When the small truck that Huang Tao was riding on arrived at the outer perimeter of the commercial pedestrian street.

Ding Suqin and the three college students, along with his parents and daughter, had already arrived in advance.

Seeing him get out of the car.

Xuanxuan happily waved her little hand towards him, "Daddy~ Daddy~ We are here~"

"Hey!"

He walked over, squatted down, and playfully touched foreheads with Xuanxuan. After a warm exchange, he let his parents take Xuanxuan to Booth 88 first.

As for him!

He then helped Ding Suqin and the others to gradually unload the ingredients and equipment from the truck.

Moved them to the front of Booth 88.

Huang Tao discovered that the organizers had thoughtfully replaced the promotional paper in front of the booth counter with a simple design poster for Delicious Restaurant.

Above the booth, there was also a red banner of Delicious Restaurant's braised roast duck hanging.

It must be said, the food festival organizers were indeed very attentive!

"Let's tidy up a bit first..."

Before the words had even finished, everyone was already busy cleaning up the booth.

After cleaning.

Everyone then set up the booth in an orderly manner as previously agreed.

Yan Ming and Ji placed the fully automatic roasting machine on the left side of the counter, and the pot of broth with the lid on the right side of the counter.

Lin Yuhan took out a stack of takeaway boxes and chopsticks, placing them next to the fully automatic roasting machine, then took out another stack, placing it on the right side of the counter.

Remaining takeaway boxes were placed inside the cabinet under the counter.

For use if they run out!

Ding Suqin placed the pre-prepared semi-finished roast ducks and sliced fish fillets, lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs, each in a basin covered with plastic wrap.

After Huang Tao placed the heating device in the center of the counter, plugged it in, and ensured everything was correct.

She began to take out the iron trays that had been blanched in hot water one by one, placing them in the center of the counter, temporarily covering them with plastic wrap.

Other items were placed behind the booth.

Huang Tao then attached the pre-prepared payment code to the most prominent place at the booth.

He then took out the pre-prepared standing mobile whiteboard, using a black permanent marker to write down the sales prices.

After finishing writing, Huang Tao carefully reviewed it and found no problems.

He placed the mobile whiteboard at the side of the booth, making it easy for customers to see the prices at a glance.

Huang Yide and his wife brought Xuanxuan over to the organizers to bring back six plastic chairs.

He joyfully invited, "Son, and you four, have a seat first. When it's time, there might be quite a few customers, so take a break now to gather energy for the busy time ahead."

"Daddy, come, sit here..." Xuanxuan's small hand gently tapped the plastic chair, warmly inviting him.

"Xuanxuan, Daddy won't sit, you sit!"

Considering they'd soon be busy, Huang Tao politely declined their kindness.

Xuanxuan blinked her beautiful big eyes and thought for a moment, sweetly asked in her little babble, "Daddy, do you need love?"

Her simple question stunned him.

Looking at his daughter, he quickly went over, squatted down, and hugged her, "I do need it, thank you, my darling."

He kissed her smooth little forehead.

Cute giggles erupted from the little one in his arms.

"It's still early, should Daddy take you for a little walk?"

He smiled and asked after thinking a bit.

"Yes, yes~"

Everything here piqued Xuanxuan's curiosity, and she had longed to explore. Seeing her dad busy arranging things, she buried that desire in her heart. Now that Daddy suggested it, she was more than happy to agree.

"Then let's go."

He picked up Xuanxuan, gently lifting her.

Xuanxuan straddled onto his shoulders.

Feeling like soaring through the clouds for the first time, Xuanxuan shrieked a bit in fear but, realizing she wouldn't fall, she laughed gleefully!

"Dad, Mom, why don't you come along too~"

Huang Tao invited his parents to join them in experiencing the lively atmosphere of the food festival.

This food festival was a comprehensive feast of local delicacies.

An opportunity for food lovers in Wenling to have a carnival.

Without snack stalls, street vendors, or gutter oil...

All the food was meticulously prepared by the chefs from major hotels and restaurants in Wenling, absolutely top-notch!

For example, on the food stall to Huang Tao's left was Taste Memory, which specialized in various teppanyaki barbecues.

The specialty being teppanyaki abalone and teppanyaki squid.

Metal spatulas flipped deftly between the chef's fingers, with steam rising from the teppan as fresh abalone sizzled, producing a sizzling sound that was music to the ears.

The intense grilled aroma of abalone, fully activated on the scorching teppan, permeated the air continuously, offering an irresistible temptation to the taste buds.

Abalone cooked to a golden brown, sprinkled with various seasonings, flipped, and again sprinkled with seasonings.

The seasonings absorbed into the abalone under the high heat, releasing a rich fragrance.

Lastly, garlic and chopped green onions were sprinkled on the palm-sized abalone, creating a dish that was a visual delight!

A spectacle of art combining sight, taste, smell, and sound...

