Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 354 - 344: Comparable to a High-End Hotel Chef
Huang Tao elegantly arranged the fried glutinous rice balls on a plate, transforming them into a high-class delicacy that looked incredibly delicious!
Then he put them on a tray with pan-fried buns and preserved egg and lean pork congee, gently calling out as he carried them to his daughter’s table, "Xuanxuan, go wash your hands first, it’s time for breakfast..."
"Daddy, wait a minute, I haven’t finished coloring yet..."
Xuanxuan, still immersed in her world of coloring, instinctively responded when she heard her dad’s call.
Huang Tao wasn’t annoyed and placed the large plate of fried glutinous rice balls in front of Xuanxuan’s table.
A light, toasty fragrance wafted over...
Xuanxuan’s attention was immediately drawn away from her coloring world.
Her adorable nostrils unconsciously flared slightly, instantly spotting the fried rice balls.
Seeing the golden, sun-like rice balls stacked in the center of the plate, like a golden mountain peak.
At the plate’s edge, an apple peel was rolled into a beautiful rose, with petals embedded from carved fruit underneath!
This presentation elevated the visual appeal of the fried rice balls by several levels.
Rivaling the creations of a top hotel chef!
Xuanxuan, captivated by this high-appearance dish, greedily stuck out her little tongue and licked her lips, exclaiming, "Wow... so beautiful..."
Her little mouth opened wide as if it could fit an egg.
She instinctively covered her mouth with her little hand in a ladylike manner.
"Your hands are dirty, don’t bring them to your mouth."
Seeing this, Huang Tao quickly removed her little hand to prevent the coloring crayon’s pigment from entering her mouth.
Xuanxuan, pouting her rosy lips, pointed at the plate of fried rice balls, dripping with desire, said, "Daddy, daddy, I want this, I want this..."
"It smells so good, I really really want to eat it right away..."
This small request, of course, Huang Tao fulfilled.
Naturally, he had a small request too, "Alright, Daddy will feed you a rice ball first, then you go wash your hands, okay?"
"Okay okay, got it!"
Xuanxuan blinked her big, beautiful eyes earnestly and nodded.
Huang Tao picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a fried rice ball, and cautiously blew on it before bringing it to Xuanxuan’s mouth, gently saying, "Come, take a bite."
Already famished, Xuanxuan couldn’t help but open her mouth wide and took a big bite.
"Sizzle..." The liquid black sesame filling oozed from Xuanxuan’s mouth corner, dripping onto her clothes.
The little girl froze for a moment.
Clearly, the sudden situation startled her.
"It’s okay, Daddy will wipe it off for you."
Huang Tao comforted the little one while pulling out some tissues to wipe her clothes.
Xuanxuan obediently let her dad clean the stains from her clothes, all the while chewing, and soon her eyes lit up, her little tongue greedily licking the corners of her mouth.
So tasty~
Crispy, sweet, sticky, with a sesame aroma, it tasted incredibly good!
Xuanxuan’s pretty eyes sparkled like stars, "Daddy, it’s so delicious!"
"Daddy, it smells so good! And it’s so crispy and gooey..."
This was the best fried glutinous rice ball she had ever eaten.
Huang Tao smiled and put the remaining half of the fried rice ball into her mouth.
Xuanxuan also obediently kept her promise with her dad and went to wash her hands.
"Meow~"
Smelling the aroma, Mimi jumped up.
Seeing the fried rice balls, seemingly a new variety it hadn’t seen before, Mimi’s bright eyes lit up.
Huang Tao, seeing Mimi eagerly waiting, nodded his chin at Mimi and said, "Mimi, come, do a backflip."
"Meow~"
Mimi obediently flipped its hind legs, straining slightly due to its somewhat plump body, and performed a backflip.
Oh dear, it’s exhausting for this cat star~
After landing, it tilted its head up and gave Huang Tao another "meow", urging him to feed it quickly.
Yet wanting Mimi to exercise a bit, Huang Tao continued, "Come, spin three times."
"Meow!" Mimi wasn’t happy, letting out a howling sound.
