Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 405 - 395: The Weight Loss Crematorium

Yang Luyi and Liu Zishan also discovered that the shop next door without a major entrance was connected to this Delicious Restaurant.

It’s the same restaurant!

In other words, the scale of this Delicious Restaurant is not small at all!

The interior of that shop without a major entrance was also full of customers.

With business this good, why not open more branches?

With this question in mind, the two of them walked into the restaurant.

As soon as they entered...

They followed the crowd to the automatic ordering machine, waiting in line to order and at the same time, looked around at the restaurant’s environment and decor.

They felt the interior decoration was a bit simple, but the walls were clean and new, suggesting it had been renovated recently.

The tables and chairs also looked quite clean, without the greasy feel of those in some other restaurants.

Perhaps it was because it had been renovated not long ago!

They didn’t give it much more thought.

The aroma in the air, a mix of preserved flavors and barbecue, surprisingly wasn’t unpleasant, but rather delightful!

"Sister Luyi, it smells so good..."

Liu Zishan tugged on Yang Luyi’s arm, her delicate nose sniffing involuntarily, her beautiful eyes unconsciously falling onto the dishes in front of the customers eating nearby.

There was roast chicken, oil-braised prawns, braised meat with preserved vegetables, honeyed ham, Dongpo Pork...

But they didn’t see the legendary Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce on any table!

"Huh? Why does it seem like no one ordered the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce?"

In their beautiful eyes, a trace of confusion arose, and they murmured puzzledly.

A regular customer standing behind them heard this, chuckled, and couldn’t help but say, "At this hour, you still want to order Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce?"

Hearing this, Liu Zishan looked confused: "Is it that they don’t sell Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce at this hour?"

"It’s not that they don’t sell it; it’s just sold out. Boss Huang currently only makes 150 portions of Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce per meal. If you want to eat it, you have to come early to line up. Plus, the portions for other dishes aren’t that large either, and if you come later, other dishes might be gone too, leaving only the preserved meat rice and so on. If you come even later, you can’t count on having anything at all..."

"A hundred portions of Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce? Just?"

The two girls were quite shocked, thinking the other person misunderstood the numbers. They said, "150 portions of Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce have already sold out?"

The customer behind them nodded, "Yeah, with just that amount, who’s it supposed to feed?"

Yang Luyi: "..."

Liu Zishan: "..."

This guy, do you have some misunderstanding about the amount of 150 portions?

Yang Luyi and Liu Zishan couldn’t help but think: The store opens at 5, and 150 portions of Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce sell out in less than an hour? Isn’t that too popular?

The two quickly did the math in their heads: One portion of Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce is 28 yuan. 150 portions in the evening alone equals 4200 yuan!

If you calculate it per day, including lunch and dinner, it’s 8400 yuan.

Wow~

Just one dish of Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce alone almost makes 10,000 yuan in daily revenue!

Isn’t that terrifying?

Just how delicious is this restaurant’s Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce?

While they were still amazed, the customer standing directly in front of them had already started ordering at the automatic ordering machine, mumbling to himself, "Hmm, let me see what else I can order. Let’s start with a Yellow Croaker Noodles, braised pork with preserved vegetables, oil-braised prawns, half a roast chicken, nourishing fish soup, and a three-in-one preserved meat rice."

Yang Luyi and Liu Zishan heard the customer muttering his order and thought he ordered so much because he was with friends.

Little did they expect...

He was alone.

Watching him find a seat alone, without any friends showing up around him, they thought his friends hadn’t arrived yet!

Until a while later, the three-in-one preserved meat rice, nourishing fish soup, braised meat with preserved vegetables, and half a roast chicken were served first.

The customer started devouring the three-in-one preserved meat rice.

After finishing it, he picked up the bowl of nourishing fish soup and gulped down several big mouthfuls.

As soon as he put down the soup bowl, he started digging into the half roast chicken.

He was eating with such gusto and leaving his mouth all shiny and greasy!

He didn’t forget to grab a few bites of the braised meat with preserved vegetables either, then picked up the fish soup bowl again, gulping down the nourishing fish soup once more.

When the Yellow Croaker Noodles and oil-braised prawns were brought to the table, he immediately grabbed some oil-braised prawns to eat.

After finishing, he pulled the Yellow Croaker Noodles to his table and dug in heartily.

This scene, this appetite...

Directly stunned Yang Luyi and Liu Zishan.

Do people around West City Old Street normally eat so much for dinner?

This portion size...

They might not even finish it in three meals a day!

Indeed!

This scene completely overturned their understanding of meal portion sizes!

While they were shocked, they curiously observed for a while longer and suddenly found that almost every customer who came in ordered like this.

