Huang Tao and his family returned to the Delicious Restaurant booth, surrounded by a crowd of diners and chefs from various hotels and restaurants.

"Boss Huang is back!"

"Oh my God! Boss Huang is finally back."

"Oh dear! I've squatted so long that my legs are numb."

"Don't push, don't push, I was here first, let me go ahead."

The previously quiet food festival area suddenly burst into lively chatter due to Huang Tao's arrival!

Huang Tao's family hadn't even stepped into their booth yet!

Dozens of customers who had been waiting in front of the Delicious Restaurant booth early on, began eagerly lining up in an orderly fashion.

They all showed him big, happy smiles, greeting noisily:

"Good afternoon, Boss Huang!"

Oh my~

The other diners who had followed Huang Tao back from the cooking demonstration couldn't help but show faces as if thinking "Someone's always eyeing my spot in line," but didn't dare delay any further and also rushed to join the line.

This slightly chaotic yet lively scene perfectly demonstrated everyone's dedication as true food lovers.

Dedicated food lovers with a soul, willing to fight tooth and nail for delicious dishes!

In no time.

The line grew incredibly long!

This scene, observed by Ma Qingxiong and others, sparked both envy and a sense that it was well-deserved.

Dongling Stone Hotel's Chef: "Only Boss Huang could make these diners eagerly line up like that!"

Yunding Hotel's Chef: "Indeed! Ever since Boss Huang joined this year's food festival, it has become much livelier compared to previous years! Boss Huang has practically single-handedly carried the entire festival this year. Truly a standout!"

Maideng Hotel's Chef: "It's because Boss Huang's culinary skills are excellent, and the food he makes is incredibly delicious, attracting so many diners to line up at his booth. We can only envy that."

Taste Memory's Chef, Old Qian: "Exactly! If we had Boss Huang's culinary skills, wouldn't all the customers be lining up to buy from us? We wouldn't be so desolate!"

Xinglong Restaurant's Chef: "Exactly, exactly, such thriving business is only seen at Boss Huang's booth. We can only envy, but at least we learned the authentic method for making West Lake Vinegar Fish, making the trip worth it!"

The chefs all nodded in agreement.

Their hearts were filled with admiration that could circle the food festival area five times over.

After all, they had just witnessed firsthand what truly superb culinary skills looked like!

With admiration in their hearts, they returned to their respective booths.

There were now an estimated three to four hundred people lined up in front of Huang Tao's booth!

And more customers were continuously arriving.

Many customers, seeing that Huang Tao had returned to his booth after a quick glance, hurriedly joined the queue.

Xuanxuan, seeing so many people lining up, felt very happy and sweetly said, "Thank you, uncles and aunties, grandpas and grandmas, for supporting my daddy's business~"

"Haha~ What an adorable little one!"

"I suddenly want to have a daughter again! What to do?"

"Another day of envying Boss Huang."

"Such a sweet talker, well-raised indeed!"

Xuanxuan, a bit shy from the compliments, hid behind Huang Tao with a smile, only revealing one lively eye.

Seeing this, Huang Tao chuckled, holding her little hand, and entered the booth.

Those who had always stayed in the stall, like Ding Suqin, gathered around when they saw this.

Ding Suqin smiled and said, "Boss, I heard your West Lake Vinegar Fish was very popular and was highly praised by Master Wei Mingguo and others! Congratulations, Boss."

Lin Yuhan smiled admiringly and said, "Boss, you're amazing. I heard that the audience and other chefs at the booth rushed up to the stage just to taste a bite of your West Lake Vinegar Fish, causing a near brawl. If not for the intervention of staff and security, a dish of West Lake Vinegar Fish might have triggered a bloodbath!"

"Now, our Delicious Restaurant is famous again!" Ji said happily.

"I suddenly crave a taste of the boss's West Lake Vinegar Fish! It must be incredibly delicious, but unfortunately, I can't try it now!"

Food enthusiast Yan Ming, after overhearing the news from the demonstration site about Huang Tao's West Lake Vinegar Fish, felt his mouth water based on their description.

He couldn't stop thinking about it!

Seeing Yan Ming's pitiful expression, Huang Tao couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, once we arrange things with the suppliers in a few days, I'll make a few fish for you all to try so you can have your fill."

"Thank you, Boss. You're a kindhearted, excellent boss!" Yan Ming thanked with a slight bow.

"Alright, enough talk, let's get to work. Don't keep the customers waiting."

"Got it, Boss, getting to work right away!"

Yan Ming enthusiastically dove into preparing the marinated dishes.

Lin Yuhan also began greeting the customers with great friendliness, asking what the customers in front wanted to order.

"I'd like two bowls of Fish Ball Soup and half a roast duck, that's all, thank you."

Hearing the customer's order, Huang Tao washed his hands and started cooking the dishes for the customers.

...

Meanwhile.

Wei Mingguo and the others, feeling satisfied and joyful, leisurely walked towards the large building on the commercial pedestrian street.

As they walked, they couldn't help but offer a few praises.

Of course.

Their exaggerated compliments were naturally about Huang Tao!

And Huang Tao's West Lake Vinegar Fish!

At this moment, the three of them happened to run into two acquaintances.

Ma Deqiang and Lin Duzhu!

Out of politeness, the three of them greeted them in unison: "Deputy Director Ma, Director Lin, hello!"

"Oh, it's Elder Wei, Elder Qin, Elder Zhu, all three of you!"

Ma Deqiang, hearing the voices, looked up to see Wei Mingguo and the others, all glowing with happiness, and asked curiously with a smile, "Where are you three coming from? Why so cheerful, grinning from ear to ear? Did something good happen? Tell us."

Lin Duzhu was curious too!

After all, the joy on Wei Mingguo and the others' faces was almost palpable, and he had overheard the name "Boss Huang," which made him even more curious.

Wei Mingguo smiled: "We just came back from the demonstration site, where we watched Boss Huang make West Lake Vinegar Fish."

West Lake Vinegar Fish?

This is a classic dish of Zhejiang Cuisine!

Boss Huang "demonstrating" how to make this dish?!

This was unexpected for Ma Deqiang and Lin Duzhu. They didn't expect Huang Tao could even make a famous dish!

Of course.

They didn't doubt Huang Tao's skill in handling this famous dish.

Even if, deep down, they harbored a slight skepticism, it was instantly dismissed by themselves.

After all, the expressions on the faces of the three food critics in front of them sufficiently indicated their satisfaction with Huang Tao's West Lake Vinegar Fish.

"Elder Wei, and how was the taste of Boss Huang's West Lake Vinegar Fish?" Lin Duzhu couldn't help but ask.

"Director Lin, let me put it this way!"

Wei Mingguo's expression was filled with delight: "As soon as you pick up the fish meat with chopsticks, you can feel its tenderness. There's not a hint of fishiness when you taste it; it's smooth, sweet, and sour. If you savor the fish, it even has a crabmeat flavor!"

"In short, Boss Huang's West Lake Vinegar Fish retains its tradition and original flavor, which is truly commendable!"

!!!

Boss Huang, that's not very considerate!

"Demonstrating" West Lake Vinegar Fish without notifying them, making them miss out on this delicious dish.

They regretted not reminding the staff at the "demonstration site" to keep them updated on Huang Tao's activities.

At this moment, both Lin Duzhu and Ma Deqiang looked regretful.

If they had known that the dish Huang Tao would be demonstrating in the afternoon was West Lake Vinegar Fish, they would have put down their work, no matter how busy, to go see it.

And get a taste in the process!

But now...

It feels like missing out on a fortune!
