Daddy's Gourmet Shop
Chapter 645 - 629: Once-in-a-Lifetime Series
In the morning, due to the opening ceremony of the Delicious Restaurant’s new store, some loyal customers worried that Huang Tao would be busy with the ceremony and greeting guests, leaving no time or energy to attend to them.
So!
To avoid becoming Huang Tao’s "sweet burden."
The loyal customers who originally planned to support the new store at lunchtime all temporarily shelved this idea.
They resisted coming for lunch.
Now.
The new store’s opening ceremony has concluded perfectly, and the restaurant started normal operations. Many loyal customers who held back from coming at lunch but eagerly wanted to try the new offerings swarmed in all at once.
Looking at the Delicious Restaurant’s new store, their eyes brightened...
One has to admit, the renovation of this new store is remarkable.
High-end, stylish, and upscale!
The acrylic luminous shop sign, combined with the store’s unique elements, paired with a fitting color scheme, captures attention.
Apart from the two large doors, the walls on both sides are floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Under the eaves, there is a row of long benches. Knowing there will be a lot of people queuing, they specifically set up a place for shelter from rain and seating, making it convenient for waiting customers.
This design is truly considerate, practical, and aesthetically pleasing!
Walking inside, they look around.
The floor tiles are so shiny they can reflect people.
Each dining area has partitions, no different from those in high-end restaurants.
The kitchen and the dining area in front are separated by a long bar for placing food.
Even while dining in the lobby, one can clearly see what’s happening in the kitchen.
This renovation, looks expensive!
The whole new store feels high-class!
Speaking of...
Is this high-end restaurant really Boss Huang’s new store?!
If it weren’t for the location, if it weren’t for the new store being announced by Boss Huang on the official Weibo account, they would truly suspect they were in the wrong place.
"Holy crap, is Boss Huang’s new store this awesome?!"
"Who can resist such a restaurant?"
"This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!"
"My God, Boss Huang’s new store is so beautifully renovated! Compared to the Old Street, it’s like heaven and earth!"
"Can you really compare? The store on Old Street is rented, the one in the city is owned. Owned properties naturally have better renovations, and besides, this is a commercial area in the city, so the renovation style naturally needs to cater to the consumers here, making it upscale. Otherwise, how would it attract the high-level white-collar workers in the city?"
"Look at what you’re saying, with Boss Huang’s skills, is there still fear of not attracting those white-collar workers? Boss Huang has attracted business moguls and rich kids from the neighboring city with his skills, and these moguls and rich kids even bought houses near Huang Tao’s store just to enjoy Boss Huang’s dishes nearby! I just saw outside the store, many of those expensive flower baskets were sent by these business moguls and rich kids!"
"That’s true, good wine needs no bush!"
"Boss Huang, congratulations on the grand opening of your new store!"
"Boss Huang, do you remember me? I heard you specially prepared three new dishes for the opening of this new store? I wonder how these new dishes taste, care to recommend them?"
"It’s been such a long time since I’ve eaten at your restaurant, I’ve been craving it so much. Don’t ask me why I haven’t eaten for so long, it’s because it was simply impossible to buy from the Old Street."
"Boiled cabbage, Longjing Shrimp, Braised Turtle are new dishes at the new store? Give me a Braised Turtle please, I’ve been working overtime until late night every day recently, I’ve become quite frail and need to replenish myself..."
Upon hearing a customer greet him, Huang Tao smiled and looked up, responding, "Yes, Boiled cabbage, Longjing Shrimp, and Braised Turtle are the new dishes of the new store."
"If you want to order, just scan the QR code on the table to place an order."
"If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to consult the service staff in the store."
In the afternoon, customers weren’t supposed to come this early, otherwise, Huang Tao wouldn’t have been planning to first arrange Xuanxuan’s birthday celebration and celebrate her birthday before evening business starts.
As a result.
His birthday celebration hadn’t even started!
The store was already packed with loyal customers.
These loyal customers came specially from various places to support him, and if he were to leave them aside just to arrange the birthday celebration, wouldn’t that make them feel disappointed!
So!
Faced with this unexpected situation, Huang Tao had to rely on the principle that customers are like gods and change his plans temporarily...
