Under Xu Jing’s guidance, Lin Feng drove to a small market near Xu Yishan’s farm. In the night, the bustling pedestrians and vehicles in the small market were weaving through with abandon, with various food stalls lining both sides of the street, numbering up to a hundred.

"Just find a place to park, I’ll take you to taste some real delicacies..." Xu Jing casually instructed Lin Feng, her face showing a bit of excitement. At this moment, it seemed like she had forgotten she was still angry at Lin Feng.

In fact, Xu Jing’s anger always comes and goes quickly.

"Can such a small place have anything delicious?" Lin Feng said with a bitter smile. He was not looking down on these street-side stalls; it was just that once he could afford it, Lin Feng rarely ate in places that were unhygienic...

"You don’t know shit... Ever heard the phrase ’masters among the people’?" Xu Jing unceremoniously chastised Lin Feng, "Food is the same way; the truly good chefs aren’t the ones in five-star hotels, but a housewife who has honed their skills over decades in the trials of knife and fire with home-cooked meals..."

"What you said makes some sense..." Lin Feng somewhat agreed with Xu Jing’s statement. He hadn’t expected Xu Jing to not only be a foodie but seemingly a very professional one.

"My words have always made sense; otherwise, how could I be a teacher?" Xu Jing proudly tossed her head, her long hair waving carefree in the evening breeze, her pretty face shining with a happy smile, making her look just like an immortal, leaving Lin Feng a bit entranced...

Under Xu Jing’s lead, Lin Feng maneuvered left and right, arriving at a low wall near a crossroad and spotted a small lamb skewer stall!

It was run by a middle-aged man selling lamb skewers, wearing a white work outfit covered in oil stains and dirt, with coffee-colored trousers beneath. His plump face smiled with slick amiability.

Lin Feng was a bit surprised to see that this seemingly unimpressive lamb skewer stall had four or five tables filled with customers, and moreover, five or six people were standing by as if waiting for a spot...

Is it really worth this much fuss just to eat ordinary lamb skewers? Waiting for a spot?

Lin Feng looked at Xu Jing speechlessly, thinking whether this girl really wanted him to stand by the street and wait.

Xu Jing, however, smugly raised her eyebrow at Lin Feng, smiling defiantly, "If you came alone and wanted to taste Boss Fu’s skills, you’d definitely have to queue, but me? How could I just wait in line like everyone else!"

Then, to Lin Feng’s stunned gaze, Xu Jing loudly stretched out her jade palm to the lamb skewer boss and said with a smile, "Boss Fu, slot me in for fifty lamb skewers, half a dozen beers... I want your spot!"

"Haha... So Miss Xu is here!" The lamb skewer boss cheerfully looked at Xu Jing and immediately called her by name. Then he raised his voice and called to a woman skewering lamb at the back, "A’hua, Miss Xu is here for lamb skewers again, quickly get out the spare stools for Miss Xu and her friend to sit down..."

Xu Jing turned out to be a regular?! Lin Feng was truly surprised. Initially, he was skeptical about Xu Jing eating at such small stalls. Seeing Xu Jing bring him to this lamb skewer stall, he thought Xu Jing might just pick any place randomly or mistakenly choose a lousy stall to mess with him...

But who knew Xu Jing actually knew the owner, and the owner gave her special treatment?!

Indeed, after the lamb skewer boss called out, the lamb skewering lady stood up with a smile, took two stools from a tricycle covered in plastic cloth from behind her, and pulled out a folding table, quickly setting up a spot for two as a couple, gesturing for Lin Feng and Xu Jing to sit.

"Miss Xu, and this handsome guy, come sit right here!" The nearly forty-year-old lady boss warmly looked at Xu Jing and invited them with a smile. She seemed worried others would vie for the spot, vigilantly watching the other waiting guests after greeting Lin Feng and Xu Jing, preventing them from directly taking the seat...

"I’m sorry everyone! Because a good friend is here, I’m going to roast lamb skewers for her first. If there are waiting guests who can’t wait, feel free to try other masters’ skills at other stalls..." The lamb skewer boss folded his hands and spoke with a smile to the few guests still waiting.

"What do you mean, boss? There are queue jumpers? I’ve been waiting for over ten minutes... You can’t do business like this!"

"Yeah, my legs are stiff from standing. If my friend hadn’t said your place has a unique taste, I wouldn’t have bothered with you. How can you do such a thing, it’s really annoying!"

"Indeed... So annoying!"

Before the lamb skewer boss’s words fell, several guests waiting for lamb skewers expressed their grudges, scolding him for not adhering to business ethics. However, the lamb skewer boss just kept apologizing and showed no sign of changing his stance...

"Looks like this couple might owe you a favor?" Lin Feng mused as he glanced at Xu Jing, who was snickering.

"Can’t exactly call it a favor..." Xu Jing shook her head, "It was just Uncle Bai accompanying me here for a meal once and casually helping them with a minor issue..."

Lin Feng snorted, knowing that if Bai Yuanshan got involved, it couldn’t be a minor issue! Even if it seemed minor to Xu Jing, to this couple, it must have been a life-and-death matter!

"They are good people, don’t overthink it..." Xu Jing giggled while explaining to Lin Feng, "Even if I helped them, it was four or five years ago. Every time I come, they give me special treatment; it’s all on them, I’ve done nothing for them since then!"

Lin Feng said nothing. He understood well that the common folk in China still possess their own brand of wisdom. Since this couple knew about Xu Jing’s impressive background, if maintaining this small emotional investment could draw in the big figures behind Xu Jing, they would certainly continue this investment, no doubt about it!

"Hey! Mr. Fu, the money you promised the other day should be handed over already!" As Lin Feng and Xu Jing were chatting happily, a raspy voice suddenly appeared nearby.

Three young thugs approached the lamb skewer boss, looking under twenty, dressed in a flashy garb, the leading one with styled hair, silver metal chains, jeans ripped with holes, a somewhat lean face, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and eyes full of arrogant hostility...
