The Huang family exited through entrance B and didn't walk far to the right before they saw the temporary stage set up not far ahead.
"Papa, papa, look, there's a stage over there~"
Xuanxuan excitedly stretched out her chubby little hand, pointing at the temporary stage with a look full of joy and a hint of surprise in her voice: "Eh? There's also a pot!"
Huang Tao chuckled as he held her, saying, "That's the 'live cooking demonstration' stage."
"Oh~ I know now!"
She rubbed her small face against Huang Tao's shoulder, her big bright eyes full of cleverness: "Is daddy going to cook on that stage later?"
"Yes~"
Huang Tao mimicked her way of speaking, causing the little one to giggle like silver bells, laughing so hard she nearly tumbled over.
Huang Tao watched Xuanxuan, slightly tightening his grip as he held her with one hand, while his other hand protected her small head to prevent her from accidentally hurting herself with too much excitement.
This drew the attention of some passersby who looked at the father and daughter pair with a trace of envy in their eyes.
"This father and daughter duo have such high appearance value!"
"So heartwarming, the dad is so attentive! Looks so loving!"
"I wonder which woman is so lucky to marry such a handsome husband and have such a beautiful daughter."
Unfortunately!
Huang Tao didn't hear their admiring voices.
It's fortunate he didn't hear them.
Otherwise, it would bring back some sad memories for him again!
At this moment!
The Huang family arrived at the demonstration site.
As soon as he appeared.
Two staff members, busy on site, immediately recognized him.
Both stopped their work and quickly greeted him with a smile.
"Boss Huang, you're here! I was just thinking about whether to find you at the Delicious Restaurant booth, didn't expect you'd come here early, your sense of timing is impeccable!" said a staff member in a black suit and black-framed glasses, reaching out with a grin.
He smiled, shook hands and said, "I thought since the time was almost here, I'd come over to prepare a bit."
"Hello, Boss Huang!"
The other staff member in a black suit with hair gel also smiled and stepped forward to shake hands, noticing the two middle-aged people with Huang Tao and asking, "Are these two... your family?"
Huang Tao nodded with a smile, "Yes, my dad and mom."
"Oh! So these are your parents! Hello, Uncle and Auntie!"
Both staff members warmly shook hands with Huang Yide and his wife, "I'll arrange for Uncle and Auntie to sit in the central position in the front row so they can see better."
This arrangement pleased Huang Yide and his wife greatly.
The two elders gratefully said, "Thank you so much!"
"No problem, it's my duty!"
The staff member in black-framed glasses smiled, then looked at Huang Tao, saying, "Boss Huang, we've prepared the ingredients you wanted. You can go check if there's anything missing or doesn't meet your requirements, just let us know."
After speaking, he gestured with his hand in a polite manner.
Huang Tao thanked them, "Okay, thank you!"
Xuanxuan also politely thanked, "Uncle, thank you for helping my daddy prepare the ingredients."
Such good upbringing!
And so sweet-mouthed!
Unlike his own son, who can't do anything but mischief, making him jump on the edge of yelling every day.
It's really exhausting!
Ah!
Why didn't he have a sweet, pretty little daughter like this?
He almost wanted to rush home to make another baby with his wife.
But such a thought only flashed in his mind and then was extinguished.
Better forget it!
Even if they had another child!
It wouldn't grow up like this.
After all, genes are too important!
"You're welcome, so good!"
The staff member in black-framed glasses smiled as he patted Xuanxuan on the head, then took a candy out of his pocket and handed it to her, "Here, Uncle gives you a candy."
Daddy said, you can't eat candy from a stranger!
But is this uncle, who they just met, a stranger?
Xuanxuan blinked and didn't reach out but looked at her dad.
"If Uncle gives it to you, then you take it!"
Her dad spoke, and she happily took it, politely saying, "Thank you, Uncle~"
"Let's go check the ingredients."
After entrusting Xuanxuan to his parents, Huang Tao followed the staff member in black-framed glasses onto the stage.
Meanwhile, his parents and Xuanxuan were seated at the central position in the front row by the staff member with gelled hair.
Huang Tao approached the temporary stove to inspect the prepared ingredients.
There's no denying!
The team's competence deserves recognition.
The ingredients are all as required.
He nodded with a smile, "No problem, let's proceed with what you've prepared!"
While he was talking with the staff member in black-framed glasses, a cameraman from the TV station's news channel was looking for an ideal angle at one side of the stage.
And the beautiful host Liu Qianqian, dressed in a champagne-colored gown, gracefully walked towards the stage with a microphone in hand.
The staff member in black-framed glasses saw Liu Qianqian approaching and introduced her to Huang Tao with a smile, "Oh~ Let me introduce, this is the beautiful host from the news channel, Liu Qianqian, also known as Big Streamer Liu."
"Liu Big Streamer, this here is the owner and chef of Delicious Restaurant, Boss Huang Tao."
Liu Qianqian, upon hearing the introduction, was shocked. She hadn't expected that the chef rumored to make drool-worthy snacks and roast duck better than Quanjude at the Delicious Restaurant booth was actually a young and handsome boss.
Both she and the cameraman beside her were stunned, their jaws almost dropping to their shoes.
Boss Huang looks so young, only about 26 or 27 years old!
He looks about her age!
She had always thought he was a bit older, given the high praise in the rumors.
Turns out she judged wrong...
Huang Tao saw her in a daze and politely said, "Hello, Big Streamer Liu, nice to meet you!"
"Hello, Boss Huang, the pleasure is mine! I didn't expect Boss Huang to be so young yet have such excellent culinary skills." Liu Qianqian spoke with a smile, her words still carrying a hint of surprise.
He glanced at Liu Qianqian and said with a smile, "You flatter me, you're even more impressive, becoming the station's mainstay at such a young age."
"Boss Huang, you're too kind. I'm still just a newbie who started working less than two years ago, not any main pillar of the station!"
She laughed, covering her mouth while a perfect curve appeared at the corner of her lips, exuding a hint of ambition.
Despite being called Big Streamer Liu by the outside world, it was only because those who worked with her gave her a lift.
She was not famous, and walking on the street, few would recognize her.
She was not particularly favored in the station either.
They found her lacking in ability!
"Time is running out, both of you should get prepared, it starts in 15 minutes," the staff member in the black-framed glasses reminded.
"Okay, we know!" Huang Tao and Liu Qianqian nodded.
"Boss Huang, what dish will you be making?"
"West Lake Vinegar Fish."
This is a very famous dish in Zhejiang cuisine!
She was a bit surprised and quite looking forward to it!
By now, quite a few customers had gradually taken seats to watch the "live demonstration" below the stage.
All attracted by Huang Tao's culinary skills!
