Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 291 - 282: The Red, Yellow, and Green Delinquents
A little past five o’clock.
Huang Tao and the employees had all filled their bellies.
Then everyone took their positions.
The doors opened for business.
The nine rich kids at the front of the line rushed in first.
They headed straight for the self-service ordering machine.
Shao Yuqiao rubbed his hands together, anxiously saying, "Quick, quick, quick, help me order a nourishing fish soup, honeyed ham, roast duck, and yellow croaker noodles. The cold northwest wind has me feeling chilled to the bone; I need to replenish myself well."
Lin Anan nodded in agreement: "This damn weather is getting colder and colder. Even with a windbreaker, I can feel the chill seeping into my pants. But as long as I can eat the delicious food at Boss Huang’s restaurant, this bit of cold is nothing!"
"Exactly!"
Liang Lu Yang agreed, nodding firmly: "I’d rather take cold medicine than live a day without So Delicious’ dishes!"
As they talked, Ma Junwen, who was in charge of ordering, stood in front of the self-service machine, lightly swiping its screen.
As he swiped.
He noticed a new dish on the machine: a three-in-one stewed flavor rice, small plate for 50 yuan, large plate for 55 yuan.
His eyes lit up with excitement: "Wow, Boss Huang came out with a three-in-one stewed flavor rice tonight! Is it a combination of the previous stewed pork trotter rice, stewed chicken leg rice, and stewed chicken wing rice?"
"Junwen, congratulations, you guessed right."
Li Chengzhan, temporarily responsible for serving, heard it, smiled, and nodded at his friend, then transformed into a competent waiter to explain: "The three-in-one stewed flavor rice comes in large and small plates. The large plate has slightly more rice than the small one, but the portion of stewed chicken wings, legs, and pork trotter is the same as ordering them individually. Also, the vegetable portion is the same, but the stewed egg is slightly different, with only half."
"Chengzhan and I already tasted it for you, and the flavor of the three-in-one stewed flavor rice is super good, super satisfying," Lin Qiuyu recalled.
Oh!
Another day of envying the three old pals~
Every time the restaurant releases a new dish, they get to taste it first. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Unlike us, who not only have to come early to line up but also endure the cold wind.
They looked at Li Chengzhan and Lin Qiuyu with eyes full of envy!
Seeing those envious, jealous eyes, a content, proud smile quietly bloomed on Li Chengzhan and Lin Qiuyu’s faces.
Ah~
Being envied by brothers feels so damn great...
But it only lasts a few seconds.
Soon, Ma Junwen and the others were focused on the three-in-one stewed flavor rice again.
"Junwen, order a large plate of the three-in-one stewed flavor rice for me!"
"I’ll have a large plate too; I want to try it!"
"A whole chicken wing, a whole chicken leg, a whole stewed pork trotter! It sounds so satisfying; I’ll have one too."
The nine rich kids each ordered a large three-in-one stewed flavor rice, along with braised prawns, crab fried cakes, Dongpo Pork, a serving of honeyed ham, a whole roast duck, and either nourishing fish soup or fish ball soup.
Oh man!
Aren’t they afraid of bursting?
Huang Yide saw this and kindly reminded them, "You’ve ordered so much, you won’t finish it all."
Ma Junwen waved his hand dismissively and said, "No worries, if we can’t finish it, we can pack it up for a late-night snack. But we can’t risk not having enough to eat!"
Shao Yuqiao laughed and said, "Mr. Huang, let me tell you, we’ve prepared ourselves for leaving this place holding onto the walls."
Huang Yide: "..."
What else could he say? He could only let them be~
After all, his son’s cooking is truly fragrant and delicious.
No one can resist!
Ever since he tasted his son’s cooking, Huang Yide instantly understood the feelings of these customers.
Because he shares the same thoughts, the same feelings!
And the customers waiting to order behind them, upon hearing about the three-in-one stewed flavor rice,
"This is amazing! Ever since I had stewed pork trotter rice, stewed chicken leg rice, and stewed chicken wing rice, I’ve been agonizing over which to eat for lunch and dinner every day. Now I no longer have to choose, just go for the three-in-one stewed flavor rice, and all my worries are solved."
"While waiting in line, I struggled for so long, whether to have stewed chicken leg rice or stewed chicken wing rice, or stewed pork trotter rice for dinner. It was almost a dilemma of a happy afternoon, and who would’ve thought Boss Huang would release a new three-in-one stewed flavor rice tonight! The portions are the same as before, so it must be particularly satisfying to eat!"
"Luckily, Boss Huang released the three-in-one stewed flavor rice; otherwise, I’d be stressed out every day."
"Oh my god! It’s amazing this three-in-one stewed flavor rice came out so quickly! Didn’t expect to come across it, but I’m glad I did. Now I get to taste this deliciousness for the first time."
Most of the customers ordering later were excitedly choosing the three-in-one stewed flavor rice.
Of course.
There were also some customers who particularly wanted to eat the stewed pork trotter rice or stewed chicken wings, or stewed chicken leg rice.
They stuck to buying just one separately, as before.
The customers dining in the restaurant, after getting their orders, started to immerse themselves in their meal.
Huang Tao, seeing how popular the three-in-one stewed flavor rice was, was delighted too.
In just a short while, all one hundred servings of the three-in-one stewed flavor rice prepared had sold out.
Originally, they wouldn’t have sold out so fast, but some customers, worried that a large plate wouldn’t be filling enough, ordered a small plate as well, causing the stock to rapidly deplete.
"Damn! I was just about to order a large three-in-one stewed flavor rice, and now it’s gone? Even the small plates are gone!"
"Boss Huang, can you prepare more of the three-in-one stewed flavor rice next time? I haven’t even gotten to try it yet! It’s all sold out."
"That’s right; it wouldn’t have been nearly enough even doubling the amount. This three-in-one stewed flavor rice must be satisfying to eat."
"Boss Huang, can’t you supply it in limited quantities? There’s already so little, and some people are buying two servings at once. The people behind don’t get any at all!"
"Exactly! Missing out feels really frustrating!"
"..."
The customers who didn’t manage to buy any were feeling quite defeated.
Huang Tao helplessly explained, "Today’s launch of the three-in-one stewed flavor rice was a spontaneous decision, so the quantity wasn’t large. Once the restaurant renovations are done, production will increase starting next week."
Upon hearing this from Huang Tao, everyone calmed down.
No more three-in-one stewed flavor rice.
But at least there’s still stewed chicken wing rice and stewed chicken leg rice.
They’re also delicious!
But not long after...
"What? The stewed chicken wing rice is sold out too?"
"Damn, even the stewed chicken leg rice is almost gone!"
"Holy moly! I’d better quickly order another stewed chicken leg rice."
"I’ll take two stewed chicken leg rice."
Then...
The stewed chicken leg rice also sold out completely.
Luckily, you can still get yellow croaker noodles, crab fried cakes, and lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs, which are also good.
Now, these main dishes became the hot items.
At this moment.
Three young men, about nineteen or twenty, walked into the restaurant.
Each dressed in a flashy manner.
Wearing stud earrings.
Their hair dyed red, yellow, and green, resembling a traffic light.
Clearly misfits.
