Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Lu Feng walked out of the Kitchen and saw Li Jiang walking in from the front; outside the Door there were still two flower baskets placed, presumably brought by him.

"Sit wherever you like."

Lu Feng glanced behind Li Jiang and discovered there was no one else, immediately feeling a bit disappointed.

"Just you alone?"

This damn thing didn't even think to bring a few more friends; that way his xiaolongbao could sell a few more portions.

"What, you brat opened for business and I personally came to support you and it's still not enough? Besides, I've tasted your Culinary Skill, I'm afraid of offending people."

Li Jiang replied in a bad tone.

"Fine then, later you eat a few more portions, and later bring me some more customers." Lu Feng didn't care too much either.

"No need, just serve me one portion, I came after eating Dinner, just Tasting the flavor is enough."

The psychological shadow Li Jiang got from Lu Feng's Culinary Skill before hadn't dissipated yet, so he hurriedly Waved his Hand and said.

"Really just one portion?"

"Really really, hurry up and serve it, after eating I can go back early."

Lu Feng was just preparing to speak when another Customer entered from outside the Door.

Looking closely, it was still that female university student called Xiao Mei.

"Boss, give me one portion of xiaolongbao!"

The girl's name was Lin Meimei, she studied at the University City not far from Food Street, and this year she had just become a freshman.

After leaving Lu Feng's place in the evening, she and her Roommate casually ate some snacks as Dinner.

The two people strolled until 8:40, the Roommate said she was tired from strolling and proposed going back to School.

Originally she also planned to go back together, but looking at the time it was Just Right not far from nine o'clock.

But for some unknown reason, she kept thinking about Lu Feng's xiaolongbao in her heart.

Then recalling the mysterious confidence on Lu Feng's face at that time, she instantly got Angry in her heart.

So she simply came back here alone again.

She secretly made a Determination: if Lu Feng's xiaolongbao Taste was ordinary, she would Absolutely do a good reverse promotion on the campus forum, helping others avoid a trap.

"Yo! Customer's here, Fengzi, hurry up and Entertain them!"

The moment Li Jiang saw Lin Meimei's clear and youthful face, his eyes instantly lit up, and he walked over on his own initiative.

"Little sister, how old are you this year? Where do you study? Maybe we're alumni!"

"Uncle, no thanks."

Lin Meimei rolled her eyes and said bluntly.

"Uncle?"

The smile on Li Jiang's face instantly froze, he turned his head and asked Lu Feng: "Do I look that old?"

Lu Feng couldn't be bothered to deal with him, and looked at the time on his Mobile Phone.

"Business Hours haven't arrived yet."

"You... it's just two Minutes short, you're really too rigid!"

Lin Meimei's pretty face flushed red with anger, she almost wanted to Stand Up and leave.

But since she'd come all this way, she didn't mind these two Minutes.

Just this attitude had to be vented; later even if the xiaolongbao Taste was okay, she would still exaggerate on the forum.

"Sister don't be Angry, this brat is just this Stinky virtue, later I'll help you scold him!"

Li Jiang persistently approached again.

"Uncle, no thanks."

The response to him was still four cold words.

"Could it be... I'm really old? But I'm fucking only twenty-five this year!"

Li Jiang's heart received ten thousand points of damage, he squatted in the corner silently shedding tears.

Time finally reached nine o'clock, Lu Feng walked into the Kitchen, the xiaolongbao could Just Right come out of the steamer.

He carried two steamers of xiaolongbao out from the Kitchen and placed them respectively in front of Lin Meimei and Li Jiang.

Ignoring Li Jiang who was still emo, Lu Feng walked in front of Lin Meimei who was just preparing to open the lid.

"Wait a moment first."

Lin Meimei was Stunned, she raised her head and stared at Lu Feng with a puzzled gaze.

"Please Pay first." Lu Feng showed the Payment code.

"... I won't run away."

Although she said that, Lin Meimei still obediently scanned the code and Paid.

