The sun was wrapped in thin clouds, emitting a faint and dazzling white light.

The breakfast queue showed no sign of decreasing.

And everyone ordering was choosing to try the new shrimp and pork bun.

Each person was starting with at least ten!

Fortunately, Huang Tao had foresight, focusing on the new filling for this morning's buns, with other fillings secondary, otherwise, they might not have been able to keep up with demand.

They kept busy until around 7:40 in the morning, when the queue finally ended.

The last few customers stayed in the store to eat, attentively enjoying the shrimp and pork buns and congee with preserved egg and lean meat.

Huang Tao glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was time to take Xuanxuan to school!

After exchanging a few words with Xu Hao and others, he picked up a backpack and a small water bottle, walked over to Xuanxuan's table, and said softly: "Xuanxuan, let's go, Daddy will take you to kindergarten now!"

"Huh?"

Xuanxuan was enthusiastically playing with her Barbie doll and couldn't bear to leave for school just yet. She looked up, blinking her eyes, a bit pleadingly at her dad, and said: "Dad, I still want to play a little longer with my Barbie doll. Can I go to kindergarten a bit later?"

He shook his head, gently refusing her request: "No, otherwise you'll be late for school."

"Boohoo~ Please, Daddy!"

The little girl used her ultimate move, pretending to be pitiful.

She pitifully blinked her eyes hard, trying to squeeze out some nonexistent tears to awaken the soft spot of fatherly love in her dad.

Hmm~

But why despite trying so hard, she still couldn't cry?

Huang Tao saw her trying to pretend to cry but failing to squeeze out a single tear, and couldn't help but let out a laugh.

Xuanxuan: (,,•́.•̀,,)

"You, you!"

He helplessly stretched out his hand and lightly flicked her little forehead: "After school, you can come back and play in the store as long as you want, okay?"

"Alright then!"

Xuanxuan thought for a moment, nodded her head, agreeing.

Huang Tao reached out to hold her small hand and was about to head to the door when he saw the store door suddenly pushed open.

Jiang Guowei hurriedly walked in, eagerly asking as soon as he saw him: "Boss Huang, I heard on the way here that you launched a new filling for the buns this morning?"

Before Huang Tao could answer, Xuanxuan spoke up: "Yes, Uncle Jiang, my daddy made shrimp and pork buns, they're delicious!"

"Are there any left to sell?"

Jiang Guowei's eyes were filled with immense longing and anticipation, but seeing only a few customers dining inside and no queue, he immediately understood.

It's over!

Sold out!

He felt truly sad!

He also deeply regretted not waking up earlier to try the new filling bun.

And regretted not telling Huang Tao earlier to save some for him.

Huang Tao, seeing Jiang Guowei's regretful and disappointed expression, couldn't help but smile: "Jiang, don't worry, I saved some for you!"

Jiang Guowei was overjoyed: "Good brother, you actually saved some for me, thank you, thank you!"

He smiled slightly: "No need to thank me, we are neighbors, saving some of the new product for you to try is quite normal, isn't it? Besides, thanks for helping out during the food festival the other day."

Jiang Guowei chuckled: "It's nothing, just a little effort, really."

Huang Tao, remembering his plan for the morning, smiled and asked: "Jiang, I'm thinking of buying a self-service ordering and ticket machine and a catering ordering cash register, do you know anyone?"

Jiang Guowei thought for a moment, and said: "Yes, I have a friend who specializes in this, I bought my cash register from him. I'll ask him for you now."

"You go have your breakfast first, I already asked Haozi to prepare the bun for you, just go find him."

Seeing the time was getting late, Huang Tao, smiling, said: "Once you've eaten, take some time to call for me, I have to take Xuanxuan to school now, let's talk more later."

After saying a few words of thanks, Jiang Guowei went to find Xu Hao.

The diners in the shop earnestly felt that if there were a Huaxia good neighbor award, Huang Tao would definitely be recognized.

Of course.

In their hearts, they were quite envious of Jiang Guowei.

At least he, being a neighbor, didn't have to queue to eat the new filling bun that Boss Huang reserved for him.

