"Everyone, please make way, please make way..."

When Jiang Guowei helped Yan Ming and the others move braised food and other ingredients over, he was slightly surprised to see the queue in front of the booth.

Wow~

So many people lining up!

It seems Boss Huang's dishes are really popular at the food festival!

That's great!

That's great!

A touch of envy flashed in Jiang Guowei's eyes as he felt happy for Huang Tao.

Seeing this, Huang Tao thanked him, "Jiang, you even went out of your way to help me move things! Thank you!"

"Not really out of my way, I just happened to be around and lent a hand while I was at it."

Jiang Guowei originally planned to support Huang Tao at the food festival. As he was leaving the store, he saw Xu Hao and the others loading braised food ingredients onto a small truck and discussing who would escort them.

Upon hearing this, he proactively volunteered for the task and hitched a ride there.

"Jiang, just place these stainless steel buckets here, Suqin will handle them later." Huang Tao gestured with his eyes while keeping his hands busy.

Jiang Guowei understood instantly!

He quickly followed suit.

Yan Ming and Ji each carried a bucket over as well.

The three of them took turns.

Before long, everything was settled.

"Yan Ming, here, wipe your sweat..." Lin Yuhan took out tissues and gently handed them to Yan Ming, letting him wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Yan Ming grinned foolishly as he accepted the tissue, "My wife does care about me..."

The single Ji, unexpectedly fed a mouthful of love: "..."

"Yuhan, come over and take my place. I need to display the braised food..." Ding Suqin called out as she picked up a stainless steel tray covered with plastic wrap, ready to serve the braised dishes.

"Alright..."

Lin Yuhan responded, smiling warmly at Yan Ming, "I'll go get busy first."

"Go ahead, be careful while packing, don't burn yourself!"

Yan Ming couldn't help but remind her as he recalled how she burned her hand cooking crab and cake for him a few days ago.

"Hmm~"

She gave him a reassuring look, then went to Ding Suqin's side to take over her work, "Suqin, you go ahead! Leave this to me!"

Ding Suqin nodded and handed the stainless steel tray to Yan Ming and Ji, asking them to serve the braised food together.

The covers of the three stainless steel buckets were opened one after another...

In an instant...

The rich aroma of braised food wafted out from the booth, drifting with the wind for hundreds of meters, reaching most of the food festival.

Many food festival visitors involuntarily twitched their noses, sniffing carefully.

This aroma of braised food is really delightful!

Initially, they instinctively thought this strong aroma of braised food came from the Xinglong Restaurant booth around the corner, releasing some new braised dishes!

It's understandable they thought so!

After all, after arriving at the food festival, everyone would usually take a quick look around to see what each booth was selling.

Upon looking around, only the Xinglong Restaurant booth specialized in braised food.

As for why they didn't consider the braised food from the Delicious Restaurant booth, although it was written on the sign, there wasn't a sign of braised food in the booth...

Therefore!

They didn't think of the Delicious Restaurant booth.

Many food lovers who enjoy braised food found themselves salivating when they smelled the intense aroma.

They wanted to eat!

Thus, they all flocked to the Xinglong Restaurant booth.

The chefs and servers at Xinglong Restaurant felt business was coming when they saw so many customers at once.

The server quickly stepped forward, enthusiastically greeting, "What would you like to order? You can queue here to place an order first."

Upon hearing this, the patrons lined up one after another.

However, when they got closer to the aroma of Xinglong Restaurant's braised dishes, they immediately noticed that it was quite different from the aroma they had previously smelled.

How to put this!

The aroma they smelled was very dominating.

It hit straight to the back of the throat.

Just from smelling it, one could be intoxicated and yearn for it.

Yet the braised dishes in front of them, though fragrant, only smelled slightly better than ordinary ones available in the market.

"No, this isn't the right flavor!"

The first customer in line shook their head and then left.

The server: ???

Subsequent customers, after taking a sniff, also showed the same expression.

Then, one by one, they left without hesitation...

The chefs and servers at Xinglong Restaurant looked at their departing backs, all puzzled.

What's going on?

What was wrong with the flavor?

How did these people leave after just a few sniffs?

Were they all trying to "satisfy hunger with an illusion," like the ancient saying "a painting can fill hunger," now replaced with "satisfying hunger with aroma"?

Is this for a short video?

But there's no photographic equipment in sight?

They sniffed again, feeling that the air carried a much more enticing aroma than the braised scent they were used to from the store.

What is the real story here?

Could it be that the longer the food is cooked, the better it smells?

They didn't ponder long, after all, there were other customers to attend to in the store.

They also didn't notice the not-so-distant Delicious Restaurant, which had just released new braised dishes.

Huang Tao and the staff were busily attending to customers.

Various braised foods were brought out.

They were immediately purchased by the queuing customers.

Among them were many who were initially captivated by the nourishing fish soup.

After sampling the roast duck and glutinous rice steamed ribs,

Though their stomachs were nearly full and they claimed they couldn't eat more, they were still reluctant to leave.

Their bodies were very honest!

When the aroma reached them, they couldn't help but order one of each braised item again...

Upon tasting the richly braised chicken feet...

Wow!

