Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 419 - 409: Did I Go to the Wrong Place?

"Burp~"

Yang Luyi ate a combo braised meat rice, a small bowl of crab stir-fried cake and Yellow Croaker Noodles, a small portion of Dongpo Pork, Honeyed Ham, a few chopsticks of braised dried vegetables with meat, both meat and vegetarian Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, roast chicken, roast duck, and so on.

Unconsciously...

She accidentally stuffed herself.

She leaned back gracefully against the back of the dining chair, a slight look of regret on her pretty face: "I feel like I haven’t eaten enough yet! But I’m already full."

"So delicious, Boss Huang, your skills are really... unrivaled! How can everything be so tasty?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Liu Zishan also slumped in the chair, struggling to sit a bit more upright, while rubbing her slightly protruding belly, she marveled: "Yes, yes, every dish’s taste is absolutely amazing, simply perfect. It’s a pity I only have one stomach..."

Liu Zishan’s expression of "belly full but eyes not satisfied" amused everyone present.

Qin gently shook his folding fan and said leisurely: "I’ve felt this way for a long time, you two are just starting your journey!"

"You two haven’t even tried Boss Huang’s West Lake Vinegar Fish yet! It’s also really delicious; you must come back and try it when you can."

Since they were giving an impromptu interview and today wasn’t a day West Lake Vinegar Fish was being sold, Huang Tao hadn’t prepared it for them this time.

As a result, Yang Luyi and Liu Zishan didn’t have the chance to taste it.

After hearing Qin say this, the two of them were craving it again and quickly said, "Qin, please stop, we can’t eat anymore, the more you talk about it, the more we suffer!"

Hearing this, Qin didn’t say much more and slumped in the nearby dining chair to slowly digest.

"Everyone, chat among yourselves. We have other things to deal with, so we’ll get going first."

Xu Hao and the other two assistant chefs, once fully satisfied, left first.

They returned to the kitchen to get busy.

To make final preparations for the lunchtime service!

Ding Suqin and his group, having nothing else to do at the moment, stayed to keep them company for a while longer, waiting to clean up the bowls and chopsticks later.

After a moment.

Liu Zishan and others were almost rested enough.

They planned to head back to work first!

So that they could continue to enjoy Huang Tao’s food in the future!

The two of them must give it their all to write up the articles about the delicious food at Delicious Restaurant!

As for their plan to spend the whole day there eating, of course, it still counted.

After going back, finishing work earlier, and then working a bit harder at night, they’d line up to continue eating.

Yang Luyi smiled at Huang Tao: "Boss Huang, thank you for your gracious hospitality. It’s getting late, so we’ll head back first and won’t disturb your business any longer."

"Alright, take care."

Huang Tao had no intention of urging them to stay longer.

After all, the purpose had been fulfilled, and he had shown all due courtesy.

Besides, it was almost mealtime and he had to get busy, so he couldn’t keep them company any longer.

When sending Yang Luyi and her friends to the shop entrance, they and Qin all took out their phones simultaneously, preparing to pay.

"No, this meal is on me, how could I let you pay? Moreover, my employees and I ate together, so how would we settle the bill? Just put your phones away..."

Huang Tao insisted, so Yang Luyi, her friends, and Qin didn’t end up paying, and they all gradually left the restaurant.

As Qin stepped out, feeling the envious and begrudging looks of the neighbors, he had a smile on his old face, waved at them and said, "I’m leaving now, you all continue to line up."

Those neighbors, feeling quite sour, couldn’t help but make a few remarks.

"You old Qin, aren’t you afraid of grinning too much!"

"Old Qin, be careful not to laugh your own teeth out."

"You old boy, getting to eat early again."

"Dang it, I’m so envious I’m gonna die."

Qin didn’t mind at all, still cheerfully saying, "By the way, Boss Huang is offering a new version of Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce with meat this afternoon, I’ve already tried it for you, the texture is tender and the taste is savory, exceptionally delicious."

Listening to Qin’s description of the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce with meat, the cravings of the neighbors and other people in line were stirred up.

Thinking about the deliciousness of the vegetarian Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, they were particularly looking forward to the version with meat that Huang Tao prepared!

"I’m heading home now, you continue~"

After saying this, Qin gently waved his folding fan while humming and happily went home for a nap.

