"Is it this place?"

"Seeing all these people queuing, it can't be wrong."

In the line, there were many faces just over twenty years old.

These were all students from Lijiang University.

They came because they were tempted after watching Cai Jiajia's livestream.

But the line was just too long!

If they weren't drawn by the overpowering aroma of spiced food mixed with the enticing scent of pan-fried buns, they wouldn't have waited here.

After all, queuing, to be honest, seems like a pure waste of time and life.

Of course!

To taste delicious food, they had no choice but to queue!

After a good while,

it finally came to the earliest batch of university students.

"Wow... just the smell is amazing! And it looks great too; it was definitely worth coming early. If we were late, there'd be no chance."

"I didn't fully believe the posts before, until I saw the livestream of the host and her roommate eating. It made me so hungry I came right over, and now I finally get to try it."

"Luckily, I was foresighted and rushed here instantly when I saw the host eating immersively."

"Yeah! Who cares if people aren't as good as before? Getting to eat great food is the real deal."

The four guys, all roommates from the same class, talked as they followed the line to the counter, glancing sympathetically at the few remaining dishes and then at the fellow students outside the shop.

You guys!

You're probably going to run here for nothing, no chance!

Behind them, the line of girls kept their eyes glued to Huang Tao, almost sticking to his face.

Chattering away with infatuated expressions.

"Wow... the boss is really handsome!"

"When I saw the boss's hands on the livestream, so slender and defined, I knew he'd be good-looking. Seeing him now, he really lives up to his hands!"

"Yeah~ he's really handsome..."

"I don't know if the pan-fried buns are tasty, but the boss sure is handsome!"

Huang Tao listened casually, understanding.

These students came because they watched Cai Jiajia's livestream!

It seems Cai Jiajia might be their schoolmate!

Without any gossiping, he simply smiled and asked the male student in front, "What would you like?"

"Boss, give me two beef fillings, two pork-filled pan-fried buns, a bowl of century egg and lean pork porridge, and a braised pig trotter."

"I'll have the same as him!"

"I'll take that too; I can't eat any more."

The remark caught the attention of the regular customers.

They turned to look at the four students and smiled.

Can't finish it?

That's a joke!

This amount isn't even enough to fill the gaps between your teeth.

They'll finish it, be unsatisfied, come back to buy more, and find they can't get any...

But these regulars, unlike before, didn't mention a word of warning.

Because they've suffered from spreading enthusiasm too wildly!

Now, they've learned their lesson to be low-key.

Learn to lie low.

Learn to be indifferent.

In short, staying low-key is the way!

University students: o_O???

Why do those customers' smiles seem a bit off?

And their gazes towards them were strange.

Very unusual!

Then again, they were here to compete for food.

It's normal if they're upset deep down.

The four who paid looked at the crispy golden, steaming pan-fried buns, unable to resist taking a bite...

As soon as the bun was bitten, the juice burst in their mouths!

A small pan-fried bun could have such abundant juice!

Even though they were prepared for it, they were completely stunned...

After taking a bite, they couldn't help but exclaim in awe!

"Damn, this pan-fried bun is delicious!"

"Amazing! It's the best beef pan-fried bun I've ever had!"

"The host didn't deceive me!"

At this moment, they were working with both hands.

Such delicious food, not eating it quickly,

is just wasting precious life!

They wished they had ten hands, each holding a pan-fried bun, braised pig trotter, and century egg and lean pork porridge.

Without caring about their image, they stood next to the shop's door, continuing their feast.

At this time, one of the students, Yan Ming, suddenly felt a strong gaze.

He looked down to see a small yellow cat standing in front of him.

It looked eagerly at him.

Or rather, at the pan-fried bun in his hand.

Oh!

It's drooling and wants a bite?!

Instinctively, Yan Ming tried to stuff the last pan-fried bun into his mouth.

"Meow~"

The little yellow cat, noticing the two-legged creature watching it, meowed at Yan Ming.

Then...

With a backward flip, it did a somersault.

"Whoa! This little yellow cat can do backflips, impressive..."

Yan Ming's eyes involuntarily widened, his mouth opened, and the bun he was biting on...

"Plop!"

Fell to the ground.

The little yellow cat, ready for some time, saw this and darted over.

Grabbed it and ran!

Didn't look back!

Yan Ming: !!!

Damn!

The last pan-fried bun got eaten by a cat!

"What's going on! Are cats nowadays so smart?"

"Wow, this cat really pulled off a stunt to get a bite!"

Yan Ming regretted it, regretted opening his mouth.

Now, if I queue again, will I still get more?

Judging by the line, looks tough.

As he hesitated about re-queuing, he heard Huang Tao apologize: "Sorry everyone, we're sold out. Come back tonight."

Once these words were out.

The shop fell silent instantly.

The expressions of a few office workers in line and the university students who just arrived changed from expectation to despair.

Yan Ming felt heartbroken, unable to breathe.

Little yellow cat, come back, give me back my pan-fried bun!

Those outside queuing didn't know what happened.

They saw the people in front turn around: "Hey, buddy, let me tell you a horror story. Boss Huang's food, all sold out."

"Gone? All gone?!"

"No way..."

The collective groans echoed across West City Old Street.

Scaring the birds in the trees to flutter away.

...

Zheng's Breakfast Shop's new employee Qiaohong was quite lucky, managing to get some pan-fried buns with three fillings and century egg and lean pork porridge.

But she felt a bit regretful.

Regretting not buying more to try back then!

Just the smell alone was incredibly enticing!

Now looking at the golden crispy pan-fried buns in her hand, her mouth watered!

Somewhat regretfully heading back to Zheng's Breakfast Shop.

Back at the shop.

She quietly entered the kitchen and softly said, "Boss lady, I got the pan-fried buns and the century egg and lean pork porridge you wanted."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fugui, Lin Xiue, and the shop's chef all came over.

"Try some!"

Zheng Fugui and the others each took a pan-fried bun and stuffed it into their mouths.

The moment they bit through the bun's skin, their expressions turned to surprise.

They had always suspected that Huang Tao's pan-fried buns had some special ingredient.

But now, after tasting, they confirmed it was just normal ingredients.

But the taste was genuinely delicious!

Having made breakfast for so many years, they still had some discerning ability.

Zheng Fugui looked at the chef beside him: "Can you replicate the taste of what he made?"

"Probably a bit difficult!"

"Can you improve it then?" Lin Xiue asked.

"I can, based on his stuffing, adjust my formula a bit, and it should turn out well, definitely tastier than before."

"Then get to it, aim to have it ready by tomorrow..."
