Around 6 o'clock.
A man parked his car and dashed toward the queue at the entrance of Delicious Restaurant.
The wide black coat was flared out by the wind from his run, making him feel like a big bird about to take flight.
This man was Jiang Han.
Like other office workers, he worked until 5:30 today.
But in order to have a taste of the Dongpo Pork at Delicious Restaurant tonight.
So...
In the afternoon, he placed an order on a website to hire someone to queue for him,
asking the person to line up at Delicious Restaurant around 5 in the evening.
Then.
As soon as he got off work, he drove over at top speed.
Now, he ran to the side of the hired helper, panting and chuckling, "Thanks a lot! I already transferred the money to you~"
"Oh, I got it."
The helper saw his employer had arrived, smiled broadly, and gave up his spot in line to Jiang Han: "This spot is yours now!"
By just helping out with an hour-long queue, he quickly earned a 150 yuan fee.
Not a loss at all!
Made a profit!
Before leaving, the helper didn't forget to promote his services: "If you need someone to queue for you in the future, you can contact me directly on WeChat. I guarantee to be there anytime."
"Hey, okay."
Jiang Han nodded in response.
After all, problems that can be solved with money are not really problems!
Their conversation reached the ears of nearby customers in line, leaving them shocked, and inside, they thought, damn, this kind of operation is possible? It's something they never thought of!
Of course, while they marveled at this clever move, they also thought it was pretty cool!
Especially those customers arriving late due to work who watched this scene, some had an 'epiphany' expression, and some showed an expression of 'learned something new.'
In short, this scene gave them a great inspiration.
Each of them thought: this is a good idea, if I can't come early to queue, I should do the same, hire someone to help queue.
Yang Xiabing was no exception, she had the same thought.
As she hadn't reached the front yet, she stretched her sore calves and looked around out of boredom, only to suddenly notice several noticeable kangaroo ears in the queue.
Upon closer inspection...
It turned out they were a few Meituan delivery couriers wearing yellow vests and kangaroo ears hats…
"Could it be that Boss Huang's restaurant has started a delivery service? I haven't heard about it!"
She muttered in confusion.
On second thought, it shouldn't be!
If they offered delivery service, the couriers should go inside to pick up the order directly, not queue outside with everyone!
Besides, her good friend Lin Manli had interviewed Boss Huang in the morning.
It's impossible not to have asked about delivery, such an important matter.
And when her friend brought her some stewed food at noon, she even mentioned the new Dongpo Pork, but didn't bring up anything about delivery, which shows that Delicious Restaurant hasn't started any delivery service at all.
So now the appearance of these delivery couriers could only mean they were entrusted by someone else to fulfill their part.
After all, it's normal to have hired queuers and hired buyers.
"Sweetie, stop looking. It's our turn, your dad already went to order, let's find a seat to wait for him."
Ding Shujuan lightly patted her on the shoulder and reminded her.
"Oh, oh~"
She nodded and followed her mom to find a vacant seat.
Fortunately, there weren't many people dining in the restaurant, and since everyone eats quickly, finishing and leaving fast, an empty table became available soon.
But what caught their curiosity was this.
After finishing their meal, customers actually tidied up their tables by themselves, even placing the dishes and chopsticks near the dishwasher.
The behavior of customers in this restaurant is really peculiar!
Ding Shujuan, not understanding, asked: "Why do you all clean up your dishes after eating?"
"The reason we do this is purely to spare Boss Huang and his team some trivial chores, so they can process more ingredients and prepare more delicious food."
The neighbors who had finished eating answered with a smile and didn't forget to remind: "You must be from elsewhere, after you finish eating, remember to tidy up the table~"
Ding Shujuan found it strange, unable to relate.
Where else would customers clean up after themselves just so the owner and staff have less to do?
But Yang Xiabing, having tasted Huang Tao's culinary skills, understood the actions of the locals.
Indeed.
After all, someone with culinary skills like Boss Huang shouldn't waste time on trivial chores!
Only after everyone finishes all the miscellaneous tasks, can Boss Huang cook better food.
At this moment, Lin Zifeng brought over the dishes Yang Jiaqing ordered.
Yang Jiaqing also helped carry them.
