Chapter 10: What's so special about Xiaolongbao?

These two young lovers began to fight over a basket of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).

Finally, the two looked at the empty steamer basket, exchanged glances, and nodded in unison.

"Boss! Two more portions!"

Sun Qiming stood up and shouted loudly at Lu Feng.

Lu Feng responded with a smile, "Wait a moment, coming right up!"

Soon, two steaming baskets of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) were placed on the table.

They ate with great relish, and during this, Sun Qiming even took a few photos of his girlfriend devouring the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) with his phone.

Before long, the two baskets of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) were completely devoured.

"How was it? Didn't I tell you? Isn't it much tastier than Li's Restaurant?"

Li Jiang asked the couple, burping with a smug expression.

"It's delicious!" Sun Qiming gave a thumbs-up without hesitation, offering high praise.

Xu Yating, on the other hand, had her eyes closed, looking conflicted.

After satisfying her appetite, her reason gradually returned.

What to do? She had clearly made up her mind to lose weight, but couldn't resist eating another basket.

Earlier, accompanying her boyfriend shopping, she had already eaten a lot.

Now she had eaten a whole basket of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) again.

She couldn't imagine how much the number on the scale would increase tomorrow morning.

But…

She couldn't blame the boss for making it so delicious; after all, she was the one who strongly requested another portion.

"It's all your fault! Why didn't you stop me from ordering it!"

Xu Yating, full of resentment with nowhere to vent, punched Sun Qiming hard.

"You didn't say that when you were eating just now…" Sun Qiming looked wronged.

Seeing his girlfriend's regretful expression, he quickly comforted her, "It's okay, it's just one portion of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), you won't gain weight! Besides, these xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are so delicious, it would be such a shame if we missed out!"

Recalling the ultimate delicious enjoyment the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) brought, Xu Yating felt a little better.

"I don't care! If I get fat later, you're not allowed to laugh at me, and you're certainly not allowed to dislike me, understand!"

"How could I? Tingting, you're always the most beautiful in my heart!"

Li Jiang, sitting not far away, couldn't help but get goosebumps and disdainfully curled his lips.

Have you considered the feelings of the single people present?

Hmph! So what if you have a girlfriend?

Sun Qiming, having placated his girlfriend, took out his phone from his pocket and sent the photos he had just taken to the dorm group, adding a sentence.

Rising Star: Today, I went shopping with my girlfriend and discovered an incredibly delicious place. The xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are truly a delicacy on earth!

The previously quiet dorm group immediately had responses.

Brother Hao: Look at that mouth, if you didn't know better, you'd think it was an abyssal beast!

Young Master Long: Ming Ge, you took pictures of sister-in-law like that, aren't you afraid of being silenced later?

Basketball Prince: Ming Ge, that's enough, you're on a date and you still don't forget to spread some dog food. Can't you consider the feelings of the lonely old men in the dorm?

Bald Ranger: Holy cow, those xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) look so appetizing! That meat filling, that soup… *slurp*!

Brother Hao: I can't take it, they look so good! Ming Ge, help me bring a portion back later!

Young Master Long: Bring me a portion too! We haven't eaten yet! We're starving!

Basketball Prince: Godfather, your child wants some too!

Zhuang Dazhuang: Me too! Heart! Mwah!

Sun Qiming smiled as he typed, looking at the messages from his dorm mates.

Rising Star: Don't just ask for it, transfer the money! Fifty a portion!

Brother Hao: Holy cow! Fifty? Why don't you just rob a bank!"

Bald Ranger: You little rascal, you didn't spend all your money on your girlfriend and now you're crowdfunding, are you?

Basketball Prince: You scoundrel! Dad misjudged you!

Zhuang Dazhuang: Me too! I despise you!

The group chat took a turn, and everyone was agitated.

Sun Qiming didn't waste words, he took a photo of the price list on the hall wall and threw it into the group.

Rising Star: See for yourselves if it's fifty!

Rising Star: I'm telling you, I'll bet my two heads on it, the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) at this place are absolutely the best thing you've ever eaten in your life! No contest! Don't regret it if you don't eat them!

