Lu Youxi packed the meals into disposable bento boxes, each dish compartmentalized, ensuring the flavors didn't mix.
Liu Yushu took three bentos to the internet cafe.
By then, several customers had already ordered the ready-made braised beef noodles.
Others, looking to save money, had brought their own bread or biscuits.
Yet, when Liu Yushu walked in with the bentos, their aroma overwhelmed even that of the instant noodles.
Especially when Pei Jingyuan opened his bento.
The scent of fried chicken, sweet corn, and the spicy and sour shredded potatoes hit the customers' senses directly.
Pei Jingyuan grabbed a piece of fried chicken and strolled around the spacious cafe, munching away.
With a bite, it crunched loudly.
"Wow, Auntie, your cooking is amazing. How did you fry it so crispy? It's as good as KFC!" Pei Jingyuan exclaimed, "I'm not just saying this, it's really delicious!"
