The ti flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was November 10th.
On this day,
Delicious Restaurant was open for business as usual.
Huang Tao, as always, rode his electric bike around 8 o’clock to drop Xuanxuan off at kindergarten.
Then he rode the bike straight back to the restaurant.
At this mont, he rembered the announcent he had placed in a corner of the counter about the three-day business suspension.
So, he took it out.
And directly posted it at the door of the restaurant.
Our store will suspend business from the 11th to the 13th, and will participate in the Wenling City Food Festival, setting up a stall on the comrcial pedestrian street. Interested custors can go to the food festival to taste new food!
Posting the announcent naturally drew a lot of attention from the neighbors.
Everyone was happy for Huang Tao and all said they would go to the food festival to support him.
No choice!
Who told Huang Tao’s restaurant not to be open!
If they want to eat the food Huang Tao makes, they have to drag their old arms and legs to the food festival and squeeze in with the crowd!
As Jiang Guowei looked at the notice that Huang Tao posted, his eyes lit up, "Yo, Boss Huang, what new food do you have at the food festival?"
"New marinated flavors, if you and your wife have ti tomorrow, you can co to the food festival, I’ll bring so for you two to taste," Huang Tao said cheerfully.
"Just give a discount, don’t go losing money, I will definitely co to support you tomorrow, as for your sister-in-law! She still needs to look after the store, I’ll bring so back for her to eat."
Jiang Guowei rubbed his hands, laughed warmly, and said, "Boss Huang, if there’s anything you need help with, just say the word! Don’t be courteous with !"
His words were not just politeness, but genuinely sincere.
Thinking that it’s not easy for Huang Tao to attend the food festival for the first ti, he must have a lot of cumberso things to do.
As a neighbor, if he could lend a hand, he would!
Huang Tao thought for a mont, and smiled slightly, "I really do need a bit of help, do you know where to rent a small truck? A pickup truck or a small four-wheeler would both work, I need one for transporting goods tomorrow."
Jiang Guowei clapped his hands, "My friend Xu Donglin has those kinds of small trucks, and he has quite a few. I’ll check with him to see if he can lend one over."
With that,
he imdiately took out his phone and called, "Old Xu, it’s Old Jiang, I want to ask if I could borrow one of your trucks for three days."
"Old Jiang, those trucks of mine are all busy delivering, what exactly do you need to borrow for three days?" On the other side of the phone, Xu Donglin sounded troubled.
"To be precise, it’s not borrowing it, it’s Boss Huang who needs a truck for the food festival, I’m just asking on his behalf..."
"Boss Huang? The Boss of Delicious Restaurant?"
"That’s right!"
"Alright, I’ll arrange for a truck to co over tomorrow morning, is eight okay?"
Wow~
The face change is faster than Sichuan opera~
Jiang Guowei never expected that a friendship of over ten years couldn’t compete with the usefulness of the words "Boss Huang"!
He chuckled, looked at Huang Tao beside him, and when he saw Huang Tao nod, he continued speaking into the phone, "Old Xu, eight is fine."
"Boss Xu, thank you, how much for the three days’ rental? Can’t let you help for nothing!" Huang Tao said towards Jiang Guowei’s phone.
"No need for money, just give a discount when I co to your restaurant next ti!" Xu Donglin was recently busy with his head spinning, so busy he didn’t have ti to eat at Huang Tao’s restaurant, but he still thought longingly of the food at Delicious Restaurant, wishing he could have a clone to eat there every al.
"Sure!"
After hanging up the phone, Huang Tao thanked Jiang Guowei, "Jiang, thanks a lot this ti."
"Just a little help, that’s all. Now get busy, I also need to go back to get busy, tomorrow you just wait for the truck to arrive!"
With that, Jiang Guowei left and went back to his convenience store next door.
Huang Tao also went into his shop to get busy.
...
In a dormitory building at Linjiang.
Thinking that Boss Huang was going to participate in the food festival tomorrow as a temporary worker and half an apprentice at the store, Lin Yuhan figured she should help promote it!
She then posted a thread on the campus forum.
"Big news! Big news! Big news! From 11th to 13th of this month, new food awaits all handso boys and pretty girls on the comrcial pedestrian street, hoping everyone can co to support at that ti, and also use your lucky little fingers to cast a precious vote for the Delicious Restaurant. ღ(´･ᴗ･`) Sending love.
After the booth is set up tomorrow morning, we’ll share it with everyone. Please look for booth number 88, Delicious Restaurant, Xiexie~ Here’s a little flower.jpg!"
Classmates acted quickly, eager to grab a spot in the thread.
1st floor: Leaving a mark, I’m the first one~ can’t wait to see what the new food is?[Excited][Excited][Excited]
2nd floor: Support, support, must support strongly! Just in ti for the weekend on the 11th, I will definitely call my roommates to go support together.
3rd floor: These days, I’ve been surviving on Boss Huang’s food. Although I usually sleep until noon on weekends, tomorrow I’ll definitely crawl out of bed to support Boss Huang at the comrcial pedestrian street!
4th floor: Oh my, waited so long and finally the food festival is here.[Happy][Happy][Happy]
69th floor: Oh no! Once we hit the food festival, won’t our treasure shop be known to everyone?
70th floor: Please don’t! There’s already a long line every day, if it goes to the food festival, can we still have als anymore?
Classmates were still enthusiastically discussing the food festival, basically all preparing to go support and take photos, but when this ssage dropped, everyone suddenly fell silent in thought.
It’s absurdly logical!
Every day fighting with those aunts and uncles and office workers for food is already exhausting, adding a whole crowd of outsiders to fight with, can they still enjoy Boss Huang’s food?
...
After closing in the evening,
Ding Suqin and the others were washing pots and dishes.
anwhile, Huang Tao opened six pots for cooking brine.
He had to simr those marinating packs to get the flavor out and make the brine rich and flavorful, so that tomorrow the food can be marinated quickly with flavor.
"Creak~"
The door was pushed open...
Only to see Huang Yide and his wife walk into the shop looking dusty.
"Son, Xuanxuan, I guessed you two would still be in the shop."
Upon hearing the voices, Xuanxuan quickly looked up at the entrance and saw her grandparents.
The little girl happily jumped off the chair and ran towards them, shouting sweetly as she ran, "Grandpa, Grandma..."
"Oh! My good granddaughter..." Song Cailian bead and quickly bent over, reaching out to hug the adorable granddaughter.
Huang Tao was a bit surprised and said, "Dad, Mom, why did you co over now? I thought you were coming tomorrow morning!"
"We planned to co in the morning, but your mom thought you must be very busy! She was afraid you’d be short-staffed, so after discussing, we hurried over right after getting off work, intending to see if you needed help." Huang Yide said cheerfully.
The heart of parents everywhere!
Even though he had told them on WeChat that he had hired so people, they were still worried for no reason!
Though he thought this way, Huang Tao still felt warmth in his heart.
Being cared for feels so good!
He smiled, "I’ve already hired help, you don’t need to worry, haven’t you eaten yet? I’ll make sothing for you!"
"No need, your dad and I had so bread and cake on the way, our stomachs are still full! When we go back later, I’ll cook so supper."
Although Song Cailian and the others were really longing for the food their son made, they still declined for fear he would tire himself out.
"Okay, you guys take a seat, I will be done soon, then we can all go back together!"
"Alright!"
Song Cailian and her husband took Xuanxuan aside to play.
"Xuanxuan, you’re going to the food festival tomorrow, are you happy?"
"Happy~"
