"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Supreme Lord Laojun, please show your power and make Boss Huang open the door quickly!"
"I got up extra early today, I just refuse to believe I won't get anything this morning!"
"I'm starving to death, I even dreamt last night of myself eating pan-fried buns and drinking century egg and lean pork congee! And then... I woke up to find it was all just a dream. I felt like crying..."
"It's killing me! I feel all out of sorts if I don't eat Boss Huang's pan-fried buns just once."
"Having a bowl of century egg and lean pork congee and over a dozen pan-fried buns every meal, there's nothing happier than this..."
In front of Huang Tao's store, a crowd was already lining up to buy pan-fried buns and century egg and lean pork congee.
Many old customers living nearby had brought simple folding chairs, sitting in a row outside the store.
"Old Qin, how many plates?"
"Sure!"
Old Qin and Lao Liu, two inseparable friends who have loved and battled each other for years, were playing chess directly at Huang Tao's store entrance.
Several other old men gathered around to watch the chess game, to pass the slightly boring wait time.
Also, Cao Zhe and a group of taxi drivers who missed eating last night were waiting on the side.
While waiting, they exchanged each other's overnight earnings, complaining a bit about how hard it is to earn money these days.
This scene made the nearby eatery owners insanely jealous!
Just how delicious are his pan-fried buns and century egg and lean pork congee?
To make customers wait at the storefront without complaint?
These eatery owners have been on this Old Street for many years.
They spent several years gradually figuring out their customers' taste preferences.
And gradually mastered their secret recipes.
Naturally, they also have many returning customers.
But their business still isn't as booming as So Delicious, which just opened for a couple of days!
In less than two days of opening, So Delicious was able to gain so many diners' likes.
The surrounding restaurant owners wondered, what's the secret of Boss of So Delicious?
Several restaurant owners even considered buying some to taste what Huang Tao made.
But they are competitors; they felt it was a bit embarrassing to buy.
When they have a chance later, they will definitely try the delicious food at So Delicious!
A little past 6:50.
The aroma of century egg and lean pork congee was already very strong.
The fragrance of the pan-fried buns was also getting stronger.
The stewed pig's trotters also emitted a tempting aroma.
"Gurgle~"
The customers outside the store, smelling the overwhelming aroma, couldn't help but swallow.
"Smells so good!"
"Hmm? Besides the smell of century egg and lean pork congee and pan-fried buns, why do I smell some braised flavor?"
"There is indeed a braised flavor! Tsk tsk tsk, this aroma is rich and fragrant~"
"Damn! I finally know who was making me drool last night... it was Boss Huang..."
"Oh my~ so it was Boss Huang's braised aroma that made my child cry from craving last night..."
"Damn it, the craving I just suppressed is stirring again..."
Everyone sniffed hard.
Can't eat now, at least smell to curb the craving!
Lao Liu sniffed the aroma, joyfully and delightfully said, "Old Qin, looks like we're in for a treat today..."
Old Qin, in a Zhongshan suit, nodded wisely while shaking his folding fan with a "I knew it all along" expression.
Lao Liu: ( ̄^ ̄)
Old Qin, just play it cool~
We'll see if you can still keep this calm later.
Lao Liu chuckled, glanced at the chessboard, and was taken aback: "I say, whose turn is it now?"
"What did you say?" Old Qin paused his fan shaking.
"I said whose turn is it now?"
Old Qin: ( ̄工 ̄lll)
Oh no!
Too engrossed by the aroma, forgot whose turn it was.
Lao Liu observed his expression and understood: "Old Qin, why don't I just go? I'll move..."
"Why should you move! What if you go twice in a row, I'll move..." Old Qin hurriedly reached out to stop him.
"No, no, but what if you move twice in a row?"
"I, I'll move..."
"I'll move..."
Just as the two were at an impasse, a voice said, "Hey, look, Boss Huang's opening up, opening up..."
"Opening up, I'll move..."
Old Qin hurriedly stood up and followed the crowd.
Lao Liu: <( ̄︶ ̄)>
"Hahaha... Old Qin, not so calm now are you..."
"Hey, Old Qin, wait for me…"
Inside the shop.
"Boss Huang, give me 4 bowls of century egg and lean meat porridge, and 20 beef buns to go."
"I want 10 pork buns, 10 pork and mushroom buns, 10 beef buns, and 3 bowls of century egg and lean meat porridge, packed, please."
Even before Huang Tao started selling, his phone was constantly vibrating with the sound of money coming in.
A number of old customers saw Huang Tao and couldn't help but ask, "Boss Huang, I smelled a fragrant aroma of braised flavors outside your shop earlier, are you planning to launch a new dish?"
"Yes, braised pig's trotters, launching at noon. Welcome to taste."
Upon hearing this, the old customers were thrilled.
Each was eager to try, hoping noon would arrive quickly.
Huang Tao smiled as he skillfully packed the orders.
Not long after, it was Cao Zhe's turn.
"Four... I'll have four beef buns and a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge to eat here."
"Okay!"
Huang Tao picked out four buns and placed them on a plate, then scooped a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge, handing them to him, "24 yuan."
"WeChat payment, 24 yuan."
Cao Zhe carried the tray over to the table with his colleagues.
The close proximity of the pan-fried buns and century egg and lean meat porridge was a relentless assault on his senses.
As if punishing him for looking down on them earlier.
To this, he had no resistance, letting them take over!
"Gulp…"
His Adam's apple involuntarily moved as he reached out to pick up a steaming pan-fried bun.
With a crispy bottom, thin skin, and fragrant meat.
A gentle bite into the skin released the abundant juices inside, and without much effort, the delicious flavor flooded his mouth.
Rich and savory, it made it hard to stop!
The crispy fried bottom and fresh meat filling were perfectly seasoned too.
After eating, the lingering taste was amazing!
No wonder this place is so popular, with endless streams of customers coming just for the food.
"Phew!"
"Delicious, the taste is amazing!"
He ate quickly, finishing 4 pan-fried buns in no time.
With a look of lingering desire, he called out,
"Boss, give me 4 more, oh no, make that 10 more!"
Last night at the noodle shop, he overheard two office workers say they could eat a dozen pan-fried buns in one sitting and thought they were exaggerating.
Now...
Was it exaggerated?
Not at all!
What's a dozen pan-fried buns?
I could easily eat twenty!
His colleagues felt the same, reordering as well.
Seeing these new customers enjoy his food with satisfied expressions, Huang Tao felt a deep sense of satisfaction too.
Look, another customer conquered by his delicious food!
Xuanxuan looked around, seeing all the uncles and grandpas eating happily, she was happy too.
Happy for dad!
...
The playful sunlight sneaked into the room through the thin curtains, gradually climbing onto the two beds in the middle of the bedroom.
Falling on the side of Cai Jiajia's face.
She opened her eyes, her eyelashes casting shadows on her face, the fine hairs softening her features, her light golden hair seemingly blending with the sunlight.
She propped herself up and glanced around the room.
Seeing no sign of her roommate Xu Meiqi, she was clearly off washing up.
She grabbed her phone by the pillow and turned it on.
Lying in bed, she scrolled through her phone.
The moment she entered the campus forum, she saw her own post pinned to the homepage!
She clicked into the post, its content having been refreshed over several pages.
The humorous comments begging for the address made her smile with delight.
She felt a sense of anticipation and pride seeing the hidden gem she'd recommended slowly gaining popularity.
Except…
Suddenly spotting one or two skeptical comments, some even trying to stir things up.
It made her mad.
They even called her a shill.
How could she stand for that?
