After school in the afternoon.
Huang Tao picked up Xuanxuan and brought her back to the restaurant.
The first thing after arriving at the restaurant was to serve her the long-awaited Peking duck.
"So fragrant, so fragrant, Xuanxuan really wants to eat!" Sitting in her seat, Xuanxuan’s little stomach started to rumble just by slling the aroma. She quietly stretched her neck and looked expectantly towards the kitchen.
"Alright, it’s ready soon."
Huang Tao smiled slightly, brought the plated duck to her table, and said gently, "Sweetheart, your Peking duck..."
"Wow! So beautiful..."
Xuanxuan’s attention was imdiately drawn to the beautiful flower-shaped arrangent on the plate. She exclaid in surprise, her small mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg. Then she ladylike covered her little mouth with her hand.
Blinking her eyes, she asked incredulously, "Daddy, is this really Peking duck?"
Huang Tao didn’t expect that his usual plating would bring such delight to his precious little daughter.
However, being able to make her happy filled Huang Tao with satisfaction!
"Yes, this is the duck at sliced from the Peking duck, and I arranged it in the shape of a flower. Do you like it?"
"I like it!"
Xuanxuan nodded like a little chick pecking at rice, bright eyes sparkling. She pursed her lips, looking both eager and reluctant to eat.
All because Daddy arranged it so beautifully, Xuanxuan couldn’t bear to eat it~
Seeing her conflicted little expression of "Xuanxuan wants to eat but can’t bear to," Huang Tao couldn’t help but laugh silently: "Co on, let Daddy roll one for you."
He placed the duck at on a thin pancake, brushed on so sweet bean paste, added a few cucumber strips and scallion, rolled it up gently, and handed it to Xuanxuan: "Here you go, eat up, sweetheart."
Alright~
The beautiful flower has already been ruined by Daddy, if I don’t eat it... it’d be such a waste~
Already drooling, Xuanxuan couldn’t help but take it, opened her small mouth wide, and took a big bite.
A few mischievous scallion strands were left outside, and the little one reached out her fair little hand and stuffed them into her mouth.
She started chewing eagerly.
Mmm~
So, so, so delicious~
Her beautiful big eyes involuntarily squinted.
Before finishing one bite, the little one stuffed the duck roll into her rosy mouth, taking a big bite.
Her cheeks were puffed out with food, looking like an adorable little hamster.
So cute!
Huang Tao bent his lips into a gentle smile: "Eat slowly, don’t choke."
"Mmm~ mmm~"
She squinted her eyes, her little nose wrinkling along.
After swallowing a roll, she praised, "Daddy, the Peking duck you made is so delicious!"
"If it’s delicious, then eat more." Huang Tao said with a smiling face.
Seeing her father looking at her with such joy, she blinked and thought for a mont.
She knelt on the chair, reached out with her little snowy hand, mimicking Huang Tao’s actions, and picked up a thin pancake.
Using chopsticks, she picked up a slice of duck, dipped it in the sweet bean paste, added scallions and a few cucumber strips, then wrapped it up.
Stretching her arm out with effort, she brought it to Huang Tao’s lips and said, "Daddy, you eat too..."
This unexpected feeding...
Ward Huang Tao’s heart slightly.
He opened his mouth and took a bite.
Mmm~
Why does it taste even better than the Peking duck at noon~
Huang Tao tasted it in his mouth, but sweetness was in his heart!
Xuanxuan wrapped another piece and stuffed it into her mouth, using action to show just how much she loved the Peking duck her father made.
"Creak~"
At this ti, the store door was pushed open.
Four college-looking boys walked in.
As they opened the door, they greeted Huang Tao, "Hi, Boss Huang, good afternoon."
"Hello to you all." Huang Tao responded with a smile.
With her mouth full, Xuanxuan mumbled, "Hello brothers..."
"Hello, Xuanxuan!"
They responded to Xuanxuan, then turned to Huang Tao and asked, "Boss Huang, it’s already past 4:20, should you start operating?"
"Well, we are the first custors tonight, right?"
The four of them stood at the door, looking around. The small shop was just this big, you could see everything at a glance.
Aside from Huang Tao and his daughter and the two employees, there were just these four.
Not being able to eat Peking duck at noon left them feeling regretful, silently vowing they must have it tonight.
So, with no classes in the afternoon, they had been hanging around the West City Old Street, waiting until now.
Faced with the expectant eyes of the four, Huang Tao smiled and said, "Co in and sit down! You can start ordering what you want to eat, and I’ll make it for you soon..."
"Okay, okay, Boss Huang, you get busy first..."
The four looked at Xuanxuan happily eating Peking duck, and the craving they had suppressed could no longer be resisted.
What are you waiting for?
Better be quick in ordering!
They briskly went to the counter to order from Ding Suqin.
Many custors who had been thinking about Peking duck also wanted to co early, so they began arriving one after another.
In no ti, a line ford at the store entrance.
Ye Wen and Xu Weiwei walked towards the small shop, and when they saw the queue from afar, they were dumbfounded.
"Why are there so many people! We even rushed over right after work."
Quickly counting, there are probably nearly thirty people!
