Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 241 - 233: A World of Ice and Fire

"Boss Huang, I’m here..."

Lin Jingsong poked his head out of the taxi window and shouted towards the entrance of So Delicious: "Can you leave now?"

"Meow~"

Before Huang Tao could come out of the store, Mimi’s head poked out of the entrance first, squinting its cat eyes and meowing at Lin Jingsong, as if asking: Who’s calling my human companion?

Lin Jingsong smiled and blew a kiss towards the increasingly chubby and adorable yellow cat.

Mimi was so surprised that its eyes nearly popped out, and it quickly shrank back, darted back to its cat bed, curled up, ready to sleep off the shock.

"Daddy, what’s wrong with Mimi?"

Xuanxuan saw Mimi hastily run to its cat bed and curl up shivering, and a big question mark appeared in her little head as she looked at it with surprise.

"Maybe it’s too cold outside, and it got chilled..."

Huang Tao replied nonchalantly, calling back to the door: "Jingsong, we’ll be right there."

Saying this, he helped Xuanxuan put on a thick down jacket and a knitted wool hat, ensuring she was warm enough before letting her go out.

He then glanced towards the kitchen and said, "We’re heading out; Haozi, keep an eye on the Honeyed Ham—"

"Got it, don’t worry, boss, I’ll stay sharp."

Xu Hao signaled an OK sign through the kitchen glass to Huang Tao.

Ding Suqin and Zifeng also smiled and said in unison: "Boss, you can go without worry!"

Xuanxuan waved her little hand at them: "Bye Suqin, Haozi, Zifeng~"

Ding Suqin and the others smiled back, waving: "Bye, be careful on the road, see you later."

"Dad, Mom, let’s go!"

Huang Tao picked up Xuanxuan and left the store with his parents.

The biting cold wind howled past the store entrance, making Huang Yide, who had just stepped out, involuntarily shrink his neck and mumble, "How can it still be so cold with the sun out?"

Indeed, it was cold. Song Cailian, who followed behind him, could clearly feel the cold wind gusting against her face, making her shiver involuntarily.

Just now, in the air-conditioned room, it didn’t feel cold, but stepping outside was truly a stark contrast between ice and fire!

It really made one feel the power of winter.

Song Cailian said, "It’ll probably frost over tonight!"

Xuanxuan’s large, fluttering eyes showed a hint of confusion as she humbly asked, "Grandma, what is frost?"

"Frost forms when water vapor undergoes sublimation at temperatures around zero degrees. Simply put, if the air is cold and plants lose heat slowly, water vapor freezes on plant surfaces, forming frost."

Song Cailian thought for a moment and continued, "Xuanxuan, didn’t you see a layer of ice over the outdoor water vat at Grandma’s house last year? That’s frost ice. You even played with it! Do you remember?"

"I remember!"

Remembering this, Xuanxuan nodded vigorously, then expectantly asked, "Grandma, will it snow?"

Oh~

The little one is hoping for snow!

But unfortunately, in Wenling, it rarely snows!

Song Cailian helplessly said, "That’s hard to say! It might not snow!"

"Oh~"

Xuanxuan nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes showing a touch of disappointment.

Huang Tao reached over and patted her little head through the hat: "Baby, when we get a car, Daddy will drive you to see snow, ok?"

No snow in Wenling is not a problem; when the next city has snow, he can take Xuanxuan to see snow and build snowmen!

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope returned to the eyes of disappointed Xuanxuan: "Really?"

Huang Tao nodded solemnly: "Of course it’s true; when has Daddy ever lied to you?"

"Yay yay~"

Xuanxuan clapped her hands happily.

"You!"

Huang Tao gently tapped her cute nose and said, "Let’s get in the car first, so Jingsong doesn’t have to wait too long."

"Let’s go, let’s buy a car~"

Xuanxuan giggled as she was placed in the back seat of Lin Jingsong’s taxi by Huang Tao, who then fastened her seatbelt.

Xuanxuan politely greeted Lin Jingsong in the driver’s seat: "Hi, Uncle Jingsong~"

"Hey, hello!"

Lin Jingsong smiled and nodded. Once Huang Tao’s family was seated and buckled up, he started driving.

Lin Jingsong truly lived up to being an experienced driver, driving steadily all the way to the entrance of the BYD 4S store.

"We’ve arrived..."

Everyone got out of the car, and Huang Tao closed the door, thanking Lin Jingsong with a smile: "Thanks, Jingsong, drop by the store for a meal sometime."

"Okay, I will when I have time; I’ll be off then."

After seeing Lin Jingsong drive away, Huang Tao held Xuanxuan’s little hand and led his parents into the BYD sales hall.

The BYD sales hall was quite large, divided into several big sections according to car models.

Xuanxuan looked around curiously.

She had never been to a 4S store before!

Everything around felt very new to Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan blinked her beautiful eyes, feeling a bit dazzled, her small mouth slightly open: "Daddy, all the cars here are so pretty!"

Huang Tao asked: "They are indeed quite pretty. How about when you grow up, Daddy buys you one?"

She tilted her head, puzzled: "When I grow up? Is that a long time?"

She’s only four years old now!

How many years old was ’grown up’ again?

Was it six or seven, or eight, nine, ten...

