Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 244 - 236: Just Write a Resignation Letter
As time passed, the clock quietly pointed to seven o’clock.
This also meant that the dinner service at Delicious Restaurant came to an imperfect conclusion once again.
Those who understand, understand!
This imperfection naturally refers to the customers who couldn’t get served and had to leave disappointed!
At this moment, the last wave of diners in the restaurant also gradually dispersed as usual.
Many customers left patting their full stomachs and leaning against the wall.
And couldn’t help but grumble a few words.
"Oh my, I can’t take it anymore. I accidentally stuffed myself again... hic~"
"If I keep eating like this, I’m going to gain at least ten pounds this month..."
"Ten pounds is probably an understatement! I’ve gained 4 pounds in just one short week! Ah! It’s all Boss Huang’s fault for making my weight skyrocket in just one week, but what can I do? I can only forgive Boss Huang because his food is just too delicious."
"Exactly! Eating is eating, gaining weight is gaining weight, at worst I’ll just go home and lift weights!"
"Ugh! I just got a gym membership not long ago, and now I just want to throw a bomb and blow up Boss Huang’s restaurant!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
All the customers who had just stepped outside turned to look, their eyes shooting daggers that could metaphorically kill.
This young man was so frightened he almost wet his pants on the spot.
"Wait, I’m going to report this to Boss Huang and have him blacklist this guy from Delicious Restaurant, banning him from ever eating here again!"
"I bet this guy has violent tendencies! Should we call 110 and report him?"
"I think we should report him! Let the police handle him, otherwise leaving a potential violent person roaming free is too dangerous."
The young man turned pale with fright and quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey, I was just joking! I really was just joking, don’t take it seriously!"
Seeing that he said this, the other customers no longer pressed him hard, just warned him not to ramble about everything in the future.
Then they all dispersed.
After all the customers had left.
Huang Tao finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Thank goodness!
The time spent buying a car was made up for with concentrated effort on work, without delaying the normal evening business.
The main thing is that Xu Hao and the others completed the preliminary preparation of ingredients for him.
He just had to come back and cook.
The income today was also very impressive.
Sales already exceeded 100,000.
Even after deducting costs for raw materials, rent, utilities, wages, and taxes,
Huang Tao’s daily net profit recently still surpasses 60,000!
Monthly income close to a million is a thing of the past!
Now, with a bit more effort, he’ll soon earn two million a month!
The mall points have also risen significantly.
There are over 800,000 now.
Save a bit more and he’ll be able to draw a high-level skill.
Thinking about today’s gains, Huang Tao felt considerably less tired.
"Come, let’s eat."
He brought out the reserved dishes with Ding Suqin, smiling as he asked, "Do you still want to eat Yellow Croaker Noodles, Crab Fried Cake, Lotus Leaf Glutinous Rice Steamed Ribs, Dongpo Pork, and Honeyed Ham? If not, I’ll buy you something else."
As for what to eat, he didn’t really care.
He just worried that his parents, Xuanxuan, and the three employees might get tired of it but be too shy to say so.
So he took the initiative to ask them.
Xuanxuan placed her elbows on the table, cupping her little face with both hands, her eyes curved into crescents as she loudly replied, "I just want to eat what Daddy makes! I love Daddy’s cooking the most; no matter how much I eat, I never get tired of it! I want to eat Daddy’s cooking forever."
"Ah, my!"
Huang Tao was amused by her words: "Your little mouth is getting sweeter!"
Then he leaned over and kissed her on her little hand that was holding her cheek.
Xuanxuan giggled.
Ding Suqin and the other three smiled, then surprisingly in unison, shook their heads, and said, continuing the topic: "No need to buy anything else, we just love eating these. If you buy something else, we might not even like it!"
Sitting nearby, the parents echoed with agreement: "We don’t even need to mention it. We’ve been craving these past few days! Just hoped for Saturdays and Sundays to come so we could come and taste your cooking to satisfy our cravings!"
Craving something is an easy fix!
They could just live with him, and eat anytime they want.
Besides, he’s earning a lot now and is fully capable of supporting his parents.
They could retire back home, spend time with their granddaughter, check out nearby properties, or take up driving lessons, and by then he might even buy a car for his dad to help with picking up and dropping off Xuanxuan to school.
Huang Tao thought for a moment: "Dad, Mom, why don’t you write a resignation letter and retire?"
Huang Yide and his wife were taken aback: "Why write that?"
Huang Tao chuckled: "Resign and enjoy life at home!"
"Well..."
Huang Yide and his wife hesitated for a moment.
While their son’s restaurant business was doing well and the profits were good, it was still just the beginning!
If they resigned now, it would add pressure on their son!
They didn’t want their son to feel too pressured or become a burden to him.
Besides, they would retire within a few years anyway.
Receiving a pension and enjoying old age in comfort, isn’t it enticing?
By then, if nothing goes wrong, their son’s business should have expanded, and he’d likely be busier, and they could come over to help out, even if not in business, they could assist with hospitality by helping with Xuanxuan’s school commute and homework.
Song Cailian politely declined: "Let’s not resign just yet. I’m not unable to work, and there’s no need for you to support me. In a couple more years, I’ll be retiring, if you can manage your own affairs and Xuanxuan and keep the shop running well, then I’ll be at ease."
Seeing Mom disagree, he turned to Dad and asked with a smile, "Dad, what about you?"
"Why would I resign!" Huang Yide shook his head: "I’m still quite young, not at the point of being unable to work! You just focus on running your restaurant, don’t worry about these things."
Huang Tao felt a bit helpless.
His parents both have quite the stubborn streak.
Well, if they don’t want to resign, they won’t. Let them be!
Huang Tao shared his recent plans with his parents: "Don’t worry, I’ll run the restaurant well. I’ve been planning to expand the restaurant these days!"
Expanding the restaurant so quickly!
Huang Yide and his wife were surprised but also felt it made sense.
Now there were even more customers queuing to order than when they came last week!
And the small size of the shop and understaffed kitchen also led to many customers not being served.
So expanding and hiring is indeed an issue to be resolved at present.
Huang Yide inquired with concern: "Son, have you found a storefront then?"
He replied with a helpless smile: "Not yet! I originally planned to rent the one next door, but they don’t want to rent it out, so I’ll have to think of something else. I’ve been keeping an eye on rental listings online, but haven’t found the ideal one yet, mostly because I still want to find one in West City Old Street."
Huang Yide reassured him: "Take it slow, this is not something that can be rushed."
"Yeah, don’t rush, you’ll definitely find a suitable one," Song Cailian also reassured.
"Mm, I know. Everything will happen naturally!"
Huang Tao smiled slightly and said, "Let’s not talk about this now, let’s eat first!"
In the end, everything will sort itself out when the time comes!
