Daddy's Gourmet Shop

Chapter 84: We're Not Falling for That


"This aroma, isn't it the new crab fried cake launching at noon..."

"That's right, it's crab fried cake! Brothers, let's go!"

"Oh crap! Wait for me!"

"Damn, with so many people, will we even get a chance?"

At the entrance of Delicious Restaurant, the people who lined up later all had such worries, but the aroma wafting through the air was just too tempting to give up!

After all, the enticing aroma of stir-frying over high heat was irresistibly seeping into their noses...

Stirring up their appetites, scratching within their hearts.

The more it scratched, the deeper their longing for the crab fried cake.

"Slow down, slow down, do you want to exhaust me to death? If I die, you won't get to eat crab fried cake..."

Right now, a potbellied middle-aged man, who had gotten news of the new dish, was being dragged here by his Husky.

Looking at the crowd in front of him...

Oh my!

Whoa, this scene, it's going to be tough to get crab fried cake by noon~

The anxiety in his heart was real!

"Awoo... Awoo..."

The Husky glared fiercely at its owner.

As if saying: If I don't get to eat at noon, you better say how much it's going to cost for that renovation plan of yours?

The potbellied middle-aged man, unnerved by its stare, worried that missing one meal might lead to his house being destroyed, hurriedly put on a smile: "Alright, alright, I get it..."

His mind started racing, thinking of a solution.

Hmm, looks like there's only one way!

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Oh no, please, make way, make way, I have diarrhea..."

The customer in front of him simply turned back to give him a silent glance.

The customer behind him just silently took a couple of steps back.

Nobody moved aside!

Damn!

This crowd is tough!

The potbellied middle-aged man was desperate: "I can't believe you aren't afraid even of diarrhea?"

Xue Kai, in front of the man, wore a "none of my business" look mixed with a bit of "enjoying the show" and said: "It's not like you're gonna shit on me, why should I care!"

Whoa!

Made so much sense, the potbellied middle-aged man was speechless.

Sigh!

This crowd can't be fooled!

"Brother, if your stomach is upset, maybe you shouldn't eat crab. It might make things worse. Why don't you go see a doctor first?" The customer behind seemed concerned, but was actually scheming.

Unfortunately!

The potbellied middle-aged man saw through his scheme,

and shot him a fierce look that said "Someone's eyeing my spot in line again."

He awkwardly smiled.

And just as the potbellied middle-aged man was about to turn his head, he caught sight of a person in a fluorescent uniform getting off a flashy motorcycle.

He exclaimed with surprise: "Whoa, why are the traffic police here?"

Xue Kai and the others in line thought he was up to his tricks again, but wary of his size and the presence of the Husky, they probably wouldn't confront him aggressively.

Of course, there would be no shortage of strong reproach.

"Hey, brother, you're using the same trick twice, do you think we're fools?"

"Yeah! This is so unethical! Are we your monkeys?"

"Didn't fool us the first time, now you're trying a different trick to fool us? I'm telling you, we're not buying it."

"Brother, you're really not playing fair, using such a sneaky trick to take my spot." Xue Kai said angrily.

My goodness!

Does no one believe the truth anymore?

The potbellied middle-aged man rolled his eyes helplessly, pointing: "Look, see for yourselves..."

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the person in a fluorescent uniform walking briskly towards them.

Damn!

It really is the traffic police!

Years of fear from traffic tickets made Xue Kai and the others who drove there instinctively think the police were here to issue tickets.

"Oh my gosh, my car..."

Their first thought was "I'll move it right away, please don't fine me," and they instinctively started to move their feet outwards.

Trying to move their cars.

The potbellied middle-aged man and others who did not drive there looked on with glee.

With some of the line-up going to move their cars, their chances of getting the crab fried cake increased!

Hahaha~

This is truly heaven's help!

Oh, wait!

It's the traffic police helping me out!

They wished they could immediately award this traffic officer a banner of honor.

Unfortunately, they were happy too soon.

Only to see Xue Kai and those who came by car to queue, all silently stepping back, obediently continuing to wait in line.

Huh?

What's going on?

Why aren't they leaving?

At this, the pot-bellied middle-aged man and the people waiting without cars were completely dumbfounded.

They all had expressions of being utterly confused.

The pot-bellied middle-aged man patted Xue Kai on the shoulder and asked curiously, "Bro, weren't you going to move your car? Why aren't you leaving?"

Leave?

That would just be giving you guys space.

If he came and went like this, he wouldn't be able to eat this meal today.

To be honest, in front of delicious food, he was a true foodie; anything that could be eaten shouldn't end up in someone else's hands.

As for the traffic ticket, whatever happens happens~

The others who didn't move their cars also had the same thought.

Xue Kai chuckled, "It's almost my turn, leaving now would be like letting the duck in hand fly away!"

"Aren't you afraid of getting a ticket from the traffic police?"

"As long as I can eat the food made by Boss Huang, a ticket is fine! Anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem!"

Upon hearing this, the pot-bellied middle-aged man and his comrades were all stunned!

They were all inwardly crying out in surprise.

These guys are tough!

But come to think of it, they're right.

If it were them, they'd choose the food too, could a traffic ticket compare to the food at Delicious Restaurant?

The traffic officer in his fluorescent uniform had no idea that his arrival had caused such a stir.

To be honest, he was actually here to eat.

You see!

Seeing the long queue at the door of this shop, he thought the food must be good.

So he wanted to try it out.

But getting out of the car and seeing this number of people queuing, he immediately felt discouraged.

He thought for a bit.

Then turned to go to a noodle shop not far away, just reached the door.

When a man paid no attention to his noodles, nervously rushing past him.

Traffic officer: ???

"Hey, you haven't paid yet..."

The noodle shop owner's wife thought the man was trying to dine and dash, quickly coming out from behind the register to chase after him.

Upon seeing the traffic officer entering the shop, she called out, "Boss, one bowl of beef noodles."

She instantly realized,

That man got scared by the traffic police and went to move his car.

The other customers in the shop were amused by the man and the owner's wife's reaction.

"Alright, just a moment..." the owner's wife agreed with a smile, then went to the kitchen to report the order.

"That shop's business is really good! Such a long line, it's incredible..."

The traffic officer's seat allowed him to see through the glass door at the queue, seeing more people joining in, he murmured in surprise.

"Oh, Officer, that's Boss Huang's shop, their food is really delicious, that's why it sells so well," a middle-aged man about forty said with a smile.

Officer?

The twenty-five-year-old traffic officer paused, glancing sideways at the middle-aged man at the next table.

Alright!

He was calling me officer.

And the term officer is just a respectful form of address.

No need to mind.

The traffic officer offered a polite but somewhat awkward smile: "How good could it be?"

"Let me tell you, I can eat over a dozen of Boss Huang's pan-fried dumplings in one sitting."

"Oh... so why aren't you in that queue and eating noodles here?"

"It's just because I don't have time!"

After saying this, the middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and then curiously asked, "Officer, judging by your expression, you seem interested in the food at Boss Huang's shop too! Why didn't you queue up?"

"I don't have time either!" the traffic officer responded politely:

The noodle shop owner's wife came out with the noodles, hearing this made her twitch with annoyance.

Darn it, I thought it was because my noodles were so good that they attracted the traffic officer.

Turns out it was just because he didn't have time to queue up.

Heartache!

A pain that makes it hard to breathe!
