Lu Feng

The three hurried over, each taking a cup of soy milk, drinking as they walked to the end of the line.

The soy milk was just the right temperature, and Xiao Lin and Xiao Wu drank more than half a cup in one go.

The dryness in their mouths was instantly relieved.

The two, who usually didn't think soy milk was anything special, now felt this soy milk tasted pretty good.

"This soy milk is still better than those colas and such; you two had better drink fewer beverages from now on."

Old Zhou took a sip of soy milk and said to Xiao Lin and Xiao Wu with a smile.

"Indeed, we never noticed before; turns out this soy milk is quite tasty and also quenches thirst."

Xiao Wu nodded and said.

"This soy milk isn't even anything special; the water in Boss Lu's shop tastes even better than this. In a moment you'll know once you drink it—it's absolutely far tastier than all those miscellaneous drinks you usually drink!"

Old Zhou took another sip of soy milk, looking at the two and saying with a chuckle.

"Fine, then from now on when we come here we won't drink any beverages."

Xiao Lin and Xiao Wu both nodded; right now they completely didn't want to drink cola anymore.

The three slowly walked to the end of the line, the air filled with fragrance drifting from Lu Feng's shop.

Xiao Lin and Xiao Wu couldn't help but sniff their noses, saliva in their mouths beginning to secrete wildly.

Now that they weren't thirsty, they noticed the wafting fragrance in the air, which stirred the glutton in their bellies into a commotion.

Just now, as they walked over, Old Zhou had been saying all along how delicious the things in Boss Lu's shop were.

They originally thought some of what he said was a bit exaggerated.

But now, just smelling the aroma, they believed eighty or ninety percent.

Right now they drank the sweet soy milk, thinking about the delicious food they were about to eat, and no longer had any thought of wanting to buy drinks.

After all, drinks are something you can drink whenever you want.

But the things made in this place called Lu Family Restaurant, judging from what Manager Zhou just introduced to them, aren't something you can eat anytime.

…………

In the blink of an eye, Lu Feng's shop had been bustling for ten minutes.

Lu Feng handed a portion of freshly made Red Braised Pork to Hu Xiaoyun, then carried a pot of Spicy Hot Pot out of the Kitchen himself.

After placing the hot pot on the Counter, he walked into the Hall and drank a cup of water.

Then he happened to walk to the Store entrance and glanced toward the Braised Food Shop next door.

Yesterday at this time, quite a few people had gathered around that Vending Machine buying drinks, and the female boss would carry a crate of drinks to restock the machine every so often.

But today, that Vending Machine stood alone at the entrance of the Braised Food Shop, looking cold and deserted.

Around it, let alone people buying drinks, even passersby didn't glance at it.

"Looks like my plan, plus Boss Qian and their help, has taken effect; today indeed few people are buying drinks."

Lu Feng curled the corners of his mouth into a faint smile, very satisfied with such a result.

The arrogant look of that bespectacled man yesterday, and the mockery in his words, were still fresh in his memory at this moment.

Lu Feng's temper had always been gentle; if others didn't provoke him, he was always that sunny, mild-mannered boy.

But having a good temper didn't mean he had no temper and could be bullied.

That bespectacled man had bullied right up to his doorstep; of course he couldn't put up with it.

If that bespectacled man could just behave himself and not pull so many tricks.

Even if his machine was placed closer to the shop, he wouldn't say much.

After all, the bespectacled man was also making a living; doing business each relied on their own ability, no need to quibble too much.

But this guy, having taken advantage, still acted innocent.

Placing the Vending Machine at the entrance, not only was he not grateful, but he even showed off together with the Braised Food Shop female boss in front of him.

Doing this was going too far; did honest people deserve to be bullied?

As for the Braised Food Shop female boss, Lu Feng originally hadn't planned to target her.

They were all merchants doing business by opening shops on Food Street, seeing each other often.

She wanted to use Lu Feng's shop's Customer Flow to earn some extra money for herself; this was originally understandable.

The people setting up stalls near Lu Feng's shop entrance nowadays were doing more or less the same thing as her.

Lu Feng hadn't paid attention to these.

If the female boss hadn't joined that bespectacled man in making a scene yesterday and wagging her tongue behind his back, he had even planned to advise the female boss to change drink suppliers.

That way the machine could still be placed, and everyone could make money harmoniously.

Who would have thought, the female boss instead colluded with the bespectacled man, joining in mocking Lu Feng.

That look of a petty person triumphing made Lu Feng no longer have any thought of showing mercy.

This couldn't be blamed on him; he simply included the female boss as well, and dealt with them together.

"Boss, a few customers ordered Spicy Hot Pot."

Hu Xiaoyun's voice came from the Counter side of the shop.

Lu Feng withdrew his thoughts and responded to her: "Okay, coming right away."

He turned around and walked toward the Kitchen, continuing to cook for the customers.

He could already foresee what would happen over the next few days.

He estimated that if this situation continued for another two or three days, the bespectacled man and the boss's wife wouldn't be able to hold on.

By then, with no one patronizing that vending machine, it would naturally be taken away.

However, none of this had anything to do with him.

What mattered most right now was still to make every dish well.

Strive to complete the system's missions; this week's reward was still waiting for him.

…………

At the same time, at the door of the Braised Food Shop, the boss's wife had sweat all over her forehead, pacing anxiously in circles.

In the ten minutes since Lu Feng's Shop opened for business, she had already run over to the vending machine side six times.

"What's going on? This kid has already started business, why is he still not selling a single bottle?"

The boss's wife wiped the sweat from her forehead and said in a very irritated tone.

"How about it, these drinks won't sell today, right? What did I say yesterday? You said your business wouldn't last, do you believe it now?"

A voice somewhat gloating came from beside them.

The Ramen Shop boss walked over slowly, a teasing smile on his face.

He had come specially to watch the joke.

Because not a single bottle of drink had been sold, the Braised Food Shop boss's wife was already holding a belly full of anger.

Hearing the Ramen Shop boss's sarcastic tone at this moment, she instantly blew her top.

"None of your damn business! How I run my business is none of your business, you stinking ramen seller, who are you to stand here pointing fingers!"

The boss's wife put her hands on her hips and directly shouted at him in a furious manner.

"Hey, I didn't point fingers at you, and this really isn't any of my business."

Facing the boss's wife's furious cursing, the Ramen Shop boss was not angry at all; the smile on his face became even more brilliant.

Facing the boss's wife's insults, the Ramen Shop boss did not get angry.

The more anxious the boss's wife acted, the happier he felt inside.

Weren't you quite smug yesterday?

Why aren't you showing off today?
