Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Even if it was exposed afterward and the water army hired by the boss attacked her, Xi Xi felt she had a clear conscience, and she could bear such consequences.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, she took this action.

Xi Xi, standing in line, was lost in recalling something when she was suddenly drawn to the conversation of the two people ahead of her.

"Hey, who do you think won Boss Lu's roast duck today?"

The man standing in front of Xi Xi sighed, his voice tinged with regret: "Too many people came to eat on the first day of this week, right? We didn't even get a chance at the lucky draw this time, what a pity!"

"How would I know if you ask me?"

His companion, asked by him, crossed his arms, his tone filled with deep dissatisfaction: "Before getting off work, I told you to pack up and go downstairs early, but you wouldn't listen, insisting on finishing that broken PPT before turning off the computer! If it weren't for those few minutes you wasted, we might have been near the front today, and maybe we could have won today's roast duck!"

"Hehe, sorry sorry, I'll listen to you next time, isn't it just a matter of preparing early?"

The diner in front of Xi Xi scratched the back of his head, an embarrassed smile on his face.

Then he changed the subject, recalling with an intoxicated expression: "Last week I was fortunate enough to buy a quarter of a roast duck with someone else. You haven't tasted that roast duck's flavor; if I told you, you probably couldn't imagine it. That flavor... simply amazing! Just thinking about it now, I can't help but drool!"

"Damn! You still have the nerve to show off to me?"

Hearing this, his companion immediately widened his eyes, gnashing his teeth and saying angrily: "If it weren't for me helping you ask the manager for leave last time, saying your water pipe burst at home, would you have had the chance to eat that roast duck? I covered for you, and as a result, you kid only cared about enjoying it yourself, didn't you think to bring me a small piece to taste? Wait for it, next time if I win Boss Lu's roast duck, even if you cry and beg me, I'll eat it all by myself, not a single bite for you!"

Hearing this, the diner in front of Xi Xi didn't look panicked at all; instead, he smiled and asked: "Are you sure? Buying a portion of that roast duck alone costs 998 per portion! You're usually so stingy you won't even spend on breakfast, freeloading my steamed buns every day. Are you willing to spend so much money to buy a whole roast duck?"

"Why wouldn't I be willing? Don't underestimate me!"

His companion stiffened his neck, looking like he had truly made up his mind: "Big deal, after eating it, I'll eat instant noodles for the next two weeks! I'll come eat again after I get my salary this month!"

Xi Xi stood behind the two, listening to their conversation, and couldn't help but feel surprised in her heart.

She tried hard to keep her face calm, making her expression look merely curious rather than shocked, and leaned forward slightly, asking softly: "Sirs, sorry to disturb you."

Both turned around at the same time, looking at Xi Xi with puzzled faces.

"I'm from out of town, and it's my first time eating here. Just now I heard you talking about the roast duck, and I'm a bit curious... Is that roast duck you mentioned really 998 each? Is there any membership discount or something?"

While saying this, Xi Xi was frantically roasting them in her heart.

A whole roast duck for 998? The authentic Capital Roast Duck I ate at the Capital Old Brand store last time was only three hundred or so for a whole one.

Is this store's roast duck plated with gold? It actually sells for more than in the Capital!

"Of course it's true!"

The diner in front of Xi Xi immediately nodded, saying with a very affirmative and enthusiastic tone: "Boss Lu's roast duck here has always been this price. If you have a chance to win a roast duck in the future, I strongly recommend you try the taste! Let me put it this way, that flavor will definitely make you want a second one after eating the first, and want a third after eating two!"

"But... isn't this price a bit too expensive?"

Xi Xi really couldn't help it, saying in a small voice: "I'm just a university student who graduated not long ago. The price of this one roast duck is equivalent to half a month of my salary."

"It is indeed expensive, but Boss Lu's culinary skill is absolutely worth it!"

The diner in front of Xi Xi said, shaking his head with a regretful expression: "It's a pity that if you want to eat Boss Lu's roast duck, you still have to win it through a lucky draw based on luck. Otherwise, I really want to come here for one every day!"

His companion also nodded, sighing: "Who says otherwise? Boss Lu's roast duck is much more authentic than elsewhere! It's just that only two are sold a day, which is really too few, not enough to share at all."

Looking at the expressions on these two people's faces, Xi Xi couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious in her heart.

Could these two be the shills hired by the boss? Specifically there to lure new customers into the store to spend money?

However, the tone of these two people's speech sounded quite natural. If they were really shills, their acting skills could probably crush a whole bunch of fresh meat.

Xi Xi couldn't help but lower her head to glance at the live stream scene on her mobile phone, confirming that the Live Stream Room was still running normally, and the determination in her heart became even firmer.

Whether these two were shills or not, she had to taste it today, to see what trick there was in the things made in this store, and why they sold for more than other places!

Even if the things made in this store tasted better than elsewhere, they shouldn't be that expensive, right?

There must be something unreasonable about this!

Xi Xi followed the diners ahead, moving her feet slowly, stopping and starting, for more than half an hour.

Seeing the restaurant gate was right next door, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Phew... finally almost my turn. Is this store's business that booming?"

Xi Xi had originally just been silently reciting it in her heart, but she didn't expect her voice to escape, and she accidentally said it out loud.

"Hahaha! Little sister, it's your first time here, it's totally normal to have that thought!"

The diner in front of Xi Xi turned around and said to her with a smile: "You should be glad. Boss Lu only operates from Monday to Friday here. If Boss Lu also opened on weekends, I estimate there would be even more people lining up to eat than today. If you came half an hour later, I estimate you wouldn't be able to eat!"

Xi Xi couldn't help but be startled in her heart, and quickly glanced at the live stream on her mobile phone. On the surface, she pretended to be calm, and following his words, she asked: "But I heard many people online say the prices here are very expensive? Someone also said... uh... this is a black store, the boss cheats and gouges customers..."

While saying this, she quietly adjusted the angle of the camera lens, so the lens could capture the expressions on the diners' faces.

"Little sister, don't listen to those people online who haven't eaten here talking nonsense!"

The diner shook his head, saying with a tone full of pride: "The dishes at Boss Lu's place, although indeed a bit more expensive than elsewhere, the taste is truly top-notch! Besides, the prices here, eating once or twice a week, ordinary office workers can still afford it."

His companion standing beside him leaned over and added with a smile: "That's right! I dare say Boss Lu's culinary skill, you can't find a second one even if you travel all over Jiangcheng! Last week, my friend from out of town came to Jiangcheng on a business trip, ate at Boss Lu's place once, and I heard that after returning these past few days, he pestered their boss every day, saying he wanted to come to Jiangcheng on a business trip, moving their boss to no end, thinking he worked so hard. Actually, it was just for Boss Lu's food!"
