Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 399 - 389: Riding Delicious Restaurant’s Popularity!
"Delicious!"
"Boss Huang is incredible! Everything he makes is so good!"
"So fragrant! This is the best Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce I’ve ever had. It’s even better than the one I had at a famous old shop when I visited Shanghai a few years ago!"
"Yeah, that old shop’s Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce can’t compare to Boss Huang’s."
"I have to say, Boss Huang’s skills are truly divine..."
For a moment, the restaurant was filled with a continuous wave of compliments.
Clearly!
The regular customers dining in the restaurant were very satisfied after tasting the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce!
Of course, they admired Huang Tao’s skills even more.
The marination was spot on!
The garlic sauce was perfectly balanced too!
The taste was simply amazing!
Then, the restaurant gradually quieted down as everyone focused on their meals.
Seeing how much they were enjoying it, the customers who couldn’t get the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce were envious and couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t get any!
They could only comfort themselves silently: Without the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, at least there are still dishes like crispy fried rings to enjoy!
Jiang Han and Cai Bo, who were fortunate enough to get a portion of the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, were relieved they placed their orders online early, as usual, and had someone wait in line for them, resulting in this delightful surprise.
Lucky to have gotten such a rare new item.
Although the fee for having someone wait in line was a bit steep, it’s all worth it for good food.
Before the dish was served...
He took out his phone first.
This was not to start a live broadcast. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
It was simply to record a video of the meal.
After all, being one of the first customers to have the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, it had to be commemorated, right?!
And make all those fans on Weibo envious and jealous!
He opened the phone camera, fixed it on a tripod, and shot downward from above.
He even shook his hand deliberately to ensure that all his actions would be captured in the video.
When the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce was served...
The glossy look and the aroma of the garlic sauce immediately hit their taste buds.
"Cai Bo, let’s eat..."
He smiled and called out, picking up a piece of mushroom with his chopsticks, intending to put it in his mouth. But midway, as if he remembered something, he let the phone camera taste it first before eating it himself.
Many fans who were far away had unknowingly developed a habit.
At mealtimes, they would browse Delicious Restaurant’s official Weibo account to enjoy food pictures with their meals.
They would also search for "Delicious Restaurant" to see real-time posts, watching various gourmets rave about how good everything was on Weibo, and check out the food photos shared by different diners.
For them, it was not only a kind of fun but also a way to alleviate the regret of missing out.
After all, seeing is equivalent to eating!
Ah, nothing can be done!
Who asked them to be so far away that they can’t come here every day!
They can only check Weibo while eating to satisfy their cravings~
As it was mealtime, many people suddenly saw the latest Weibo pop up and got extremely excited.
Han: [This noon I had the super delicious new dish from Delicious Restaurant... Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, I could eat three bowls of rice with it without a problem! Fortunately, I asked someone to wait in line this morning, just hoping for a filling lunch. Later, I found out from Delicious Restaurant’s official Weibo that the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce would be launched at noon, and when I came to the store, there it was on the auto-order machine for just 28 yuan per serving~
First, let’s talk about the taste test. As expected of a dish from Delicious Restaurant, it always amazes you. You can order it with your eyes closed! Even though this dish doesn’t even involve eel in its making, the "shredded eel" shape is misleading, and the taste is incredible. Even though it’s a vegetarian dish, it has a meat-like texture, similar to fried eel, very fresh and fragrant. The garlic sauce is also perfectly balanced, sweet and tangy, thick, and the mushroom strips aren’t just flavorful; they also go well with rice.
With images as proof, sharing a video of Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce from Delicious Restaurant.]
People who saw it just by seeing the words "Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce," had their DNA jumping with excitement.
They didn’t even have time to think!
Just clicked into the video and followed the chopsticks of the blogger.
Upon seeing the white plate full of layer upon layer of black and gold "eel shreds," they couldn’t help but swallow.
Especially when the blogger picked up a richly colored "eel shred" and brought it close to the camera lens, gently shaking it.
In the clear video, you could see the mushroom strips’ texture, coated in rich sauce, as if it was going to pass through the screen and drift into their noses.
Was it really a piece of Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce shaking?
No!
It was shaking the hearts of these distant fans!
Of course!
And shaking the hearts of many others in line who couldn’t get it!
Instantly...
They all unconsciously, simultaneously exited the video.
And then entered the comment section to complain to the blogger:
Can’t live like a queen without you: This is too much, posting such tempting food at dinner time, blogger, are you even human? Ahhhh... the sushi in my hand suddenly doesn’t smell good, it’s like chewing wax, I can’t eat it, downvote!
Looking up and smiling, like a sunflower: Ugh, we all spend tens to hundreds of bucks every day, why can’t I eat the freshly served Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce first?!
Slap your hypocritical heart: Blogger, can you share some tips? How exactly did you get the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce? Do you have some connection with Delicious Restaurant? Otherwise, how do you always get these new dishes first?!
Desire tempts the heart*: Please, blogger, teach us how to get the new dishes first-hand, please teach us, manually copied ten thousand times.
At that moment, Jiang Han watched his Weibo, refreshed with likes and heartfelt comments from netizens, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
He couldn’t resist the temptation to share the original unedited video and review on his Weibo after tasting a bite of Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce.
He didn’t expect so many likes and comments so quickly.
Of course, he knew.
All of this was thanks to Delicious Restaurant!
Delicious Restaurant really blessed him!
Seeing everyone begging him to share the secret to getting the new dishes, he smiled but remained unmoved, not wanting to share his tricks.
If everyone imitated him and had someone wait in line, wouldn’t he be creating a bunch of competitors for himself...
So, sharing the secret was impossible in this lifetime, never gonna happen.
He quietly put away his phone and continued enjoying the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce.
Not far away, at Ma Yong’s table, the three of them looked up with happy faces from their empty bowls, saying, "It’s so good."
Lin Hongyi laughed and said, "Yong, are you full? I feel like I could eat more."
"Me too, but..."
Ma Yong looked through the glass window at the queue outside, regretting not ordering more.
Despite the regret and still being able to eat more, they didn’t plan to queue again.
Not only was the line long, but eating too much isn’t good for the stomach either.
Most importantly, you couldn’t get more Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce even if you queued again.
And other dishes were probably all gone too!
The three didn’t linger and immediately got up to make room for the next customers.
Just as they stepped outside!
Liu Qianqian’s phone in her handbag suddenly rang: "Ten thousand reluctances, can’t go back to the past, never regretted loving you, but it should end now, ten thousand reluctances, I will always love you, felt it was worth it to love you, but can’t love you anymore..."
