Protagonist:

Lu Feng

The old man turned around somewhat stiffly, only to see among the queue near the door that the girl of a university student couple was coughing.

Sun Qiming patted Xu Yating's back while complaining somewhat, "I told you to drink slowly and you wouldn't listen, choked, right?"

Xu Yating gave him an annoyed glance: "Cough cough... isn't it because of you? You insisted on eating skewers, and made the boss put so much chili!"

It turned out not to be his granddaughter.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear; just now he had really been given a fright.

"Sir, are you still eating here?"

Lu Feng saw that just now the old man had looked like a mouse seeing a cat, and asked with a suppressed smile.

This old man usually looked like an old cadre, calm and composed, but unexpectedly he was so afraid of his own granddaughter.

Compared like this, he felt this old man was quite interesting.

"Forget it, Young Man, pack it for me instead; I'll eat it on the way back in a while."

The old man pretended to be calm as he thought it over, but still decided not to risk eating in the shop.

He was really a bit worried that while he was eating the soup dumplings, his granddaughter would suddenly rush in and catch him red-handed.

"Sure thing! Sir, you haven't tried the shrimp and chive filling yet; how about a three-flavor assortment?"

Lu Feng nodded and suggested to the old man.

Tonight the three-flavor soup dumplings were very popular with diners; most of those who had bought earlier had chosen the three-flavor assortment.

After all, you could taste three flavors at once, equivalent to triple the deliciousness.

But the old man shook his head and still wanted only the fresh meat flavor.

Lu Feng was somewhat puzzled, but still respected the old man's choice; after all, everyone had their own preferences, perhaps the old man was not used to the shrimp and chive flavor.

A few minutes after the old man left carrying his packed soup dumplings, a tall and beautiful figure walked in from outside the door.

After Qin Feiyu walked in this time, she did not rush around looking for the old man's figure like last time.

Instead she just stood at the door, staring straight at Lu Feng.

Logically speaking, a beautiful girl looking at oneself should be a pleasant thing.

But if this girl was a police officer, the feeling would be different.

Lu Feng felt somewhat uncomfortable under her gaze, like a thorn in the back, like a bone in the throat, like sitting... oh, he was standing now.

Fortunately Qin Feiyu only looked at him for a while, then turned around and walked out of the shop.

Only then did Lu Feng feel the pressure in his heart disappear, while also secretly breaking into a cold sweat for the old man.

Fortunately the old man had wisely chosen to take it away; otherwise this time he would really have been caught red-handed.

It was really hard on this old man; coming out to eat soup dumplings was like being a thief.

Lu Feng shook his head, put away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and began to focus on serving the queuing diners.

Eleven o'clock at night, business hours ended.

Diners who hadn't bought soup dumplings wailed as they went to nearby Xiao Chi Tan to find food.

Lu Feng locked the shop door and took a taxi back to the Rental House.

After a simple shower, he lay in bed scrolling through short videos.

After watching several hip-swaying young ladies with a critical eye, Lu Feng came across a familiar blogger.

The blogger's name was "Xiao Feilong Is Hungry Again".

Seeing this name, Lu Feng couldn't help but think of that fat man from yesterday who demanded twenty portions of soup dumplings as soon as he opened his mouth.

Xiao Feilong's latest video was very short, less than three minutes, and the content was exactly the footage of customers eating soup dumplings in Lu Feng's shop that day.

The hall filmed in the video was clean and bright; the diners waiting to buy soup dumplings stretched from the front desk all the way to outside the gate.

The soup dumplings on the table were white and plump, steaming; just looking at them made people unable to help wondering what such good-looking soup dumplings would taste like.

The next second, a pair of chopsticks gently picked up a soup dumpling and put it into the mouth.

As the mouth kept chewing, Liang Bin's face in the video showed an expression of enjoyment from the bottom of his heart.

Although he didn't speak at all during the eating process.

But his somewhat exaggerated way of eating seemed to have a very strong infectiousness, making those watching the video unable to help wanting to drool.

I don't know if it was because Xiao Feilong's video was filmed too well; Lu Feng watched and watched, feeling that he himself had become hungry from watching.

The video was released last night at eleven o'clock; after fermenting for a whole day, the video had already broken a million views.

The comment section under the video had already exploded.

"What's going on? Did Xiao Feilong change protagonists?"

"Xiao Feilong is still up to no good, posting this kind of video in the middle of the night!"

"During the day it's either beauties or legs; at night it's either food or the uncanny!"

"These soup dumplings look so fragrant! I feel like I can smell the fragrance through the screen!"

"Read it, drool has flowed!"

"Can't take it, this person eats so deliciously, they've made me hungry watching!"

"Asking for the address! These soup dumplings look too delicious!"

"As a Jiangcheng person, how do I not know Jiangcheng has such delicious soup dumplings?"

"Xiao Feilong, if you know what's good for you, hurry up and spill the shop address, don't make me get down on my knees and beg you!"

Inside Fuyuan Community, Jiang City.

The short video's publisher, Xiao Feilong, was currently sitting by the computer.

One hand gripping the mouse clicking refresh non-stop, the other hand holding the three-flavor xiaolongbao packed from Lu Feng's shop tonight.

He had originally thought the video would blow up, but he hadn't expected the speed of it blowing up to be this fast.

Recalling last night, dinner was just one portion of xiaolongbao; in order to get the video out earlier, he couldn't be bothered to eat anything else.

Last night he was drooling while editing the video into shape.

Not long after the video was posted, the view count shot up with a whoosh.

He took a glance before bed last night; the video had been posted for less than an hour, and views were already in the hundred thousands.

Early the next morning he was woken up by all kinds of notification alerts from his phone backend.

Picked up the phone and looked — views had surged by several hundred thousand overnight.

Not only did it hit the platform's hot search list, even Jiangcheng official media reposted his short video.

In just one day, views had already hit a million, and his followers had grown by several hundred thousand along with it.

And this short video's data is currently still rising at a terrifying speed.

This time he really struck gold!

You have to understand, his previous videos, the highest view count was only just over a hundred thousand.

Backend comments and private messages blew up long ago; he spent the whole day today replying.

Causing him today, aside from going to Lu Family Restaurant in the evening to queue for xiaolongbao, to not step out the door at all.

Regarding the many people in the comment section begging him to post Lu Feng's shop address, Xiao Feilong did not respond.

He plans to take advantage of the video's heat these two days and start a livestream inside Lu Feng's shop.

But before that, of course he has to seek Lu Feng's opinion first.

Flipping open his phone and watching his own posted video again, watching the constantly increasing likes and comments, Xiao Feilong couldn't be happier.

As he watched, his stomach couldn't help but growl again.

That portion of xiaolongbao just now was completely not enough to eat.

Xiao Feilong silently closed the video and opened the takeout app.
