Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 240 - 232: Stomach Full, Mouth Unsatisfied
Time always slips away quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it’s Saturday.
The weather was exceptionally sunny, with blue skies and white clouds drifting by, and the warm sunlight bathed the whole of West City Old Street.
Delicious Restaurant remained crowded with customers.
By 8 o’clock, all the breakfast was sold out.
At least two-thirds of the customers couldn’t buy any.
Craving and slightly uncomfortable, they had no choice!
They could only leave forlornly to other food shops in search of breakfast.
As the queued-up customers scattered, the entrance of So Delicious gradually quieted down.
At this moment.
Huang Yide and Song Cailian arrived at the door of Delicious Restaurant, carrying bags and looking a bit travel-worn.
Walking in front, Huang Yide, with hands full, used his body to push open the door, letting Song Cailian in first.
As they entered, neighborhood diners warmly greeted them and offered to help carry their things.
"Oh, Mrs. Huang, Mr. Huang, you’re here? Visiting your son and granddaughter?"
"Old Huang, I’m so envious you have such a son! You can always eat the food he cooks anytime, anywhere."
"To be honest, I dream of having a son as skilled as Boss Huang in cooking! Alas, it remains just a dream."
"If my son were half as good as yours, I’d be laughing in my sleep. Sadly, I’m not that lucky!"
Eyes filled with envy, the neighbors chatted comfortably with Huang Yide and Song Cailian.
"Grandma~"
"Grandpa~"
Xuanxuan jumped down from the table near the kitchen, calling out sweetly as she ran over.
"Oh, my lovely granddaughter."
Song Cailian quickly bent to pick up the little girl.
Originally, she wanted to ask her lovely granddaughter if she missed them these days.
But recalling previous disappointments, she swallowed the words back.
To avoid additional heartache.
Huang Yide had the same thought.
The couple tacitly avoided mentioning it.
"Dad, Mom, you’re here."
In the kitchen, Huang Tao instructed Xu Hao to add rock sugar to the ham, pour in clear chicken broth over it, and put it in the steamer for a second steaming. Seeing his parents, he smiled and asked, "You haven’t had breakfast, right? I saved some pan-fried buns and preserved egg congee for you."
Then he brought over the shrimp and pork stuffed pan-fried buns, along with two bowls of preserved egg congee he had set aside for them.
Placing them on the table where they stood.
The couple wanted to mention they had leftovers from last night’s rice, which they didn’t want to waste, so they made fried rice for breakfast before coming over. But the enticing aroma from the dishes wafted to their noses, making them salivate, and suddenly their stomachs, which had just been filled, seemed hungry again.
Picking up chopsticks from the container, he picked up a pan-fried bun and said, "Since it’s here, it’d be wasteful not to eat it, so let’s have some!"
"Indeed, it’s wasteful not to eat. I’ll just have a little too!" Song Cailian put Xuanxuan in a nearby dining chair, grabbed chopsticks, and went for the buns.
Huang Yide took a bite, smacked his lips, and his eyes lit up: "Oh, these are shrimp and pork pan-fried buns!"
Huang Tao nodded with a smile, "Yes, they’re a new product we just launched."
"Grandpa, are they delicious?"
Xuanxuan leaned forward, placing her elbows on the table, resting her chin in her hands, looking at Huang Yide with eager eyes.
She loved hearing people praise her dad’s cooking!
Huang Yide finished the bun in a few bites, nodding as he chewed, "Delicious, really tasty!"
Song Cailian nodded as well, "Very fragrant and sweet, not just the shrimp, but the whole bun has a light sweet shrimp flavor. It’s delicious beyond words."
The couple quickly picked up another, devouring it in a few bites.
Watching them, other customers in the restaurant couldn’t help but show jealousy.
Being able to eat anytime without queuing or paying, who wouldn’t envy that!
Seeing his parents eating ravenously, as if they hadn’t had a full meal in ages, Huang Tao couldn’t help but say, "Mom, Dad, slow down..."
"Burp~"
Now feeling full, both Huang Yide and Song Cailian started burping.
Even with full stomachs, they still wanted more.
They couldn’t help but reach out for more.
Realizing they must’ve eaten breakfast before coming, Huang Tao stopped them, "Dad, Mom, stop eating, or you’ll end up in the hospital."
In the end, Huang Yide had seven pan-fried buns, and Song Cailian had five, both drinking half a bowl of preserved egg congee.
After eating and drinking their fill, the couple relaxed in their chairs, rubbing their full bellies and taking a short nap to alleviate the fullness.
Xuanxuan propped her chin with one hand, blinking inquiringly and smiling, "Grandma, want me to give you a massage? It’ll make you feel better."
Her words filled Song Cailian with delight, making her smile like a blooming chrysanthemum.
She nodded, "Sure, you can give grandma a massage."
Seeing her grandma’s agreement, Xuanxuan quickly slipped off the chair, walked over to Song Cailian, and gently circled her hand over Song Cailian’s belly through her clothes.
With her eyes curved, she asked, "Grandma, is this okay?"
"Yes, it feels very comfortable!"
With eyes closed in enjoyment, Song Cailian praised, "My Xuanxuan is amazing, already helping grandma with a full stomach. Tell me, who taught you this?"
"Grandma, I learned it from Daddy."
Xuanxuan proudly said, "When my tummy was too full, Daddy would massage it like this, and then it wouldn’t hurt."
With loving eyes, Song Cailian touched her granddaughter’s little head, "My Xuanxuan is really smart, learns quickly!"
"Hee hee~"
Xuanxuan’s eyes turned into little crescents.
Seeing this, even Huang Yide couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy.
After all, as a grandpa, how come he didn’t get this treatment?
Just a little pang of the heart!
Of course, he wasn’t going to compete with his wife for attention.
As Xuanxuan continued to massage, she mumbled, "Grandma, your tummy needs to be hungry soon, so at lunchtime, you can eat Daddy’s honeyed ham and yellow croaker noodles~!"
At the mere mention of these dishes, the couple couldn’t help but salivate.
This is a classic case of ’full stomach, thirsty mouth’!
