New products, you know!

Of course, they attract a lot of attention!

Look, Fish Ball Soup has become the top choice for every customer in line; basically, everyone orders a bowl.

As a result, Huang Tao is extremely busy!

He keeps serving bowl after bowl of Fish Ball Soup.

He also needs to occasionally check on the Steamed Spare Ribs with Lotus Leaf and Glutinous Rice to see how they're doing with the steam.

Of course.

Sliced Roast Duck and Boiled Nourishing Fish Soup are a must as well.

Fortunately, after yesterday's practice, he has completely adapted to this high-intensity work and handled it well.

Everything is well-organized and under control~

Ma Deqiang and Lin Duzhu chatted casually for a while before finally reaching the front of the line.

Despite the long wait, they didn't feel tired at all; instead, they were full of anticipation.

"Boss Huang, give us two portions of Fish Ball Soup, two bowls of Nourishing Fish Soup, half a Roast Duck, two portions of Steamed Spare Ribs with Lotus Leaf and Glutinous Rice, and two of each braised dish."

As soon as he got up there, Ma Deqiang quickly placed his order, ordering everything to make up for what he missed last night.

The real reason for his visit this time was temporarily pushed to the back of his mind.

He was afraid that if he moved even a little slower,

the next second, Boss Huang would apologetically tell him that everything else was sold out, leaving only a braised duck neck.

That would be a disaster!

However, seeing the stainless steel trays filled with all kinds of braised dishes and other ingredients on the stall, he finally relaxed.

"Alright, please wait a moment, you two."

Huang Tao didn't expect Ma Deqiang and Lin Duzhu to come over today to support his business again.

And they came so early!

He began to prepare the Nourishing Fish Soup.

Ding Suqin packed two portions of the Fish Ball Soup that had just been cooked and took out two portions of the Steamed Spare Ribs with Lotus Leaf and Glutinous Rice from the steamer.

Lin Yuhan and Yan Ming, who were in charge of packing the braised dishes, were also busy packing for the customers while taking on the cashier duty, reporting the price to them: "Hello, the total is 412 yuan."

Upon hearing this, Ma Deqiang immediately took out his phone to pay with joy.

Now, he was completely at ease.

He also remembered the real purpose of his visit this time.

Taking advantage of the waiting time, he said with a smile: "Boss Huang, I came with Director Lin this time to bring you some good news."

Good news?

What good news?

Upon hearing this, Huang Yide and his wife, along with the store employees, became very interested and looked at Ma Deqiang with curiosity.

Xuanxuan, who was sitting by the standing mobile whiteboard, brightened up at the words "good news" and curiously asked first: "Grandpa Ma, what good news are you telling my daddy?"

Having fully embraced the title of "grandpa," Ma Deqiang smiled kindly: "Oh, Xuanxuan wants to know!"

"Mm-hmm~"

Xuanxuan nodded vigorously.

She wanted to know anything about her daddy.

"Then grandpa will tell you, your daddy's stall was very popular with the customers at the food festival yesterday, and it has been voted 'Most Popular Stall.' Grandpa specially came this time to invite your daddy to participate in the 'On-Stage Cooking Demonstration' this afternoon."

"Grandpa Ma, what is an 'On-Stage Cooking Demonstration'? What's it for?"

Xuanxuan tilted her head, her big pure eyes filled with curiosity, trying to understand what "On-Stage Cooking Demonstration" meant!

However, she suddenly remembered that the adults mentioned yesterday that chefs were invited to teach cooking on stage. She seemed to understand.

She smiled sweetly: "Grandpa Ma, is it about going on stage to teach people how to cook?"

"Right, Xuanxuan is really smart~"

After getting the confirmation, Xuanxuan quickly turned her head, her eyes shining as she looked at Huang Tao!

Did you hear that?!

Daddy!

You're going to teach people how to cook on stage~

Huang Tao caught a glimpse of Xuanxuan's little expression and nodded to her, indicating that he had heard everything.

Ma Deqiang and Lin Duzhu were amused.

