10:30 am.

Zheng's Breakfast Shop, everything is ready, the doors are open for business.

The employees of Zheng's stand outside the shop's entrance, shouting energetically, "To thank our new and old customers, Zheng's Breakfast Shop is offering a special promotion. Pork and mushroom pan-fried buns, 5 for 10 yuan, beef pan-fried buns, 4 for 10 yuan, and pork and century egg congee for 5 yuan a bowl! Welcome old and new customers to come and taste!"

Zheng Fugui and his wife were very satisfied with the employees' performance.

Thinking the morning customer turnout was quite pleasing.

As long as they don't slack off at noon, there will be repeat customers.

This shop will still have quite a profit.

What a pity!

The imagination is beautiful, but reality is harsh.

Several minutes passed.

Watching as a long line formed at Huang Tao's shop, this line gave quite the impression of winding mountain roads.

While at Zheng's, there were only a handful of customers.

Even fewer than the past few days!

This is just ridiculous!

Ridiculous to the extreme!

"What's going on? Why is it so bad?"

Zheng Fugui almost suspected if it was because he opened at noon without checking the almanac!

Of course, superstition is just superstition.

In his heart, he has a bit of understanding.

Knowing where the most critical problem lies!

Look!

Many customers rushed over for Huang Tao's pan-fried buns with three fresh vegetarian fillings and lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs, all lining up at Huang Tao's.

Who would care about his Zheng's pan-fried buns!

You have to admit, Huang Tao played this move well!

Releasing two new products, firmly capturing the customers' attention.

Zheng Fugui felt like an ant on a hot pan at the moment, unable to come up with a better idea.

"Hey, hey, hey, Old Zheng, don't worry, stay calm."

Lin Xiue saw his anxiety, and comforted, "Once those customers try Huang Tao's three fresh vegetarian pan-fried buns, as long as they taste it and find it not that good, they'll definitely remember our three fresh shrimp pan-fried buns, and by then, they'll surely come to patronize our shop."

Her comforting words did not put Zheng Fugui at ease.

Huang Tao's three fresh vegetarian pan-fried buns, are they really going to taste bad?

Not necessarily!

Though Zheng Fugui and Huang Tao are in competition, Zheng Fugui has genuine admiration for Huang Tao's cooking skills.

Because of this admiration, he felt even more uneasy and anxious.

"Xiue! Quickly ask Qiaohong to go queue at Huang Tao's, buy a few of those three fresh vegetarian pan-fried buns back, I want to taste them."

"Again?"

Lin Xiue thought there was no need to buy them.

Buying them is just giving others sales and popularity~

"I'm telling you to go, so go, why so much nonsense!" Zheng Fugui frowned, displeased.

"Why are you taking it out on me? If you have the guts, go and take it out on Boss Huang..."

The chastised Lin Xiue rolled her eyes at Zheng Fugui.

Of course, she didn't have the courage to go against Zheng Fugui's wishes.

She had to go to the kitchen and told Qiaohong, "Qiaohong, put down what you're doing, change your clothes quickly, and go to 'So Delicious' to buy 5 three fresh vegetarian pan-fried buns back."

"Oh..." Qiaohong was momentarily stunned, once she understood, she nodded, "Okay, Madame, I'll head over now..."

With that said, she took off her apron, put on a small vest, walked out of the store, and headed to Huang Tao's shop.

...

"Smells so good!"

"The flavor is amazing!"

The waiting customers were all tempted by the enticing aroma, unable to resist expressing their praise.

Feeling even more expectant.

"Everyone, you can come to order now..." Huang Tao stood at the counter, smiling and greeting.

Hearing this.

All the customers queuing up orderly moved to the counter.

Old Qin, who came first, looked at those tempting pan-fried buns in the pots, smiling, "Boss Huang, give me 5 three fresh vegetarian pan-fried buns, one lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs, I'll eat here."

"Boss Huang, I want 2 three fresh vegetarian pan-fried buns, one lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs, and a bowl of pork and century egg congee, I'll also eat here." Old Liu quickly placed his order from behind.

"Okay!"

Huang Tao swiftly plated the food for them.

The two carefully carried their trays and sat down at a nearby table for two.

