Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 345 - 335: This Token of Kindness Warms His Heart
Inside Delicious Restaurant.
The customers in line ahead all chose a portion of deep-fried crispy rolls without hesitation to try something fresh.
One hundred portions of deep-fried crispy rolls sound like a lot.
But when selling, it took just half an hour to run out.
Not enough to sell!
When the last portion of deep-fried crispy rolls was ordered, the customers waiting to make their orders, upon learning that there were no more deep-fried crispy rolls left for lunch, their expressions instantly changed from expectation to despair.
The people waiting behind still didn’t know what was going on.
The person in front turned their head and informed, "Here’s some ’good news,’ Boss Huang’s deep-fried crispy rolls are sold out."
A few seconds later...
The heart-wrenching wails once again traveled from the front of the queue to the back.
The sound of wailing fell upon the ears of traffic police officers Wang Zhoubin and Sun Linhai, who both displayed a "seen it all, nothing new" expression, with their hearts unfazed, even a little balanced.
They thought this way because after finishing their duty, they definitely couldn’t count on the deep-fried crispy rolls, and if they could just get something to fill their stomachs, they would be content.
Of course, deep down, there was still a sense of disappointment.
But now, with so many customers who couldn’t buy the deep-fried crispy rolls queuing up with them, their slightly unbalanced feelings instantly became balanced.
Sun Linhai picked at his ear, flicked it, trying to flick away the sound of wailing.
As he picked his ear, he muttered, "Why do I feel like the wailing at Boss Huang’s store today is even more mournful than yesterday’s noon episode!"
"Maybe it’s because more people are queuing today than yesterday!" Wang Zhoubin glanced at the zigzagging queue in front of the Delicious Restaurant and chuckled helplessly.
"Yeah, indeed more than yesterday!"
Sun Linhai stretched his neck to take a look and nodded in agreement, while also feeling a slight, irresistible marvel in his heart.
Sigh!
Only Boss Huang could make customers wail like this.
Sigh!
Only Boss Huang could draw so many customers to line up and once again block this street.
As a result, our traffic police team’s performance improved by leaps and bounds.
Even with the power of one shop, it rejuvenated all the nearby stores.
All were bustling with business, completely packed.
He was right.
As Huang Tao’s restaurant became more popular, more and more customers flocked over by reputation.
Some diners who couldn’t wait chose other restaurants to satisfy their cravings.
And so...
The business of other restaurants on this street was also booming.
The biggest beneficiary was still the noodle shop closest to the Delicious Restaurant. At mealtime, it was not only full but customers kept coming in an endless stream!
They all knew they were benefiting from Huang Tao’s popularity.
During downtime, they would proactively go find Huang Tao to chat and occasionally send over some fruits.
Inside the store.
Huang Tao, having sold out of deep-fried crispy rolls, immediately put down his work, picked up his phone, and opened a certain blog.
He instructed Lin Zifeng to comment under the newly posted blog:
[The 100 portions of deep-fried crispy rolls for lunch have sold out. Thank you to all the new and old customers for your support. Heartfelt!]
At this time, netizens were quite active!
Especially the customers who couldn’t buy them, within a minute many comments popped up.
The mountain moon does not know the secrets of the heart: Omg, I wanted to support it too! But Boss Huang, you just didn’t give me a chance! I was about to order, but before I got the chance, I heard the deep-fried crispy rolls were sold out. All my expectations and dreams turned into despair.
Time Flies, Youth is Tainted with Dust: Hahaha, I was lucky to be one of the 100, these deep-fried crispy rolls are incredibly delicious, crispy with every bite, just like its name, looking forward to next time (handshake).
Entwined Waist: Help, I was the next to order. Without the deep-fried crispy rolls, I had to settle for a nourishing fish soup and a three-in-one marinated rice. Well, actually it’s not bad, but there’s just something indescribable... a feeling of dissatisfaction!
Little Naughty: Sigh! Pity us who haven’t even seen a shadow of the deep-fried crispy rolls! All I can do now is keep refreshing the real-time updates on the blog, hoping to see some lucky ones share their photos, and then look at the pictures to curb my craving.
Gentle Code Sigh: To the one above, here’s your wish fulfilled: image1.jpg, image2.jpg
Lin Zifeng couldn’t resist clicking on the pictures.
The images revealed a tempting portion of deep-fried crispy rolls, and the photographer captured it from a good angle.
