Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 373 - 363: Obediently Lining Up in the Rain
6:40 AM.
The rain outside had lessened a lot, but it was still drizzling down.
The customers at the shop entrance had already formed a long line, eager with anticipation.
"Boss Huang, please open up soon, this ghostly weather is so cold!"
"Yes! The wind’s blowing and it’s raining, it’s freezing cold!"
"With this weather, you should eat more, right? I’ll have a bowl of sesame dumplings, one serving of sesame dumplings, 10 beef-stuffed pan-fried buns, 10 shrimp and pork-stuffed pan-fried buns, and a bowl of century egg and lean pork congee, to comfort this body of mine that’s been beaten down by the cold wind and winter rain."
Just at this moment.
The roar of an engine suddenly echoed at the corner of West City Old Street.
Those going to work, those lining up, and the store owners opening early on both sides, hearing this sound, could already guess with their toes.
The rich folks driving luxury cars, they must be here for Boss Huang’s breakfast!
So!
They all had a familiar, unbothered attitude, continuing with whatever they were doing.
Not moved at all!
But all of this was disrupted with the appearance of a black Rolls-Royce Phantom in the executive edition.
"Whoa, is that a Rolls-Royce? This car is so long... looks so imposing... how much would it cost?"
"That’s the Rolls-Royce Phantom executive edition; it must be at least 20 million now!"
"Hiss~ this price makes one’s jaw drop..."
In just a few minutes, three luxury cars appeared on this street.
Then, under the envious eyes of the crowd, all three luxury cars parked neatly in the roadside parking spaces.
A chauffeur dressed in a suit and tie came out of the driver’s seat with several umbrellas, opened one quickly running around the car’s front, opened the right rear door, and respectfully placed his hand above the door while the umbrella covered it: "Chairman Li, we have arrived, please get out of the car."
"Hmm~"
Li Fuyuan responded lightly and said to his parents inside the car: "Mom, Dad, maybe you both should wait inside the car first, and when it’s my turn, you can come out?"
Both Li Xinzhong and his wife shook their heads unanimously: "No need, I’ll go with you! It’s stuffy in the car, and the air is fresher outside."
"Alright then!"
Li Yuanfu thought for a moment and agreed, reminding them: "It’s slippery because of the rain, both of you be careful."
"Don’t worry! We’re aware."
Qin Yumin and Li Xinzhong followed out of the car.
Li Meiling, Jiang Zhouming, and their son Jiang Qihang, who had gotten out of the car first, also followed them out.
Looking at the queue at the door, which resembled a giant dragon.
Despite being prepared, they couldn’t help showing a trace of astonishment.
Li Meiling exclaimed: "So many people? How long will this take?"
Jiang Zhouming teased: "Isn’t it because of you, taking forever to get ready, making everyone wait for half an hour? Otherwise, everyone would have already eaten by now."
Li Meiling: "..."
Yes!
What he said made so much sense that she couldn’t refute it!
She actually regretted it in her heart, regretting why she didn’t leave earlier.
But her competitive nature wouldn’t let her lose, so she retorted: "I dressed up nicely not just to save your face..."
"Alright, stop talking, if we keep this up, we’re going to lose our spot." Li Yuanfu stepped in to interrupt.
Seeing some people rushing towards the queue, Li Meiling and Jiang Zhouming panicked.
They stopped arguing.
Li Meiling held an umbrella in one hand, supporting her mother with the other as they headed to the queue.
"I’ll start a livestream."
Jiang Qihang took out his phone and opened Douyin.
Within a minute of starting the livestream, a lot of fans poured in.
More than a thousand people!
After his livestream content unexpectedly hit the trending search last night, his account gained a lot of followers.
In less than a single night, he directly surpassed 500,000 followers.
It was an unexpected pleasant surprise for him!
But for him, playing with livestreams is purely for sharing.
The number of followers really doesn’t matter to him at all.
The audience and fans in the livestream room were instantly excited because of his sudden broadcast.
Barrage of comments came flying in:
"Wow, I thought I was seeing things! So freaking early in the morning, Hang is livestreaming?"
"It’s not even seven yet! You scared me; I thought the livestream app had a bug!"
"When I saw Hang’s livestream, I had the black question mark face because in my mind, Hang has never streamed so early! This is like the sun rising from the west..."
"Exactly, exactly. At this time, Hang should be in bed, not here... By the way, is Tao up to something big starting a livestream this early?"
"Hey? Where is this place? Why does this street seem so familiar?"
"Goodness, isn’t this West City Old Street? Boss Huang’s shop is nearby!"
"Case solved, Hang must be here especially for Boss Huang’s breakfast!"
"Wow, Hang is really a hard-core guy! I’m still under my covers, and he’s speedily queued up!"
"Hey, Hang, are you trying to transition to a food streamer?"
"Wow... how delicious must this place be... to make a rich second-generation kid crawl out of his warm bed so early in the morning..."
Jiang Qihang glanced at the comments with a broad smile: "There’s no need for me to exaggerate how good Boss Huang’s culinary skills are. After all, like what I said last night, if you don’t come eat at least once in a lifetime, you’ll definitely regret it, it’s a lifelong regret, and it makes your life incomplete."
"Moreover, I’m announcing that from today, I am Boss Huang’s number one fan."
Hearing this, the elders beside him gave him a slightly surprised look.
Indeed, it was surprising!
Since he was a child, Jiang Qihang had never idolized anyone.
Now, just because of a meal, he became Boss Huang’s fan?
Seriously, you’re being a fan too casually, aren’t you?
But on second thought, Jiang Qihang only became Boss Huang’s fan because he was impressed by Boss Huang’s culinary skills!
Thinking about last night’s feast, if they were a few decades younger, they might also idolize Boss Huang like Jiang Qihang did.
They chuckled, heading towards the queue.
Wow!
In just a short while, the queue extended up to the street curb.
They regretted it a bit.
They should have known better than to wait for Jiang Qihang.
They didn’t say anything, quickly walked over, and got in line at the end.
Jiang Qihang saw this and hurriedly joined them, queued up earnestly.
Seeing him queuing, the audience and fans in the livestream room got excited once again:
"Wow~ Hang is actually willing to queue?"
"In the past, anything that required queuing, Hang would have turned around and left without a second thought. But now, he’s actually in line."
"I have a hunch this place is definitely going to go viral!"
"Wake up! This place has been popular for a long time; it even hit the top of the trending search last night!"
Jiang Qihang glanced at the comments, just smiled, and continued to line up obediently.
And his dad, Jiang Zhouming, whispered: "Brother-in-law, isn’t that Jiang Mingtao’s wife and his father in front of us?"
"Yeah, it’s indeed Jiang Mingtao’s wife Chen Hongxia and his father Jiang Shouyi."
Li Yuanfu peered over, confirmed, and nodded knowingly: "It seems their family too has been impressed by Boss Huang’s skills!"
From now on!
That old boy Jiang Mingtao wouldn’t tease him for buying meals at a small diner anymore.
After all, they are all Boss Huang’s customers; nobody can tease the other.
"Who would have thought that Boss Huang’s small shop would conquer one of the top food industry tycoons in Jiang City, skipping their own five-star hotel meals to come here for breakfast." Jiang Zhouming couldn’t help but marvel.
Li Meiling laughed and said: "Why’s that surprising? You two are top business moguls in Jiang City and you are still in line in the rain here!"
Li Yuanfu: "..."
Jiang Zhouming: "..."
It’s all because Boss Huang’s food is delicious!
If it were any other shop!
Even if they were invited, they might not even go!
