Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"You old brat, when did I push you?"

Xu Shao Ying stared at him with a stiff face, annoyed: "It's clearly you who's craving it badly, yet you blame others? Old Liu, what's the rush? Stand there and queue properly; Xiao Lu will be open for business soon enough, he won't stop you from eating."

Laughter instantly erupted in the queue, and the atmosphere turned lively.

The roast duck fragrance in the air, with the roast oven's continuous roasting, grew richer and richer.

That alluring meat fragrance after the duck fat melted, thread by thread, drilled into every diner's nose.

The diners waiting in the queue, suffering unbearably, smelling this tempting aroma, made "slurp slurp" swallowing sounds one after another.

"Gurgle gurgle……"

In the middle of the queue, someone's stomach could no longer hold back and let out a loud protest.

"Teacher An Liang, your stomach……"

Xiao Yue leaned close to An Liang and said softly.

On An Liang's usually indifferent face, a few traces of unnatural embarrassment now appeared.

Xiao Yue looked at this somewhat comical expression and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Cough cough, I ate a bit too little this morning, so I'm a bit hungry now."

An Liang cleared his throat, trying hard to hide the embarrassment on his face, his tone unavoidably carrying a hint of complaint: "This Lu Boss really, making so many people wait hungry for him; if I were writing a review, this point would definitely have to be recorded."

Xiao Yue secretly stuck out her tongue, but in her heart she knew clearly.

Although An Liang complained verbally, the anticipation in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

However, seeing him so embarrassed now, Xiao Yue very sensibly didn't continue the topic.

"Sigh…… this fragrance makes me feel like I'm starving to death, I feel like I could eat a whole cow right now!"

Zhu Chang at the front of the queue rubbed his rumbling stomach and said with a sigh.

The young man standing behind Zhu Chang kept swallowing saliva, craning his neck trying to look into the shop: "How much longer? I feel if I smell this a bit longer, my saliva could flood the entire Food Street!"

"Don't rush, soon. Look over there."

Grandpa Qin in the queue spoke with a laugh, his gaze falling on the distant street corner.

Everyone followed his line of sight and saw Hu Xiaoyun carrying a basket of fresh vegetables, walking briskly toward this side.

Seeing her figure, the diners in the queue all breathed a sigh of relief.

Old customers familiar with Lu Feng's shop rules all knew: Hu Xiaoyun's arrival meant business hours weren't far off.

Hu Xiaoyun had just reached the shop entrance when she was enveloped by that rich roast duck fragrance.

She couldn't help taking a deep breath and impatiently walked into the shop.

"Boss, I'm here!"

Hu Xiaoyun set down the bamboo basket and called out cheerfully toward the kitchen.

Not bothering to rest a moment, she quickly ran to the kitchen entrance, poking her head in to look.

In the kitchen, Lu Feng was standing before the roast oven, holding a roasting hook, carefully adjusting the angle of the roast ducks inside the oven.

The roast ducks in the oven gleamed with bright oil on their skin, making Hu Xiaoyun's eyes light up.

"Boss, today's new dish is roast duck?"

She stared at the roast ducks in the oven, unable to tear her gaze away, excitement in her voice: "This color looks too good! The smell is fragrant too!"

Lu Feng stopped his movements, turned his head and smiled at her: "Mm, later help me write it on the price list."

Then he pointed at the small box on the counter: "After writing the price list, take that out there and let the outside diners draw lots; I'll explain the rules to you in detail later."

Only then did Hu Xiaoyun notice a white small box placed on the counter.

She walked over, picked it up and shook it lightly; a "rattle rattle" sound immediately came from inside.

"Okay, Boss!"

Hu Xiaoyun nodded and looked at the wall clock.

Less than twenty minutes remained until the 1 PM business hours.

She hurriedly fished out a brush and ink from under the counter and quickly walked to the price list by the hall wall.

Following the pencil traces Lu Feng had written beforehand, she wrote stroke by stroke.

…………

The diners outside the door had by now long been tortured by the roast duck fragrance in the air until they could barely stand it.

Footsteps came from the shop gate, and Hu Xiaoyun walked out from inside the shop.

The moment she walked out, the diners' gazes were drawn to the lucky draw box in her hand.

A fist-sized round hole was cut in the top of that box, just big enough for a hand to reach through.

It looked exactly like those lucky draw boxes seen in supermarkets.

"Xiao Yun, what's this for?"

Zhu Chang at the front of the queue stared fixedly at the lucky draw box in Hu Xiaoyun's hand and asked curiously.

As an old customer of Lu Family Restaurant, he knew Lu Feng's temperament best.

This lucky draw box definitely had a big connection to the food in his shop.

Hu Xiaoyun smiled and said clearly: "Brother Zhu, this is a lucky draw box. Boss just said today's new dish is roast duck, but only two are provided each day; only those who draw a red ping pong ball can buy."

"What? Only two?"

Zhu Chang's voice instantly rose a few degrees, his face grumbling with some dissatisfaction: "Lu Boss, isn't this too much of a rip-off? You only make two Roast Ducks a day, isn't that too few? Can't you make a few more? With so many people, how can two be enough to eat?"

The surrounding diners also chimed in one after another.

They had smelled the Fragrance outside the door for a long time, their appetites had long been hooked.

But now they were told only two people could buy this Roast Duck, and instantly they felt the world was unfriendly.

"Everyone don't Hurry, because Ingredients are limited, only two can be made a day, so everyone needs to Lucky Draw."

Hu Xiaoyun's face showed a Bitter smile, patiently explaining.

Just Now hearing Boss say it like this, her Reaction was about the same as these diners'.

"Lu Boss is really too unscrupulous, a duck only has that little meat, right now my Du Chong is hungry to the point of front chest sticking to back back, One Person could eat two ducks clean..."

Zhu Chang said with a pained expression.

Waited half a day, this Roast Duck's Aroma had long since aroused the Glutton in his Du Chong.

With this Lucky Draw rule out, whether he himself could eat Roast Duck today was uncertain.

"Brother Zhu, no choice, I know your appetite is good, but Roast Duck only has two, everyone also wants to eat, Boss's Roast Duck Taste/Flavor, compared to other Shop Inside's, is also not ordinary, you Smell this Aroma and should understand."

Hu Xiaoyun sniffed the Aroma in the air, saying with deep feeling.

Zhu Chang smacked his lips, he quite agreed with these words.

He also counts as a senior Foodie who has eaten through Jiangcheng's streets and alleys, Lu Feng's Culinary Skill is the best he has ever seen.

"Alright alright, since it's Lu Boss's rules, then Lucky Draw it is, how many times can one draw a day?"

Zhu Chang knew, rules set by Lu Feng, without special circumstances, are impossible to change.

More complaints are useless, better to think about how to eat Roast Duck.