Naturally drawing a large crowd of devoted teppanyaki fans.

And on the food stall to Huang Tao's right was a New Kaiyuan Restaurant.

The main focus of their offerings is on noodles.

They specialize in steamed dumplings, green rice balls, stuffed pancakes, black rice cakes, and colorful shumai.

The variety of shumai is quite abundant.

Yellow skin, green skin, red skin, and even black skin.

These shumai with thin skins and rich fillings steam up with fragrant aroma, and their appearance is excellent, visually quite striking.

The master chefs making the shumai are incredibly fast, crafting one in just a few seconds.

The turnover rate is also quick.

Soon, the shumai, steamed dumplings, and green rice balls in the steamers are ready.

This attracts a continuous stream of customers.

Crowded around this stall, they scramble to buy shumai, steamed dumplings, and green rice balls for breakfast.

The scene is quite lively.

Opposite Huang Tao's stall is the Su Mansion.

They focus on roast whole lamb and roast suckling pig.

The tender lamb meat, roasted over the fire, gradually turns golden brown. The fat from the lamb melts under the high temperature, sizzling and releasing an enticing aroma on the meat...

Many tourists present are drawn by this scent and come forward to inquire.

"This roast lamb smells amazing! How much is it?"

"No rush, it needs at least another 30 minutes to finish roasting! It's 20 yuan a serving."

The chef, seeing a crowd of customers around the stall, is quite pleased.

After all, they're all here for his culinary skills!

And right in front of the main gate is the five-star International Hotel.

They highlight the "Dragon in Four Seas"!

The large lobster meat, shelled and placed in the center of a platter, surrounded by bowls of egg custard with lobster meat. The lobster meat is full, juicy, firm, and tender, very tempting.

The adjacent stall is Xinglong Restaurant.

They also specialize in marinated foods.

Diverse offerings include duck necks, chicken feet, and marinated beef, all visually appealing and tempting.

Huang Tao and his group wander around briefly; this food festival features numerous dining brands, famous dishes, renowned restaurants, and celebrity chefs.

It's a feast suitable for viewing, tasting, and learning.

In short, the food festival is simply a paradise for foodies and a haven for gourmets.

"Today is truly lively!"

Huang Tao remarks, appreciating the bustling and lively scene.

"It's good to have many people! If this Delicious Restaurant can make a name for itself this time, your business will surely improve." Huang Yide says with a smile.

"Indeed." Huang Tao nods with a smile.

He buys Xuanxuan some of her favorite creamy durian.

The little one eagerly takes a bite of the puff, as if drinking durian milkshake.

"Delicious!"

The little one's eyebrows arch with delight.

Then, the group returns to their own stall.

"Boss, shall we start roasting the duck now?"

Ding Suqin, seeing other stalls already open while theirs hasn't, grows a bit anxious.

"Let's start then!"

Huang Tao agrees with a nod.

Though the food festival officially begins at 10:30.

For both customers and vendors, 8 a.m. is essentially the start.

The so-called 10:30 is merely the official time!

At 10:30, the organizers will make a brief appearance and speeches, that's all.

"Alright then!"

Ding Suqin says, taking out the ducks that had been prepared ahead of time.

She hangs the ducks in the roasting machine one by one.

Closes the door of the automatic roasting machine.

Turns the button to the "on" position.

Huang Tao also starts cooking the nourishing fish soup and steaming the lotus leaf glutinous rice ribs.

Xuanxuan finishes the creamy durian, wipes her little mouth.

Drags her chair beside the mobile whiteboard.

A pretty little girl, resembling a Barbie doll, stands motionless like a mascot by the mobile whiteboard.

Moreover, the little one chirps in a child-like voice, "Come see, come take a look..."

Passersby cast curious glances.

Even the chefs and waiters from nearby stalls stretch their necks to take a look at Xuanxuan.

Charmed by her cuteness!

Huang Tao and others are amused by her adorable demeanor.

Gradually, a few customers, charmed to the core, smilingly gather around.

Most of them young girls.

"Little sister, what is your family selling?"

"Sister, it's all written here! You can see for yourself!"

Xuanxuan points to the mobile whiteboard beside her, sweetly smiling, "Sister, let me tell you, everything my daddy makes is super delicious!"

An older lady joins the fun, gathering around.

She stands next to Xuanxuan, adjusts her glasses, and examines the price list on the standing whiteboard carefully.

Roast Duck: 98 yuan for half, 188 yuan for a whole.

"This roast duck is a bit pricey! Outside, a roast duck only costs 30 yuan each..." the lady complains about the price.

Many young people, upon seeing the price of the roast duck, almost simultaneously have similar thoughts.

"Come on, come on, with the price of half a roast duck here, I could almost buy three roast ducks outside."

"This price is indeed a bit of a rip-off!"

Even though food at the festival may understandably be slightly more expensive than regular stalls,

this roast duck price is indeed more than a little steep!
