Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 365 - 355: That’s Really Low-Class, Isn’t It?
"Everyone’s here, Xu Hao, get ready to serve the food."
Huang Tao saw Li Chengzhan walking into the restaurant, his left arm holding a plump old lady and his right arm holding a sprightly old man. It suddenly dawned on him that this plump old lady must be the birthday star tonight!
She’s also Li Chengzhan’s grandmother!
As for the sprightly old man beside her, he must be Li Chengzhan’s grandfather!
"Got it, Boss." Xu Hao nodded earnestly.
Huang Tao, being a sensitive person, noticed the forced smile on Li Yuanfu, who was following behind, and the involuntary frown on Li Meiling’s family, who came in last. He could tell they weren’t satisfied with his little restaurant.
He’s seen situations like this many times and didn’t mind it much.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Aunt, Uncle, Little Hang..."
Li Chengzhan smiled and introduced Huang Tao to his family: "This is the owner of this restaurant, also my boss. Everyone calls him Boss Huang, so you can do the same!"
"Alright!"
Li Xinzhong and Qin Yumin both nodded in agreement and offered their hands to Huang Tao with a smile, saying, "Boss Huang, please take good care of our Chengzhan in the future!"
Huang Tao smiled slightly and politely shook hands with the two elders: "You’re too kind. Chengzhan has been doing very well with us. Let’s all look out for each other in the future!"
"Hello, Boss Huang..."
Li Yuanfu and the other three stepped forward and politely extended their hands to Huang Tao as well.
"Hello, welcome to our restaurant."
Huang Tao courteously shook their hands one by one and said to Li Chengzhan: "Chengzhan, take your family and have a seat. We’ll start shortly."
"Okay, Boss. Thank you for your hard work."
The group sat down at a temporarily assembled dining table.
Except for Li Chengzhan, the others curiously looked around the restaurant.
"I have to say, this place is quite spacious."
Li Xinzhong and Qin Yumin remarked as they looked around. It might not match the fine environment of hotels outside, but it was nice; it looked clean and bright.
In their impression, small restaurants were cramped, with barely enough room to move, and the tables, chairs, and walls all looked dingy and greasy as if they hadn’t been cleaned properly.
With such a place, no matter how tasty the food, they couldn’t enjoy it.
At their age, it’s time to enjoy life; calling a few old friends to have breakfast at a hotel could lead to chatting all morning.
Dining environment is a priority for them.
Luckily, in this regard, Delicious Restaurant didn’t disappoint them.
The expressions of the other elders showed a sense of resignation to "adapt to circumstances."
Jiang Qihang examined the decor of the restaurant and glanced at Huang Tao busy in the kitchen, unable to resist asking, "From the decor, it looks like a new place. This Boss Huang is so young; is he really that good at cooking?"
Li Chengzhan clicked his tongue: "You’ll know once you try it. When have I ever lied to you?"
Hehe~
Jiang Qihang chuckled and called out to Huang Tao in the kitchen, "By the way, Boss Huang, can I stream live?"
The restaurant often had streamers, so Huang Tao looked at him and nodded, "Feel free."
"Just don’t film us," Li Yuanfu said.
"Don’t worry, Uncle, I won’t film you..."
Li Qihang said as he set up the live streaming equipment.
As soon as the stream started, lots of people entered the live room.
The live room’s screen lit up with a flurry of bullet comments:
"Hang finally started streaming, I’ve been waiting forever for this."
"Eh? Where is this?"
"Thousands are begging Hang to check in at Heaven on Earth."
"Whoa, are you trying to get our Hang arrested?"
Jiang Qihang had over a hundred thousand followers.
Although the timing of his streams was mostly irregular, he still sent out a preview before each stream.
So many active fans, after seeing the stream preview, waited and rushed into the live room at the appointed time.
After all, they had already eaten, and with nothing to do, watching a stream seemed like a good way to kill some time.
Jiang Qihang switched the camera to face himself, waved at the camera with a smile: "Hello everyone, I’m currently at a place called Delicious in West City Old Street, Wenling City. Today is my grandma’s birthday. Our family is here to celebrate..."
As he spoke, he adjusted the camera to show the decor of Delicious Restaurant to his fans.
