Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 316 - 306: I Don’t Have Time at Noon!

West City Police Station.

Huang Ziqing drove to the station.

Just as he was about to get out of the car,

he was warmly greeted by a few passing colleagues:

"Deputy Director Huang, you’re here..."

"Deputy Director Huang, good morning..."

"Deputy Director Huang, you’re looking good today..."

"Uh-huh, I’m here, morning..."

Smiling, Huang Ziqing nodded at them and reached into the passenger seat to grab the large food bag containing pan-fried buns, waving them over: "I bought some pan-fried buns, come over and try one!"

Hearing this, a few colleagues all waved their hands to politely decline his offer.

"No, no, I already had breakfast at home."

"Pan-fried buns! I’m not really into pan-fried buns, thanks anyway Deputy Director Huang, but I’ll pass!"

"Deputy Director Huang, I just finished breakfast! Still full, no need, no need."

"Thank you, Deputy Director Huang, but I brought my own breakfast. You enjoy them!"

But Huang Ziqing just smiled it off and continued to warmly insist, "It’s just a pan-fried bun, two big bites will do, come on, have one first."

As he said this, he quickly opened the large food bag and presented it to them, not forgetting to explain, "The most are pork filling, a little less are pork and mushroom, and the least are three-delicacy vegetarian fillings, just pick whichever you want..."

Well!

With Deputy Huang inviting so warmly, refusing would be rather rude.

"Alright, I’ll have one then, thank you, Deputy Director Huang."

Several colleagues nodded in agreement and, in unison, reached into the large food bag to pick out a bun with their preferred filling.

Initially not very keen, but upon smelling the rich aroma of premium pork mixed with the scent of sesame and scallions, they couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

Looking at the fluffy white buns topped with shiny black sesame seeds and fresh green scallions, with a golden crispy bottom...

Their mouths began to water even more!

Drooling in anticipation!

What’s the wait for?

Just eat!

They bit into the buns...

Oh my!

So fresh, so tender, so juicy. So moist, so fragrant, so crunchy...

The taste was so good it nearly made them swallow their tongues!

Nom nom nom~

This was indeed a true earthly delicacy!

After having these delightful pan-fried buns, how could anyone consider eating those ordinary ones again?

Seeing his colleagues displaying near-blissful expressions as they tasted the buns, mumbling words like "delicious" and "amazing" between bites,

especially the one who just said they didn’t like pan-fried buns.

Started with a small bite, then gulped down eagerly.

Ate so voraciously that oil was dripping from their mouths!

Finished and even couldn’t resist sucking their fingers...

Huang Ziqing couldn’t help but chuckle.

Looks like this guy has utterly surrendered to the deliciousness of pan-fried buns!

As for Boss Huang’s culinary skills, it’s hard to find a match in the entire Zhejiang Province!

After quickly finishing the buns in their hands,

his colleagues’ eyes were fixed on the large food bag in Huang Ziqing’s hands.

Filled with a look of longing in their eyes.

They couldn’t help smiling and pleading:

"Uh, Deputy Director Huang, are there any pork and mushroom buns left?"

"Deputy Director Huang, could I have another pork bun? Just one, just one!"

"These pork buns are so fragrant! Deputy Director Huang, where did you get them from?"

"Indeed, so much more flavorful than other places! Totally different!"

"Agreed, these buns are too delicious, uff, eating other buns afterward would be like pig feed, wouldn’t it?!"

"That’s it, I think I’m done for in this lifetime. Other shop’s buns won’t cut it anymore..."

All this fuss just for another bun!

No need to act so pathetically!

"Alright, I’ll give you one more. Having two to taste is enough, the others haven’t arrived yet!"

Grinning helplessly, Huang Ziqing opened the large food bag and let them pick another while continuing, "This store is right at the corner of West City Old Street, called Delicious Restaurant, not far from our station. If you want some, go early and queue up; usually, you can still buy them, but these buns are only available in the morning. At noon and in the evening, they offer other dishes. I’ve tried their crab fried cakes and lotus leaf sticky rice steamed ribs, they’re also delicious. You should try them when you get a chance."

While eating the buns, his colleagues listened and remembered:

"Delicious Restaurant? Corner of West City Old Street? Oh... I know the place. I’ve heard their food is great, always long lines for every meal, hard to buy. During the food festival, it was all over my social circle, but caught up with work, I couldn’t try a bit!"

"I’ve been to that shop; the line was too long, so I went back. Didn’t expect such a delicious bun from them, let alone the other stuff. Ugh! Feels like I’ve missed out on billions!"

"Exactly! If I knew their food was this good, I’d have queued at the risk of being late!"

This fell on Huang Ziqing’s ears without feeling abrupt.

Honestly, he felt the same deep down.

After all, hadn’t tasted something this good in ages.

In their line of work, being fussy about food isn’t exactly an option.

As long as they can fill their stomachs!

Wanting to be selective is impossible too!

Even while resting at home, they must stay on call.

One phone call, they must immediately return to work.

Rest is a luxury, who has time to savor fine food properly?

Even if there was time, the mood wouldn’t be there!

Now there’s such a gourmet spot near the station, and the food is genuinely good. Even if the line’s long, it’s worth it.

Just then,

Wang Zhiheng’s car pulled up next to Huang Ziqing’s.

Seeing this, everyone laughed and greeted:

"Mr. Wang, you’re here."

"Mr. Wang, have a pan-fried bun!"

"No thanks, I already had breakfast at home." Getting out of the car, Wang Zhiheng shook his hand, smiling: "You all enjoy!"

"Mr. Wang, have one, I’m telling you, these buns are something else, taste amazing!"

"Mr. Wang, I’m not kidding, they’re really, really delicious! You’ll understand once you’ve tried."

A group of police officers surrounded Wang Zhiheng, eagerly recommending.

Smiling, Wang Zhiheng said, "Really, I’m fine, I’ve already had enough."

"Mr. Wang, these are buns from Delicious Restaurant, are you sure you don’t want one?" Huang Ziqing offered the bun in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhiheng perked up and said, "Well... I’ll have one then."

Grabbing the bun from Huang Ziqing, he took a bite, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Delicious!"

"Boss Huang’s skills are just outstanding! Even the buns are this tasty!"

After finishing in a few bites,

he glanced at the remaining buns in Huang Ziqing’s hand.

Understanding the look, Huang Ziqing laughed and asked, "Want another?"

Chuckling, Wang Zhiheng replied, "Heh heh... then one more."

He ate two more, still somewhat unsatisfied!

Still wanting more!

With a smile, Huang Ziqing said, "Mr. Wang, these remaining ones are for the rest of the team."

Suppressing the urge for more, Wang Zhiheng nodded, "How about we go to Delicious Restaurant for dinner tonight?"

Puzzled, Huang Ziqing asked, "Why tonight? Not at noon?"

Sharing his schedule for the day, Wang Zhiheng replied, "I have a meeting at the city bureau this noon, no time!"

Thinking about the packed schedule at noon, it was indeed tight.

After all, they must remain on call, ready to respond at any call.

Nodding, he said, "Alright, then tonight after work we go together, and let’s invite Old Zhang too."

"Deal! Tonight after work!"
