Chapter 541: Chapter 527: The Mage Who Spent Years Practicing Fireballs

At 4:30, Huang Tao finally prepared a meticulously crafted dinner.

This dinner could truly be called sumptuous!

Honeyed Ham, Dongpo Pork, Grilled Fish, Steamed Hairy Crab, Home-style Yellow Croaker, Crispy Bell Rings, Oil-braised Prawns, Roast Duck...

The table was fully loaded!

Everyone present not only feasted their eyes but couldn’t help silently swallowing their saliva in admiration!

Huang Tao called out with a smile, "Nothing too fancy, General Manager Jiang and Manager Yang, just make do with it!"

"This isn’t special? Some of these, you can’t even get on a regular day, right?"

Jiang Mingtao, looking at the table full of delicacies, was grinning from ear to ear!

After all, among these dishes, there are some you can’t buy even if you have money!

Ah!

Another day of envying his son’s job!

Of course.

He was also grateful that he finished the meeting early and personally came along to help Boss Huang, thus getting to enjoy this meal that even money can’t buy.

There’s no denying, Boss Huang is a person you can connect with, he always repays kindness!

He looked at Huang Tao with eyes full of admiration and respect.

What he faces each day are subordinates, reports, meetings, business partners, and loads of money.

Trust.

Gratitude and reciprocation.

These words seem to have disappeared in his business circle.

Yet in Huang Tao’s presence.

He could feel a long-lost humanity!

And Manager Yang, seeing Jiang Mingtao’s son, Jiang Chao, surprisingly working as an assistant chef in this restaurant, was slightly surprised but realized why Jiang Mingtao placed so much importance on this restaurant!

And to have Young Master Jiang, who always prided himself on his culinary skills, gladly work as an assistant chef, it seems Huang Tao’s cooking skills are extraordinary!

He became even more eager to experience Huang Tao’s culinary arts.

Laughing, Huang Tao called his precious daughter over to eat: "Xuanxuan, wash your hands and come eat~"

"Mm, mm~ Coming~"

Xuanxuan ran over with little short legs, sitting down next to her dad.

"Oh?"

Jiang Mingtao looked at Xuanxuan and said with a smile, "Boss Huang, is this your daughter? So cute~"

"Yes, my daughter, Xuanxuan."

Huang Tao introduced her with a smile, turning his head to his little darling nearby, "Xuanxuan, someone complimented you, what do you say?"

Xuanxuan sweetly replied, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang~"

Her baby-like voice instantly made everyone in the shop laugh.

"Everyone, dig in~"

"Boss Huang, then I won’t hold back~"

Sitting at the table, Jiang Mingtao, looking at the table of deliciously tempting food, was already starving, and now seeing everyone gathered, he no longer stood on ceremony when Huang Tao invited them to start.

The first thing his chopsticks reached was the quivering caramel-colored Dongpo Pork in front of him.

That was also his favorite.

Although he had eaten the shop’s Dongpo Pork many times, it never ceased to amaze him. He said with a face full of delight, "Boss Huang, your skills are truly impressive! This Dongpo Pork is as delicious as ever, sweet but not overly greasy, each bite is full of flavor, so fragrant."

Seeing Manager Yang hesitating with his chopsticks, he smiled and urged, "Manager Yang, what are you waiting for? Try it... I’m telling you, Boss Huang’s cooking is so good, you’ll regret it if you don’t try..."

"Alright, I’ll try."

Manager Yang thought, the fact that General Manager Jiang, who runs a hotel, praised it so much is proof of its deliciousness.

But just how good could it be?

Looking at the simple white porcelain plate with the visually impactful caramel-colored Dongpo Pork, the layers of fat and lean meat were perfectly even, just like agate and jade sandwiched with crystal-clear crystal, beautiful like a work of art. With the faint aroma of meat wafting through the air after Jiang Mingtao’s reminder, it seemed to intensify, and his stomach couldn’t help but growl.

What are you waiting for?

Eat first as a sign of respect!

He picked up his chopsticks, picked a piece of Dongpo Pork, and started eating.

The instant the tender texture entered his mouth, he paused, the gelatinous skin wasn’t greasy at all, the meat inside was tender and soft, falling apart at a bite, incredible!

The salty sauce coating the meat filled his taste buds, making him irresistibly want another bite.

Manager Yang was utterly surprised; this Dongpo Pork was even better than those made by private chefs or his own home cook!

Yet he couldn’t taste any secret seasoning, just the usual flavors of wine, sugar, etc.