The bullet comments flew through the live room:
"Whoa, Hang’s grandma’s birthday banquet, why is it held in such a small restaurant? This is so low-class..."
"Exactly, how can this little restaurant match grandma’s upscale identity? Hang, isn’t your uncle quite rich? Setting up a tiny place for grandma’s birthday, that’s so stingy..."
"Indeed, hosting a birthday banquet in this small restaurant doesn’t suit your uncle’s and Hang’s status, you guys are supposed to be filthy rich!"
"Just a timid question for Hang, did your uncle’s company go bankrupt?"
Seeing this comment, Jiang Qihang was at a loss for words: "..."
If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have started this live stream.
Great, now!
He’s been laughed at by everyone...
A total blunder!
But just as he was regretting, quite a few sharp-eyed fans in the live stream, upon hearing "Delicious Restaurant," were first stunned, and then seeing some familiar decor inside the restaurant, they were absolutely sure that the "Delicious Restaurant" Jiang Qihang mentioned was indeed the "Delicious Restaurant" they knew.
"Holy crap, Hang is actually in Boss Huang’s restaurant! Hang’s family must be awesome to hold a birthday banquet in Boss Huang’s restaurant."
"With Boss Huang’s culinary skills, this banquet is bound to be incredibly delicious!"
"By the way, when did Boss Huang’s restaurant start hosting banquets? How could I not know this, feels like I missed out on a fortune..."
"Hang, quickly tell us, how did you convince Boss Huang? How did you get him to agree to host a birthday banquet at his place?"
"Considering the time this banquet is held, it must be a very close relationship, otherwise there’s no way Boss Huang would stay after hours to help with the banquet dishes."
Looking at these comments.
Jiang Qihang was utterly confused.
What’s going on?
Is this little restaurant... popular?
He was doubtful in his heart, but didn’t show it on his face, holding the phone, he stood up and started walking around the restaurant, saying, "This place is also where my cousin works..."
Fans who were familiar with Huang Tao’s restaurant and those who had tasted the food there immediately understood why Jiang Qihang’s grandma could have her birthday banquet at the Delicious Restaurant.
Turns out it’s an employee benefit!
But for the fans who were first encountering Huang Tao’s restaurant, a question couldn’t help but pop up in their minds: A rich kid working as a waiter here?
They smoked a whole pack and still couldn’t figure it out!
"This is the kitchen area, the semi-open kitchen allows us to see the entire cooking environment, it really seems clean and hygienic, the boss is now carving a roast duck..."
Jiang Qihang walked over to the kitchen area, standing outside the glass partition, watching as Huang Tao carved the roast duck.
The viewers in the live stream were instantly captivated not only by Huang Tao’s good looks but also by his duck carving skills.
"The boss’s hands are really well-defined, so slender, compared to the boss, I’m just short and stubby (sobbing)."
"Isn’t the boss’s looks, those hands, and that figure even better than male celebrities?"
"This boss is so good-looking, he’s outshining our Hang."
"Does our Hang even need good looks? Flash the bank card and all the pretty girls gather round."
"Haha, that’s so on point, leaves no room for argument!"
"Ahhh, Hang, don’t shake your hand, steady it please, let me have another look at the boss’s face! I’m a local cat, I love to watch!"
"Whoa, the boss’s duck carving skills are great!"
"More than great! I’m telling you, Boss Huang’s duck carving technique is top-notch!"
"Look closely, each piece of duck is carved so evenly, with crispy skin, lean meat, shaped like willow leaves!"
"The speed he’s slicing at is insane! So fast my eyes can’t keep up with his hands, magic perhaps?"
"If I hadn’t watched him carve it myself, I’d doubt what I saw."
"This is getting interesting!"
"This duck carving technique is among the best of the best."
"You can tell a person’s foundation from their basic skills, and this boss’s knife skills are rock solid!"
The viewers who weren’t familiar with Huang Tao, through their screens, were thoroughly impressed by his duck carving skills.
Full of admiration!
Jiang Qihang felt the same at this moment.
Seeing it firsthand makes the impression even stronger, the shock even more intense.
Damn, this boss really knows his stuff...
As he watched, his attention was suddenly drawn to something.
