Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 346 - 336: A New Dish Released?

"Daddy, I really miss you~"

At the entrance of Golden Sun Kindergarten, Xuanxuan launched herself into Huang Tao’s arms.

"Hey, be careful, run slower..."

Huang Tao caught her and picked her up, a smile involuntarily tugging at his lips. Looking at the little one in his arms, so cute and warm-hearted, he couldn’t help but ask, "Xuanxuan, how much do you miss me!"

"A lot~"

Xuanxuan answered without hesitation, causing a warm feeling to flow through Huang Tao’s heart, spreading throughout his whole body.

The smile on his face widened, "And how much is ’a lot’?"

Xuanxuan blinked her eyes, thought for a few seconds, and answered, "When I was on the playground doing exercises with Teacher Ye this morning, I already missed you, and when I went back to the classroom to listen to stories, I missed you too. During the morning snack time with friends, I missed you, and even more so at lunchtime, I missed your cooking..."

At this point, perhaps feeling a bit shy.

She giggled and buried her face in her dad’s shoulder, leaving only her bright eyes visible.

Oh~

My little foodie is actually feeling shy!

Huang Tao couldn’t help but chuckle, gently caressing the back of his little one’s head, and asked, "Xuanxuan, do you miss eating daddy’s cooking?"

"Mm-hmm~"

Xuanxuan nodded, then quickly shook her head, looking at him with her bright eyes and saying seriously, "Actually, I miss you more, Daddy. From the moment I entered the kindergarten gate, I’ve been missing you, really..."

"I know, Daddy also thinks about you all the time, Xuanxuan."

Looking at her serious explanation, Huang Tao couldn’t help but lean in and plant a firm kiss on her cheek.

This made the little one burst into continuous peals of bell-like laughter.

Attracting curious glances from many parents and children.

Seeing that it was Huang Tao and his daughter, they all smiled and greeted Huang Tao.

"Boss Huang, here to pick up Xuanxuan!"

"Boss Huang, I heard there’s something new at the store for lunch?"

"Yes, that’s right."

Huang Tao nodded, smiling, "We’ve launched crispy fried bell rings for lunch at the store, you should come and try it when you have time."

As soon as he said that, it got a lot of responses.

"Alright! I’ll bring my kid over to try it in a bit."

"I saw your post about it on your official Weibo this noon and rushed over to try it, but I was too late and couldn’t get any!"

"I wanted to go too, but then a customer came to the store, so I had to drop it. Planning to go early in the evening to queue up and buy, so I’ll come over after picking up my kid, don’t want to miss it."

"Boss Huang, will there be more portions of crispy fried bell rings tonight?"

Huang Tao replied with a smile, "We do have 50 more servings tonight, but you still need to come early, or they’ll sell out."

"Xuanxuan, say goodbye to the uncles, aunties, and kids."

"Goodbye uncles, aunties, and kids."

Xuanxuan waved at them with twinkling eyes.

Then she was lifted into the car by her dad.

On the way, Xuanxuan, sitting on the safety seat in the back, looked up and said, "Daddy, the mushroom soup and fried green peppers with meat we had for lunch were not tasty!"

"Qianqian secretly looked at me, she didn’t like it either, and the other kids didn’t like it, even Teacher Ye didn’t like it. Everyone wants to eat your cooking."

Huang Tao worriedly asked, "Xuanxuan, did you not eat enough at lunch?"

"Daddy, I was full. Even though I didn’t like these dishes, I still ate them all obediently without wasting any!"

Xuanxuan always remembered what her daddy said, not to waste food and not to be picky, and she was doing exactly as her daddy taught her.

Hearing this, Huang Tao felt relieved.

If his daughter went hungry at kindergarten, his heart would ache terribly.

If it weren’t for the school’s rules, he would have wanted to send food for Xuanxuan at noon every day or bring her home for lunch.

Now that Xuanxuan is not picky and finishes the meals at the kindergarten, he’s very pleased.

He praised her, "Xuanxuan is so good and amazing."

"Yeah, Teacher Ye says the same, she even rewarded me with a little red flower!"

With a proud little expression, Xuanxuan finished her drink, then picked up a small thermos bottle and started gulping down water.

Huang Tao asked with concern, "Xuanxuan, didn’t you drink water at school today? Why are you so thirsty?"

