Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 341 - 331: VIP Treatment Wherever You Go!

Inside the restaurant, the veteran smokers, eager to have another dish prepared by Huang Tao, suddenly made up their minds to quit smoking, throwing their remaining cigarettes and lighters into a nearby trash can.

Their determination is truly commendable...

Thinking about the money saved from smoking, which could now be spent on more meals at the Delicious Restaurant, their cheerful voices echoed throughout the restaurant: "My happiness is back, I can finally have more of Boss Huang’s dishes..."

This cheerful sound reached Huang Tao’s ears, and while slightly surprised, he couldn’t help but smile gently.

He never imagined that these veteran smoker customers would be willing to quit smoking, something that had been with them for years, just to enjoy more of his culinary delights.

One has to admit, they are really determined!

He chuckled and continued with his work.

Outside the restaurant, Jiang Mingtao, who had been waiting for a long time, was getting a bit impatient.

Oh dear, my old legs...

They’re almost numb!

Oh dear, my old back...

It’s about to break!

At that moment, his long face drooped down, showing impatience.

In his life, he had never had to wait in such a long line!

Everywhere he went, he received VIP treatment!

Who would have thought that he would need to wait in line at this small restaurant, and for several hours at that.

If it weren’t for his father’s firm decision to continue waiting in line, if it weren’t for his father’s refusal to let him call Jiang Chao to arrange a table.

Why would he endure the harsh wind, feeling exhausted?

He reached out to tug on his father Jiang Shouyi’s sleeve, smiling as he asked, "Dad, are you tired? Or maybe..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Shouyi interrupted him.

The father quickly waved his hand and said, "Not tired, not tired."

He thought his son disliked the noisy and bustling queuing environment, so he patted the hand holding his sleeve and said with a smile, "If you’re tired, you and Hongxia can head back first, I’ll bring food for you later."

Great!

Seeking external help was hopeless!

Seeing the expression on his father’s face, Jiang Mingtao realized he misunderstood, and he hurriedly denied, "Dad... that’s not what I meant, I just..."

"Alright, I know what you want to say. If you’re willing to wait with me, then stay and keep waiting." Jiang Shouyi didn’t bother with any more talk.

Seeing that they were almost next in line, he wasn’t about to give up.

Jiang Mingtao conceded reluctantly, "Alright then, I’ll wait with you, it’s just that after being in this cold wind for so long, I don’t really have an appetite anymore."

Hearing this, Jiang Shouyi realized that his son was in a bad mood from standing in line for so long without getting any food, and was feeling grumpy!

He chuckled and said, "Master Huang’s skills are absolutely excellent. This morning’s pan-fried buns were just the right size. The skin was thin and translucent, you could vaguely see the delicious soup and firm filling inside. Sprinkled with chives on the outside, after frying, the aroma lingered for a long time. The dough was soft, and the bottom was fried to a golden, crispy perfection. The filling inside was tender, with a bite, your mouth was full of delicious broth, oh, so tasty..."

Seeing the old man’s face glowing with excitement as he described it, even swallowing unconsciously at the mention of the broth, Jiang Mingtao and Chen Hongxia knew how much their father cherished his image.

"Dad, you make it sound like you’re having Ginseng Fruit..."

Chen Hongxia teased with a comment, and grew even more eager to try the restaurant’s cuisine.

After all, if a little pan-fried bun was this delicious, the rest must be even better.

Jiang Shouyi laughed and replied, "These are much tastier than those flavorless Ginseng Fruits!"

Knowing his father’s temperament, Jiang Mingtao said nothing more, resigned himself, and continued to wait.

Inside the restaurant.

Those who entered first, like Mr. Cheng and the others planning to quit smoking, had already received their orders.

Sitting inside, they were enjoying their meals with satisfaction.

Naturally, the first thing everyone tasted was the new dish... deep-fried crunchy rolls.

When picked up with chopsticks, they made a sound.

Everyone dipped them in their favorite sauces.

With a bite, it made a crackling sound, like the ringing of a bell.

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, fragrant and delicious.

The seasoning wasn’t overpowering.

Delicious!

The taste wasn’t complex, but it was incredibly crispy and fragrant!

Mr. Cheng was full of enjoyment, praising, "This taste is amazing! Boss Huang, your deep-fried crunchy rolls are so good!"

"Boss Huang, your deep-fried crunchy rolls are the best I’ve ever had in my life, unparalleled in the world, not an exaggeration at all," praised the pot-bellied middle-aged man earnestly.

Hearing these words of praise, Huang Tao continued working without pause, looked up with a smile, and said, "Thank you, glad you like it."