The freshly cooked three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried buns had a rich aroma, and each one had a translucent, very thin skin.

The bottom of the buns was pan-fried to a golden brown, sprinkled with sesame seeds and green onions.

The fried green onions and sesame seeds emanated a long-lasting aroma of onion and sesame.

The appearance, beautiful!

The smell, also incredibly fragrant!

Who could resist its temptation?

Old Qin instinctively smacked his lips and glanced at the lotus leaf sticky rice ribs in the small steamer, with the green lotus leaves still wrapping the ingredients.

The fragrance of the lotus leaves wafted into the air.

Making it feel as if one were in a lotus pond after the rain, refreshing and delightful.

Besides the lotus leaves!

The meaty aroma mixed in was equally rich.

Makes one want to open it up quickly for a taste.

Old Qin carefully opened the lotus leaf along the edge...

The sticky rice, stained brown by the ribs, revealed ribs glistening with oil, marinated in sauce, had an enticing color.

The rich aroma permeated the air.

It was truly appetizing!

For a moment, the two didn't know which one to eat first?

Old Qin gently scooped a spoonful with a white porcelain spoon and slowly savored it in his mouth.

The delicate fragrance of the lotus leaf was absorbed perfectly by the tender and juicy ribs.

The sticky rice, infused with rib juices and the lotus leaf fragrance, was also very soft and glutinous.

The ribs were well-seasoned, extraordinarily tender and soft, melting in the mouth.

A taste that left a lingering aroma.

"It's truly delicious!"

The cloudy eyes of Old Qin and Lao Liu suddenly brightened!

With anticipation, they picked up a three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried bun: "Let's try this three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried bun..."

As soon as they bit into it, the savory juices gushed out.

Even after absorbing a lot, so much juice continued to flow.

The aftertaste was still fresh~

The soft dough, filled with fresh vegetarian stuffing, burst with juices in each bite.

Wow!

Aromatic!

Fresh!

Tender!

Biting into it, you could also feel the texture of wood ear mushrooms.

The amount of wood ear mushrooms was just right, offering a great texture without making a crunchy sound when chewed.

Most importantly!

You couldn't taste even a hint of the grassy flavor of carrots, only their fresh sweetness remained.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the flavor of this three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried bun is incredibly delicious! And this lotus leaf sticky rice ribs, with its soft, glutinous texture and subtle lotus fragrance, is simply delightful! Boss Huang's skill, tsk tsk tsk... is superb!"

"I've never experienced such a rich-tasting pan-fried bun... Soft, dense, savory, fragrant, and crisp, each bite offers multiple textures, and the indescribable sweet freshness of this three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried bun and lotus-flavored sticky rice ribs is something you must try! If you don't, you'll regret it for a lifetime."

"Yes, yes… Lightly biting into it reveals the savory juices of the pan-fried bun, along with the soft top crust, filled with flavorful vegetarian stuffing, ending with a layer of crunchy crust at the bottom. It's just so delicious."

"And this lotus leaf sticky rice ribs, the ribs inside are completely tender and crumbly, and wrapping it with sticky rice makes it even softer, more fragrant, and sweeter. The sweetness of the sticky rice also seeps into the ribs, making it really fantastic, extremely delicious, and visually appealing."

The customers in line were instantly and shamefully tempted by their description.

"Boss Huang, I'll have 10 three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried buns, two portions of lotus leaf sticky rice ribs, two bowls of century egg and lean pork congee, and one braised pig trotter."

"I want 15 three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried buns and three portions of lotus leaf sticky rice ribs."

"Hey, hey, hey, those in front, pay some attention to your manners! Don't order too much, okay? At least leave some for everyone here to try too!"

"Boss Huang, I want 25 three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried buns, five bowls of century egg and lean pork congee, five braised pig trotters, and five portions of lotus leaf sticky rice ribs."

"Hey, in front, come on, leave some for us!"

"What the heck? Don't treat us like we're invisible, alright? Don't we want to eat the three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried buns too?"

"My three-delicacy vegetarian pan-fried buns and lotus leaf sticky rice ribs! How will I survive without them!"

"What's going on? What's wrong with you guys? Can't you show some decency?"

The scene was thrust into chaos.

People almost started fighting without any warning!
