Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 294 - 285: Deciding to Close for Two Days

They waited for a long time.

Finally, it was Delicious Restaurant’s turn to order again.

They happily rushed to the self-service ordering machine.

However...

They didn’t realize until they tried, and once they did, they were completely dumbfounded.

Damn, everything was sold out.

In an instant...

They were defeated.

"Huh? What? No more crab fried rice cake? Why make so little? I haven’t had enough yet!"

"Huh? Even the lotus leaf sticky rice ribs are gone? Why am I so unlucky!"

"Whoa... no way... I waited so long in line, only to miss the crab fried rice cake by one order, and even the lotus leaf sticky rice ribs are gone. Damn... I’m just a big fool..."

If this had been before, they would have definitely cursed outright.

But the crab fried cake at this small restaurant is just too delicious, plus there are four police officers dining inside, so they swallowed back their curse words and quickly changed their tone.

They also didn’t dare to ask Huang Tao to make some more for them.

Sigh!

If only they had known!

They should have ordered more portions from the start!

But even though they regret it now, it’s too late!

The three of them drooped their heads, looking helpless.

What else could they do?

They could only come back tomorrow!

Before leaving, the three of them walked over to Huang Ziqing’s table and politely said, "Officer uncle, officer sister, we’re leaving first. Enjoy your meal!"

Huang Ziqing and his friends were so engrossed in their meal!

They didn’t hear at all.

They didn’t mind, and then smiled and waved goodbye to Huang Tao in the kitchen, saying, "Boss, thanks for the treat, we’re leaving now."

Building a good relationship with the boss, maybe next time he can help reserve some of the restaurant’s delicacies for them!

In their minds, they were making a lovely little plan.

Totally unaware, Huang Tao looked up through the kitchen’s glass partition at the three from Delicious Restaurant, and politely replied, "Take care! We look forward to your next visit."

"Boss, your food is so good, we’ll definitely be back, see you tomorrow."

With a grin on his face, Jian Zizhe said as he left the shop with Red Hair and Green Hair.

Hearing the words "see you tomorrow," Huang Tao suddenly remembered that the restaurant would be closed tomorrow.

The walls between the two stores were going to be knocked down tomorrow, so they definitely couldn’t do business.

After all, the dust and dirt from the wall demolition make it hard to cook, not to mention it would greatly affect the customers’ experience. Plus, tomorrow is Sunday, he plans to take Xuanxuan and his parents out for a good outing.

So he decided to directly close for two days.

Two days.

Enough for the renovation team to finish the shop upgrade.

He originally wanted to tell Delicious Restaurant’s three about it, to avoid them making a wasted trip tomorrow.

But alas, they had already left.

So he had to drop it.

Huang Tao looked over at Ding Suqin not far away and instructed, "Suqin, later go to the print shop and print a closed for renovation notice, and stick it on the shop door!"

This was the rhythm of not being open tomorrow!

Ding Suqin immediately understood, but she had never done this closed notice before, so she was a bit at a loss, "Boss, how do we do this announcement? What should I say to the print shop?"

Li Chengzhan and Lin Qiuyu both felt a bit panicked when they heard about the closure tomorrow.

This was the rhythm of having a break!

So they wouldn’t be able to eat the boss’s cooking?

Thinking of this, they really wanted to shout to Huang Tao: Boss, don’t take a break! We can keep working.

But in the end...

They didn’t say it out loud either.

After all, this was the boss’s decision.

And as a qualified employee, they must obediently comply with the boss’s decision.

Huang Tao thought for a moment and said, "I’ll send you the content of the announcement on WeChat later, just have the print shop make it out."

Then he took out his phone, opened WeChat, found Ding Suqin’s avatar, tapped the screen, and typed the message: Due to renovation, the shop will be closed for two days! Apologies for any inconvenience! Reopening on Tuesday, all are welcome to come back.

Send.

Upon receiving the message, Ding Suqin checked the contents and smiled as she asked, "Boss, there’s nothing to do now, so should I just go to the print shop now?"

"Sure!"

Huang Tao nodded in agreement, and continued to tell the group of employees, "For the next two days, you’ll have a paid holiday!"

"Paid holiday? Really? Boss."