Huang Yide, his wife, and the employees all felt happy for Huang Tao and proud.

After all, this is an honor!

Xuanxuan also thought her daddy was amazing!

Ding Suqin and other employees all started congratulating: "Boss, congratulations! You've been invited to participate in the 'On-Stage Cooking Demonstration'..."

"Thank you~"

Huang Tao maintained a calm demeanor, but inside he was a little flustered.

That's right.

This sudden good news caught him off guard.

After all, he never thought about being in the 'On-Stage Cooking Demonstration.'

But it happened to fall on him.

The problem is, he's not prepared at all~

This is also the reason why he's a little flustered.

If he could decline, he really didn't want to do it.

He doesn't really care about these empty honors.

What he cares about is how to successfully complete the task of Fish Ball Soup today and get the rewards.

But the 'On-Stage Cooking Demonstration' is also the most important part of this year's food festival.

He can't break the rules.

Fortunately, the 'On-Stage Cooking Demonstration' starts at 3 PM, and there's still some time to prepare.

But he only knows how to make a few dishes!

Does he have to go up and teach people how to cook braised dishes?

But then he would have to reveal the braised dish recipe!

Teach Roast Duck or make Fish Balls?

That would mean bringing equipment on stage, and the host might ask a lot of questions.

With his clumsy speaking, he's likely unable to handle the host's verbal skill.

It could easily lead to inconsistency and awkwardness.

Teach Steamed Spare Ribs with Lotus Leaf and Glutinous Rice or Crab Fried Cake, or Fried Buns, or Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee?

But yesterday, the International Hotel came out with a grand dish.

His dishes are too ordinary!

Maybe when things are less busy at noon, he could go to the system marketplace and see if he can exchange some skills for a dish with his points.

Ma Deqiang asked with a smile: "Boss Huang, have you thought of what dish you'd like to make for this afternoon's 'On-Stage Cooking Demonstration'?"

"Deputy Director Ma, your message came quite suddenly, and I wasn't prepared at all, so I haven't decided on a dish yet!" He replied with a subtle smile, honestly.

Not prepared at all?!

Boss Huang, is your heart too big...

Regardless of the booth, whether they can go on stage or not, they would prepare one or two options.

But you've done nothing, saying it came suddenly.

Your business was booming yesterday; didn't you have any clue?

Or are you not aware of your own abilities?

Ma Deqiang chuckled, accepted the food he ordered, and said: "Then Boss Huang, think about what dish you'd like to make, and just let our staff know before 2 PM, so we can prepare."

"Okay, I understand!"

Huang Tao nodded, watching them leave.

The customers in line reacted, all expressing surprise:

"Wow... the boss is going to do the 'On-Stage Cooking Demonstration,' I must go learn this afternoon."

"Amazing! Boss, I wouldn't even support my grandma crossing the street, I'm only impressed by you~"

"Haha~ A small restaurant with big accomplishments..."

...

The news that Huang Tao is going to be in the 'On-Stage Cooking Demonstration' in the afternoon spread quickly.

The chefs from various booths, who were idle, gathered again.

Su Mansion's head chef: "I thought that today's 'On-Stage Cooking Demonstration' was a sure thing for the International Hotel, but unexpectedly, Delicious Restaurant emerged out of nowhere, defeating the International Hotel..."

Old Chu, head chef of Taste Memory: "This just shows that their skills aren't as good as others~"

New Kaiyuan Restaurant's head chef: "Sigh! The Yangtze River's waves push the waves ahead, these young folks are just strong..."

"..."

Initially, everyone felt a bit embarrassed that a small restaurant stole the spotlight.

But now, with the International Hotel also being outshined, they instantly felt balanced.

They felt balanced.

But Ma Qingxiong, the head chef of the International Hotel, did not feel balanced.

He was perplexed, how come a five-star hotel wasn't as good as a small restaurant?

He was also very curious about just how delicious the small restaurant's dishes were~

More curious about the culinary skills of Boss Huang from this small restaurant?
