Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Xiao Feilong answered the fans' questions unhurriedly: "Jia Ren, it's not that the streamer has a poor appetite and buys little, but that this shop has rules—everyone can only buy one portion of steamed buns."

"If not for this restriction, today the streamer would definitely perform eating a whole steamer basket in one bite for you!"

Unexpectedly, the fans in the live stream room all expressed disbelief.

"Are you kidding? Never heard of steamed buns being sold in limited quantities."

"Exactly! I've heard of limited-edition watches and limited-edition cars, but when did steamed buns start being limited?"

"Is this boss an idiot? Limiting one portion per person—how much money can he even make!"

"Streamer, forget these broken rules! Take your gifts, then go buy five more portions!"

——Fan Coffee Without Sugar sent Rockets*5.

——Fan Lonely and Strong sent a Yacht*1.

——Fan Cat Lady sent a Helicopter*1

……

Xiao Feilong explained the purchase limit again and again, but those fans in the live stream room didn't care at all; gift effects filled the screen, all urging the streamer to treat himself to more food.

Xiao Feilong had no choice but to run to Lu Feng's side and plead in a low voice: "Lu Boss, the fans in my live stream room all want me to eat several more portions at your place. Can you……"

"No." Before he could finish, Lu Feng immediately replied.

"I just want to add……"

"Adding one portion isn't allowed either."

"……"

Xiao Feilong stood speechless in place, then helplessly looked at the live stream comments and said: "Jia Ren, look, I really did my best, I really can't add even one portion!"

The live stream comments became lively again.

"Hahaha……You're killing me! It's my first time seeing Xiao Feilong get shut down at a shop!"

"The streamer is almost crying, hahaha……"

"The streamer is being wronged, can't laugh can't laugh, come, comfort him!"

"This boss's personality really suits my taste, supporting one!"

——Fan Feilong in Heaven sent a Rocket*1

——Fan Heart Higher Than the Sky sent a Cruise Ship*1

——Fan Lonely and Strong sent Rockets*2

……

When Xiao Feilong returned to his seat and sat down again, some fans in the live stream room noticed something was off.

Not only them, but several diners sitting not far from Xiao Feilong also noticed.

"Bro, isn't Boss Lu limiting one portion per person? How did you get three?"

Many fans in the live stream room asked the same question.

Xiao Feilong smiled mysteriously, looking like he had a clever plan, and spoke unhurriedly: "Isn't it simple? One person is limited to one portion, so you bring two people along and take their portions—isn't that it?"

"Damn! I always thought the streamer had no brains, but I was totally wrong!"

"The streamer played this one well! This way he really can eat several more portions!"

"For a bite to eat, the streamer really went all out, even using the method of bringing people along!"

"Such a simple method, what's there to make a fuss about? Is it really that hard to think of?"

Xiao Feilong watched the fans' praise and accepted it somewhat guiltily.

It was only so he could eat a few more portions during today's stream that he had unintentionally thought of this method.

If he had known this would work earlier, he wouldn't have had to eat only one portion every day these past few days.

The diners at the neighboring table looked suddenly enlightened, silently calculating in their hearts to bring a few foolish friends along next time.

The fans in the live stream room began to grow curious about the taste of the steamed buns.

"How delicious must these steamed buns be to be sold in limited quantities?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, steamed buns with a purchase limit, and the key is so many people are lining up to buy them!"

"This boss really has personality—other shops wish customers would order more, but at his place you can't even order one extra portion!"

"You don't get it, do you? It shows the boss is very confident in his culinary skill; he pursues making customers eat well, not just making them full!"

"Streamer, hurry and taste it for us—how delicious can this shop's steamed buns be?"

Xiao Feilong chuckled, knowing the fans' curiosity had been stirred.

The online viewer count in the live stream room had now reached 100,000+.

It was time to start tonight's main feature.

Xiao Feilong lifted the three portions of steamed buns in front of him one by one.

As the steamer baskets opened, heat carrying fragrance rushed straight into Xiao Feilong's nasal cavity.

Although he had eaten several times already, this aroma still made him unable to resist.

Xiao Feilong greedily took several deep breaths, then began introducing to the live stream room.

"Jia Ren, you haven't come here to eat, so you can't feel this aroma. Let me put it this way—you smell this fragrance, and you'll feel like you haven't eaten for three days. It's amazing!"

The live stream room also began scrolling with discussion.

"These xiaolongbao—setting aside everything else—they're really good-looking! I give them full marks!"

"This shouldn't be ordinary flour; these steamed buns look snow-white."

"Just looking at them makes me want to eat! They look so delicious!"

"Did you notice? Every steamer of xiaolongbao looks exactly the same, like copy and paste!"

"That's right! This boss's culinary skill is amazing!"

"Just looking at these xiaolongbao that look like works of art, I feel fifty per steamer is cheap!"

"Streamer, start eating already! I've got instant noodles ready, just waiting for you to go with them!"

Xiao Feilong unhurriedly picked up a Fresh Meat Xiaolongbao with chopsticks and held it up to the lens.

"Everyone see? This skin looks as thin as paper; you can pick it up with chopsticks without breaking it, and not a drop of soup leaks out!"

The online friends in the live stream room didn't want to hear his commentary and urged him to eat quickly, with gift effects flashing nonstop in the live stream room.

As Xiao Feilong took a bite, the skin of the xiaolongbao broke open, and the rich soup flowed out instantly.

He hurriedly sucked in several mouthfuls, drawing all the soup that had spilled out into his mouth.

Such delicious soup—even if a single drop were spilled, he couldn't tolerate it.

"This xiaolongbao wrapper is soft yet firm with chew, and there's a faint wheat fragrance when you smell it."

"The filling is fresh, tender, and juicy; the boss chopped this filling very skillfully, and all the seasoning has been absorbed by the filling."

"This soup is rich and fragrant, full of meat fragrance, the more you eat the more you want to eat."

Xiao Feilong savored it while explaining the taste of the xiaolongbao to the fans in the live stream room.

"I feel like I can smell the fragrance through the screen—I'm starving!"

"Don't say anymore, I feel like my stomach is already churning!"

"Brother Feilong, please, give out the address! I'll go there tomorrow to eat!"

"Can I still make it if I go now? Watching the streamer eat makes me feel like I haven't eaten all day!"

Xiao Feilong ate the xiaolongbao while replying: "I'll post another video after the stream ends tonight to tell everyone the address; I reckon everyone won't make it tonight. Let me show you how many people are queuing."

Saying this, Xiao Feilong pointed the lens at the diners queuing in the hall.

From the front desk to the shop door alone, there were no fewer than twenty people queued, not to mention even more diners queuing outside.

"And this shop opens at nine every evening and closes promptly at eleven."

The fans in the live stream room were devastated:

"Only open for two hours a day? And only at night?"

"I just want to eat some xiaolongbao, does it have to be this hard?"

"I was already ready to go out, and you're saying this now? Streamer, are you doing this on purpose? You can't play like this!"
