Old Qin is truly one of the first loyal fans of the Delicious Restaurant. He started from how he got connected through the pan-fried buns, talked about how delicious the braised pig trotters are, and how customers lined up crazily.

Ma Deqiang had eaten Old Qin's dishes before, and their taste was unforgettable, even to this day.

Hearing Old Qin say the food at this restaurant is particularly delicious and that the boss's culinary skills are on par with his, he was half-skeptical and half-believing.

He felt it was unlikely, but also thought Old Qin wouldn't say something without basis.

After all, when it comes to cooking skills, Old Qin always prided himself on his high standards, and few could meet his approval.

He just looked up, So Delicious.

The name… is kind of plain~

The shopfront decoration… well, all right, just a signboard and two glass doors.

Still the same formula, still the familiar taste!

At that moment, Old Qin saw the electronic menu featuring a new product, braised duck necks, and was overjoyed, with an expression as if he had discovered a new land, exclaiming with joy and excitement: "Hey! They have new braised duck necks tonight, that's nice. Manager Ma, shall we try these braised duck necks later?"

"Sure!"

Not wanting to dampen Old Qin's interest, Ma Deqiang displayed an awkward yet polite smile, nodding his head.

After waiting for over 10 minutes, it was their turn.

"Manager Ma, feel free to order anything you like." Old Qin fanned himself while displaying the bearing of a gracious host.

For a moment, Ma Deqiang didn't know what to order. Not counting the various fillings of pan-fried buns, there were only about ten kinds of dishes to choose from, moreover, weren't pan-fried buns and preserved egg and lean meat porridge breakfast items?

Thus, he pushed the task of ordering back to Old Qin: "Elder Qin, it's my first time here, I don't know what's good. Why don't you order?"

"In that case, I'll order then."

Old Qin smiled, then looked at Ding Suqin and said without hesitation, "Give me two servings of crab fried cake, two bowls of nourishing fish soup, two braised pig trotters, and two duck necks, we'll eat here."

Ding Suqin nodded with a smile, politely saying: "Alright, Master Qin, that's 264 yuan in total. Please find yourselves a seat, we'll bring it over to you shortly."

"Sure!"

Old Qin swiftly scanned the code to pay.

"264 yuan has been received via WeChat."

Ma Deqiang thought to himself: for a small restaurant like this, a per capita cost of 132 yuan is quite expensive~

If Old Qin knew what he was thinking at this moment, he'd definitely retort: "Expensive my foot! It's totally worth it!"

Looking a bit bewildered, Ma Deqiang was led by Old Qin to a two-person dining table.

Only now did he realize the environment here wasn't bad.

There was air conditioning, the tables and chairs looked clean, and waves of enticing aroma from the braised meat wafted through the air.

However, habitually, he still grabbed a few napkins and wiped the table vigorously.

After wiping, the napkin was actually clean!

Oh my God!

He knew this place was rather clean but didn't expect it to be this clean!

His impression of this little eatery instantly changed, his fondness for it increased significantly.

Xu Hao cut the braised duck necks and pig trotters into small pieces, placed them on a plate, and brought them over to Old Qin's table.

"Qin, here are your braised pig trotters and duck necks. Please enjoy, the crab fried cake and nourishing fish soup will be ready soon."

"Great, got it."

Old Qin nodded with a smile and didn't forget to warmly invite Ma Deqiang to eat: "Manager Ma, give it a try…"

Smelling the aroma, Ma Deqiang wasn't shy. He picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of braised duck neck, and bit into it.

The dark red braised duck neck had an excellent texture.

The meaty aroma perfectly blended with the sauce flavor.

It wasn't dry at all but smooth and elastic, very flavorful.

The meat juice burst into his mouth with a delicate braised aroma, each bite endlessly tantalizing his palate.

The more he ate, the better it tasted, he couldn't stop, even the bones could be crunched.

It was indeed so delicious!

He focused on savouring the braised duck neck, completely forgetting about the small eatery and the per capita 132 yuan being too expensive, it was all forgotten.

His eyes, mind, and heart were only filled with eating.

He was in a state of ecstatic enjoyment with each bite, falling into a deep sense of bliss.

As a food festival manager, he had hosted countless food festivals.

He had eaten a fair share of braised duck necks too.

Truthfully speaking, this braised duck neck was the best he had tasted!

Such braised dishes wouldn't be surprising at a big hotel, but seeing them in a small eatery was peculiar.

"Tasty, right!"

After tasting the braised duck neck, Old Qin saw Ma Deqiang looking incredulous, and smiled while asking.

Ma Deqiang nodded: "Delicious, this braised duck neck is really quite good, the meat is extraordinarily tender, the firm parts have a satisfying chewiness, a lingering aroma fills the mouth, where there should be meat it's soft and tender…"

"Indeed! There's nothing in Boss Huang's culinary creations that isn't delicious." Old Qin said with utmost conviction: "Here, try the braised pig trotters…"

"Sure!"

Ma Deqiang picked up the glossy, beautifully colored braised pig trotter, and took a bite…

It was succulent and tender, not greasy at all.

As he chewed, the aroma spread, the skin was gelatinous yet didn't stick to the teeth.

It truly achieved a melt-in-the-mouth state!

Plus the combination of the pig trotter's rich gelatin and tendons.

The mouthfeel expressed the intricate textures of tendons, bones, and meat in utter abundance!

"This braised pig trotter is also very good, not at all inferior to the braised duck neck…" he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Initially, he was a bit reluctant, feeling that since Old Qin had finally invited him for a meal, they could have picked a better place.

But out of courtesy, he said nothing.

Now, he understood that Old Qin clearly discovered a hidden gem and wanted to bring him to try it.

This place's braised duck neck is so delicious, the new product is rare, and he got to taste such a delicious braised pig trotter, he was quite satisfied.

Old Qin didn't think so much; bringing Ma Deqiang here was purely muscle memory.

In their group of old men's words, it's "when eating, just go to Delicious Restaurant!"

The two chatted while eating, discussing matters related to the food festival.

As they chatted, a lightbulb went on for Ma Deqiang.

Such delicious braised foods shouldn't just be buried within the common market; more people should know about them.

He believed that if these braised foods were featured at this upcoming food festival, they would surely be well-received, adding much color to the festival.

He shared his thoughts with Old Qin: "Elder Qin, what do you think, if we let this Delicious Restaurant's food also appear at this food festival, how would it go?"

Upon hearing this, Old Qin's eyes lit up: "That would definitely be popular, so? Manager Ma, from what you're saying, are you considering letting this Delicious Restaurant appear in this festival?"

"Yes, I do have that in mind."

"That's fantastic! With you, Manager Ma, personally recommending, this Delicious Restaurant will definitely make it to this food festival." Old Qin thought about how usually, those invited to the festival were renowned hotels and locally reputable restaurants; Boss Huang's small restaurant wouldn't typically be among those invited, but now with Ma Deqiang's proposition, it was possible.

Ma Deqiang let out a "hmm" and planned to talk with the owner of this place when there were fewer people.

For now, solving the braised delicacies was the priority.
