"Burp~"
Li Yuanfu had just eaten West Lake Vinegar Fish, Honeyed Ham, braised prawns, roast duck, crispy fried silk, a small bowl of Dongpo Pork, a small bowl of nourishing fish soup, and a large bowl of Yellow Croaker Noodles...
Without realizing it, he had overindulged a bit.
He rested his head against the chair’s backrest, his arms supported on the armrests.
No way around it!
He was so full that he couldn’t stand up without taking it slow!
As he tried to alleviate the fullness, he regretfully said, "I feel like I haven’t had enough, yet I’m already stuffed."
"It’s really too delicious. Boss Huang, your skills are truly... unmatched!"
At this mont, he finally understood why his son was so determined to work as a waiter in this restaurant.
Not even nine oxen could pull him away!
However, he had to admit, the kid was smart~
Getting hired as a waiter ant he could have early access to the delicious als served at the restaurant every day.
As for doing so work, what did it matter?
As long as he got als in return, he was willing to work every day!
At this mont, he suddenly felt a bit envious of his son!
After all, he worked like a dog every day, yet couldn’t enjoy such delicious als!
Jiang Zhouming was equally stuffed.
He rubbed his increasingly round belly and exclaid, "Yeah, with so many dishes, each one was delicious with its unique flavor; it’s just too blissful! It’s the first ti I’ve felt that eating is such a joyous thing!"
The other family mbers at the table, leaning back in their chairs, holding their stomachs, all shared the sa thought.
They nodded in agreent.
They all felt that tonight’s al was the best they ever had, even better than the Michelin three-star restaurant Juwei Residence’s imperial cuisine they had previously tasted!
Li Chengzhan, listening nearby, laughed and remarked, "Dad, Uncle, I’ve been eating at the restaurant for so ti now, and I still feel the sa way. This is just the beginning for you!"
"You haven’t even tried my boss’s pan-fried buns, sesa dumplings, fried dumplings, and all the different flavors of braised rice yet! They’re all incredibly delicious too."
"You haven’t had the preserved egg and lean at congee or the Eight Treasure Congee either!"
The family mbers hearing this started craving again.
They quickly interrupted Li Chengzhan to stop him from continuing, "Stop it, Xiao Zhan, we can’t eat anymore, and the more we hear, the more unbearable it becos."
The thought of how hard it would be to have such a delicious al again once they returned made everyone show a pained expression.
No way!
They had to co back for another al tomorrow.
No, make that two als.
One in the morning, one at noon.
They decided to try everything they hadn’t tasted yet in one go and eat to their heart’s content!
Originally, they had instructed their assistants to book hotels in the area before coming.
After finishing the birthday banquet, they planned to stay the night and return to Jiang City after breakfast at the hotel the next morning.
But now.
They all changed their minds without exception.
Not only did they plan to have breakfast here, but they also postponed their return to Jiang City to have another lunch.
In the past, for the two big figures, Li Yuanfu and Jiang Zhouming, ti was money; every second was currency input for them.
Spending any ti or effort on sothing as trivial as eating was simply unthinkable.
But now, they’d changed their schedule for the first ti just to eat another al cooked by Huang Tao.
If the company employees knew their bosses had changed plans just for a little restaurant on West City Old Street...
It would probably blow their annual shock capacity.
anwhile, Jiang Qihang realized he had been too focused on eating and hadn’t interacted with his live stream audience.
Glancing up at the screen full of comnts, he gave a thumbs up and said, "This restaurant deserves a perfect score from ! Not coming to eat here at least once in life would be a decision you’d regret forever."
Hearing this, the live stream boiled over again.
"Whoa, is Hang’s rating this high?"
"Hang, you need to restrain yourself, stay calm. You’re making so anxious! I’m in the Beautiful Country and can’t just fly over there right now!"
"Everything Hang says is true. Missing out on Boss Huang’s cooking isn’t just regretful; it’s life-long regret!"
