Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"My god! This tremella soup is really delicious! Li Wei, hurry up and taste it too! The texture is really unique!"

Chen Yao's eyes widened, her face full of a surprised expression as she spoke loudly.

Seeing this, Li Wei also hurriedly picked up a spoon and tasted a mouthful.

He didn't like sweet food, and originally hadn't held much expectation.

But the moment the tremella soup entered his mouth, he was immediately stunned by the flavor.

"Mm! Indeed not bad! The flavor is sour and sweet, very appetizing. This bowl of soup selling for dozens elsewhere wouldn't surprise me at all. This one yuan is really too worth it!"

Li Wei swallowed the tremella soup in his mouth and nodded satisfactorily.

Next, the two of them started picking up spoons and drinking spoonful after spoonful, like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds.

Very quickly, the tremella soup in their two bowls was drunk clean.

"Too delicious! I still want another bowl."

Chen Yao smacked her lips, saying with a face full of reluctance to stop.

"Can't do it. This shop has a rule: each dish can only be ordered once per person."

Li Wei had just finished reading all the content on the price list, which of course included those rules written on the side.

"Ah? Only one portion each time? What a pity."

Chen Yao said somewhat disappointedly, then pursed her lips at Li Wei: "And you didn't even leave your portion for me to drink, you drank it all yourself!"

"Baby, you told me to drink it. And this soup is too delicious, I couldn't hold back for a moment."

Li Wei scratched his head and said with a bitter smile.

"Alright alright, just teasing you. Although there's no more tremella soup, aren't there other things to eat? Coming next time to drink is the same."

Chen Yao said with a smile.

Li Wei nodded, and next the two directly buried their heads and started enjoying the other things on the table.

Just now when the two of them were drinking tremella soup, quite a few people in the hall were paying attention to their side.

Seeing them drink so enthusiastically, those diners who hadn't bought any all showed regretful expressions on their faces.

Tomorrow and the day after, Lu Boss is resting again.

Looks like if they want to drink honey tremella soup, they can only wait until next week to come buy it.

And those still queuing up became competitive one by one.

"Xiao Yun! Is there still honey tremella soup? If so, save me a portion!"

The person in front hadn't finished ordering, but diners behind already started impatiently reserving.

"I want a portion too!"

"Me too, me too!"

"Guys, time to show your gentlemanly manners! Anyway you don't like sweet things, leave some of this honey tremella soup for us girls behind!"

"Who said guys don't like sweet things? I love eating sweet things!"

"Exactly! Other shops' sweets I never eat, but Lu Boss's, I have to taste it no matter what!"

In a moment, honey tremella soup became something everyone must order.

Joking, one yuan a portion, not ordering would be a waste.

Diners holding this thought were not few.

For Lu Feng's shop's other dishes that cost dozens or hundreds, this is simply a conscience price.

At this price, if you don't get a portion, it's simply letting down your own hardship of queuing so long.

"Xiao Yun, one portion honey honey tremella soup, one portion braised beef noodles, and one cage fresh meat xiaolongbao."

At the counter, food blogger Gu Manman smiled as she ordered.

"Okay, please wait a moment, coming right up."

Hu Xiaoyun answered with a face full of smiles, then walked into the kitchen to serve dishes.

Before long, Hu Xiaoyun carried out the dishes Gu Manman ordered, and Gu Manman reached out to take them.

"Xiao Yun, I'll also have a portion honey tremella soup, one portion spicy hot pot, one portion rice, one portion Dongpo pork knuckle."

Behind Gu Manman was Xiao Feilong, looking at Hu Xiaoyun who had just walked out of the kitchen and speaking quickly.

Hu Xiaoyun had just prepared to agree, when Lu Feng poked his head out from the kitchen and suddenly said to everyone: "Sorry, honey tremella soup is sold out."

"Hah? This fast?"

Xiao Feilong froze for a moment, feeling somewhat unwilling in his heart.

The previous person still had some. Watching it about to be his turn, how could it be gone?

"The main ingredient of honey tremella soup, the honey, is used up. If you want to taste it, please come early next time."

Lu Feng smiled and said to Xiao Feilong.

"This sold too fast, right? Not even one portion left?"

Xiao Feilong frowned and asked very unwillingly.

"Yeah! Lu Boss, this honey tremella soup sold out this fast? There are still so many people behind who haven't bought any!"

"Lu Boss! Can't you make some more? We still haven't tasted the flavor!"

The diners queuing behind seeing this, also asked one after another.

The one-yuan-per-portion Honey Tremella Soup newly launched at Lu Feng's shop had already spread to the diners queuing outside, and quite a few people also learned of it through the group chat and were on their way over.

"Sorry, the honey's used up. Come buy again next time when there is some."

Lu Feng spread his hands, indicating there was nothing he could do.

"Then... Boss Lu, will there be some tomorrow... no, next Monday?"

Xiao Feilong frowned and asked.

He had just wanted to ask if there would be any tomorrow, but quickly remembered tomorrow was Saturday, when Lu Feng normally rested, so he changed his question to next Monday.

What Lu Feng had just said was to come buy next time when there was some, not to come buy next Monday.

He felt a vague unease in his heart.

"Next Monday won't have any either."

Lu Feng shook his head and said it quite bluntly and decisively.

"What? Next Monday doesn't have any either? Then which day next week will there be some?"

Xiao Feilong pressed on relentlessly and continued asking.

The diners queuing behind also stopped talking, all quietly watching Lu Feng, waiting for his answer.

Lu Feng lowered his head and was silent for a while, then said: "Which day next week isn't certain; it depends on the bees' mood."

WTF?

What the hell?

Xiao Feilong included the diners behind — all their faces showed a "you're kidding me, right?" expression.

"Heh heh, Boss Lu you're so humorous, but this joke isn't very funny."

A diner behind Xiao Feilong dry-laughed twice and said.

"Boss Lu, stop joking — will there actually be Honey Tremella Soup next Monday or not?"

Xiao Feilong looked at Lu Feng and asked with a dead-serious face.

Thinking of the descriptions of the Honey Tremella Soup's texture he'd just heard from others in the queue, his mouth watered.

Sour and sweet, soft and glutinous yet also crisp — the texture sounded definitely quite good.

"No. Exactly when there will be some depends on the bees' mood."

Lu Feng gave the same answer as just now.

"Boss Lu, are you serious? What do you mean 'depends on the bees' mood'?"

Xiao Feilong felt a bit speechless.

"It's the literal meaning. This is a fact."

Lu Feng replied with a dead-serious face; his expression was very solemn, making one not feel he was joking.
