Huang Tao led a group of people to Su's Private Kitchen.

They arrived fairly early.

But there were barely any seats left in the restaurant.

This business, one must say, was indeed booming.

Fortunately, they were lucky.

There was still a large round table for fifteen people in the dining hall, so they didn't have to find another place because of the lack of seats.

"This way, please…"

Led by the waiter, Huang Tao and the others arrived at their arranged seats and sat down.

A large round table with yellow lacquer patterns, a pale yellow lace tablecloth, and a large plastic decorative bouquet placed in the middle, with cups, dishes, bowls, and chopsticks neatly stacked.

The restaurant had central air conditioning, making the temperature comfortable.

"Sir, here is the menu, please take a look…"

The waiter deftly removed the remaining three sets of tableware, then smiled and thoughtfully handed a few menus to Huang Tao and his group.

Huang Tao smiled at the employees and said with a smile, "You guys, feel free to order whatever you like, don't be shy."

"Don't worry, Boss, we won't stand on ceremony with you."

Xu Hao and the others replied in unison, then laughed and whispered as they looked at the menu, selecting the dishes they liked.

"Dad, Mom, you choose what you like too."

Huang Tao handed one of the menus to his father, Huang Yide, and then looked at the menu with his precious daughter, "Xuanxuan, what do you want to eat?"

What Xuanxuan wanted to eat was naturally not the wide variety of dishes.

What she wanted to eat!

Was small cream cakes, chocolate snacks, ice cream, and other sweets, as well as various drinks and juices.

At home, things like ice cream and drinks, even in the hot summer, Dad rarely allowed her to have.

The reason was naturally... Eating too much is bad for a child's health and can upset their stomach.

But she hadn't eaten it in a long time and wanted to!

She turned her head to look at her dad and quietly asked, "Daddy, can I have this, this, this, and this?"

Watching Xuanxuan's small fingers skip lightly between desserts and drinks.

Huang Tao couldn't help but smile wryly.

This child, she's planning to treat desserts and drinks as her main meal!

But then he thought again!

It's rare to have a meal out, so let's indulge her a bit!

Besides, he was the one who asked his daughter what she wanted to eat, and now that she's said it, stopping her would hurt her feelings.

In the end, he nodded in agreement, letting the waiter take note.

Once everyone had ordered, he instructed the waiter to serve the dishes.

"Alright, just a moment!"

The waiter politely took the orders to the kitchen.

One has to say, the serving speed at Su's Private Kitchen is quite good.

From ordering to the kitchen bringing out the dishes, it only took about eight or nine minutes.

"Braised fish head, home-cooked green-red shrimp, old duck pot, steamed swimming crab, home-cooked small yellow croaker..."

The server announced each dish as it was served.

Huang Tao smiled and said to the employees, "Don't just stand there, let's dig in!"

"Alright! Let's eat..."

Everyone picked up their chopsticks.

Huang Tao served a bowl of old duck soup for each of his parents, then served some to Xuanxuan as well and put a few pieces of boneless duck meat into her bowl.

"It's a bit hot, blow on it before you eat!"

He reminded, seeing Xuanxuan still engrossed in her cake and drinks, he smiled and said, "You can have the cake and drinks after the meal!"

She had already drunk nearly half of the watermelon juice and had several bites of ice cream and cake, any more and she probably wouldn't be able to eat anything else.

"Oh~"

Xuanxuan mumbled in response, trying to swallow the cream cake in her mouth and taking a sip of watermelon juice.

She picked up a spoon and scooped up a duck wing, puffing her small pink lips and blowing on it.

Then she took a bite.

Chewing!

The stewed duck was tender and fresh.

Xuanxuan chewed a few times, her eyebrows curved, dimples shallow, thinking the taste was quite good.

But in her heart, she still felt that her dad's cooking was the best!

Huang Tao wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth with a wet towel and smiled, "What else do you want to eat? Daddy will get it for you."

Xuanxuan pointed to the plate of home-cooked small yellow croaker, "Fish~"

"Alright."

Huang Tao skillfully picked up some small yellow croaker, carefully removed the fish bones, and placed it in her bowl.

"Xuanxuan, whose cooking is better, your dad's or this restaurant's?" Lin Yuhan teased.

"I won't say, I won't say..."

She blinked her big, innocent eyes and glanced at the waitress not far away, then smiled at Lin Yuhan, "I can perform for you, but Yuhan, you can watch but can't touch me~"

"Okay, I won't mimic you..."

"First, this is dad's cooking, mm~ mm~"

Xuanxuan took a big spoonful of fish and put it in her mouth, closing her eyes in delight, "Dad's cooking is so delicious, I want another bowl."

