It’s close to eleven o’clock.
Inside Delicious Restaurant, everything is ready.
The employees have already finished their lunches in advance, tidied up, and are in their positions, ready to welco the lunch rush.
As usual, Huang Tao posted photos of the freshly made Deep-Fried Ring Rolls on social dia to increase the official account’s activity:
[Super delicious Delicious Restaurant: New Deep-Fried Ring Rolls available today at noon! Limited quantity, order quickly~ pic.jpg]
In the photo is a large plate filled with round, golden, crispy Deep-Fried Ring Rolls piled in the center of the plate.
On either side of the plate are small dishes, one looking sowhat like sweet bean paste, and the other clearly pepper salt.
The golden color hints at the crispy exterior of the seven-layer tofu skin roll, and the tender at filling inside is vaguely visible.
One can almost imagine the aroma through the screen.
In short, it’s very tempting, it’s very much mouth-watering!
After posting the Weibo, Huang Tao put away his phone, washed his hands, and seriously began the business.
The mont the door opened.
Mr. Cheng and the others at the front hurriedly folded their chairs and tables, their queue entertainnt gadgets, and placed them aside by the door, rushing into the shop without a mont’s delay.
As if they hadn’t eaten in ages.
Not very skilled with the automatic ordering machine, they all crowded to the counter, eagerly ordering from Ding Suqin.
"Qin, quick, give a portion of Crab Fried Rice Cakes, a portion of Deep-Fried Ring Rolls, a portion of Dried Vegetable Braised at, and a Fish Ball Soup. The cold wind outside gave a headache; I need to replenish properly!"
"I’ll have a Deep-Fried Ring Roll, a Chicken Leg al, a Dried Vegetable Braised at, then a bowl of Nutritious Fish Soup. I finally have ti to co and queue today. I haven’t had a full al in days, so I want to order the new Deep-Fried Ring Roll and try all the dishes I haven’t yet. I’m going to eat until I’m full."
Mr. Cheng, looking spirited, said, "Give a bowl of Yellow Croaker Noodles and two servings of Deep-Fried Ring Rolls. I just heard Old Qin go on about how tasty these Deep-Fried Ring Rolls are, and it made crave them. I definitely need two servings to satisfy my cravings now."
No sooner had the words left his mouth.
Cold stares as sharp as knives shot toward Mr. Cheng.
Mr. Cheng’s heart skipped a beat.
Damn, there’s killing intent!
He knew very well that the neighbors were anxious hearing he bought two servings of Deep-Fried Ring Rolls at once.
After all, Boss Huang doesn’t make that many!
They worried that with a few more like him in the queue, they might miss out on the new dish, Deep-Fried Ring Rolls.
But he played dumb, pretending he hadn’t noticed.
Want him to give up the extra serving? No way...
The neighbors, though displeased, had no grounds to complain since Mr. Cheng ordered two servings fair and square.
They could only secretly curse Mr. Cheng for not playing fair.
Lao Liu, in the back, couldn’t help but urge them, "Hey, can you guys just order quickly without chatter? Hurry and find a seat, there are many people still waiting!"
"Exactly, exactly. And Mr. Cheng, don’t go overboard; try one serving to taste, so those behind can have a chance too," Old Qin, rarely siding with his buddy Lao Liu, chid in to express his point.
Mr. Cheng: "..."
You sly fox, Old Qin, taking advantage and still playing coy!
Just wait!
Not one to easily back down, Mr. Cheng responded with a "cross , and I’ll cross you" look, "Old Qin, you’ve already had a sample taste, so don’t order the Deep-Fried Ring Rolls later. Leave so for others."
As soon as he said this, everyone imdiately looked at Old Qin.
Waiting for an answer.
"I..."
Suddenly being confronted, Old Qin was montarily speechless.
Ugh, hoisted by his own petard!
Not ordering is simply impossible. Never gonna happen in this lifeti.
Feigning oblivion, Old Qin lightly waved his folding fan and smiled, "I already promised Boss Huang I’d order another serving of Deep-Fried Ring Rolls during lunch, so I must keep my word to him..."
Finishing his statent, he shook his head, looking helpless.
It’s tough, really tough!
For a single bite, Old Qin dramatically showcased his acting prowess, delivering a performance for the ages.
The neighbors gave him a glance, watching his solo show.
Afterward, they just wanted to wash their eyes!
Those who had ordered quickly went to the seating area, waiting for their al.
Unbeknownst to him being used as a scapegoat by Old Qin, Huang Tao, upon receiving the order slip, started frying the Deep-Fried Ring Rolls.
The kitchen was bustling again.
After these ten or so people finished ordering and found seats, a new batch of custors quickly entered the store.
A chubby middle-aged man stood before the automatic ordering machine, looking at the price of Deep-Fried Ring Rolls. After a mont’s hesitation, he said, sowhat conflicted, "Damn, one serving of Deep-Fried Ring Rolls is 48 yuan! A bit pricey!"
With keen ears, Huang Tao heard this but said nothing.
The 48-yuan price isn’t expensive.
Anywhere else, a plate costs at least 35 yuan, and 38 is a normal price.
Yet their Deep-Fried Ring Roll fillings are machine-made.
Mine is hand-cut filling, not comparable to those.
Plus, other restaurants pre-fry them half-cooked in the morning and refry them when ordered.
Unlike mine, which are freshly made to order.
In freshness and taste, they’re superior to many Deep-Fried Ring Rolls elsewhere.
"Not expensive," Old Qin said with a smile, lightly waving his fan, "Boss Huang’s Deep-Fried Ring Rolls have hand-cut fillings and are freshly fried. They’re not the sa as those others."
"Try them, you’ll see if they’re worth it."
Hearing this, the chubby middle-aged man, conflicted and aggrieved, said, "Mainly, my current al budget is just 60 yuan, it’s tough to decide!"
Near month’s end, living expenses are tight, need to spend wisely.
Otherwise, really will end up broke.
"Hey, do you smoke?" A man behind him lightly patted his shoulder, asking.
The chubby middle-aged man turned and replied, "Yes, why ask?"
"Let give you so advice, quit smoking, you can save a lot daily! Monthly, that’s over a thousand yuan!"
Huh?
You can do that...
The chubby middle-aged man was stunned, then his eyes lit up, "Right, if I quit smoking and put that money towards food, I could have so many dishes!"
"It’s like you awakened ! Brother, thank you!"
Delighted, he quickly tossed his remaining cigarettes into the trash bin, along with his lighter.
The man chuckled, "No worries, I quit smoking myself to enjoy more of Boss Huang’s food; it’s been nearly a month now. Look, I’m full of energy, even gained 4 pounds!"
Those watching were stunned.
"This guy is amazing! He really quit smoking for the food!"
"Boss Huang’s food is that good that people quit decades-old smoking habits for it!"
"I’m quitting too, to save money for food from Boss Huang’s place."
All of a sudden, custors with smoking habits tossed their cigarettes into the trash bins.
Just for one reason!
To have more of Delicious Restaurant’s food.
