Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 364 - 354: Is There Really Something Delicious Here?

Chapter 364: Chapter 354: Is There Really Something Delicious Here?

"Screech!"

A piercing sound of brakes echoed, catching the attention of many people along the West City Old Street.

A luxury car!

Appearing on this somewhat outdated old street always felt abrupt to people.

"Hey, is that a luxury car? It looks very high-end and expensive!"

"This car definitely looks like something I can’t afford, but forgive my ignorance, I don’t recognize what kind of car it is."

"It seems to be a Rolls-Royce Phantom Chief Edition, costing around twenty million! I really want to touch their wheels!"

"Sigh~ Twenty million! I’ll never make that kind of money in my lifetime. Damn rich people!"

"By the way, what are these rich people doing here late at night?"

"What else could they be doing? They’re definitely here for Boss Huang’s delicious food! Look, they parked their car near Boss Huang’s shop entrance, and there’s a red carpet laid out there. I just heard from some policemen leaving that the grandmother of Boss Huang’s wealthy employee is celebrating her birthday in the shop tonight! It seems like it must be them!"

The neighbors were naturally familiar with Li Chengzhan, the wealthy young server. Plus, in recent times, they’ve seen numerous luxury cars. So, they just glanced over nonchalantly and then looked away.

But they were slightly puzzled in their hearts.

Puzzled about why Boss Huang suddenly hosted a banquet!

Each of their minds started to become active.

Thinking that if there’s a happy event at home that requires a feast, could they book a few tables at Boss Huang’s place?

Boss Huang’s food is so delicious, and with Boss Huang’s fame in the city, hosting a banquet at his place would surely bring some prestige!

Only to find out that Boss Huang’s place doesn’t accept banquet bookings from the public, and this birthday celebration is just an internal benefit for the employees.

The neighbors sighed in disappointment and grew even more envious of Huang Tao’s employees for having such benefits.

Speaking of which, when is Boss Huang hiring next time?

Maybe they should give it a try too?

Meanwhile, once the Rolls-Royce Phantom Chief Edition had come to a stable stop.

A suited chauffeur uncle got out of the driver’s seat, jogged around the front of the car, and opened the right rear door, respectfully placing his hand above the door: "Chairman Li, we’ve arrived at the place you mentioned, please get out."

"Okay, thank you."

The voice of Li Yuanfu came from inside the car.

Then Li Yuanfu, Qin Yumin, and Li Xinzhong got out of the car and instructed the driver: "You can wait for us here!"

The driver nodded in agreement: "Alright, Chairman Li."

The three of them looked around.

This was a two-way street, with two-story old buildings on each side.

The ground floors were all shops.

Noodle shops, convenience stores, fruit stalls, accessory stores, and so on.

The living amenities were quite complete.

But the problem was, they came to have a birthday celebration...

Originally, this birthday banquet was supposed to be held at a famous five-star hotel in Jiang City, just like in previous years, arranged by Li Fuyuan.

Then invite a group of business tycoons and relatives to celebrate the old lady’s birthday together.

Who would have thought a disruption would come out of nowhere. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

It was his son, Li Chengzhan.

He called the old lady, saying he wanted to celebrate her birthday here in Wenling City.

The dinner location was at his workplace, starting at eight in the evening.

He also mentioned that the location was arranged because his boss considered him an employee and offered this rare and precious opportunity to reserve the place after dinner hours as an employee benefit.

Especially his boss’s culinary skills, which he praised as unparalleled.

The old lady beamed with joy upon hearing this.

After all, it was the first time her eldest grandson had specially arranged a birthday celebration for her.

Moreover, the old lady had always been concerned about her eldest grandson’s work here, taking this opportunity to see him.

So she insisted on celebrating here.

She wouldn’t listen to anyone else!

Forcing him to cancel the five-star hotel reservation early.

Even Jiang Mingtao questioned why the banquet was suddenly canceled.

He had no choice but to use the excuse that the old lady didn’t want to make a big deal about it this year and just wanted a small family gathering as a cover.

Fortunately, Jiang Mingtao, although suspicious, didn’t pursue further.

Even better, the invitation cards for the birthday banquet hadn’t been sent out yet, otherwise, it would have been a joke among business tycoons and relatives.

