Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Zhu Chang thought more and more that it was a pity, his mind rapidly calculating.

To avoid this kind of waste, Zhu Chang had an excellent idea.

That is, from now on, the daily roast duck, if drawn by someone.

Can be jointly funded and bought by several people, then everyone splits it to eat together.

The roast duck in Lu Feng's shop, one duck sells for 598.

At this price, even if he himself got lucky and drew the red ball, wanting to buy one to eat alone, he would still feel the pinch for a long while.

The other diners are definitely the same.

Of course, this doesn't include people like Zhao Zhenhui, Qian Laoban, and those other few exaggerated rich folks.

But if several people jointly fund and buy it, the split price is about the same as the other dishes in the shop.

This way, more people can afford to eat it.

The moment this idea popped up, Zhu Chang couldn't help but get a bit excited.

But he immediately thought again, he's just an ordinary webnovel author, his bit of fans basically can't achieve any promotional effect.

In the Lu Boss Business Notice Group, he's also just an ordinary diner; if he spoke in the group, probably not many people would care about his words.

Zhu Chang's gaze scanned the hall, seeing Xiao Feilong and company eating not far away, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

These few are food anchors, their fans are way more than his.

And they're also in the Lu Boss Business Notice Group, many diners know them too.

Having them notify would work way better than him posting.

Having made up his mind, Zhu Chang polished off that plate of Dongpo Pork Knuckle in three moves.

He stood up, wiped his mouth, and walked straight toward Xiao Feilong's table.

Xiao Feilong and the other three sat around the dining table; the plates in front of them had already been swept clean by more than half.

Right now they were eating while discussing today's roast duck made by Lu Feng.

"No way, tomorrow I have to come an hour early!"

Gu Manman clenched her fist, saying with a determined face: "Came late today, didn't even get a chance to queue for the lucky draw; tomorrow no matter what I'm coming early, I must draw Lu Boss's roast duck!"

Zhang Chao heard this, subconsciously glancing at Fang Yuan and her father's table.

The roast duck in front of them had turned into a pile of clean bones by now.

Just now he watched those two eat roast duck while eating his own meal, watching with a face full of envy.

Zhang Chao licked his lips, also nodding firmly.

"Right!"

Gu Manman's eyes suddenly brightened, her gaze carrying a few parts craftiness: "Later when Lu Boss finishes business, if I act cute with him, you think he might soften up and make me another roast duck?"

"I think it'll work!"

Li Wenyi immediately leaned over, tone coaxing: "Manman you're this cute, and a girl, you go act spoiled and cute, maybe Lu Boss will really agree; if you succeed, share a few pieces of roast duck for me to taste!"

"Manman don't listen to Wenyi's random ideas, he's setting you up."

Zhang Chao waved his hand, rolled his eyes at Li Wenyi, then said seriously: "Lu Boss's personality we know well, he won't fall for your act; what if he gets unhappy and stops making roast duck? I advise you to drop this unrealistic idea."

"Makes sense, forget it then."

Gu Manman thought a bit, felt Zhang Chao had a point, sighed and said: "I'll just come early tomorrow to queue for the draw, at least there's a sliver of hope."

Actually she knew this method wouldn't work either; what she said just now was just a joke.

After all, Lu Boss isn't like other shop bosses; he's never threatened by customers.

"You all still eating?"

Just then, Zhu Chang sidled up to the table with a cheeky grin, plopping down next to Xiao Feilong.

Xiao Feilong saw it was Zhu Chang, alarm bells instantly rang in his heart; quick-eyed and fast-handed, he shifted the Red Braised Pork in front of him closer to himself.

Gu Manman and the rest moved in eerie unison with Xiao Feilong, also protecting their own plates.

That posture was just like guarding against thieves.

"Zhu Chang, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Feilong frowned, looking at Zhu Chang warily: "What, you want to come freeload food and drink off us again?"

Their reactions by now have become conditioned reflexes.

Looks like Zhu Chang didn't do this a few times before; he's given them all psychological shadows.

Zhu Chang didn't feel embarrassed at all, just hehe-laughed twice, waved his hand unconcerned: "You guys don't be tense, I already ate my fill today, not here to freeload off you."

"Then what are you here for?"

The wariness in Xiao Feilong's eyes faded some, but he still kept his food-guarding posture, preventing a sudden attack from Zhu Chang.

"Lu Boss's roast duck today, I tasted it for you guys, the flavor is absolutely amazing! People who didn't eat it are really too pitiful."

Zhu Chang smacked his lips, savoring the taste of that roast duck leg just now, saying with a face full of emotion.

"Damn, you came here on purpose to show off, right?"

Xiao Feilong heard this, rolled his eyes in annoyance: "We all saw you eat roast duck just now; didn't draw the duck so you ran over to demand it from someone, you really have no shame."

Words were said like that, but just now when Zhu Chang got the roast duck leg, they were still pretty envious.

At the same time, they admired the thickness of Zhu Chang's face skin in their hearts.

Zhu Chang didn't get angry either; after chuckling twice, he leaned in and said mysteriously, "Just now after I finished the Roast Duck, I suddenly felt that something this delicious being available to only two people every day is a bit of a pity. I have an idea—are you interested in hearing it?"

"What idea? Tell us!"

As soon as he said that, Xiao Feilong and the others all became interested.

Afterward, Zhu Chang told Xiao Feilong and the others his idea of having several people chip in together and share the Roast Duck.

"Look, this way, wouldn't everyone's chances of eating Roast Duck increase greatly?"

Zhu Chang added at the end, "But I have to say, this method isn't that effective coming from me. You few have more fans, so spread the word later and let more people know about this—then it'll be more effective."

After hearing him out, they all stroked their chins, deep in thought.

It had to be said, although Zhu Chang was greedy, he still had some brains.

"I think Zhu Chang's idea is good. It really is hard to snatch Roast Duck when only two people can eat it. This method really can let more people eat it. I think Roast Duck should be shared—that's the most authentic way to eat it!"

Gu Manman nodded with excitement on her face, the first to express agreement.
