Lu Feng was not surprised by their reactions, after all, he had tasted it himself.
It could be said that if the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) he made ranked second, no one would dare to claim first!
Lu Feng smiled and kindly reminded him, "Ten portions? Didn't you say one portion was enough? Can you even finish it?"
"Brother Feng, I was wrong, okay? How was I supposed to know your xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) were so delicious? If I can't finish it, I'll pack it up and take it home for my old man to try. Stop talking nonsense, give me the payment code, hurry, hurry!"
"Alright, the payment code is on the wall, scan it yourself. I'll bring it out to you right away."
Ten portions of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) meant five hundred yuan, and he was naturally happy to earn money.
WeChat Pay received, five hundred yuan.
Lu Feng turned his head to look at Lin Meimei, who was standing nearby, and asked,
"You want ten portions too?"
Lin Meimei felt a bit embarrassed. She had blurted it out in a moment of impulse and was only now realizing it.
Ten portions of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), putting aside whether she could eat them all.
The main thing was, five hundred yuan was a bit much for a girl who had just started university.
She wasn't some rich second-generation; her monthly living expenses were only two thousand yuan.
"Um... Boss, I can't eat that much. Just one more portion for takeout is fine."
Lu Feng nodded, went back to the kitchen, packed one portion in a plastic bag, and then brought out ten portions of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
After Lin Meimei paid, she took the packed xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and couldn't resist eating one first, then left contentedly.
As for Li Jiang on the other side, he was stuffing xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) into his mouth while praising loudly.
"Fragrant! So fragrant!"
"This is the best xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) I've ever eaten in my life!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, this meat filling is absolutely amazing!"
His loud voice made passersby at the entrance frequently look his way.
Within a few minutes, a young university couple was drawn in.
The boy was a bit chubby and quite tall.
The girl's expression was a little displeased; she looked somewhat reluctant.
After Sun Qiming entered, he took a deep sniff of the aroma in the hall, then turned to his girlfriend and said in surprise,
"It smells so good! Tingting, why don't we try some?"
Xu Yating said unhappily, "We've already eaten so many snacks, and you still want more? Look at how fat you've gotten!"
They were on a date today, going shopping after watching a movie.
They hadn't even visited many stores, but Sun Qiming kept saying he was hungry one moment and thirsty the next.
As a result, they didn't really shop much, but they ate a lot of snacks along the way.
Other boyfriends would buy small gifts for their girlfriends, accompany them shopping without complaining about being tired, carrying bags and massaging their legs.
How did she end up with a boyfriend who only thought about eating?
It was rare for them to go out, but most of the time was spent eating, eating, eating.
"Please, Tingting, you know this is my only hobby. Let's just each have one portion, and tomorrow I'll take you shopping for clothes, okay?"
Sun Qiming saw Li Jiang in the hall, eating xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) one after another, his mouth greasy, and his eyes went wide.
To get a taste himself, he had to beg piteously.
Hearing her boyfriend say that, Xu Yating's expression softened slightly.
However, she still frowned and said, "But their xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are too expensive, fifty yuan a portion. Why don't we go to Li's Restaurant? Theirs are only thirty, and they're quite good too."
"Miss, Li's Xiaolongbao can't compare to these at all. Never mind fifty a portion, five hundred a portion wouldn't be expensive!"
Li Jiang swallowed the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) in his mouth and said with a somewhat exaggerated expression.
"Really? You're not a shill for this place, are you? Besides you, there are no other customers here, so I bet the taste isn't very good!"
Xu Yating looked disbelieving.
If it was really that delicious, wouldn't customers be lining up to buy it?
Even if they hired shills, they should at least hire more people to create the illusion of a lively atmosphere!
Just one shill, it had no persuasive power at all!
"Miss, you can question my age, but you cannot question my taste!"
Li Jiang felt a bit indignant when his taste was questioned.
As a food lover, he would never allow anyone to question his taste.
"Miss, you can buy some to try. If it's not delicious, I'll pay for it for you!"
Hearing Li Jiang say that, Sun Qiming's eyes lit up, and he quickly said to his girlfriend,
"Tingting, you see he said that, let's try it!"
Xu Yating was also a little tempted. She thought for a moment and said, "xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are too greasy, and I've eaten a lot today. You just buy one portion to try; I won't eat any."
Having eaten and drunk so much with Sun Qiming recently, her weight had increased quite a bit, and she had already decided to start losing weight.
"Alright!"
Sun Qiming was instantly overjoyed and hurried to pay.
Lu Feng listened to their conversation and didn't say anything.
He brought the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) out of the kitchen and handed them to Sun Qiming.
Sun Qiming was a bit impatient. Without waiting to take them back to the table, he quickly lifted the lid of the steamer and took a deep breath.
A rich aroma filled his nostrils, his taste buds were instantly activated, and his saliva began to flow madly.
This aroma was incredible! The taste definitely wouldn't be bad!
Sun Qiming turned to look at his girlfriend sitting next to him and carefully asked, "Are you really not going to eat any?"
Xu Yating also smelled the aroma of the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), and a hint of wavering flashed in her eyes.
The xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) smelled so good, she really wanted to eat one.
But then she remembered the number on the scale before she left home today.
She really couldn't eat anymore; if she gained any more weight, her old clothes wouldn't fit.
I must resist!
After much hesitation, Xu Yating endured the meaty aroma lingering in the air and still shook her head firmly.
"Then I'm going to eat."
Sun Qiming couldn't wait. He grabbed his chopsticks, picked up one, and put it in his mouth, immediately showing a satisfied expression.
These xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) were too delicious!
The soft yet elastic wrapper, the perfectly balanced scallion and ginger flavor, and the incredibly tender meat filling.
With one bite, the juice filled his mouth, and every taste bud on his tongue was conquered by this deliciousness.
Watching her boyfriend eat with such enjoyment, Xu Yating couldn't help but swallow, and asked with a hint of longing, "How is it? Is it good?"
"It's more than just good! It's simply a delicacy from heaven! Are you sure you don't want to try one?"
Sun Qiming swallowed the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) in his mouth, immediately picked up another one, stuffed it into his mouth, and said indistinctly.
The craving in Xu Yating's stomach was completely ignited. She thought, I'll just eat one, it should be fine. At worst, I'll run a few extra laps on the school track tonight.
"Then... I'll just eat one, just one."
Sun Qiming quickly handed over his chopsticks and said somewhat reluctantly, "You said it, just one."
"Look at how stingy you are, I know!"
Xu Yating gave him an annoyed look, took the chopsticks, picked up one, and carefully took a bite.
Oh my god!
Are these xiaolongbao (soup dumplings)? How can they be so delicious!
Xu Yating's eyes widened suddenly. The deliciousness of these xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) completely exceeded her imagination.
She clearly didn't like greasy food, yet she didn't expect these xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) to have no greasy feeling at all.
That tender and juicy meat filling struck her soul deeply!
"How is it? Is it good?" Sun Qiming asked expectantly from the side.
"..."
Xu Yating didn't speak. The xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) in her mouth were still being chewed, and her chopsticks moved like lightning, quickly picking up another xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
"Hey, hey, hey!" Sun Qiming became anxious.
"Didn't you say you'd only eat one!"
