At this moment, Huang Tao, who had sold out even earlier than at noon, heard the system prompt sound that had been dormant in his mind for a long time.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the main task: Sold 3000 fried buns in a week.]
[Reward: Random Culinary Skill - Steamed Pork Ribs with Glutinous Rice and Lotus Leaf.]
[You can now make the best Steamed Pork Ribs with Glutinous Rice and Lotus Leaf in the world.]
In an instant.
Huang Tao's mind was filled with the experience and knowledge of making Steamed Pork Ribs with Glutinous Rice and Lotus Leaf!
New skill acquired.
Huang Tao thought, after the business ends tomorrow morning, he'll take a stroll at the market to see if there's any lotus leaf for sale.
If so, he'll purchase some to take home.
Then tomorrow at noon, he'll launch the new product - Steamed Pork Ribs with Glutinous Rice and Lotus Leaf!
Along with a new flavor of fried bun at noon tomorrow.
After all, no matter how much customers like the three flavors of fried buns we have now, they might get tired of them over time.
Besides, he's now adapted to the high-intensity work and his speed at making fried buns has improved!
A slight increase in workload is still within his capacity!
So, the new flavor of fried buns needs to be put on the agenda!
Just then, he felt a small hand grabbing his arm.
No need to guess, he knew who it was.
Sure enough, Xuanxuan's chubby little hand pointed to the door: "Papa, look, a kitty!"
Huang Tao looked toward the door and smiled.
This little one is treating his place as a regular meal ticket!
Quite a few customers eating in the shop also looked up at the sound, noticing it immediately.
As Zhou Hong, who was closest to it, turned to look at it, the little yellow cat showed off its special skill...
It did a backflip.
"Whoa! This little cat..."
Astonished!
The beef-filled fried bun that Zhou Hong was holding and was about to eat slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a "thud."
The little yellow cat seized the opportunity and leaped over...
However...
In the end, it was a step too late.
Zhou Hong, with lightning speed, picked up the beef-filled fried bun from the ground before it could.
The little yellow cat, not expecting it to miss, looked up at him doubtfully as he blew on the fried bun.
Other customers also looked at him in unison.
Huang Tao couldn't help but smile.
This cat has met its match tonight!
Xuanxuan, who had been dumbstruck, came back to her senses and excitedly grabbed Huang Tao's arm: "Papa, papa, the kitty can do a backflip..."
"Daddy saw it..."
Huang Tao gently patted the back of her head.
When she saw Zhou Hong about to eat the picked-up fried bun, she hurriedly reminded him, "Uncle, my daddy said that anything that falls on the ground should not be eaten even if picked up!"
Zhou Hong shook his head indifferently and said, "It's fine. If food is picked up within 3 seconds of falling, it can still be eaten."
As long as he picks it up fast enough, the germs surely won't have time to react!
Besides, he thinks that missing out on such a delicious fried bun would make his life incomplete.
How could he bear to waste it!
He stuffed the fried bun into his mouth, enjoying it heartily.
Xuanxuan: (;´・`)
Little yellow cat: (#-.-)
Seeing that the little yellow cat was still there, Xuanxuan cheerfully called to it: "Kitty, do another flip."
The little yellow cat, seeing her empty hands, turned its head away arrogantly.
Xuanxuan: (╥╯^╰╥)
"Papa, the kitty won't pay attention to me..." Xuanxuan pouted, a bit upset, and leaned against Huang Tao.
Huang Tao picked her up and sat her on his lap, softly comforting her, "Xuanxuan, don't be sad! Daddy will make it do a flip for you."
"Will the kitty really listen to Daddy?" Xuanxuan said with a hint of doubt.
"It will, just wait and see!"
Huang Tao placed her on a chair beside him.
Then he picked up several half-eaten fried buns from a plate, walked over to it, bent down, and waved the fried buns in front of it.
"Meow~"
The little yellow cat licked the corner of its mouth and reached out a paw, with its claws out, trying to grab the fried bun.
Huang Tao quickly lifted the fried bun high, motioning it with a tilt of his chin: "Come on, do a backflip first."
"Meow!"
You foolish Earthling, don't think you can control this feline overlord.
This feline overlord will never be a slave!
"Then I'm leaving…" Without further ado, Huang Tao turned and left.
(ToT)/~~~ Don't go!
"Meow!"
The little yellow cat quickly did another backflip.
Ha!
Where was all that talk about never being a slave?
Huang Tao couldn't help but grin and chuckle.
"Wow… Daddy is amazing…" Xuanxuan clapped her little hands, full of admiration.
The customers watching the scene couldn't help but laugh!
"Hahaha… no matter how haughty the kitty, once faced with Boss Huang's fried buns, all the arrogance disappears."
"This kitty truly can bend and stretch! It can throw away its pride and dignity just for a fried bun…"
"The delicious fried buns, even the haughtiest cat cannot resist!"
"Indeed! Generally, cats have been unconquerable for thousands of years, always treating humans as neighbors rather than masters. They ought to be very haughty, right? But when seeing the fried buns, I realized that even the proudest species have moments of surrender!"
"What does this prove? It proves our Boss Huang's skills are excellent…"
Amid the admiration of the customers, Huang Tao placed the fried buns he had in his hand onto a plate outside the shop door.
The little yellow cat happily trotted over, sniffed, and began enjoying this hard-earned delicacy with delight.
Xuanxuan also came over joyfully, squatting by its side, watching it eat with relish.
She wanted to reach out to pet the little yellow cat.
"Don't touch…"
Huang Tao quickly stopped her: "The kitty hasn't bathed, it might be dirty…"
Although this little yellow cat looked quite clean, it has been wandering outside, either abandoned or born a stray.
How could he let Xuanxuan get close to such a cat?
"Papa, can't Xuanxuan take it home to raise it? If we take it home, we can give it a bath."
Huh?
Keep a little cat at home?
Huang Tao instinctively wanted to refuse.
It's not about the money, but raising a cat is troublesome.
Being a pet owner is not easy!
Moreover, he's already exhausted taking care of Xuanxuan and managing the shop. Adding a cat is far from a wise choice.
But as he was about to refuse, he noticed the longing in Xuanxuan's eyes, and his heart softened.
"If Xuanxuan wants to keep it, then let's keep it!"
"Thank you, Papa, you're the best!"
She happily hugged her dad's waist, looking up at him with eyes that sparkled brighter than the stars, and two small dimples appeared on her cheeks.
Huang Tao smiled, patting her forehead.
As long as Xuanxuan is happy, what does it matter if he raises a little cat!
The little yellow cat, which had been well arranged:ヾ(。ꏿ﹏ꏿ)ノ゙
Did you ask for this feline overlord's opinion?
Did this feline overlord agree?
"Kitty, we are family now. You can eat as many fried buns as you want in the future!" Xuanxuan said sweetly.
Little yellow cat: (☆_☆)
For the sake of the fried buns, this feline overlord reluctantly agrees!
