Chapter 528: Chapter 514: On the Importance of Maintaining Good Relations with Huang Tao

6:50 AM.

Huang Tao wasn’t ready yet, and the shop wasn’t open.

But the queue of customers at the entrance was growing longer.

The surrounding parking lots were full, and many office workers who came to queue had no choice but to risk getting fined by parking their cars haphazardly by the roadside.

Fortunately, Wang Zhoubin and Sun Linhai, two traffic cops, considering they were customers of the Delicious Restaurant, didn’t immediately "take harsh action" and issue tickets to the improperly parked cars.

Instead, they shouted out license plate numbers to the queuing customers, urging them to quickly come and claim their cars.

The car owners nodded in acknowledgment and earnestly promised to leave immediately after purchasing, pleading for some leniency.

What else could the two traffic cops do?

After all, these people were loyal patrons of the Delicious Restaurant.

They had to show some respect! 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

So!

In respect of Huang Tao, they showed leniency, only verbally instructing them to move their cars quickly so as not to affect the traffic on Old Street.

Then the two of them, as usual, split up to maintain order.

Telling incoming cars not to enter.

Avoiding bringing Old Street to a standstill.

The elderly playing cards and chess for an hour noticed the time and started packing up their tables, as usual, placing them beside Jiang Guowei’s shop entrance.

Then they lined up in order.

Looking ready and waiting for the moment the doors opened.

Many vendors from the market were among them, taking advantage of the low number of shoppers during this time to come and satisfy their breakfast cravings.

Soon enough.

Huang Tao finished preparing and precisely at 7:00, opened the shop for business.

Li Chengzhan flung the doors wide open, smilingly announcing, "Neighbors, come on in, you can order now!"

"Here we go!"

The portly middle-aged man at the front of the queue rushed into the shop, leaving his husky dog behind, heading straight for the self-service kiosk.

The neighbors queuing behind him also hurriedly headed to the counter to place their orders with Ding Suqin.

All at once, the sounds of ordering filled the air.

"I want two baskets of soup dumplings, a bowl of wontons, a bowl of sesame dumplings, plus five three-flavor vegetarian pan-fried buns, five pork and mushroom-filled pan-fried buns, to go, today I finally beat Old Qin."

"Suqin, give me four baskets of soup dumplings, four bowls of wontons, four servings of fried sesame dumplings, and ten beef-filled pan-fried buns, also to go, hurry please, my son and daughter-in-law are waiting for their breakfast!"

"Morning, Suqin, get this old man a bowl of wontons, a basket of soup dumplings, and five beef-filled pan-fried buns."

"Alright, one by one, don’t rush." Ding Suqin responded politely while taking orders.

The shop instantly buzzed with activity.

Full of lively chatter.

Meanwhile, outside the shop, some customers from further away arrived, though a bit late, unwilling to give up.

They had no choice but to continue waiting in line.

After all, hope should always be kept alive; who knows if it might come true!

The vegetable stall owner, coming in with his wife, ordered their food and found a seat, smiling and greeting Huang Tao busy in the kitchen, "Boss Huang, you’re busy!"

"Take a seat, let me know what you’d like to eat, I’ll make it for you." Huang Tao chuckled.

"Already ordered, just waiting for you to serve it."

The stall owner found an empty table and sat down.

Soon, a steaming bowl of wontons was served.

He gazed at the bowl with specks of dark purple seaweed, earthy yellow pickles, white shrimp skin, with glossy, shiny wontons nestled closely together. Beneath the thin skin, the filling was visible, wafting a rich aroma of meat through the steam.

Ah~

So tempting~

He and his wife simultaneously scooped up a wonton with a small spoon, blew on it, and gently bit off half, merging the delightful taste of the filling with the smoothness of the skin.

Truly indescribable...

Both couldn’t help but show satisfied expressions.

Delicious!

Absolutely scrumptious!

They asked a neighboring stall owner to watch their stall for a bit, promising to bring them a takeaway, just so they could make the time to have breakfast at Huang Tao’s shop.

Just for this bowl of wontons, it’s worth skipping business this morning!

When the soup dumplings arrived, he eagerly stood up to receive them.

After handing one to his wife, he couldn’t wait to delicately pick another one, dip it in vinegar, let it soak, then gently bite into the skin, sipping the juice...

