After the divorce, he took care of his child and sold fried rice; his ex-wife was filled with regret

That's not the bland water of the cabbage itself, but a wonderful broth that has absorbed the finest broth and blended with the cabbage's own sweetness!

"Ugh!!!"

Ye Weiguo suddenly closed his eyes and chanted.

If you don't try this dish, you'll never know what "simple joy" means.

The sweetness of the cabbage balances the richness of the broth, while the broth's umami flavor gives the cabbage its soul.

The two flavors intertwine and linger in the mouth, creating a texture that is crisp, tender, juicy, sweet, and rich...

Even more miraculously, after eating the cabbage, a faint warm current rose from his stomach, bringing a long-lost sense of comfort to his perpetually cold limbs.

Ye Weiguo exhaled a long breath of hot air.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

The old man, who had originally looked sallow and listless, now had a rosy complexion. He lay on the chair with bright eyes and a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.

"So comfortable...so comfortable..."

Ye Weiguo touched his warm belly, the long-lost feeling of fullness making him feel somewhat dazed, and his eyes unconsciously welled up with tears.

Because of health problems he developed while working hard to start a business when he was young, he underwent a gastrectomy six months ago.

Although the surgery was successful and he survived, the aftereffects nearly killed him—severe postoperative anorexia accompanied by loss of taste.

From then on, eating was no longer a pleasure for him, but a form of torture.

The family was frantic. They hired a team of nutritionists and even spent a fortune to bring over top-notch chefs from the provincial TV station who had won gold medals to their home to cook for them.

Every day, what's served are either giant lobsters air-freighted from Australia or top-quality wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain, presented with exquisite artistry like works of art, adorned with dragons and phoenixes, exuding an air of luxury.

But what about when you actually eat it?

Hey……

To him, those so-called delicacies were like chewing wood chips; every bite was torture, a "task" he was forced to complete in order to maintain his vital signs.

Later on, whenever he saw the famous chef enter wearing a tall hat, his stomach would reflexively twitch and he would experience acid reflux.

Countless times, he forced himself to drink those high-grade nutrient solutions that had almost no taste, just to barely keep himself alive.

That's just being alive, not living!

But today...

Right there in this roadside shop, facing this seemingly meager bowl of "boiled cabbage in plain water," he actually tasted the flavor that his mother used to cook by the stove decades ago!

The feeling of warmth spreading from the tip of his tongue to his stomach, and then from his stomach throughout his entire body, made him realize for the first time – it's so good to be able to eat!

What kind of life has he been living for the past six months?

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Lin Fan, his eyes burning with fervor: "Little Master! Could I have another one?"

"Me too! Me too!" Qin Lang was also anxious. The smell was insane, and he had paid for it but hadn't had a single bite yet!

Ye Wan'er also took out her phone to scan the code, "Two thousand! I'll pay two thousand! Make me one!"

however.

Faced with the requests from these three top-tier VIPs, Lin Fan simply smiled and shook his head: "Sorry, we're out."

"What?!"

Ye Wan'er let out a scream, and her whole body turned ashen.

"One serving?! There's only one serving?!"

"Boss, are you even human?! What kind of business only sells one unit?! Aren't you going to make any money?!"

Lin Fan shrugged: "The ingredients are rare. This cabbage is the best of the best, and there's only one left at the moment."

The surrounding diners were dumbfounded by the reaction of this group of people.

From the initial mockery to Ye Weiguo's tears, and then to Qin Shao and Miss Ye almost getting into a fight over the soup base...

This plot twist is so dramatic, even TV dramas wouldn't dare to film it like this!

"Is...it really that good?"

"Nonsense! Does that look like acting?"

"My God, I was just laughing at the boss for being a liar... and I'm the clown myself!"

"Eighteen thousand... It's expensive, but the effect is simply miraculous!"

The crowd erupted in cheers once again.

This time, it wasn't doubt, but rather a fervent desire.

Just then.

Ye Weiguo, who had been sitting in the armchair reminiscing, slowly stood up.

He didn't need his granddaughter's help, and he even forgot about the sandalwood cane that he always carried.

The old man stood ramrod straight, and his originally pale and thin face now glowed with a healthy rosy luster, making him look as if he had become ten years younger.

He looked at Lin Fan with eyes full of respect and gratitude.

Then, to everyone's astonishment...

This once powerful and influential business tycoon, admired by countless people, actually straightened his clothes and bowed deeply to the young chef!

"hiss--"

A collective gasp filled the room, and Qin Lang and Ye Wan'er were completely dumbfounded.

Ye Weiguo bowed?

This is Ye Weiguo!

Lin Fan quickly reached out to help the old man:

"Sir, you're being too kind. I'm a chef, it's my duty to cook for you, but I can't accept this courtesy."

"No! You can handle it!"

Ye Weiguo gripped Lin Fan's hand tightly, "Little Master, this money was well spent! Absolutely worth it!"

"This is more than just a dish; it's medicine that will give this old man a second chance at life!"

"For the past six months, I've been vomiting everything I eat; my health is on the verge of collapse."

"But today, this bowl of boiled cabbage in clear broth not only awakened my taste buds, but also felt like it cleansed my entire body! I feel warm and fuzzy inside, and my whole body is full of energy!"

"This is the essence of medicine and food sharing the same origin! This is the heart of a master craftsman!"

Ye Weiguo's words completely ignited the atmosphere in the room!

"I want to buy some too! I want a plate of boiled cabbage in clear broth! I have money! I'll swipe my card!"

"Save one for me! My dad isn't feeling well either, I want to buy some for him!"

The exorbitantly priced cabbage, which was originally ignored and considered a "tax on intelligence," instantly became a coveted item that everyone was scrambling to buy!

Those who had been laughing earlier now wished they could slap themselves, and those behind them were pushing and shoving desperately forward, afraid that if they were a step too late, they would be left behind.

However, Lin Fan simply smiled, pointed to the blackboard on the wall, and calmly reminded him:

"Everyone, I'm really sorry, the boiled cabbage is sold out. I'll let you know when it's restocked."

"ah?!"

"That's it? Really, that's all?"

"Boss Lin, this is a form of scarcity marketing! That's so unfair!"

A desperate wail erupted from the crowd.

Even so, the atmosphere inside the store was still extremely lively.

Countless mobile phone cameras were pointed at Lin Fan and Ye Weiguo, flashes going off everywhere.

In particular, the scene of Ye Weiguo bowing just now has been completely recorded by countless onlookers.

"Breaking news! Absolutely breaking news!"

"A Hongqi L5 owner bows in gratitude to a roadside stall owner! This headline is guaranteed to go viral!"

"Quickly post it on Douyin! Quickly post it on WeChat Moments! I'm going to be famous!"

In this information-overloaded era, such contrasting and impactful images seem to have sprouted wings and instantly spread to every corner of the internet.
