Free Web NovelChapter 624: Chapter 608: Arranging a Special Column
"Eh? Why is the advertisement for Delicious Restaurant here?"
"Ah? Is this Boss Huang’s new place? It’s opening on the eighteenth of the first month?"
"Isn’t the eighteenth the day after tomorrow?"
"How lucky... If I hadn’t come to the mall, I would have missed Boss Huang’s new restaurant opening."
Yang Xiabing was supposed to go on a blind date arranged by her mom tonight at Jinrui Hotel, but didn’t like the person, so she politely stayed for half an hour, then made an excuse about feeling unwell and left. Worried about going home early and listening to her mom’s nagging, she decided to stroll around the mall for a bit before heading back. As she walked to the plaza, she saw the advertisement on the exterior mall wall.
In an instant...
She felt like she’d discovered a new world, her beautiful eyes sparkling and a look of surprise on her pretty face.
She quickly took out her phone to snap a picture of the ad on the wall.
Of course.
She memorized the address displayed.
Next, she opened up her Baidu Map app to search the exact location of the restaurant.
Then...
She realized that Huang Tao’s new restaurant was right near the mall.
That’s perfect!
After dining at Boss Huang’s, she can go shopping and have fun at the mall.
Great, great!
So...
She called her best friend Lin Manli, eager to share the exciting news and to make dining plans for the day after tomorrow.
After a moment, the call connected.
A familiar voice came from the other end: "Hello, Bingbing, how was the blind date tonight? Didn’t hit it off again?"
"Not so good, he looked average and was all talk about money, didn’t know how to care for people."
Yang Xiabing frowned: "Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that."
"Manli, I’ve got to tell you, Boss Huang is opening a new restaurant."
"Huh?"
Lin Manli asked with some surprise: "Where’s the new restaurant located?"
Yang Xiabing replied without hesitation: "It’s on Zhonghua Road."
Lin Manli sounded a bit dazed: "Really?"
"Really!"
Yang Xiabing nodded and explained: "I saw Boss Huang’s ad on the mall’s exterior wall, this kind of campaign must be at least hundreds of thousands, truly extravagant!"
She was someone who had seen major events, but even she was quite surprised by the extent of this promotion.
But with Boss Huang’s new restaurant nearby, this publicity is undoubtedly the best.
Lin Manli felt the same way!
She just didn’t expect Huang Tao would go all out, buying ad space on the mall’s outer wall.
Now that she knows the opening date of Huang Tao’s new restaurant.
As a collaborator, naturally she ought to give a big gift, as a show of goodwill.
As for the gift, she needs to think it over.
She said with a smile: "Then shall we visit Boss Huang’s restaurant the day after tomorrow for lunch to show support?"
Yang Xiabing, who had this very intention, agreed happily: "Sure!"
With a smile, Lin Manli revealed her plan: "I also intend to shoot another magazine issue soon!"
"Another shoot?"
Yang Xiabing was surprised: "Hasn’t your magazine already done two issues about Boss Huang?"
"Yes!"
Lin Manli smiled: "But I plan to set up a special column for Delicious Restaurant, and interview whenever there’s a new dish."
Around the New Year period, Huang Tao’s restaurant introduced several new dishes.
She planned to take a team for interviews and shoots in the coming days.
Now that Boss Huang opened a new restaurant near the city center, they no longer need to travel far to West City Old Street.
Future interviews will be more convenient!
...
"Alright, that’s it for tonight’s storybook..."
Sitting at the bedside, Huang Tao closed the picture book in his hand and glanced sideways at Xuanxuan lying in the quilt.
The little one was sleepy-eyed at the moment and let out a super big yawn.
He smiled and gently patted Xuanxuan through the blanket, saying softly, "Darling, sleep now."
"Mm-mm~"
Xuanxuan obediently nodded and closed her eyes.
Huang Tao lay sideways beside her with his head on a pillow, watching her quietly.
No matter how much he looked at his considerate little sweetheart, he never grew tired.
After a while.
Xuanxuan fell asleep in a daze, a sweet smile appeared on her face.
Surely tonight she will be accompanied by sweet dreams.
Huang Tao smiled slightly, put the picture book resting on the bed onto the bedside table, and lowered the lamp brightness.
He thought that since the advertising campaign was done, he might as well strike while the iron is hot and announce the opening day on Weibo.
Delicious Restaurant: Big news, Delicious Restaurant’s first branch will open on the 18th of the first lunar month at 380 Zhonghua Road, city center, Wenling City~ All dishes from Delicious Restaurant are available here. To celebrate the opening, we’re also introducing new dishes: Longjing Shrimp, Boiled Cabbage, Braised Turtle. Interested friends can come and taste them~
At first, fans who saw this Weibo post thought they were experiencing eye strain and were seeing things.
The comments posted were just a series of question marks.
