Zhou Hong and Hong Rui were grateful that before leaving, they specifically checked the lunar calendar, which led to the goddess of luck smiling upon them, allowing them to buy not only the much-desired Dongpo Pork but also all the other dishes without missing a single one.

At this moment.

The two of them returned to the office with several food bags in their hands.

Instantly.

All the colleagues swiftly gathered around to pick up their meals.

Lin Zhibo lightly patted them on the arms and thanked them, "Zhou Hong, Hong Rui, thank you so much for your hard work."

"Thank you for braving the cold to get us food, much appreciated!"

While expressing their gratitude, the other colleagues wasted no time opening their packed meal containers.

Several colleagues who ordered Yellow Croaker Noodles couldn't wait to pour the fragrant yellow croaker soup into the noodles, overwhelmed by the aroma wafting from the containers.

In the milky white thick broth, golden yellow fish pieces shimmered, while the crispy skin revealed snow-white, tender fish meat. A few snow vegetables and green onions floated around...

The fragrance spread everywhere!

"Oh my gosh, I suddenly regret not choosing the Yellow Croaker Noodles. It looks so good," said a colleague, smelling the aroma.

Another colleague who didn't order the Yellow Croaker Noodles nodded in agreement, "Indeed! The fish in the noodles looks so tender, and the broth is so creamy and white, completely different from previous takeouts, without that unpleasant fishy smell!"

A third colleague, who also didn't order the Yellow Croaker Noodles, hesitated for a moment and said stubbornly, "Although the Yellow Croaker Noodles smell good and look nice, they're probably still a bit inferior to the Crab Sticky Rice Cake, which is the best!"

Anyway.

Whatever you choose, it's all delicious.

After all, it was made by Boss Huang from the Delicious Restaurant!

If it were anyone else, he probably would've eaten it with tears in his eyes!

Of course, the only thing on their minds now is: tonight, they must have those Yellow Croaker Noodles!

Seeing the presentation of the Yellow Croaker Noodles, Zhou Hong and others knew they made the right choice this time.

He smiled and said, "I'm telling you, you can always trust Boss Huang's skills. Whenever there's a new dish, we try it, and it'll never go wrong."

"Indeed, anything made by Boss Huang is guaranteed to be delicious!"

With that, Lin Zhibo eagerly scooped a spoonful of the yellow croaker soup and took a sip, letting out a satisfied sigh, "So fresh..."

Then ate quietly.

Even the sound of his teeth clashing against the tender fish was muted by his closed mouth.

Of course.

At a crucial time, Hu Jinlin, their leader, couldn't be left out.

So...

Everyone unanimously chose Hong Rui to deliver the manager's portion to the manager's office.

Hu Jinlin looked at the three packed meal boxes in front of him.

Through the lids, one could vaguely see the appetizing and layered Dongpo Pork, huge crabs, and plump sticky rice cakes intertwined with fish meat bobbing in the nourishing fish soup.

He tilted his head, looking through the floor-to-ceiling glass at the big office outside.

Everyone was eating with concentration and a joyful look on their faces.

Occasionally, he could hear their exclamations of "delicious," "so fresh," and "this freshness could knock off my eyebrows."

He smiled and opened the lids of the Crab Sticky Rice Cake and Dongpo Pork boxes first.

Instantly, a rich aroma mixed with a tempting smell of crab and sauce wafted over.

With the packing lid gone, the Dongpo Pork, Crab Sticky Rice Cake, and nourishing fish soup inside the container had a more visually striking impact.

It awakened the gluttonous craving dormant within him for so long.

Outside, when the subordinates talked about the Delicious Restaurant's food, their eyes sparkled with joy, the same way they gleamed with pride after successfully completing a new project.

At this moment, he no longer doubted whether the food from the Delicious Restaurant was good.

He picked up the disposable chopsticks from the bag, split them open, picked up that piece of Dongpo Pork glistening like agate, and took a bite.