Huang Tao raised an eyebrow and ignored it, picking up a fried rice ball and popping it in his mouth, biting with a crispy crunch.
A look of "I’m eating, you watch."
Mimi, feeling greedy, stuck out her little tongue and licked the corner of her mouth.
Ultimately, it surrendered to the delicious food, raising its white flag.
It softly meowed: "Meow~"
As if saying: Human servant, I’ll turn, I’ll turn, okay...
Then it began to turn in circles.
One circle.
Two circles.
Three circles.
It squatted on the ground, looking up with its cat head, meowing at Huang Tao: "Meow~"
As if saying: Human servant, this should be enough, right?
Huang Tao smiled, not continuing to trouble this Mimi who was destined to become a chubby orange cat.
He placed four fried glutinous rice balls in its dedicated cat bowl, along with a pan-fried dumpling with mixed vegetable filling.
Mimi munched away, all its previous displeasures disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Xuanxuan, having washed her little hands, returned, climbed onto the dining table, eagerly picked up chopsticks, somewhat clumsily picked up a fried glutinous rice ball, and started eating.
She ate with loud smacking sounds.
Her small face was smeared with some breadcrumbs.
Huang Tao couldn’t help but laugh.
He took a tissue to wipe her face and gently said: "Don’t rush, nobody’s snatching from you. Look at you, you’re a little mess now!"
"Hurry, hurry, Daddy, hurry up!" Xuanxuan couldn’t help but wiggle impatiently, eager to continue eating.
"Okay!"
After wiping her, Huang Tao couldn’t resist tweaking her little nose, saying: "Now you sit here and eat obediently, Daddy’s going to get busy."
"Okay~"
She nodded vigorously: "Daddy, go ahead! I’ll take good care of myself."
Wow, that tone, she really sounds like a little adult!
Huang Tao chuckled, seeing Xuanxuan enjoying her food, he didn’t disturb her any further and turned towards the kitchen.
Worried that his daughter might get a heaty stomach from eating too many fried glutinous rice balls, he planned to buy a bottle of herbal tea for kids at Jiang Guowei’s convenience store to cool her down after dropping her off at school.
He returned to the kitchen, where Huang Tao and Jiang Chao started pan-frying the dumplings to be sold in the morning and began boiling glutinous rice balls.
o’clock.
Open for business.
The elderly folks walked into the shop.
They came to Ding Suqin’s counter and started ordering.
"Suqin, give me an order of sesame rice balls, and 5 pork-filled pan-fried dumplings, 5 beef-filled ones."
"I want an order of sesame rice balls too, and two marinated eggs, plus 5 shrimp and pork-filled pan-fried dumplings."
"I want two orders of sesame rice balls, 10 pork and mushroom-filled pan-fried dumplings, 10 mixed vegetable ones."
Meanwhile, they noticed what seemed to be small portions of fried rice balls at the counter, and were about to ask!
Only to hear Ding Suqin say: "Hello everyone, today when you buy sesame rice balls, you’ll receive a small portion of fried rice balls, crispy outside and soft inside, very delicious. There are only fifty portions, each portion includes two, first come first served..."
The elderly folks were shocked.
Buying sesame rice balls comes with fried rice balls?
Buying a small portion of fried rice balls as a snack elsewhere would cost at least ten yuan, and today at Delicious Restaurant, they’re giving them for free.
Li hurriedly said: "How can we let Boss Huang give them away for free!"
Ding Suqin replied with a smile: "Boss made too many fried rice balls this morning, can’t finish them, so he decided to give them back to the customers, although there aren’t many portions."
"Since you ordered sesame rice balls first, just take it!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Li and the others felt a warm sensation in their hearts.
"Then we won’t stand on ceremony, we’ll accept it."
Ding Suqin politely responded: "Take it, just to taste, don’t be upset with the small portion."
Saying this, she quickly set their orders and after they paid, picked up small portions of fried rice balls from the counter, handing them to the elderly who ordered sesame rice balls.
The elderly folks thanked her and happily went to find seats with their small portions of fried rice balls.
