Many people, having learned through various channels about this magical stall at this year’s food festival, rushed over in a hurry.
That’s right.
They wanted to co and try it, to taste the divine food from this stall.
But upon arriving at the Delicious Restaurant stall...
Damn!
It’s not even 6:30 yet!
This stall is already closed!
So early?!
The nightlife of the food festival is just beginning!
How could they be sold out already?!
Hmm~
They sold out way too fast!
The chefs and waiters at other stalls were still staunchly guarding their own stalls, but the one called Delicious Restaurant was empty.
Not a single soul in sight.
Many eager foodies who ca from afar were left in vain.
Of course, their hearts were filled with an overwhelming sense of disappointnt...
"Sigh! We specifically drove for more than an hour to get here, and the result... left empty-handed!"
"Damn! Why did this stall close before 6:30? The food festival is supposed to end around 10:30, right? Boss, does the organizer know you’re closing so early?"
"Yeah! Who would’ve thought the Delicious Restaurant stall would sell out so quickly and pack up!"
"We ca with such joy, only to end up empty-handed! Sigh... it’s like drawing water with a basket... all for nothing!"
"This boss, seriously, it’s absurd not to make money..."
"Forget it, since I’m off tomorrow, I might as well co by during the day to buy."
"I’ll co by early in the morning tomorrow, I don’t believe I won’t get any!"
Many who ca specifically and ended up empty-handed decided to return during the day the next day.
Even if it ant driving more than an hour, they were willing to go the extra mile for food!
Of course!
Since we’ve co all the way here.
Not buying anything to take back, wouldn’t this trip be in vain?!
Many custors from afar had such thoughts.
So.
They decided to settle for the next best thing and buy so food nearby to take back.
And the three stalls closest to the Delicious Restaurant, naly Taste mory, Su Mansion, and New Kaiyuan Restaurant, beca their top choices.
In no ti.
These three food stalls were crowded, the sound of ordering was incessant, echoing above the food festival.
"Give two servings of grilled abalone and one serving of grilled squid."
"Three servings each of grilled abalone and grilled squid."
"Three of each: shumai, rice balls, and mugwort cake, and the shumai should be the red kind."
"Please give five shumai with yellow wrappers, and two each of rice balls and mugwort cake!"
"I want a roast whole lamb and a roast suckling pig."
"Two each of roast suckling pig and roast whole lamb, please hurry..."
"..."
Originally deserted, Taste mory, Su Mansion, New Kaiyuan Restaurant, and other food stalls started to see business picking up because of their purchases...
Even better than before!
This completely exceeded their expectations.
Of course, they were also very aware.
Because Huang Tao’s food stall closed early, these foodies who ca with high expectations didn’t want to leave empty-handed, so they chose their shops.
They suddenly turned from victims into beneficiaries!
In that instant, they no longer needed to consider withdrawing from this food festival.
Speaking of which.
Setting up a stall near the Delicious Restaurant, was it a curse? Or a blessing?
The answer is naturally...
Both a curse and a blessing!
...
When Huang Tao drove the small truck back to the entrance of Delicious Restaurant, Ding Suqin and the others, arriving earlier, were already waiting at the entrance.
"Papa..."
Xuanxuan, upon seeing her father get out of the car, happily ran towards him like a bird returning to its nest.
"Hey!"
He reached out and picked up the little one, holding her in his arms, kissed her cheek, and gently asked, "Why didn’t you go inside with grandpa and grandma?"
"She... didn’t see you return and insisted on waiting outside..." Song Cailian’s tone was filled with affectionate helplessness.
Xuanxuan smiled with dimples, "Didn’t see Papa, I was worried~"
This little girl, just a short separation, missed him so much...
Huang Tao felt a slight warmth in his heart and couldn’t help but give her a kiss on her small face.
Xu Hao and Lin Zifeng approached with a smile: "Boss, you’re back. Zifeng and I have prepared so food, you guys go inside and eat first, we’ll take care of things here..."
"Alright, thank you for your hard work!"
Huang Tao expressed his gratitude, then invited the driver: "Driver, co in and have so food with us!"
The driver had been driving back and forth all day, and also helped with moving goods.
Without him, today wouldn’t have been so easy.
"Alright! I’m actually pretty hungry." The driver, who had already been fed two als, chuckled in agreent.
At that mont, Xu Hao, along with Zifeng and Ding Suqin, started moving things from the truck into the store.
Jiang Guowei saw this and ca over to lend a hand.
In no ti, everything was moved.
"Jiang, thank you! Stay and have a bite with us!"
"No, no, I’ve already eaten, don’t want to disturb your al, I’ll head back now..."
After seeing off Jiang Guowei, everyone continued eating, chatting about the food festival as they did.
o’clock.
Full and satisfied.
The driver got up to bid farewell: "Boss Huang, thank you for the dinner, I’ll be off now, I’ll co over at 8 in the morning."
"Alright, take it slow on your way back."
After the driver left, Ding Suqin and Lin Yuhan took the initiative to clean up the dishes.
Everyone started to get busy!
At this mont, Huang Tao rembered he still had a prize to draw.
So.
With a thought, he entered the system lottery interface.
A large circular wheel instantly appeared in his mind.

No more looking, better just do the draw!
Looking further might give him a headache.
"Draw!"
He silently chanted in his heart, praying that he could draw a jackpot.
Alright!
He wasn’t really sure which of these counted as a real jackpot.
Better to be Zen about it.
Let fate decide!
At that mont, the wheel slowly started to spin, faster and faster, faster and faster...
"Stop!"
He willed it to stop.
The spinning of the wheel slowed down, finally, the pointer ca to a stop on a section.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Complete Guide to Fish Ball Recipes," you can make the most perfect fish balls in the world.]

All of a sudden, countless experiences on making various fish balls flooded into Huang Tao’s mind.
As a true southerner, Huang Tao was naturally no stranger to fish balls.
When cooking rice cakes, adding a few fish balls can truly enhance the dish; during hot pot, adding a plate of fish balls makes the hot pot incredibly fresh; when stir-frying, cutting the fish balls in half and adding them to the dish boosts nutrition.
They are even suitable for cooking instant noodles, porridge, or soup, and frying.
In short, fish balls are versatile, no matter what you make, they can be included and can complent other ingredients quite well.
Fish balls are not only versatile in terms of how they are eaten, but their making thods are also diverse.
Depending on the region, they can be generally divided into Fuzhou Fish Balls, Taiwan Fish Balls, Jinjiang Shenhua Fish Balls, Wenzhou Fish Balls, Xian Fish Balls, Chaoshan Fish Balls, Luoding Fish Balls, Hong Kong-style Fried Fish Balls, Japanese Bamboo Wheel, and Sansha Fish Balls, totaling 10 kinds. In Guangdong, the Chaoshan Fish Ball is quite well-known, while on television, especially in Hong Kong dramas, Hong Kong Fish Ball frequently appears. Fuzhou Fish Balls, Wenzhou Fish Balls, these are like the elders among fish balls, having been around for many years.
In terms of preparation, they can be divided into solid fish balls and stuffed fish balls.
Solid fish balls simply require shaping the fish paste into a ball the size of a ping-pong ball.
As for stuffed fish balls, once the filling is prepared, they are wrapped like a dumpling, with fish paste encasing the filling to form a ball. This is a special technique in making fish balls, truly the skill among skills.
And whether it’s stuffed or solid fish balls, the complete guide to fish ball recipes provided by the system includes all of them.
This reward.
It’s quite generous!
Not bad, not bad!
However, what’s even more surprising is coming up next.