The luscious, fatty juice burst into his mouth, tangy with a hint of sweetness, rich but not greasy, filled with the unique fragrance of steamed buns, whetting his appetite, with filling perfectly balanced, seasoned just right, neither too salty nor bland, almost melting in the mouth, skin was tough yet tender, neither too soft nor too hard, absorbing the vinegar to enhance its deliciousness...

Such a treat!

After tasting it, he and his wife transitioned into an immersive dining experience.

Huang Tao methodically steamed the soup dumplings, cooked the wontons, and prepared the sesame dumplings.

Soon enough.

The couple from the vegetable stall finished their meal.

The two of them brought their plates to the dishwasher, and just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by Huang Tao.

"Take these marinated eggs with you to snack on!"

As soon as he finished speaking!

The owner of the vegetable stall suddenly had a small bag of marinated eggs in his hand, about seven or eight of them!

He felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Boss Huang, you are being too kind! You should keep them to sell!"

Huang Tao replied, "No, these marinated eggs aren’t worth much."

"You always take good care of me, sending the best vegetables here, and you often round down the bill for me, giving you a few marinated eggs is the least I can do."

Huang Tao always remembered those who helped him and treated him well!

Originally, Huang Tao wanted to give the vegetable stall owner a discount, but since they already paid on the self-checkout machine, he had to express his gratitude in another way.

The vegetable stall owner and his wife felt warm inside and couldn’t help but remark: Boss Huang’s character is really impeccable.

The couple thanked him, "Alright, thank you then. You’re busy, we’ll head back first..."

The other guests in the restaurant watched the couple’s departing backs with envy.

The importance of maintaining a good relationship with Huang Tao: getting to eat the delicious food for free!

But after finishing up, Huang Tao wasn’t free either, he had to take his precious daughter to school.

"Let’s go, Xuanxuan, Daddy will take you to kindergarten."

"Let’s go, let’s go see Ye!"

Xuanxuan smiled sweetly, holding onto Huang Tao’s hand, and they walked out of the restaurant together.

They got in the car and headed straight for the kindergarten.

Before long, the father and daughter arrived at the kindergarten entrance and saw Ye Wen on duty.

She looked very pretty today too.

A black knit sweater, with a simple and sophisticated round neck, decorated with cartoon patterns that made her look youthful.

She wore a pleated knee-length skirt, very teasing, and quite sexy with its light-colored style giving a youthful and pure look.

A pair of little boots as part of the outfit, elegant and warm.

Her hair was slightly curled, with beautiful eye corners and a hint of light eye shadow.

"Good morning, Huang Tao, Xuanxuan."

Seeing Huang Tao and Xuanxuan, Ye Wen smiled and greeted them.

"Good morning!"

Xuanxuan’s beautiful eyes brightened: "Ye, you’re so pretty today!"

Huang Tao was also a bit taken aback.

He had to admit, Ye Wen was really beautiful!

Her figure was also great, almost perfect!

Ye Wen elegantly squatted down and touched Xuanxuan’s little face with a happy expression and said, "Xuanxuan, you look pretty in your skirt too!"

"Hee hee, we both look good."

Xuanxuan’s eyes arched into crescents, with shallow dimples, and she turned her head to look at Huang Tao, tilting her little head up to ask: "Daddy, do you think Ye is beautiful?"

Ye Wen’s beautiful eyes also turned to Huang Tao.

She grew a bit expectant.

Huang Tao smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, beautiful."

He said beautiful~

Instantly, a ripple of joy swept through Ye Wen’s heart, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

From a young age, she had always been praised for her looks.

But even though she had been praised countless times, she had never felt this happy about it!

Because she liked him.

So even though Huang Tao’s praise was concise, it made her extremely happy!

Xuanxuan, the little clever clogs, continued to ask: "Daddy, how beautiful?"

Huang Tao: "..."

For a moment, Huang Tao felt that his precious little cotton-padded jacket had a bit of a traitorous streak~

He smiled helplessly: "As pretty as you, okay?"

"Ye, I’m entrusting Xuanxuan to you, please take her into school."

Ye Wen held Xuanxuan’s little hand and gave him a gentle smile: "Okay, leave her to me, I’ll take her in."

"See you this afternoon then."

"Okay!"

"Bye-bye daddy~"

Xuanxuan waved to Huang Tao as she walked with Ye Wen towards the kindergarten gate.

Ye Wen also looked back at Huang Tao, her pretty face blushing, her hair gently flying, especially beautiful.

For a moment.

Huang Tao was a little dazed.

However.

He quickly looked away, then drove off.
