Listening to Old Qin and Lao Liu’s high praises, and seeing the crowd of neighbors and customers immersed in the gourmet food, the corners of Huang Tao’s mouth couldn’t help but turn up in a smile.

Who could refuse such professional commendation?

He lifted his eyes and glanced at the nearby customers immersed in the food again. The unanimous exclamations of "It’s really damn delicious" made him shake his head helplessly.

Uh~

What a bunch of repeating machines!

Meanwhile, Li Yuanfu and other bigwigs and wealthy second-generation folks, who had already placed their orders and were waiting for their dining spots, looked at the neighbors dining in the restaurant, all showing expressions of enjoyment, as if their lives had gained enormous joy, and after hearing such high praise...

The deliciousness of these soup dumplings was clearly evident!

At that moment, Li Yuanfu and the others could hardly wait to eat!

They didn’t want to wait even a second longer!

And the fans of Liu Feifei, standing in line at the door, couldn’t help but start discussing after hearing this.

"OMG, these reviews make me drool! But aren’t these reviews a bit over-the-top?"

"Those two must be professional food critics, right? Their praise is so flashy! It’s dazzling!"

"Whoa~ there are so many bigwigs hidden in this little restaurant!"

"Where did the owner find these people? Just hearing them talk makes my mouth water."

The fans weren’t so much shocked by the soup dumplings but rather dazed by the sincere evaluations from Old Qin and Lao Liu.

Wait a minute!

This little restaurant has quite a few big shots!

A male fan wearing a baseball cap muttered quietly, "Huh? There really are bigwigs here!"

"What bigwigs?"

The male fan in the baseball cap: "See that table over there? The chubby uncle in the branded suit on the left, if I’m not mistaken, he should be Li Yuanfu, the chairman of Min’an Group."

"Who is Li Yuanfu? I only know the boss of Wanda."

"Is he very famous?"

After shooting a disdainful look of "How can you be so ignorant" at his companions, the baseball cap-wearing male fan said, "Min’an Group has ventures in real estate, finance, pharmaceuticals, and new energy in the country. All the companies combined have a market value of 1.2 trillion..."

"And the person next to him is his brother-in-law Jiang Zhouming, the chairman of Huasheng Group, with a market value of 300 billion. Their Li family holds 65% of the shares, worth nearly 200 billion! You can look up the details with Baidu."

The male fan in the baseball cap knew so much partly because Liu Feifei followed Li Yuanfu, the chairman of Min’an Group, on social media, sparking his curiosity and leading him to research Li Yuanfu’s family connections on Baidu thoroughly.

Upon hearing this, many people, half-doubtful, picked up their phones to search on Baidu.

Who knew...

Upon checking the information, they were stunned.

They compared the person with the online photos.

Holy crap!

It really is him!

Their chins nearly dropped to their shoes.

Speaking of which!

Such wealthy people still came to a tiny restaurant to dine?

Are they crazy?

What’s this about?

"These bigwigs are used to extravagant food; they probably can’t even stomach this..."

However...

They were mistaken!

Li Yuanfu and Jiang Zhouming, among others, picked up a spoon of wontons and brought it to their mouths.

As soon as they tasted it, the tender wonton skin and rich flavor exploded in their mouths.

It really exploded!

That one bite made their hungry stomachs instantly rejoice.

Second bite, third bite...

In no time, they finished a bowl of wontons.

The fans watching were dumbfounded!

"Whoa, they... they finished it?"

"Those bigwigs ate so fast... have they not eaten for three days and nights or something?"

"But it looks like it’s really delicious! Damn, watching this made me hungry too!"

"No need to watch; this place must be delicious! Just the aroma is mouthwatering."

"Yeah, that expression can’t be faked! When the bigwigs took their first bite, their eyes lit up, and they looked unsatisfied even after finishing. The flavor must be really good!"

"I estimated, this bowl of wontons, those bigwigs finished it in about 40 seconds."

"Uh, do you think those bigwigs might have been paid for this?"

"Who could afford to pay these big shots?"

"Enough said, I must order these wontons. I want to try what took the bigwigs only 40 seconds to finish!"

"Yes, yes, yes, eating wontons in the same restaurant as these bigwigs, I’ll have bragging rights for New Year’s!"

