Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 420 - 410: Sinister Intentions

Liu Qianqian couldn’t make it to Delicious Restaurant to try the new Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, so she went to check the restaurant’s official Weibo to see the food pictures.

Seeing is eating, right?

Unfortunately...

Boss Huang hadn’t posted any promotional content for the new dish on the official Weibo.

Helpless, she turned to Yang Luyi for help, asking her to send some food pictures of the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce so she could appease her cravings.

But as she recalled Yang Luyi’s description of its deliciousness, she herself, due to work, could only have cafeteria food for lunch.

This left her feeling...

Full of imbalance!

Once her holiday comes, she definitely wants to go to Delicious Restaurant and properly taste this Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce.

She wants to eat two servings all by herself!

Looking at the freshly sent photos of Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce from Yang Luyi on her phone, an idea gradually emerged in her mind.

She couldn’t let herself suffer this torment alone, bearing this kind of pain...

If she’s going to suffer, everyone should suffer together.

So then...

She immediately posted these food photos on her own Weibo, simply and crudely, to gather some friends to suffer with her!

In the process, she also promoted Delicious Restaurant in advance.

With this in mind, Liu Qianqian lightly tapped on her phone screen, typing out her message.

Streamer’s daily life: Heard that Delicious Restaurant is launching a new dish at lunch... Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce! For those who love this dish, you can go try it if you get the chance. With pictures to prove it, featuring the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce from Delicious Restaurant.

As soon as the Weibo went live!

Her followers quickly saw it.

Looking at the mouth-watering food photos, their mouths uncontrollably watered, and their stomachs started growling.

It directly made them hungry!

Only then did they realize Liu Qianqian’s malevolent intentions.

Right before lunch time, she posted such a tempting food Weibo, wasn’t this deliberate?!

They endured their hunger and strongly condemned Liu Qianqian.

Global Girl Style: This is too much, posting such tempting things right before lunch, Qianqian, are you even human? I can’t finish the coffee in my hand!

Campaign Four Corners: What the hell, this dish looks so tasty!

Sunflower on the Tree: I stubbornly checked Delicious Restaurant’s official Weibo again, and there’s no post about new dishes! I was ready to yell at the blogger for spreading rumors, but such an enticing and delicious Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce must be from Delicious Restaurant, sob sob sob...

Walking in the Bamboo Grove with the Clear Wind: Oh my gosh, what a divine collaboration, my favorite female streamer actually posted Boss Huang’s dish!

The Lilies of July Haven’t Bloomed: Big beauty Qianqian, tell us, how exactly did you get this news? Where did you get these food photos from? Could it be that you have some connection with Boss Huang?

The Mountains and Rivers Are All Right: I don’t know if there’s a connection, but Streamer Qianqian had an interaction with Boss Huang at this year’s food festival; as for whether there’s a private relationship, I don’t know, but yesterday at noon, I saw Streamer Qianqian standing outside the kitchen at Boss Huang’s restaurant, gazing admiringly at Boss Huang inside the kitchen, maybe they already have something going on privately... hehehe, everyone who understands gets it, I won’t say more.

Moon Leans on Light Clouds: Holy crap, the beautiful hostess and Boss Huang together?

I’ve been mischievous since childhood: I’m heartbroken! I feel like my goddess has taken a liking to Boss Huang!

As she watched the constantly refreshing likes and gradually off-topic comments underneath her Weibo.

She felt an indescribable sense of speechlessness.

These netizens are making up stories so vividly, they almost made her, the person involved, doubt whether she really liked Boss Huang.

One has to say, these netizens are truly talented!

Of course.

She wouldn’t respond to such baseless rumors!

To avoid making matters worse.

Just give it the silent treatment!

Meanwhile, Huang Tao as usual, was preparing to post photos and descriptions of the new dish on the official Weibo when, upon opening, he saw many customers wailing under the latest post:

Desire Lures the Heart*: !!! Tapping my chopsticks on my big bowl, heard there will be new Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce at lunch, waiting expectantly.