The chicken feet were completely cooked until tender, just a gentle bite, and the bone and meat separated.

Marinated to perfection and incredibly tender with a delightful bounce, aromatic and irresistibly delicious!

"Delicious, this marinade is amazing, I'm definitely buying some more to take home for my family to try..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this marinade is authentic... This is definitely the best marinade I've ever had..."

Customers who already had the marinated delicacies were savoring them with relish, even ignoring the marinade stains on their faces.

They even wished they could grow eight stomachs to eat more of the delicacies from the Delicious Restaurant.

The diners who went to smell the fragrance at Xinglong Restaurant followed the aroma and saw those customers happily enjoying the marinated delights.

They sniffed hard at the tip of their noses.

"Yes, this is the smell..."

"That's right, this aroma is indeed coming from this restaurant."

Having confirmed their target, they all gathered and joined the long queue to buy the marinated delights.

The queue unknowingly grew longer and stronger.

How long has it been!

This line of customers never ended and kept growing longer.

Huang Tao's booming business made the surrounding food stall chefs insanely envious.

The chefs craned their necks to take a look.

Just how delicious is the food from his restaurant?

Why do customers, after a taste, come back for more, almost eating to their fill, yet unwilling to leave, still wanting to buy more?

And why is the marinade from his restaurant so fragrant!

Many chefs in these food stalls are the best chefs from major hotels and restaurants.

They are also quite renowned in the local chef community.

They participate in every food festival.

They have rich experience!

They have outstanding culinary skills!

The food they make has also garnered many repeat customers.

Many who come to the food festival to try the delicacies come specifically for their food.

But even their repeat customer rate doesn't compare to this unknown small restaurant!

An unknown small restaurant makes its debut at the food festival and wins the favor of so many diners.

The surrounding chefs couldn't help but wonder, just how delicious is the food from this restaurant?

To the left of Huang Tao is Taste Memory, which initially had a good business in the morning.

But later, they gradually discovered that their business wasn't doing so well.

Many customers, when they arrived in this area, were attracted by the delicacies at the Delicious Restaurant stand.

Many people didn't even glance at their grilled abalone and grilled squid...

The head chef of Taste Memory was a bit curious, is the food next door really that good?

"Hu, come here for a minute, I have something to tell you."

He called his apprentice Hu over, wanting him to go next door to buy something to eat and bring it back for study.

As someone who has cooked food all his life, he wanted to see why the food next door was so attractive.

Hu asked perplexedly, "Master, what's the matter?"

"Go next door and buy some marinated food, fish soup, and roast duck."

"Ah..."

Hu's mouth dropped open in surprise, wide enough to fit a duck egg.

His always proud master actually wanted to taste a competitor's food?!

Today's sun must have risen from the west?

However, while moving ingredients earlier, Hu had also noticed the stand next door.

Customers next door, after receiving their orders, stood by enjoying their food.

Every face was beaming with a smile of happiness and joy.

Some exaggerated customers, upon tasting the food, even couldn't help but close their eyes and savor it!

Hu was also someone who loved eating.

Due to work, he had tried many delicious foods, but never had such a blissfully indulgent expression.

Nor had he seen such a reaction from the customers of any shop.

From the expressions on those customers' faces, he knew that this wasn't an act but genuine emotion.

It puzzled him, was the food from this stand really that delicious?

Since his master had spoken, he naturally rushed over to queue and buy from next door.

Initially, due to competition, the head chef of Taste Memory wanted Hu to discreetly go without letting the boss of the neighboring stand know that he was from Taste Memory.

But he never expected his apprentice to not even bother with disguising himself.

He directly went to queue wearing his Taste Memory chef uniform.

The head chef of Taste Memory was a bit speechless.

Why did he take on such a naive apprentice?!

Does he not understand industry competition!

After waiting quite a while, Hu quickly returned to his stand with the takeout boxes.

Hu happily smiled, "Master, I bought what you wanted."

"Everyone come over and have a taste, see why the food next door is so delicious."

The head chef of Taste Memory invited other chefs to come over and try.

Gathered around, each chef picked up chopsticks and spoons and began tasting.

"Wow, this fish soup is really too good, no wonder those customers want another bowl after finishing one."

"Wow! This roast duck is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, rich but not greasy, very delicious, and the knife skills are amazing too~"

"Tsk tsk tsk, this marinade, smelling it this close, is simply entrancing! The juice flowing from the tear in the marinated chicken drumstick just tells you the taste will be amazing, and sure enough, the aroma of the marinade deeply penetrates the drumstick, complementing perfectly."

Listening to the endless stream of compliments from his subordinates, the head chef of Taste Memory felt a whirlwind of emotions.

He had been the head chef at Taste Memory for over a decade and had never heard such high praise from them!

After just one bite of the food from the stand next door, the reaction from his subordinates was so intense.

How could he maintain his composure!

Not convinced, he fiercely took a bite of the roast duck and was immediately stunned.

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with a rich and uniquely delicious flavor...

Delicious!

Absolutely delicious!

"You're right, this roast duck is indeed very good..."

The head chef of Taste Memory and his subordinates excitedly scrambled for the food in the takeout boxes.

In the end.

They didn't leave a speck.

Not even a drop of the fish soup was left...
