Chapter 585 - 569: The Traffic Police Have Designated West City Old Street as a Regular Congestion Area
Outside the Delicious Restaurant.
The queue doesn’t decrease but instead grows, getting longer and longer.
Especially for those who rush over after work and those who come from afar specifically, they arrive somewhat late but are reluctant to give up, so they queue up anyway.
Hope and persistence are necessary!
What if it comes true?!
Even if they can’t try the two new dishes, there are still other options!
Even if they can’t get those either...
Just a portion of braised meat rice would satisfy the craving!
With such a mindset, the number of people lining up only increases, stretching from the door of Delicious Restaurant to the entrances of other nearby restaurants.
Leaving a trail of envious shop owners.
But there’s nothing they can do about it.
Even the employees of their own shops, when off duty, go to buy food from Huang Tao’s place.
Of course.
The shop owners aren’t exceptions either.
They also sneak over to Huang Tao’s restaurant for a meal to satisfy their cravings.
After all, the food Huang Tao makes is genuinely delicious, consistently staying that way.
Yet their own food, though made according to the same recipe daily, somehow lacks stable flavor. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Alas!
Boss Huang’s cooking skills are just off the charts!
The sushi shop owner is already numb to it.
Like a deity, that’s how it is!
With nothing else to do, they can only watch, waiting for Huang Tao’s business to finish before trying to attract any missed customers.
Wang Zhoubin and Sun Linhai, two traffic policemen, are currently maintaining order on the street.
The traffic police team has designated this West City Old Street as a regular congestion spot, arranging personnel to rotate here daily.
Recently, this street has become the favorite duty spot for the officers.
No doubt!
They have their little plans in mind!
Once their shift ends, they can conveniently go to Delicious Restaurant for a meal.
And Boss Huang is particularly kind, knowing they’re on duty here, he always sets aside two portions of braised meat rice for them.
It’s simply wonderful.
Therefore!
Everyone is eager to get on duty here, competing to come.
The customers queuing at the door show more patience than a fisherman, displaying an attitude of not leaving until the last moment.
They’re still standing in line according to order, some playing on their phones, others chatting, the men not fearing the wind, while the female customers shield themselves with hats, braving the cold wind, which shows their love for the dishes of Delicious Restaurant!
Waiting naturally brings impatience, but the enticing aroma and the lure of new dishes make them unwilling to leave, only to return to the monotonous company cafeteria or other restaurants.
Since some dishes aren’t suitable for takeaway, many customers choose to dine in, causing a slow table turnover inside.
Fortunately, the food comes out quickly, and customers leave without lingering when finished, making way for those waiting.
Thus, the queue keeps moving forward.
Finally, it’s Luo Meisheng and their turn, as impatience starts creeping in.
"Meisheng, Yuanshan, it’s our turn, let’s go in..."
Luo Meili smiles as she invites her sister and brother-in-law into the restaurant.
Once inside, Luo Meili finds a four-person seat and sits down.
"I have to say, this place is quite spacious,"
Ye Yuanshan remarks as he glances around the place.
Although it’s not as good as outside restaurants, it’s still decent.
It looks very clean.
His impression of the small eateries on this Old Street is that they’re cramped, with blackened tables and walls, making even the best of meals unappetizing.
He’s a bit of a neat freak, so he values a good dining environment very much.
Fortunately, the environment here at Delicious didn’t disappoint him.
Luo Meisheng is also satisfied, noticing the decent environment with air conditioning, and the tables and chairs appear quite clean, accompanied by the alluring aroma of dishes.
But whether the taste matches the delicious smell remains to be seen!
However...
Seeing other customers enjoy their meals with such pleasure, the taste must be quite satisfying.
Luo Meili picked up her phone to scan the code and saw that there was only one portion left of the Wensi Tofu and Nine-Turned Large Intestine, these two new dishes. She decisively placed the order while also asking Luo Meisheng and his wife what dishes they wanted to eat.
"Sister, brother-in-law, we’re lucky today, we came across some new delicious dishes. I’ve already ordered these two new ones, why don’t you take a look and see what you’d like to eat and order it yourself?"
As she spoke, she handed over the phone to the couple, wanting them to make a choice.
Luo Meisheng didn’t quite catch his sister’s excitement about getting the new dishes. She said plainly, "We’re not familiar with this restaurant, so we don’t know what’s good or not, you go ahead and order."
