Chapter 418: Chapter 384: Always Saying the Wrong Thing at the Wrong Time

The living room.

Weiwei sat comfortably on the sofa, fully absorbed in watching the "Peppa Pig" cartoon.

"Giggle~"

Whenever Weiwei saw a funny scene, she couldn’t help but let out a string of crisp laughter like silver bells, her small feet gently swaying with delight.

Next to her, Yang Yuxi picked up a cherry, thoughtfully removed the pit, and brought the flesh to Weiwei’s mouth.

"Thank you, Miss!"

Weiwei was slightly stunned, then opened her mouth to take the cherry, chewing it and humming contentedly.

Enjoying her favorite cartoon while being fed at the same time.

This is simply too cozy!

Qingqing saw this and couldn’t help but shake her head with a bit of helplessness, reaching out to gently pat Weiwei’s little arm, and said, "Sister, we’re the hosts, Miss Yang is the guest. How can the host let the guest feed them? Get up and eat by yourself~"

Hmm~

It’s a good point, leaving Weiwei speechless.

"Alright! I know..."

Weiwei pouted her small lips, then slid off the sofa, picked up a cherry, first offered it to Yang Yuxi, then to Qingqing, and said, "Miss Yang, sister, please have some fruit."

"Miss Yang, this mango is so sweet, you should try it..." Qingqing also showed great hospitality, stabbing a small piece of mango and feeding it to Yang Yuxi.

"So well-behaved!"

Yang Yuxi initially felt a bit sad from Qingqing’s words "Miss Yang is the guest", but the feeding gesture from Weiwei and Qingqing instantly replaced that uncomfortable sense of distance with warmth and closeness, making her feel a warm family atmosphere.

This feeling is indescribable but undoubtedly beautiful!

Faced with Weiwei’s enthusiastic feeding, Yang Yuxi welcomed it all, eating several cherries and mango pieces.

But upon smelling the aroma wafting from the kitchen, she suddenly realized she couldn’t eat more.

She smiled at Weiwei, waved her hand to gracefully refuse, saying, "Thank you, Weiwei, your dad’s cooking smells so good, Miss needs to save some room to eat your dad’s dishes!"

Qingqing noticed the teacher praising dad’s cooking skills and immediately raised her little head, excited to share, "Tonight my dad is making scallion oil braised chicken, dad says the chicken is tender, with a refreshingly rich flavor, the aroma of scallions fills the air, making the whole house fragrant! Miss Yang, can you smell it?"

Weiwei blinked her eyes, repeating what Huang Jun said, "Dad also said if you use chicken to make chicken noodle soup, the rich broth with the slippery noodles is simply delicious..."

Smelling the increasingly rich aroma from the kitchen and hearing their descriptions, Yang Yuxi’s stomach involuntarily growled.

This is truly embarrassing!

Weiwei couldn’t help but laugh, covering her mouth and giggling, "Miss Yang, your tummy is singing!"

Those words made Yang Yuxi’s pretty face blush, revealing an awkward yet polite smile, but she candidly replied, "Yes, Miss Yang’s tummy is singing from the aroma of your dad’s cooking!"

She said that and playfully winked at Weiwei.

The sensitive Qingqing vaguely sensed Yang Yuxi’s embarrassment, soothing the atmosphere, "Miss Yang, my little tummy often sings from my dad’s delicious cooking too. Every time dad cooks, it’s like there’s... a food festival happening... the whole room smells so good I can’t help but want to eat right away!"

Such a warm-hearted little one!

Yang Yuxi affectionately tapped Qingqing’s cute little nose.

Weiwei blinked approvingly and nodded, "I’m the same, every dish dad makes smells so good, it makes my little tummy growl, couldn’t wait for dinner~"

During the conversation.

Yang Yuxi inadvertently glanced at Huang Jun, holding bowls and chopsticks as he stepped out from the kitchen threshold, realizing that dinner was about to start, her lips curved into a gentle smile and she stood to help.

As she walked, she remarked, "Qingqing’s dad, every time I smell your cooking, it’s particularly fragrant..."

Catching up behind her, Weiwei, with a mischievous grin, laughed, "Dad, did you know? Miss Yang was so tempted by your cooking that her little tummy started "singing"!"

Yang Yuxi: "..."

This little one, truly hitting the nerve...

The image of a little fairy that the teacher built painstakingly for over twenty years was thoroughly shattered by this little one today.

Huang Jun saw Yang Yuxi wishing she could dig out a three-bedroom set out of embarrassment and eased her distress, "Miss Yang is human too, hungry tummies naturally sing, what’s there to be surprised about? Besides, probably it’s because dad cooked later today, making Miss Yang wait longer, leading to this "melodious" singing."

Weiwei’s bright eyes flickered in thought, then she smiled at Yang Yuxi, saying, "Miss Yang, you should eat more later, so your little tummy won’t sing anymore!"

"Okay, I’ll definitely eat more."