However, quite a few business friends and relatives had called earlier, inquiring about the old lady’s birthday arrangement this year. He used the same reasoning of "the old lady didn’t want to make a big deal, just a small family gathering" to tide them over.

Everyone expressed understanding and asked him to convey their best wishes to the old lady over the phone.

Given the situation.

In the evening, he brought his parents and had the driver drive them here.

Upon arrival, despite his prior research, he was still a bit dumbfounded.

A big question mark popped up in my mind: "Can this place really have anything delicious?"

If those media reporters found out.

He, the Chairman of Li Group, is actually hosting a birthday banquet for his elderly mother in a small restaurant. Who knows how they’ll report it!

At best, they’ll label him stingy, at worst, they’ll slap him with a headline about a financial crisis at Li Group.

Li Xinzhong, who didn’t have great eyesight, looked around but couldn’t spot the "So Delicious" restaurant. He asked puzzledly, "Yuanfu, is the restaurant over here?"

"Yeah, it’s right here."

Li Yuanfu glanced around, raised a finger and pointed, "Dad, look, the one with the red carpet and the flower lanterns marked with ’Fortune’ and ’Prosperity’ on both sides of the entrance."

With that, Li Xinzhong and Qin Yumin accurately located their destination.

So Delicious.

Hmm, the name is a bit... common!

The storefront... well, just a sign, two glass doors, and a big floor-to-ceiling window,

Seems alright!

The couple didn’t really mind.

Having the birthday banquet there isn’t different from anywhere else, is it?

As long as the family is together, that’s what matters!

"Screech!"

"Screech!"

Consecutive braking sounds came from behind.

A Maybach and a Porsche 911 pulled up.

A distinguished woman poked her head out from the back seat of the Maybach, her chestnut bob carefully styled to be fluffy, with exquisite makeup on her face.

Clearly, she had dressed up carefully for the occasion.

Without waiting for the driver to open the door, Li Meiling eagerly got out from the left side, holding a gift, stepping in her high heels, and hurried towards her mother, Qin Yumin, locking arms with her: "Mom, Dad, Brother, you all arrived before us..."

"Just barely before you did."

Qin Yumin gently patted her daughter’s hand and laughed, "Zhou Ming, Xiaohang have both arrived..."

"Yeah, they’re here."

Jiang Zhouming got out from the right side of the car, courteously greeted them: "Mom, Dad, Brother..."

"Hello, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle."

A young man dressed in simple, trendy clothes emerged from the driver’s seat of the Porsche 911.

This person was none other than Li Meiling and Jiang Zhouming’s son, Jiang Qihang!

A second-generation rich kid, but ambitious.

During the short video boom, he started an account, visiting popular places online that everyone wanted to go to but didn’t have the time for.

Then he would provide reviews, letting everyone know whether those places were worth visiting.

Since he didn’t lack money, his reviews were always fair and unbiased.

However, he didn’t have many fans, only about 100,000 or so.

But he kept at it enthusiastically.

Not for any other reason, just because it made him happy.

Today, he came with his parents especially to celebrate his grandmother’s birthday.

They were all surprised to find out the birthday banquet was being held in Wenling City, and at a small restaurant at that.

When they heard the news, they were so surprised they thought they must have misheard.

Upon learning that it was arranged by Li Chengzhan, and that the venue was his place of work,

They weren’t surprised anymore.

This is exactly the kind of thing Li Chengzhan would do!

They were just surprised that Li Yuanfu would let him carry on like this.

But being outsiders, they didn’t feel it was their place to say anything, since they’d been invited, they came.

Seeing the venue made them more certain that Li Chengzhan was unreliable!

Extremely unreliable!

They had heard that good food isn’t afraid of a hidden location, but they never heard that a shabby shop could produce a treasure...

While they were still digesting the simplicity of Boss Huang’s small restaurant, feeling somewhat unsettled, or to say, displeased.

Their host, Li Chengzhan, upon seeing his family, quickly came up to greet them enthusiastically: "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Aunt, Uncle, Xiaohang, you’re here..."

"Xiaozhan..."

Seeing their grandson, Qin Yumin and Li Xinzhong quickly went up, their faces breaking into wide smiles.

"Grandpa, Grandma, everything’s ready inside."

Li Chengzhan said with a smile, "Let’s go in."

Jiang Qihang glanced at them, didn’t say anything, and obediently followed them inside.
