Food: Randomly set up stalls, even the little guy is drooling.

"They're here!"

Someone shouted, and everyone turned to look at the street corner. Lu Feng had arrived on his multi-functional food cart.

Zhang Jiahao glanced at his watch subconsciously and realized it was only 9 p.m., a full hour earlier than yesterday.

The steamer in Lufeng starts steaming on the way. Riding from afar, it looks like a small train, constantly emitting steam.

Lu Feng set up his stall, lifted the lid of the steamer, and the aroma filled the air.

The area in front of the stall suddenly became lively, catching the livestreamers and bloggers off guard.

"Boss, how many cornbreads did you make today?"

"Fifty steamed buns. Same as always, one per person. By the way, everyone can add this green bubble; starting tomorrow, I'll notify everyone to get a number to purchase."

It's not that Lu Feng doesn't want to make money from wild vegetable steamed buns, but rather that wild vegetables are currently the only ingredient with purchase limits in the system's shop.

This is a variety carefully cultivated by Master Jie Badan; it does not exist in this world, which is why wild vegetable steamed buns are so expensive.

"So, this is the wild vegetable that travels between two worlds, limited to one kilogram a day," Lu Feng muttered to himself. "When others travel between worlds, they either tinker with weapons or gold and silver. As for me, I deal with two pounds of wild vegetables every day."

This kilogram of wild vegetables is only enough to make fifty steamed buns.

He arrived an hour early to sell his products in order to exploit a system bug.

[Wednesday's task: 300 buns. Each customer is limited to two buns, and a minimum of 30 of each type must be sold.]

The system's weekly task only allows the sale of 300 buns. The extra buns can be sold in advance, so customers who come early to queue will feel pleasantly surprised and will not complain as much.

And he himself can finish work early and go home, which is a win-win situation.

When Zhang Jiahao heard that there were fifty, he was overjoyed. He had thought he had no chance, but he had unexpectedly won the jackpot.

Soon it was his turn. He scanned the code to pay, and holding the hot cornbread and steamed buns, he stepped aside.

Even through the packaging, he could feel the scalding heat emanating from it, but the heat warmed his heart.

He took out his phone and sent a voice message.

"I bought it an hour early, haha, I'll come back and bring it to you now."

The button is still pressed.

"Fool." A voice rang in my ears, soft and tinged with laughter.

Zhang Jiahao suddenly turned around.

Gao Ruoxi stood beside him, her hair loosely tied back, a few stray strands clinging to her cheeks. The streetlights shone from the side, making her eyes sparkle like shimmering waves on a river.

"Ruoxi?" He couldn't believe it. "Didn't you go shopping with your roommate?"

"Finished shopping?" Gao Ruoxi tilted her head to look at him, a smile playing on her lips. "What, aren't you happy to see me?"

"No! I..." Zhang Jiahao stammered, shoving the cornbread in his hand forward. "Here you go! Eat it while it's hot! They all say it tastes better hot than lukewarm!"

Gao Ruoxi didn't answer. She looked at him for several seconds, then burst out laughing.

"You actually believed that?" She reached out and took the steamed bun. "I came here specifically to see if you would really be so foolish as to stand in line for hours just to buy me a steamed bun."

Zhang Jiahao was stunned.

"You..." His Adam's apple bobbed, "You've been here all this time?"

"Mmm." Gao Ruoxi lowered her head and carefully peeled back the wrapper. Steam mixed with the aroma of the steamed buns wafted out and enveloped her face. She took a deep breath, her eyes narrowing in satisfaction. "I'm on the bus after you."

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Jiahao finally managed to utter, "You didn't even tell me..."

"What did I tell you?" Gao Ruoxi broke off a small piece of cornbread, put it in her mouth, chewed it slowly, and then sighed. "Tell you, should we come together? That's so boring."

She swallowed the cornbread and broke off a small piece.

Open your mouth.

Zhang Jiahao subconsciously opened his mouth, and a warm steamed bun was stuffed in, the deliciousness melting in his mouth.

He recalled the heartache of the breakup, but it was instantly melted away by the intense joy of today. It was so sweet, the kind of sweetness that melts your heart.

"Is it delicious?" Gao Ruoxi asked.

"...Mmm." Zhang Jiahao nodded, chewing slowly, as if trying to etch the taste of this moment onto his tongue.

Gao Ruoxi smiled. She naturally broke the remaining cornbread in half, handed one half to Zhang Jiahao, and kept the other half for herself.

"We'll share," she said. "Don't queue for hours by yourself anymore. If you want to eat, let's come together. Buying steamed buns is fine, buying anything else is fine too. The important thing is..." She paused, her voice softening, "...to eat together, not one person bringing food for the other."

Zhang Jiahao took the half-eaten cornbread, held it in his hand, and felt a gentle touch on his heart from those words, making him feel incredibly soft.

"Okay," he said, his voice a little hoarse, "together."

Gao Ruoxi nodded in satisfaction and ate her half-eaten cornbread in small bites. She ate very carefully, chewing each bite for a long time.

As Zhang Jiahao looked at the photos, he suddenly remembered the time when they first got together. It was also autumn, at a food stall on the back street of the school, she insisted on eating roasted sweet potatoes. He queued for twenty minutes to buy them, and his hands were burning from the heat.

She took it, broke it in half, handed him one half, and said, "Half for each of us, it's sweet."

Roasted sweet potatoes and steamed corn bread are both very sweet. They seem different, yet they also seem the same.

The diners' predicament has been temporarily resolved; the side quest is complete.

[Two diners achieved 100% satisfaction]

[Achievement system unlocked.]

Lu Feng heard the system notification. He paused, subconsciously looked up, and his gaze swept past the crowd to the riverbank.

There, Zhang Jiahao and Gao Ruoxi stood side by side, the lamplight casting long, overlapping shadows of the young couple, making it impossible to tell them apart.

A night breeze blew, and the girl's wisps of hair fluttered up her forehead. The boy naturally reached out and tucked them behind her ear.

[Achievement: 100% satisfaction is the only perfect score. Note: When the host achieves a certain level of accomplishment, they will receive an achievement reward; currently (2/10).]

100% satisfaction.

Lu Feng pondered the word, thinking that good food is probably not just about tasting good food, but about providing comfort to the soul.

The value of cuisine lies not only in the exquisite techniques and precious ingredients, but also in its ability to touch the softest part of one's heart.

It can remind you of your family, your hometown, and a moment when you were loved. It can make you feel "I am so happy" the moment you take a bite.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a great sense of accomplishment. He was also proud of his master, Master Badan.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, he brought Master Ba Dan's recipe to the world.

Fortunately, in this world, there are people who are willing to wait patiently for this one steamed bun.

Fortunately, these steamed buns allowed a couple to share a sweet moment by the river.

This kind of cuisine belongs to everyone who loves food.

It possesses the simplest yet most complex human flavor.
