Daddy's Gourmet Shop

Chapter 589 - 573: Xuanxuan Can Support Daddy

"Deng deng deng~"Light footsteps sounded, and a small leg came running from the special table, shouting sweetly and gently, "Daddy~"

"Hey, sweetheart~"

Huang Tao saw her, picked up Xuanxuan and lifted her high, then brushed his cheek against hers and planted a big kiss on her soft little cheek.

Xuanxuan giggled, fluttering her bright eyes, and asked, "Daddy, who called you just now?"

"Oh, that~"

Huang Tao chuckled as he patted her little head, "It was Editor Yang from the ’Lin City Tourism and Cuisine’ magazine."

Lin City Tourism and Cuisine magazine?

Magazine?

Editor?

Oh~

Xuanxuan understood!

Xuanxuan suddenly realized, eyes arched with a smile, "Daddy, does Editor Yang want you to be in their magazine?"

He widened his eyes in surprise, "Wow, how did you know that?"

Xuanxuan pouted her rosy little mouth and said, "I guessed~"

"Daddy, is that right?"

Oh my, you’re such a clever daughter!

"Yes!"

Huang Tao nodded and gently tapped her little nose, "Xuanxuan is really smart, but..."

He hadn’t finished speaking!

He was interrupted by the gathered employees.

Jiang Chao looked surprised, "Boss, are you going to be featured in the Lin City Tourism and Cuisine magazine? That means today is doubly joyous."

Li Chengzhan exclaimed, "Wow, even Lin City Magazine has extended an invitation to you, boss. I must say, boss, you’re mighty impressive! Today you’ll surely dominate all kinds of food travel magazines nationwide."

Lin Qiuyu gave a thumbs up, looking impressed, "Awesome, my boss! To be spotted by the ’Lin City Tourism and Cuisine’ magazine, I wouldn’t even support a grandma crossing the road, only respect you."

Lin Zifeng curiously asked, "Boss, when are you going to do the interview? Has the interview time been set?"

Xu Hao laughed, "Huh? Why did the ’Lin City Tourism and Cuisine’ magazine editor suddenly seek cooperation? Did he come to our restaurant to eat and get impressed by our cuisine, leading to inviting our boss to their magazine? Just like Chief Editor Lin, who, after eating our food at the food festival, immediately said he wanted to do a magazine issue on our restaurant, but I haven’t seen any magazine editor dining here today!"

Jiang Chao said, "Just because an editor doesn’t have ’I’m a Lin City Tourism and Cuisine magazine editor’ written on their face doesn’t mean we can spot them if they stand right in front of us."

Ding Suqin speculated, "That’s right, maybe they didn’t even come to our restaurant but heard about our great food through various channels and called to explore cooperation."

Hey hey hey~

I say, can you guys stop gossiping mindlessly for a moment?

Can you understand the situation before gossiping?

Looking at these excited employees, Huang Tao felt amused and exasperated.

He shook his head helplessly, "They did invite me to be in their magazine, but I didn’t agree."

"Huh?"

The employees looked surprised, "You didn’t agree? Why not?"

"Yes, why not, Daddy?" Xuanxuan blinked her pretty eyes in confusion and asked.

Song Cailian and her husband felt thrilled for a moment hearing their son was going to be featured in a magazine, but then felt puzzled upon hearing he declined, their emotions plummeted like a roller coaster, as they looked at Huang Tao with bafflement.

Huang Tao: "...."

Why so many whys?

Free publicity would certainly be welcome!

But if it costs money...

Then there’s no discussion!

Moreover, they asked for one hundred thousand right off the bat~

That’s not a small amount!

Indeed!

He wouldn’t spend a fortune to buy an ad in a gradually declining print media.

For instance, the Wenling Morning News’ Spring Break travel guide didn’t seem to make much of a splash since its release.

After all, in this internet-dominated era.

Hardly any modern young people habitually read newspapers; they’d rather search online.

Especially Douyin.

Where in Wenling is fun, which bus to take, ticket prices of major attractions, where to go first then where to go next.

Local specialty foods, which are the best to eat...

All these travel guides are clearly and fully arranged for you by travel bloggers on Douyin.

So there!

Whether newspapers or magazines, they are just the icing on the cake.

Their promotional role is extremely limited.

They’re not as hot as a live stream by those food-hunting bloggers!

Having a food-hunting blogger promote once, wouldn’t it require so much money either?

Moreover!

His restaurant is now almost famous throughout Wenling City.

There are also legends of his restaurant in neighboring provinces and cities.

His restaurant currently lacks neither fame nor popularity nor customers...

In short.

Freebies could be considered.

Paying for promotion is out of the question!

He intends to spend that money wisely.

On leasing a new place!

He’ll look at the premises rental ad later for any suitable spots.

Xuanxuan, seeing him daydream and not speaking, shook his arm and asked, "Daddy, why aren’t you talking?"

"Oh, Daddy was thinking!"

Huang Tao chuckled, "The other party asked for one hundred thousand, I thought it was unnecessary, so I didn’t agree."

"That expensive! Then forget it, our restaurant doesn’t need that kind of promotion now." Song Cailian, distressed over the money, suddenly thought this magazine wasn’t appealing anymore.

"Now that print media is in decline, yet they charge such high prices, they really think they’re hot stuff! Who’d even care to be on such a magazine!"

Li Chengzhan couldn’t help but rant.

And with that, the topic came to a close.

Huang Tao picked up his phone, logged into an app, and started browsing premises for rent.

After a cursory look, he didn’t see any suitable spots!

Xuanxuan tugged at his hand, curiously peeking, "Daddy, what are you looking at? Xuanxuan wants to see too, Xuanxuan wants to see..."

"Here~"

Huang Tao handed her the phone, smiling, "Take a look!"

Although Xuanxuan couldn’t read, she managed to deduce some information from the pictures, she turned her head to her dad, curiously asking, "Daddy, are you buying a house?"

Huang Tao laughed, "Daddy is looking to rent a store."

Xuanxuan immediately understood, "Is it to open a branch?"

He reached out, patted her little head, and nodded, "Yes!"

"Have you found a suitable one?" Xuanxuan asked with concern.

"No, it’s not that easy!"

Huang Tao sighed, chuckling bitterly, "In the city center, those are all popular shops, very few people want to transfer them..."

"Daddy, don’t worry, take your time! You’ll definitely find a suitable one!" the little one reassured him.

Oh my!

My darling daughter, actually knows how to comfort people!

He smiled, "So you support Daddy opening a branch?"

Xuanxuan nodded, "Mm, I do, because I think all of Daddy’s decisions are good."

"As long as Daddy and Xuanxuan are together, that’s enough!"

Huang Tao felt warmth envelop his heart and couldn’t help teasing her, "What if Daddy opens a branch and doesn’t make money, and loses money?"

"Ah..."

She hadn’t thought of that!

After all, in her heart, Daddy is omnipotent, the best there is!

She pondered and said, "Daddy, if we don’t earn money, Xuanxuan will eat porridge and buns with you, and even if we lose money, Xuanxuan has New Year money to support Daddy~"

Money or no money.

As long as Daddy is there, it’s all good!
