Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"I know I know, Fengzi will blacklist me, right?"

Li Jiang laughed after hearing that, waving his hand carelessly: "I already know the rules in Fengzi's shop. Don't worry, these look like a lot, but I can definitely finish them all! I haven't eaten anything since last night just to come here and eat, I can definitely hold it!"

Seeing him speak so confidently, Hu Xiaoyun couldn't say much more and could only nod: "Okay, both of you wait a moment, I'll place your order right away."

She operated quickly on the computer, and after printing out the order, she checked it again with Li Jiang, feeling uneasy.

After confirming there were no errors, she took the order slip and quickly walked into the kitchen.

"Fengzi, hurry up with the food! Neither of us ate this morning, we're starving by now."

After paying, Li Jiang shouted loudly toward the kitchen.

Lu Feng in the kitchen had already heard Li Jiang's loud voice outside.

When Li Jiang was ordering, he turned his head and glanced outside, sizing up Su Yue beside Li Jiang.

Seeing Su Yue's every move, she exuded a generous and poised air, looking not at all reserved.

Li Jiang was actually not bad looking either; standing together with Su Yue, the two seemed quite well-matched.

"Hmm, not bad. This girl has a delicate appearance and seems to have a gentle personality. Jiangzi's luck isn't bad this time."

After finishing his assessment, Lu Feng withdrew his gaze and silently made his evaluation in his heart.

After taking the order slip from Hu Xiaoyun's hand, he continued to focus on cooking.

Hu Xiaoyun came out of the kitchen and stood before the counter, looking at Li Jiang and smiling: "Brother Jiang, the dishes you ordered are a bit many. The Boss is already making them, and it'll probably take a short wait. Why don't you find a seat and rest for a while? I'll call you as soon as they're ready."

Li Jiang nodded, took Su Yue's hand, walked into the hall, found an empty table, and sat down.

"I didn't expect you to be able to eat so much. I didn't even notice when we were traveling outside a few days ago."

Su Yue had just sat down when she couldn't help but smile and say to Li Jiang.

Li Jiang scratched his head and smiled a bit embarrassedly: "Because it's my brother's cooking skills. Compared to what we ate before, what he makes is far better. I haven't come to eat here for a while, so this time I must make up for it!"

"The prices at your brother's place... seem quite expensive, right?"

Su Yue's gaze swept over the price list on the wall, her brow slightly furrowed, and she said softly to Li Jiang.

Just now, Li Jiang ordered those dishes all at once; she silently calculated in her heart that it was almost a thousand yuan.

Su Yue's family was an ordinary salaried household; usually, their whole family eating at a Fan Guan cost only two or three hundred yuan.

Today, this meal with Li Jiang was almost half a month of her living expenses.

Although Li Jiang was paying, and most of the dishes were what Li Jiang wanted to eat.

But Su Yue, who was always thrifty, still couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache.

"Expensive? I feel it's okay..."

After Li Jiang's family was relocated due to demolition, their living conditions improved a lot, and he had gotten used to spending money freely.

As for the prices in Lu Feng's shop, he felt they weren't expensive.

But seeing Su Yue's pained expression, he quickly sat up straight and explained seriously: "But the dishes Fengzi makes absolutely crush those big restaurants outside! You can't eat such delicious flavors anywhere outside! This price is absolutely worth it; you'll know once you taste it later."

"Mm, I've heard you say it many times already. I believe you."

Seeing him speak so seriously, Su Yue smiled and nodded.

"Hello, can I join your table?"

Just then, a long-haired girl wearing glasses, holding a tray, stood before Li Jiang and Su Yue's table, looking somewhat embarrassedly at the two: "In the hall... there seem to be no empty seats."

After hearing that, Li Jiang glanced at the long-haired girl, then scanned the hall.

At this moment, every table in the hall was occupied by diners who were either eating or waiting for food.

Since Lu Feng canceled the purchase limit, diners couldn't help but order one or two extra dishes when ordering.

Previously, after diners paid, they would wait a short while by the line and soon get their food.

Now the speed of getting food has slowed a bit, and the waiting time has also lengthened.

Originally, diners had already stood for a long time waiting for Lu Feng to open for business.

Now that there are seats in the hall, many people are no longer willing to keep standing and waiting; they simply order and then find a seat to sit and wait slowly.

The long-haired girl only ordered one portion of soup noodles and didn't go to occupy a seat in advance.

When she got her food and came into the hall to look, there were no empty tables left by now.

A few tables weren't full of people, but those sitting were all men, and she didn't want to eat with strange men.

At least there was a girl, Su Yue, at Li Jiang's table, so she brought her tray here.

"Of course you can, hurry and sit!"

Before Li Jiang could speak, Su Yue had already smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Miss!"

The long-haired girl hurriedly thanked her, then put the tray in her hand on the table and sat opposite Su Yue.

Li Jiang silently sighed in his heart.

Actually, he felt somewhat unclear in his heart.

Just now sitting alone with Su Yue counted as being alone together.

Now suddenly someone came to share the table, and he always felt a bit uncomfortable.

But Su Yue had already agreed to the other person, and he couldn't speak up to chase this girl away again, so he didn't say anything.

Suddenly a stranger appeared at the table; originally Li Jiang and Su Yue could still chat a few sentences, but now they fell silent for a while.

The long-haired girl occasionally lifted her head, her gaze swiftly glancing at the two people opposite.

Seeing that neither of them was speaking at the moment, she thought the two of them were in that kind of more-than-friends, less-than-lovers relationship.

However, she merely looked over curiously, then her attention was quickly hooked by the aroma of the noodle soup before her, and she ate in small bites on her own.

Li Jiang sat beside Su Yue, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at Su Yue.

"Right, when the dishes come up later, you drink a mouthful of soup first."

Li Jiang lowered his voice; he didn't want other people to hear his words: "That soup was simmered for a long time by my brother, it's a specially made tonic soup for you. Weren't you staying up late for several days straight rushing a proposal recently? It's just right to replenish your body."

When he said these words, the expression on his face was somewhat unnatural.

Wanting Su Yue to drink the soup first later, he had a bit of a petty scheme in his heart.

Lu Feng's culinary skill he knew too well; no matter what he made, the taste was all far better than the soup he himself stewed.

If later Su Yue ate Lu Feng's dishes first, then drank his own stewed soup.

With the flavors compared like that, wouldn't his stewed soup be pretty much like plain boiled water?

But if she drank the soup first, without the flavor comparison, that feeling wouldn't arise.

She might even feel the taste wasn't bad.