Speaking of which.

They wondered if they could still buy the shop next door to start a small business and become neighbors with Boss Huang?

They only sighed, not knowing the contact information of the shop next door.

Otherwise, they would really like to give it a shot.

Of course, Huang Tao was unaware of the diners' thoughts, as he had already dropped Xuanxuan off at kindergarten.

There, he met Ye Wen.

She had also put on a long and thick down jacket, with only her slender ankles exposed, wearing a pair of small white shoes.

"Good morning!"

Seeing Huang Tao, Ye Wen smiled and greeted him proactively.

Huang Tao smiled, "Good morning, Ye."

Xuanxuan's eyes curved into crescents as she waved her little gloved hand, "Good morning, Ye!"

"Morning!"

Ye Wen also waved back and looked at Huang Tao with a gentle smile, "Mr. Xuan, I'll take care of Xuanxuan and help her get into the kindergarten."

"Thank you, Ye!"

"You're welcome..."

Ye Wen smiled softly, took Xuanxuan's backpack and water bottle from Huang Tao's hand, and reached out to Xuanxuan, "Xuanxuan, let's go."

Xuanxuan held Ye Wen's hand with her left hand and waved to Huang Tao with her right, her smile sweet, "Bye-bye, Daddy, come early this afternoon~"

"Okay!"

Huang Tao nodded and reminded, "Listen to the teachers well at kindergarten, and if you feel hot during indoor activities, take off your coat."

Truly, sending a daughter to kindergarten leaves a father full of worries!

Xuanxuan nodded like a little chick pecking rice, "Mhm."

Ye Wen couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Xuan, with me here, you can rest assured!"

"Okay!"

Huang Tao smiled, thinking the sudden drop in temperature had triggered the symptoms of his new father syndrome again.

Indeed!

With Ye looking after her, he should be assured.

Besides, Xuanxuan's self-care skills have improved significantly recently; she definitely knows these little things.

Thinking this.

He decisively rode away on his electric bike without looking back.

He didn't notice that as he was leaving, Xuanxuan, holding Ye's hand, turned back to look at him while heading to the kindergarten gate.

Seeing her dad ride away, her pretty eyes curved.

Daddy, see you this afternoon~

Then obediently followed Ye Wen into the kindergarten to start the morning check-in.

Meanwhile, Huang Tao rode his electric bike back to the store.

Jiang Guowei saw him return and immediately walked out of the convenience store, smiling, "Boss Huang, I asked my friend about your request. He has it; with all the parts, it's 6500."

Saying this, he opened WeChat and showed their chat record to Huang Tao.

This price is even lower than the one quoted in the flagship store.

"Alright, I'll take it."

"I'll have him come over to install it for you at 2 PM, okay?"

"No problem, thanks!"

"No need to be polite! Just wait for the delivery!"

"Okay, come by for Yellow Croaker Noodles at noon!"

"Wow, launching a new product? Sure, I'll be there at noon to try it."

"Yes!"

Huang Tao nodded with a smile.

Just then, the vendors delivered the ingredients Huang Tao needed for lunch.

"Boss Huang, I've brought you the small yellow croakers and swimming crabs; please check the goods!"

The seafood vendor who arrived first smiled cheerfully and added, "Today's sudden drop in temperature caused a slight increase in seafood prices, but since you're my regular customer, I won't raise the price for you and will charge you the original price we agreed upon."

"Thanks for that!"

Huang Tao expressed his gratitude and began to inspect the goods.

The skin of the small yellow croakers shimmered with a golden sheen, and they were all about the same size.

They were clearly carefully selected.

The swimming crabs were also plump and didn't suffer in quality despite the stable prices.

This seafood vendor is genuine and trustworthy, definitely worth continued business.

Huang Tao also checked the other goods.

The quality was as consistently good as ever.

Inspection complete.

Everyone helped with unloading and transporting the goods.

Before the fish vendor left, Huang Tao also inquired about the grass carp.

He learned they had been kept fresh as per his instructions for the past two days.

Huang Tao instructed them to be delivered by noon tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be the time to launch West Lake Vinegar Fish!
