"Mom, Xuanxuan, are you both ready yet?"
Huang Tao and his father, Huang Yide, had already changed their shoes at the entrance. Seeing that Song Cailian and Xuanxuan hadn’t co out yet, Huang Tao couldn’t help but call out to his mom’s room from the door, "We can head to the shop now!"
"Ready, ready, we’re almost ready..."
Song Cailian responded quickly, fastening a hairband on Xuanxuan and then lovingly holding Xuanxuan’s pink little face. Beaming with happiness, she said, "My little Xuanxuan! You look so beautiful... let’s go show Daddy and Grandpa."
With that, she took Xuanxuan’s little hand and walked out of the room.
"Spin-spin-spin~"
The little one twirled in place happily, under grandma’s guidance, showing off her pretty little dress.
After stopping, she asked with a bright smile, "Daddy, do you think my new dress is pretty? Grandma bought it for !"
Her hair was styled in a bun, topped with a creamy wood-branch styled hairband.
She wore a pink fleece knit sweater with a tulle skirt, the neckline a lettuce-edge design, which was beautiful and unique. The shoulders and chest were designed with netting and exquisite embroidery with three-dinsional floral decorations, and the cuffs had knitted edge finishing. The tulle skirt hem consisted of four layers of tulle and an inner knit lining, adorned with three-dinsional flowers, light and elegant.
She paired it with white thick leggings and wore a pair of black little leather shoes.
Thanks to her grandma’s skillful dressing, Xuanxuan was like a little princess stepped out from a fairy tale standing in front of Huang Tao, looking extrely sweet and adorable!
"Wow, my little Xuanxuan is so pretty! Like a little fairy~" Huang Yide cheerfully exaggerated.
Xuanxuan squird a bit shyly, looking expectantly at her dad.
Compared to grandpa’s praise, she still wanted to hear her father’s praises more~
"Absolutely gorgeous!"
Huang Tao didn’t hold back his praise and then scooped up the little darling, unable to resist giving her a kiss on her rosy cheek, "Let’s go!"
Exiting the community, they quickly made their way towards West City Old Street.
By the ti Huang Tao and the others reached the shop, Xu Hao and his team were already there.
By now, Lin Zifeng had already started cleaning various ats delivered early in the morning, almost done.
Xu Hao was prepping the preliminary work for the roast duck.
Ding Suqin was busy cleaning vegetables that arrived early, with even Shen Qiumo pitching in to help with the washing.
Lin Yuhan, Yan Ming, along with Ji and Wei, were tidying up items.
For instance, ensuring packaging boxes and chopsticks needed for the food festival were ready.
In addition, they scalded each stainless steel tray for the braised dishes with hot water.
Each person was bustling with activity, yet everything was well-organized and systematic.
"Wow!"
Lin Yuhan, the first to notice Xuanxuan, burst with excitent, "Xuanxuan looks so pretty today! Like a little princess! Who bought you this dress? It’s so beautiful!"
"Thank you, sister, for the complint. This dress was bought by my grandma." Xuanxuan smiled sweetly.
What a beautiful, adorable, well-behaved, and mannerly child!
Lin Yuhan’s eyes almost turned heart-shaped, secretly vowing in her heart.
When she marries Yan Ming, they must have a daughter.
Hmm~
If they end up with a boy...
Then have another one!
With such lovely anticipation, she continued her noble task of scalding the stainless steel trays.
anwhile, witnessing everyone working hard, Huang Tao felt deeply grateful to have them!
He pointed at the eight of them with a smile, saying, "Everyone, it’ll be hard work these days, but after the food festival, I’ll give you guys a bonus..."
The prospect of a bonus naturally brought happiness.
Xu Hao and the three full-ti employees expressed their gratitude, "Thank you, Boss..."
"Boss, do we get bonuses too?" Yan Ming and three other part-tirs looked surprised.
"Yes!"
"Thank you, Boss Huang..."
Shen Qiumo politely declined, "Boss Huang, it’s unnecessary for . I’m just here to lend a hand when I have the ti."
"Deal, then you just get als covered!"
Huang Tao, not bothering with formalities with her, thought he could just give Xu Hao a bit more bonus later!
Finally, he didn’t forget to ask for everyone’s opinion, "What do you all want for breakfast?"
"Anything, Boss Huang, whatever you cook, we love to eat," Ji grinned, imnsely happy.
"We’re fine with anything!"
Since everyone had no particular breakfast demands, Huang Tao thought he’d follow his daughter’s preferences to prepare the al.
"Mom and Dad, I’m going to get busy now. Xuanxuan is in your hands."
Huang Tao entrusted Xuanxuan’s care to his parents and headed to the kitchen to work.
He reignited the marinade pot that had been cooked the previous night.
Two chicken pots, one duck pot, one goose pot, and one pig trotter pot.
After more than an hour, whichever pot was cooked was ready for the prepared vegetable pot to be cooked alongside.
"Xu Hao, after they’re cooked, whether it’s at or vegetables, bring the whole pot over. I’ll arrange for a driver to pick you up later, also please prepare for the roasting work in advance. Zifeng and Wei, you two stay in the shop to help with braising at, today will be a busy day for everyone."
"Yes, Boss, you can count on us, we’ll give it our all,"
Everyone responded in unison.
They all knew the importance of this food festival, each with a strong commitnt to excel.
While the marinade pot was still boiling, he started boiling fish soup, then with Zifeng, began preparing breakfast.
After breakfast, it was already 7:30 in the morning.
"Beep beep beep~"
At this ti, a small truck sent by Xu Donglin had arrived outside the shop ahead of schedule.
The driver got off and went to the shop entrance, asking, "Is Boss Huang here?"
"Hello, that’s ."
"Oh, hello, I’m sent by General Manager Xu. He said for the next three days, listen to your instructions, and I’ve got enough strength. Let know if there’s anything you need."
"Thank you, sir, we have enough people for cargo loading, please help us transport the equipnt to the food festival."
Huang Tao thanked him with a smile and invited, "You haven’t had breakfast yet, right? I just made so pan-fried buns, along with nourishing fish soup. Co in and have so."
The driver initially declined, but Huang Tao insisted, so he joined them for breakfast.
Huang Tao, alongside Xu Hao and the other young n, diligently loaded the items and equipnt needed for the food festival onto the small truck.
Though there were many items to load.
The young n were strong and efficient, wrapping it all up in about ten minutes.
With everything loaded onto the truck.
The driver, having finished his al, was ready to set out.
Huang Tao boarded the small truck, accompanying the load to the food festival at the comrcial pedestrian street.
The small truck had limited seats, just two in total, so Xuanxuan along with his parents, and Ding Suqin and the three part-ti student workers took Lin Jingsong’s taxi service to get there.

Over at the comrcial pedestrian street, the place was already bustling, brightly decorated with crowds flowing.
