Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"You brat, I brought you out today to eat something delicious, yet you doubt Boss Lu this and that—don't you usually eat raw vegetables? The dishes at Boss Lu's place are delicious even when raw!"

Hearing him say this, Zhao Yan immediately reached out and slapped the back of Lei Di's head, putting on a stern face to speak for Lu Feng.

He absolutely trusted Lu Feng's culinary skill; every dish he had eaten in the shop before still left him with an endless aftertaste, so naturally he didn't think this stir-fried lu hao had any problem.

It's just that judging by appearances, even he himself thought this stir-fried lu hao was raw.

When Lu Feng made this stir-fried lu hao, besides being very meticulous in processing the lu hao, he stir-fried it at lightning speed.

Zhao Yan and the other two hadn't been watching his cooking process the whole time, so such a misunderstanding wasn't strange.

"It's not raw, it's already stir-fried."

Facing the misunderstanding of the few people, Lu Feng didn't explain too much; his gaze fell on the stir-fried lu hao in the tray Zhao Yan was holding, and he said in a very certain tone.

"Really? This vegetable looks too fresh; can stir-fried food look like this?"

Lei Di still looked doubtful.

He felt that the appearance of this stir-fried lu hao, let alone at first glance, even upon careful inspection still looked different from usually stir-fried vegetables.

Even though the appearance of this stir-fried lu hao indeed looked very exquisite to him, it really looked like it was served directly without any processing.

"Alright, alright, don't delay Boss Lu's cooking here; won't you know if it's raw after you eat it later?"

Lu Feng hadn't continued speaking when Zhao Yan, holding the tray, glared at Lei Di, and after saying that, he sat down at the empty dining table beside the counter with a plop.

Seeing this, Lei Di didn't say anything else; after exchanging a glance with Hei Xiong, he also sat down.

"Here, this portion is yours; you weren't doubting that Boss Lu didn't stir-fry it? Taste it."

Zhao Yan pushed a portion of stir-fried lu hao and Lion's Head from the tray in front of Lei Di and said.

"You eat first; I'll wait for the dish behind us that hasn't been served yet."

Lei Di shook his head and said.

"Looks like you still don't believe what Boss Lu says; fine, if you want to wait, then wait; Hei Xiong, let's eat first."

Seeing this, Zhao Yan couldn't be bothered to say anything to Lei Di, handed Hei Xiong's portion of stir-fried lu hao and Lion's Head to him, and directly called out to start eating.

And Hei Xiong beside them wasn't polite either; although he had also doubted whether this lu hao was stir-fried just now.

But seeing Lu Feng say it so certainly, Hei Xiong, though looking a bit fierce, was actually a very upright man.

Seeing Lu Feng say it so certainly just now, he believed it now.

Hei Xiong didn't hesitate at all, directly picked up his chopsticks, clamped two lu hao stems, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed.

Just as his teeth bit down, a fresh and crisp flavor instantly exploded in his mouth.

The unique clear and fragrant aroma of lu hao also instantly filled his entire mouth.

The crisp and tender stems had no fibrous feeling when chewed, and eating them didn't seem raw at all.

Although no seasoning was added to this stir-fried lu hao, Hei Xiong felt this was just right; eating it was not only not bland, but especially delicious.

Hei Xiong's eyes lit up instantly; before he could swallow the lu hao in his mouth, the chopsticks in his hand impatiently reached into the plate again, clamped several lu hao stems, and stuffed them into his mouth.

This stir-fried lu hao was so delicious that Hei Xiong even forgot to tell the two beside him that this lu hao was indeed stir-fried.

"I knew it; the stir-fried lu hao made by Boss Lu definitely tastes extraordinary."

Zhao Yan had originally wanted to persuade Lei Di to taste a bite, but seeing Hei Xiong eating with joyful eyebrows and his chopsticks almost leaving afterimages, he immediately reacted.

So he didn't care about Lei Di hesitating beside him, directly picked up his chopsticks, and joined the group eating with their heads down.

"Lei Di, what are you staring at? Hurry and taste it! The taste of this lu hao is amazing!"

In the blink of an eye, Hei Xiong had devoured more than half of his portion of stir-fried lu hao; he raised his head, saw Lei Di still sitting in place without moving his chopsticks, and loudly urged him.

"Ignore him; let's eat ours; if he doesn't eat his portion later, then we two..."

Zhao Yan patted Hei Xiong's shoulder and said, while casting a meaningful glance at him.

Hei Xiong immediately reacted, grinned and hehe-hehe laughed, immediately buried his head and continued to devour, eating even faster than before.

Lei Di sat beside them, his gaze scanning back and forth between the two people and the plates in front of them; seeing them eat as if they hadn't eaten for three days, his heart couldn't help but stir slightly.

He recalled that on the way here and while queuing, Zhao Yan had been chattering to them all along, saying how amazing Boss Lu's culinary skill was, how delicious the dishes were, describing Lu Feng as if he were the God of Cooking in movies.

But when he saw this stir-fried lu hao, he felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

After all, no matter how divine the culinary skill, could it make something out of this wild vegetable that looked like grass?

But now seeing Zhao Yan and Hei Xiong eating so deliciously, with their plates almost empty, he also couldn't hold back.

Since Zhao Yan had praised this boss's culinary skill so highly, even if this lu hao was raw, he still had to taste what it was like.

Lei Di finally picked up his chopsticks, but only clamped one stem, hesitated for a moment, then put it into his mouth.

After this bite, the expression on his face instantly became rich and colorful.

After eating one lu hao stem, Lei Di glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the dishes in front of Zhao Yan and Hei Xiong had already been eaten up; now they were staring at his plate of stir-fried lu hao with ill intentions.

Lei Di's heart immediately felt something was wrong; he hurriedly clamped a large mouthful and stuffed it into his mouth, and the speed of his chewing also increased significantly without showing it.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yan and Hei Xiong beside them almost moved at the same time; their chopsticks simultaneously reached toward the portion of stir-fried lu hao in front of Lei Di that still had quite a bit left.

Afterward, none of the three said another word; with great tacit understanding, they launched a battle for the dishes.

The three who usually called each other brothers now let no one yield to the other, competing to see whose chopsticks were faster, more accurate, and more ruthless.

On the kitchen side, Lu Feng checked the time; the pressure cooker on the stove had been simmering for ten minutes.

The pressure cooker he used was also custom-made from the System Mall specifically for making Melt-in-the-Mouth Claw.

The sealing and pressure control of this kind of pressure cooker far exceeded various common pressure cookers on the market, and the stewing time was greatly shortened.

Although the Custom Pressure Cooker had only stewed for Ten Minutes, according to the System Mall's description, this was already equivalent to the effect of an ordinary pressure cooker stewing for one hour.
