Protagonist:

Lu Feng

These words made the surrounding diners fall silent for a few seconds.

Quite a few people subconsciously looked at the drinks in their own hands, their eyes showing a few more points of fear.

A girl with a ponytail, holding a freshly bought pearl milk tea, frowned tightly with a conflicted expression.

"What should I do? I just bought this milk tea, haven't taken a single sip yet……"

Throw it away, this milk tea cost twenty yuan to buy.

Although it's not particularly expensive, it's still a pity.

But if I don't throw it away, and take it into Lu Boss's shop to eat later, I'll only be able to order one type of food like before.

Her gaze fell on her best friend beside her, her eyes instantly brightening, and she handed the milk tea over: "You drink this milk tea? It's my treat! Don't you usually love drinking this shop's milk tea the most?"

The best friend didn't even think, stepped back half a step, waved her hands and shook her head, as if what was handed over was poisonous crane's-bill: "Thanks thanks, but I don't want to drink it, I still want to eat a few more portions of what Lu Boss makes…… and I still want to live a few more years!"

These words made the ponytail girl freeze for a moment.

If it were before, her best friend would have jumped up high long ago, gratefully accepted it and drank it.

Today she refused so decisively, showing just how deeply the content on the small blackboard had sunk into people's hearts.

Forget it, wasting money is wasting money, might as well throw it away.

Just as the ponytail girl looked toward the garbage bin not far away, preparing to walk over and throw the milk tea away.

She happened to see a sanitation worker auntie wearing an orange uniform, slowly sweeping the roadside garbage with a broom.

The ponytail girl's eyes lit up, she walked over quickly, and stuffed the milk tea into the auntie's hands: "Auntie, I just bought this milk tea, haven't drunk it, you take it back and drink it!"

The sanitation worker auntie was bowing her head working, and was stunned by this sudden kindness.

She looked at the ponytail girl's sincere eyes, hurriedly accepted the milk tea with both hands, and said thanks with a smile: "Aiyo! Little girl, thank you so much! This milk tea looks expensive, my granddaughter loves drinking this, I'll take it back for her to taste!"

The ponytail girl smiled a bit embarrassedly: "Auntie no need to thank, but drinks like this, it's still better to let your granddaughter drink less in the future, it's not good for the body."

"My monthly salary is just that little bit, usually I don't bear to buy it for her, at most let her drink once or twice a week."

The sanitation worker auntie said with a beaming smile.

Only then did the ponytail girl nod reassuredly, and return to the queue in high spirits.

The other diners in the queue who had bought drinks looked at each other.

Feeling the drinks in their hands seemed to have found a suitable destination, they all gathered around the sanitation worker auntie.

"Auntie, I just bought this cola, the cap hasn't even been opened, you take it back and drink it!"

"Auntie you drink mine! This is yogurt, drinking it is nutritious!"

"My green tea is delicious! Auntie take it back and let your family taste it too!"

"Auntie, I only drank two sips of this iced black tea, there's still most of the bottle left…… do you have a dog at home? How about taking it back for your dog to drink?"

For a moment, the drink bottles in the sanitation worker auntie's arms piled up higher and higher, almost too many to hold.

Cola, milk tea, juice, yogurt…… all kinds of drinks were there.

The sanitation worker auntie still hadn't reacted at this moment, she stood in place, looking at the enthusiastic diners before her, completely bewildered.

What's up with these people today?

How come they suddenly all ran over to give me drinks?

I sweep and clean here on Food Street every day, usually never seen them like this?

Although her heart was full of doubts, facing this group of enthusiastic diners, she still kept saying thanks.

They're all kind-hearted people!

So many drinks, when the granddaughter at home sees them, she'll definitely be overjoyed!

…………

The sun poked out from the clouds, scorching sunlight fell on Food Street.

A young man in the middle of the queue couldn't help but frown, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, his gaze involuntarily drifting again toward that vending machine at the Braised Food Shop entrance not far away.

"The queue time at Lu Boss's place is a bit long, not drinking something really is a bit thirsty."

He touched the coins in his pocket, licked his somewhat dry lips, and said to himself: "If I could have a bottle of ice-cold cola right now, how refreshing that would be!"

"Thirsty or not, it's best not to drink those drinks."

An older diner standing in front of him turned his head and advised: "That stuff feels refreshing to drink, but actually it doesn't quench thirst at all, it's full of additives, occasionally drinking once or twice for novelty is fine, but drinking often is no good for the body, you'd be better off drinking mineral water than that stuff."

The young man nodded in agreement, looked helplessly at the vending machine: "I know this too, mineral water would work, but there isn't any in there."

The glasses man went all out to maximize profit.

He knew Lu Feng's shop also had free water, if he sold mineral water, even if someone came to buy it probably wouldn't be many.

And mineral water's profit is lower than drinks.

Therefore inside that vending machine, all that was sold were various kinds of drinks, just no mineral water.

"Young man, bear with it a bit, in a little while Lu Boss will open for business."

The older diner smacked his lips, a look of aftertaste appearing on his face: "Lu Boss's shop also has free water, don't know if you've drunk it, I feel that water drinks sweet and silky, much more delicious than those drinks sold outside."

His words weren't wrong at all.

The pure water provided in Lu Feng's shop, that was bought from the System Mall, is pure natural mountain spring water, drinking it carries a refreshing sweetness that penetrates the heart and spleen, cool and thirst-quenching.

"You young people ah, just like chasing novelty."

The older diner turned his head, his tone carrying an elder's seriousness: "Drinks this thing, indeed should drink less, using that stuff as water, when you later reach my age you'll get a body full of illness, how much suffering."

"Boss, you're right. I used to think drinks tasted better than water, but today I finally learned how harmful this stuff is. I'll have to change this habit from now on. If I really can't, I'll buy a cup of soy milk later."

The Young Man felt a bit embarrassed by what he said, scratched his head, and gave up the idea of buying a drink.

Just then, several full-of-energy voices came from the entrance of Lu Feng's Shop.

"Come on, come on! Boss Lu is giving everyone benefits! Everyone can get a free cup later! There's soy milk and mung bean soup, cold and hot both available, I'll hand them out to everyone later!"

The diners all looked over, and saw that a small stall had been set up at the entrance of Lu Feng's Shop.

Xiao Feilong, Gu Manman, and the other Food Anchors were standing beside the stall, shouting at the top of their lungs.

Standing behind them were Zhao Zhenhui, Qian Laoban, and Lin Yiming leading Lin Xi, along with several others.
