Every time Delicious Restaurant introduces a new dish, it always attracts enthusiastic attention from the customers.

Besides enjoying delicious food,

deep down, there's also a trend of going with the crowd.

Everyone's gotten used to needing to try the new dishes as soon as they're available.

You could say it's the instinct of a food lover!

And indeed!

All the customers ordering in the restaurant must order a serving of Dongpo Pork.

This has led the newly introduced Dongpo Pork to become a dish with a 100% order rate in the restaurant.

It's extremely popular!

Many customers dining in the restaurant are utterly satisfied with every bite.

"Wow, wow, wow, this Dongpo Pork is so tender, and the skin is really soft, it's amazing!"

"Yeah, this Dongpo Pork is braised to perfection, it's so fragrant! Just a gentle pinch with the chopsticks and it falls apart, take a gentle bite and the lean meat crumbles without being dry, the fatty part is soft but not greasy, the taste is just, ah… heavenly!"

"Isn't it! This Dongpo Pork is so tender, fluffy, soft, and melts in the mouth, doesn't challenge your teeth at all, it's even better than the Dongpo Pork we had during New Year's dinner at the hotel! Only at Boss Huang's can I eat dishes that are delicious, satisfying, and easy on the teeth!"

"I think the best part is, this Dongpo Pork is soft, glutinous, and delicious without any greasiness, it's really refreshing!"

"..."

Customers dining in the restaurant, savoring Dongpo Pork, munching on braised snacks, and adding a bowl of Fish Ball Soup and crab stir-fried rice cakes, it's a delight!

Now it's Professor Wei's turn to order.

When he found out that today's new dish was Dongpo Pork, he excitedly said, "Boss Huang's new introduction this time is really something extraordinary! This Dongpo Pork looks quite good, hold on a moment, I'll send a message to the group."

Saying this, he took out his phone and snapped a picture of the Dongpo Pork.

He sent it to the group chat named: So Delicious Food Squad.

Old Wei: Come quick! Delicious Restaurant has launched Dongpo Pork at noon, 28 yuan per serving, respond with 2 if you want it!

The message immediately received responses.

Old Sun: 2222, and add a serving of lotus leaves sticky rice steamed ribs.

Old Xu: I would rush over if I could, but I'm still in class and can't leave! Please bring me a serving, same as Old Sun.

Old Chen: We're very confident in Delicious Restaurant's Dongpo Pork! We know it'll be delicious even without trying! Old Wei, bring me a serving of Dongpo Pork and crab stir-fried rice cakes, thanks!

Old Xue: That's great! Old Wei, they really have new dishes today at lunch! Then please bring me Dongpo Pork, Fish Ball Soup, and a serving of lotus leaves sticky rice steamed ribs!

When Li Zhicheng saw Old Wei calling for help in the group chat to buy on behalf,

he hurriedly responded too, to avoid missing this rare opportunity.

Old Li: Old Wei, bring me a serving too, same as Old Xue.

Old Wei: Alright, wait for me! I'll be back soon!

"Give me 6 servings of Dongpo Pork, 5 servings of lotus leaves sticky rice steamed ribs, 3 servings of Fish Ball Soup, and one crab stir-fried rice cakes, please package them."

Professor Wei quickly paid after placing the order and waited aside to pick up the food.

The people queuing behind saw him ordering so many servings of Dongpo Pork at once.

They were quite worried at heart.

Worried that he might buy them all up.

If that were the case, there'd be none left by the time it was their turn.

But since he ordered so many servings at once, they couldn't say anything and could only silently pray in their hearts, hoping they'd still be able to buy some.

The others in line had the same thought.

Huang Tao was quick at stir-frying crab rice cakes.

With Ding Suqin's improving packaging speed,

there wasn't much delay, and Professor Wei soon left, carrying the large food bags filled with take-out containers, hurrying back briskly.

"Everyone, I'm back."

Professor Wei announced as he entered the office, large food bags in each hand, placing them all on Li Zhicheng's desk, which was closest to the door.

They started splitting the food.

"Old Wei, much appreciated~"

Seeing this, Li Zhicheng, along with the other professors without classes, gratefully thanked Old Wei.

Then they each took their share.

Returning to their offices, they first dug into the Dongpo Pork.

Only heaven knows how enticing that reddish tender meat and alluring aroma are.

"Mm, delicious! This Dongpo Pork is so tender!"

Professor Sun couldn't help but praise after tasting a bite.

Old Xue at the desk in front, chewing joyfully, didn't even turn his head as he added, "It certainly is blissful to eat! It's delicious without being greasy, much better than the Dongpo Pork sold at those big hotels outside."

"In the past, I ordered Dongpo Pork a few times at hotels, they were too greasy and fatty, after that, I never ordered this dish again. If I hadn't seen the picture Old Wei posted earlier that tempted me, if this wasn't Dongpo Pork made by Boss Huang, I wouldn't have dared to try again."

Professor Xu at the adjacent table continued, suppressing a small proud grin, "However, I'm glad I did try it, this Dongpo Pork is mesmerizing, not greasy, and melts in your mouth, incredibly delicious! Old Li, your student's Dongpo Pork is extraordinary, it's changed my views on this dish!"

"Indeed, Old Li's student's culinary skills are very impressive! Once again, they've successfully won over my stomach." Old Chen nodded in agreement.

"Of course, who else could have such a talented student?"

Seeing the professors' reactions and hearing their praises for Huang Tao, Li Zhicheng felt even prouder and more triumphant.

He almost wanted to have it written across his forehead.

He, Li Zhicheng, is the teacher of Boss Huang~

The other professors: "..."

Old Li, you really know how to toot your own horn~

But to be fair.

He does have the right to boast, having trained such a skilled culinary student!

Unbeknownst to Huang Tao, the praises were pouring in.

He was still immersed in the busy cooking!

Because nearly every customer ordered a serving of Dongpo Pork, they sold out quickly.

The customers still in line all showed signs of disappointment.

Especially those from other streets who had come after hearing about the food festival, they felt even more let down.

Initially upon hearing about the new Dongpo Pork, they felt lucky and anticipated a great meal.

Who would've thought, all their enthusiasm eventually went to waste.

Fortunately, the restaurant still had other delicacies, getting a bite was something, though missing the Dongpo Pork left a small regret in their hearts.

No other choice!

They could only return earlier in the evening to make their purchase.

As they left with their food, they silently convinced themselves.

Most people still preferred to take their meal to-go, with only a few opting to dine in.

...

Elsewhere.

Lin Manli didn't return to the magazine office with Liu and Mei.

Instead, she drove straight over to her good friend Yang Xiabing's home.

Bringing Yang Xiabing's most-needed braised snacks, personally delivering them.

Yang Xiabing ran to open the door eagerly, "Did you get them?"

"Your braised snacks." Lin Manli waved the take-out box in hand.

"Thank you, Manli, I knew you were the best!"

Yang Xiabing was extremely excited, giving Lin Manli a big hug and puckering her lips to give her a kiss.

But Lin Manli stretched out a hand to stop her.

"Alright, alright, I've delivered the goods, I need to get back to the magazine office."

"Did the shoot go well today?"

"It went smoothly! Boss Huang even prepared a new dish!"

"What new dish?"

"Dongpo Pork!"

Seeing her friend's joyful expression, Yang Xiabing knew that this Dongpo Pork must be incredibly delicious!

After all, until now, there's been nothing Boss Huang has cooked that wasn't tasty...

Speaking of which.

If I drive over now, can I still buy some?
