Protagonist:
Lu Feng
"Tsk tsk, as expected, this is Boss Lu's usual style."
Zhu Chang finished the last bite of tonight's dinner, put down his chopsticks, shook his head, and said.
He remembered the roast duck from last week.
Back then he was just like Pang Lingling is now, with a sincere expression wanting Lu Feng to make him an extra portion of roast duck, and back then Lu Feng had refused just as decisively.
Zhu Chang wiped his mouth, looking at Pang Lingling's side with an emotional expression and said: "I estimate this girl is going to be blacklisted by Boss Lu; the rules he set absolutely cannot be changed for anyone."
Ma Wenliang also looked at Pang Lingling's side, nodding in full agreement: "I think so too. I used to worry about being blacklisted by Boss Lu, so every time I came to the shop I dared to order at most three dishes. Boss Lu's rules have always been final. I estimate that even if a peerless great beauty stood before Boss Lu right now, he wouldn't change his mind."
The surrounding diners also nodded in agreement one after another.
Someone mentioned that last time he saw a person who looked like a big boss come into the shop, obviously the type who was wealthy and powerful, wanting to pay double to buy an extra portion of Red Braised Pork, later even increasing it to ten times, but Lu Feng still didn't agree.
The voices of the diners discussing fell into Pang Lingling's ears, and only then did she know that this matter had absolutely no hope left.
"Sigh..."
Seeing that there was no hope, Pang Lingling dragged her heavy steps toward the dining table, sighing as she walked.
Her appearance full of resentment and her desolate back view made those who didn't know think she was being abused at Lu Family Restaurant.
But those who knew naturally understood that she was just suffering from having eaten too much.
The surrounding diners saw her pitiful appearance and couldn't help but discuss in low voices.
"Although wasting leftovers is indeed not worth advocating, is it a bit... that right now?"
"This isn't Boss Lu's fault either; he clearly reminded her when she ordered, but this girl is really honest—ordering so much, how could she finish it?"
"Last time I also accidentally ordered too much and almost couldn't finish it; fortunately I finally forced myself to eat it all. Seeing this girl like this now, I really empathize—"
"Back when Boss Lu limited purchases to only one dish here, you all always felt you couldn't eat enough; now you can order more, but you're afraid of being blacklisted for eating too much. People should be content; you can't have it both ways."
"Mainly because the dishes Boss Lu makes are just too delicious; whoever sees them wants to eat more and ignore dietary restrictions, but unfortunately the stomach isn't up to it..."
Hearing the diners' discussion, Pang Lingling felt even worse inside.
But under the current circumstances, she had no other choice.
She could only try returning to the table later and force herself to see if she could eat a bit more.
Or try resting for a while, hoping her stomach could give some strength to digest some of what she had eaten, so she could finish the last few dishes.
Even though things had reached this point, Pang Lingling hadn't thought of just leaving directly.
It wasn't that she was competitive and wanted to complete this Big Stomach King challenge; it was really because Lu Family Restaurant's dishes suited her taste too well.
Every dish brought her a surprise; such an immortal little shop, she was absolutely unwilling to be blacklisted no matter what.
If she couldn't come here to eat anymore in the future, and could never eat such delicious things again, Pang Lingling felt this was simply the cruelest punishment for a Foodie.
Just as she hung her head with a desperate expression, moving her steps with difficulty to return to the table, a flat voice suddenly came from behind the counter.
"If I remember correctly, you ordered the double portion menu, meant for two people, right?"
Lu Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it made the diners discussing in the hall quiet down for a moment.
The next second, they all reacted at once.
Pang Lingling ordered two portions of the menu; she and her boyfriend had ordered them together, but now only Pang Lingling was eating alone.
Although she had grandly declared tonight that she would challenge Boss Lu's double portion menu in the shop and it looked like she failed, the audience in the Live Stream Room had already understood her.
The few dishes she couldn't finish now could completely be eaten by another person!
Wouldn't the problem be solved this way?
For a moment, the diners who reacted first spoke to Pang Lingling all at once.
"Girl, Boss Lu is right! You two came together; he never said you had to finish all these dishes by yourself!"
"Boss Lu is reminding you; have your companion keep eating!"
"There aren't many dishes left, right? If it's a man eating, he can still finish them!"
Pang Lingling suddenly stopped in her tracks, her eyes lighting up instantly, as if she had suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Right right right! Boss Lu, you're absolutely right! Thank you so much, Boss Lu!"
She hurriedly turned around to thank Lu Feng repeatedly, while quickly glancing at her boyfriend who was holding the live streaming equipment right now.
Pang Lingling's boyfriend had just been worried about his girlfriend.
The boyfriend saw Pang Lingling holding her stomach, unable to straighten her waist, and was already extremely anxious in his heart.
He knew that if Pang Lingling forced herself to keep eating, she might have to be sent to the Hospital soon.
No matter how much money the live stream earned, it wasn't as important as her body!
Seeing Pang Lingling's request once again decisively refused by Lu Feng, he really couldn't bear to watch, and was hesitating whether to end the live stream and argue with Lu Feng.
However, Lu Feng's words just now could be called a single sentence that awakens the dreamer, making him understand instantly.
"No problem! Leave the remaining few dishes to me!"
The boyfriend nodded and immediately agreed without hesitation.
While agreeing, he felt some regret in his heart and cursed himself: I was really stupid just now; why didn't I think of this sooner?
Actually, he was already hungry by now.
Today, to queue up at the shop Door before Lu Feng opened for business, the boyfriend had only casually bought a baked pancake at a Xiao Tan in the Food Street, finishing it in two or three bites.
Just now while Pang Lingling was live streaming, he ran back and forth busy serving dishes, running back and forth dozens of times.
Every time he served dishes, he could smell the fragrance wafting from those dishes, and the Glutton in his stomach had already been making a huge fuss.
Watching his girlfriend eat all kinds of delicacies in big mouthfuls before the live-stream Lens, the saliva in his Mouth nearly ran dry; right now he only felt hungry enough to swallow a whole cow.
Just Now he had Only Cared about Worrying over his girlfriend's body, and for a moment it actually hadn't occurred to him that he could help her keep eating.
As for the three dishes Pang Lingling had left, to him they were fundamentally no problem at all.
He alone could completely finish them.
"Great, then those leftover dishes are all up to you!"
Seeing the problem perfectly resolved, Pang Lingling instantly let out a breath of Relief; the resentment on her face just now vanished like smoke, and even her originally bloated and Uncomfortable stomach felt a bit more Comfortable.
