Time quietly passes by, leaving behind little memories.
Burying them deep down, burying them deep down, the food is all finished.
That's right.
Around four in the afternoon.
Huang Tao's Delicious Restaurant booth had to close early, as all the prepared ingredients for the day were sold out.
This also meant that his journey through the eighth food festival concluded perfectly.
The early completion of today's sales was thanks to the new and old customers.
They thought about it!
After the food festival ended, it would be hard to get the Delicious Restaurant booth food anytime and anywhere.
Fans who love the Delicious Restaurant booth food, those who want more after tasting, and those who haven't tried it yet seized this last chance and went shopping intensely!
They bought up everything!
Snacks like marinated food, Fish Ball Soup, and fried fish balls were purchased in multiple portions by each person!
This darn explosive buying power!
In one sweep, they bought out all the food from the Delicious Restaurant booth.
It's not that Huang Tao didn't want to restock, but the prepared ingredients in the shop were already used up.
Even if each vendor sent over more ingredients, by the time Xu Hao and the others made them, it would have been 6 or 7 in the evening.
So he decided not to restock, closing up early instead.
After all, the employees were all tired.
He thought of ending the business early, and taking everyone out for a good meal in the evening to relax a bit.
Of course.
The bonus couldn't be left out either!
At this moment, Huang Tao and his team had packed all their booth equipment into the small truck.
Under the reluctant gazes of a crowd of customers and the "take care" wishes from chefs of other booths, they left the food festival, heading towards West City Old Street.
As they were nearing West City Old Street, he glanced at the time.
It was just the time Xuanxuan got off school.
Thinking of giving his precious daughter a surprise, he asked the driver to send the equipment back to the shop and got off the car midway, running towards the kindergarten.
At this moment, outside the kindergarten, many parents were gradually picking up their children.
Huang Tao immediately spotted Xuanxuan walking hand-in-hand with his parents, emerging from the crowd.
He waved to them with a smile and shouted loudly, "Xuanxuan!"
Xuanxuan and Huang Yide's couple heard the call, and they all instantly raised their eyes, looking in the direction the voice came from.
Soon.
They all saw Huang Tao.
Their eyes filled with a look of disbelief, soon turned into a look of joy.
Xuanxuan broke free from grandpa and grandma's hands and ran all the way to Huang Tao.
Huang Tao quickly met her, bent down, and hugged the running Xuanxuan in his arms.
"Papa..."
Xuanxuan rested her little head on Huang Tao's shoulder, her soft little face rubbing against the handsome side of Huang Tao's face, asking in a sweet voice, "Papa, why are you here?"
A full of surprise in her words!
"Everything's sold out, so Daddy came back early to pick you up."
Huang Tao picked her up and couldn't resist kissing her little cheek, asking, "Are you happy to see Daddy?"
Xuanxuan nodded vigorously, a slight dimple on her cheeks appeared: "Yes, happy!"
Huang Tao laughed, "Daddy is very happy to see you too!"
Not just happy!
Really missed her!
Xuanxuan gave a sweet smile, "Papa, I heard from Grandma that you won an award? And three major awards?"
Huang Tao nodded, "Yes! Grandma is right!"
"Papa is awesome~"
Saying this, she puckered her little lips and kissed his cheek to reward him.
This sudden reward made Huang Tao's lips start to show a pleased smile.
"Gosh~"
Xuanxuan, who was clinging to her dad, suddenly remembered something important: "Grandpa and Grandma!"
Just now she was holding hands with Grandpa and Grandma as they walked out of the kindergarten entrance, then heard Dad calling her, and upon seeing Dad, she was so overjoyed that she ran to him and forgot about Grandpa and Grandma.
Will Grandpa and Grandma not be able to find Xuanxuan?
She quickly turned her head and searched eagerly for Grandpa and Grandma's figures.
"Baby, Grandpa and Grandma are here!"
Huang Tao patted her little head, smiling and pointing to his parents on one side: "Look."