【WeChat successfully received payment, fifty yuan.】

"Thank you for your patronage, please enjoy your meal slowly."

Receiving the first Payment from a diner, Lu Feng's face finally showed a bit of a Smile.

"And you."

Then he walked up to Li Jiang who was still dazed, and shook the Payment code in his hand.

"Are you even human? I just suffered such a huge blow, shouldn't you treat me to some food to comfort me?"

Li Jiang clutched his chest, speaking with an appearance of heartbreak.

"There's no free food here. If you're not eating, I'm taking it away."

"Fine, you're ruthless!"

Li Jiang gritted his teeth and fished out his mobile phone to pay.

On this side, Lin Meimei lifted the lid of the xiaolongbao steamer basket, and a puff of white steam mixed with a rich, savory fragrance rushed toward her face.

This flavor was completely on a different level from the Li Ji Xiaolongbao she had eaten before; the fragrance directly made the saliva in her mouth start secreting crazily.

Smells so good!

Looking again, six xiaolongbao were neatly arranged in the steamer basket, each one looking exactly the same in size and shape.

Semi-transparent wrappers wrapped around the pink, tender filling inside, and the soup/juice gently swaying within could be faintly seen.

This was the first time she had seen xiaolongbao with such an exquisite appearance; calling them works of art would not be an exaggeration at all — just looking at their appearance made one unable to resist wanting to eat!

Lin Meimei impatiently picked up her chopsticks and carefully picked up a xiaolongbao.

The bun skin, which looked thin as a cicada's wing, did not easily tear even when lifted with chopsticks.

Lin Meimei could no longer hold back, took a bite, and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Mmph!"

In an instant, the filling inside the xiaolongbao, along with the soup/juice formed from the melted pork skin jelly, erupted violently in her mouth.

The rich aroma of the filling perfectly combined with the taste of scallion and ginger; even the pickiest eater would not be able to find any fault.

The xiaolongbao's wrapper was also soft to just the right degree; every chew carried a trace of minuscule sweetness, making the xiaolongbao's texture become even more rich.

"Heavens! This xiaolongbao... is too delicious, right!"

Lin Meimei couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

At this moment, her brain had already stopped thinking; she simply kept issuing commands to her right hand, ordering it to quickly send the xiaolongbao into her mouth.

As for the displeasure and resentment from just now, she completely forgot them all; now, in her eyes and in her heart, there was only the delicious xiaolongbao.

The movements of her hands didn't stop for a moment, like a whirlwind sweeping away remnant clouds.

It's hard to imagine a pretty female university student could eat a steamer basket of xiaolongbao so voraciously without caring about her image, looking just like someone who hadn't eaten for three days.

Li Jiang, who had been depressed on the side, saw Lin Meimei's somewhat exaggerated eating appearance, his face full of disbelief.

Fake, right?

Lu Feng's culinary skill, he had witnessed it before; even if he were made to pretend, he couldn't fake that kind of expression.

Carrying deep doubt, Li Jiang also picked up a xiaolongbao, placed it into his mouth, and chewed.

"Holy shit! What kind of divine xiaolongbao is this!"

Li Jiang was thoroughly shocked this time; this unprecedented delicious texture — was it really made by Lu Feng?

Eat! Keep eating!

Whatever mountain delicacies and sea treasures he had eaten before, compared to the xiaolongbao before his eyes, were simply weak as hell!

Li Jiang simply didn't want chopsticks anymore, directly using his hands, left one right one, stuffing his mouth full.

His right hand suddenly grasped empty air; Li Jiang, immersed in the deliciousness, only then discovered the steamer basket was already empty.

Gone? My appetite was just opened up and it's gone?

Absolutely not!

"Fengzi! Give me three more portions... no! Make it ten portions!"

Li Jiang slammed the table and shouted loudly.

"I... I want some too!"

Lin Meimei followed right after, also raising her right hand high.
