As the sunlight gently spilled over everything in the world through the light, fresh mist, the Delicious Restaurant also welcod its morning market.
The doors are open for business!
The neighbors at the front of the queue have already placed their orders with Ding Suqin.
All of them unanimously ordered the new soup dumplings and wontons.
At this mont, they each found a seat inside the restaurant, eagerly waiting for the food to arrive.
But the overflowing aromas in the restaurant, like a divine air, wafted into their nostrils.
Slling these enticing aromas, any suppressed cravings completely broke down at this mont, all being stirred up.
Moreover, missing out on Huang Tao’s cooking for two consecutive als yesterday made them even more unbearably hungry!
"Ah~ This sll, it’s so fragrant! It makes even hungrier..."
"Boss Huang, I can sll the aroma of the soup dumplings and wontons, could you serve them quickly?"
"This sll, I can’t take it anymore. Boss Huang, please hurry up, I feel so itchy all over, like there are hundreds of ants crawling in my bones!"
"Ah, I can’t take it anymore. Boss Huang, please quickly serve the basket of soup dumplings and wontons I ordered!"
As they spoke!
Their mouths watered, constantly swallowing saliva.
Their hearts were really suffering!
Each of them looked longingly in the direction of the kitchen.
"Don’t worry, the wontons are ready. They’ll be served to you right away!"
Just as he said that, Huang Tao ladled the wontons from the pot into bowls of soup one by one.
"Swish!"
A group of people imdiately stood up, including Old Qin.
Then, as if they had planned it, they rushed towards the kitchen one after another to grab the food they ordered.
These neighbors were really pushed to their limits by Huang Tao!
We might as well do it ourselves!
The scene...
Reminded Huang Tao of the days at grandma’s house raising pigs.
He, Huang Tao, is the best feeder!
The custors still ordering and queuing weren’t surprised; if it were them, they would do the sa.
They hoped these neighbors wouldn’t be too greedy, to leave so for them to try the new dishes.
The neighbors who got their food returned to their seats.
Old Qin looked down at the bowl of wontons in front of him, where a dozen wontons nestled quietly in the thick broth. The glistening skin was thin and translucent, with the at filling faintly visible inside.
The look of it...
Was truly beyond words!
So seaweed and shrimp floated atop the bowl, with a few green chopped scallions scattered about.
The colors were incredibly enticing!
Scooping up a spoonful of broth, he blew on it a few tis and sent it into his mouth.
The delicious taste instantly awakened all his taste buds, the feeling of joy spreading through his body.
He then picked up a wonton, as delicate as unblemished jade, pursed his lips on the corner of its thin skin, and sucked hard...
The tender, smooth skin slid into his mouth at once.
In an instant...
The umami spread throughout the mouth, the soft and slick texture making his whole body feel delightfully limp.
Swallowing the skin, he gulped down the minced at in the spoon, which lted in the mouth, turning into tiny morsels, caressing his taste buds awaiting moisture.
Eating the skin and minced at separately was not enough.
Next, he ate the soup, skin, and at together.
The delicious broth first brought him a sense of delight, the skin left a lingering aroma in his mouth, and the minced at made him crave more.
The chewy shrimp and seaweed made him feel as though swimming in a savory sea of wontons, unable to stop.
After eating a spoonful of soupy wonton, he felt as if he were floating, almost ascending to heaven!
It must be said.
These wontons were truly exceptional!
After savoring them, he began devouring them like a starved beast.
Within monts, he finished the entire bowl of wontons, leaving only half a bowl of flavorful broth.
Not satisfied, he lifted the bowl and drank all the remaining broth in one go.
The tender and smooth at aroma and the clear fragrance of the broth left all his taste buds longing for more, celebrating and jumping on the tip of his tongue.
It was truly unforgettable!
Old Qin gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Boss Huang, your skill is truly amazing!"
"Do you have more of these wontons? Can I have another bowl?"
The other neighbors waiting in line at the self-ordering machine couldn’t hold back anymore.
"Damn it, he actually wants another bowl?!"
"Want another bowl? Sure, go queue up again."
"Right, right, go queue up again. Even if you want seconds, you have to queue!"
And the second-generation rich kids queuing at the door, seeing how these old folks ate, couldn’t help but look forward to it.
"It seems to be quite delicious, after all, expressions don’t lie. The old folks’ eyes lit up at the first bite, I guess the taste must be good."
"Wanting another bowl after finishing one, it seems these wontons are pretty good, I want a bowl too."
"It’ll be our turn soon, we should be able to eat so."
And Li Chengzhan, looking at Old Qin from a distance, apologized, "Elder Qin, I’m sorry, but you’ll have to queue outside!"
Old Qin glanced outside.
Wow, can’t even see the end of the line.
Even if you rejoin the queue, it’s no longer possible to buy more!
Old Qin felt a bit of regret, wishing he’d ordered another serving sooner.
