Chapter 384: Chapter 374: Just Like the Milk Pudding I Love

In the restaurant.

Huang Tao and the employees didn’t pay any attention to the celebrities.

Nowadays, more and more new customers from out of town are coming to the restaurant.

The number of people dining in the restaurant has also increased accordingly.

And then...

Li Chengzhan and Lin Qiuyu, the two waiters, felt busier and happier than usual...

Yeah, weaving between the tables felt great for a moment, and constantly weaving between the tables felt great all the time...

So delightful!

Of course, it was quite tiring on the legs and arms!

Even so, they felt the pain and joy at the same time!

After all, carrying plates for a while in exchange for an enviable staff meal was totally worth it!

Li Chengzhan swiftly served the dishes ordered by Mr. Jiang, while politely saying, "Mr. Jiang, here are your three orders of marinated pork rice, a nourishing fish soup, half a roasted chicken, a portion of oil-braised shrimp, and crispy fried slices..."

"Ah! Great, thank you!"

Mr. Jiang cheerfully thanked him and watched Li Chengzhan leave.

His granddaughter came over to play early this morning, and at noon, he and his wife brought their granddaughter to Delicious Restaurant for a meal.

This had become something Niuniu looked forward to the most.

The reason she came to her grandparents’ house was for the food.

Smelling the rich aroma of the brine in the air and looking at the colorful and fragrant dishes on the table, her little stomach growled a few times.

The little one shyly placed her hand on her tummy and quietly glanced up to see if her grandparents had noticed her tummy’s little noise.

Mr. Jiang laughed heartily and said, "Not just Niuniu, even I’m tempted by these dishes."

Niuniu relaxed immediately, happily saying in her childish voice, "Yeah, Grandpa, my mom and dad also love the food here! But they’re very busy and don’t have time to come, which means I haven’t been able to eat here for a while!"

She pouted in grievance.

Almost ready to shed a few "golden tears" for Mr. Jiang to see!

This little look of hers was so endearing!

It made Mr. Jiang and his wife feel sorry for her.

Mr. Jiang quickly said, "From now on, every weekend, Grandpa will pick you up for a meal here, okay?"

Niuniu beamed with a smile and happily replied loudly, "Okay~"

"Enough talk, let’s eat! It won’t be as good once it’s cold."

Saying this, Mrs. Jiang pushed a bowl of marinated pork rice in front of Niuniu, and the roast chicken, oil-braised shrimp, and crispy fried slices were also moved closer to her.

As for the nourishing fish soup and fish ball soup, they moved them towards themselves, trying not to let their granddaughter smell them.

No other choice!

Their granddaughter is picky and doesn’t like vegetables or fish, be it river or sea fish, she doesn’t like them. If she drinks fish soup, she has such a strong reaction that she might throw up.

But the two elders were very fond of the nourishing fish soup, so to avoid the scent reaching Niuniu, they had to move it aside.

Anyway, they couldn’t help but grumble inwardly:

Ah!

How did our obedient granddaughter get raised like this!

In the old days, if they could have a bite of meat or fish, they didn’t know how happy they would be.

Unlike kids nowadays, who are picky and don’t like vegetables, radishes, or fish.

This child only eats properly when having a meal from Delicious Restaurant, and might eat some vegetables. At home, her mother has to coax her to eat.

At this moment, Niuniu had already picked up a spoon and didn’t forget to invite them, "Grandpa, Grandma, you eat too!"

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang chuckled, "Ah, sure!"

Niuniu first used her spoon to scoop some marinated pork, then stuffed it into her little mouth.

The salty taste suited her, and she gently bit a piece of meat, chewing it.

It was especially fragrant!

She couldn’t help but mix a bite of rice with it and exclaimed, "This meat is so tasty!"

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang also first extended their chopsticks to the marinated pork, picked a piece to eat, and when they heard their little granddaughter’s words, they smiled lovingly, nodding in agreement and saying, "Yes, Boss Huang’s marinated pork gets more fragrant and tasty each time!"

The marinated pork was flavorful, the meat was firm yet not tough, and with a gentle bite, it could be torn.

Even with the elderly’s teeth, it wasn’t hard to chew.

Like Niuniu, they instinctively mixed a bite of rice and chewed it together before swallowing.

They also picked up a spoon and scooped a few spoonfuls of the nourishing fish soup to drink.

The taste was full of the fresh sweetness of fish, and small pieces of tender fish slipped into their mouths. A slight press of the tongue turned them into fish meat pieces, with a hint of scallion aroma and a light saltiness, and it didn’t need much chewing before being swallowed in one go.

So satisfying!

