Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 83 - 78: I Caught a Big Bug for Dad to Eat!
If it were a younger person, they would definitely burst out with curses.
The customers standing before and after this male customer all looked away from their phones and directed their attention to Huang Yide and his wife, all nodding in agreement.
The pan-fried buns and preserved egg with lean pork congee were already in limited quantities.
One more person cutting in line lowers their chances of getting any.
In front of delicious food, no one is willing to give way.
An impatient customer directly questioned, "Uncle and Auntie, don’t you know that cutting in line is unethical?"
"Don’t worry, Boss Huang said that he won’t sell to anyone who cuts the line."
"Boss Huang really has principles! Let’s give Boss Huang a thumbs up."
Huang Yide laughed cheerfully and revealed their identity, "I am Huang Tao’s dad, and she is Huang Tao’s mom. The two of us are just here to take a look."
Well, I’ll be damned!
When the flood invaded the Dragon King’s temple, the family members couldn’t recognize their own people!
The customer who first spoke out to stop them was the quickest to catch on and change his tune. He smiled and warmly greeted them, "Oh my, turns out you’re Boss Huang’s parents! Of course, you should head straight into the shop, no need to queue!"
Huang Yide and Song Cailian’s inner thoughts at this moment: Wow, even Sichuan opera face-changing isn’t as fast as you!
The other customers’ inner thoughts: You jerk, weren’t you the one who stirred up trouble first?!
In no time, those customers also quickly changed their attitudes.
"No wonder I thought Uncle and Auntie looked familiar earlier; turns out you’re Boss Huang’s parents! My apologies!"
"Uncle, Auntie! I didn’t recognize you both, my eyes failed me, I’m truly sorry!"
"You should have said earlier! Here, I’ll give up my place for you. Please go ahead..." After speaking, they also gestured invitingly.
"Wait, Uncle, Auntie, where do you live? I’d like to visit you sometime."
"Uncle, Auntie, I heard Boss Huang is single now. I have a niece who’s beautiful; maybe they could meet up sometime?"
"Uncle, Auntie, those things you’re holding look heavy. Let me help you carry them inside!"
"Uncle, I’m stronger—let me do it!"
The enthusiasm of the customers made the elderly couple a bit overwhelmed!
"No, no, we can still carry them, thank you..."
The two hurriedly made their way into the shop.
At a glance, they saw their son and two employees busy at work.
Oh!
Hired people?!
Not bad!
Looking again at their son, he was currently making pan-fried buns.
The fluid and effortless movement made the elderly couple show a surprised expression.
They knew the small shop sold pan-fried buns, but they thought they were all bought wholesale from the market.
Never did they expect that it was their son making them by hand!
Look at his graceful movements, truly a pleasure to behold!
Wait a minute!
When did their son learn to make pan-fried buns?
In their memory, although their son knew how to cook, he had never made pan-fried buns!
Was it something he learned in school?
But wasn’t his major in finance in college?
Did the school teach this too?
Besides, if he really learned it during his college days, over these years at home, he would not have kept it a secret!
"Oh my gosh! These braised eggs are delicious, absolutely amazing..."
Huh?
There are braised eggs too?
Only after hearing that did the old couple direct their gaze to the diners inside the shop.
Goodness me!
Every diner’s tray had a few braised eggs beside them.
They looked like normal braised eggs.
Yet the diners inside the shop, with every bite, showed a satisfied expression making life worth living.
Seriously, are they that good?
However, the smell really was fragrant.
"Grandpa!"
"Grandma!"
Xuanxuan, who was sitting at a reserved table, delightfully eating a braised egg, unconsciously looked up and saw Song Cailian and Huang Yide. She quickly jumped from her chair, sweetly called them, and ran towards them.
"Oh my sweet granddaughter! Did you miss Grandma?"
Hearing the call, Song Cailian immediately showed a bright smile. Seeing the little girl rushing towards them, she quickly squatted down, put down her bags, and embraced the little girl.
"Mm~"
Xuanxuan looked at her smiling grandma, then at the braised egg she hadn’t finished eating, hesitated for a while, and lowered her head, slowly answering honestly: "Teacher Ye says kids shouldn’t lie... so Xuanxuan wasn’t just thinking about Grandma."
Upon hearing this, Song Cailian felt a tad bit heartbroken~
Huang Yide, noticing the braised egg in her hand, teased, "Xuanxuan, Grandpa hasn’t had breakfast yet. Could you give Grandpa the braised egg you have?"
Xuanxuan was even more troubled. Her little face scrunched up like a bun as she instinctively tightened her grip on the egg.
Seeing this, Huang Yide also felt a twinge of heartache~
"Pfft..."
The customers in line nearby, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but chuckle.
Song Cailian: ━━∑(￣□￣*|||━━
Huang Yide: (lll￢ω￢)
The old couple glanced plaintively at the onlooking customers in line.
The customers all gave awkward but polite smiles, then slowly diverted their gaze elsewhere, making small talk.
"Oh, let me tell you, Boss Huang is releasing a new dish at noon."
"How did you find out?"
Someone curiously asked.
"Boss Huang said it himself last night!"
"Then tell us, what’s the new dish at noon? So we can line up early!"
The crowd suddenly stopped focusing on Huang Yide and all looked eagerly at the customer with inside knowledge, each one bursting with excitement.
"Crab stir-fried with rice cakes."
"Oh gosh! That means we’re in for a treat at noon! I should come early to queue."
Hearing the dish name, the image of crab stir-fried with rice cakes popped into their minds, and they could imagine just how delicious Boss Huang’s version might be.
The drool almost started dripping.
Looking at the diners, just by hearing the dish name, they all showed a drooling expression.
Huang Yide and his wife found it hard to understand.
It’s normal for them to find it hard to understand.
After all, the couple had not yet tasted the various delicacies made in their son’s shop!
At this moment, Xuanxuan blinked her big eyes and said in her soft voice, "Grandpa, the teacher says that food that has been eaten can’t be given to others, even parents, because it’s not hygienic, so since Xuanxuan has eaten this braised egg, it can’t be given to Grandpa. If Grandpa wants to eat it, he can ask Dad!"
"Alright, alright, Grandpa understands. Grandpa was just teasing you. Xuanxuan, go ahead and eat!" Huang Yide tenderly extended his hand to rub his little granddaughter’s head.
Song Cailian asked with concern: "Xuanxuan, how have you been lately? Are you happy? Are you going to school well? Is school fun?"
"I’m very happy! Being with Daddy every day makes me happy."
Xuanxuan said happily, "Grandma, I’ve been going to school well too! There are so many fun things at school, and I’ve made good friends..."
