Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 387 - 377: Their Lucky Star!

It’s not even 3 o’clock yet!

The customers from out of town are already lining up again.

This time they’ve come armed with queueing gadgets.

Indeed.

They are actually imitating those neighborhood folks from noon.

Specifically buying folding chairs, cushions, and windbreakers from nearby shops on Old Street, sitting at the shop’s doorstep scrolling on their phones, sipping on soda.

While leisurely enjoying themselves, they’ve also rarefully relaxed.

Of course, nearby vendors, thanks to their arrival, have also seen a significant increase in sales.

Even Jiang Guowei’s little convenience store is busier than usual today, the flow of people is endless.

The profits are considerable!

And all of this success is thanks to Boss Huang!

Boss Huang is not only the gem of this street but also their lucky star...

It’s not just these out-of-town customers who have come early to line up.

There are also many locals and affluent second-generation kids who routinely come early.

Even those four high school girls have brought their own queueing gadgets, coming early to line up.

They are hoping to have a good meal here before heading back to school for evening study.

This is one of their happiest days of the week.

Of course, every Wednesday is also a happy day for them.

After all, their parents would bring them a treat from Delicious Restaurant in the evening to satisfy their cravings.

Now, they are sitting at the back of the queue, with headphones on, listening to English vocabulary.

One could say, it’s not just about studying hard now.

Even queueing up has become more and more competitive!

You come at 4 to queue, I come at 3:30.

You come at 3:30, then I’ll come at 3.

Now, even these out-of-town customers are getting competitive, arriving before 3.

They really!

To eat at Huang Tao’s restaurant, they’re more enthusiastic than clocking in for work.

They can’t wait to finish lunch and wait at Huang Tao’s door.

Jiang Guowei and Chen Wenli are sitting at their own store’s door, guarding the shop while basking in the sun!

The afternoon sun is warm since it’s not in the shade.

"Boss Huang’s business is getting better, and it makes the entire West City Old Street more bustling. You never saw so many young people and out-of-towners before!" Chen Wenli sighed while basking in the sun, looking at the ever-growing queue with her hands.

Luckily, at the last moment, Mrs. Lin changed her mind and rented the property to Huang Tao, allowing him to successfully expand the store and indirectly keep Boss Huang around.

Speaking of which.

She also didn’t expect that in the end, Mrs. Lin had to change her mind because of her son and daughter-in-law and rented out the ground floor of the old house!

On second thought, it made sense.

After all, nearly ten thousand yuan in monthly rent is tempting.

This rent is equivalent to a young person’s monthly salary.

Understanding their stress is easy, but back then, one couldn’t help but sigh.

Mrs. Lin didn’t hold back in scolding her son and daughter-in-law when they met back then.

Until dinner time when Jiang Guowei brought some dishes from Boss Huang to entertain Mr. and Mrs. Lin,

The Lin couple tasted it and then felt less regret, considering renting to Huang Tao for expansion was worthwhile.

Since then, the Lin couple has also fallen in love with Boss Huang’s food.

Whenever they have time, they would also come for a feast!

Jiang Guowei cheerfully said, "That’s right, before it was just us vendors or nearby elderly residents or residents who came and went early and late. Now it’s lively and vibrant."

The transformation of West City Old Street is delightful!

Not to mention that the nearby residents loved eating at Delicious Restaurant from the start, this period brought by the influx of people to Delicious Restaurant.

The rent for the Old Street shops has increased significantly, not to mention the rise in nearby house prices, and the new apartment sales are in high demand.

The businesses of different vendors are also booming!

Now, people from out of town even come all the way here to West City Old Street on weekends to eat at Delicious Restaurant.

Judging by the situation, these out-of-town customers have already become loyal fans of Delicious Restaurant!

They’ll definitely come back frequently in the future!

Jiang Guowei and Chen Wenli are happy for Huang Tao and hope he can keep operating on the West City Old Street for a long time.

This way, they, as small vendors, can also benefit and live good lives.

Soon.

It was 5 o’clock.

Huang Tao’s shop opened for business once again.

The out-of-town customers at the front of the queue rushed inside first.

"I can finally eat, it’s not easy!"

"Who says it isn’t! I came late at noon and couldn’t get any food from this place, so I made sure to come and queue early in the afternoon for over two hours! Finally, I can have a taste now. You have no idea, I’ve been craving it all afternoon."

"I managed to eat at noon, but only had a braised chicken wing meal and a bowl of fish ball soup. The taste, hmm, was really delicious. I’ve never tasted such good food before! So, unsatisfied, here I am again for another meal because once I go back, it’s hard to have it again, not until next Sunday the earliest."

They lined up in an orderly fashion at the automatic ordering machine.

Ordered all the dishes in the shop.

Wanting to taste everything and have their fill.

Additionally, to make up for the regret of missing out at noon!

Huang Tao, upon seeing the orders, couldn’t help but remind: "That’s a lot, you might not finish it."

The out-of-town guests laughed and waved it off.

"No worries, if we can’t finish, we’ll package it to go; but not getting enough is not an option!"

"Boss, I came to eat at your place already prepared to leave leaning against the wall."

Given the guests’ determination, Huang Tao didn’t say more.

Immediately started cooking.

Luckily, his dish-servicing speed is fast.

In less than ten minutes, the dozen or so out-of-town customers in the queue all received their meals.

"Wow, this is so aromatic, this roast duck is so fragrant and delicious! Even better than Quanjude’s, and this honeyed ham is so, so good..."

They were immersed in devouring the food.

Feeling that the effort of coming all this way and waiting outside all day was worth it.

Such delicious food is worth waiting for!

Huang Tao, together with the three assisting chefs, continued cooking for the local patrons and the four high school girls who had ordered food.

Song Cailian and Huang Yide, the elderly couple, accompanied Xuanxuan in drawing.

The evening was very cold outside.

But the shop’s business was booming.

The queue of customers outside was growing longer and longer.

Stretching from Huang Tao’s storefront all the way to the street corner.

The other restaurant owners drooled with envy but also sincerely admired Huang Tao.

The food Huang Tao cooked was really tasty.

The more incredible thing was, it remained consistently delicious and even got better!

Unlike their restaurants, despite following recipes every day, the taste can be inconsistent!

This craftsmanship is outrageous, outrageously perfect!

Before 7 o’clock, all the ingredients prepared in Huang Tao’s shop were sold out.

Indicating the end of today’s dinner service!

Huang Yide saw Huang Tao finishing up and said with a smile: "Tao, it’s getting late. Your mom and I should get going; we have work in the morning!"

"Grandpa, Grandma, I hate to see you go!"

Hearing this, Xuanxuan looked up with a small face, pitifully saying.

She likes having all her family around.

Song Cailian reached out to rub Xuanxuan’s little head, kindly saying: "Grandpa and Grandma can come see you again next week!"

Xuanxuan blinked her beautiful big eyes: "Really?"

Song Cailian and Huang Yide nodded earnestly in unison: "Really!"

Xuanxuan nodded obediently: "Alright then!"

At this moment, the taxi Huang Tao booked for his parents had arrived at the door.

Indeed, the taxi driver he booked was Lin Jingsong.

Huang Tao helped his parents load their properly packed luggage into the trunk of the taxi.

After giving some reminders to Huang Tao and Xuanxuan, Song Cailian got in the car.

"Grandma, Grandpa, see you next week!"

Huang Tao and Xuanxuan watched the tail lights of the taxi disappear around the corner, and Huang Tao lowered his head to tell Xuanxuan: "Let’s go home!"

"Okay!"
