As the "live cooking demonstration" approached its start time, more and more people appeared on the scene.

It's still five minutes to 3 o'clock!

The audience seats were already packed to the brim.

Not a single seat was vacant!

Many chefs and food enthusiasts arriving late had no place to sit.

They had to orderly stand on the sides of the seats or the open space at the back.

The atmosphere was intense!

The staff on-site were also busy with final preparations.

A camera was set up.

Photographers with their large and small lenses were bustling back and forth in the aisles, occasionally flashing dazzling lights.

In contrast, the stage seemed much quieter.

Only Huang Tao and Liu Qianqian were waiting at the side.

When Liu Qianqian saw the large crowd below the stage, surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

No wonder she was surprised!

After all, today's lively scene was in stark contrast to yesterday's quiet one.

Could it be that these people all came for Boss Huang's culinary skills?!

Being self-aware, she naturally wouldn't foolishly think these people came for her!

If that were the case, they would have come yesterday!

No need to wait until today!

Seeing many chefs from various hotels and restaurants in the crowd, even the usually proud five-star hotel head chef Ma Qingxiong came to observe, she couldn't help but look forward to Huang Tao's culinary skills.

If not for maintaining her figure and restraining herself from the food exhibition area.

Now.

She wouldn't only know of Huang Tao's culinary skills from rumors!

And Huang Tao, with no stage experience, while appearing calm seeing the large audience below, was a tad nervous inside.

His whole posture seemed extremely upright!

"Boss Huang, don't be so stiff! Relax a bit, just smile naturally!"

Liu Qianqian, in her champagne-colored gown, smiled slightly and even shared some advice: "If you feel nervous with all these people watching, just imagine them as 'cabbages'."

Huang Tao: "..."

This idea wasn't bad!

But he couldn't bear to think of Xuanxuan and his parents as cabbages~

Hmm~

If he gets nervous later, he would just look at his precious daughter Xuanxuan. One look at her chubby little face, and he'd forget all his nervousness, having only his little darling Xuanxuan in his eyes and heart!

Thinking this, he couldn't help but look for Xuanxuan's figure below the stage.

The father and daughter seemed to have a tacit understanding, looking at each other at the same time.

Eyes met!

Xuanxuan's tender little face rippled with joy, and her chubby little hand pointed at him, happily shouting, "Daddy, Daddy…"

He waved back at her in response.

"Grandma, Grandma, look, Daddy is waving at me~"

She excitedly patted Song Cailian's hand, eager to rush to her dad.

But she knew that dad was working now and shouldn't be disturbed.

So, she restrained herself.

Song Cailian cheerfully comforted her: "Alright, grandma sees him. Now, sit nicely, your dad is about to start cooking."

"Okay~"

Xuanxuan nodded like a little drum, sitting obediently, her heart full of anticipation!

"Dun~ Dun~ Dun~"

At this moment, Old Qin and Wei Mingguo, along with another, arrived at the scene.

The head chefs from various hotels and restaurants, including the five-star International Hotel's head chef Ma Qingxiong, were surprised to see them.

Oh my~

Even Elder Wei, Elder Qin, and Elder Zhu came to observe…

Of course, respect and politeness should be shown towards seniors.

The head chefs from various hotels and restaurants greeted them respectfully and with smiles: "Elder Wei, Elder Qin, Elder Zhu…"

Ma Qingxiong greeted warmly and respectfully: "Elder Wei, Elder Qin, Elder Zhu, you've come!"

Old Qin and Wei Mingguo nodded to the group of head chefs and proceeded directly to the front of the temporary stage.

Wei Mingguo looked at Huang Tao and courteously asked, "Boss Huang, is everything ready on your side? Is there anything I can help with?"

Old Qin and Old Zhu also said in unison: "Boss Huang, if you need help, feel free to ask!"

Huang Tao chuckled openly: "Everything is ready, just waiting to go on stage later! Thank you!"

Wei Mingguo smiled: "Alright, then we'll go over there first and come back later to taste your West Lake Vinegar Fish~"

Huang Tao nodded: "Okay."

Wei Mingguo and the others nodded to Liu Qianqian beside them and then went to find temporary chairs to sit.

Liu Qianqian glanced quickly, not expecting the highly respected Elder Wei and others to nod to her, a small host.

She realized that this treatment was all thanks to Boss Huang!

Initially, she doubted the rumors of Wei Mingguo's praise and tears over Huang Tao's delicious food.

Now, seeing Wei Mingguo and others attending with their aged bodies and being respectful to Huang Tao, she realized her perspective was too small.

This scene, in the eyes of chefs like Ma Qingxiong, almost made them shed tears of envy and jealousy.

This moment was something they had dreamt of achieving!

Speaking of which!

Although all are chefs, why does Boss Huang receive special treatment from Elders Wei and the others, while they do not?

Sigh!

It's a bitter story!

Many audience members who recognized Elder Wei and the others were slightly surprised.

They didn't expect culinary industry personalities not only to come and observe but also to treat Boss Huang with such respect and courtesy.

It seems these culinary industry bigwigs think highly of Boss Huang!

Thinking this, their anticipation for Huang Tao's upcoming demonstration of West Lake Vinegar Fish rose dramatically.

On stage, Liu Qianqian, seeing that it was about time, smiled and reminded: "Boss Huang, it's about time, let's start!"

"Okay!"

"To be honest, I'm really looking forward to your West Lake Vinegar Fish~"

"Is that so! Then do have a taste later."

"Oh! I was waiting for you to say that, remember to let me taste it first later!"

"Okay!"

Their conversation made the atmosphere a bit more relaxed.

Huang Tao nodded, washed his hands, and walked to the temporary stove.

Ready to start his "live cooking demonstration."

The images on the LED screen changed, and the cameraman quickly focused the camera.

The two hosts and chefs, both handsome and beautiful, appeared at the center of the stage as the music began.

Wearing a champagne-colored dress, Liu Qianqian held the microphone and cheerfully said: "Good afternoon, dear guests! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the 'live cooking demonstration' at this year's food festival."

As she spoke, she smiled and walked gracefully toward Huang Tao, not forgetting to wave to the audience: "This afternoon, Boss Huang, the owner and chef of the Delicious Restaurant, will personally bring you the second 'live cooking demonstration.' Give a round of applause to welcome him…"

She hadn't even started clapping yet!

The audience immediately erupted in thunderous applause.

Even little Xuanxuan was clapping the most enthusiastically!
