Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Of course!"

Li Jiang straightened his back and said with a smug look: "My brother's culinary skills are seriously impressive, but this kid hides them well. Even when we worked at the same company before, I didn't notice it. Back then we ate takeout together every day, and now he's opened his own restaurant and is doing better than me."

Whenever Li Jiang talked about Lu Feng's cooking skills, his tone was full of pride he couldn't hide.

Su Yue nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Your brother is really impressive. I heard he's even been on TV! I have a few friends who've eaten here, and they all said the flavor is especially good."

"Sigh, unfortunately during the lucky draw just now I didn't draw today's Roast Duck, otherwise I'd really like to try it with you!"

Li Jiang licked his lips, gazing toward the Roast Oven in the Kitchen, and said with a look of regret.

"It's fine, isn't there something else besides Roast Duck? Coming next time to eat is just the same."

Su Yue looked at Li Jiang's somewhat unwilling face and smiled to comfort him.

"Right, we'll come earlier next time, we'll definitely be able to draw one."

Li Jiang nodded, and Su Yue's smile made the regret in his heart fade quite a bit.

He leaned forward and poked his head out to look at Lu Feng, who was busy in the Kitchen.

Lu Feng wore a white Chef uniform and was skillfully tossing a wok in his hand.

The flames that occasionally flared up illuminated the contours of his profile.

"It's almost our turn."

Li Jiang withdrew his gaze and said softly to Su Yue beside him: "My brother's culinary skills are beyond compare, it's just that his temper is a bit strange. He doesn't like being disturbed when he's cooking. Next time I'll properly introduce you two."

When he said this, he was somewhat selfish.

His relationship with Su Yue had only been confirmed for less than half a month.

Back in high school, Li Jiang had secretly loved Su Yue for over two years, and until graduation he never had the courage to confess to her.

Now they had finally reconnected through a blind date, and during this time their relationship had been going very smoothly.

But after all, their relationship wasn't set in stone yet, so he didn't dare take the risk of introducing Lu Feng to Su Yue before then.

This wasn't because Li Jiang didn't trust Lu Feng's character.

It was simply because Lu Feng himself was too likable.

Back when they worked at the same company, Lu Feng was popular because he was sunny and handsome, and had a gentle temper.

The young ladies at the company always found excuses to run to Lu Feng's department every few days.

But back then Lu Feng was busy with work all day, and they didn't see him getting close with any girl.

Lu Feng himself might not have noticed this, but Li Jiang, as an onlooker, saw it all very clearly.

Now that Lu Feng had opened a restaurant, his fame grew larger and larger.

A few days ago Li Jiang was scrolling through Lu Feng's food short videos and saw in the comment section below that quite a few girls were lining up saying they wanted to be his girlfriend.

Thinking about it, it was understandable.

Guys who can cook are already not many.

Someone like Lu Feng who cooks this well is even rarer than giant pandas.

Plus he's handsome and runs the hottest shop on Food Street.

Most importantly, many netizens who've eaten Lu Feng's food say that after eating his dishes for a long time, their weight doesn't increase at all.

For girls, this was simply hitting right in their hearts.

If they could become Lu Feng's girlfriend, they could satisfy their cravings without worrying about weight.

This was simply the perfect dream lover for girls.

"Sigh... this kid's charm is now greater than mine, it's really worrying."

Li Jiang secretly glanced at Su Yue beside him and muttered to himself in his heart.

Guard against fire, guard against theft, you also have to guard against brothers.

I finally met someone I like, I can't let my brother steal her halfway.

"Li Jiang, what are you spacing out for? It's our turn."

Su Yue's voice made Li Jiang snap back to his senses.

He then realized that he and Su Yue were already standing in front of the Counter.

"Sorry sorry, I was just zoning out."

Li Jiang scratched his head, then pointed at the Price List on the wall and said very generously: "The dishes at my brother's place are all super delicious, Su Yue, order whatever you want to eat!"

Su Yue looked at the wall twice, turned her gaze to Li Jiang, smiled and said: "It's my first time here, and I don't know what to eat. Since this is your brother's shop, you must be more familiar with it than me, so you order. I can eat anything."

"Alright, I'll take care of it!"

Li Jiang nodded and happily agreed.

Before coming this time, he had done his homework and knew that Lu Feng had canceled the Limited Purchase rule here.

Now he could eat his fill at Lu Feng's shop!

Li Jiang puffed out his chest, his gaze sweeping over the Price List on the wall, speaking as fast as pouring beans: "One portion of Red Braised Pork, with skin! Another portion of Lion's Head, hmm... remember to have Fengzi pour more Braised Sauce later! Two Tea Eggs, pick the big ones! Hmm? And Dongpo Pork Knuckle? One portion of that too!"

Hu Xiaoyun nodded with a smile and was about to operate on the computer.

Unexpectedly she heard Li Jiang continue: "One bowl of Braised Beef Noodles, and two portions of Xiaolongbao, one portion of fresh meat, and another portion of crab roe. Right, and that Rose Fragrant Dew Rice, is that rice? Two portions!"

Su Yue stood to the side, the more she listened the more surprised she became.

Li Jiang had ordered this many dishes, enough for three or four people.

"Li Jiang, we're two people, after all..."

She couldn't help but lightly tug at Li Jiang's sleeve, reminding him in a low voice.

Li Jiang turned to look at Su Yue, as if suddenly thinking of something, and slapped his head.

"Oh right, right, right! And yours too."

Saying this, he turned again to Hu Xiaoyun and said: "Another bowl of Clear Soup Noodles!"

As soon as these words were spoken, both Su Yue and Hu Xiaoyun were stunned in place.

Good grief, just now you ordered that huge pile of dishes, so they're all for you alone to eat?

Su Yue's mouth twitched involuntarily, silently calculating in her heart.

The things Li Jiang ordered himself—even if he brought two friends, three people couldn't finish them.

Yet they were all Li Jiang's own portion?

During this time traveling with Li Jiang, she hadn't realized he could eat so much!

Hu Xiaoyun's finger, which had been preparing to order, paused; after hesitating for a few seconds, she reminded in a low voice: "That... Brother Jiang, the shop has a rule that food cannot be wasted; if you order this much and can't finish it..."

She knew the person before her was the boss's good brother; when Li Jiang came to the shop before, she had seen him a few times.

But the rules set by the boss could not be broken; even if they were brothers, they still had to follow the shop's rules.