While these fans hadn’t yet gotten their turn to order and were bored, they started spreading the story of their encounter with business magnates dining in the restaurant far and wide.

...

"Gululu~"

Li Yuanfu and the others, still unsatisfied, picked up their bowls and gulped down the remaining bit of broth, leaving not a drop behind.

Just after they finished eating, Li Chengzhan brought the soup dumplings.

"Here are your soup dumplings, enjoy."

Li Yuanfu didn’t even thank him, after all, it was the kid serving his father, no need for thanks.

He took out a small dish and poured a bit of vinegar.

Ready to dig in!

He held chopsticks in one hand, and a large plate in the other, carefully picking up a steaming, snow-white, translucent soup dumpling from the steamer.

The soup dumpling was as plump as a small lantern, with the soup inside faintly visible as it shifted.

It had a smooth texture that seemed delicate as a bubble.

Don’t even mention eating it!

Just looking at it was a visual delight!

He placed the soup dumpling on the plate, filling it perfectly.

Using chopsticks, he gently tore a bit of the skin, and the rich aroma of the soup mixed with the dough instantly filled his nostrils and gradually spread around.

"Sluurrp~"

Ignoring the heat, he slowly sipped the rosy broth, following the enticing aroma.

In that instant...

His lips and tongue were enveloped by the savory broth, slowly sipping it all out of the dumpling.

The soup dumpling was left with just the skin wrapping the filling.

Then, he poured a bit of vinegar into the opening, picked up the soup dumpling, and swallowed it whole.

The thin skin of the soup dumpling wrapped around the fresh meat filling, and the slight vinegar acidity enhanced the umami, making it both satisfying and fulfilling to eat!

Of course.

One soup dumpling was not enough to satiate his appetite.

Unconsciously, he finished an entire steamer of soup dumplings and finally showed a look of contentment.

"This is the first time I’ve eaten such delicious wontons and soup dumplings, Boss Huang’s craftsmanship is truly amazing!"

Li Yuanfu, the first to finish eating, put down his chopsticks and couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Boss Huang’s craftsmanship is several levels above that century-old shop in Jinling."

Jiang Zhouming smacked his lips, savoring the taste, and continued, "Last year, I traveled to Jinling with my family and specifically went to eat their soup dumplings. It was crowded, and the one who made the soup dumplings there was indeed a master."

"At the time, I thought it was supremely delicious, but now it seems that Boss Huang’s skills are unmatched in the world!"

The others nodded in agreement.

And it was the fans’ turn to order now.

The male fan wearing a baseball cap, seeing the price of the soup dumplings, couldn’t help but feel a bit pained: "Hiss~ is it really that expensive? A steamer of soup dumplings for 30 yuan?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Tao didn’t say a word.

Honestly, the pricing at 30 yuan was still reasonable, not very expensive.

Outside, casually buying a steamer would cost 18 yuan, with a regular pricing generally around 20 yuan.

However, those soup dumplings have minced meat mixed by machine.

His meat filling was purely hand-chopped, incomparable to those things.

"This price isn’t expensive!"

Li Yuanfu said with a smile, "Boss Huang’s soup dumplings, the meat filling is hand-chopped with a vegetable knife, incomparable to those outside, just taste it and you’ll know if it’s worth it."

Since the big guy said so, we should order a steamer to try it then.

After all, we’re already here!

"Alright, I’ll order a portion of wontons and a steamer of soup dumplings, then. More would be too much to eat."

This remark caught the attention of the regulars in the shop.

They also turned to look at these fans and laughed.

Too much?

What an international joke!

Just a bowl of wontons and a steamer of soup dumplings could be finished in a blink.

A potbellied middle-aged man, speaking in an experienced tone, kindly advised, "Young man, for your gastronomic pleasure, I suggest you buy an extra serving."

"What do you mean?"

"No meaning, just worried that you might want another serving once you finish eating."

"Hey~"

The male fan with the baseball cap laughed and said, "If it’s really that good, I can order another one! I’ll just order one for now and taste it first."

Seeing him persist, the potbellied middle-aged man didn’t say more and let it be.

But, there would be times they’d regret it!

After all, if you want to order more after finishing, you’d have to queue up again.

Queuing up again, trying to eat more, would be difficult...
