Protagonist:

Lu Feng

At a table by the window in the Hall, Master Qin and several others sat around the table, leisurely eating the food on the table.

The movements from Zhu Chang's side quickly caught their attention.

They also noticed the two portions of takeout rice on Zhu Chang's table.

"This young man is quite clever; one portion of rice really isn't enough. Next time we come, we should bring a few more portions of rice from home."

Master Qin said while looking at the bowl of Xianglu Rice almost finished in front of him.

Liu Zhen Guo beside him slapped his chopsticks onto the table with a "crack," sat up straight, and stood up: "Old Qin, what are we waiting for until tomorrow? There's still so much hot pot broth left; I'll go buy a few boxes of rice right now, you guys eat first!"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Master Qin and the others to respond, and strode toward the Door.

When he reached the shop door, he suddenly turned back again and shouted somewhat uneasily toward Master Qin and the others: "You guys must not eat up everything I ordered while I'm gone! Especially you, Old Qin, remember to leave me some hot pot broth!"

"Got it, got it, I'll save some for you, hurry up and come back!"

Master Qin waved his hand toward Liu Zhen Guo at the Door and responded loudly.

Watching his hurried back as he walked out of the Shop, Master Qin couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

This Liu Zhen Guo, though he's already up there in age, his temper is still as impatient as when he was young.

With Liu Zhen Guo taking the lead, the other diners at several tables in the Hall suddenly couldn't sit still either.

"Brother, do me a favor, watch my Yangchun Noodles and Red Braised Pork for me, I'll go buy some rice to bring back!"

"I want to go buy too, let's go together, let the neighbor table watch for us!"

"I'm going too! Uncle, watch for me, I'll share a portion of rice with you when I get back!"

"Which kind soul can bring me a portion of rice back? I can share a few spoonfuls of hot pot broth with him!"

"......"

For a while, several tables of customers all stood up and walked out one after another.

Hu Xiaoyun behind the Counter was taking orders for the queuing diners; today almost every customer ordered two or three dishes, making her much more focused than usual.

Hearing the Hall suddenly become lively, she paused in her hand and subconsciously turned to look.

This look startled her.

The diners who had filled the Hall just now had emptied out more than half in the blink of an eye.

More than ten diners were now bustling toward the shop door.

On the tables in the Hall, the uneaten dishes of those people were still steaming.

What happened to this group of diners?

The things on the table weren't even finished yet, how did they just leave?

"Hey! Wait a moment!"

Hu Xiaoyun didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly shouted loudly at the group of diners who had reached the Door: "Leaving without finishing your ordered food will get you listed on the Blacklist by the Boss!"

Hu Xiaoyun couldn't help but shout loudly at that group of diners again.

The few diners at the back heard her shout and hurriedly stopped and turned around.

One of the diners waved at her and responded loudly: "Xiao Yun, we're going out to buy something and will be back; we'll keep eating after the things come back! Don't clear them!"

"Right right right! Just going out to buy a box of rice, we'll be back very soon!"

Other diners also followed and said one after another.

Hu Xiaoyun then breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I know, you guys hurry up and come back! There are many people eating now, don't make others wait too long."

The diners at the Door responded in unison and swarmed toward the Xiao Tan and Fan Dian outside the door.

The diners queuing in the Hall saw this scene and all became eager to try.

This news quickly spread to outside the Shop.

For a while, among the diners at the back of the queue, a large group also followed suit and began to imitate.

…………

The fast food restaurant opposite Lu Feng's Shop was somewhat cold and deserted.

In the not spacious Hall, three tables of customers sat sparsely, eating their meals with their heads down.

Those were migrant workers working at nearby construction sites.

Although the taste of this fast food restaurant was average, it was economical and affordable.

The things in Lu Feng's Shop were delicious, but the price was not something they, who earned hard money, could afford to eat every day.

The Boss and Chef in the back kitchen was leisurely sitting on a chair drinking tea at this moment.

"Boss, there isn't much rice left in the rice cooker; should we steam another pot?"

The cashier girl at the Cashier walked in, pointed to the huge rice cooker not far away, and asked the Boss.

The fast food restaurant Boss waved his hand: "What's the rush? Steaming rice now won't sell much; wait until Boss Lu opposite closes his shop, then we'll have business."

The fast food restaurant Boss knew very well in his heart that this was Lu Feng's business hours.

Most of the diners coming to Food Street went to Lu Feng's Shop.

Therefore, the business in the shop wouldn't be good at this time.

Only after Lu Feng's Shop closed would those diners who hadn't eaten enough or hadn't gotten in line scatter to their small shops to fill their stomachs.

However, this afternoon, the cheering and jumping movements of that group of diners also drew him out to take a look.

He then learned that Lu Feng's Shop had canceled the limited purchase, and diners could order as many dishes as they wanted in the future.

When he heard the news, the fast-food restaurant boss's heart gave a thump, and he couldn't help but grow worried.

In the past, diners could only order one portion at Lu Feng's place.

Many people couldn't even get full, so they would come to these small shops of theirs to keep eating.

Afterward, Lu Feng's side removed the purchase limit; if diners got full over there, who would still come here to eat?

The bosses of several shops near Lu Family Restaurant shared the same worry as him, gathering together to discuss countermeasures.

However, after pondering for a while, they slowly let their worries go.

They all knew that the prices of those dishes in Lu Feng's shop weren't something ordinary people could casually eat their fill of.

His stuff could easily cost dozens or even hundreds at a time; wanting to eat until full and stuffed there—wouldn't that cost several hundred or even over a thousand?

Even if Lu Feng removed the purchase limit in the future, the diners who could eat and drink their fill there...

Apart from a small portion of people who weren't short of money, how many would be willing to spend?

Ordinary diners would at most order one or two extra dishes compared to before; how could they really eat without restraint?

The fast-food restaurant boss slowly took a sip of tea, looking at the deserted hall, yet his heart remained as calm as ever.

Anyway, he was idle with nothing to do, so he took out his mobile phone, preparing to leisurely watch some TV dramas.

Before he could even open his mobile phone, he heard a burst of footsteps coming from the door.

The fast-food restaurant boss looked up and saw a large crowd swarming in from outside, instantly surrounding the cashier area.

He couldn't help but be stunned, doubting whether he was seeing things wrong.

"Boss! Customers are here!"

The young girl behind the cashier was also confused; this scene came somewhat unexpectedly, and she hurriedly shouted toward the kitchen.

Only then did the fast-food restaurant boss suddenly snap back to his senses, quickly standing up and walking out briskly.
