Lu Feng

"Look all you want, this shop doesn't look that high-end either, I just don't believe..."

As Liao Tong spoke, he turned his head to look at the price list on the wall; after a single glance at the prices above, he froze instantly.

After looking at the prices on the price list, his impression of this little shop instantly wasn't that good anymore.

The prices on this price list made him feel that either the shop's boss had written the prices wrong, or he was a black-hearted sort.

Liao Tong's hometown was in Jinling; the dishes on the price list like Stir-fried Asparagus Lettuce and Fengwei Shrimp weren't unfamiliar to him.

But asparagus lettuce, in their hometown, counted as a home-style dish in restaurants.

Whenever spring arrived, the vegetable market would sell it bundle by bundle; a few yuan could buy a huge handful.

But now, this Stir-fried Asparagus Lettuce in Jiangcheng, this small city, could actually sell for 108 a portion?

This shocked him.

It was the first time he had seen Stir-fried Asparagus Lettuce this expensive; calling it a sky-high price wasn't an exaggeration.

"Hey, is the 108 a portion for the stir-fry on this serious?"

Liao Tong pointed at the price list on the wall, his voice involuntarily rising a bit, drawing sidelong glances from some diners in the hall.

He looked left and right, couldn't help lowering his voice and said in Zhang Xianyang's ear: "This stuff isn't even sold this expensively in our hometown? Did the boss mark the price wrong or..."

"Boss Lu's place is just this price, you get what you pay for, you'll know once you eat it."

Zhang Xianyang looked along the direction of his finger, saw he was pointing at Stir-fried Asparagus Lettuce, and his heart secretly let out a breath of relief instead.

Although the price of 108 for Stir-fried Asparagus Lettuce wasn't cheap, it was still within his budget range for this month.

He looked at the dish name Stir-fried Asparagus Lettuce written on the wall, nodded his head with a generous air: "You want to eat this right? Fine, one bowl of Yangchun Noodles plus one portion of Stir-fried Asparagus Lettuce, this meal's on me!"

"Wait, who said I want to eat this?"

Liao Tong immediately waved his hand, eyes scanning the price list twice, finally pointing at the Fengwei Shrimp line: "I want to eat this, Fengwei Shrimp! I'll taste whether the boss makes authentic Jinling flavor."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Xianyang looked at the 588 a portion price behind Fengwei Shrimp, and his scalp went numb instantly.

He couldn't help staring wide-eyed, the corner of his mouth twitching, looking at Liao Tong with a pained expression and saying loudly: "Liao Tong, you still say you won't fleece me? This Fengwei Shrimp is 588 a portion, you're going to eat me into poverty!"

His salary for this month hadn't been paid yet; eating at Lu Feng's shop every day, his living expenses for this month were already running very low.

Actually Zhang Xianyang's monthly salary wasn't low; one portion of Fengwei Shrimp he could afford.

It was just that every month he had to deposit more than half his salary into the bank; that was what he was saving to pay the down payment for a house.

Besides the portion deposited in the bank each month, the remainder was his living expenses.

As for the money saved for buying a house, let alone 588, even 58 he wouldn't bear to touch.

"A plate is just 588, for you that's not expensive right? Anyway I myself am too stingy to order it, you just treat me to it once?"

Liao Tong seemed not to have heard his words, continuing on his own:

"Can't you switch to something else? Red Braised Pork and Lion's Head are fine too, must you eat this 588 a plate Fengwei Shrimp?"

Zhang Xianyang frowned, pointed at the other dishes on the price list and said.

Liao Tong shook his head, said with a straight face: "I actually just want to taste Jiangcheng-made hometown dishes, this little request isn't excessive right? This Fengwei Shrimp sells for more than in our hometown, I want to taste whether it's worth it."

"Isn't Stir-fried Asparagus Lettuce also your hometown dish? Why don't you order that?"

Zhang Xianyang pursed his lips, asked with some dissatisfaction.

"I eat Stir-fried Asparagus Lettuce often in my hometown, eat it again and again it's still that taste; Fengwei Shrimp I eat less of, waitress, trouble you to bring us a portion of Fengwei Shrimp."

Liao Tong chuckled, looking like he was set on eating this 588 a portion Fengwei Shrimp.

"Don't even think about it!"

Zhang Xianyang directly cut off his words; right then it happened to be their turn, he immediately faced Hu Xiaoyun behind the counter and said: "Xiao Yun, don't listen to him, two bowls of Yangchun Noodles, nothing else."

Hu Xiaoyun smiled and nodded, just about to prepare to place the order on the ordering machine, but was stopped by Liao Tong.

"Zhang Xianyang, we're university classmates of five years at least; I've come to Jiangcheng with such difficulty, you won't even treat me to a shrimp, that doesn't make sense right?"

Just as he finished speaking, a resonant voice came from a dining table not far from the counter: "Exactly, Doctor Zhang, it's just a portion of shrimp, what's the big deal! If I brought friends to Boss Lu's shop, I'd definitely treat them without a second word; Doctor Zhang you're indeed a bit stingy."

Zhang Xianyang frowned and turned his head to look; he saw Zhu Chang, who had just finished a whole bowl of Xianglu Rice, sitting at the dining table looking this way, his face still wearing a smile that enjoyed the spectacle without minding the trouble.

As an old customer of Lu Feng's shop, Zhu Chang was also quite familiar with Zhang Xianyang, knowing he was a doctor at Tong'an Hospital.

It was just that his relationship with Zhang Xianyang wasn't as good as with Ma Wenliang, because before Zhu Chang had wanted to freeload Zhang Xianyang's food, and hadn't succeeded once.

Now seeing Zhang Xianyang bring a friend to eat, hearing the two argue at the counter side over ordering, he couldn't help wanting to tease Zhang Xianyang a bit, deliberately speaking up for Liao Tong.

Seeing Zhu Chang fanning the flames while enjoying the spectacle on the side, Zhang Xianyang couldn't help turning his head, saying with a teasing air: "Zhu Chang, didn't see you're usually this generous; since you say that, how about you treat my friend to this plate of Fengwei Shrimp?"

As soon as he said this, the smile on Zhu Chang's face instantly froze.

He seemed to suddenly recall some urgent business, slapped his forehead hard: "Ah, I suddenly remember, today's the manuscript deadline, no no, I have to hurry back and rush the manuscript, otherwise this month's Full Attendance Award will go down the drain."

Finished speaking, he didn't look back, walking quickly toward the restaurant door, his chubby figure disappearing into the crowd outside the door in a blink.

"This kid, mention treating and he runs faster than a rabbit."

Zhang Xianyang pursed his lips toward the door direction, said with a face full of disdain.

Liao Tong's eyes lit up, patted Zhang Xianyang's shoulder, thought of an idea: "How about this, the two of us order one portion of Fengwei Shrimp, we each pay half, how about that?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xianyang inconspicuously shrank his phone back behind him, put on a determined expression: "Agreed to treat you to Yangchun Noodles means Yangchun Noodles; I have to learn from Boss Lu, can't easily change my principles."

"Cut it out, your principle is just not wanting to spend more money right?"

Liao Tong couldn't help rolling his eyes, said with a speechless face: "Didn't you just say besides Yangchun Noodles you'd treat me to another dish? Words just spoken and you turn around and deny them?"