Ding Suqin, Xu Hao, and Lin Zifeng all showed a look of surprise, and looked at Huang Tao with some excitement.

When Lin Zifeng was working at the previous hotel, even if there was a holiday due to hotel reasons, he wouldn’t get paid.

He didn’t expect this boss to be so generous, actually allowing employees to take paid leave.

In his heart, he thought Boss Huang was truly the best boss in Huaxia!

Ding Suqin and Xu Hao felt the same way.

Especially Ding Suqin, she was already very satisfied to have found a job at Delicious Restaurant.

The workload wasn’t too heavy either.

Colleagues were all friendly and got along like family.

The boss was really nice too, taking good care of her, often packing meals from the restaurant for her to take home to her daughter.

As a divorced woman raising a daughter alone, it’s indeed very tough.

If it weren’t for the boss breaking the rules to let her work at Delicious Restaurant, she really wouldn’t know how to find a stable job to support their mother-daughter life.

Now even during holidays, it’s paid leave.

She was truly surprised and delighted!

In her heart, she thought she must work harder and be more diligent in her support role in the future.

The three wealthy second-generation employees, including Li Chengzhan, although they thought their boss was humane, mostly wished they could continue to work without a break!

If their parents knew what they were thinking, they would probably be shocked.

Their parents had spent quite a bit of effort talking to them about work.

Especially the parents of Li Chengzhan and Lin Qiuyu, wanting their sons to train at the family company first.

To inherit the family business in the future!

But alas...

They said work was too tiring and absolutely refused to join the company; besides, since the family was so rich, they wouldn’t worry about food and drink even if they didn’t work.

Typical lazybones!

But now!

They didn’t want to take a holiday and wanted to continue working for a bite to eat.

If their parents found out, wouldn’t they be shocked?

Huang Tao nodded with a smile and said, "Really, you guys should take a good rest these two days too!"

Seeing that the boss had already decided, everyone couldn’t say much.

Ding Suqin hurried out to the printing shop to print something.

By this time, the four police officers had already finished eating.

Huang Ziqing patted his belly and said, "I’ll have to come back to this place tomorrow."

"Old Zhang, you’re really something! You immediately recommended such a treasure of a restaurant to me."

Wang Zhiheng patted Old Zhang’s shoulder with satisfaction and happiness, saying, "Tomorrow I’ll tell the folks at the station about this delicious crab stir-fried cake and lotus leaf glutinous rice steamed ribs. I can’t allow them not to know!"

They chatted for a bit and took a short break before getting up to leave.

Before leaving, Officer Zhang smiled and said, "Director Wang, Deputy Director Huang, you two go ahead, I’ll first take the trays to the dish rack."

At these words, both Wang Zhiheng and Huang Ziqing were surprised.

But seeing that the diners at the table in front were also tidying up their dishes after eating.

Could this be another unwritten rule of the shop?!

If so, they should follow it!

Both Director Wang and Deputy Director Huang rolled up their sleeves and quickly tidied up.

Wiping the tables, wiping the tables.

Clearing the dishes, clearing the dishes.

They even took the dishes to the dishwasher as a group.

Before leaving, they didn’t forget to exchange a few words with Huang Tao: "Boss, we’re off, get busy now..."

"Take care!"

Huang Tao smiled and said, "But this place won’t be open for the next two days due to renovations, don’t come for nothing..."

"Oh!"

Huang Ziqing was surprised and then looked disappointed: "Not open tomorrow? I was planning to come back to eat tomorrow..."

"Ah! Looks like I’ll have to come back next Tuesday!" Although Wang Zhiheng was quite unwilling, he understood.

Officer Zhang said helplessly, "Then Boss Huang, see you next Tuesday!"

Ge Jingyi felt a bit disappointed too.

Originally, she wanted to bring her mom over to eat tomorrow.

Now that plan was dashed.

But fortunately, she had the foresight to pack a crab stir-fried cake for her mom just now.

As they walked out of the restaurant.

Wang Zhiheng smiled and asked, "Jingyi, let me give you a ride home?"

The unwilling to be special Ge Jingyi declined politely: "Director, no need, there’s a bus at this time, I can take the bus home."

"Alright."

Wang Zhiheng thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Then be careful on your way home."

Each one left in their own direction, heading to their respective homes.