Mr. Jiang sighed, "Ah, this nourishing fish soup is as delicious as ever! Even drinking it every day wouldn’t make you get tired of it..."

Mrs. Jiang also nodded in agreement.

Although Niuniu is small, she can understand most of the words.

She doesn’t really like eating fish, but when she heard Grandpa talking about how delicious the fish soup is, she couldn’t help but be curious.

Plus, she didn’t have any soup to drink.

So she simply tugged on Grandma’s hand beside her, lifted her pink little face, and curiously asked, "Grandma, I also want to drink the soup you’re having."

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.

She thought, oh no, she had intentionally moved the fish soup further away, not wanting her to smell the aroma of the fish soup.

How come she wants to drink the fish soup now!

She helplessly said directly, "Niuniu! This is fish soup; you can’t drink it."

Grandpa Jiang quickly added, "Yes, yes, you can’t drink this fish soup. If you’re thirsty, Grandpa will pour you a glass of hot water or buy you a bottle of milk, okay?"

Logically speaking, as elders dealing with their granddaughter’s picky eating.

Their attitude should be continually persuading her: Try it, just try it, how will you know you don’t like it if you don’t try? The reason why you vomited before is completely psychological.

The reason Grandpa and Mrs. Jiang didn’t say it.

Is because they had done so before.

But their granddaughter almost vomited every time she finished the fish soup, quite ungraciously.

After many attempts, they didn’t insist anymore.

Not only to spare the child, but also to avoid being blamed by their daughter.

Seeing that Grandpa and Grandma wouldn’t let her drink, and smelling the soup in Grandma’s bowl, Niuniu, who suddenly felt hungry, became more persistent and shouted, "I want to drink it, I just want to drink it!"

Unable to resist their granddaughter, Mrs. Jiang reluctantly gave in.

She handed the bowl of nourishing fish soup to Niuniu and instructed, "Then you just try a little bit with the spoon."

Grandpa Jiang sat beside her thinking.

This nourishing fish soup doesn’t have any fishy smell at all and it’s exceptionally delicious.

Maybe their little granddaughter can really drink it!

He truly believed in the old saying:

Food is meant for those who are hungry.

If you can’t eat it, it’s because you’re not hungry enough.

In today’s words, if you can’t eat it, it’s because it’s not good enough.

Niuniu obediently nodded, extended her spoon towards the nourishing fish soup.

Scooped a spoonful.

Lightly sipping it over the tongue then swallowing it down.

She unconsciously flashed a happy squint with her eyes: "It’s tasty."

Next, she used a spoon to scoop a piece of fish, slurped it up into her mouth, and swallowed it down.

She said happily, "This fish slice is so smooth too, just like... just like the pudding that I love to eat, it’s slippery."

Grandpa Jiang and Mrs. Jiang watched Niuniu nervously, fearing that the little girl who claimed it was tasty might throw it up the next second.

Fortunately, their worries were unnecessary.

Niuniu showed no signs of nausea at all.

Grandpa Jiang and Mrs. Jiang exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but smile.

They were delighted!

"Niuniu, if you like it, have more, kids should drink more fish soup and eat more fish to get smarter,"

Grandpa Jiang pushed the bowl of nourishing fish soup closer to Niuniu and then looked at his wife, saying, "I told you there’s no child born unable to eat fish, it’s surely because it wasn’t made delicious enough before and didn’t suit Niuniu’s taste."

Mrs. Jiang thought so too.

Her and her daughter’s cooking really couldn’t compare to Huang Tao’s!

Mrs. Jiang couldn’t help but exclaim, "Boss Huang’s culinary skills are indeed remarkable! It seems there’s nothing our Niuniu doesn’t like from his restaurant, she loves practically everything."

Grandpa Jiang said, "Kids growing up still need to eat more fish dishes, or at least like now, occasionally drink some fish soup and eat some fish. Besides, with the fish Boss Huang makes, you don’t have to worry about choking on fish bones, right!"

On the opposite table, Lin Xinjie and Hu Jinlin were eating with their son Doudou.

Their family of three could be considered loyal patrons of the Delicious Restaurant.

As long as they had time, they would come here for a meal, even if they didn’t have time, they’d let Hu Jinlin come to pack some up after work in the evening.

Anyway, their son loved the food in this restaurant.

Who would have thought that until recently, Doudou was so averse to eating meat dishes and would just eat rice with children’s soy sauce every day and wouldn’t even want to go out.

Now he is willing to go out for a walk every week.

And he’s not picky anymore!

Of course, excluding the delicious food from the Delicious Restaurant!

Lin Xinjie watched her son eating with great appetite, often mixing in a bite of rice, his little mouth stuffed full like a little hamster.

She felt happy inside watching him eat!
