckle with two different textures tonight.

The second way of eating Dongpo Pork Knuckle immediately aroused the diners' interest.

Never underestimate the determination of foodies.

Those diners who couldn't find anyone they knew, even if they had only exchanged a few words with others, now started pairing up one after another.

In an instant, most of the diners behind had become people splitting orders to get pork knuckle.

Tonight's Dongpo Pork Knuckle once again became the sought-after delicacy in Lu Feng's shop.

…………

At ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Feng's shop was still bustling with business.

At the same time, the "Late Night Food" Program aired as scheduled.

This program was very popular in Jiangcheng, especially for foodies who loved all kinds of food; they wouldn't miss a single episode.

Every episode of "Late Night Food" had a theme.

And the theme of tonight's episode had a particularly eye-catching name.

It was called "God of Cooking Small Shop in Food Street".

The theme of this episode was called "God of Cooking Small Shop in Food Street".

Many people had been looking forward to tonight's episode for a long time.

These people were naturally the diners in Lu Feng's shop.

When the television station came to interview Lu Feng and film yesterday, many diners saw it.

When Han Lu and the others came out of Lu Feng's shop, the diners all crowded around asking about the program's air time.

As die-hard fans of Lu Feng's food, they showed great enthusiasm about their idol being on television.

As for their enthusiasm, Han Lu didn't hide it yesterday.

Upon learning the program would air tonight, many people were full of anticipation.

Therefore, although Lu Feng didn't announce it today, the word spread among the diners—ten telling a hundred, a hundred telling a thousand—and almost everyone knew about it.

As the program's broadcast time approached, many diners still in Lu Feng's shop decisively chose to take their food home in takeout boxes.

As for those diners who had come early, they had long since finished eating at the fastest speed and gone home to watch the program.

The diners who lived far away didn't panic either; soon someone discovered that a liquid crystal television was hanging in the hall of the ramen shop next door.

They immediately picked up their respective takeout boxes and streamed in a mighty throng into the ramen shop next door.

The ramen shop's boss was originally sitting leisurely in the hall scrolling on his mobile phone.

This time point hadn't yet reached their busy time.

According to past experience, they had to wait until Lu Feng finished business for the day before it became their turn to be busy.

But he soon noticed the commotion at the door, and when he looked up, his jaw nearly dropped in shock.

A large group of diners streamed into the shop in a mighty throng, and in no time at all they packed his ramen shop full to bursting.

"Boss, hurry up and turn on the TV! Lu Boss is on the program tonight!"

Someone shouted at the top of his lungs, and casually ordered a cold-tossed beef dish while he was at it.

Many people also chimed in agreement.

The ramen shop boss reacted instantly, his spirits lifting at once, and he agreed repeatedly without hesitation.

While greeting the customers in the hall, he hurriedly ordered the back kitchen to start cooking, and the excited smile on his face simply couldn't be suppressed.

Judging by the looks of it, tonight's business is going to break records again.