Li watched Qin’s departing figure with envy and jealousy: "Oh, is Boss Huang planning to let this old guy Qin try all the new dishes first in the future?"

Mr. Cheng said with a helpless look: "Ah, Boss Huang is just too kind-hearted, letting that old rascal Qin show off!"

Lao Liu had an expression of "if you’re heartless, don’t blame me for being ruthless," and resolutely said, "Tonight, we’ll flick his forehead."

The other old men nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Okay!"

...

"It’s like there’s still time for everything, yet helpless at the same time, tears overwhelming me..."

Liu Zishan and Yang Luyi were just about to get in the car when Yang Luyi’s phone suddenly rang.

"Zishan, you drive, I’ll take this call."

As Yang Luyi took out her phone from her bag, she switched places with Liu Zishan.

Seeing that it was Liu Qianqian calling, she immediately answered with a smile, "Hello, Qianqian."

On the other end, Liu Qianqian’s voice came through, "Luyi, did you go to the restaurant I recommended yesterday?"

"Which restaurant?"

Yang Luyi paused for a moment, then realized which restaurant Liu Qianqian was asking about, and said with a look of sudden realization, "Oh, Qianqian, you’re talking about the Delicious Restaurant, right?"

"Judging by the tone of your voice, you’ve been there already, haven’t you?!"

Liu Qianqian knowingly asked, "How was it? I didn’t lie to you, right? Isn’t this restaurant just incredibly delicious?"

"Mmm, mmm, it really is delicious!"

Yang Luyi nodded enthusiastically like a pecking chick.

Like the other patrons, after tasting such delicious food, she couldn’t wait to share this taste with her family and friends.

With a joyful expression, she said, "Qianqian, let me tell you, the chef’s skills are amazing, and he’s such a nice person. After my interview, he even invited us for a meal! Besides the West Lake Vinegar Fish, I’ve tasted other delicacies from the restaurant, and they are all super tasty."

Invited to stay and eat by Boss Huang?

Liu Qianqian, who had never received such treatment, felt a tinge of envy and jealousy in her heart.

Fortunately, she had tasted Boss Huang’s West Lake Vinegar Fish, which balanced out a bit of her slight disappointment!

"I’ve had the West Lake Vinegar Fish, and it was really nice."

She asked a bit proudly, "Luyi, what’s your favorite dish there?"

"This... this is really hard to choose..."

Yang Luyi looked troubled. For her, all the food in the restaurant was delicious and hard to rank, so she threw the difficult question back to Liu Qianqian like a hot potato, "How about you? What’s your favorite dish there?"

"Me..."

Liu Qianqian thought for a moment, "I think my favorite is... Dongpo Pork!"

Yang Luyi said, "I feel like what I most likely like is the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce!"

"Ah... what did you say? Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce with meat?"

Liu Qianqian almost thought she had heard wrong.

In her memory, at Boss Huang’s restaurant, they only had vegetarian Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce...

She couldn’t help but ask puzzledly, "Luyi, are you sure you went to the right place?"

"Yes!"

Yang Luyi shook her head and said, "At the corner of West City Old Street, Delicious Restaurant."

Liu Qianqian pursued further, "The boss’s last name is Huang, right?"

"Yes!"

Yang Luyi nodded, "And the boss is really handsome! He totally fits my aesthetic, he’s my type!"

"But..."

Liu Qianqian was puzzled, "They only have vegetarian Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce! Since when do they have a version with meat?"

Yang Luyi laughed, "They started serving it at lunch. I heard they were launching new dishes at lunchtime! Unexpectedly, I happened to come across it. I must say, my luck today is really good."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qianqian remained silent for a while.

So, Boss Huang had launched a new dish?

She was totally unaware?

She murmured, "So it was a new dish! Boss Huang is really fast with launching new items!"

Yang Luyi responded, "Then hurry over, my treat!"

Liu Qianqian wanted to cry without tears, "Boohoo, I have to work, I can’t get away! Even if I rush over now, I wouldn’t be able to eat without queuing up..."

Yang Luyi glanced back at the queue outside Huang Tao’s restaurant and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, having the chance to eat Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce with meat at lunchtime is tough...
