Lu Feng

"Hey, I'll go pick her up in a bit, no rush, let me tell you something first!"

Li Jiang handed over the thermos in his hand: "This is black chicken stewed with mixed mushrooms. Taste it first and see how it is, but just take two sips! This is what I prepared for Su Yue, don't drink it all!"

Lu Feng took the thermos and glanced at it. The barrel was printed with a pale green orchid pattern, looking very elegant and exquisite, clearly carefully selected.

"Black chicken stewed mixed mushrooms? Did you make this yourself?"

Lu Feng raised an eyebrow, looking at Li Jiang in surprise.

Last time at Li Jiang's house, he had clearly only taught him tomato scrambled eggs.

Although this black chicken stewed mixed mushrooms soup wasn't difficult to make, he hadn't taught it himself.

"Of course not!"

Li Jiang puffed out his chest, his tone full of pride: "My mom taught me. To learn this, I didn't go out all day yesterday!"

Lu Feng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth after hearing this.

Last time teaching Li Jiang tomato scrambled eggs, he had wasted quite a few eggs.

This time's black chicken stewed mixed mushrooms probably didn't waste fewer ingredients either.

Lu Feng unscrewed the lid of the thermos, and a faint mushroom fragrance mixed with the fresh aroma of black chicken wafted out.

He glanced inside; the soup color was clear, and the appearance looked more or less normal.

Lu Feng scooped a spoonful with a spoon, blew on it a few times, then took a sip.

"How is it? Is it light and nourishing?"

Lu Feng just

Li Jiang had just walked into the shop and greeted Lu Feng in the kitchen loudly, then said with a surprised face: "Damn! It seems you've made a lot of good things in this shop during the time I haven't been here! This smell is too fragrant!"

"You're here, why so early? Where's the person you brought?"

Lu Feng smiled and walked out of the kitchen, glancing behind Li Jiang. Seeing that he came alone, he asked curiously.

"Haven't gone to pick her up yet. I came first to tell you something!"

Li Jiang handed the thermos he was carrying to Lu Feng: "This is black chicken stewed mixed mushrooms. Taste it and see how it is, just take two sips. This is for my goddess, don't drink it all!"

Lu Feng took the thermos and glanced at it. It was painted with elegant patterns, looking very exquisite.

"Did you make this yourself?"

Lu Feng asked in surprise.

Last time he only taught Li Jiang tomato scrambled eggs; he hadn't taught this black chicken mushroom soup.

"My mom taught me. I learned it for three whole days!"

Li Jiang said somewhat proudly.

Lu Feng nodded, casually opened the thermos lid and took a sip.

"How is it? Is the taste light and nourishing?"

Lu Feng had just taken a sip when Li Jiang asked with an expectant face.

Lu Feng swallowed the soup in his mouth and smacked his lips.

To be honest, with his taste spoiled by the system, this soup indeed tasted rather bland.

Too little salt, the freshness of the black chicken wasn't fully drawn out, and the mushrooms still had a bit of bitterness.

But seeing Li Jiang's expectant eyes, he still smiled and nodded: "It's okay. The taste is a bit light, but it's still edible."

After all, this guy Li Jiang, in the past he was too lazy to even enter the kitchen.

It was rare for him to be this proactive once. Although it was to please a girl, it was still worth encouraging.

"Tsk, you just don't know how to appreciate."

Li Jiang gave Lu Feng a white eye in annoyance, obviously not satisfied with the evaluation of "okay": "You don't understand. This soup is originally about being light and nourishing. If it's too salty, it's not good. Girls all like light soup. Su Yue recently said she has no appetite for food. Drinking this soup is just right... Forget it, forget it, telling you so much is useless. Anyway, this soup isn't for you to drink."

Lu Feng looked at his stubborn appearance and was too lazy to argue with him.

"By the way, you promised me!"

Li Jiang suddenly changed the topic, came over and urged nervously: "In a bit I'll bring Su Yue over. You personally serve this soup, just say it's a nourishing soup from your shop. Don't forget!"

Yesterday on the phone, he had already told Lu Feng once.

This time he came and repeated it again, as if afraid Lu Feng would forget.

"I know, I know. Rest assured."

Lu Feng nodded and agreed very readily.

When Li Jiang told him yesterday, he immediately understood.

He also knew the soup Li Jiang stewed himself didn't taste good enough. If Su Yue tasted it and said it wasn't delicious, he would lose some face.

But if it was said to be made in his own shop, even if the taste was a bit poor, Su Yue would be too embarrassed to say anything.

This guy Li Jiang just wanted to use his hands to let Su Yue taste the soup he made himself.

He and Li Jiang had been brothers for several years. Such a small favor wasn't a big deal to him; he could help with a wave of his hand.

But how exactly to help this favor—Li Jiang had no say in it. It all depended on how he wanted to do it.

Seeing Lu Feng agree readily, Li Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and patted Lu Feng's shoulder with a smile: "Good brother, you're the best! I knew you're the most reliable!"

After saying that, he turned around and hurried out.

No need to ask. Looking at his anxious and hurried appearance, he was naturally going to pick up Su Yue.

"He really is a guy who ditches his friends for a girl."

Lu Feng watched his figure disappear at the Door, then lowered his head to look at the exquisite Thermos, giving Li Jiang a remarkably incisive Evaluation with a Helpless expression.

"Ding-ling-ling——"

The Alarm Clock set in the Mobile Phone rang out.

Lu Feng put on thick Heat-resistant Gloves, walked to the Roast Oven, and took the half-roasted Roast Duck out of the hanging oven.

He Carefully opened the Tail Needle, and the duck's abdomen revealed a small opening.

A breath mixed with the sourness of Green Plum Fruit and the savory fragrance of duck meat wafted out from the small opening.

Smelling this Taste/Flavor, compared to the pure Roast Duck fragrance, it had a few more layers of refreshing complexity.

Roast Duck, this kind of food, actually has a not low fat content; eating it, one will more or less feel some greasiness.

In the past, Roast Duck selected were all free-range ducks from the Jingcheng suburbs, emphasizing three parts lean to seven parts fat.

Ducks roasted like that produced crispy skin and fatty, tender, delicious meat; one bite down was full of rich oil fragrance.

But current diners are not the same as those from the past.

People nowadays pay attention to health when eating; things that are too greasy they instead Dislike.

Some older Jingcheng locals feel that current Roast Duck, although also very Fragrant, doesn't taste as Delicious as before when eaten.

Actually, there is a reason for that too.

Lu Feng still remembers, when he was little, hearing his father say that in the early years, eating Roast Duck was an extremely extravagant affair.

Those able to afford Roast Duck had living conditions a large cut above ordinary people.

Back then, diners needed to reserve ducks three months in advance, pay money, and select a newly hatched duckling.

The money paid was Expensive by a lot compared to now simply buying one Roast Duck's price, because it also Contained the duck's feed costs.