The aroma of meat, sweetness, and the sauce was so rich it could be tangible, yet it also seemed to overflow.

The fragrance penetrated the senses, and the taste was smooth as cream.

It was a different kind of culinary feast on his tongue.

He couldn't help but stuff the remaining Dongpo Pork into his mouth and chew heartily.

It truly made one exclaim, what a delightful meal!

Then he reached with his chopsticks towards the Crab Sticky Rice Cake and continued eating.

The sticky rice cake was soft and chewy, with the crab meat inside particularly full and flavorful.

Before he realized it.

He had finished an entire bowl of Crab Sticky Rice Cake.

He looked toward the bowl of nourishing fish soup on the table.

Generally, fish soups have a slight fishy smell, needing lots of MSG to enhance the freshness.

But perhaps the flavors of the Dongpo Pork and Crab Sticky Rice Cake were so delicious that he now had a hint of expectation for the fish soup.

Mainly because the Crab Sticky Rice Cake was rather salty and savory, and after eating a lot of sticky rice cake, it was easy to feel thirsty, and the soup could quench that thirst.

So he tried a sip of the nourishing fish soup, and surprisingly, it lacked that unbearable fishy smell and was exceptionally fresh.

He brought the nourishing fish soup closer and saw the milky white soup topped with green onions, like green lotus leaves floating in a white jade pool, making him exclaim at its visual appeal.

Gently stirring the thick soup with a spoon, the thin fish meat danced along with the motion.

"There seems to be a lot of fish in here!"

The nourishing fish soup was no longer piping hot, just at the right temperature.

Upon tasting, he sensed the beautifully fresh flavor of the fish soup and the tender fish, and what was truly commendable was that this freshness came from the fish itself rather than from heaps of MSG, and there wasn't a trace of fishy smell.

All in all.

It was incredibly fresh!

Far better than most fish soups in restaurants!

Hu Jinlin drank it sip by sip, finishing not only the fish but also every drop of the soup.

His stomach was delightfully full!

...

At the Delicious Restaurant.

Huang Tao was quite pleased to see the Yellow Croaker Noodles being so popular.

All afternoon, he was swamped preparing Yellow Croaker Rice Noodles and Yellow Croaker Wheat Noodles.

Happily busy.

No way around it!

The customers always crave the new over the old. As soon as they heard the new Yellow Croaker Noodles were on the menu today, they immediately changed their minds.

Crab Sticky Rice Cake and Lotus Leaf Glutinous Rice Spareribs were ruthlessly abandoned.

Take Lin Jiahui, for instance, representing the bank. When she came to get a takeaway and heard about the new Yellow Croaker Noodles, she got all indecisive.

Are the Yellow Croaker Noodles tastier, or is it the Crab Sticky Rice Cake?

She initially intended to get the Dongpo Pork and Crab Sticky Rice Cake, but the Yellow Croaker Noodles piqued her interest.

Given Boss Huang's skills, it might be delicious too!

So...

She changed her mind and decided to try something new.

If it wasn't good, she'd just eat a little less.

Think of it as dieting.

If it were delicious, she could switch between Yellow Croaker Rice and Wheat Noodles in the future.

Then, when she announced the new dishes in the group chat, Ling and the other two immediately changed their minds as well.

The choice was between Yellow Croaker Rice or Wheat Noodles.

Situations like these, changing their minds on a whim, were common.

Thankfully, Huang Tao anticipated this happening.

He made sure to prepare extra Yellow Croaker Noodles, while other dishes, except Dongpo Pork, were prepared in smaller quantities than usual.

However, something puzzled him...

Many delivery drivers in yellow vests and kangaroo-eared hats lined up during lunch.

But some of them, upon hearing that Dongpo Pork had sold out, left without buying anything.

It made him completely baffled.

He even wondered if someone was scheming behind the scenes to deliberately cause trouble?

But after thinking it over, he might have been overthinking it.

Perhaps they were merely fixated on Dongpo Pork and uninterested in anything else.