Yang Yuxi responded with a smile, while feeling warmed by Huang Jun’s thoughtfulness, recalling her task and offering to help, "Qingqing’s dad, let me help you set the table."

```

"Alright, then I’ll leave it to you."

Huang Jun smiled and nodded, first handing the bowl he was holding to her and then looked at Qingqing’s eager face: "Daddy, me too, I want to help~"

Seeing the little one wanting to help, Huang Jun handed the chopsticks to Qingqing.

Qingqing took the chopsticks, stood by the table, tiptoed, and began to place the chopsticks earnestly.

"Wow, Qingqing is doing such a great job, so serious about it!" Yang Yuxi couldn’t help but praise upon seeing Qingqing’s performance.

Qingqing blushed a little from the praise, showing a sweet smile on her face.

Seeing her sister getting praised by the teacher, Weiwei couldn’t help but volunteer: "Daddy, I want to help too~"

"Alright! You can take the spoons..." Huang Jun laughed and handed Weiwei a small bundle of spoons.

Yang Yuxi immediately saw through Weiwei’s little thoughts but still smiled and praised, "Weiwei is great too, helping out!"

With everyone’s efforts, in a moment, all the tableware was set, and the dishes were gradually being placed on the dining table.

For a moment...

The living room was filled with an enticing aroma!

Yang Yuxi’s gaze swept over the dining table from the plate of verdant hand-torn cabbage, the fragrant stir-fried green beans and potatoes, the savory home-cooked pomfret, to the sweet and sour tomatoes and eggs, and finally landed on the aromatic scallion oil braised chicken.

The golden chicken pieces were neatly stacked in the center of the white porcelain plate, each piece coated in rich scallion oil sauce, shimmering with an inviting luster.

The chicken’s texture was clearly visible, revealing a tempting tenderness, as if a gentle bite would let it melt on the tongue.

A few green onion segments were scattered on the plate’s edge, contrasting sharply with the golden chicken, adding a touch of fresh color and a faint onion fragrance.

The sauce slightly flowed on the porcelain plate, intertwining with the chicken and onion, making it tempting just to look at.

It must be said, among these dishes, the aroma of the scallion oil braised chicken was the most domineering and the most alluring in color.

Yang Yuxi couldn’t help but praise, "Qingqing’s dad, this scallion oil braised chicken is perfect in color, aroma, and taste, it makes one’s appetite soar just seeing it!"

"Thanks for the compliment."

Huang Jun gave a slight smile and invited, "Miss Yang, then try it, see if this scallion oil braised chicken suits your palate."

"I’m sure it will, every dish you make smells so good, especially this scallion oil braised chicken, it’s almost made me dizzy with its aroma, how could I not like it?" Yang Yuxi smiled gracefully.

With that, she picked up her chopsticks and reached for the tempting scallion oil braised chicken.

She picked a piece of chicken coated in glossy scallion oil sauce and slowly brought it to her mouth.

The chicken’s deliciousness was instantly released on the tongue, first with a slight crunch from the crispy chicken skin, followed by the tender, juicy meat inside that required almost no effort to chew, letting the alluring flavor spread in the mouth.

The chicken was tender and smooth, every bite accompanied by a faint crunch, a melody of the chicken fibers gently unfolding on the tongue.

Then, the fragrance of the scallion oil gradually expanded throughout the mouth.

The scallion oil had been simmered to mellow out the onion’s sharpness, leaving only a rich scallion aroma that even those who usually dislike onions could easily appreciate.

This scallion oil sauce blended the fresh scent of scallion, the savory saltiness of soy sauce, and a hint of sweetness, creating a complex flavor that’s endlessly memorable.

The slight greasiness added a rich, full-bodied texture to the chicken, making it taste even better the more it was chewed, leaving a lingering aroma even after swallowing...

Yang Yuxi couldn’t help but praise, "Qingqing’s dad, how could this scallion oil braised chicken be described as just ’delicious’? It’s utterly exquisite!"

Huang Jun responded with a smile, "If you like it, eat more, there’s still plenty of scallion oil braised chicken in the pot!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely have more!"

Yang Yuxi’s chopsticks danced continuously over the scallion oil braised chicken as she ate several pieces, satisfying her craving before picking up a pan-fried potato slice to taste.

She thought that after eating the rich, flavorful scallion oil braised chicken, other dishes might seem pale in comparison, but as she put a potato slice in her mouth, she realized she was wrong.

The potatoes had been pan-fried to form a slightly crispy crust on the outside, while remaining soft and delicate inside, paired with the perfect amount of seasoning, making each bite more delicious.

She had always had a special fondness for potatoes, be it French fries, mashed potatoes, or stir-fried shredded potatoes, she couldn’t resist anything related to potatoes.

At this moment, she was pleasantly surprised by the simple pan-fried potatoes, realizing that even without a fried crust, pan-frying could also bring out the distinct flavor of potatoes.

Every bite made her rediscover the potential of potatoes, realizing that besides fried chips, pan-frying could also provide such a wonderful taste experience.

This could definitely be a snack!

So aromatic!

Indeed.

Huang Jun’s culinary skills never disappoint!
