Lu Feng

Qin Ye slowly picked up the last piece of Clear Stewed Lion's Head with his chopsticks and sent it into his mouth, eating it with a satisfied expression, his gaze casually sweeping over Zhao Zhenhui and the others at the neighboring table.

He happened to see several takeout boxes printed with the English logo sunshinegarden on the table over there.

"You few, you came from that Western restaurant next door just now, right?"

Qin Ye pointed at those exquisitely packaged takeout boxes, a smile of realization on his face.

After saying that, he glanced at the diners queuing in the hall.

Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

Almost every one of the queuing diners was holding a takeout box of the same style as Zhao Zhenhui's group, and the sight was quite spectacular.

"We didn't really go there to eat."

Xiao Feilong raised his head, speaking with a serious expression, his tone carrying a hint of seeking credit: "We went to gather intelligence for Boss Lu! To check out what that Western restaurant is all about."

"Oh, is that so?"

Qin Ye raised his eyebrows, chuckling as he continued: "Since you went to check things out, why did you come back so quickly?"

"We've figured out the situation, seen everything we needed to see, so naturally we came back."

Zhu Chang took over the conversation, speaking with a look of utter justification.

Qin Ye rolled his eyes, his face full of disbelief, asking with a doubtful tone: "Then why did you pack up things from their store to bring back? Why not finish eating there before coming over?"

"The best choice for eating is naturally Boss Lu's place!"

Ma Wenliang said with a tone of utter justification, as if what he said was an indisputable truth: "Where else can you find Boss Lu's culinary skill? The menu at that Western restaurant looks flashy, we just went there to join the fun, going for the Free Steak Set Meal. If we really want to eat, it has to be Boss Lu's cooking."

Qin Ye turned his head again to look at the takeout boxes in the diners' hands in the hall, unable to help but laugh and shake his head: "Looks like there really are quite a few people who think like you. I don't know what they're thinking next door, opening a Western restaurant in a place like Food Street. Those foreign things are expensive and not filling at all. Even if they invited me, old man, I wouldn't bother going."

"But to be honest, the service there is indeed quite good, and the environment is much more luxurious than Boss Lu's place. Compared to here, it does seem more high-end."

Zhao Zhenhui evaluated with a fair and reasonable expression.

He had just finished speaking when Liu Zhen Guo, sitting beside Qin Ye, rolled his eyes widely, speaking with a teasing tone: "You say that place is so good, so why did you few come back? Wouldn't it be better to enjoy yourselves there directly?"

"Of course we came back to eat what Boss Lu made!"

This time, Zhu Chang and the other three almost spoke in unison, their tone firm and uniform.

"But to be honest, I actually hope the restaurant next door does a bit better business, preferably pulling more of Xiao Lu's customers over there."

Zhao Jian Hua, standing to one side, suddenly interjected slowly with such a remark, his tone carrying a hint of seriousness.

As soon as he said this, the people who were chatting idly couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, all looking at him with puzzled eyes.

Xu Shao Ying asked with a frown: "Old Zhao, did you say that backwards? Shouldn't we few be hoping Xiao Lu's business gets more and more prosperous? How can you hope someone steals his customers?"

"Right, Old Zhao, what are you planning?"

Liu Zhen Guo curled his lips, speaking in a tone of great incomprehension.

Zhao Jian Hua chuckled and began to explain: "Think about it, we brothers are all old arms and legs. Every time we come, we have to queue for a long time in advance, standing for over half an hour. If that restaurant next door can pull away some of Xiao Lu's customers, then fewer people will come to eat here in the future, and we can queue less in the future. Isn't that good too?"

After he explained it this way, everyone suddenly understood, and even secretly agreed a bit in their hearts.

"Old Zhao, what you say makes some sense."

Qin Ye nodded, but then couldn't help but shake his head again, looking toward the Western restaurant next door, speaking with an expression of anger at their incompetence: "But that Western restaurant next door is just too useless! They opened today with such a grand momentum, yet not only were Xiao Lu's customers not pulled away, they kept increasing! Even given the opportunity, they're useless!"

However, although he said that, regarding the diners' choice, he didn't feel strange about it in his heart.

After all, who, after eating what Lu Feng made, could still look favorably on things from other restaurants?

Let alone that Western restaurant next door that is all style and no substance.

Even if it's those high-end restaurants known throughout the country, what they make, compared to Lu Feng's culinary skill, is completely not worth looking at.

In other words, letting Lu Family Restaurant compare with other restaurants is simply not giving other restaurants a way to survive, there's simply no comparison.

The dishes Lu Feng makes, from ingredients to heat control, to seasoning, every aspect can comprehensively crush any other restaurant, letting diners taste the most perfect flavor with every bite.

This is something no other restaurant can imitate.

In the hall of Lu Family Restaurant, diners sat around the tables, eating delicious food while discussing various topics from time to time.

The topic with the highest discussion today was naturally that Western restaurant next door that just opened.

The diners' discussion mixed with the sounds of bowls and chopsticks colliding, making Lu Family Restaurant seem especially lively.

And at this time, Lu Feng was still cooking very seriously in the kitchen.

The three new Jinling Cuisine dishes drawn from the system task reward were not difficult for him now.

But the current Lu Feng had increasingly high requirements for his own cooking.

Now every dish he made, every step, he used one hundred percent seriousness.

From the discussion sounds of the diners coming from the hall side, Lu Feng heard quite a lot in the kitchen.

He heard quite a few diners saying that this week he deliberately moved the business hours forward to directly confront the Western restaurant next door.

However, regarding this matter, Lu Feng felt both amused and exasperated in his heart.

He could swear that this week's business hours differed from the Western restaurant next door's opening time by not much, and it really wasn't his deliberate choice.

After all, this week's task time was all stipulated by this system task; he just wanted to complete the system task.

As for the fact that it happened to almost coincide with the Western restaurant next door's opening time, it could only be said to be heaven's will.

You have to know, Lu Feng has always had a character of not contending with the world.

He never thought about doing anything with anyone, nor did he care about other restaurants stealing his customers.

He just wanted to quietly make every one of his dishes well, letting every diner who came to eat in the shop be able to eat food that made them feel extremely satisfied; that was enough.
