Seeing Huang Tao and others moving various stainless steel barrels to the So Delicious booth.
The eyes of the custors in line instantly lit up like light bulbs.
"Boss Huang! Why are you only just arriving? I specially brought guests for you, waiting for your fish ball soup as breakfast! How could you have the heart to let us wait until we’re nearly skinny?"
"Boss, hurry up, we’re just waiting for your stuff! You don’t know, my little granddaughter now won’t eat anything from other stores except yours!"
"Exactly, my grandson was flatly refusing to go to kindergarten in the morning. When asked why, he said there wasn’t tasty fish ball soup at kindergarten. So here I am, queuing early to buy it for him. Boss Huang, you need to make fish ball soup quickly, my grandson loves it."
"I ca here last night but couldn’t buy any, so I went to the International Hotel’s booth and bought two portions of "Dragon Surging the Seas" to fill my belly. They tasted alright, but nothing like the deliciousness of your cooking, Boss Huang! Tomorrow’s the last day of the food festival, what am I going to do once you’re gone?"
"Indeed, it’s not an exaggeration. I also couldn’t buy anything last night, so I went next door to Taste mory’s booth and bought so grilled abalone and squid. Suddenly I found my favorite grilled abalone and squid weren’t tasty anymore... couldn’t eat them at all!"
Ma Qingxiong from International Hotel and Old Qian from Taste mory were in tears...
Huang Tao looked at the long line ford in front of the booth, and at several kids nibbling their fingers hungrily, and reassured them with a smile, "Everyone, please be patient! I just got here and haven’t moved the food in yet. Please wait a while, we’ll get it ready as soon as we’ve set up~"
Just as he finished speaking.
You could hear a few people at the very front volunteering:
"Boss Huang, here, let help you move the ingredients."
"Boss! I’ll help you carry the grill, and maybe roast so duck along the way!"
"Boss, I’ll help serve the braised dishes and pack them too!"
"I... will watch the pot for you."
"I’ll give you a shoulder massage!"
"I’ll... I’ll warm your bed."
"Uh... I can’t think of anything else to do, so maybe I’ll help you handle the money, Boss Huang."
"Goodness, how can you be thinking of taking advantage of Boss Huang like that!"
This is getting more and more absurd!
Huang Tao watched this familiar scene unfold, feeling no emotion, even wanting to laugh a bit.
These custors!
Going to such lengths just for a bite to eat...
Nearby other booth chefs and waiters, hearing this, all had expressions of astonishnt, like "strange things happen every year, but especially more this year."
This is the first ti hearing about custors vying to help a vendor with tasks during business?!
This has broken a precedent!
Only Boss Huang could make custors bow so low.
Their shocked expressions slowly transford into little expressions of "used to it."
Ding Suqin and Yan Ming, along with a few employees, heard this and their smiles instantly froze in midair.
Oh my!
Is this the pace of custors wanting to replace them?
If so, wouldn’t they be out of a job~
They were anxious!
Ji smiled widely: "No need, no need, we can do it ourselves, how can we let you custors help?"
"Exactly, exactly, custors are like gods, how can we let gods move stuff and do chores!" Yan Ming laughed cheerfully.
Their words amused the custors.
Since they said that, the custors were too shy to help.
They obediently and quietly stood in line waiting.
While Ding Suqin and others busied themselves with organizing ingredients, Huang Tao moved a standing mobile whiteboard.
With a black marker, he added a new dish to the board.
Fried Fish Balls: 20 yuan a serving.
Just as he was writing, many custors kept their eyes glued to the whiteboard, and seeing the new fried fish balls, their eyes sparkled and faces blossod with smiles.
"Wow, Boss Huang has introduced a new flavor again!"
"When I woke up, my left eyelid kept twitching, I knew sothing good was coming, turns out the good thing is Boss Huang’s new fried fish balls!"
"Boss Huang is impressive, another new product today."
"No need to say more, Boss Huang, give three sticks of fried fish balls to try, and a bowl of fish ball soup, and an order of lotus leaf sticky rice stead ribs, and get all the braised dishes."
"I want fried fish balls too, two sticks, and for other things, just so lotus leaf sticky rice stead ribs, nourishing fish soup, and an order of all braised dishes."
"..."
In no ti at all, custors started ordering loudly.
"Don’t rush, take it one at a ti~" Lin Yuhan smiled slightly, starting to prepare braised dishes for the custors ahead.
Ji then placed pre-prepared duck into the automatic roasting machine to roast.
Huang Tao returned to the booth, starting to steam the lotus leaf sticky rice ribs in the stear.
He looked at the already marinated fish paste, ready to make the new fried fish balls for the custors.
He poured oil into a large pot.
About half a pot of oil was poured in, and heated.
When the oil was seven or eight tenths hot, he used his hand to squeeze the fish paste with his tiger’s mouth into small balls, sliding them into the oil pot.
"Sizzle..."
The mont the fish balls entered the oil pot, they made a sound.
Huang Gao continued squeezing out the fish balls, each nearly identical in size, leaping into the oil pot one after another.
His hands moved extrely fast.
Before long.
The pot was full of milky white fish balls, floating in the oil.
He took up a skimr and slowly turned the fish balls in the pot.
Soon, a dominant aroma spread out,
Slowly, the fish balls turned from milky white to a golden crispy color.
He used the skimr to scoop out the first batch of fish balls, putting them on a wire rack to drain the oil.
Freshly fried, the fish balls were golden and crispy, each exuding a tempting aroma.
While the fish balls were still hot, he sprinkled a layer of chili powder and white sesa...
The custors, teased by the spicy scent of the fish balls, couldn’t help but be eager to taste.
"Slls so good..."
"Yes, it does sll delicious, making my mouth water. Boss, please give my ordered fried fish balls first."
"Boss, I’ve already paid, please give my ordered portion of fried fish balls first..."
"..."
"Alright, don’t worry, one at a ti."
Huang Tao gestured to Ding Suqin beside him, indicating to package the fried fish balls for those who had paid.
An understanding Ding Suqin quickly packaged the fried fish balls for the custors, also placing chili sauce and ketchup prepared in advance in the package for the custors to choose from.
Custors receiving their orders quickly inserted wooden picks into the fish balls.
The exterior of the fish balls was crispy, while the inside was soft and bouncy. With a "pop," the skin of the fish ball was instantly pierced.
"Ah! Ouch, it’s... so hot..." The first custor to receive a portion shoved an entire fish ball into his mouth, almost tearing up from the heat, but reluctant to spit it out, he could only grimace while chewing.
There were a few anxious custors like the first one, their faces turning slightly red as they transferred the fried fish ball around in their mouths, still not forgetting to praise "Delicious, delicious."
Custors who were a bit calr blew on the fish balls first, taking careful small bites, but their speed eating the fried fish balls was still very fast.
Their expressions were full of enjoynt, continuously saying "Delicious, incredible."
