Around three in the afternoon.

Song Cailing, who had just put Xuanxuan down for a nap, tidied up the room with Huang Yide.

Then, carrying the luggage she brought with her, she went back to the Delicious Restaurant with Xuanxuan.

"Daddy~"

As soon as she entered the shop, Xuanxuan ran straight to her dad.

"Hey!"

Huang Tao had just turned around.

The little one had already clung to Huang Tao's leg, rubbing her face against it.

"Come here, give me a kiss..."

Huang Tao smiled, picked her up in his arms, kissed her cheek, and gently asked, "Were you a good girl during your nap..."

"Yes~"

Xuanxuan smiled sweetly, blinking her bright eyes at Huang Tao, and said coquettishly, "Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa said they want to go home. Can you ask them not to go? Let Grandma and Grandpa stay at our house forever?"

"Then why don't you tell Grandma and Grandpa yourself?"

"I did, but they don't listen to Xuanxuan~"

Xuanxuan had a helpless little expression as if saying, "What more can I do? I'm so hopeless."

Huang Tao felt her downcast mood and rubbed her cheek with his nose, "Xuanxuan, Grandma and Grandpa want to stay with us too, but they have to go back to work in the morning. However, they promised to come back for the food festival. How about you come with Daddy to send them to the bus stop, okay?"

"Yay~"

She hooked her arms around her dad's neck and gave him a loud smack on the cheek.

Song Cailian and her husband initially thought it was unnecessary to be seen off, but seeing their granddaughter so happy, they couldn't refuse her good intentions.

Huang Tao put Xuanxuan down and went to the kitchen to get some pre-packaged braised dishes, "Dad, Mom, I prepared some braised dishes for you to eat on the way."

"You child, save them to sell. Your dad and I aren't keen on these," Song Cailian said with a smile.

Smelling the aroma of the braised dishes, Huang Yide couldn't help but say, "Well, maybe we can take one box..."

Song Cailian cast a sidelong glance at Huang Yide upon hearing this.

Huang Tao didn't bother arguing, and simply shoved the food bag into their carry bag.

Then he briefed the two important staff of the shop, holding Xuanxuan's hand to escort his parents to the nearby bus stop.

While waiting for the bus, Huang Tao spotted a small stall selling oranges by the roadside.

Thinking that he should buy a few oranges for his parents to eat on the way.

He smiled and said, "Mom, Dad, you just sit here while I go buy some oranges over there."

"Son, let me go!" Huang Yide quickly said.

"No need, just help me watch Xuanxuan..."

He waved his hand and went to the orange stall, smiling, "Boss, can I taste one of these oranges first?"

The vendor, sitting on a tricycle and smoking a cigarette, quickly put it out and said with a smile, "Please, go ahead and try."

Huang Tao picked up a small orange, carefully peeled it, and popped a piece into his mouth.

Hmm~

It was very sweet.

"These oranges are good, nice and sweet, give me 5 pounds!"

"Alright!"

The boss responded with a happy smile.

He quickly picked up a plastic bag, preparing to select the oranges, and saw Huang Tao gently put the small orange he had tasted into the bag.

The boss hurriedly said, "No, no, that one's on me, you shouldn't pay for it."

"You work hard too, I ate this orange, so I should buy it. Thank you for your kindness," Huang Tao smiled.

The vendor chuckled and then softly said, "Thank you, sir."

He specifically chose the big, good oranges for Huang Tao.

Huang Tao paid for them.

He carried the oranges back to the bus stop and met a few familiar neighbors along the way.

"Hey, Boss Huang, buying oranges? Where did you get these oranges? Are they sweet?"

"Very sweet,"

"If Boss Huang says it's sweet, then it must be sweet."

Huang Tao took a few oranges from the plastic bag and handed them to the neighbors, "Here, take one and try it!"

"No, no, just tell me where you bought them from?"

"I got them from over there by the tricycle..."

The neighbors thanked him and went over to the orange vendor.

Upon arrival, the first thing they asked was, "Are these the oranges that Boss Huang just bought?"

Then they started picking up oranges without hesitation, moved on to weighing and paying.

They bought several pounds at a time.

Many passing neighbors, seeing others buying, laughed and asked, "Hey! Are these oranges sweet?"

"Haven't tried them, but Boss Huang said they're sweet."

"If Boss Huang said they're sweet, they must be sweet... Come on, give me two pounds."