But thankfully, he still had a basket of soup dumplings.
Just as he was lost in thought!
The soup dumplings were placed on the table by Li Chengzhan.
Old Qin gazed at the soup dumplings, with their skin as white as jade, and under the light, the at filling seed to appear and disappear.
You could even see the soup flowing around the at filling!
This color and aroma...
made Old Qin can’t help but silently give a nod of approval in his heart to Huang Tao’s skill.
He lightly waved a folding fan, smiling as he asked, "Boss Huang, do you have any straws?"
"Yes!"
Huang Tao was slightly surprised, then imdiately called out to Li Chengzhan not far away, "Chengzhan, go to the counter and get a reed for Elder Qin!"
"Wow, Boss Huang, you really know your stuff!"
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared in Old Qin’s eyes: "It seems you’re not just a chef, but also a gourt!"
Huang Tao gave him a faint smile and continued to focus on his culinary endeavors.
Following the instruction, Li Chengzhan quickly ran to the counter and brought back a bundle of reeds.
Handing one to Old Qin, he placed the rest in the chopstick holder.
So that if soone needed one, they could take it themselves.
"Thank you!"
Old Qin thanked him as he took the reed.
He glanced at the soup dumpling lying quietly on the plate, then picked up the plate and shook it gently from side to side, watching the broth within the skin ripple lightly.
The skin was very thin, with a feeling that it might break at the slightest touch.
In fact, no matter how hard you shook it, the broth inside wouldn’t spill out.
After gently placing the plate back on the table, he took the slender reed and punctured the tip of the soup dumpling.
At the mont of the puncture...
he distinctly felt a bit of resilience coming from the other end of the reed.
Unexpectedly, the stead skin still retained enough elasticity.
"This is truly unimaginable..."
He couldn’t help but lightly shake his folding fan, marveling quietly, while the sound of others in the neighborhood starting their als reached his ears.
He didn’t wait any longer!
He bent his head down and bit onto the reed, taking a gentle sip.
A burst of incredibly rich broth surged into his mouth through the reed.
The broth was very savory and refreshing, not greasy at all!
After finishing the broth, he picked up his chopsticks and lifted the soup dumpling.
His movents were extrely gentle and cautious, fearing that if he used too much force, he might tear it.
But after a few seconds...
he realized that his worries were completely unnecessary.
The skin of the soup dumpling was tender but not mushy.
Even with considerable force, it wouldn’t break.
When he brought it to his mouth and took a small bite, he imdiately realized one thing.
And that is...
Boss Huang’s craftsmanship wasn’t just for looks...
The elastic skin soaked with the savory juices of the filling, the mild and the rich flavors combined effortlessly, without any clash, rather, in complete harmony.
You could say it was
As for the filling.
It was truly astonishing!
One bite felt like biting into not just minced at but a tender strand of at.
Yet, it had none of the stickiness of tendon, instead, it offered the springiness of hand-beaten beef balls!
The flavor of the filling was flawless.
Overall, it was perfect!
It was also the best soup dumpling he’d ever tasted!
After finishing one soup dumpling, he felt an unprecedented satisfaction.
Others felt the sa way.
Old Qin’s slightly clouded eyes involuntarily closed as he savored it in detail: "The broth is rich, smooth, and aromatic. Even if you used a large amount of bones and cooked it for a long ti, the resulting soup wouldn’t compare to this broth. Eating it is more like drinking it. The skin, after kneading, is truly chewy! Only in Boss Huang’s shop can I eat such springy skin."
"At first, I thought the skin was too dazzling and would overshadow the filling’s glow, but it wasn’t until I took a bite of the filling that I clearly understood what a big mistake that thought was! The filling had no excess seasoning, yet it tantalized my taste buds, making my mouth water, greatly shocking my esophagus and stomach lining, reigniting my appetite once more."
"Together with the acidic flavor of vinegar and the slightly sweet savory filling, the combination is indescribably delightful!"
Old Cheng, having eaten two, was finally willing to speak: "Indeed, this is truly irresistible delicacy!"
Having eaten three, Lao Liu contentedly chid in: "Yes! Without exaggeration, no one could resist such deliciousness!"
"As soon as you sip it, the savory broth floods your throat, like parched land being quenched; it’s so refreshing, so rich..."
The expressions of these three were all blissful.
Each of them seed to be floating in the clouds, completely relaxed.
Their hearts felt as if they were soaring through the sky, the feeling of elation making them feel as if they had entered paradise, beyond their own control!
If soone were to slap them right now, they’d probably think it was just destiny giving them a fleeting mont of pain.
The other neighbors, after all, couldn’t quite match Old Qin and Lao Liu. Listening to Old Qin’s sincere and eloquent praises, filled with elaborate expressions, they struggled for a while, ultimately unable to co up with any beautiful phrases, managing only "Delicious," and "So delicious."
