Protagonist:
Lu Feng
Hu Xiaoyun's gaze swept over the three new dish names added to the wall, finally settling on "Stir-fried Asparagus Lettuce."
Her brow furrowed slightly, her eyes as if recalling something.
The name Lu Hao looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a moment.
Only when the scene of the field ridges by her hometown flashed through her mind did she suddenly have an impression.
Hu Xiaoyun was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected to encounter something common from her childhood in the Boss's shop.
But immediately, a bit of doubt arose in her heart: she had often seen this thing when she was young, but had never seen anyone eat it.
Upholding the good habit of diligent study and asking questions, Hu Xiaoyun tentatively called out to Lu Feng, who was still busy in the Kitchen: "Boss, this Lu Hao... seems to be something very common in our hometown, I don't know if I'm right."
Lu Feng poked his head out from the Kitchen and glanced at Hu Xiaoyun: "Is your hometown Jinling?"
"Yes, I grew up there with my grandfather when I was young, and later my parents came to Jiangcheng to work, so they brought my grandfather and me over."
Hu Xiaoyun nodded and answered truthfully.
"I see, then your guess is correct; this thing is indeed more common in the countryside, people from your place should call it Jinling Grass."
Lu Feng smiled and said.
"I said the name looked familiar, indeed it is."
Hu Xiaoyun nodded, then asked very surprisedly: "But I remember this thing is grass; when I played at home as a child, this thing was everywhere by the field ridges and ditches; people from our place cut it to feed... feed rabbits, how can it be stir-fried as a dish?"
She originally wanted to say this thing was used by people from her hometown to feed pigs, but thinking that the Boss still had to make this dish, she very cleverly changed it to the saying of feeding rabbits, which sounded nicer.
However tactfully said, Hu Xiaoyun had never thought before that this thing could be stir-fried to eat.
Lu Feng continued to busy himself with the work in his hands, kneading dough while explaining: "Relieved, it's edible; it is indeed a herbaceous plant; people in the past didn't know this thing could be stir-fried, they all fed it to livestock, but now someone knows this thing can be eaten; there are many people eating this in Nanfang, stir-fried plain or cold-tossed are both delicious."
Hu Xiaoyun, after hearing, showed an embarrassed smile on her face: "So it's like this; it seems I missed out on a good thing when I was young; this thing grew everywhere in our hometown back then."
"After work tonight I'll stir-fry a portion for you; you'll know once you taste it."
Lu Feng smiled and said.
Hu Xiaoyun nodded and didn't ask anything more.
Now she had absolute trust in Boss Lu Feng; she felt the Boss not only had good culinary skill but also understood many ways of ingredients.
Since the Boss said this thing could be eaten, then this Lu Hao must be edible.
And after the Boss's processing, it would definitely be another astonishing delicacy.
…………
Half an hour quickly passed, and it was six in the evening again, the time Lu Family Restaurant began business.
As Hu Xiaoyun announced the start of business today, the diners queuing at the Door entered the Hall one after another, laughing and talking.
The few diners at the front of the queue basically didn't notice that several new dishes had been added to today's Price List.
For three consecutive days this week Lu Family Restaurant had no new dishes, and some people had already tacitly accepted that Lu Feng wouldn't put out new dishes this week.
The diners in front had already gotten used to not looking at the menu on the wall; as soon as they entered, they directly ordered what they usually ate.
Actually, before business started tonight, Hu Xiaoyun had specially asked Lu Feng: "Boss, three new dishes are on the menu today; the customers will definitely be happy if they know; should I tell them when they order?"
Lu Feng lowered his head to think for a moment, then shook his head: "No need to specially recommend; those who want to eat new dishes will naturally notice."
He had never had the habit of actively promoting before.
The few times before he had Hu Xiaoyun recommend new dishes to customers were also to let them discover the new dishes early, so as to complete the System Task of selling specified dishes set by the system every week.
Since this System Task is not linked to the sales quantity of dishes in the shop, Lu Feng felt there was no need to deliberately guide customers to order anymore.
He still hoped customers could freely choose according to their own tastes; those who liked the old dishes would order the old dishes, those who wanted to try fresh would order the new dishes; only then would customers be at ease.
Hu Xiaoyun nodded and agreed after hearing, so she didn't actively recommend to those customers who had just ordered, but waited to respond when someone asked.
After the few customers in front finished ordering, the queue quickly reached Zhu Chang.
Hu Xiaoyun was just preparing to ask him what he wanted to order today, but Zhu Chang spoke first, asking with a face full of anticipation: "Xiao Yun, did Boss Lu make new dishes today? It's the fourth day of this week; Boss Lu wouldn't be slacking off, right?"
As one of Lu Feng's fanatical fans of food, Zhu Chang had to ask this sentence almost every day before ordering this week.
Even if the answer in the past few days was "no new dishes," he still persisted in doing so.
"Big Brother Zhu, you've finally waited today; the Boss put out three new dishes today, all written on the wall!"
Hu Xiaoyun saw his appearance, smiled and nodded, pointing to the Price List on the wall and said.
Zhu Chang, upon hearing, his eyes lit up instantly, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the Price List on the wall.
Indeed, he saw the three newly added dish names at the end of the Price List, and immediately said with a face full of surprise: "Yo! The names of these new dishes all look like Nanfang dishes! And there are three! Boss Lu is impressive this time!"
Speaking, he also turned back and shouted to the customers behind: "Hey! You guys look quickly! Boss Lu put out three new dishes today!"
His shout made the originally quiet queue become lively all at once; the customers behind all craned their necks to look at the Price List on the wall.
Even the customers who had already ordered and were sitting in the Hall eating couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the Price List twice.
"Big Brother Zhu, what do you want to eat today?"
Hu Xiaoyun looked at the excited Zhu Chang and asked with a smile.
Zhu Chang, upon hearing, was just about to say "Give me one portion of all three new dishes," but immediately thought of the prices behind these three dishes he had just seen, and hesitated.
He secretly touched the Mobile Phone in his Pocket, thought of the balance on his Bank Card, and sighed silently.
Less than half of this month had passed, and his Living Expenses had already been spent a bit over budget eating at Lu Feng's shop.
Last week, every time he came to the shop, he would order two extra dishes, not considering the feelings of his wallet at all.
If he continued eating like last week, the balance in his Bank Card wouldn't last until the time his manuscript fee was issued next month.