"I'll take five pounds..."

"I have a big family, get me 6 pounds!"

The orange vendor's mind was in a daze.

Who exactly is Boss Huang?

Why do all these people rush to buy as soon as they hear the name "Boss Huang" without even tasting it?

Meanwhile, the banana vendor not far away was green with envy, not knowing what kind of luck the orange vendor had stumbled into, with business so incredibly good.

As for Huang Tao, the bus came.

Huang Yide and Song Cailian got on one after the other and then lowered the window to leave a few last instructions:

"Son, Xuanxuan, remember to take good care of yourselves..."

"Okay, we will."

Xuanxuan waved at them, "Grandpa, Grandma, bye-bye..."

...

Half an hour later.

Song Cailian and Huang Yide returned home.

The aunt next door was sitting at the door, sewing shoes. When she saw the couple, she smiled and greeted them, "Oh, Cailian, Yide, back from Tao's place?"

"Yes, Auntie, we just came back from Tao's!"

Song Cailian spoke as she took out her keys to open the door.

Together with Huang Yide, they went inside and put down their luggage bags.

The aunt smiled and asked, "Cailian, how's the business at Tao's place?"

"The business is quite good! The store has hired two people now. We planned to help out on this visit, but unexpectedly didn't help at all and just came back."

"Oh, hiring people, that's great." The aunt was happy for Huang Tao, thinking that since they're hiring, the store business must be pretty good.

Song Cailian thought about how the aunt would always share some good food with them on regular days.

So she took some sliced marinated duck neck and marinated pig's trotters over as a gift.

"Auntie, these are from Tao's restaurant, some marinated snacks for you to try."

"Marinated snacks? Isn't he selling pan-fried buns?"

"He's got pan-fried buns too, and also the marinated snacks."

"Oh~" The aunt nodded and smiled, wiping her hands as she accepted, "Then I won't be polite, I'll give it a try."

She curiously took a bite.

Wanting to see how the marinated snacks from Tao's store tasted.

She took a bite of the marinated pig's trotter.

The aunt's eyes widened instantly!

Delicious!

The flavor is amazing!

And it's very tasty!

It's several times better than the marinated pig's trotters on the market!

Too bad!

Tao's store is in the city, otherwise, she would often go to buy it."

"These marinated snacks are so fragrant. It's the first time I've eaten marinated pig's trotters this delicious. Tsk tsk tsk, what a skillful hand... Cailian, the chef for marinated snacks at Tao's store must not come cheap, right?"

Song Cailian was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Auntie, Tao made these himself."

"Wow..."

The aunt's eyes widened again.

She saw Huang Tao grow up. Although he used to help with cooking at home, when did he even learn to make marinated snacks? And make them so delicious?!

Truly, parting for three days makes you look at someone in a new light!

This child Tao has really made something of himself.

The aunt said enviously, "This child Tao, he's always been reliable, learns well, capable, and ambitious, unlike my grandson, who only knows how to play games all day, doesn't do any work, just idles about..."

Thinking about her not-so-promising grandson, the aunt couldn't help but start complaining furiously.

Meanwhile, her grandson, who was upstairs deeply immersed in playing games, started sneezing like crazy...

Who's talking bad about me behind my back?!

The aunt couldn't help but ask, "Cailian, where did your Tao learn these skills from?"

"Oh him... he learned online."

Song Cailian replied with a cheerful smile.

Though she didn't quite believe it at first, her son's skills were undeniable, making her have to trust it.

"Really? Learned online?"

The aunt looked surprised.

Just learning online can achieve this level of skill?

Maybe she should let her grandson, who only knows how to play games, learn cooking online too?

The aunt's eyes moved.

She had an idea in mind.

She hurried to find her grandson.

...

Monday morning, 8 o'clock.

Ma Deqiang came to the office as usual.

"Good morning, Deputy Director Ma..."

"Morning..."

Many colleagues greeted him with smiles, and he responded politely.

This time, he didn't go directly back to his office, instead, he went to Director Lin Duzhu's office.

"Deputy Director Ma, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

"Indeed, there is something. Director Lin, I've come to talk to you about adding a spot for this food festival's vendors."

"Deputy Director Ma, which vendor are you adding?" asked Lin Duzhu curiously.

"The Delicious Restaurant."

Upon hearing this, Lin Duzhu looked puzzled.

The Delicious Restaurant?

No recollection of it!
