Inside Delicious Restaurant.
The customers at the front of the line, upon hearing that a new dish was launched at noon.
No worries about money!
Basically, they all chose the crab rice cake without hesitation.
Even those short on cash!
They gritted their teeth and also chose the crab rice cake, just to try it out.
The customers at the back of the line kept peeking at how much those in front were buying while queuing.
Afraid that by the time it was their turn.
The crab rice cake would already be gone.
The takeaway customers, carrying bags of "trophies," hummed songs all the way, basking in the envious gazes of the crowd, and disappeared into the throng.
Obviously!
The coolest kid on this street depended on how many bags of Delicious Restaurant's food you were carrying!
And the customers dining in the restaurant were savoring their meals with great pleasure.
Lin Zhibo couldn't help but praise as he ate: "Wow... the crab flavor is delicious, the rice cake is soft and chewy, it's absolutely delicious..."
"One plate isn't enough at all! Boss, please get me another plate of crab rice cake." Zhou Hong, who wore glasses, loudly called out to Huang Tao.
No sooner had he spoken!
Than he attracted several murderous glares.
Usually, ordering more after finishing is normal.
But in Huang Tao's shop, this was a bit infuriating for the crowd.
The customers still queuing inside the shop began voicing strong protests one after the other.
"Get out, if you want another plate, kindly go outside and queue again."
"Damn! I've been queuing for over ten minutes, and you're just sitting there happily enjoying your food. Not only do you finish it, but you also try to order another plate. Who gave you this courage?"
"Exactly, exactly, it's bad enough having to watch you enjoy it, and now you want another plate. Don't you know there are hungry kids in their twenties?"
"Yeah, right, if you're going to order, get two bowls at once. Don't finish one and then order again!"
Zhou Hong had to awkwardly smile and shut his mouth.
Fearing that anything he said would anger those still waiting for their crab rice cake and lead to unwarranted trouble.
Maybe even get a beating!
When it came to the customers behind in line, they had wised up.
"I want a bowl of crab rice cake, oh no, make that two, and I'll eat here."
"I'll take two bowls of crab rice cake and a bowl of nourishing fish soup to go."
"I'll have two bowls of crab rice cake, and a bowl of nourishing fish soup, eat here."
"I'll have the same as him..."
This ordering wave led to the rapid consumption of crab and rice cakes.
Soon enough, the crab ran out.
Xu Hao glanced at the ingredients and reminded, "Boss, the crab's almost gone!"
"Alright, got it. Then let Suqin know not to take any more crab rice cake orders," Huang Tao continued stir-frying calmly.
"Got it!"
Xu Hao nodded, quickly ran over to Ding Suqin who was busy packing, and relayed Huang Tao's message.
Ding Suqin looked at the customer in front of her and apologized, "I'm really sorry! The crab rice cake is sold out for lunch. Is there anything else you'd like to try? The lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs are also very good..."
"Sold...sold out..."
The middle-aged man with a potbelly froze with a grin on his face.
Thinking of the husky outside, he was suddenly overwhelmed.
"Then I'll have two servings of lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs, two braised pig trotters, and two bowls of nourishing fish soup, to go."
"Alright, please wait a moment."
Ding Suqin replied politely.
Soon, the potbellied middle-aged man carried his to-go boxes out of the shop.
The husky came up, sniffed the food bag in his hand, and looked at him sternly.
Its face showed a fierce light.
As if it were saying: Human, where's the crab rice cake you promised?
The potbellied middle-aged man, intimidated by its gaze, worried the husky would tear the house apart in revenge once they got home.
He quickly put on a smile and said, "The crab rice cake is sold out, but I bought you lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs, braised pig trotters, and nourishing fish soup. Let's have these for lunch first. Don't worry, I'll definitely bring you the crab rice cake tonight, I'll buy you two portions, will that do?"
The husky's grumpy expression slowly softened.
...
Yan Ming, who got the last plate of crab rice cake, carried his to-go box while singing happily all the way.
As he left West City Old Street, he couldn't help taking a photo of the to-go box and posting it on his social media: Today's stroke of luck, snagged the last new dish from Delicious Restaurant.
As soon as it was posted.
Numerous friends and classmates quickly liked and commented.
[A Long Enough Name To Attract Goddesses] : Yan, what's in that to-go box of yours?
[Absolutely Fabulous] : So envious, Yan, is it crab rice cake? Don't ask how I know, just know that I bought a portion earlier too, and now I'm enjoying the freshly made crab rice cake in my dorm! It smells amazing!
[This User Has Risen From The Dead] : You guys are heartless! I waited in line but didn't get any... didn't get any... West Lake's water and my tears, who knows!!!
[Wei] : Yan, we agreed to buy it together, but you went ahead without me. You wait, I'm coming with a hundred-meter long sword!
[Ji] : Damn, when did Delicious Restaurant release a new dish? How come I didn't know at all? We're in the same dorm, Yan! You have no integrity!
[Honest Words Can't Be Hidden] : Holy crap, Yan, you're showing off blatantly!
[Because I'm So Cool] : Hey there, old Yan, you've had some amazing luck today! You should buy a lottery ticket!
[Little Fairy Lin Yuhan] : Yan Ming, your little fairy Lin Yuhan is starving, please come throw some food my way immediately.
When he saw Lin Yuhan's comment, Yan Ming got goosebumps all over.
Your little fairy, throwing food my way...
Who the hell do you think you are to me!
He thought of his childhood playmate and replied to [Little Fairy Lin Yuhan] with a look of exasperation: Hey hey hey, watch your words, we're clearly enemies, aren't we...
Lin Yuhan replied instantly: Little enemy, what are you doing, acting like a fool. I asked a question, why don't you answer. You said before, you love me, is it true or false, speak clearly, don't play dumb...
Oh my god!
Was he being flirted with?
No, no!
They were rivals.
She was just teasing him!
He couldn't be bothered with her, silently put his phone away, and slipped it into his pocket.
Passing by a lottery store, he remembered his friend's comment about his good luck and decided to try his chance at the lottery.
So he went in and bought a scratch-off ticket.
He picked a 10 yuan one.
After some scratching.
Oh wow!
He actually won!
1000 yuan!
Though the amount wasn't large, it was the biggest prize he'd ever won in his life.
With this prize, he could frequent Boss Huang's shop for the next few days.
He happily carried his to-go box back to the school dorm, knowing the taste would diminish as it cooled.
As he approached the boys' dormitory, he saw his rival Lin Yuhan pacing beneath the building!
Oh no!
Why was she waiting here~
He instinctively turned around and walked away...