Thinking about what Huang Tao said, that there were 100 roast ducks tonight, there’s still hope to buy so.
So they ran over and joined the queue.
The parents who ca shortly after were also slightly surprised by the line and quickly joined the queue.
Afraid that if they hesitated, the roast duck would be gone.
Ling, who ca later, also arrived early on purpose to buy dinner for her daughter to take to school. Seeing the queue, regular custor Ling was already accustod to it and obediently queued up at the back.
Chen Lingqiao also ca to purchase at this ti.
At noon, she’d talked to her daughter, Ding Jiayi, on the phone. The girl specially asked her to go to the Delicious Restaurant on West City Old Street to pack so crab fried cakes for her.
If her daughter hadn’t reminded her, she might have almost forgotten the promise she made to her daughter.
Thinking of the delicious taste of the crab fried cake she tried last ti, she was also a bit tempted.
And the nourishing fish soup was quite good too. She hadn’t made any soup, so she planned to buy so later to nourish her daughter.
But seeing this queue, it really surprised new custor Chen Lingqiao.
Is it really this intense just to buy food these days?
She’s not the only one with this confusion.
Several parents of high school students who ca later to buy food also shared this confusion.
After their initial surprise, they also obediently joined the queue.
...
Jiang Han had been sent by the company to travel on business recently.
Busy every day non-stop, coupled with being in a different region, he wasn’t used to the food.
After just a few days, he lost 2 pounds directly!
During his business trip, he had to rely on the Delicious Restaurant’s food pictures posted by fellow fans in the fan group to satisfy his cravings.
Seeing it is like eating it!
To comfort his tired heart as a wandering soul in a foreign land!
While chatting casually with fans, he learned that the Delicious Restaurant was participating in this year’s November 11th Food Festival, which made him very excited!
Of course, he also found out that the Delicious Restaurant had recently introduced several new dishes.
There were stead pork ribs with glutinous rice in lotus leaves, nourishing fish soup, braised duck necks, and crab fried cakes.
All said to be incredibly delicious!
He had missed out on a lot and had been longing for them, almost to the point of obsession.
So!
As soon as he got off the train back in Wenling, he planned to drag his colleague Cai Bo to the Delicious Restaurant for a al before even returning to the company to report such an important matter.
As he put it, one needs to be full to have the energy to report!
Besides, it’s almost the end of the workday if he goes back to the company at this ti.
So, he decided to report to the company the next morning.
After coming out of the train station and completing all the checks with no issues, he persuaded Cai Bo and dragged him right into a taxi heading to West City Old Street, rushing to the Delicious Restaurant.
Dragging his suitcase, Jiang Han urged, "Cai Bo, walk faster..."
Cai Bo: "..."
Didn’t see you this rushed when catching the train, yet now you’re in such a hurry?!
And, you promised to take your bro to eat sothing good?
This place?
I freaking believed your nonsense...
Cai Bo, dragging his suitcase and looking at his anxious colleague, frowned, "Han, you said you were taking to eat sothing good, why are we going to West City Old Street?"
"Yes, last ti I ca to explore stores here, I found a place called ’Delicious Restaurant.’ The food there is beyond delicious, I’m telling you, this place is definitely a hidden gem, the chef’s skills are top-notch, even a five-star chef can’t compare."
All this ti, Jiang Han had been itching and craving those crab fried cakes, craving those duck necks, craving that...
In short, he’s been craving all the new dishes at Huang Tao’s place!
He added, "Trust , buddy, it’s so delicious it’ll bring you to tears... Hurry up, if we’re late, there might not be any left."
Cai Bo, hearing this, didn’t know what to say for a mont, so he just followed along.
"Whoa, there are still so many people in line! Quick, quick..."
Jiang Han pulled Cai Bo to the back of the queue.
He overheard people in front chatting about new dishes, like roast duck.
It suddenly dawned on him that Boss Huang seems to have rolled out new dishes again!
Haha~
What good luck today!
The first ti back to eat at the Delicious Restaurant, and they coincidentally have new roast duck on the nu.
Rembering the flavors of the pan-fried buns, preserved egg and lean at porridge, and braised pig trotters he had before, he couldn’t help but think today’s roast duck is surely tasty too.
Just as he was dreaming about the delicious roast duck, his phone inconveniently rang in his pocket: "I send you away, a thousand miles apart in silent black and white, perhaps in silent tis, distant love shouldn’t be, I send you away, beyond the horizon are you still there, the sound of music transcending life and death, using a lifeti to wait..."
Jiang Han: "..."
No need to look, he already knew who was calling!
"Han, your phone’s ringing..."
Seeing Jiang Han not answering, Cai Bo thought he didn’t hear the ringtone, reached out to lightly tap his shoulder, and reminded him.
Jiang Han originally didn’t plan to answer, pretending he didn’t hear it, hoping the caller would "wisely" hang up.
But he was worried if he didn’t answer, the caller might not give up easily and would call Cai Bo instead.
If that happened...
It would be a disaster!
Because he thought new guy Cai Bo couldn’t handle the manager’s questions and would probably spill everything, causing him to miss out on the delicious food at the Delicious Restaurant tonight.