Oh dear~

My ten little fingers aren’t enough to count~

"It won’t be too long!"

Huang Tao laughed, reaching out to pat her little head under the hat, gently saying, "Let me first show you the car we’re buying today."

Xuanxuan obediently nodded: "Mhm mhm~"

At this moment, a good-looking young salesperson approached, flashed a charming smile, and nodded slightly to Huang Tao, saying, "Are you Mr. Huang Tao?"

"Yes, that’s me,"

Huang Tao nodded and roughly guessed the person’s identity, smiling as he asked, "You’re Manager Xue, right?"

"Yes, come, have some water first, and I’ll take you to see the car in a moment."

Saying this, she took four bottles of mineral water from a table in the nearby rest area and handed them to Huang Tao and his group, also grabbing a handful of candy for Xuanxuan: "Little one, here, have some candy."

"Daddy~"

Xuanxuan glanced up at her dad, saw him nod in approval, and then reached out to take it, politely thanking her, "Thank you, auntie."

"You’re welcome!"

Manager Xue smiled warmly, speaking with a face full of envy, "Mr. Huang, your daughter is really beautiful and very well-mannered, I’m so envious of you!"

Unlike her son, who is naughty all day, making her wish she could stuff him back into her belly.

As they spoke, everyone arrived at the showroom.

Huang Tao also saw the real car he wanted to buy.

It was pretty much as he imagined.

Looked quite good.

The space was also quite large.

In short, it matched his expectations well.

A car around two hundred thousand, it looked quite upscale in terms of texture, not appearing cheap.

"So how about we take a spin?"

Manager Xue asked with a smile, "Do you have a driver’s license?"

Huang Tao nodded: "Yes! Let’s take it for a spin!"

Manager Xue led their family to the place where the test drive cars were parked outside, Huang Tao got into the driver’s seat, and Manager Xue sat beside him.

Xuanxuan sat in the back seat with her grandparents.

Manager Xue flashed a charming smile: "Let’s drive around this area, I’ll guide you."

This test drive car must be driven in the designated area.

Understanding, Huang Tao nodded: "Alright, then I’ll drive forward first."

Saying this, he adjusted the height of the seat and steering wheel, feeling it suited him, fastened his seat belt, and glanced at the back seat.

Confirmed that everyone had fastened their seat belts.

Only then did he start the car, gently pressed the gas pedal, and began to drive, following the route indicated by Manager Xue.

This car is really nice.

It doesn’t have that noise the engine makes when it’s working.

The color of the seats also matches his aesthetic.

The functions are quite complete.

The air conditioner is also very warm.

After a round of test driving, Huang Tao was overall quite satisfied.

An essential good car for commuting and grocery shopping!

Huang Tao looked at his family to seek their opinion: "Dad, mom, Xuanxuan, what do you think?"

"Your mom and I don’t understand cars, you can make the decision yourself." Huang Yide handed the reins back to Huang Tao.

Xuanxuan’s eyes curved with a smile: "Daddy, I don’t understand either, but if daddy likes it, I like it too~"

Alright! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

He’d decide it himself!

Huang Tao directly made the decision: "Let’s go with this one. Is there a car ready now?"

Manager Xue nodded: "There is, but currently, there’s only a white one that just arrived yesterday."

He smiled and asked, "Can you show me?"

"Sure."

Manager Xue took their family to the place where the car was stored.

Huang Tao checked the condition of the vehicle.

Feeling OK, he smiled and asked, "Are there any promotional offers if I purchase now?"

Manager Xue smiled warmly and responded truthfully: "Currently, there are no promotional offers, but our electric system offers a lifetime warranty to the first owner, and we provide six free maintenance services and a full set of film applications."

Nearby, although Xuanxuan didn’t quite understand what Manager Xue was saying, she knew that buying a car came with gifts, so she asked the question she most wanted to ask, "Auntie, do you give toys with the car purchase?"

With that said, everyone was amused by her.

Manager Xue apologized with a face full of regret: "I’m sorry, buying a car doesn’t come with toys!"

Seeing a little disappointment in Xuanxuan’s sparkling eyes, she couldn’t bear it, so she thought for a moment, her eyes brightened as if she had an idea.

She quickly changed her tone: "Auntie can give you a plush little bunny."

Saying this, she turned around and found a plush little bunny left from a previous event from a large box beside her and gave it to Xuanxuan.

"Thank you, auntie!"

She received it happily, politely thanked her, then held up the plush little bunny and gave Huang Tao a sweet smile, "Daddy, there really is a toy with the car purchase!"

Huang Tao nodded with a smile, looked at Manager Xue, and continued the previous conversation: "Manager Xue, I brought all my documents with me and will pay in full. Can I do the inspection and lottery registration now?"

Manager Xue nodded: "Yes, you can!"

After a flurry of activity.

Huang Tao paid the money, got the insurance, inspected the car, confirmed the license plate number, and the vehicle management office issued a temporary license plate.

He could drive the car back directly.

Successfully closing a deal, Manager Xue was naturally very happy too, she smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, if you have any questions in the future, you can always contact me."

"Alright!"

Huang Tao smiled slightly, drove the car, and left with his parents and Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan sat in the back seat, watching her dad drive, enjoying the air conditioning, feeling very comfortable.

She really liked this car.

Because dad likes it!