"Hang, can you tell us in more detail? Just how delicious is it? I need to weigh if it’s worth flying there to eat."
Jiang Qihang smacked his lips, savoring the taste, and said, "I’m not a food critic, but I’ve tried many delicacies. If I had to describe it..."
"Let’s put it this way, on my 18th birthday, my dad invited a National Banquet Chef to cook for my birthday party. They prepared famous dishes from various cuisines, including his signature Honeyed Ham."
"But I think the Honeyed Ham made by the National Banquet Chef isn’t as good as Boss Huang’s."
"Even inviting all the chefs who specialize in Zhejiang Cuisine wouldn’t reach this level!"
"In my opinion, not coming to this restaurant at least once makes life incomplete."
"Alright, it’s getting late, so I’ll end tonight’s live stream here."
Seeing his family mbers stand up ready to leave after soothing their full stomachs, Jiang Qihang quickly said goodbye to his live stream audience.
And then he ended the broadcast.
Before leaving, Li Yuanfu and the others all shook hands with Huang Tao and expressed that they’d co back to try more of the restaurant’s dishes tomorrow.
What could Huang Tao say?
He could only express his welco!
Tonight’s feast was satisfying for both sides.
Li Yuanfu and the others enjoyed a birthday banquet with the most delicious food of their lives, while Huang Tao received a handso fee for the private event.
Both were very happy about this.
Li Yuanfu and the others waved goodbye to Huang Tao with a smile and said, "See you tomorrow morning."
"Goodbye."
Huang Tao watched Li Yuanfu and the others walk out of the restaurant.
Huang Tao looked over at Li Chengzhan and asked, "Chengzhan, aren’t you leaving with them?"
This evening, Li Chengzhan was also a guest; he should have left with his family.
Li Chengzhan scratched his head and said, "I’ll head back after cleaning up."
Huang Tao smiled and gently patted Li Chengzhan on the shoulder, "Thanks for your hard work."
After all the employees finished tidying up, Huang Tao closed the shop.
"Thanks for your hard work tonight, Jiang Chao, Chengzhan, Qi Yu. Be careful on your way ho."
Feeling they worked late tonight, he looked gratefully at his staff, who had no complaints, and instructed Li Chengzhan and the other two who lived nearby, "Suqin, Zifeng, Xu Hao, take a cab ho tonight, I’ll cover the fare."
"No need, no need."
Xu Hao and Lin Zifeng quickly waved it off, "There’s a tro station nearby, it’s very convenient for us to take the tro ho."
Ding Suqin also declined, "There are still buses at this hour, I can just take the bus ho."
Huang Tao shook his head, "What tro or bus at this hour! Just take a cab, I’ve already said I’ll reimburse the fare, no need to save money for ."
Just then a taxi drove by and stopped nearby to drop off a passenger.
Huang Tao waved the taxi over.
"Boss Huang, perfect timing! Do you need a ride? Where to? I’ll take you," the window rolled down, and Lin Jingsong poked his head out with a smile.
"Jingsong, it’s you!"
Huang Tao recognized Lin Jingsong imdiately, smiled, and said, "You’re just in ti, please do a favor and give my three employees a ride ho."
"Sure thing, no problem!" Lin Jingsong readily agreed.
Huang Tao leaned forward and said, "I’ll transfer the money to you via WeChat later."
"No need, just save a few pan-fried buns and so Eight Treasure Congee for tomorrow morning." Lin Jingsong waved it off.
"Alright!"
Huang Tao nodded in agreent, watching as Ding Suqin and the others got on Lin Jingsong’s cab and left.
After seeing off Li Chengzhan and the others, Huang Tao went to the parking area and got in his car.
It was ti for him to go ho!
He thought about the little one and the two elders waiting for him at ho, and a yearning for ho instantly filled his heart.
His foot pressed a bit harder on the gas pedal.
Hmm.
Who knows if the little one has fallen asleep yet...