Young Master Long: No way! It really is fifty a portion! Are the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) filled with gold? So expensive!"

Bald Ranger: You've made me curious! If it's really as delicious as you say, fifty isn't unacceptable. Ming Ge, please bring a portion, I'll give you the money when you get back.

Rising Star: No time! I still have to accompany your sister-in-law, I'll send her back to school later. If you want to eat, come yourselves!

Brother Hao: You guy with a girlfriend and no humanity!

Basketball Prince: Ming Ge, location please! I'm getting dressed and coming over now!

Zhuang Dazhuang: Me too!

Sun Qiming happily sent the store's location in the group, then stood up and shouted loudly to Lu Feng, "Boss, I just did a little promotion for you. A few of my roommates will be coming over later."

"Mm, thank you. If you like the food, come often." Lu Feng nodded.

"Definitely! Boss, your skill is amazing!" Sun Qiming gave Lu Feng a big thumbs-up, put his arm around his girlfriend, and walked out of the store.

Watching the two leave contentedly, Lu Feng was also very happy.

Although the store's operating hours limited customer traffic, the deliciousness of the max-level xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) was basically irresistible to anyone.

If one person could buy a few more portions, completing the task of 500 portions this week was still very hopeful.

"Feng Zi! Do you still have xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) in the kitchen? If so, pack them all for me!"

Li Jiang in the hall, rubbing his round belly, stood up with some effort.

"Leaving already? Not staying a bit longer? You haven't finished what's on the table, and you want more?"

Lu Feng looked at the six baskets of dumplings still remaining on the table.

"My mom and dad are waiting for me to go back. They heard your store opened today and insisted I bring some back for them to try. Besides, I want to eat them tomorrow too!"

"Alright! Thanks for your patronage today. After I get through this busy period, I'll treat you to a seafood feast in a few days!"

So far, Li Jiang alone had accounted for more than half of the revenue, a truly big customer.

However, for him, a second-generation rich kid from a demolition project, these were small sums.

"Oh, come on, with our relationship, is that really necessary? Besides, after eating your xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), I wouldn't be able to eat anything else."

Li Jiang waved his hand nonchalantly, taking the takeout box from Lu Feng.

After paying, Li Jiang looked around at the exquisite decor of the store and said with some emotion, "Originally, I was thinking that if your store didn't work out, I'd introduce you to work for my uncle. Looks like that won't be necessary."

"Thank you." Lu Feng felt a little touched.

Although Li Jiang was a slacker at work, he was always quite attentive to Lu Feng's affairs.

"No need for thanks between brothers. I'm leaving. I'll bring some friends over tomorrow!"

Li Jiang patted Lu Feng's shoulder, said goodbye, and drove away.

After Li Jiang left, Lu Feng checked the time. It was only 9:30 now.

There were still quite a few pedestrians on the walking street, and new customers would be coming soon.

The first batch of thirty portions of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) had all been sold out.

He should take advantage of this moment when no one was around to quickly make the next batch.

………

On the other side.

Jiangcheng University, Men's Dormitory, Room 204.

The boys who received the location rolled out of bed one after another, noisily heading out the door.

Wang Yu from Room 203 next door came out and saw them rushing about, looking a bit curious.

"Where are you guys off to? No gaming tonight?"

"We'll talk later! If we're late, the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) will be gone!"

"?"

What xiaolongbao (soup dumplings)? Is it that serious?

Interstellar Renaissance: After Being Rejected, I Took The Entire Universe By Storm

【No romance + Interstellar multi-race setting + Plagiarist-style protagonist + System Cultural Renaissance + Multiple secret identities + Face-slapping the entire universe with “it’s actually good”】 Lin Wei was developing the first comprehensive game on Blue Star— when she suddenly transmigrated into an interstellar world. At the start, her stepmother exiled her to a garbage dump, and the system bound to her demanded she assist in launching a cultural renaissance to prevent the collapse of interstellar civilization. Starting from scratch, her very first move was to steal an assault ship from the space pirate who came to assassinate her— earning her first pot of gold in this new world.
