Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Pang Lingling's boyfriend had long been holding the next dish, waiting at Yi Pang; hearing her voice, he immediately brought it over.

Served this time were two portions of Yangchun Noodles, also the last two dishes Pang Lingling had just promised her fans.

Pang Lingling picked up chopsticks, lifted a chopsticks of noodles, and slurped them into her mouth.

The noodles were chewy and smooth, and even the noodle soup was exceptionally fresh and fragrant.

In no time at all, she had finished both portions of Yangchun Noodles, soup and noodles alike, down to the last drop.

This time, Pang Lingling felt she was truly stuffed.

She held the table and slowly stood up, gently rubbing her stomach, which felt uncomfortably full.

After resting for a good while, she sat down again, a relieved smile on her face, saying: "Jia Ren, I've finished the last two portions I promised you all; this time I really can't eat another bite!"

A flood of comments like "Streamer, you've worked hard" instantly popped up on the Bullet Screen.

Yet mixed among these remarks were a few somewhat urgent messages.

Muscle Is Justice: "Streamer, wait a moment! Lu Boss's shop has rules—ordered dishes must all be finished, otherwise you'll be put on the shop's blacklist and never served again!"

Muscle Is Justice: "Streamer, prepare yourself mentally; you can't finish those dishes you ordered behind this, can you? This might be your last meal at Lu Boss's shop!"

Pang Lingling touched her already bloated Du Chong; the reminder from "Muscle Is Justice" in the Live Stream Room kept scrolling, reminding her of Lu Feng's shop rule against leaving food.

Yet her face showed not a hint of panic; instead, she smiled at the Lens and said confidently: "Thanks for the reminder, Muscle Steamed Bun! But don't worry, everyone—I did my homework before coming to Lu Boss's shop this time; I know all the rules of Lu Boss's shop. Although I can't eat the dishes behind, I still have a good idea, and Lu Boss will definitely agree!"

As she spoke, she held the table and slowly stood up, walking leisurely toward the Counter Side.

Her boyfriend beside her quickly picked up the live-streaming equipment on the table and followed; the Lens followed Pang Lingling to the Counter as well.

"Miss Waiter/Staff, could you please call your Boss for me?"

Pang Lingling moved to the Counter Side and smiled at Hu Xiaoyun, who was still taking orders from customers, saying.

Hu Xiaoyun saw that she had been holding her waist while walking just now, her steps cautious, and immediately understood: this customer was clearly stuffed, probably worried about being blacklisted by the Boss, wanting to negotiate with the Boss.

The rule in the shop that you'd be blacklisted if you couldn't finish your food had never had an exception from the Boss.

So far, the only person blacklisted by the Boss was a customer named Cheng Fan from two weeks ago.

He claimed to be a Disciple of the State Banquet Chef, quite a background.

But even someone like him never came to the shop again after being blacklisted by the Boss.

There was no way around it; the rules set by the Boss were always like this, with no room for negotiation.

But looking at Pang Lingling's current state, if she forced herself to keep eating, she might end up being carried away by an ambulance.

Hu Xiaoyun dared not delay, nodding and saying: "Alright, please wait a moment; I'll call him out right away."

After speaking, she turned and quickly walked into the Kitchen, calling out Lu Feng, who was cooking.

"Lu Boss, can I discuss something with you?"

Seeing Lu Feng walk out of the Kitchen, Pang Lingling immediately pressed her palms together before her chest, looking at him pleadingly: "The dishes you serve me afterward—make each portion smaller, just a bite's worth; I've eaten too much, I can't eat anymore."

She felt her request was very reasonable and was confident Lu Feng wouldn't refuse her.

After all, she wasn't saying she wouldn't eat the dishes behind at all—just asking Lu Feng to make less, each portion just a bite.

That way, she could still finish the double-person menu she ordered this time, so it wouldn't count as breaking Lu Feng's shop rules.

Besides, Lu Feng making smaller portions would also save him costs.

This request could be said to be not excessive at all.

What's more, she was a girl, and she was acting cute begging him; as long as Lu Feng wasn't unfeeling, he would definitely agree.

The viewers in the Live Stream Room also saw through Pang Lingling's little scheme and chimed in on the Bullet Screen.

"The streamer is acting cute again; this Boss probably won't refuse, right?"

"He'll definitely agree; it's just asking him to make less, the Boss won't lose out."

"Exactly, exactly, just make a bite's worth, Boss, be flexible!"

At this moment, the diners in Lu Family Restaurant, including Hu Xiaoyun, all felt that Pang Lingling's request was something Lu Feng could completely agree to.

But the next second—

"No."

Lu Feng, to everyone's surprise, directly shook his head without hesitation and refused.

These two words made Pang Lingling's smile freeze instantly; then she asked with a wronged expression: "Ah? Why, Lu Boss? It's just asking you to make less; it's not a loss for you, is it?"

Lu Feng's refusal attracted the attention of other diners in the Hall, who all turned their heads toward the Counter Side.

Someone couldn't help but whisper: "Lu Boss, be a little flexible, will you? This girl looks so stuffed she can't even walk."

Lu Feng paid no attention to the others' discussion; his gaze fell on Pang Lingling's face, his tone still serious: "For you, finishing ordered dishes is a rule you must follow; but for me, the portion of every dish must match your price—even if it's one bite less, that's me shortchanging the customer, that's me breaking my own rules."

"You already paid the full price when ordering, so no portion of any dish can be less."

"Since you already paid the full price, the portion of the dishes cannot be less."

In Lu Feng's view, since Pang Lingling had paid the same price as other diners, every dish's portion should be the same as other diners'.

Regarding cooking, he had always followed three rules.

Fair, fair, and still TMD fair.

After all, Lu Feng wasn't a profiteer; he wasn't a Boss who would cut corners on dish portions.

If he did that, he'd be letting down the prices he set.

"It's all right, Lu Boss, this has nothing to do with you; this is my own request."

Pang Lingling hurriedly shook her head, her expression serious as she said this was voluntary on her part.

However, Lu Feng's attitude remained difficult: "Sorry, this is the rule."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to return to the kitchen to continue cooking; before leaving, he said softly to Hu Xiaoyun: "Go get her a cup of Mountain Spring Water from the shop."

"Boss Lu, don't go! I really can't eat anymore!"

Pang Lingling wore a gloomy expression, wailing at Lu Feng's back.