Dongpo Pork, Roast Duck, Crab Fried Cake, Fish Ball Soup, and so on — order after order.
Except for the roast duck, everything else was ordered in three servings.
Once all the dishes were on the table.
Ding Shujuan looked at the table crowded with dishes, surprised: "Wow, hubby, why did you order so much! There are only three of us, we can't finish it all!"
Yang Jiaqing chuckled: "It's alright, if we can't finish it, I'll eat the rest."
"If we don't finish, there's me too!"
Yang Xiabing chimed in: "Mom, try it quickly, I guarantee once you take the first bite, you'll stop your fussing."
"Your mom has tasted all sorts of delicacies in this lifetime! There's never been something that made me unable to stop eating."
Ding Shujuan smiled, unconcerned.
Yang Xiabing didn't bother to say much more, once they ate, her mom would naturally understand why she said that.
Ding Shujuan wanted to say more, but her nose twitched, and the aroma slipped in unannounced.
So she said nothing more, picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of Dongpo Pork.
Under the light, this Dongpo Pork is an enticing jujube-red color, shiny with oil.
After taking a bite, her eyes widened instinctively!
Her mind was left with just one phrase: worth the trip.
How could someone cook a dish so delicious!
The meat absorbed the broth fully, and in the mouth, it had absolutely no trace of gamey taste, only a rich meat aroma.
With one bite, fatty but not greasy, fragrant with a hint of sweetness, tender and soft, it danced around the mouth.
The texture of the Dongpo Pork truly shocked Ding Shujuan, and quickly dispelled the fatigue from her flight.
She has had a lot of Dongpo Pork before but never been so easily captivated by one bite.
The Dongpo Pork quivered when picked up, bright red, entering the mouth, it feels extremely fragrant, yet tender, soft, smooth, not sticking to the teeth at all.
Clearly intact when picked up, unexpectedly so tender once in the mouth.
"Isn't it super delicious?"
Yang Xiabing saw her mom's reaction and knew this piece of Dongpo Pork had thoroughly conquered her mom's stomach.
Ding Shujuan couldn't stop nodding, busy chewing and unable to reply.
Having just swallowed, Yang Jiaqing spoke on his wife's behalf: "This Dongpo Pork is much tastier than any we've had before! The seasoning is particularly rich, flavored perfectly, tender but holds its shape, fragrant and soft yet not greasy."
"Too delicious."
The waiting customers nearby heard their conversation and couldn't help but swallow.
The scents wafting in the air were torturous!
Even a stomach that wasn't very hungry would develop an appetite after smelling this alluring aroma.
Let alone watching them eat so appetizingly, anyone would find it irresistible!
Yang Xiabing's family had oily mouths full from eating, their hands moving without delay.
Afraid of eating too little.
Not long after, the dishes on the table were almost all gone.
"Boss's culinary skills are truly outstanding!"
Ding Shujuan really couldn't eat anymore, put down her bowl, rubbed her slightly overstuffed stomach with satisfaction.
She hadn't eaten Huang Tao's cooking before and thought her daughter's words were exaggerated until now after tasting it, realizing it was not exaggerated at all.
Truly, just one bite makes you keep eating!
Having eaten to her heart's content, Yang Xiabing even felt like standing up to express joy in a little dance.
Satisfied, Yang Jiaqing voiced a long-held idea: "Wife, what do you think if we open a shop like this in our newly acquired business space, how about the business?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Shujuan's eyes lit up: "I think it would work!"
Yang Xiabing nodded, feeling her dad's idea was good.
Yang Jiaqing glanced around the busy shop and thought it wasn't the place to discuss business.
He thought for a moment and said: "Why don't we take a walk around West City Old Street first and come back later!"
"Alright!"
Before leaving, Ding Shujuan tidied up the table spotlessly.
She also asked Yang Jiaqing to take the dishes to the dishwasher.
Leaving Yang Jiaqing puzzled: "Why?"
Ding Shujuan explained: "If we clean up, Boss Huang will have fewer chores and can cook more delicious food."
"Right! How didn't I think of that? Wife, you're thoughtful."
Upon understanding, Yang Jiaqing quickly complied.
