Around one o'clock, Huang Tao's stall stopped selling marinated dishes and roast duck.

It's not that they didn't want to sell.

But they were sold out!

The new marinated dishes were still being braised in the shop; the new roast ducks were still hanging and drying in the shop, waiting to air dry.

The nourishing fish soup and steamed glutinous rice ribs were also almost gone!

The customers in line, upon learning this news, expressed their understanding, saying they would stroll around first and come back later to buy.

As for Jiang Guowei and Jiangling, the father and daughter, they went back after moving the ingredients.

Before leaving, Huang Tao gave each of them some of the new marinated dishes to express his gratitude.

Seeing that most of the customers in line had dispersed, Huang Tao took advantage of this free time to let a few employees rest for a while and have lunch.

Once you're full, you'll have the energy to continue working in the afternoon!

Huang Tao smiled and asked, "For lunch, we'll have fish soup rice cakes, steamed glutinous rice ribs, and the two roast ducks I set aside. Is that okay?"

"That's fine!"

"We couldn't ask for more!"

Even the roast ducks that could be sold for money were purposely saved by the boss for them. Besides, there's the fish soup rice cakes that couldn't be bought even with money. They naturally agreed joyfully.

"As long as it's made by Papa, I love eating it…"

Xuanxuan's beautiful eyes curved into crescents.

In her mind, anything made by her dad was the best in the world!

These words were music to Huang Tao's ears.

Oh my!

This is an obvious statement that there's a kind of delicious food where everything made by dad is delicious. May you always like the meals your dad makes; your dad will also put his heart into cooking for you…

He began to happily prepare lunch… fish soup rice cakes!

He opened the lid of the stainless steel container filled with nourishing fish soup, and used a ladle to scoop the piping hot fish soup into the pot.

He poured the sliced rice cakes into the fish soup, added some mushrooms, and brought it to a boil.

After the rice cakes were cooked until soft and glutinous, and the mushrooms were cooked,

he added some green vegetables and blanched them quickly.

He turned off the heat.

Sprinkled chopped green onions.

Ready to serve.

A pot of fragrant, steaming fish soup rice cakes was ready.

The steps were quite simple.

With both color and aroma, the taste should be quite good.

"Fish soup rice cakes are here…"

With Huang Tao's call, a dish of steaming, fragrant fish soup rice cakes was placed on the temporary folding table.

The white rice cakes, brown mushrooms, lush green vegetables, and thin, translucent fish meat, sprinkled with vibrant green onions, were appetizing just to look at.

"So fragrant, so fragrant, Xuanxuan really wants to eat!"

Xuanxuan's stomach growled at the smell, and she greedily stuck out her little tongue to lick the corner of her lips.

"Alright, Daddy will serve you first."

Seeing her look like a "little glutton," Huang Tao couldn't help but laugh, taking a small bowl and serving her a bowl first.

Seeing that her dad was giving her plenty of rice cakes but very few mushrooms, the little one immediately protested, pouting her pink lips and pointing at the mushrooms in the dish, reminding, "Papa, I want mushrooms, more mushrooms, more mushrooms…"

The little one especially loved all kinds of mushrooms, and now seeing mushrooms, she wished all the mushrooms would come into her bowl.

Huang Tao naturally knew her preferences. He intended to give her more mushrooms after serving, but seeing her urgency, he laughed and said, "Alright, Papa knows…"

Speaking as he placed a good amount of mushrooms in her bowl.

"Thank you, Papa~"

Seeing this, the little one smiled and, holding her small chopsticks, tried to pick up the mushrooms in her bowl.

Lin Yuhan gently reminded, "Be careful, it's hot~"

Huang Tao smiled, grabbed a few napkins, folded them, and fanned the fish soup rice cakes vigorously, stirring gently with a spoon.

A large amount of steam was instantly blown away.

Huang Tao's improvisation and attention to detail made Lin Yuhan, Ding Suqin, Yan Ming, Ji, and even Huang Tao's parents express their admiration with a big "impressed" written on their faces.

"Boss, I don't admire anyone, but I admire you. You're definitely the No.1 in the world of dads, meticulous and considerate!"

Lin Yuhan gave a thumbs up in admiration, thinking that if she and Yan Ming got married and had kids, and if Yan Ming could take care of the child with even half the skill of the boss, she'd be satisfied.

As if sensing her thoughts, Yan Ming took her hand and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be a good dad in the future!"

Huang Tao ignored the lovey-dovey couple and felt the temperature was about right, then smilingly pushed the small bowl toward Xuanxuan, "Xuanxuan, taste and see. If it's still hot, let it cool a bit more."

"Uh-huh~"

Xuanxuan picked up a mushroom, cautiously bringing it to her lips to test the temperature.

Feeling it wasn't hot anymore, she put the entire mushroom into her mouth and began to eat.

The mushroom was very tender, with a silky texture, having absorbed the fish soup's flavor, making it extremely tasty and fresh.

She squinted her eyes, her little nose wrinkling up, "It's not hot, and it's really delicious~"

"Great, then eat a bit more…"

Huang Tao's eyes were filled with soft smiles, gently wiping the soup off her lips with a napkin.

Then, he picked up a large bowl and served a bowl for his parents as well.

Song Cailian and her husband, feeling for their son who had been busy all morning, pushed their portions to him, "Son, you eat first; we can serve ourselves."

"Two bowls I can't finish anyway, let me take this one!"

Huang Tao didn't want to reject his parents' goodness, so he took a bowl and, while eating, told the employees, "Don't just stand there; start eating! It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Everyone was hungry too, so they took no offense and shared the large pot of fish soup rice cakes together.

Yan Ming also served a bowl for Lin Yuhan, thoughtfully using a spoon to stir, dispersing the heat.

Hmm~

How to say!

Watching him do these caring acts for her felt like having a small sun in front of the chest, warming her so that she felt the exhaustion didn't matter, as long as the person in front of her was by her side.

In short, being cared for by someone you love felt so fortunate…

Lin Yuhan, eating the fish soup rice cakes handed by Yan Ming, felt it was not only fresh but also a bit sweet.

Yan Ming too devoured this delayed lunch heartily.

Eating a piece of rice cake, it's so fresh!

Having another mushroom, it's awesome!

He found Huang Tao's fish soup rice cakes particularly delicious!

At this point, everyone was immersed in enjoying the food, leaving only the sound of chewing.

Which drew in the passersby.

Even the waiters from the neighboring stall were peeking in.

Some even couldn't help but come over to inquire.

Inquiring if these rice cakes they were eating were available for sale at the stall?

After learning that this was just the staff meal and not for sale to the public, they couldn't help but reveal a look of disappointment.

The waiters from the neighboring stall even shed tears of envy.

Looking at the employee meal others were having, personally cooked by the boss, complete with color, aroma, and flavor, and even expensive roast duck…

And them!

The employee meals were still at the "pig feed" stage.

Usually consisting of cheap ingredients such as potatoes, greens, cabbage, napa cabbage, tofu, and so on.

As for meat dishes, there were some, but not many…

Moreover, the task of cooking the staff meal was generally assigned to one or two chefs who were not long in the kitchen…

Can the food made like this taste good?

One can only say it's cooked enough not to cause harm…

Now, having seen the so delicious staff meal others were eating, they only wanted to ask one thing.

Boss, are you hiring?
