Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 343 - 333: 20 Million Annual Salary!

Jiang Mingtao has always been a very self-disciplined person.

Well, no choice!

Who made him acquire a "rich man’s disease"!

The doctor advised him to control his diet, avoid greasy foods, eat less meat and sugar, and avoid high-calorie foods.

He also needs to abstain from smoking and drinking, and avoid emotional agitation.

For this reason, he made a firm decision to quit smoking and drinking.

After all, if you want to live well, you must first control your mouth; if you don’t want to suffer, you have to change your bad habits!

So, whenever at a banquet, when offered alcohol and cigarettes, he righteously refuses with the line, "Brother has not smoked or drunk for many years," and uses tea as a substitute for alcohol.

With his status and position, others naturally dare not say much.

Moreover, a nutritionist has planned his daily three meals in a nutritional menu plan.

All are mainly light, with dietary adjustment.

He has adhered to these habits for many years now.

Greasy and high-calorie foods, he hasn’t eaten for a long time.

However.

Upon tasting the deliciousness of the crispy fried bells, he utterly couldn’t control his mouth anymore; he couldn’t stop, grabbing one with each chopstick and sending them all into his mouth.

Feeling the pleasant crunchy sound, followed by the rich meaty taste...

Ah~

Happiness!

As for what the doctor and nutritionist said, he has long since thrown it to the back of his mind.

"Loss, loss, it’s truly a great loss; eating should be such an enjoyable thing, I didn’t expect that in these fifty years, I never ate correctly once, it’s really a waste to have come and gone in this world."

To think that he even runs a hotel, yet he never once had such a delightful feeling eating in his own hotel.

He immediately felt like he’s been running a lonely business.

Chen Hongxia and Jiang Shouyi both agreed with nods, but their hands did not stop.

In no time, the originally stacked-full-with-glistening-gold crispy fried bells completely disappeared.

Clean enough to reflect their faces.

Not only fragments, but not even a trace of oil could be seen!

As if this plate had never been used.

"Tsk tsk tsk, being able to make fried food that neither breaks nor gets greasy, it’s rare in the country! But making it so clean and neat, there’s truly none like it!"

Jiang Mingtao finished eating, with a face full of unfulfilled longing, and when looking at Huang Tao, he couldn’t help but be completely impressed.

Though looking young, not only does his crispy fried bells taste incredibly good, but it’s made so clean and crisp, this skill is not to be underestimated!

Of course, this skill makes others marvel!

No wonder his own son wants to apprentice under Huang Tao, and failing to do so, shamelessly wants to stay and work in the store.

Just for this skill, it’s worth it for his son to work for him.

Actually, when his son first said he wanted to stay and work at this store, he specifically sent someone to investigate Huang Tao’s shop.

The amount of information was quite large, almost all positive.

But he thought it was just okay, after all, rumors are mostly exaggerated, many things have only five points, but exaggerating to ten is a very restrained result.

Though he knew from the information that this Huang Tao has some skills, but only until this moment, did he clearly realize that with Huang Tao’s craftsmanship, the evaluations in the materials were still too restrained.

Jiang Shouyi picked a piece of Honeyed Ham with chopsticks and said with a smile, "You guys try this Honeyed Ham, the taste is superb!"

Always paying attention to her figure, Chen Hongxia initially wanted to refuse.

Accidentally ate a bit much earlier, the calories are going to exceed.

But looking at the oily-glazed reddish-brown Honeyed Ham, she couldn’t help but swallow, still reaching with chopsticks to pick a piece.

Anyway, since she’s here, might as well eat, and we’ll talk later!

At worst, go back and work out hard!

Without enough to eat, where would the strength to lose weight come from, right?!

She and Jiang Mingtao began involuntarily tasting the Honeyed Ham.

As soon as the Honeyed Ham entered their mouths, their eyes unconsciously widened again.

Saltiness, freshness, sweetness, and aroma reached a perfect balance, salty meets sweet, the taste is superb.

It has the mellow fragrance of ham and clear sweetness of rock sugar, lean meat is tender, fatty meat is sticky.

Hmm, delicious!

Another bite.

Seeing his son and daughter-in-law like this, Jiang Shouyi also quickly picked another piece with chopsticks.

Jiang Mingtao couldn’t help but praise, "Sigh, why is Boss Huang’s cooking always so delicious?"

Chen Hongxia nodded in agreement, "Indeed it’s delicious, even the stewed soft honey dates secretly hide fragrance and sweetness!"

To be honest, she never tasted such delicious Honeyed Ham even in her own hotel!

Oh no, neither did any other well-known hotel or restaurant have such a flavor.

No way, she must thoroughly satisfy her palate, otherwise, it’s a great loss.

Reached out with chopsticks again.

As for the matter of calorie exceeding, she has completely forgotten.

Comfortable, happiness!

A serving of Honeyed Ham is not a lot, and soon they finished off all of it among the three.