Lao Liu commented with a cheerful smile, "Old Qin was right! These deep-fried crunchy rolls are really good, and if we had some wine, it would be even more delightful."

"When have I ever been wrong about food?"

Old Qin lightly shook his folding fan and said with confidence, "This crisp-crusted dish is really a great snack to go with drinks! You all stay here, I’ll go get some wine."

With that, he got up and went to the drinks cabinet to buy some wine.

Everyone started chatting.

"What do you think, how does Boss Huang make it so delicious?"

Granny Li also makes this dish at home during the holidays for good luck.

But the taste compared to Huang Tao’s is worlds apart, like heaven and earth!

Of course, she’s the earth!

"That just proves Boss Huang is no ordinary person. How could an ordinary person make it this good!" Li laughed and shared his opinion.

"It just shows how skilled Boss Huang is!" Lao Liu said with sincere admiration.

Huang Tao listened to the neighbors’ chatter and continued working with a smile.

The customers getting takeout happily left with their boxes.

As they walked, they pulled out their phones to send a message, widely announcing today’s new dish of crispy-fried chimes.

As for whether there would be any left when they came back later, that was uncertain.

Probably slim!

At the same time, many people who saw the post on Delicious Restaurant’s official Weibo account, if they were nearby, immediately closed their shops and drove over to West City Old Street.

They drove quite hurriedly, fearing they’d be too late and miss out. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

It was all because that plate of crispy-fried chimes was so tempting.

Who could resist when Huang Tao made it look so enticing, you could practically taste it through the screen!

Not content with just going themselves, they couldn’t help but share this news with family and friends.

Some office workers, upon seeing the new product post on Weibo, could only hope they could grab some after getting off work.

The students at Lijiang University always kept a close eye on the happenings at Delicious Restaurant.

Whenever there was any movement at the shop, it would immediately appear on the campus forum.

At that moment, the top post on the campus forum read:

"A new dish of crispy-fried chimes? Limited quantity, buy while supplies last!"

Many students studying in their dorms without classes, upon seeing such a title, didn’t even need to click in to know that another new dish was out at Delicious Restaurant.

Actions speak louder than words.

They left in a hurry, not even bothering to shut down their computers, grabbing their keys and phones as they rushed out.

On the way, they finally opened the post to read it, and were instantly tempted by the food photos shared by the poster.

Not to mention, the poster had elegantly described the wonderful taste of the crispy-fried chimes.

Finding themselves craving it, they quickly broke into a run.

Upon arrival, they saw a long, long line outside the store.

"Wow, there are so many people. It’s a shame I saw the message too late. I wonder if we’ll still be able to get some when it’s our turn?"

"It’s only eleven fifteen, but chances still seem slim. Every time Boss Huang makes a new dish, the quantity isn’t much..."

As they talked, more people joined the line.

Not even the cold weather could stop people’s cravings for crispy-fried chimes.

It was cold now, but if they got to eat the crispy-fried chimes, their happiness would definitely double!

When the students at Lijiang University thought of going for lunch after class, they opened the campus forum and saw this hot topic.

The thread had over a hundred comments already!

Comment 56: Lucky me! I had no classes this morning, so after breakfast, I strolled to the Old Street and joined the line a little after 9 o’clock. Now I’m almost at the front. Let me show you how lively it is both inside and outside the shop! Pic1.jpg, Pic2.jpg.

Comment 57: I saw you, but I arrived about five minutes later, and there were already about 10 people ahead of me.

Without needing to see the pictures, you could feel the massive line and the bustling activity inside the shop.

Comment 98: Wow, it’s another profitable day. This crispy-fried chimes is especially crispy, perfectly combining the crispiness of the tofu skin with the delicious meat filling. It’s amazing, even better than the crispy-fried chimes at hotels!

Comment 99: I can’t take it anymore, I’m already drooling. I’m in line now, hoping there’s still some when it’s my turn.

Comment 100: So envious! I wonder if there’ll be any left for me if I rush over after class!

As they scrolled through, those who managed to buy the crispy-fried chimes flaunted their photos and shared their experiences, making others crave more, with some bitter comments from those who couldn’t leave class to join the line.

Of course, many people still took a gamble, hoping to get lucky and buy some.

Hence...

Everyone flocked towards Delicious Restaurant...

This kept traffic officers Wang Zhoubin and Sun Linhai busy, as they not only had to manage vehicle flow but also maintain the line order.

Sigh!

It’s all Boss Huang’s fault, releasing yet another new dish, causing the whole street to get blocked up again...
