Star Iron: Maple of Reincarnation

In Xianzhou Luofu, in the busy Jinren Lane, there is a newly opened small shop. Although it is called a new shop, it is actually the inheritance of an old shop. The original shop sold antiques and was called "Wanshoutang". Now it has become a stall selling breakfast, and the name has been changed from Wanshoutang to Wanmintang.

The shop owner was a ten-year-old boy. It was strange enough that a short-lived person would open a shop in Xianzhou Luofu, but it was even more incredible that the shop owner was just a young child.

The reasons involved are quite complicated.

The little boy's name is Mo Feng. He is an abandoned orphan who was picked up by Wanshoutang's old shop owner Mo Xuan by chance. Perhaps out of kindness, or perhaps because Mo Xuan had never married or had children, he raised Mo Feng. The name Mo Feng was given by Mo Xuan, and the meaning behind it is very straightforward. Mo Xuan likes maple leaves, that's all.

Everything was fine at first. With the antique shop, his income was not much but he could barely make ends meet. Having one more mouth to feed was no big deal. But something unexpected happened. Mo Xuan was attacked by a demon during a delivery and passed away forever, leaving Mo Feng alone.

As the only heir of Mo Xuan, he became the owner of this shop at the instruction of Di Hengsi.

But Mo Xuan knew nothing about antiques. After all, he was just a child. Mo Xuan originally planned to teach him these profound knowledge after he turned ten, but he died early before he could realize it. In principle, selling this store is the right way, but Mo Feng is unwilling to leave this place full of memories.

So they tried another way and started selling meals.

Mo Feng has nothing, but he has a unique secret. He has had some strange knowledge since he was born, but that's all. Apart from this strange knowledge, he can't remember anything else.

If I had to find a word to summarize it, it would probably be "innate wisdom."

If he hadn't remembered anything about what happened in his past life, he would have thought that he must be the reincarnation of some great man.

Some of this knowledge includes cooking methods.

Soup dumplings, golden shrimp balls... many of the dishes are completely unavailable in Luofu. Mo Feng feels that he should be able to survive with his own abilities.

After selling antiques, Wanmin Hall was born.

While the store was being renovated, Mo Feng was practicing his cooking skills. Of course, Mo Feng messed up his first time cooking, but fortunately, practice makes perfect, and slowly, he was able to replicate the food in his mind.

The restaurant was a huge success on the first day of opening. The soup dumplings were well received by the customers in Jinren Lane. The juicy meat made the customers unable to stop eating and gave thumbs up.

For several days in a row, the soup dumplings were sold out in half an hour. In order to taste this fresh delicacy, people lined up long before Wanmintang opened. For a time, Mo Feng's Wanmintang became popular in Luofu because of this signature dish, and people from other places in Luofu would also come to Jinren Lane to taste it.

But no matter what, there is only one chef, Mo Feng, and he is still a child. He has to control the heat, the ratio of gravy and flour, and manage the accounts and the logistics of selecting ingredients.

Of course, I am very busy.

When people found out that the God of Cooking was such a child, they were even more surprised.

This naturally caused a despicable emotion, jealousy. Everyone is jealous, and most people can't stand seeing others do better, especially in Jinren Lane, where merchants pursue profits. Mo Feng violated the interests of others.

The cake of Jinren Lane is only so big, and the number of people coming to Jinren Lane from Luofu every day will not increase dramatically, so more people going to Mo Feng means fewer people going to the original catering industry.

The profits of the former catering industry giants certainly shrank, although not much, which was enough for them to regard Mo Feng as a thorn in their side.

And after hearing that Mo Feng was just a little boy, that evil spirit became even stronger.

Soup dumplings? That's pretty cool, if you can make it - I can make it too!

Those big names in the catering industry would naturally imitate Mo Feng’s soup dumplings. After all, it was not difficult to learn. After buying the finished product, an experienced chef would be able to replicate it perfectly in just a few days.

Therefore, the heat of Mo Feng Wanmin Hall only burned for a short while before it went out.

As more and more soup dumplings appear on the market, fewer and fewer people come to Mo Feng to buy them.

But there are still many nostalgic people coming to Wanmin Hall, and Mo Feng has no emotion about it. As long as he can support himself, he has never thought about making a fortune.

The simple Mo Feng certainly didn't think about the sinisterness of the merchants. They would not pity anyone who had cut their flesh. Mo Feng was lonely, so of course he had to take advantage of the victory and not let Mo Feng make a comeback. How could a little kid fight with an adult?

Using some tricks, Mo Feng could not buy fresh meat, and then use some tricks to spread the word that Mo Feng's catering hygiene did not meet the standards. Soon, Mo Feng's Wanmin Hall went from being crowded with people to being deserted.

Even so, Mo Feng still has his own ideas.

I can do more than just making soup dumplings.

He delved into new dishes, and the funds on hand allowed him to shut down the store for a while. Before long, a new dish came out: golden shrimp balls, crispy and delicious shrimp fried to a crisp, plus his secret sauce, which gave his Wanmintang a new life.

Even though the merchants tried their best, they were caught off guard for a while. The golden shrimp balls captured the appetite of a large number of people. The popularity was even higher than that of the soup dumplings.

Of course they took measures to cut off the raw materials, but even so, the effect was minimal. Mo Feng was still able to find some raw materials. After all, his requirements were not high, and some old diners were willing to ask some raw material suppliers for help in order to eat such delicacies.

This made these restaurant leaders feel terrified. This boy turned out to be a culinary genius. You know, creating a dish is quite difficult, and creating a dish that is popular in Luofu is even more difficult.

But fortunately, their opponent is just a kid, and there are many ways to deal with such a powerless and stupid boy.

People die for money and birds die for food. Mo Feng deserves to fall into the abyss if he touches their cake.

Before that, of course, we have to learn from the dish of golden shrimp balls.

How can businessmen's affairs be considered plagiarism? Although Luofu has relevant patent laws, you need background to get involved, and Mo Feng has nothing behind him.

And those powerless people become his devout servants because of the small benefits he gives them.

It's really ridiculous, but this is reality.
