Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Once Xiao Feilong and the others said this, the diners queuing behind them also chimed in agreement.

Many diners also suggested that Lu Feng do as Ma Wenliang said — create a short video account, post videos now and then to promote the restaurant, and let them know whenever there's news.

Facing the diners' chattering suggestions, Lu Feng smiled.

Actually, the suggestion to make short videos for the shop, he had genuinely considered it back when he first reopened Lu Family Restaurant.

At that time the shop was just starting out, and he wasn't sure the recipes the system gave could really attract customers.

After all, nowadays people in almost every line of work promote themselves simultaneously through short videos.

For this, he even seriously studied short video editing for a while.

But very quickly, Lu Feng got a headache from those complicated tutorials, and felt that making a short video account wasn't an easy thing at all.

Moreover, Lu Feng himself was someone who hadn't updated his Moments in years, and didn't like posting things.

Making him ponder every day what video content to shoot, how to shoot each lens, how to write copy — those messy things — was simply even more exhausting than making two hundred xiaolongbao a day.

After thinking it over, Lu Feng ultimately gave up the idea, decisively uninstalled the short video editing software, and deleted the short video editing tutorials.

He felt that instead of spending time on those, he might as well properly study the full-level recipes the system gave.

Although promotion is a major weapon for doing business well, isn't there also a saying: good wine needs no bush?

He himself has the existence of this system bug, so naturally he doesn't need to use conventional means to package the shop.

Afterwards, relying on the system's top-tier ingredients and full-level culinary arts, he conquered more and more diners with perfect taste; now every day before business hours even arrive, a queue you can't see the end of at a glance forms at the restaurant entrance.

The diners coming to the shop every day now are already more than he can handle; naturally there's even less need to promote his restaurant through any means.

As for notifying about new dishes, he felt there was no need to do it himself either.

He knew Hu Xiaoyun was in the group the diners spontaneously created; for anything he just needed to tell Hu Xiaoyun, and Hu Xiaoyun would notify the group every time.

This way, it saved him a lot of worry.

"Handsome people don't need to borrow short videos or such means to promote themselves either."

Lu Feng turned his head to look at the diners outside, raised an eyebrow, and deliberately put on an arrogant look as he teased.

He would never admit to those diners that it was actually because he didn't want the hassle that he couldn't be bothered to fiddle with those things.

As soon as his words fell, a burst of roaring laughter rose from the queuing diners.

"Boss Lu, you're talking about handsome people — what's that got to do with you?"

From among the queuing diners, a voice suddenly popped up saying this.

The speaker was a young man; the number of times he'd eaten at Lu Family Restaurant wasn't many.

Right now a teasing smile hung on his face; clearly he was just joking.

But the moment he said this, the originally laughing crowd instantly fell quiet.

The next second, everyone's gazes in the hall — even Lu Feng's in the kitchen — all swiveled in unison toward him.

Especially some girls; their reactions were even more intense, each staring wide-eyed, their eyes looking like they wanted to bore through that person.

You have to understand, Lu Feng is now the dream lover in many girls' hearts — not to mention his culinary skill, he's also handsome.

Daring to tease their idol for not being handsome?

Didn't they look at what they themselves look like first?

Under so many pairs of eyes staring in unison, that young man instantly panicked, hurriedly shrank his neck, and begged for mercy repeatedly toward the crowd: "Sorry sorry, I was joking!"

"Alright alright, everyone continue ordering."

Hu Xiaoyun stood behind the counter, a just-right smile on her face, and reminded them in a gentle tone.

"Right right right, hurry up and order!"

Zhu Chang behind Xiao Feilong touched his stomach, and urged in a very impatient tone: "Just now at the Western restaurant next door I didn't get to eat anything; I've been starving for ages!"

Xiao Feilong nodded, and said to Hu Xiaoyun without the slightest hesitation: "Aren't there new dishes today? Give me one portion of each of the three new dishes!"

"Beauty Liver, Salted Duck, Clear Stewed Lion's Head..."

Zhao Zhenhui's gaze swept over the three newly added dishes on the price list, a trace of nostalgia flashing in his eyes: "A few years ago when I was on a business trip in Jinling, I specially sought out an old-brand there to taste these dishes; these are all famous signature dishes of that region."

"Boss Zhao, you've eaten them? Are they good?"

Zhu Chang instantly wore a curious face, leaned up to Zhao Zhenhui and pressed: "You've eaten them? Are they good?"

He'd never been to Jinling, so naturally he'd never eaten these southern dishes; he just felt the names sounded somewhat novel.

"After all, they're famous dishes from there; the taste is naturally not bad."

Zhao Zhenhui smiled and nodded, then looked at Lu Feng in the kitchen and said in a very certain tone: "But I feel Boss Lu's will definitely be more authentic; after all, his skill has never disappointed anyone."

After that, he waved at Hu Xiaoyun: "Give me these three new dishes too; perfect chance to revisit the taste from back then."

Zhu Chang listened and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his face hesitating for a few seconds.

His living expenses remaining this month weren't much; the prices of these three new dishes added up weren't cheap.

Then he turned his head to Ma Wenli behind him and said: "Wenliang, you order Beauty Liver and Salted Duck later; I'll order one portion of Clear Stewed Lion's Head; then we'll share a table and eat together!"

"You guy, grabbing a sheep and shearing it to death — trying to snatch my food to eat again?"

Ma Wenliang said somewhat speechlessly, couldn't help rolling his eyes.

But by now he was also used to Zhu Chang snatching his food; although he complained verbally, he still agreed to Zhu Chang's suggestion.

After everyone finished ordering, Hu Xiaoyun nimbly put down the orders, turned and walked into the kitchen to notify Lu Feng.

Before long, Hu Xiaoyun came out carrying the dishes they'd ordered.

Zhao Zhenhui and the others carried their respective trays and sat down one after another at a table in the middle of the Hall.

Just now, when they were at the Western Restaurant next door, the four of them sat at the same table.

Now back at the Lu Family Restaurant, they still naturally gathered together.

At the table next to them, Grandpa Qin and his group of four had already eaten half their meal.

The message in the group, they were only the earliest batch to see it; today's queue, the few of them were also lined up at the very front.

Because Grandpa Qin had previously instructed Guard Xiao Li to constantly pay attention to the news in the diners' group, and if anything happened, to notify him at the first moment.

Hu Xiaoyun had just sent out the message about this week's Business Hours being moved up not more than a few Minutes ago, and the four of them rushed over to Food Street without stopping.