"Alright, I’ll order then!"
After selecting a few main dishes, Luo Meili placed the order.
While waiting for the food, Liu Meiqi kept peeking toward the kitchen.
That’s right.
She was looking for the rumored "handsome shop owner"!
And then she spotted the most outstanding guy in the kitchen, and was convinced it was Huang Tao.
Don’t ask why.
If you must know, it’s because he’s the most handsome and has the best vibe!
Her gaze seemed almost glued to Huang Tao’s face.
Unfortunately, it was a bit far. Otherwise, she would definitely snap a photo of the owner’s stunning looks to flaunt on social media.
Let her classmates, who have always craved Boss Huang’s cooking, be envious. Now she could enjoy the meals made by Boss Huang too.
They waited for quite a while.
The dishes were gradually served.
The Honeyed Ham, oil-braised prawns, Dongpo Pork, crispy fried pork rings, Wensi Tofu, Nine-Turned Large Intestine, roast duck, and more, all looked incredibly tempting together, just as good as the typical restaurant orders they were used to.
Liu Meiqi looked at this table full of beautifully presented, fragrant, and tasty food, so captivating that she didn’t even look at Huang Tao anymore.
Who needs eye candy!
How could it compare to this table of delicious food!
Just like any young person these days, she let the camera eat first once the dishes arrived, snapping a shot and posting it on her social media.
Beautiful Girl Qiqi: Today, I came to West City Old Street with mom and aunt and uncle to eat at So Delicious Restaurant~ This place that’s always trending online and featured twice in the "Food and Beauty" magazine. Everyone praises it for being delicious. We were lucky to buy two of the restaurant’s new dishes just out for lunch... Wensi Tofu and Nine-Turned Large Intestine, these dishes are so beautiful that it feels a shame to start eating them! Pic.jpg.
Looking at the thousands of hair-thin strands sinking and floating in the bowl, like a blooming chrysanthemum, Luo Meili couldn’t help but exclaim, "This tender tofu can be sliced so finely, the chef’s knife skills are truly unbelievable!"
Xu Meiqi laughed and said, "Not only are the knife skills impressive, but it’s also so pretty that it’s almost a shame to eat it."
Luo Meisheng and Luo Meili both chuckled at her words and agreed with her sentiments.
Though it looked beautiful, they couldn’t resist tasting it.
The timing for the Wensi Tofu was perfectly controlled.
The tofu slices melted in the mouth with a smooth and tender texture, and the broth was light yet rich, leaving a lingering taste.
When Ye Yuanshan met with business partners, he often dined in renowned restaurants.
But such delicious Wensi Tofu, it was his first time tasting it!
It was much tastier than those other ones that cost hundreds per bowl!
There’s no denying, the chef truly has skill, harmonizing the seasonings and ingredients perfectly.
Impressive!
Delicious!
This place deserves frequent visits!
All four silently savored their meal, expressions thoroughly enjoying it.
Thanks to the delicious Wensi Tofu, they felt even more anticipation for the other dishes.
As the four ate the other dishes, they shared their impressions and flavors with each other, and then started chatting about family matters, occasionally sipping on mung bean milk, feeling particularly relaxed.
Luo Meisheng and Ye Yuanshan, who had been stressed for days, felt more at ease and understood a lot more.
They realized that Ye Wen’s lack of urgency wasn’t out of reluctance to date or get married, but because she wanted to find someone truly worthy of entrusting her life with, not just anyone who would fulfill her parents’ expectations of marriage. The former could ensure a lifetime of happiness, while the latter might guarantee parental satisfaction at the expense of her own disdain.
Comparing the two, the child’s happiness was more important.
Only a happy marriage is the best destination for anyone.
Moreover, they didn’t want to see their daughter rush into marriage just to fulfill their wishes.
After all, their child’s marriage couldn’t be rushed by their urging. She needed to meet and identify the right person who truly matched her for life.
Marriage belongs to her; she knows best what she needs.
So!
They decided to trust their child, communicate more with her, and listen to her thoughts instead of insisting on her conforming to their wishes.
With that in mind, the two elders were relieved.
Every child has their own fortune, let her take her own course, and when she finds someone she likes, even if they don’t push, she will be eager to marry.
By that time, they can help look out!
It’s just that!
They were wondering whose pig would eventually snatch away their little cabbage?
