Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Melt-in-the-Mouth Claw is one of the new dishes that just came out today."

Lu Feng pointed to the price list on the wall and replied in a calm tone.

"Sister Fang, Boss came out with three new dishes today! Besides the Melt-in-the-Mouth Claw you mentioned, there's also Stir-fried Asparagus Lettuce and Fengwei Shrimp, both selling very well, but the Fengwei Shrimp is already sold out today."

Hu Xiaoyun, standing to the side, leaned over and added with bright eyes.

"Is that so? Then today I can still taste two new dishes made by Lu Boss, what a blessing."

After hearing this, Fang Yuan looked expectantly toward the price list on the wall and quickly scanned it.

People's habitual thinking always makes them notice what they are interested in first.

Fang Yuan was very interested in the Melt-in-the-Mouth Claw that Zhao Yan and the others had been holding just now, so she locked onto the dish name on the menu at first glance.

But after she clearly read the text on the price list, the smile originally blooming on her face couldn't help but fade a few points, and her brow also lightly furrowed.

On the price list, behind the name Melt-in-the-Mouth Claw, there was also a line of note: women need two people to order one portion, cannot order individually.

Fang Yuan pointed at that line of note with her finger; although she still wore a smile on her face, her tone no longer had the excitement from before, and she looked at Lu Feng with some doubt and asked: "Lu Boss, may I ask what does the note behind Melt-in-the-Mouth Claw mean?"

She couldn't help but start to feel suspicious in her heart.

She had never seen a restaurant with an explicit rule that women cannot order a certain dish individually.

The feeling that line of note gave Fang Yuan was somewhat like gender discrimination.

"Obviously, it means exactly what it says: girls cannot order this dish individually."

Lu Feng smiled and said very frankly.

"Why? Can you explain?"

Fang Yuan's brow furrowed even tighter, and her tone couldn't help but become somewhat serious.

Both are coming to the shop to eat, why can't girls order this dish alone? Is there some other reason?

"The reason cannot be explained in a sentence or two..."

Lu Feng thought for a moment, then suggested: "How about this, Miss Fang, you find someone to order one portion together and try it; you'll understand after you eat it."

"I don't like sharing one dish with strangers."

Fang Yuan's tone couldn't help but become firm, looking at Lu Feng with a serious face and asked: "I just want to order one portion for myself, is that not allowed?"

"Sorry, no."

Lu Feng firmly refused with a serious face, then suggested again: "Or how about you eat something else today? The other dishes have no restrictions, you can order whatever you like."

Fang Yuan's gaze tightly fixed on Lu Feng's expression, her brow slightly furrowed, discovering that the other party didn't look like he was joking, still as calm as usual.

Her heart couldn't help but sink, knowing that there was probably no room for negotiation on ordering this chicken foot individually.

It seemed Lu Feng was determined to uphold the rule that "women cannot order individually," just like the other rules in his shop.

But Fang Yuan's stubborn temper also couldn't help but come up.

She was originally very interested in this chicken foot; just now when Zhao Yan and the others walked past her holding plates, her gaze had been fixed on the chicken feet in their hands.

Now seeing the three of them eating with great enjoyment and exclaiming in amazement, this made her curiosity almost uncontrollable.

If she couldn't eat this chicken foot today, Fang Yuan's heart would probably be unhappy for the next few days.

This chicken foot, I'm going to eat it today no matter what!

Even if Jesus came, he couldn't stop me, I'm telling you!

"Lu Boss, then I'll call someone over to eat this dish with me, and I'll eat the other dishes myself; this shouldn't count as cutting in line, right?"

Fang Yuan's tone softened a bit, carrying a hint of pleading.

She knew Lu Feng's shop had a rule against cutting in line; not to mention him himself, even the diners waiting in line were unwilling.

It was precisely because of this that she made this request to Lu Feng.

Fang Yuan didn't know anyone in Lu Feng's shop; if she randomly pulled someone to split the bill, she would feel uncomfortable eating herself, and it would ruin her mood for enjoying the food.

Seeing her like this, Lu Feng didn't continue to make things difficult for her, nodding in agreement to Fang Yuan's request: "Alright."

After getting a definite answer, Fang Yuan immediately took out her mobile phone and quickly found her best friend's number in the contact list and called.

Fang Yuan's best friend Tian Yourong opened a cosmetics company in the city center; usually the two often made appointments to eat together and go shopping, and their relationship was very close.

Sharing one dish with her best friend, Fang Yuan was still very willing in her heart.

The phone was connected soon, and Fang Yuan immediately spoke extremely fast to the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Yourong, are you busy now?"

"......"

"Nothing urgent... no, a bit urgent, I want to treat you to a meal... wrong, I want to treat you to chicken feet, I'll send you a location, come over now!"

"......"

"Don't ask so many questions, time is tight, waiting for you!"

After hanging up, Fang Yuan held her mobile phone and shook it in front of Lu Feng; the screen still showed the picture of her sending a location to her best friend.

She hooked up a smile-not-smile arc at the corner of her mouth, looking at Lu Feng and asked: "Lu Boss, you heard it too, I've already called a friend over; after she arrives later, I can order this dish, right?"

Seeing Fang Yuan really called someone over to eat together, seeing the little pride in Fang Yuan's eyes, Lu Feng couldn't help but smile and nod.

He saw that Fang Yuan was so serious about eating this Melt-in-the-Mouth Claw tonight, so this time he didn't refuse anymore.

But Fang Yuan didn't plan to let Lu Feng go just like that; she looked at Lu Feng with a faint expression, her tone carrying a hint of questioning: "Then Lu Boss, can you explain to me now why women cannot order this dish individually?"

Lu Feng still had that unhurried look, smiling and said: "You'll understand after you eat it later."

"Boss Lu, you wouldn't be discriminating against women, so you made this rule, right?"

Fang Yuan's tone turned somewhat serious.

She secretly decided that if Lu Feng was the kind of person who held prejudice against women, then even if what he made was delicious, she would absolutely never set foot in Lu Family Restaurant again.

"Miss Fang, you misunderstand, of course not."

Lu Feng immediately shook his head, his expression firm as he stated his position: "I have never had any discriminatory thoughts toward women; on the contrary, I greatly respect women."

"That's right, Sister Fang, Boss has always been very good to me; he definitely isn't that kind of person."

Hu Xiaoyun couldn't help but come over, and with a serious expression explained a word for Lu Feng.
