Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Lu Feng, I still have orders to deliver, I won't talk to you for now."

Liu Jie put on his helmet in a fluster, turned around hurriedly and went downstairs, but stopped halfway, looking at Lu Feng with an apologetic face: "Your takeout... how about I transfer the money to you."

Lu Feng waved his hand and said: "No need, no need, Brother Jie you go be busy first, I just happen to like eating it dry."

Liu Jie looked at Lu Feng gratefully, then left without looking back.

Lu Feng returned to his room, and through the window watched Liu Jie's figure riding away on his electric scooter, feeling an indescribable taste in his heart.

Never expected that I would meet my former leader again in this way.

Taking out his phone and opening the takeout app, Lu Feng gave the order from just now a five-star rating, the review praised the delivery rider extensively, and he also tipped a two hundred red packet.

Opening that beef noodle soup which now had no soup, Lu Feng didn't plan to throw it away, and simply ate a few bites.

He saw on the takeout app that this shop's reviews were good, but after tasting the flavor now, he was quite disappointed.

Although the noodle soup was gone, from the taste of the noodles one could tell that this broth was not bone broth at all, it was just seasoning packets mixed with water.

The beef was just a few pitiful slices, eating it felt like eating a rag, what they used was probably also pre-made dishes.

Never ordering from this place again in the future.

Although this beef noodle soup wasn't delicious, it gave Lu Feng inspiration.

He decided to open for business tonight, the new flavor would be beef fried noodles.

……

10 PM, Mengyu Internet Cafe.

Sun Haoran looked speechlessly at the computer that had already restarted three times, couldn't help but complain: "What broken computers does this internet cafe have!"

He looked at Sun Deming beside him who had already entered the game interface: "Second Brother, look at what good place you picked, why is my machine so laggy!"

"Eldest Brother, this can't be blamed on me." Chen Deming looked wronged, pointed at his own computer, then pointed at Third Brother Zhao Yuxuan's: "Look, both our computers are fine."

"Network Admin! Network Admin!" Sun Haoran couldn't sit still, stood up and shouted loudly towards the front desk at the door.

The network admin came over upon hearing the voice: "What's up?"

"What's wrong with this computer, why does it keep restarting? I can't even play games!" Sun Haoyu pointed at the computer in front of him, saying somewhat anxiously.

"Let me see." The network admin leaned over and fiddled with the main unit for a while, suddenly slapped his forehead: "I remember now, yesterday a stinky brat kicked the main unit when using this computer, probably a hardware problem, I still have to settle accounts with that brat! Let me switch you to another one first."

Sun Haoran had to stand up and move to the seat next to Zhao Yuxuan.

"Eldest Brother, it's fine, this is just a small accident." Chen Deming comforted Sun Haoran,

Sun Haoran leaned back in his chair, wiped his eyes with his hand: "Don't know what's wrong, my right eyelid keeps twitching, hope everything goes smoothly tonight."

As the game started, the three cooperated tacitly, winning several rounds in a row.

Sun Haoran's mood also improved quite a bit, that little bit of displeasure from before quickly dissipated like smoke.

After another game ended, Sun Haoran checked the time, it was already 12 AM, he touched his stomach, feeling a bit hungry.

"Third Brother, get me a bucket of instant noodles, I'm hungry."

Zhao Yuxuan took out a bucket of noodles from the plastic bag and threw it over.

Sun Haoran caught it in one hand, tore open the packaging, put in the seasoning, then took the instant noodles and ran to the front desk.

"Network Admin, give me some hot water." Sun Haoran said to the network admin who was playing on his phone.

The network admin put down his phone, looked at Sun Haoran without speaking, and pointed at the wall beside him.

Sun Haoran looked in the direction he pointed, and saw an A4 paper pasted on the wall, with a sentence written on it: Water heater broken, this internet cafe temporarily has no hot water available.

Sun Haoran instantly froze in place.

No hot water? Then how to eat instant noodles, eat them dry?

"No way? How did the water heater break exactly today?" Sun Haoran let out a wail.

"It didn't break today, it's been broken for several days." The network admin continued playing on his phone, not even lifting his head: "Already called the manufacturer, they said they'll send someone to fix it in two days."

Sun Haoran got anxious: "Then what about my instant noodles? I already put the seasoning packets in!"

The network admin just shrugged, indicating he couldn't help.

Sun Haoran saw the counter behind the network admin, considered for a while, then said helplessly: "Give me a bottle of mineral water then."

He returned to his seat dejectedly, Sun Haoran twisted open the mineral water, and poured the whole bottle into the bucket.

"Eldest Brother, your eating method is somewhat different, cold water instant noodles?" Chen Deming saw this scene, leaned over and asked with some surprise.

"You think I'm willing? This broken internet cafe has no hot water!" Sun Haoran complained to him angrily: "This is the good place you picked!"

Chen Deming laughed dryly twice, shrank his neck and continued playing games.

Actually cold water can also make instant noodles, just the soaking time needs to be a bit longer than with hot water.

Sun Haoyu waited a full twenty minutes before the instant noodles in the bucket softened, he was already starving.

Picked up a fork and stirred casually a few times, took a bite to taste first.

Not to mention, cold water soaked instant noodles, the taste is actually quite unique, the texture is also quite novel.

Sun Haoran finished the instant noodles in two or three bites, and drank several mouthfuls of soup, only then did he feel his stomach more comfortable.

The three played a few more rounds, Sun Haoyu yawned, checked the time and it was only past 11, he reached out and patted Zhao Yuxuan beside him: "Third Brother, I'll nap a bit, wake me up at 2:40."

"Okay." Zhao Yuxuan's eyes stared at the screen, not turning his head back as he replied.

……

1:30 AM, Lu Feng arrived at Food Street.

The Food Street was much livelier than the previous two days this early morning; several shops near the Lu Family Restaurant had not closed, and a few snack stalls at the door had not left either.

Lu Feng walked over and took one glance; quite a few diners had already gathered at the shop door, probably more than twenty.

Indeed, one could not underestimate the perseverance of this bunch of foodies.

Even if Lu Feng set business hours that were bizarre, there were still diners willing to wait.

He had not even started business yet, and so many customers had already come; by three in the morning, there would probably be even more.

It looked like the limited purchase of fried noodles would be happening again today.

Lu Feng thought silently.

However, fried noodles were different from soup dumplings; the portion of his fried noodles was still quite generous, and a normal diner eating one portion could basically get full.

Those diners saw Lu Feng's figure and enthusiastically greeted him one after another.

Lu Feng smiled and nodded in response, then opened the shop door and walked in.

The reason he came a bit early today was because he needed to prepare in advance.

The filling for the soup dumplings needed to be prepared, and the beef needed for the beef fried noodles also needed to be marinated in advance.

Lu Feng casually picked up a piece of beef bought from the System Mall and examined it carefully.

The texture of this beef was like exquisite marble, just like a work of art.

The color of the beef was very rosy, the fat and lean were evenly distributed, and the proportion could be called perfect.

The fat on the piece of meat was evenly distributed, forming fine snowflake patterns, and the meat quality was extremely tender.

Such beef, made into steak at a high-end Jiu Dian, would cost at least several thousand per portion.

Fried noodles made with such beef would definitely be another delicacy that could amaze those foodies!