A few minutes later, after recovering from the surprise, they had to believe it was real.
Slap You to Death with Your Hypocritical Heart: ??? Wow! Boss Huang is quietly doing big things! Finally, the gospel has arrived for the people of the city center!!!
Living Like a Queen without You: Help! Longjing Shrimp is my favorite, Delicious Restaurant finally offers one of Zhejiang Cuisine’s ten classic dishes, Longjing Shrimp. Also, Boiled Cabbage sounds fancy, Braised Turtle sounds tempting, should be delicious, I just want to know if there’s a branch near West City Old Street? Super duper want to eat it!!!
Desires Lure Human Hearts*: Let’s say, since Delicious Restaurant is starting to open branches, who knows when it’ll come to Lin City. Finally, there’s a little bit of hope for this life (hoping it’s not one of those ’some day in our lifetime’ situations), but really, really envious of the people in the city center!
Heads Up and Smile, as Bright as a Sunflower: I knew about Boss Huang’s new store opening two hours ago, don’t ask me why, just know there were ads on the exterior walls of two malls and two commercial buildings in the city center showing Boss Huang’s opening date.
┌Girl-like Structure, Want Naàì: Wow, exterior wall ad spots in the city center, and four at once, Boss Huang’s financial power is truly not to be underestimated!
The Last Generation灬Team: I finally know why so many people are buying houses in Gangyuan Court these days; it’s all to be close to Boss Huang’s delicious food! By the way, Boss Huang has actually driven up property sales with just his one store...
Love Is Actually Simple: Ahhh! Really want to eat Longjing Shrimp, Boiled Cabbage, Braised Turtle...
This evening, the comments under Delicious Restaurant’s official Weibo account were incredibly many, with people envious of the city center population, shocked that Delicious Restaurant would quietly open a branch, astonished at Huang Tao’s generosity in buying ad spots, and flabbergasted by those buying houses just to eat Boss Huang’s dishes. Some only realized after-the-fact why Huang Tao had been so busy lately—it was because he was opening a new branch.
Fans of Delicious Restaurant from all over the country couldn’t help but start hoping, thinking one day a branch might open right at their doorstep.
Of course.
After the surprise and curiosity subsided, it was time to focus back on the dishes themselves.
Longjing Shrimp is a well-known dish of Zhejiang Cuisine, primarily famed for its delicious taste, and the shrimp is particularly tasty.
Boiled Cabbage is rarely heard of, generally not served in hotels, and most customers and netizens haven’t heard of it, but just hearing the name suggests a taste that should be delightful.
Braised Turtle, by name, is known to be a dish with rich color, so the taste would surely be delicious too.
One comment asked if there was a branch near West City Old Street, as the Weibo caption mentioned that the new dishes were introduced to celebrate the opening of a new branch.
Residents of West City Street were all eagerly waiting until finally getting a reply from the official account:
Delicious Restaurant: Dear, at the West City Old Street location, lunches and dinners currently focus on various marinated rice dishes, crab stir-fried cake, and Yellow Croaker Noodles. Other dishes will be introduced gradually in the future~ Please look forward to it, thank you for your support!
This reply might as well have been no reply at all, instantly raising cries of anguish from countless people.
Among them, this comment received the most likes:
Cried, cried, the West City Old Street location won’t introduce these three new dishes, not even other dishes will be available. Boss Huang, you’re forcing me to drive over on Saturday to join the fun!!!
Fans from the city center who envied West City Old Street’s location numerous times were overjoyed to see this Weibo post!
Then, upon checking the calendar, the 18th day of the first lunar month happens to be Saturday.
At that moment, they all eagerly invited friends and family:
"Hey, do you have time this Saturday? I’ll take you to eat something tasty, that Delicious Restaurant I’ve mentioned countless times! Yes, it’s opening a branch in our city center, right on Zhonghua Road, pretty close to us, so we must go eat and show some support."
"Huh? You ask what’s good? There’s plenty of delicious things, like marinated Squirrel Mandarin Fish, meat and vegetarian Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, Stewed Pork with Dried Vegetables, Deep-fried Beancurd Rolls, Braised Prawns, Honeyed Ham, West Lake Vinegar Fish, Dongpo Pork, and more. Besides, drinks like mung bean smoothie and coconut milk icy smoothie are available, and the new branch will also have Longjing Shrimp, Boiled Cabbage, and Braised Turtle! Surely, there must be something you like? Okay then, let’s set it for Saturday lunch, let’s go!" freewebnøvel.coɱ
"Yes, yes, it’s the same Delicious Restaurant that participated in the food festival last year, now opening a branch in the city center, let’s go eat!"
Huang Tao watched the ever-increasing heat on Weibo and felt pretty joyful inside.
Hopefully, the opening goes smoothly.
Of course.
The main thing is to rake in money every day...
And then become a shallow yet happy magnate...
Just thinking about it is wonderful!
