"Wow, nourishing fish soup? Boss Huang, is the new dish for lunch the nourishing fish soup written here?"

Even though Qin is somewhat farsighted now, he still sharply caught this important piece of information.

Huang Tao smiled and nodded: "Yes!"

Hearing this, Qin's eyes sparkled with excitement, and his craving inside was restless.

He asked eagerly, "Boss Huang, is the nourishing fish soup ready now? Can you start serving it?"

"Old Qin, why are you in such a hurry! It's not even business hours yet! Look, it's still more than ten minutes to eleven!" Lao Liu, also eager, reminded his old friend to avoid putting Boss Huang in a tight spot, knowing his business hours.

Qin retorted: "Oh! Now you think I'm in a rush? Who just hurried me to walk faster earlier..."

Lao Liu: "..."

Seeing this pair of bickering old friends, Huang Tao couldn't help but smile.

Though he argued with Lao Liu, Qin took his words to heart. With a hint of apology, he said, "Boss Huang, I'm sorry; I was too impatient. If it's not ready, take your time. We can wait inside."

"Everything is ready inside. You two can sit and wait for a bit; we'll start serving soon," Huang Tao said with a smile.

Qin's eyes lit up: "Oh, you've prepared so early today? Did you hire an assistant chef?"

"Congratulations, Qin, you guessed right!"

"That's great... Lao Liu, let's go inside and sit for a while..."

The two old men walked into the shop with smiles.

Seeing Xu Hao and Ding Suqin eating, they nodded at them as a greeting.

Catching a glimpse of that aroma-rich, white nourishing fish soup, both felt they were in for a treat at lunch.

"Boss Huang, we'd like two servings of lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs and two bowls of nourishing fish soup."

"Okay, please have a seat for now..."

Huang Tao responded and went to the kitchen to start steaming the lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs, pan-frying buns, and preparing another pot to cook fish slices.

Xu Hao put down his chopsticks, washed his hands, and came over to help.

As they were busy, university student Yan Ming and a few roommates walked up, chatting and laughing.

Their eyes immediately caught the additional line on the digital board at the entrance: Nourishing Fish Soup, 28 yuan per bowl.

Yan Ming asked with delight, "Boss, there's a new dish today!!"

Huang Tao replied while focusing on his tasks: "Yes, it's a new dish just launched for lunch, and each bowl of fish soup will have quite a bit of fish meat..."

Seeing the fish soup being cooked through the glass, Yan Ming was thrilled, "That's great, I've been craving fish. It's like a pillow is given when I'm sleepy. Boss, I'll have a bowl of the nourishing fish soup, a lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs, and each of the four types of buns, to go."

"I'll also have a bowl of nourishing fish soup, one lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs, and four three-flavor vegetarian buns."

"I'll have the same as him..."

Ding Suqin smilingly shouted, "Those dining in, those taking out, come over here..."

Yan Ming obediently queued up, swiftly took out his phone to scan and pay, and waited to pick up his order.

Soon, the nourishing fish soup for Qin and Liu was ready.

Xu Hao and Ding Suqin each carried a bowl of soup to Qin and Liu's table: "Gentlemen, here is your nourishing fish soup, take your time. The lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs will be ready shortly."

Qin and Liu sniffed the nourishing fish soup in front of them.

The aroma was rich and full!

Qin let a drop of fish soup fall on the table, and the soup naturally gathered into a bead.

He gently blew on it.

The drop of fish soup rolled from one side of the table to the other.

This action left Lao Liu dumbfounded.

"Qin, what's the meaning of this?"

Qin gently shook his fan and explained: "It's said that a top-quality fish soup is white like milk, rich yet not greasy, and when a drop naturally gathers into a bead on the table, you can blow it from one side to the other. Today I've witnessed it!"

Liu had a look of "I don't understand what you're talking about, but it sounds impressive" on his face.

Such an impressive fish soup, naturally, had to be savored.

Liu scooped a spoonful and tasted it slowly.

Tasting a bit, he found the taste of the fish soup indeed remarkable, even better than some famous chefs' soups!

And the fish meat, it didn't even need chewing, just slid down the throat!

Fish meat together with fish soup, finishing a bowl was like living a divine life!

Qin's reaction to drinking the fish soup was even more intense than Liu's, reflecting an incredibly joyful expression...

This bowl of fish soup was simply too enjoyable!

Liu couldn't help but exaggeratedly praise: "Wow, Boss Huang's skills are indeed brilliant."

"Indeed, reminiscent of my glory days," Qin gently shook his fan and nodded leisurely.

Liu mercilessly exposed him: "Qin, stop boosting yourself… feel your conscience… are you sure you were at this level back in the day?"

Qin: "..."

Rounding up... maybe!

Just as they were bantering, they saw Jiang and a group of old fellows walk in.

Qin cheerfully recommended to them: "Old Jiang, you're here. I'm telling you, you must try the new nourishing fish soup we have for lunch, it's delicious!"

Jiang replied happily, "Nothing Boss Huang makes is ever bad."

"Alright, if you recommend it, Qin, it must be good. We'll try it later."

Saying that, the group of old fellows went to line up.

As the crowd grew, the line got longer.

Though steaming, frying, and boiling took time, Huang Tao worked fast.

Once the dishes were ready, Xu Hao and Ding Suqin packed them up together.

Customers played on their phones while waiting, and time passed quickly, with no complaints heard.

After all, good food is worth the wait.

Granny Li and Li returned from shopping for groceries and passed by Huang Tao's shop.

Seeing the queue at the entrance,

Li couldn't help but comment, "I must say, most people in line are young. They seem to be local office workers."

At this moment, Granny Li recalled something about Huang Tao's past she had heard, sighing, "Oh, if it weren't for the family changes, Boss Huang would be working a nine-to-five job like the people in line. Though this is good too, with heavy burdens, working early and late is still much harder than others."

They knew a bit about Huang Tao's family situation.

Knowing Huang Tao became widowed, gave up a high-paying job to care for his child.

Who says an ordinary life isn't good?

Having family in good health, no heavy burdens of housing or car loans, and a stable nine-to-five, five-days-a-week job, is already better than most.

Li remained silent: "Boss Huang is indeed blessed, having gone through hardships, the future will be bright."

Granny Li nodded in agreement.

"Wife, look, the new dish Boss Huang has today is nourishing fish soup! How about we..."

Originally, Granny Li intended to wait to buy some when their daughter visited, but smelling the aroma, she hesitated and said, "Let's buy two bowls to taste."

"Alright! I'll go queue up."

Li cheerfully went to line up.

He queued for quite a while before finally purchasing.

Then joyfully, he headed back to the community with Granny Li, meeting familiar faces.
