After school, Huang Tao was the first to pick up Xuanxuan.

They arrived at the shop.

She reached out and touched Mimi, who was lazily curled up like a doughnut, squinting. Tilting her little head, she gave a sweet smile, "Mimi, did you miss me?"

"Meow~"

Mimi opened her tiny mouth wide, yawning and letting out a disgruntled cry, as if to say: Seriously, who dares disturb this cat's sweet dreams? Looking to get smacked!

Then...

Upon recognizing her little master Xuanxuan's childlike face, Mimi immediately deflated—forget it, she wouldn't bicker with her little master.

No choice but to let it be!

Whether it would eat well tonight or just get scraps depended entirely on its little master's whim, so Mimi naturally dared not act up and had to curry favor.

Allowing Xuanxuan to pet her!

Mimi yawned contentedly and squinted her eyes.

Xuanxuan petted her a couple of times and then lost interest.

She then happily skipped to the corner area, picked up her beloved Barbie doll.

"Xuanxuan, should Daddy make you a bowl of Yellow Croaker Noodles?"

After chatting with some customers queuing outside the store, Huang Tao entered to find his beloved daughter sitting in her special seat, busy dressing up her Barbie doll!

He approached her, smiling, and said, "Xuanxuan, should Daddy make you a bowl of Yellow Croaker Noodles?"

She raised her little head, her beautiful big eyes twinkling, and asked, "Daddy, is there Dongpo Pork?"

The little one was craving Dongpo Pork!

He chuckled, "There is, but it's not ready to eat yet."

"Oh, oh~"

She nodded like a little chick pecking at rice, but the sparkle in her eyes dimmed, and she instinctively said, "Daddy, my tummy isn't hungry right now!"

Just wait a bit, and you won't be saying your tummy isn't hungry!

Thinking this confidently, he headed into the kitchen to cook Yellow Croaker Noodles for his precious daughter.

He even added extra ingredients, frying an additional egg.

After a while.

A freshly cooked bowl of Yellow Croaker Noodles was brought out by Huang Tao from the kitchen.

Huang Tao came over...

"Hmm? Smells so good..."

The little girl's attention immediately shifted from her Barbie doll.

Her cute little nose couldn't help but sniff, and she turned her head to see her dad carrying a large bowl toward her.

She immediately knew this unique aroma was coming from the bowl her dad was carrying.

Her chubby little hand pointed at the bowl of Yellow Croaker Noodles in Huang Tao's hand and said, "Daddy, I want to eat this!"

"Okay!"

Huang Tao smiled and placed the Yellow Croaker Noodles in front of her, saying, "But, you need to wash your hands first!"

Xuanxuan nodded obediently, placed her Barbie doll on the chair beside her, and ran off to wash her hands with her little legs rapidly stepping, then quickly returned to her seat, sitting obediently.

Looking down at the bowl filled with golden eggs, tender white slices of Yellow Croaker, green scallions, and yellow pickled vegetables...

She couldn't help but stick out her little tongue to lick the corner of her lips.

With a look that made anyone's mouth water!

"Go ahead and eat!"

Seeing her expression, Huang Tao couldn't help but laugh softly, gently rubbing her little head and warmly reminding, "Be careful, it's hot!"

"I know~!"

She nodded vigorously, skillfully picking up a piece of Yellow Croaker with her little chopsticks and blew on it with her pouted lips.

Then she stuffed it into her mouth with an "owu," one bite after another, filling her little mouth full, and then she chewed like a little mole with puffed cheeks.

Stars seemed to twinkle in her eyes.

Watching her little expression, Huang Tao couldn't help but smile happily.

He took a soft napkin, wiping her little mouth as he said, "Xuanxuan, eat slowly; there's plenty more in the kitchen!"

Xuanxuan only felt as if her heart was filled with happiness, her big eyes shining like crescent moons as she mumbled, "Daddy is the best!"

The smile on Huang Tao's face became even more delightfully radiant!

"Now eat quietly by yourself, Daddy has to get back to work."

Huang Tao patted her little head and returned to the kitchen to prepare for the evening's business.

"Meow~"

Mimi somehow ended up by her feet, squatting down with a pitiful, begging-for-food look.

"You're really a little gluttonous cat..."

Though Xuanxuan felt a bit reluctant in her heart, Mimi was her good friend, and good friends should share.

She reluctantly picked up a piece of fish and tossed it down.

Mimi caught it eagerly, gobbling it down as if it were starving.

"Tee-hee, silly greedy Mimi~"

Xuanxuan laughed, tossed another piece of fish to Mimi, and then continued to happily enjoy her noodles.

After five o'clock.

As customers entered the shop, they found the changes inside quite intriguing.

Many early-arriving local customers couldn't resist curiously inspecting the self-service kiosk at the entrance.

Li reached out to touch it, curious, "Huh? Something's different in the shop! What's this machine for?"

Granny Li wasn't very sure, "This should be a self-service kiosk, right?"

Lao Liu chuckled, "This! It's a self-service kiosk. Many restaurants use this now. You can operate it to select what you want to order, then pay and get a number to wait for your meal."

"Lao Liu, can you teach us how to use it?" The local folks asked, looking eager to learn.

Lao Liu: "..."

Even he didn't know how to use it!

Whenever he dined out, the younger family members took care of it, and all he had to do was sit and wait for the food.

Old Qin, observing Lao Liu's expression of "I would love to teach you, but darn it, I don't know either," couldn't help but laugh.

Lao Liu threw him a look as if to say, "If you're so capable, why don't you do it?"

Being quite sharp, Old Qin wasn't about to fall into that trap; he simply glanced elsewhere, pretending not to notice.

Lao Liu felt he had misjudged his friends!

Luckily, Ding Suqin noticed they didn't know how to use the self-service kiosk and, to avoid making the customers behind them anxious, she quickly shouted, "Hey, everyone, you can come to my side to order."

Hearing the shout, Li and the others didn't delay and rushed to the counter.

"I'd like a Yellow Croaker Noodles, a Yellow Croaker Wheat Noodles, half a roast duck, and two orders of Dongpo Pork, that's all."

Listening to the orders, Ding Suqin operated the ordering machine.

Though she was temporarily trained for the job, thankfully, she picked things up quickly and could easily handle it.

"That'll be 330 yuan in total, please wait on this side to collect your meal."

Li listened and took out his phone, opening the payment code to pay.

Then he took the white slip given by Ding Suqin to the counter to wait for his meal.

Meanwhile, many university students and delivery folks chose to use the self-service kiosk for ordering.

Fortunately, the delivery folks arrived early today and also ordered Dongpo Pork.

Over here, after getting off work, Su Lulu wasted no time and headed straight to Delicious Restaurant to queue up.

Exactly.

Before work, she called her boyfriend, asking him to invite her good friend for a meal so she could meet them.

At first, her boyfriend hesitated.

But in the end, he agreed, contacted his good friend, and assured her they would come as planned.

So as soon as she got off work, she came straight to queue, to avoid the embarrassment of arriving late and missing out.
