In the residential buildings near West City Old Street.

The elderly folks, without prior arrangement, orderly walked out of the community, heading towards the "So Delicious" shop.

As people get older!

In the morning, even without an alarm clock, they can't sleep in.

Every one of them wakes up at five or six o'clock.

In the past!

They would get up early either to reserve a spot for square dancing or for the fitness equipment.

But now!

They all have adopted the attitude of "Square dancing is precious, fitness is more valuable, but for Boss Huang's delicious food, both can be abandoned."

Dozens of elderly folks chatted while walking, creating a lively scene.

"Hey, are you all planning to go to 'So Delicious' for breakfast?!"

"Yes! Now, if I don't have a meal made by Boss Huang for a day, I feel an indescribable emptiness, as if I've lost something, and I just can't feel at ease the whole day."

"That's right! Ever since I started eating Boss Huang's food, I've been feeling so invigorated! No more backaches or sore legs, and walking feels effortless, I can climb five floors in one go with no trouble."

"Ah! If not for my partner saying that we shouldn't overeat at our age, I'd definitely be queuing every day, three meals a day, just smelling it makes me crave more~"

Old Li's words had a hint of grievance.

As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss.

But sitting upstairs every day, he can smell that tempting aroma of brine, making him crave it so much he's about to turn into a resentful husband.

Unfortunately!

The control of the household rests entirely with his wife.

He has a little secret stash of his own.

However, if he were really to sneak out and buy it behind his wife's back, she'd definitely give him the cold shoulder for half a month.

Considering the price of indulgence, Old Li held back for now.

"Old Li, since your wife doesn't let you eat, why do you still go and buy it? Aren't you afraid she'll make you kneel on the washboard when you get back?"

"Well...my wife gave special permission this time!"

"Hahaha~ Old Li, you, you, are so controlled by your wife..."

"And you, Old Jiang?"

"My little granddaughter, ever since she had Boss Huang's fried buns, she's been obsessed with them, constantly asking me to buy more, so my wife had no choice but to urge me to go and get them."

Old Jiang chuckled cheerfully.

Ever since a few mornings ago, after his granddaughter Niuniu tasted the fried buns, she kept pestering her parents to let her stay at her grandparents' house.

She absolutely refused to go home!

Initially, Old Jiang and his wife thought it was because Niuniu couldn't bear to leave her grandparents, which made them quite happy!

It was only until lunch, when Niuniu clung to Old Jiang's leg, whining for the morning's fried buns, that Old Jiang finally understood.

Niuniu didn't insist on staying because of her grandparents, but because she was smitten with Boss Huang's fried buns.

He didn't feel too disappointed.

After all, Niuniu is just a child, with a child's nature.

That time, Old Jiang gave in to his granddaughter and not only bought fried buns but also brought back lean pork and preserved egg congee.

For the first time, Niuniu, who usually didn't like congee, finished her serving and gave a thumbs up, sweetly praising how delicious it was.

Yesterday at noon, he even bought a new item, braised pig trotters, to bring home.

After trying it, Niuniu was even more amazed.

She became even more reluctant to leave.

She even shouted that she wanted to stay at her grandpa's house forever!

Jiang Xueying and Ding Yong, seeing their usually picky eater daughter enjoying the fried buns so much,

And since the food at the "So Delicious" shop was clean, hygienic, and made of fresh ingredients, just like homemade, the couple didn't mind leaving her at her grandpa's house.

So they could go about their business without any burdens.

Except that every mealtime, during video calls with their daughter, watching her happily eating fried buns, drinking lean pork and preserved egg congee, and gnawing on braised pig trotters...

They suddenly felt a bit envious of their daughter, who could enjoy such delicious food every day while staying at her grandpa's home!

Their daughter was truly wise!

If it weren't for making money, they too would want to stay at their parents' house forever.

At this time, Old Jiang and a few other elderly folks arrived at the entrance of West City Old Street.

As they passed by Zheng's Breakfast Shop, they were stopped by an employee from Zheng's.

"Hey... folks, come over and take a look... Our Zheng's Breakfast Shop has introduced a brand new flavor of fried buns today..."

Upon hearing this, the elderly folks' curiosity was piqued.

Their forward steps suddenly came to a halt.

Take a look?

Take a look!

After all, looking is free.

The elderly folks exchanged glances, all seeing the desire to join in the fun in each other's eyes.

They approached together.

An employee from Zheng's Breakfast Shop, seeing them approach, enthusiastically introduced the items to them, "Folks, take a look, these two kinds of fried buns are newly launched flavors today; pork with mushrooms and beef. And this congee is also a new item for this morning... preserved egg with lean pork congee, very fresh and fragrant... would any of you like to try a serving?"

What new flavors?

Just this?

The elderly folks couldn't help but frown.

"Your fried bun filling and this preserved egg congee are the same as those made by Boss Huang's shop!"

"Yes! What you're doing is simply... What's the internet saying... Oh, right, this is blatant imitation! It's ridiculous!"

An employee from Zheng's: Σ(°△°|||)︴

Folks, why are you speaking the harsh truth!

The employees at Zheng's Breakfast Shop felt intimidated by the fighting spirit of the elderly folks but maintained an awkward yet polite smile: "Pork with mushroom and beef fillings are very common! You can't just say we're copying him because Boss Huang did these flavors first!"

The elder folks' faces showed a hint of disdain.

Also mixed with a look of "I've already seen through your tricks."

"Humph, I've walked more roads than you've crossed bridges, eaten more salt than you've eaten meals. Your little tricks can't escape my sharp eyes."

"Exactly, exactly, you know! You're just jealous of Boss Huang's thriving business, and you're trying to copy him, doing it and not admitting it?"

"Yes! If it's such a common filling, why didn't we see you offering these fried buns and preserved egg congee before?"

"I mean, people should have a conscience and check their conscience... is it still there?"

Facing the elder folks' fighting spirit, the staff at Zheng's Breakfast Shop couldn't hold on!

Nor did they dare retaliate!

If they upset these elders, causing them to clutch their chest and flop on the ground, claiming pain...

That could lead to major trouble for them!

They might even face ruin!

Who dares provoke them!

They could only stand there with awkward smiles.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see here, let's buy from Boss Huang..."

"Yes, yes, let's go, if we're late, we'll have to wait in a long line..."

The elder folks energetically headed towards Huang Tao's shop.

This left Zheng's Breakfast Shop deserted.

The owner of Zheng's Breakfast Shop, Zheng Fugui, and his wife, Lin Xiue, watched as people lined up at the corner over there, feeling envious yet dissatisfied~

"It's just that his fried buns taste slightly better, and his preserved egg congee is tastier! My Zheng's fried buns and preserved egg congee aren't bad either! Why do they only insist on his shop? It's absurd!"
