"Boss, we're heading out now. See you tomorrow."

After tidying up, Xu Hao and the others were ready to head home and said their goodbyes to Huang Tao's family.

Sitting at the dining table calculating the day's sales, Huang Tao looked up at them and smiled, reminding, "Alright, be safe on your way home."

"With so many of us, nothing will happen."

With a smile, Lin Yuhan playfully called out, "Don't worry, half-teacher..."

Huang Tao: "..."

Song Cailian: "???"

Huang Yide: "???"

Just coming out of the kitchen, Lin Zifeng: "???"

What does that mean?

What half-teacher?

Which half is it?

Is it the upper half or the lower half?

Newcomer Lin Zifeng felt like he missed something.

He asked puzzledly, "Lin Yuhan, what is this half-teacher you're talking about? Are you telling ghost stories at night?"

Huang Tao: "..."

"It's a misunderstanding. I learned some cooking from Boss Huang for a few days, but he doesn't accept apprentices, so I can't directly call him my teacher. Though I've only learned cooking from him for a few days, in my heart, he's like half a teacher to me. That's why I jokingly called him half-teacher..." Lin Yuhan explained earnestly.

Oh, that's what it was!

Lin Zifeng realized, "Oh, that gave me a fright. I thought you were about to share some supernatural event!"

"..."

Huang Tao chuckled, "Yuhan, I appreciate your sentiment. From now on, just call me Boss Huang or Tao, this half-teacher thing is a bit creepy..."

"Well then, Boss Huang, we're off now. Bye-bye... Xuanxuan, bye-bye," Lin Yuhan nodded, waving at them.

"Boss, Xuanxuan, Uncle Huang, Aunt Huang, bye-bye..."

"Aunt Suqin, Uncle Haozi, sisters and brothers, goodbye..."

Xuanxuan waved her little hand, watching their figures disappear at the shop door.

Just then, Huang Tao finished calculating today's earnings and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Huang Yide asked, "What's up?"

Curiously, Song Cailian asked, "Son, did you figure it out? How much did we earn today?"

"Mom, take a guess?" Huang Tao teased.

Song Cailian thought for a moment and made a gesture indicating her guess: "60,000?"

"After deducting various expenses, it's about 150,000!" He smiled slightly.

"How much?!" Song Cailian was so shocked her mouth gaped open, "Over 150,000 in one day?!"

"That's a lot!"

Huang Yide also widened his eyes.

This is just one day! No, just around a dozen hours or so!

He nodded, "Yes!"

Huang Yide was a bit puzzled, "These profits are much higher than steamed buns, right?"

"Absolutely!"

Song Cailian said enviously, "Your dad and I's annual salary is just about equal to your one-day profit."

"My son is truly accomplished!" She gently patted Huang Tao's shoulder with a gratified smile.

Huang Tao laughed, "This is just because of the food festival; it's not like this on regular days! Let's keep a low profile."

This wave of income significantly advanced his car-buying project.

Along with the existing income, he could directly buy a mid-range car.

He leaned toward a pure electric SUV in his heart!

He planned to visit a car dealership after this busy period.

Song Cailian nodded, "Don't worry, your dad and I won't brag about this to relatives and friends."

"Yes, it's getting late. Let's head home; you need to rest early for tomorrow." Huang Yide looked at the time and said.

He nodded, went over, and picked Xuanxuan up from the chair, "Sweetheart, let's go home!"

Xuanxuan wrapped her arms around his neck and softly said, "Daddy, put me down. I want to walk by myself..."

The little one thought her dad was already tired from the day and carrying her would make him even more exhausted.

Her little thoughts were understood by Huang Tao, who didn't expose her and respected her wishes by setting her down, "Alright, Xuanxuan will walk by herself..."

After locking the shop door.

Huang Tao held Xuanxuan's little hand, guiding his parents, along with Mimi and Xiexie, down the West City Old Street towards home.

"Boss Huang, you're heading home late again today! Were you busy preparing ingredients for tomorrow's food festival?"

"Boss Huang, those braised chicken wings were really delicious at today's food festival! My grandson loved them and still wants more! What time will you start setting up tomorrow morning? I'll come by again..."

"At today's food festival, your stall, Boss Huang, was the busiest. Congratulations..."

"Xuanxuan, here, have some snacks. Little cherries, do you like them?"

"Just right, I cut up some cantaloupe, very sweet, have a taste!"

The neighbors remained as enthusiastic as ever with Huang Tao.

Xuanxuan smiled sweetly, "Grandpas and grandmas, aunties and uncles, my dad made fish balls today, and there'll be Fish Ball Soup at tomorrow's food festival. If you want some, come by..."

"Oh! There's going to be Fish Ball Soup tomorrow... I love fish balls, and I'm off tomorrow, so I'll definitely come..."

"Products from Boss Huang must be delicious, I'll definitely come to try them."}

"I also want to sample this new Fish Ball Soup!"

Xuanxuan sweetly smiled, "Alright! Then we'll not part ways tomorrow..."

After a few words with Huang Tao and the others, the neighbors encouraged them to go home and rest well.

Resuming their walk, the group returned to their own home.

It was already late, so he first took a bath, then urged Xuanxuan to bathe.

After bathing, dressed her in a nightgown, and having brushed their teeth, he took her out of the bathroom.

Song Cailian came over to them, "Son, you take Xuanxuan to sleep. Throw out the clothes you want washed, and I'll wash them for you."

"Mom, I can wash them myself." He smiled.

"Go to sleep. With how exhausted you are, still washing them yourself!"

Thinking about how he had been busy non-stop all day, Song Cailian felt a stabbing ache in her heart, wanting to help him as much as possible.

Otherwise, she would feel like she was of no use here, unable to lend a hand.

"Alright then!" He nodded.

He placed the changed clothes into the dirty laundry basket and handed it to Song Cailian.

"Mom, you and Dad should rest early too. You'll need to get up early tomorrow..."

"Go to sleep, don't worry about us. We're older and need less sleep, waking up early won't be an issue."

"Grandpa and Grandma, good night..."

Xuanxuan waved goodbye and followed Huang Tao to the bedroom.

Since it was too late, tonight's bedtime story was temporarily postponed.

Xuanxuan climbed onto the bed obediently, pulled the little blanket over herself.

Seeing that she was lying down, Huang Tao tucked her in, gently stroked her hair, lowered his head to give her smooth forehead a gentle kiss, and softly said, "Sleep well, my darling."

She reminded him, "Daddy, make sure you take me with you tomorrow morning~"

"Daddy will definitely take you along!"

"Hehe~ Daddy, good night."

With her dad's assurance, she contentedly snuggled over, gave Huang Tao's cheek a peck, and closed her eyes peacefully.

Not long after, she drifted into deep slumber, the corners of her lips slightly curled, hinting a faint smile.

Looks like she's having a sweet dream!

Huang Tao raised his hand to switch off the lamp, tucked himself into bed, and went off to dreamland.
