Daddy's Gourmet Shop

Chapter 612 - 596: Savor It While You Can!

Roughly speaking.Since the task was issued, it’s been quite a few days, almost half a month, right?!

The system task received on the twenty-third before the New Year was finally initially settled by the ninth after the New Year, and today, the renovation matters were finalized.

According to the system’s usual behavior...

The harvest season should be coming next!

Wondering what rewards the system will give this time?

Considering the recent culinary rewards from the system, each dish has been quite impressive, basically focusing on various famous dishes.

Therefore.

Huang Tao is full of anticipation for the upcoming drawing.

Speaking of which, what dish will it be this time?

Huang Tao hopes for Longjing Shrimp or Clear Soup Yue Chicken or such Zhejiang cuisine famous dishes.

That’s right.

He wants to collect all the famous Zhejiang cuisine dishes to summon the dragon...

Of course.

That’s an impossible thing to do!

Mainly because his restaurant currently predominantly serves Zhejiang dishes, which are widely loved by both new and old customers, and if the new restaurant primarily focuses on Zhejiang cuisine, that’ll be a pretty good positioning.

Clear positioning can attract more customers with clear intentions!

With these thoughts in mind, he didn’t feel like chatting idly with Ding Cheng at the moment, eagerly awaiting the system task’s notification sound.

What a pity, what a pity!

The more anxious he gets, the longer the system notification sound delays its appearance.

What’s going on?

Remember last time when the Old Street shop expanded, after settling the renovation matters and registering on the relevant department’s website, the system’s task notification sound came in no time.

How come there’s no response at all this time?

As if it’s disappeared.

Hmm~

Could it be he’s mistaken?

The system might have different standards for completing the task this time compared to before?

Need to wait for the business license and other related documents to change after the new store’s renovation is completed and officially opened for business to count as the task truly completed?

Should be, right?!

Oh!

Really wasted his enthusiastic expectations!

With this thought in mind, he stopped waiting expectantly for the system’s task notification sound and sighed softly, feeling rather speechless, while silently complaining about the system a bit in his heart.

Ding Cheng noticed Huang Tao wasn’t in high spirits and thought he was tired, so he asked with concern: "Boss Huang, are you tired? How about I drive instead?"

He occasionally acts as a driver for Jiang Mingtao, so he didn’t mind acting as a driver for Huang Tao.

To him, being able to drive for Huang Tao was an honor!

Although his plan to make Huang Tao his brother-in-law was thwarted by Jiang Mingtao, he’s now found a new approach, focusing on solving problems for Huang Tao, which also ensures he can enjoy Huang Tao’s cooking anytime and anywhere.

Therefore, he pays extra attention to Huang Tao’s every move, hoping to lend a helping hand.

Xuanxuan listened, and a hint of concern appeared in her big bright eyes. She stretched her neck looking at Huang Tao worriedly and asked tenderly: "Daddy, are you very tired? Do you want Xuanxuan to give you a massage?"

While speaking, she tried to stretch forward, extending her arms, attempting to massage Huang Tao’s shoulders.

Unfortunately...

The seat belt restricted her movement, and coupled with her small stature and short arms, she couldn’t reach Daddy’s shoulders!

But she kept trying.

"Xuanxuan, this action is very dangerous, don’t move around, sit properly."

Huang Tao felt warmth in his heart hearing his beloved daughter’s words, but seeing her movement through the rearview mirror, he was worried and hurriedly spoke to stop her actions, then continued, "Daddy isn’t tired, no need for a massage."

Xuanxuan blinked her beautiful big eyes and mumbled: "Really?"

Huang Tao nodded affirmatively: "Really, Daddy isn’t tired. As long as Xuanxuan is with Daddy, Daddy is not tired at all."

"Hehe~"

Xuanxuan showed a radiant smile.

As long as she’s with Daddy, she’s happy too.

She obediently sat straight.

But her heart was still with Daddy, blinking at him and said: "Daddy, shall I give you a massage when we get back later!"

"Okay~"

The warmth in Huang Tao’s heart was almost overflowing.

The smile at the corner of his mouth stretched to his ears.

"You two have a wonderful father-daughter relationship... Xuanxuan is so filial!"

Single dog Ding Cheng watched their interaction, full of envy.

For a brief moment, he also wanted a daughter to pamper him and be filial to him.

It’s just that to have a daughter, he needs a woman willing to give birth to one for him...

Then thinking of himself currently being a single dog...

In an instant!

That beautiful fantasy "popped" and shattered.

His heart, too, felt like dumpling filling, crumbled.

The unexpectedly praised Xuanxuan was incredibly delighted.

She smiled with arched eyebrows: "Hehe, that’s for sure, I’ll never not get along with my daddy."

"I will always be filial to my daddy."

"Because I super love my daddy~"

Saying this, Xuanxuan raised her hands above her head, making a heart shape gesture.

Sent heart to Huang Tao.

Seeing this gesture through the rearview mirror, Huang Tao’s heart was about to melt, and the curve at the corners of his mouth kept rising higher and higher.

Happiness was almost overflowing.

He wished he could immediately give this little cutie a big kiss!

But he restrained himself, smiled indulgently at Xuanxuan, and responded: "Baby, Daddy also super loves you!"

"I know... Hehe~"

Xuanxuan’s dimples were shallow, and her eyes arched.

Adoring, adoring.

Ding Cheng suddenly felt he wasn’t fed by couples’ PDA on the streets but rather fed a mouthful of PDA from this loving father-daughter duo...

Oh~

Don’t feed anymore; if fed further, this single dog will be stuffed...

Fortunately, the road was smooth, and soon Huang Tao’s car drove into West City Old Street and parked in a spot near the store’s entrance.

When he got out of the car, Huang Tao lifted Xuanxuan down and then invited: "Assistant Ding, why not come in for a visit? Stay for lunch at the store?"

"Boss Huang, you’re too kind."

Ding Cheng, thinking of himself still as Jiang Mingtao’s assistant, politely declined Huang Tao’s hospitality: "I’d better return to the company first and come over with General Manager Jiang later at noon."

After speaking, he waved at Xuanxuan: "Xuanxuan, bye-bye, see you at noon."

"Mr. Ding, bye-bye~"

Xuanxuan also waved, watched Ding Cheng leave, and then followed Daddy towards the store.

At this time, the entrance was already occupied by neighbors, as usual, setting up large umbrellas, card tables, and chess tables.

It’s very lively!

Seeing Huang Tao returning, the neighbors enthusiastically greeted them.

"Boss Huang, Xuanxuan, back already? Got the renovation matters sorted?"

Huang Tao smiled: "We’re almost there; once the design renderings are out and inspected, the construction team should start in about a week and complete the renovation."

"That’s great."

While the neighbors were happy for Huang Tao, they felt slightly saddened.

Because once the new store is renovated and operating, Huang Tao will be taking charge at the downtown branch, making it not as easy for them to enjoy Huang Tao’s homemade delicacies as they can now.

So, now...

Eat and cherish it!

Meanwhile, not lacking money, Old Qin was pondering whether to sell the house on West City Old Street and then add some money to buy a house near the new restaurant.

But you see...

The house on Old Street is an old dwelling, making it hard for him to part with.

Should he take a mortgage to buy a small one?!

Unbeknownst to Huang Tao about Old Qin’s thoughts and many other old customers already looking for houses to buy because of this, he had just stepped into the store when his mind instantly resonated with the long-awaited system notification sound.
