I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food

"I want this luncheon meat, fish roe lucky bag, juicy fish balls, crispy bone balls, bobo sausage, and bell rolls. You can order the rest," Shi Ruofeng said excitedly, and ordered a lot of dishes, all of which he had never eaten before.

Lin Shaoyu also knew his character well, so he ordered a few more common dishes just in case, "Another pork belly, tofu puff, mushrooms, cabbage and potato chips."

Zhang Shan took note of it carefully, "The soup base is slightly spicy, right?"

"Yes," Shi Ruofeng confirmed.

When Zhang Shan was about to leave, Bai Yuqing added another lettuce.

This was their first gathering after the holiday, and they met at a hot pot restaurant.

"I didn't expect that after just a few months away, Miss Xu would open a new store like this with so many new and exotic foods." Shi Ruofeng sighed as he observed the decoration of the store. It was a pity that he didn't get to eat it first.

With a quick glance, he saw the words framed on the wall and his eyes widened slightly.

Lin Shaoyu and Bai Yuqing also noticed his behavior and looked over.

"Isn't that Yuqing's handwriting?" Lin Shaoyu was a little surprised.

Bai Yuqing nodded. It was indeed his. He had brought it in when he passed the imperial examination. When Miss Xu said she wanted to hang it up, he thought it was just a remark. Now that he saw it actually displayed, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Where are my calligraphy? And Shaoyu's, why can't I see it?" Shi Ruofeng looked around, feeling disappointed and confused.

Is it true that only the first place winner is worth collecting? His handwriting should be pretty good too, he thought uncertainly, so elegant and graceful.

"Maybe it's not posted? This is a restaurant, it would look weird if there were too many words posted," Lin Shaoyu found a reason to comfort him.

"That makes some sense," Shi Ruofeng perked up, but his interest had inevitably diminished a lot.

After General Niu brought the lamb ribs over, Zhang Shan and Xiao Yu brought the other dishes and placed them on the table. Shi Ruofeng couldn't help but ask, "Brother, do you see any other mounted characters in the store?"

Zhang Shan was a little confused when he heard this question. He often heard customers ask questions like whether they could have half a dish, whether they could take an extra side dish when packing up, etc. Most of them were about food. This was the first unrelated question he had encountered.

However, he still maintained a decent smile, "There is only this one calligraphy in the store. I heard that it was written by the champion of Anyang County. He wanted to warn everyone to persevere in doing things. Many customers who come to the store will look at it carefully."

Zhang Shan felt a little proud as he spoke. Although he was not the protagonist, he was honored that the top prize came from his own county. What's more, there were other people's calligraphy works in the shop where he worked.

Bai Yuqing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes looking at the pot. As the steam from the lamb ribs rose, his heart seemed to be filled with something.

The words he wrote were "Keep moving forward without stopping, and there will be hope for the future." This is a warning to others and also to himself, reminding himself to keep working hard even if he becomes the top scorer.

After listening to Zhang Shan's words, Shi Ruofeng glanced at Bai Yuqing, a little envious, but pretending to be uncertain, "I heard that when the first place winner wrote the inscription, there were two other scholars beside him. It is said that they also wrote one each. Haven't you seen it?"

"Oh, that's what the customer was talking about. I've seen it before. Our hot pot restaurant is part of a restaurant on the front street. There are two paintings hanging in that shop," Zhang Shan suddenly realized.

He often went there to get food, so he naturally knew about the other two paintings. Although they were not as famous as the top winner, they were also highly praised by students.

Shi Ruofeng was satisfied now. The last time he went to a restaurant was before he went to the provincial capital. At that time, Xu Si's portrait had not been framed yet. He had not been there since he came back this time.

After Zhang Shan left, he put a piece of lamb ribs into his bowl and said impatiently, "Why don't we go have a box lunch tonight? We haven't eaten for a long time."

"Is it really because you haven't eaten for a long time? Don't you really want to see something else?" Lin Shaoyu and Bai Yuqing looked at each other and teased.

Shi Ruofeng stopped pretending and said frankly, "You have both reasons, right? So, do you want to go?"

"Okay," even though Lin Shaoyu acted like he wasn't interested in this, he was a little curious inside.

Bai Yuqing had no objection at all. It was the same wherever they went. He preferred the way of eating boxed lunches.

After hearing the satisfactory answer, Shi Ruofeng began to enjoy the food wholeheartedly.

"The meat is so tender, without any fishy smell." This was his first time eating this part of the lamb, and he found it surprisingly delicious.

Lin Shaoyu agreed, "Indeed, I heard my father talking about this after I came back. He said it was so soft and boneless that he would come to eat it every few days."

The two of them thought it was inconvenient, so they wiped their hands with a cloth prepared beside them and started eating directly. Bai Yuqing hesitated for a moment, but still chose to use chopsticks, but he tried his best to bite the meat cleanly.

Xu Si thought about providing gloves at first, but he couldn't find the right material. Sheep intestines were always a bit uncomfortable, and cloth was easily penetrated. For example, Niu Da was wearing leather gloves when killing fish, which were too thick.

In the end, we chose to provide clean cotton cloth for guests to wipe their hands, and set up a hand-washing area with warm water and soap, and always remember to change the water.

Taking into account that some guests like to eat the tendons on the surface, she prepared a small carving knife as long as a finger for each table. She was afraid of any accidents if it was too long.

After Shi Ruofeng ate a few pieces, he saw that there was some space in the pot and started putting those new and unusual dishes in it.

Put 3 fish balls, 3 slices of luncheon meat, and 3 fish roe lucky bags, so that everyone can have one, which is fair.

Seeing him like this, Lin Shaoyu stood up and took an empty plate, took some more lamb ribs out of the pot and put them on the plate, so that they could cool down and also make room for the hot pot.

The other dishes were then added one by one. The three of them looked at the bubbling soup, feeling a little unsure.

"Is this cooked? Didn't the guy say we can eat it once it floats?"

"Let me try it," Shi Ruofeng took the lead in picking up a fish ball. He used chopsticks to fish for a long time before he managed to put it into the bowl.

I just blew on it casually, and the soup inside was scalded as soon as I put it in my mouth. The surface was chewy and the gravy was fresh and fragrant.

"It's done," he nodded while eating, signaling the two that it was ready.

Dip it in the sauce you prepared to add more flavor.

"This fish roe lucky bag is delicious," Bai Yuqing picked up this first, it looked very small and cute.

"This tofu is soaked in the pot and tastes just as good as meat."

The three of them ate and commented on the dishes with gusto. Every dish did not disappoint.

Shi Ruofeng happened to glance to the side and saw a customer carefully flattening the rattle roll, wrapping the pork belly inside, and finally rolling it up again before putting it into the pot.

He motioned for them to look together, "What is the person next to you doing?"

"Maybe it's a new way of eating that we don't know about?"