Chen Hongxia put down her chopsticks and already felt a bit full.

Usually at home, she only eats until about seventy percent full before stopping.

Right now, she feels her stomach is already signaling fullness.

Almost full.

"Come, you guys try this oil-braised shrimp."

Jiang Shouyi placed the oil-braised shrimp from the side into the middle of the table, indicating for the couple to eat.

Due to her father-in-law’s kindness and her own love for shrimp, Chen Hongxia tasted one, and then couldn’t stop, picking several large shrimp with chopsticks and placing them into her bowl.

Jiang Mingtao was anxious!

"Hongxia, aren’t you trying to maintain your figure? Why are you grabbing several at once? Let me help you eat a couple."

Saying that, his chopsticks reached for the braised prawns in Chen Hongxia’s bowl.

Chen Hongxia quickly moved her bowl away, laughing, "Mingtao, the doctor advised you not to eat too greasy foods. These braised prawns are not for you, I’ll eat them myself..."

This couple, who own many hotels and dabble in other industries, with a net worth in the billions, were actually fighting over food in this little eatery.

If their familiar bigwigs saw this, they’d definitely be jaw-dropped.

Soon, the braised prawns were also finished.

Jiang Mingtao felt a bit thirsty and scooped a spoonful of the soup with fish balls, and started eating?

Hmm?!

What kind of fish ball is this?

The first bite.

It was incredibly smooth, bouncy, and chewy.

The fish was fresh and sweet, with no fishy smell at all.

The taste was truly amazing!

He looked up at the direction of the kitchen, puzzled, "This fresh and bouncy fish ball soup is only sold for 20 yuan a bowl. I really don’t know what Boss Huang is thinking."

Even if this bowl of fish ball soup was sold for 300 yuan, many people would still buy it.

However, Huang Tao only sold it for 20 yuan a bowl.

Jiang Shouyi spoke with great admiration, "Everything in this store is so delicious every day, and the queues are endless. Many people couldn’t even buy it. Even under such a supply-demand imbalance, Boss Huang hasn’t raised the price by a cent."

These words surprised Jiang Mingtao, who was in the same business.

If it were their hotel under such unequal supply and demand, the prices of their dishes would definitely go up.

Why not make a bit more money!

But Boss Huang didn’t raise the prices, how honest!

Thinking about this, he casually picked up a piece of braised pig’s trotters and stuffed it into his mouth.

His eyes widened once more.

Yes!

He was again amazed by the taste of the braised pig’s trotters, pulling him back from his distraction.

Delicious!

The braised pig’s trotters were truly superb!

Then, he couldn’t stop eating.

By the time all the dishes on the table were finished.

Jiang Mingtao slumped in his chair, unable to sit up straight.

Unknowingly, as he was eating, he accidentally ate too much.

He had no idea how these things got into his stomach.

Jiang Shouyi couldn’t help but burp, "Mingtao, how was it? Was everything delicious?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"It was indeed very tasty."

Jiang Mingtao rubbed his belly, thought for a moment, and asked, "Hongxia, Dad, do you think we can invite Boss Huang to be the head chef at our hotel?"

An annual salary of 10 million!

No.

An annual salary of 20 million!

Or let Huang Tao name his own price!

As long as it’s not too outrageous, he could accept it!

If their hotel had such a head chef, business would definitely improve several times!

The important thing is that customers would be happy eating!

Jiang Mingtao was very tempted!

Chen Hongxia was also tempted.

If Boss Huang could work at their hotel, she would have a great time eating when she returned to Jiang City.

Also, their son could come home.

Jiang Shouyi asked back, "Do you think if Boss Huang wanted to make money, he couldn’t earn more than the salary you’re offering?"

Jiang Mingtao and Chen Hongxia both fell silent.

Indeed.

Given Huang Tao’s skills, making big money was too easy.

But the thought of letting it go like that made him a bit reluctant.

Besides, people who make big deals usually have thick skin and aren’t afraid of being rejected.

Jiang Mingtao laughed and said, "How would we know if it works, unless we try? Maybe Boss Huang would want to come to Jiang City to be our head chef!"

Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Mingtao suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

Turning his head, he saw the other diners nearby glaring at him, their stainless steel spoons glinting coldly.

The look in their eyes said they wouldn’t hesitate to attack!

Jiang Mingtao’s neck involuntarily shrank.

Jiang Shouyi knowingly reminded his son, "If you’re not afraid of being beaten by these customers, then go talk to Boss Huang!"

Jiang Mingtao: "..."

This isn’t his turf, even if he has money, he can’t just do whatever he wants.

Moreover, these ordinary-looking customers might actually be very special, who knows?

There might be hidden talents among them.

And even if he did propose to Huang Tao, the other party would probably refuse.

Thinking of this, he decided to let it go and not complicate things further.

He quickly said, "Hahaha, I was just kidding, wasn’t that funny?"

The crowd: "..."
