Overnight.
Wenling City transitioned from late autumn into winter all of a sudden.
The temperature dropped by more than ten degrees.
People on the streets had all switched to thick winter clothes.
Even some girls who usually loved to look good had wrapped themselves up tightly.
Of course.
There were still a few fashion-conscious women who refused to compromise with the cold and continued wearing black stockings and short skirts.
Huang Tao was quite relieved that he had prepared thermal underwear and down jackets for Xuanxuan the day before.
This way.
No worries!
Xuanxuan, fully equipped, hid in the warm shelter of the electric scooter, would not feel cold at all.
It was just a bit hard on Huang Tao, who still had to brave the cold wind head-on.
Xuanxuan looked at him with concern, asking, "Daddy, are you cold?"
His heart felt a little warm, and he replied with a smile, "I'm fine!"
"Hmm, it'd be great if our family had a car."
She blinked her big eyes, looking at the passing vehicles on the road through a transparent cover, with a touch of longing in her eyes, "That way, Daddy, you wouldn't be afraid of the cold."
Huang Tao was a bit surprised.
This little girl always thought of more things than he imagined!
In fact, buying a car for commuting was financially feasible.
He had been browsing online for pure electric SUVs priced at over 200,000 yuan recently when he was free.
After considering and comparing various options, he chose the BYD Song PLUS pure electric flagship model.
188,800 yuan!
No purchase tax was required for electric cars, but with insurance, commercial insurance, and license fees, it would be between 190,000 and 200,000 yuan.
A very standard electric car.
But it met Huang Tao's requirements.
It had large space and good safety.
Driving it daily wouldn't be embarrassing.
Even if it got a few scratches, he wouldn't feel too bad.
The key point was that it was available immediately.
Last night, he had made an appointment with a local 4S store for a test drive at two o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday.
He chose Saturday because he felt that buying a car was such an important thing, his darling daughter and parents should all participate!
He wanted them to witness this joy together!
He smiled slightly, "In a few days! When you have a holiday at home this Saturday, Daddy will take you to the 4S store to see the car, okay?"
"Yay!"
Xuanxuan was full of excitement, "We'll be warm and cool from now on!"
"Daddy, in the future, will you be able to take me out for a ride in the new car?"
"Sure! We can take Grandpa and Grandma along, okay?"
"Okay!"
While chatting.
The father and daughter arrived at the store entrance.
They saw quite a few customers already queued up, wearing thick pajamas or wrapped in heavy coats.
Initially, he thought the sudden temperature drop would affect the morning's business.
Unexpectedly, even with the cold coming, it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the customers!
In such cold weather, so many people lining up, it wouldn't be good if they caught a cold!
He sighed that the shop was too small to accommodate so many people.
Otherwise, they could wait inside the store.
Holding Xuanxuan, he quickened his pace into the shop, saying, "It's a bit cold today! Why not go under the eaves for shelter from the wind? It wouldn't be good to catch a cold."
"It's okay, I'm wearing plenty of clothes and not afraid of the cold."
"Yeah! I'm not afraid of the cold either, even if I catch a cold, it's nothing a cold medicine can't fix."
It seemed they were afraid of losing their place once they left!
Huang Tao thought of whether to buy a self-service ordering system?
This way, customers could order, get a number, and pick up their meals semi-automatically. It would be much more convenient.
And they wouldn't have to worry about others taking their spot.
He would think about it when he had time.
He smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, I'm just starting. We have a new stuffing Sheng Jian Bao this morning!"
As he spoke.
He wrote a new shrimp and pork Sheng Jian Bao on the digital blackboard.
Shrimp and pork Sheng Jian Bao: 5 yuan each.
The eyes of the customers in line lit up with excitement, feeling that braving the cold to queue up was completely worth it, even a bargain.
They were all looking forward to the shrimp and pork Sheng Jian Bao.
Once inside the shop, Huang Tao didn't waste a moment.
After washing his hands, he began to prepare the filling.
He mixed the minced meat from Xu Hao and Lin Zifeng with sugar, salt, soy sauce, and other seasonings, stirring clockwise until well-blended, then poured in onion and ginger water.
Elastic and tender light pink shrimp laid out in a row under his nimble fingers on the counter!
Watching the increasingly skillful movements of their boss making Sheng Jian Bao, Xu Hao and Lin Zifeng were completely impressed, acknowledging the vast difference between chefs!
One by one, the Sheng Jian Bao were placed into the frying pan by Huang Tao.
A moment later.
When he lifted the lid…
Steam rushed up carrying an enticing aroma. The pan was filled to the brim with white, round Sheng Jian, sizzling in the dark pan.
Vibrant green scallions sprinkled lightly on top.
The appearance and aroma preceded the taste, capturing the diners' appetites.
The customers outside, smelling the mixed aromas of oil, flour, and scallion drifting out, couldn't resist!
Although their cravings were strong, they still entered the shop in an orderly fashion.
They started ordering.
"Give me 10 shrimp and pork Sheng Jian Bao, two bowls of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, to go."
"20 shrimp and pork Sheng Jian Bao, 10 three-flavor vegetable Sheng Jian Bao, six bowls of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, to take away."
Ding Suqin skillfully packed and collected payments.
Having paid, the customers who got their shrimp and pork Sheng Jian Bao couldn't wait to open the package.
Golden and crispy at the bottom, the dough soft and chewy, with juicy, tender shrimp and pork filling.
They couldn't care less if it scalded their mouths.
In a hurry, they took a big bite…
The flavors of the meat, shrimp, wheat, oil, and scallion all burst forth in their mouths.
The juice filled their entire mouths, savory and not greasy!
Their eyes lit up in delight as they expressed their satisfied amazement.
"Oh my, such a big bite, I'm so satisfied! Even the fatigue from staying up late last night watching the game vanished instantly…"
"Soft, sticky, springy, and crunchy, so many textures in one bite!"
"Mm, so fragrant, so delicious, I tell you, the shrimp used in this Sheng Jian Bao is fresh, you all must try it! Otherwise, you'll regret it for life!"
"Wow… This Sheng Jian Bao has two big shrimps inside each one! It tastes so sweet and fresh, and not just the shrimps, the whole Sheng Jian Bao has a subtle sweet shrimp flavor. It's so fresh, it almost knocked my eyebrows off."
"As expected from Boss Huang, everything he makes is so delicious!"
"The shrimp and pork Sheng Jian Bao is amazing, Boss Huang is amazing!"
"Delicious, amazing!"
The customers further back in line, hearing this, became even more interested.
Seeing the customers in front order dozens of shrimp and pork Sheng Jian Bao, fearing they'd be gone by the time it was their turn.
They quickly called out, "Hey, those in front, have mercy, don't order so many at once, leave some for us at the back…"
Ding Suqin reassured them, "Everyone, don't worry! We prepared plenty of shrimp and pork Sheng Jian Bao today, you should be able to buy some~"
Hearing this, the customers in the back relaxed.
Xuanxuan now was also enjoying the shrimp and pork Sheng Jian Bao and preserved egg and lean meat porridge that Daddy specifically asked Zifeng to bring over.
"Phoo phoo~"
She puckered her little mouth, blowing on the shrimp and pork Sheng Jian Bao.
Once it cooled down a bit, she carefully took a bite.
The dough was soft, the bottom crispy, the flesh aromatic, the juice rich, the shrimp fresh.
Delicious~
