This is the power of food.

It's also an affirmation of Huang Tao's cooking skills by the customers.

Huang Tao watched as more and more customers came to line up for purchase, feeling truly delighted inside, but his face remained calm as water, staying focused on preparing the food.

Bowl after bowl of nourishing fish soup, under his skilled hands.

Freshly served!

Then Ding Suqin swiftly packed them up and handed them to the customers.

Everything proceeded in an orderly manner!

Meanwhile, on the other side, with a "ding-dong" sound, the button on the automatic roasting machine switched to "off".

Wisps of aroma floated out, wafting within the stall.

"Boss, the machine switched to 'off', is it done roasting?"

Yan Ming, who was in charge of the roast duck, stood in front of the automatic roasting machine, leaning down to glance inside through the door.

Since it was his first time using this high-tech product, he asked Huang Tao uncertainly.

"Yes, but don't open it yet. Wait for the temperature to drop a bit before opening it."

Saying this, Huang Tao immediately put down what he was doing, took two steps in one, and went over to Yan Ming's side to check the roast duck.

Hey, hey, hey, boss, where's my fish soup?

Boss, my mouth is almost watering!

Huang Tao looked through the door and saw that the roast duck was a dazzling red, glistening with oil, and the skin had become completely crispy.

Perfect!

He reminded Yan Ming, "Put on gloves before taking it out, to avoid burns."

"Okay~"

Yan Ming put on padded gloves and opened the machine door.

As soon as he opened it...

A thick aroma of roast duck rose with the steam.

It was extremely strong.

The customers at the front of the stall caught the distinctive, rich aroma of roast meat, different from fish soup.

Wow!

This smell is so good!

They greedily inhaled the aroma of the roast meat in the air.

Just smelling it made their mouths uncontrollably water.

Ding Suqin looked at the customers in front; their eyes were fixed on the freshly roasted golden crispy duck, their eyes wide open!

"It smells so good... Boss, how much is this roast duck?" A tall man in the front, seeing the finished roast duck and smelling the aroma, couldn't help but ask.

Hearing someone inquire about the price, Xuanxuan perked up and pointed with a smile to a mobile whiteboard next to her, "Sir, the prices are over here."

The tall man craned his neck to look...

Half a duck for 98 yuan, a whole one for 188 yuan.

It's a bit pricey!

He wasn't the only one who felt this way; a few in the front also thought it was a bit expensive when they saw the prices clearly.

Lin Yuhan noticed their hesitation and explained with a smile, "Everyone, the roast ducks at our shop are all made from local live ducks, so the flavor is very delicious and definitely worth the price."

Upon hearing that they were made from local live ducks, everyone felt the price was acceptable.

Moreover, having tasted the wonderful flavor of the nourishing fish soup, they naturally had trust in the shop's skills.

"Then give me half a duck!"

"I'll have half as well..."

All of a sudden, many customers who had already tasted the delicious fish soup and were originally planning to continue ordering it, were tempted to try the roast duck, attracted by its alluring color and aroma.

"Alright, please wait a moment~"

Wearing disposable gloves, Huang Tao picked up a whole roast duck, a dazzling red glistening with oil, and placed it on the table, holding the duck's neck with his left hand and a knife with his right, ready to carve the roast duck.

His silver, sharp blade sliced into the bright red, shiny roast duck, cutting through the skin effortlessly.

Instantly revealing the tender, white meat inside.

His wrist moved swiftly, skillfully carving out a slice of skin with meat, thin and unbroken.

The skin crispy, the meat tender and juicy, accompanied by trickles of steaming hot white vapors.

"Gulp~"

The customers in line stared at the sight, their throats moving up and down, swallowing the steadily flowing saliva.

Yet, Huang Tao remained calm and composed, his wrist agile, his knife dancing swiftly through the air.

Slice after slice of duck was neatly placed in the two takeaway boxes Ding Suqin handed over.

Each piece was uniformly sized like lilac leaves.

The entire roast duck, under his expert knife skills, gradually revealed its skeletal structure.

More and more of it was exposed.

More and more of it was exposed.

Finally.

The entire roast duck was sliced clean, leaving not a shred of meat on the bones.

This precise control almost blinded the front-row customers with its sheer brilliance.

They watched the visually stunning carving and couldn't help but praise it.

"Wow! Every slice with skin and meat intact, thin and consistent in size and thickness, the knife skills... amazing!"

"Indeed, such knife skills are impressive!"

"These skills are even better than the duck carvers at Quanjude..."

"Just watching the boss carve the duck is a visual treat!"

