After graduating from Zhou Lu's famous school, he worked hard in a financial company for several years, and now he is a middle-level leader and a proper middle-class.

If he hadn't passed by here by chance and was attracted by the fragrance of Buddha jumping over the wall, he would never have been associated with places like food stalls.

Kong Yu took out a cup from the jar with a long spoon, made sure that all the sea cucumber and abalone fish maws were put in, and gave it to Zhou Lu.

The tip of Zhou Lu's nose moved slightly, and he couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful into his mouth.

In an instant, thousands of flavors appeared in his mouth, and they were not mixed together, but presented to you blindly and separately, as if tasting all the flavors in the world in an instant.

Sweet, sour, bitter, hot, meaty and fragrant, all appear in this small cup, all-encompassing.

This feeling was something Zhou Lu had never experienced before. He was stunned on his seat as if struck by lightning.

The five-star hotels and Michelin chefs I ate before are all rubbish!

The sky and the earth are separated, the difference between clouds and mud!

When he came back to his senses, Zhou Lu ignored his politeness, picked up the bowl directly, and started gobbling it, almost swallowing his tongue!

In just over a minute, Zhou Lu swallowed a cup of Buddha Jumping Wall full of delicacies.

Licking his lips, he looked around for more, only to be shocked to find that this food stall didn't even have a menu.

The layout of food stalls is mostly an open kitchen with the stove outside, and the distance between the chef and the customers is very close. Xu Ping keenly captured Zhou Lu's mood, and asked with a smile: "Hello, what do you want to eat? As long as there are ingredients, I will can do."

If other chefs said such things to Zhou Lu, he would definitely dismiss them, thinking that this chef was too brazen.

But after eating a cup of Buddha Jumping Wall made by Xu Ping, he had no doubts about Xu Ping's words.

"Can you make me a plate of croquettes?"

For some reason, Zhou Lu suddenly wanted to eat this kind of food from his hometown.

He is from the north. During Chinese New Year, every household will cook this simple delicacy.

"Of course." Xu Ping nodded with a smile, and began to get busy with his hands.

Chop the leftover pork belly from making Buddha Tiaoqiang into fine stuffing, add a few drops of sesame oil, a pinch of white pepper, and mix in half an onion.

The size of the croquettes is very particular. If the croquettes are too big, they won't be easy to fry, and if the croquettes are too small, they will get mushy easily. Therefore, the croquettes that Xu Ping pulled out were all standard in size.

Deep-fried in warm oil until half-baked, Xu Ping picked up the meatballs, let them cool down a bit, then put them into the boiling oil and fried them again.

Sprinkle some pepper and salt, Xu Ping handed the plate to Kong Yu and asked her to serve it to Zhou Lu.

Zhou Lu thanked him, took a bite of the browned and crispy meatballs, and put down his chopsticks.

Two lines of hot tears flowed from his eyes.

He is homesick.

As a practitioner in the financial industry, I earn several times more money than ordinary people, but at the same time, the work intensity is so high that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

In order to seek promotion, Zhou Lu has not been back home for more than a year. The streets where he grew up, the weather in his hometown, and even the appearance of his parents are all a little pale.

This croquette drew out all the memories of home in his heart.

No matter how big and prosperous this city is, it is still not my hometown after all.

Kong Yu was taken aback by Zhou Lu's abnormal behavior, and quickly asked, "Sir, is there something wrong with this dish?"

Zhou Lu wiped away his tears, shook his head and said with a smile, "This is the best dish I've ever eaten, why is there a problem?"

He has already made a decision in his heart, he will go to the company to ask for leave tomorrow, and go home to have a look!