Huang Yide and his wife were standing next to them, smiling. Seeing Xuanxuan's gaze shifting over, Song Cailian said lovingly, "Our Xuanxuan, small as she is, runs so fast Grandpa and Grandma couldn't keep up, our Xuanxuan must be a running champion in the future."
Beside her, Huang Yide nodded in agreement: "Indeed, those little legs, when running, are really fast, just like a girl as swift as the wind!"
"Grandpa and Grandma, when did you get here? How come I didn't notice?" Xuanxuan expressed her delight.
The little darling's eyes and heart were filled with Papa earlier, naturally, she couldn't care about them...
"Just got here!"
Huang Yide replied smilingly, looking at Huang Tao, "Son, did you sell everything early?"
He nodded, "Yes!"
"Everything sold this early? It seems today's business was quite good!"
The couple of Huang Yide, feeling surprised, were also thoroughly relieved.
It seems they were worried for nothing!
"It went okay, better than expected!"
Huang Tao said with a smile, "Let's go, head back to the shop first, and then we'll go out with Suqin and the others for dinner tonight to celebrate, okay?"
"Okay!"
Xuanxuan nodded eagerly.
Actually, she still preferred eating her dad's cooking.
But going out to eat meant she could play outside, which she naturally enjoyed too.
The Huang Yide couple had no objections either.
Their son won an award, it was indeed something worth celebrating.
Holding Xuanxuan, Huang Tao and his parents, all joking and laughing, headed towards West City Old Street.
Along the way, they met several parents and neighbors picking up their children from school, and when they saw him, they were slightly surprised.
Upon learning that he finished selling early, they praised his good business.
When they found out about Huang Tao winning the TOP10 Gold Award, and also winning "Most Popular Booth" and "Packaging King" awards, they congratulated him continuously.
Of course.
They were most concerned about whether Huang Tao's shop would be open tomorrow.
Upon learning that it would be and there'd be new items on the menu, they almost cried tears of joy.
They promised to come by tomorrow to try out the new dishes.
After bidding farewell to these neighbors, Huang Tao and his group returned to the Delicious Restaurant.
By this point, Ding Suqin and the employees had moved all the kitchenware back to the store and even started cleaning them.
"Thank you all for your hard work," Huang Tao expressed his gratitude.
"It's nothing, it's what we should do."
Huang Tao smiled, "What are we having for dinner tonight? Have you all thought about where to eat?"
Usually, when the boss treats everyone for a meal, people should cheer and chant for "a seafood feast" or "a fancy western restaurant."
However, they seemed disinterested.
Having been spoiled by Huang Tao's cooking, they didn't think outside food was as delicious.
Honestly, they preferred Huang Tao personally cooking West Lake Vinegar Fish at the shop for them.
Of course, they didn't want to decline their boss's kind intention.
But having not decided on what to eat, they merely responded casually.
"I'm fine with anything!"
"Doesn't matter!"
"Whatever!"
Huang Tao: "..."
He was a bit perplexed: "Outside restaurants don't have 'anything,' 'doesn't matter,' or 'whatever' on the menu!"
"Pfft~"
His remark made the employees laugh uncontrollably.
Huang Tao urged: "Stop laughing, this is your last chance, quickly decide what you want to eat!"
"Then let's seriously think about where to eat!"
"Yeah… Boss doesn't mind spending; he just won a 50,000-yuan bonus, we should let him pay up."
"True, we should go for a big meal."
Finally.
After some discussion, they decided.
They went to a high-rated and reasonably priced private kitchen restaurant.
Huang Tao thought they'd choose a five-star hotel or an upscale restaurant to give him a reason to spend a lot.
But surprisingly, they picked Su's Private Kitchen.
They're on track to save him money!
After tidying up the store, they set off together.
Before leaving, Huang Tao specially invited Jiang Guowei along.
But Jiang Guowei had to keep an eye on the shop and couldn't make it.
So Huang Tao had no choice but to give up, leading his family and employees, splitting into three cars, and heading to Su's Private Kitchen.