"Ha ha~"

Everyone was amused by her little expressions.

"Next is this restaurant's cooking."

She took a small piece of the fish and put it in her mouth, smiling sweetly, "Mm mm, so delicious, I'm full!"

"Yuhan, now you know whose cooking is better..."

"I get it."

"Then explain!"

"I won't explain!"

Lin Yuhan couldn't help but sigh: Xuanxuan, this little one is impressive! Such high emotional intelligence, and quite talented in performance too!

Of course, in their hearts, while the food at this private kitchen was also good, it was still a bit inferior to their own boss Huang's culinary skills.

After tasting, Huang Tao only found it okay.

Mainly because his palate had been refined by the system, making it more sensitive than the average person's.

For instance, the homemade small yellow croaker was very cleanly prepared, but it had a slight fishy smell.

This small yellow croaker, with the scent of the sea, was fresh enough to speak for itself.

But the cooking was a bit off, the texture was a little tough, and too much soy sauce was used, making it salty and affecting the overall taste.

At this point.

The man diagonally across from Huang Tao, wearing a thick gold chain, spat out the food onto his plate and cursed:

"The food at this private kitchen has no flavor, not good at all. I really can't understand how it got such a high rating online, was it faked?"

"Waiter, call your manager for me..."

The waiter approached quickly and timidly said, "Sir, if there's anything, I can help you solve it."

"Fine! Then you help me solve it."

The man with the thick gold chain pointed at the food on the table and questioned, "Your food has no taste at all, it's terrible! Tell me, how do you solve this?"

"That's impossible..." The waiter had a bewildered expression.

The other diners were shocked, whispering among themselves.

"Is it really that bad?"

"I think the taste is quite good!"

"Could it be that we're not eating at the same place?"

Huang Tao and the others also looked puzzled.

Though the food at this private kitchen was average, it was not to the point of being inedible!

Huang Tao thought this person's comments were a bit exaggerated.

The man with the thick gold chain retorted, "What's impossible, can't I tell if it's good or not? I tell you, I had spicy hot pot for lunch, it was amazing, unlike your shop, with no flavor and very unappetizing."

Upon hearing this, Huang Tao understood.

He asked with a smile: "Sir, are you someone who can't do without spicy food?"

"That's right!"

"Pardon me for saying, but you might have eaten too much spicy food, affecting your taste."

"What? Too much spicy food affects taste? Really?" The man with the thick gold chain looked incredulous.

Seeing Huang Tao say this, other customers chimed in.

"Honestly, we think the private kitchen food tastes quite good, maybe your taste is the issue."

"Indeed! The taste is fine, not as bad as you say. Could it really be, as this gentleman said, that you've eaten too much spicy food and it's affected your taste?"

"..."

Seeing the other diners saying this, the man with the thick gold chain began to doubt.

Lately, aside from spicy foods, everything else he ate seemed bland.

Could it really be his sense of taste having issues?

"Do you have a way to restore my taste?"

"Try a glass of soda water with two spoons of salt."

The man with the thick gold chain turned to the waitress and asked, "Do you have soda water and salt here?"

"Yes!"

"Then give me a glass as he suggested."

"Sure, one moment please."

The waitress gave Huang Tao a grateful look and hurried to prepare.

Soon, she brought over a glass of soda with two spoons of salt.

The man with the thick gold chain used the soda-salt mixture to rinse his mouth.

Suspicious, he sat down again and tasted the duck meat once more.

"Huh?"

This taste...

Was indeed different from before.

"No way..."

He was shocked and self-deceptively tasted the other dishes on the table.

The final conclusion was... it really was his taste that had the problem, not the food.

Never thought this handsome guy had a few tricks up his sleeve!

"Buddy, thanks..."

"You're welcome!"

Huang Tao smiled and sat back down.

Lin Yuhan and the others all had expressions of "I don't quite get it, but I'm very impressed".

The other diners and the waitress looked at Huang Tao with eyes full of admiration and appreciation.

After getting a clear look at Huang Tao, he seemed somewhat familiar.

Of course, some customers recognized him.

"Hey, he looks like that guy from the food festival who was giving live lessons, named Huang Tao, known as Boss Huang..."

"So it is him! No wonder he knows these things!"

"This Boss Huang is someone worth knowing, really steps up in a pinch!"

"..."

The other diners were quietly chatting and looked at Huang Tao respectfully, without disturbing him and his group as they dined.

Soon, hearing about the incident, the owner of the private kitchen came over to Huang Tao's table to express his gratitude.
