Early the next morning, Bai Jingyang learned that "Taste of the World" had already paid a visit.
"Ah, I should've known I'd better go back later last night!"
Bai Jingyang's other three friends had left one after another in the afternoon the day before. Of course, before leaving, they packed quite a lot of food. Afraid that they wouldn't be allowed to take the food on the plane, they specifically booked high - speed train tickets to go back, which really made Yuan Tiantian laugh and cry. Fortunately, this place wasn't too far from City S. It only took about three hours by high - speed train.
In response to Bai Jingyang's regretful words, Yuan Tiantian didn't respond. Instead, she asked him,
"When are you going back?"
He had been staying here for almost a week. Yuan Tiantian was also curious. Didn't Bai Jingyang have anything else to do?
"Go back? Why should I go back?!"
Bai Jingyang looked at Yuan Tiantian in surprise, then said seriously, "I'm already working for you. I'm your employee! How could I just leave casually?!"
"Little boss, you're not going to kick me out just because I eat a lot in the morning, are you?!"
"That's not okay! I'm the Weibo manager you hired!"
Yuan Tiantian: "......"
This guy was really good at arguing. She had just asked a question, and he just rambled on. Yuan Tiantian rolled her eyes at him, then called Sheng Jing and took Xiaojiu out to buy groceries. Could he eat more than Bai Ying? He had no idea!
Watching Yuan Tiantian's departing back, Bai Jingyang chuckled. He didn't want to leave at all. There was nothing to do if he went back. It was nice to stay here. Thinking of this, he took another big mouthful of seafood congee. Seeing this, Bai Ying quickly speeded up. The food in the pot was first - come - first - served. Once it was gone, there would be none left! Alas, he was in a tough situation too. Now there was always someone coming to compete for breakfast!
At noon, there were a bit more customers. Maybe it was just the weekend. Among them, there were a few people Bai Jingyang knew.
"Hey, it's you!"
When Bai Jingyang saw the person coming, he immediately smiled. That day when the swimming crabs were knocked over, it attracted a group of people. The fragrance was really mouth - watering. Many people asked him where to buy the swimming crabs. Naturally, Bai Jingyang told them the address directly. However, he didn't seem to see those who asked this question come to eat in the past few days. He thought those people wouldn't come, but unexpectedly, he met the first person who had inquired that day.
The person was a very chubby and plump big guy. He looked very prosperous.
When he saw Bai Jingyang, he knew he had found the right place.
"Haha, it seems I've really found the right place. I've been busy in the past few days and had no time to come. I made time today no matter what. I must come and have a look! I didn't expect to see you here too?!"
Bai Jingyang chuckled and then said that he was currently living in the village behind and ate here every day. He didn't want to go home at all. After hearing this, the big guy was really looking forward to it. It seemed that the food here was really good, otherwise this guy wouldn't be so reluctant to leave. Although he was mentally prepared that the food here would be delicious, when he actually took a bite, he was completely conquered. He also wanted to eat here every day!
Today's menu included shrimp fried rice with eggs, white rice, bamboo shoots and braised pork, fresh mushroom and green vegetables, steamed pumpkin, winter melon and kelp soup, and lemonade.
This guy ordered everything except the two vegetarian dishes and white rice. When the bamboo shoots and braised pork were served, seeing the thick gravy, he looked at the shrimp fried rice, thought for a while, and then ordered another portion of white rice. Then he scooped up a spoonful of the meat broth and poured it directly on the rice. After taking a bite, he was extremely satisfied.
The freshness of the bamboo shoots was perfectly brought out, and the braised pork was greasy but not cloying. One bite was smooth and delicious. The half - fat and half - lean part was exactly the essence of the braised meat. It was incredibly delicious. In the winter, a little dried shrimp was added to the kelp soup, making it even more fragrant. The guy couldn't stop eating. At the end of the meal, if he hadn't been really full, he would have wanted another portion!
"It's really delicious. It was worth coming! I was a bit worried because I didn't see the swimming crabs today. I was afraid the other dishes wouldn't be good, but it seems I was overthinking it!"
Hearing this, Bai Jingyang immediately laughed and then patted the guy on the shoulder.
"You must believe that every dish in Tiantian's Food Store won't disappoint!"
The guy quickly nodded. After thinking for a while, he finally decided not to go back in the afternoon. He would take a stroll around here, come back for dinner in the evening, and catch a plane back early tomorrow. Yes, he wasn't a local. He came here for work. Just thinking that he might not have the chance to eat such delicious food after going back made him a bit sad.
Maybe he would take his wife and kids on a trip here after going back and then come here to eat?
Actually, the trip was just an excuse. Eating was the real purpose. It was really straightforward.
After lunch, just as Yuan Tiantian was about to close the store for a rest, she saw a few young people coming together in the distance. They were looking around and checking her store with their phones. Were they customers coming to eat? As those people got closer, just as Yuan Tiantian was about to go up and greet them, she saw Bai Jingyang running over in a hurry.
"You're all here?!"
Bai Jingyang knew them? Yuan Tiantian was a bit curious. But then an idea flashed through her mind, and she suddenly understood. These must be the lucky foodies who won the lottery on Weibo!
Sure enough, after Bai Jingyang introduced them, it was indeed the case. A total of eight people came, five men and three women. Three men and two women were the lucky winners, and the remaining three came at their own expense with their lucky friends. They wanted to see what Tiantian's Food Store was really like.
These people had also watched the actual on - site video of "Taste of the World" about Tiantian's Food Store yesterday. Seeing that the blogger was not afraid of being slapped in the face and directly praised the food as delicious, they were really curious. After a private discussion, they came here together.
Seeing this, although it was already the noon break time, Yuan Tiantian still opened the store for them. Since there were eight people, they were divided into two tables. They ordered one portion of each dish on the menu for each table.
"Is it really that delicious?"
After Yuan Tiantian entered the kitchen, a girl asked uncertainly. Sitting on one side, Bai Jingyang didn't say a word. Seeing the girl's skeptical look, he found it funny. She would know how delicious it was soon.
"What's going on?"
Sheng Jing, Bai Ying, and Xiaojiu were originally going to go upstairs to rest. But after waiting for a while, they didn't see Yuan Tiantian come upstairs. Instead, there was a bit of noise downstairs. So Sheng Jing came down to check and unexpectedly saw two tables of people.
"Wow, he, he..."
"He's so good - looking!"
"His voice is so charming!"
When the three girls saw Sheng Jing coming downstairs, they were completely attracted by him. What a man straight out of a comic! How handsome he was! Naturally, Sheng Jing heard their comments. He gave them a cold glance and then directly walked into the kitchen.
"Forget it. Even if the food isn't good, I'll accept it!"
Bai Jingyang sneered in his heart. In Tiantian's Food Store, the good - looking guys were always the second - tier attraction, okay?
Sure enough, after the food was served, all eight of them shut up. Just now they were chatting enthusiastically about the handsome guy, but now their eyes were only on the food.
"It's so delicious!"
In Tiantian's Food Store, getting slapped in the face may be late, but it will never be absent!
