In Lijiang University.
So students without classes were originally surrendering to the cold weather, not lining up early at the Delicious Restaurant, but instead hiding in their dorms watching soap operas or playing gas.
Now that every dish at the Delicious Restaurant has increased in portion size, even if they go a bit late to queue, they can still buy a al to fill their stomachs.
For example, braised chicken leg rice or braised chicken wing rice.
However, this comfort was completely shattered by the news that the Delicious Restaurant would be launching new roast chicken and braised pork rice dishes at noon.
Whether it was students who were eagerly watching soap operas just monts ago, or those passionately gaming, they all suddenly felt that soap operas or gas were no longer appealing at all!
Then everyone adopted the attitude that while soap operas and gas have their value, both can be forsaken for new dishes.
One by one, they all unwittingly walked quickly out of the dorm buildings.
Talking and laughing, they headed toward the school gate.
If you get close enough, you could hear words like "Delicious Restaurant," "roast chicken," and "braised pork rice" from their mouths.
In the classroom.
Students still in class, as lunchti approached, took advantage of monts when the teacher was looking down at the textbook to sneakily check their phones in the drawers, habitually clicking on the Delicious Restaurant’s official Weibo account to take a look.
After all, Boss Huang often held unexpected events.
You wouldn’t know unless you looked...
Upon looking, they were completely shocked.
There really was a new product!
And not just one!
Suddenly, they were delighted.
It’s just that thinking about how they were still in class, and when they could finally go, the food might be sold out by then.
According to Boss Huang’s style, the portions of the new dishes in their first serving were not large.
Moreover, everyone has the ntality to be the first to try sothing new, causing those at the back of the line to miss out.
Sigh!
Students still in class had it rough!
Their regret and frustration, lanting why they couldn’t control their impulses to check Weibo, instantly ruined their mood.
Resigned, they quietly took out their phones in the drawers, opened the campus forum to vent their grievances, and sought sympathetic friends to silently share their feelings with.
In the office.
Lin Zhibo and the others were still busy wrapping up work and had no ti to glance at their phones.
They were completely unaware of this news.
But the door to the manager’s office suddenly opened...
Only to see Manager Hu Jinlin walking briskly out, heading toward their workspace with a smile, asking them, "It’s almost eleven o’clock, have you all finished your morning tasks?"
Lin Zhibo and Zhou Hong looked up and exchanged glances for a few seconds.
Clearly, they didn’t understand what Hu Jinlin ant by this.
Hmm, could it be...the manager wants them to stay and work overti later?
Though they guessed this inwardly, their faces did not show it.
Lin Zhibo just smiled and truthfully replied, "Manager, my tasks here are all done."
Zhou Hong and the others followed suit, saying, "Yes, Manager, all my tasks are completed too."
Hu Jinlin listened and nodded with satisfaction, first praising the efficiency of his subordinates, saying, "Not bad, not bad, you all are quite efficient!"
Then, he casually pulled his phone from his pocket and ntioned, "Oh, by the way, have you checked Weibo? My wife just ssaged saying that the Delicious Restaurant is launching new braised pork rice and roast chicken at noon!"
"What? The Delicious Restaurant is launching new braised pork rice and roast chicken at noon!!!"
This group of people imdiately started shouting in the workspace.
The reason they acted so openly is that they knew Hu Jinlin well, plus he had been lenient with them during this period.
Everyone often ate at the Delicious Restaurant, and they knew how rare these new dishes were.
The flavor surely wouldn’t disappoint.
After all, there were previous successes with roast duck and other braised rice dishes!
Zhou Hong asked tentatively, "Boss Huang’s new braised pork rice and roast chicken must taste great. Manager, how about when we go to buy food later, if we manage to get so braised pork rice and roast chicken, we bring a portion for you and your wife too?"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes turned toward Hu Jinlin, full of expectation.
"Sure, then I’ll trouble all of you."
Hu Jinlin took the hint and said cheerfully, "Since you’ve all finished your work, you can go get lunch now. The braised pork rice and roast chicken are rare, but this won’t be repeated..."
"Yes! Thank you, Manager, you’re wise!"
Everyone cheered happily while imdiately rolling dice in the group chat to choose lucky ones to go together to buy food.
Heading over roughly half an hour early, they felt confident about managing a portion of braised pork rice and roast chicken.
They were quite confident.
Hu Jinlin returned to his office, ssaging his dear wife that if they bought so, they’d deliver it to her and enjoy it together.
Over at the West City Police Station.
Ge Jingyi saw the ssage from her mom, saying she heard from the Delicious Restaurant’s Weibo account that there’s an upcoming launch of roast chicken and braised pork rice at noon, and just looking at the pictures, it seed like it would taste extraordinary, asking if she’d like a portion of braised pork rice.
Coincidentally, her choir practice had just ended, and she was already in line at the Delicious Restaurant, planning to deliver it if she managed to buy so.
Thinking that she herself was busy and had no ti to queue up.
If she waited until off-duty, it was likely she’d miss out, so she imdiately agreed to her mother’s suggestion.
[Jingyi]: Sure, please buy one too, and deliver it to the station. Let’s eat together!
[Jingyi]: Mom, it’s so nice to have you.
Xu Jiaohong, looking at her daughter’s ssage, couldn’t help but reveal a joyful smile.
Such words of warmth, she hadn’t heard from her daughter in many years...
...
In the Delicious Restaurant.
Ding Suqin and Li Chengzhan brought out the roast chicken and braised pork rice, photographed by Huang Tao, to the dining table.
Huang Tao had also prepared a few other dishes.
Everyone started eating.
All of their first chopsticks instinctively reached for the roast chicken, dipping a piece into the sauce before eating it, then sighing with satisfaction.
The waxy skin with tender at had an exceptional texture.
First, a layer of crispy barbecue flavor hit their taste buds, followed by the firm yet tender at texture.
Sweet first, then savory, perfectly balanced.
Chewing carefully, they could feel the juices bursting from the chicken.
"Wow, this roast chicken is delicious! The marinade is so flavorful that you can even taste it in the juice inside, and the at is particularly firm and tender. It’s a delicacy for roast chicken aficionados!"
Li Chengzhan praised, as he really loved barbecue foods.
Although roast duck was tasty too, this roast chicken also perfectly hit his taste buds.
Others nodded in agreent, sincerely rather than perfunctorily.
Huang Tao felt a bit puzzled.
He thought he had made two new dishes, how co he hadn’t completed a hidden task?
He was utterly perplexed!