Very ordinary yet surprisingly delicious, as if the flavors of these ingredients were brought out to their fullest.

He couldn’t help but squint his eyes in surprise and exclaimed, "It’s really delicious!"

"If it’s delicious, have some more."

Seeing the guests eating happily and satisfied, Huang Tao naturally felt joyous!

Huang Tao smiled as he snipped off a crab leg with scissors, poked out the long strip of leg meat with the crab claw, dipped it in some vinegar, and placed it on Xuanxuan’s plate.

Xuanxuan opened her little mouth and took a bite, chewed twice, her eyes smiling into crescents, and her dimples showing: "Mmm, mmm, delicious~"

She absolutely loved this fragrant and sweet crab leg meat!

Huang Tao reached out for a few napkins to wipe her little mouth, then scooped a fish ball from the soup for her.

The fish balls, just freshly made, were still very hot. Huang Tao used chopsticks to break it up in the soup spoon so it cooled faster and was easier for Xuanxuan to eat.

As Manager Yang picked up some food, he saw this scene...

As a mage who had conjured fireballs for many years, he really did not want to admit the envy and jealousy in the depths of his heart!

He so wished, so wished to have such a well-behaved, adorable, and sensible daughter to dote on...

Ha!

Might as well just keep eating!

Only eating can fill that empty heart!

Then he tried the Squirrel Mandarin Fish.

His eyes involuntarily widened instantly.

Delicious!

This is so fragrant, isn’t it?!

What about this roasted duck?

Also delicious!

This stewed meat with dried vegetables is amazing too!

These fish balls are so bouncy!

After trying all the dishes, Manager Yang felt that even if this meal really cost 30,000 yuan, it was worth it!

At first, he found it hard to understand why General Manager Jiang insisted on relocating the headquarters to Wenling City?

Now he finally understood!

It was all for the delicacies of the Delicious Restaurant!

But if it were him, he would also be willing to relocate his company here for this meal.

The moment this thought arose, he couldn’t help but want to act on it.

Of course.

Let’s eat first.

Everything else can wait a bit!

During the meal.

Everyone chatted while eating, and Jiang Mingtao and Manager Yang even toasted Huang Tao with tea, thanking him for his hospitality.

Huang Tao accepted with a smile, clinking glasses.

When everyone was full, their stomachs almost bursting, it was already past 4:50.

"Burp~"

Everyone couldn’t help but start burping.

"Feels like I haven’t eaten enough, but I’m already stuffed," Manager Yang leaned back in his chair, feeling a bit of regret.

"It was so delicious, Boss Huang, your culinary skills are truly amazing..."

Jiang Mingtao, also stuffed, said with emotion: "I’ve been eating for some time, but I still feel the same way, and you’ve just begun!"

"I tell you, you haven’t even tried Boss Huang’s xiao long bao and pan-fried dumplings, preserved egg and lean pork congee, and eight-treasure congee! They are all extremely delicious!"

"And the deep-fried glutinous rice balls with sesame filling, you haven’t had them either!"

"And this marinated meat, it’s incredibly fragrant!"

Manager Yang, who couldn’t eat anymore, felt worse the more he heard, quickly stopping him: "Alright, General Manager Jiang, stop, anymore and I won’t be able to hold back my cravings,"

"Hahaha~" Jiang Mingtao chuckled.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two sat for a moment longer, then stood up and said: "Boss Huang, thank you for your hospitality tonight, we are all full, we won’t disturb you further. We’ll be heading back."

"It’s no trouble, I should be thanking you."

Huang Tao said with a smile: "Take these with you."

He then went to the kitchen and brought out two bags of packed items.

They were filled with marinated snacks, including marinated pig trotters, marinated chicken legs, marinated chicken wings, etc.

"Take these marinated snacks with you, so you can have them as treats when you’re craving."

Manager Yang and the other were pleasantly surprised: "Isn’t this a bit too much?"

Huang Tao smiled softly: "What’s the big deal about it? I just happened to make a bit more today, take them!"

Manager Yang accepted with a smile: "Then I won’t be polite."

Jiang Mingtao was also pleasantly surprised: "Do I get a share too?"

Huang Tao sincerely thanked: "Of course, you brought people to me, naturally, I have to thank you!"

"Alright, then I’ll take it too."

Jiang Mingtao accepted it and waved to Xuanxuan along with Manager Yang: "See you, Xuanxuan."

Xuanxuan waved politely: "Goodbye, Mr. Jiang, goodbye, Uncle Yang."

They watched them walk out of the store.