"The boss's knife skills are top-notch, and the presentation is beautiful. This roast duck indeed gives off a sense of sophistication!"

"Indeed, if you don't mention it, everyone would think it's from some five-star hotel!"

"Not at all! Just the color and aroma of this roast duck and the skill in slicing are far better than those of a five-star hotel's roast duck!"

After Huang Tao finished slicing the roast duck, Ding Suqin packed the sweet flour sauce, cucumber strips, shredded green onions, and thin pancakes that were prepared earlier in a separate package, placed them all in a plastic bag, and handed them to the customer who had already paid.

Once the customers received them, they moved to the side.

They couldn't even bother with the proper way of wrapping the duck in pancakes with sauce; each of them eagerly picked up a piece of roast duck to taste first,

tasting it.

With a crispy outside and tender inside, fatty but not greasy!

Delicious!

They were all lost in the fragrant and crispy roast duck.

As they were eating the roast duck, an old lady with reading glasses, who hadn't bought roast duck earlier, unknowingly wandered near Huang Tao's stall again with the crowd.

As she got closer, she smelled a rich aroma of roast meat: "Why does this smell so good?"

She saw a few people not far ahead happily enjoying their food, recognized one of them as her neighbor, and smiled as she approached.

"Hey, Old Ding, what are you eating? Enjoying yourself so much?"

"Roast duck!"

"Roast duck?"

The old lady with reading glasses was taken aback, looked at the roast duck in his takeout dish, the color was rich and bright, looked delicious, and she couldn't help but ask, "Old Ding, can I have a piece to taste?"

The neighbor called Old Ding, though reluctant, considering their years of neighborhood friendship, still shared a piece for her to taste.

Tasting it.

The light in her once cloudy eyes suddenly gleamed.

"Oh my gosh!"

This roast duck is so delicious!

Immediately captivated by the flavor of the roast duck, she eagerly asked, "Old Ding, where did you buy this roast duck? It tastes really good!"

"Hey, I got it from this stall called So Delicious..."

The old lady with reading glasses followed his finger...

Looking at the familiar posters, familiar people.

"Oh my gosh~"

This store, she had just visited earlier.

Unexpectedly, their roast duck was so delicious.

Looking at the people in line, shouting about ordering roast duck.

What are you waiting for?

Just buy it!

She quickly rushed over to join the line.

Didn't watch the step of slaughtering live ducks?

Who cares about live duck slaughtering!

Completely forgotten now!

Now, only the food matters!

Old Ding, after being stunned for two seconds, saw her already lined up to make a purchase, understood that she too was conquered by the delicious roast duck.

However, he was also relieved that she went to line up, otherwise, the half-box of roast duck in his hand might not have been safe.

"Boss, I also want a roast duck," the old lady with reading glasses shouted from the back, fearing that by the time she got to the stall, the roast duck would be sold out.

So, she decided to speak up first.

"Boss, I want half a duck and also a bowl of nutritious fish soup."

"I want one whole duck."

The other customers, seeing this, with the same thought, also shouted.

As if not doing so,

they wouldn't be able to buy the roast duck.

At this moment, in front of the So Delicious stall, such a lively scene unfolded.

Many customers, still dozens of meters away from the stall, were loudly shouting to buy roast duck.

"Could everyone please queue orderly..."

With nothing else to do, Huang Yide wanted to do something for his son, so he smiled and stepped forward to maintain the onsite order.

After all, if anything went wrong, it would be a loss.

Facing the enthusiastic purchase requests from these lovely customers, Huang Tao naturally couldn't respond to each of them individually.

He could only go by the order of the queue.

Continuing his work without pause, he smiled and said, "Everyone, please queue up, one at a time, we've prepared a large supply of ingredients today, so everyone will get to buy."

Upon hearing Huang Tao's words, the customers quieted down and stopped shouting.

After all, shouting was useless!

The queue still needed to be formed.

Huang Tao was now completely busy, focusing solely on preparing the food.

The rest of the trivial tasks were handled by Ding Suqin and three temporary college student workers.

With the roast duck and nutritious fish soup receiving more and more praise, the sales of lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs also picked up.

Of course, many attendees of the food festival came having heard about this stall and directly rushed over here.

Because of the word-of-mouth praise, coupled with the store's appealing food, many customers eagerly bought a portion to taste, and after tasting, couldn't resist buying more of the other foods.

This led to a constant line of customers in front of the So Delicious stall.

Meanwhile, on the host stage of the food festival, drums were beating, and music was playing, creating a very lively atmosphere.

Many people followed the sound.

Heading towards the host stage.

Wanting to join the excitement.