"Daddy, I did drink water at school."

After a few big gulps, she put down the bottle and explained to her dad, "Daddy, in the afternoon, Teacher Ye took us to Tiantian Paradise to plant vegetables, our class planted carrots!"

"I helped move the tools over with my friends, we also dug up soil, watered, and planted seeds!"

"And I didn’t drink water all the while, so I’m a little thirsty now."

Listening to his daughter talk about what happened at school, he smiled and praised her again, "Wow, my Xuanxuan can plant carrots, that’s amazing!"

She basked in her dad’s praise, feeling proud of herself.

"Daddy, Teacher Ye said once the carrots are grown, we can take them home to share with friends."

Huang Tao smiled, "Alright, I’ll make stir-fried carrots with meat for you later."

"Mm-hmm, dad’s stir-fried carrots with meat must be delicious."

Just thinking about the delicious food, she unconsciously stuck out her little tongue and licked her lips.

Such a little foodie!

Seeing his daughter’s little action in the mirror, Huang Tao couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Then you rest for a while, when we get to the store, I’ll make you some crispy fried rolls!"

"Yay, yay!"

Although she didn’t really know what crispy fried rolls were, it didn’t stop Xuanxuan from feeling happy.

Anyway, as long as Dad makes it, it must be especially delicious.

She sweetly said, "Dad, you’re the best."

"You and your sweet little mouth."

Feeling sweet inside, Huang Tao affectionately said, "Sit tight like a good girl, we’ll be there soon."

"Mm-hmm~"

Xuanxuan obediently did as she was told.

All the way, the father and daughter laughed and chatted.

In no time, they arrived at the store front.

After parking the car, Huang Tao carried Xuanxuan out of the car and headed towards the store.

Seeing the neighbors and some college students sitting outside the store playing cards and chess, she sweetly greeted them, "Hello grandpas, grandmas, brothers, and sisters..."

Hearing her, the neighbors and college students all looked at her with smiles on their faces,

"Oh, little cute Xuanxuan is back..."

"Xuanxuan, did you have fun at school? What did you learn?"

"Xuanxuan, Grandma Li has some candy here, do you want some?"

"Thank you, Grandma Li."

Xuanxuan politely thanked her and waved her hand, "But candy will give me cavities, so I don’t want any..."

"So well-behaved and understanding..."

The neighbors couldn’t help but compliment her, not like their grandchildren, whose eyes would light up at the sight of candy and would stuff it into their mouths and couldn’t be stopped no matter what.

Unlike Xuanxuan, who wouldn’t take it even when offered, understanding that candy causes cavities and shouldn’t be eaten.

If their grandchildren were half as sensible as Xuanxuan, they would be secretly happy.

Xuanxuan followed Huang Tao into the store, greeted Mimi, and then obediently sat at her own little table so she wouldn’t disturb the customers while they ate.

As usual, after telling Xuanxuan a few things, Huang Tao went into the kitchen to prepare some food for her.

In no time, he fried some crispy fried rolls and also cooked a bowl of yellow croaker noodles for Xuanxuan, bringing them to her table.

"Smells so good!"

The little girl was immediately attracted by the aroma of the crispy fried rolls and reached out to grab one.

"Don’t grab with your hands, use chopsticks."

Huang Tao quickly grabbed her little hand and handed her a pair of children’s chopsticks.

Stopped by her dad, Xuanxuan pouted a little, unhappily picked up the chopsticks, grabbed a piece of crispy fried roll, and took a bite.

"Crunch" sound.

The little girl’s beautiful eyes widened as she curiously chewed.

So crunchy~

"Mm, delicious, I’ll have another."

She ate several pieces in a row.

"Meow~"

At some point, Mimi came over, raised her little head, and meowed at her.

As if saying: Little master, let this cat have a taste too.

Xuanxuan picked up a piece of crispy fried roll, wanting to give it to Mimi.

But then she remembered her dad said to have Mimi lose weight, and not to feed her randomly.

She said with a face of helplessness, "Mimi, I promised Dad not to feed you randomly~"

Mimi: "..."

Mimi hesitated, then struggled to do a backflip.

Xuanxuan was a bit surprised.

But the next second, she hurriedly popped the crispy fried roll into her mouth.

Mimi: "..."

Little master, since when did you become so clever?!