Slap Your Hypocritical Heart: Boss Huang, you’re not being fair at all! You’re not even mentioning the new Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce on the official account for lunch.

Head Up with a Smile, Sunflower Brightness: Waah, I’m craving it so much now that I don’t want to go to work!!! Boss Huang, compensate me! Just let me successfully buy the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce at noon, waah...

Huang Tao skims through the top few posts and can’t help but laugh out loud.

These days!

Customers urging for new dishes can work wonders!

He couldn’t help but scroll down a bit more, taking a few more looks.

But the more he looked, the stranger it seemed.

Many customers and netizens were asking about his relationship with Liu Qianqian, some even asking if he was dating Liu Qianqian.

Others accused him of stealing away their goddess...

Why?

What’s going on? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Could someone tell him what happened?

Huang Tao’s face was instantly filled with confusion.

He searched and found out that it was previously posted by that female streamer Liu Qianqian, a Weibo post about the new Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce at his restaurant, which led the netizens to misunderstand.

Ah!

This was truly "one Weibo post causing a misunderstanding incident!"

Seeing Liu Qianqian not responding to such off-topic comments, he also decided, adhering to the principle of less trouble is better, not to respond to avoid causing her unnecessary trouble, thinking a silent treatment would do.

He just posted on his Weibo as originally planned with the photos he just took of the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce.

Super Delicious Restaurant: Heard everyone’s craving this Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, so I’ll arrange it for you. Available today at noon at 11, eighty servings, first come first served! Picture jpg.

Without You, I Also Live Like a Queen: Is that it? Is that it? Seventy servings wouldn’t even be enough for our company people!

Desire Lures the Heart*: Ahhh, finally there’s an official announcement for the Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, glad I didn’t give up, but Boss Huang, aren’t you being a bit stingy? Eighty servings wouldn’t even be enough for my dental gaps!

Head Up with a Smile, Sunflower Brightness: So it’s another hand speed contest at noon, huh? Pity us office workers, by the time we get there, there’s only Braised Pork Rice left, though they’re all pretty good orz.

Qing Shan Du Gui Yuan: Hahaha, luckily I don’t have class today, I’m gonna show everyone how lively it is on site! Picture jpg.

Gather Oranges into a Sea: The one above, I came a minute later than you, just five or six people behind.

Even without opening the picture, you can feel the massive line from front to back.

The Mountains and Rivers Are All Right: I happened to be shopping nearby today, and after seeing the Weibo by Streamer Qianqian, I came without hesitation, but it looks like... it’s still a no-go... these local residents and college students are just too fierce.

...

Food and Beauty Magazine.

Editor-in-Chief’s Office.

Lin Manli leaned back in her leather chair, browsing through the comments on their own Weibo, and the emails in Food and Beauty Magazine’s inbox.

After publishing the issue featuring Huang Tao’s restaurant, they had produced several more magazine issues.

But!

The sales and reaction weren’t great.

Not that they were bad.

But compared to the issue featuring Huang Tao’s restaurant, they were completely overshadowed!

"Hmm? Delicious Restaurant? We’ve already done one issue of the magazine on it, how could we do another one in such a short time?"

Looking at the plethora of netizens begging the magazine to release another issue covering Delicious Restaurant’s food, Lin Manli felt quite helpless.

In the industry, there’s never been a precedent for any eatery being featured in several food magazine issues in one year...

But the more she looked, the more she noticed something unusual.

A plant-based Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce that can pass for the real thing...

Hmm, Boss Huang has introduced a new dish?

Unable to resist, she headed over to Delicious Restaurant’s official Weibo for a complete look...

Besides the plant-based Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, there was also a genuine Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce to be released at noon.

Moreover, recently, they also launched new dishes like Deep-fried Criolla.

A bold idea began to form in her mind.
