Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Hu Ge and the other three were stunned in an instant, glancing at each other, and both saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

When Hu Ge made this suggestion, the four of them had already made up their minds to work for free for a long time, thinking that as long as they could appease Lu Feng, enduring some hardship during this period was nothing, and they had never even thought about getting any reward.

But now Lu Feng not only agreed to their suggestion, but even treated them to a meal, which made the four of them both surprised and delighted.

Originally, they had gone to cause trouble for Lu Feng because they couldn't eat his food, acting on impulse.

Unexpectedly, through a twist of fate, they even achieved their original goal.

Although each of them could only eat one portion of Yangchun Noodles, the four of them already felt very satisfied.

After all, Lu Feng's culinary skill was now famous not only on Food Street, but had spread across most of Jiang City, with countless diners queuing every day without even getting a number.

Being able to eat a portion of Yangchun Noodles here every day was something very enviable.

Most importantly, this Yangchun Noodles was free!

The four of them suddenly felt like a pie had fallen from the sky and smashed hard into their heads.

"Boss Lu, you... you're telling the truth?"

The fat man couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his voice filled with uncontainable joy: "You're really willing to save a portion of Yangchun Noodles for us few?"

"Of course it's true."

Lu Feng smiled and nodded: "As long as you help me maintain order well, there will definitely be a portion of Yangchun Noodles for you every day."

"Great! Thank you, Boss Lu!"

Hu Ge was so excited his face turned red, and his voice rose quite a bit. He slapped his chest hard and promised earnestly: "Boss Lu, you can rest assured! As long as we few are here, if anyone dares to cut in line or cause trouble in your shop, we'll be the first to object! We guarantee your place will be peaceful and stable every day!"

"Right! From now on we'll watch outside the door, and if anyone dares not follow the rules, we'll teach them a lesson for you!"

The short man also nodded, his eyes full of excitement.

"I need to emphasize one thing here."

Lu Feng waved his hand and reminded them seriously: "When you maintain order, you should mainly persuade and guide, and don't have conflicts with the customers, understand?"

"Don't worry, Boss Lu! We definitely won't cause you any trouble!"

Hu Ge nodded and promised loudly.

"Alright, you go familiarize yourselves with the situation first, I need to continue preparing ingredients."

Lu Feng nodded, and after speaking, turned around and went back into the kitchen to continue working busily.

Actually, he had just been intentionally testing Hu Ge and the other three's attitude. If they were truly repentant, they wouldn't care about these restrictions; if they were just perfunctorily going through the motions, they would have probably given up long ago.

Judging from their current reactions, they should have truly recognized their mistakes and were willing to settle down and work to make up for it.

You have to know, that little hooligans like Hu Ge and the others who idled around all day lacked exactly abiding by rules and taking responsibility.

Now that they could voluntarily take on the responsibility of maintaining order in the shop, it was already considered a rare change.

And on Lu Feng's side, he only provided them with one portion of Yangchun Noodles every day. These four portions of Yangchun Noodles cost him almost negligible cost.

However, doing this would reduce four troublemaking little hooligans on Food Street, considered a contribution to a harmonious society, and could also help Hu Xiaoyun share the work pressure of maintaining customer queue order, truly killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Feng in the kitchen watched the excitedly departing backs of Hu Ge and the others, a smile also appearing on his face, feeling that he had not made the wrong decision.

Knowing one's mistake and correcting it is the greatest good. Giving them a few a chance, maybe they could really lead these people onto the right path in the future.

…………

Time quickly reached six o'clock, and the business on the last day of this week officially began.

Outside Lu Family Restaurant, a winding long queue had already formed. Amidst the voices of Hu Ge and the four others of varying heights and builds maintaining order, they entered the hall in an orderly manner to place orders.

Since Lu Family Restaurant appeared on Jiangcheng's "Late Night Food" program, plus many food bloggers on the short video platform taking turns recommending it, this place had already become a food landmark of Jiangcheng.

The diners coming to the shop every day, besides the regular old customers, also included many new customers who deliberately came from surrounding cities, or even from other provinces, just to taste a bite of the dishes made by Lu Feng.

Among the diners in the queue, there were gourmets with a skeptical mindset who wanted to personally experience whether the online promotions were exaggerated. They always felt those online videos looked unreal, and came here to see if Lu Feng's culinary skill was truly deserving of its reputation.

There were also many peers who had worked in the chef industry for many years. After tasting Lu Feng's dishes, they were amazed and came to stake out the place from time to time, while also seeing if they could secretly learn some of the secrets behind why Lu Feng's cooking was so delicious.

Among the diners were also many couples traveling to Jiangcheng, treating this place as an internet celebrity check-in spot.

You have to know, Jiangcheng was originally not a tourist city, but now because of Lu Family Restaurant, many tourists who came specifically to find delicious food were added every day.

Naturally, there were also many young women who came specifically to see Boss Lu himself. They were attracted by the image of Lu Feng as a handsome chef on TV and online, wanting to see with their own eyes whether this Boss Lu, who was handsome and cooked delicious food, was even more charming in reality.

Among the many colorful diners, a father and son seemed somewhat special.

The father looked to be in his fifties, wearing clothes that were washed clean but very simple. His face had dark skin formed by years of wind and sun, filled with the simplicity of a rural person.

The son standing by his side was in his twenties, wearing a black suit with his tie neatly tied. His face still had some immaturity of just entering society, but he tried hard to put on a mature and steady appearance.

This father and son stood in the queue, and the images of the two looked somewhat contrasting, especially the father's clothing, which seemed out of place compared to the surrounding diners.

However, there were really too many diners coming to Lu Feng's shop every day, and there were not a few strange-looking people, so this father and son did not attract too much attention in the crowd.

The father of this father and son was named Wang Shuisheng, an honest and simple farmer who had busily worked in the fields for most of his life, leaving him with a body full of ailments.

A few years ago, he really couldn't work anymore, so he borrowed some money from relatives and opened a small grocery store at the village entrance, selling oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and snacks, living a very tight life.

However, the thing he was most proud of in this life was that he had raised the first son in their village to get into a prestigious university, namely the young man in a suit standing by his side.
