Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Fang Yuan couldn't help but lower her head in a hurry, feeling a bit embarrassed to meet Lu Feng's gaze.

Thinking that she had just misunderstood Lu Feng, believing his rule that "women cannot order individually" was discriminatory toward women.

Looking back now, this was simply absurd and a bit laughable.

This misunderstanding was a huge one.

Lu Feng at the kitchen door saw Fang Yuan's expression at this moment and had already guessed that she now understood the reason, so it seemed there was no need to go over and explain further.

Regarding Fang Yuan's misunderstanding just now, he didn't take it to heart.

Since business started today, some female customers had questioned this rule, but he hadn't offered much explanation.

After all, it was caused by the special nature of the ingredients; no matter how much he explained, it wasn't as effective as letting the customers experience it themselves to make them understand.

Actually, the reason these chicken feet aren't allowed to be ordered individually by women is very simple.

Because these chicken feet themselves are cold.

This coldness isn't the coldness from being frozen, but coldness seeping out from the bones.

Although eating them makes one feel cool and comfortable all over, they might not be suitable for women to eat too much.

Because their body constitution itself tends toward cold, eating too many cold things will make their bodies uncomfortable.

And the reason the bones of these chicken feet carry a chill is also because these chicken feet are taken from chickens raised by the System using special methods.

Lu Feng had carefully examined the dedicated warming cabinet for storing chicken feet before; the moment it was opened, although he felt a chill rush over, he discovered that the warming cabinet itself had no refrigeration function.

This chill came from the chicken feet stored inside, because the chicken feet themselves are cold.

According to the ingredient introduction in the System Mall, these chicken feet are taken from a special breed of chicken called Gui Fei Chicken.

This Gui Fei Chicken is not a common breed on the market; it wears a phoenix crown on its head and is draped in black-and-white feathers.

Because of its elegant and delicate appearance, it was named Gui Fei Chicken, a precious breed combining ornamental, culinary, and nourishing qualities.

In ancient times, this kind of chicken was specially used as tribute for the imperial court, a breed for play and imperial use, and private breeding by commoners was forbidden.

And the Gui Fei Chicken selected by the System Mall is wild, and its rearing method is very different from normal chickens.

Before they even hatch, eggs with thick shells and solid yolks must be selected and incubated in an environment of ice and snow.

The chicks that successfully hatch are only given special low-temperature feed; only those that can adapt and survive are considered qualified.

After the first generation of chicks that survived in the ice and snow are raised, they continue to breed the next generation.

Only after three generations do Gui Fei Chickens count as having adapted to life in the snow.

Those Gui Fei Chickens that have adapted to the severe cold walk on snow that doesn't cover their chicken feet every day to forage; to resist the severe cold on the snow, the outer hard skin of their feet becomes extremely thick.

And the bones inside the chicken feet, after years of being soaked in cold energy, gradually become like cartilage, and because they absorb intense cold energy every day, eating them gives that unique icy cool texture.

But at the same time, the System also thoughtfully noted specially that it is not recommended for women to eat too much.

The note Lu Feng wrote after the dish name was exactly the original words from the System Mall introduction.

No matter how unique the texture of this Melt-in-the-Mouth Claw is, no matter how delicious the taste, Lu Feng absolutely cannot let customers suffer any physical discomfort after eating it.

And Fang Yuan also discovered after eating this chicken foot that it seemed to have a chill, and when swallowed, the chill rushed straight into her body.

That chill slowly spread through her whole body; while feeling somewhat refreshing, for women it was indeed a bit too cold.

Therefore, after eating three chicken feet, this feeling was just right.

If she ate more, her body probably couldn't bear it.

So Fang Yuan consciously ate three chicken feet and then stopped, not continuing to eat anymore.

Tian Yourong opposite had long since lost her usual reserve, eating in a rather unseemly manner.

She held a chicken foot in her left hand and another in her right, sauce dripping down her fingers, as if she didn't see it, she chewed directly, taking bites left and right.

"My god! These chicken feet... are simply too delicious! The bones are crisp like cartilage, and they're cool when you eat them! I've lived this long and it's the first time I've eaten chicken feet like this!"

"I didn't expect such an unremarkable little shop to make things this delicious! This boss is too amazing!"

Fang Yuan watched her eat with an enraptured look and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, the rest are all yours, I won't fight you for them."

"Yuan Yuan, why didn't you tell me about such a delicious shop earlier?"

Tian Yourong abruptly raised her head, looking at Fang Yuan with a face full of complaint as she said.

Fang Yuan spread her hands: "Even if I told you, you wouldn't come; you, Young Miss Tian, didn't you say that things made at roadside little shops aren't classy, and you don't eat anything that isn't from a high-end restaurant?"

"But the things here are much more delicious than those high-end restaurants!"

Tian Yourong said loudly: "Just these chicken feet, they're a hundred times more delicious than the black truffle chicken feet I ate at Michelin last time! I can say very responsibly, this flavor completely blows away all the high-end restaurants I've eaten at before!"

"If you think it's delicious, then just come more often in the future."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

"Yuan Yuan, these three chicken feet aren't enough for me to eat, not even enough to stuff between my teeth..."

Tian Yourong quickly finished the three chicken feet, looking at the empty plate with a face of lingering desire.

She turned her head to look at the counter side, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

At this moment the counter side was empty; the customers who had been queuing just now had already dispersed.

Tian Yourong abruptly stood up and said happily to Fang Yuan: "Hey! No one is queuing now! Yuan Yuan, hurry! Let's go order a few more dishes!"

"Come back."

Seeing Tian Yourong about to run toward the counter side in a hurry, Fang Yuan quickly grabbed her wrist, pointed with her finger at the clock on the wall, and said with a helpless expression: "You think why all those people left just now? No one is queuing now because Boss Lu's business hours for today have ended."

"Ended?"

Tian Yourong was stunned, glanced at the lady's watch on her wrist, and her voice suddenly rose an octave: "But it's only just eight o'clock now—why is this shop closing so early!"

"No choice, this is also Lu Boss's rule; it's only open two hours every day, from six to eight."

Fang Yuan smiled and said: "Then why were there so many people queuing when you came just now? Eating here, if you come even a little late, you won't get any."

"There's such a rule? This boss is really a strange person... wouldn't staying open a little longer earn more money?"

Tian Yourong sat down somewhat disappointedly, her eyes full of unwillingness.

Then she suddenly thought of something, looking at Fang Yuan full of expectation and said: "Yuan Yuan, you're a regular here, right? You still look so pretty; why don't we two talk to the boss and ask him to make a few dishes just for us? Paying extra is fine too!"