He decided to first treat these loyal customers well!
As for his precious daughter’s birthday celebration...
It can only be postponed until after the evening business has ended.
Oh well!
I can only let my precious daughter be wronged for the moment.
We’re closing early tonight.
Huang Tao looked apologetically at Xuanxuan, who was sitting at her designated table, and said, "Xuanxuan, Daddy has to cook for those customers who ordered. Your birthday party will probably be held at 8 PM tonight."
"Uh-huh,"
Xuanxuan nodded obediently, with comforting eyes, she said: "It’s okay, Daddy, you go ahead and be busy. I’m fine."
With a daughter like this, what more could one ask for!
Huang Tao gave her a doting smile, then looked at Jiangling and others. Before he could speak, Jiangling seemed to know what he was going to say and said with a smile, "Boss Huang, you go ahead and take care of the matters in the restaurant! We don’t mind waiting."
He didn’t forget to add: "If you need any help, feel free to ask."
"Alright!"
Huang Tao nodded and threw himself into the business of cooking delicious food for the customers.
The waiters were also bustling around the restaurant, serving tea to these loyal patrons.
A busy scene.
Just after five o’clock, many new customers who had eaten at the restaurant during lunch came back, each bringing new friends.
"This place is really decorated quite nicely! And it’s pretty clean too."
"I came over for lunch, not only is the decor nice, but the taste is also really good!"
"Alright, if you say it’s delicious, the taste must be good. Let’s go, let’s try it."
Yang Huiru and the other staff saw this and were a bit excited.
Several customers had been there at lunch!
The best scenario had happened.
There were more returning customers.
And quite a few new ones!
At that moment, more people came over.
"It’s this restaurant, the taste is really good. You’ll know once you try it."
"Wow, why are there so many people?"
"When I came at noon, there weren’t this many people!"
"You said it yourself, the taste is so good, there definitely won’t be a lack of people..."
"Seems right!"
Logically speaking.
The business area here is much larger than on West City Old Street, and there are more seats. But even so, there is still not a single empty seat, and some regulars are clamoring to take out food to eat at home.
Before long, the long benches under the eaves outside were filled with customers waiting to eat.
Later-arriving customers had to stand in line.
Although this scale isn’t as terrifying as the store on Old Street, it’s already taking shape.
Jiangling saw this and was much calmer, not as surprised as the first time he saw the queue on West City Old Street.
He thought it was very normal for Huang Tao’s restaurant to have such business.
After all, with such good culinary skills, the business was bound to be booming.
"Amazing, amazing, I really didn’t expect the business to be this booming. Previously, I was still worried that the restaurant’s evening business would be mediocre! Seems I was overthinking it..."
As it got dark, Gu Zhihao came with his girlfriend and some colleagues he got along with to support Huang Tao.
As a result...
They couldn’t even get in, the line almost blocked the entrance.
Even though Huang Tao didn’t do much advertising, just a brief announcement on the official Weibo account, Lin Jingsong’s rental company started advertising for Huang Tao’s new restaurant a few days ago, and the night before, some rich kids did a spectacular promotion for Huang Tao’s new restaurant, adding a lot of popularity.
And those loyal patrons, upon hearing Delicious Restaurant was opening, were each more excited than the last, constantly recommending it to people around them.
Adding in the new customers who ate at noon, they also went crazy recommending Delicious Restaurant to their friends and family.
Now the restaurant was bustling with people everywhere, all coming for the restaurant’s delicacies.
"Previously I wanted to tell the boss, with our new restaurant offering dishes like Water-Boiled Cabbage, which is at a state banquet level, the price isn’t cheap either, it might not be suitable for small eateries like ours. But unexpectedly, delicious food really can’t be stopped, everyone still comes, the restaurant is full, and there are many people in line outside! This is not even the peak yet, those surrounding peers are probably experiencing green-eyed jealousy."
Yang Huiru at the counter, while making drinks, expressed with emotion.
Even though the price of dishes is significantly higher than the average in Wenling City, new and old customers still flock in, with many not caring about the price as long as the food is delicious.
And this isn’t even the peak of the evening yet.
Around seven, there would probably be more waiting people.
In no time, scenes like the queue on West City Old Street would be played out here in the city center...