Even the one who ordered the least got a portion of preserved meat rice and a bowl of nourishing fish soup.

Even some petite girls ordered like this.

It was their turn to order.

Liu Zishan smiled and asked, "Luyi, what should we order?"

"Let’s see what’s still available to eat!"

The two of them stood in front of the ordering machine and took a look.

Dishes like Honeyed Ham, Dongpo Pork, Braised Dried Vegetables with Meat, and Crispy Fried Tofu were all sold out and couldn’t be ordered.

What was left were just Nourishing Fish Soup, Oil-braised Prawns, and Roast Chicken and Duck that could be ordered.

The rest were mainly staple foods.

"There’s not much left. How about we order one serving of Crab Rice Cake, one Yellow Croaker Noodles, one Nourishing Fish Soup, and then add half a Roast Chicken and Oil-braised Prawns?"

Yang Luyi asked with a smile.

It’s not that she was stingy about not ordering more, but they didn’t have big appetites to begin with, and dinner was typically just eaten until they were eighty percent full.

These dishes were enough for the two of them to eat.

She was even worried that they wouldn’t be able to finish the dishes later!

Liu Zishan agreed, nodding with a smile, "Yeah, I think that’s enough. If we order more, we won’t be able to finish it."

"Alright, then let’s do that!"

Yang Luyi quickly operated on the automatic teller machine.

Ordered the food and paid the bill.

They looked around, couldn’t find an empty seat, so they obediently stood aside waiting.

It wasn’t long before they got a seat.

At this moment, they finally understood why, for a line of two to three hundred people, they only had to wait about an hour for their turn.

Apart from many customers who had takeouts, those dining in the restaurant were eating at an astonishing speed!

Moreover, the diners in the restaurant were very diligent, not only did they throw away their own trash in the bin, but they also wiped the table, collected their dishes, and placed them in the basket next to the dishwasher.

This scene nearly dropped their jawlines.

After all, they had never heard or seen such a scene.

A moment later.

Li Chengzhan brought the Yellow Croaker Noodles, Crab Rice Cake, half Roast Chicken, Oil-braised Prawns, and Nourishing Fish Soup to the table one by one, politely saying, "Your dishes are ready, please enjoy!"

"Thank you!"

Yang Luyi nodded in thanks to him, then smiled at Liu Zishan and asked, "Zishan, what are you going to eat?"

"Hmm~"

Liu Zishan glanced at the Crab Rice Cake in front of her. It was red and golden, covered in sauce on both the crab and the rice cakes, but not dry.

A layer of white mist floated up, adding a touch of beauty.

Just looking at it made one’s appetite increase.

Without hesitation, she said, "I’ll have the Crab Rice Cake! It looks delicious!"

"Alright~"

Yang Luyi nodded in agreement, and at that moment, a fragrance wafted up, and she wondered aloud, "Oh? What’s that smell?"

Looking down, it was the aroma of the Yellow Croaker Noodles.

However, this aroma was unexpectedly delightful to her.

It was somewhat similar to the Yellow Croaker Noodles she had eaten before, but also completely different.

She even forgot about tasting the other dishes, hastily picking up her chopsticks to capture a bite of Yellow Croaker Noodles.

Instantly!

The deliciousness of the Yellow Croaker Noodles completely captured her.

Liu Zishan felt the same way!

After a few minutes.

Both of them raised their heads from the now-empty bowls, intoxicated and happily saying, "Ah... this is too delicious!"

Yang Luyi licked the corner of her lips and, unsatisfied, asked, "Luyi, are you full? I feel like I could eat another bowl of Crab Rice Cake!"

"I could too, but..."

Yang Luyi looked through the floor-to-ceiling glass window at the line outside the shop, full of regret.

Regretful she hadn’t ordered more just now.

One bowl of Yellow Croaker Noodles wasn’t enough for anyone!

Liu Zishan then remembered there were other dishes on the table.

She didn’t dwell on it either and said with a smile, "There’s also Roast Chicken, Nourishing Fish Soup, and Oil-braised Prawns, let’s finish what’s on the table first!"

Both of them picked up their chopsticks again and started on the remaining dishes.

The grand plan of eating dinner only until they were eighty percent full was quietly crumbling...

Before long, they had finished off all the remaining dishes without leaving a scrap.

Originally, Yang Luyi had ordered half a Roast Chicken thinking that if they couldn’t finish it, they could take it away.

And yet!

After finishing all the dishes, they felt just right.

Although they could still eat a bit more, they were ultimately stopped by their strong willpower and decided not to queue up again.

After all, indulging is satisfying for a moment, but dieting is a journey to the crematorium!
