Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 344 - 334: First Postponed Meeting

Jiang Shouyi smiled at the dining guests, "Everyone, my bratty son can’t keep his mouth shut, just ignore him!"

The so-called brat Jiang Mingtao by his own father: "..."

Dad, can you stop belittling me~

After all, I am someone with a reputation~

He felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, it’s not unreasonable for dad to call him a brat...

What else could he do?

He could only put on an awkward yet polite smile, nodding to the guests in the restaurant.

"Let’s go..."

Jiang Shouyi stood up, then pointed at the dishes and utensils on the table, saying to Jiang Mingtao and his wife, "Mingtao, Hongxia, you two tidy up the table and then put these dishes and utensils in the basket next to the automatic dishwasher."

Hearing this, both Jiang Mingtao and Chen Hongxia were taken aback.

Clearly, the old man’s words were beyond their comprehension.

This was the first time they heard that after eating, customers had to clean up their own tables?

But they saw that other customers who had finished their meals also casually tidied up the table and placed the dishes and utensils in the basket by the automatic dishwasher.

Is this an unwritten rule of the restaurant?

Well!

For the sake of the delicious food, they’ll just go along with the local customs!

Honestly, they quite liked the atmosphere.

You could feel the warmth of human connection and the atmosphere of ordinary life here.

And they were a bit envious.

Envious that Huang Tao was so well taken care of by these customers.

Even though they’ve been running hotels for decades, they had never experienced such treatment from customers!

Suddenly, why does it feel like a five-star hotel can’t compare to a small restaurant!

Later, the couple worked together.

Chen Hongxia was responsible for wiping the table.

Jiang Mingtao was responsible for stacking the dishes and utensils together and delivering them to the basket near the automatic dishwasher.

However, thinking about how he’s a chairman, yet after dining in a restaurant, he has to clean up the dishes himself, he couldn’t help but laugh silently to himself.

If his employees or business friends saw this scene, they’d probably drop their chins and eyes in surprise.

They might even make fun of him!

But just thinking about the delicious food he had just eaten, he felt that it was only right to help out a bit!

By helping out, Boss Huang and his staff could have more time to make more dishes.

But thinking about how, after returning to Jiang City, it would be hard to eat such delicious meals again, he couldn’t help but feel a bit downhearted.

At this moment, he envied his own son again.

Envious that he could eat Boss Huang’s delicious food three meals a day. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He originally thought his son was having a tough time here, working every day, and believed the restaurant’s meals to be the best.

He and Hongxia felt sorry for him and planned to take their son out to a fancy restaurant for a good meal.

But after eating, they realized they should feel sorry for themselves.

In their lifetime, they had never eaten such delicious food.

The son gets to eat it every day without queuing!

Envy, envy, envy!

If it wasn’t for the big company he had to manage, he would want to stay here like his own father.

Alas, what can he do!

He’s destined to be busy by nature!

After everything was settled, the three of them left the restaurant and headed to the parking area.

The assistant who had bought two portions of three-in-one braised rice and two portions of nourishing fish soup, having finished eating with the driver, happened to be at a nearby roadside trash can, disposing of trash.

Seeing his chairman and the family of three approaching, he quickly and considerately opened the car door for the back seat, watching them off as they got in, then swiftly returned to his own seat in the front passenger seat.

He then turned his head to look at Jiang Mingtao in the back seat and asked with a smile, "Chairman Jiang, are we returning to Jiang City? You have a meeting this afternoon."

Jiang Mingtao shook his head without hesitation, "Reschedule the meeting for tomorrow at 9 am, I want to have dinner here in Wenling City tonight before going back."

The assistant was a bit surprised.

Jiang Shouyi, Chen Hongxia, and the driver shared the same expression.

After all, this was the first time in Jiang Mingtao’s life that he postponed a meeting!

And the reason for postponing the meeting...

Could it be because of this small restaurant on Old Street?

Almost certainly!

The assistant, having already made a guess in his mind, didn’t ask further but nodded, "Chairman Jiang, understood, I’ll arrange it right away."

After saying this, he took out his phone, calmly editing a message, and notified the company executives in the group chat about postponing the meeting.

He couldn’t help but smile to himself.

It was nice to be able to have another meal at Delicious Restaurant tonight!

Indeed, he had unwittingly been captivated by the food at Delicious Restaurant.

Thinking that if possible, he really wished the chairman would indefinitely delay the meeting, so he could stay here eating Boss Huang’s food...

Of course, he clearly knew this was impossible!

Speaking of which, should he resign?

Then find a job on West City Old Street in Wenling City, and buy a nearby apartment.

He had saved over 1.8 million in the past six years, more than enough for a down payment.

Given his work ability, it shouldn’t be hard to find a job.

He wasn’t the only one with the thought; even the driver had similar ideas.

It’s just that the driver hadn’t saved enough for a down payment, so he could only rent a nearby apartment.

Jiang Mingtao had no idea that his reliable assistant and driver both wanted to resign just to eat Boss Huang’s food every day.

He didn’t even know his wife had the same idea of staying here.

He saw Chen Hongxia holding his hand, giving him a gentle smile, "Mingtao, you see, dad and Chao are staying here, and no one’s taking care of them, I can’t help but worry! How about I stay here to take care of their daily needs? When Chao is on vacation, I’ll come back with them."

Jiang Mingtao: "..."

Pretending to want to care for their son and father, isn’t it just that Chen Hongxia genuinely wants to stay here and eat Boss Huang’s food?!

Knowing his wife well, he saw through her little thought but didn’t expose it. He just smiled and said, "If you’re not at ease, we can hire a housekeeper to take care of dad and Tao’s daily needs."

"I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Besides, no one else would care for them as attentively as family would!"

Chen Hongxia glanced at Jiang Shouyi, smiling as she blinked, "Dad, isn’t it true?"

This was a call for help!

"Hmm, I’m still in good shape and don’t really need looking after..."

Understanding Jiang Shouyi initially wanted to refuse, but he was also worried that if he didn’t say something, his daughter-in-law might get annoyed and persuade his son to whisk him back too, which would be tragic for him.

So, after some thinking, he nodded, "If Hongxia really isn’t at ease about me and Chao staying here, then let her stay and take care of us!"

Alright!

The old man had spoken, and there was nothing Jiang Mingtao could say, so he nodded and agreed.

Ah!

One meal, and it lured his wife’s heart away, wanting to stay and not even go home.

Ah!

It’s all because Boss Huang’s food was too delicious, even his wife was captured by Boss Huang’s culinary skill.

For some reason, he always felt Huang Tao’s dishes had a unique flavor, as if they breathed life into the food, making it irresistible.

Very captivating indeed!

Meanwhile, inside Delicious Restaurant.

When Jiang Chao had a moment’s break, he glanced through the glass partition and saw his parents and grandfather had left sometime ago.

Hmm, dad and mom should have gotten an idea of the boss’s cooking after tasting the food, and hopefully, they’re reassured now.

Jiang Chao was zoning out, staring at the glass partition.

Lin Zifeng noticed and waved a hand in front of Jiang Chao’s face, "Jiang Chao, what are you thinking? Hurry up and chop the braised pig’s trotters, someone ordered a braised pig’s trotter rice."

"Oh, alright, I’ll prepare it right away."

Jiang Chao snapped out of it and promptly got back to the task of chopping braised pig’s trotters.