It seemed to have a food filter applied, making the color of the deep-fried crispy rolls more vivid and enticing.
A flood of comments quickly scrolled by, filled with screams and cries.
Some even jokingly accused the person who posted the pictures of being too much.
Some replied that they wanted to eat deep-fried crispy tofu.
Lin Zifeng picked a few comments from Weibo and read them to Huang Tao.
Upon hearing this, Huang Tao thought for a moment and asked Lin Zifeng to reply under his previous post:
[There will also be 150 servings of deep-fried crispy tofu in the evening, officially on sale after 5 p.m. If you want some, remember to come by~]
As the blogger, his reply would be pinned at the top for all the fans to see.
As for increasing the number of servings of deep-fried crispy tofu in the evening, one reason was because it sold out so quickly at noon and received great feedback, and another reason was that they were not complicated to make, and many could be fried at once.
This arrangement was actually beyond the original plan, so he could only ask Lin Zifeng to send a WeChat message to Old Wang at the pork stall and the tofu skin vendor, requesting more ingredients to be delivered.
After receiving a confirmed reply.
Lin Zifeng put away his phone and returned it to Huang Tao, then continued with his work.
On the other side.
Wang Zhoubin and Sun Linhai, after finishing their shift, hurried over without delay to line up.
Fortunately, luck was on their side, and they were able to purchase two servings of braised chicken drumstick rice, which they happily dug into.
As the rice entered their mouths, both of them felt their bodies, previously chilled by the cold wind, warm up.
They ate with great relish.
Not long after, the lunch rush ended.
Huang Tao washed his hands, took off the chefs’ outfits, and walked out of the kitchen, ready to sit on a dining chair for a break.
The last batch of diners saw him come out and greeted him with smiles.
"Boss Huang, your cooking skills are absolutely amazing! Not only is it delicious, but it’s consistently delicious every day. I could eat it for a lifetime and never get enough!"
"Just now, I was lucky enough to taste a piece of deep-fried crispy tofu from the neighbor ahead in the queue, and I must say, it was really good."
"I’m envious! I came late today and didn’t even catch a glimpse of the deep-fried crispy tofu, but judging from the pictures posted on Weibo, it must be delicious."
"I’ll wait a bit to see Boss Huang, then I’ll quickly handle some things at home and come back; I refuse to believe I won’t get any deep-fried crispy tofu tonight."
Huang Tao chatted with them briefly with a smile.
After they all left, he sat down on a dining chair.
At this moment, Jiang Guowei lifted the wind curtain, peering in: "Boss Huang, finished for the day?"
"Jiang, you’re here."
Seeing that it was his good neighbor, Huang Tao smiled knowingly, then pointed to the counter and said, "The food you wanted is at the counter, you can take it yourself!"
"Thank you! Boss Huang."
Jiang Guowei felt particularly lucky to have gotten to know Huang Tao before his small shop opened.
Their relationship had always been good.
This is why he’s fortunate enough to have Boss Huang save meals for him every day.
This privilege, throughout the entire West City Old Street, how many can have it?
Jiang Guowei took his takeout box and asked with a smile: "Boss Huang, I heard you made a new dish of deep-fried crispy tofu at noon?"
He had gone out for deliveries in the morning, and upon rushing back at noon, heard this exciting news.
But it was too late.
There were too many people in the queue at the shop’s entrance.
He also didn’t contact Huang Tao via WeChat to save a portion of the new deep-fried crispy tofu.
He had seen how bustling the small shop’s business was.
Therefore, he didn’t want to bother Huang Tao during his busy times, lest he interfere with Huang Tao’s work.
Besides, he had already asked Huang Tao to reserve two portions of the three-in-one braised rice in the morning, which was already a significant favor.
He couldn’t make any more excessive requests.
Thinking that he lived just next door, more convenient than others, he planned to come back in the evening to buy some.
If he still couldn’t get any, it would just mean he was too lazy.
"Yes."
Huang Tao nodded and said: "I packed a few pieces of deep-fried crispy tofu in the takeout box for you, try them with your wife when you get home."
Hearing that he also had a share, Jiang Guowei felt warm inside!
This gesture made him feel good.
It was reminiscent of the mutual care among neighbors from years ago.
So nice, so nice!
Of course, in the future, Huang Tao’s business would also be his business.
