Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 122 - 118: One Day Apart Feels Like Three Years
In an instant...
The kindergarten’s tent camp was enveloped in a delicious aroma, spreading like a tidal wave, rich and captivating.
This aroma seemed to have an invisible magic, drawing the other teachers from the kindergarten, who couldn’t help but follow the scent, slowly gathering at Huang Jun’s cooking area.
The next second...
Their eyes all simultaneously focused on the stir-fried noodles in the pot...
Those golden noodles danced in the pan, intertwined with the rich eggs, green scallions, fresh shrimp and eel jerky, and refreshing vegetables and tempting golden meat strips, harmoniously blending together, releasing an intoxicating fragrance.
This scene was like a culinary painting of colors, aromas, and flavors gradually unfolding before their eyes...
"Gulp~"
They couldn’t help but swallow, completely conquered by this delicious dish.
Cai Jingxian’s eyes revealed an undeniable longing and desire as she couldn’t help but exclaim, "Tsk tsk tsk, just smelling this enticing aroma feels like being lost in a sea of gastronomy. I can hardly imagine how delicious it would be to actually eat it! I’m afraid I might swallow my tongue along with it..."
Wei Siyi also couldn’t help but take a deep breath, her face glowing with indescribable joy.
She declared firmly, "I swear, this weekend is definitely going to be the most pleasant and joyful time of my life so far. Although my stomach is already growling with hunger, it doesn’t lessen my anticipation and cherish for this wonderful weekend at all. I still believe this weekend will be the most unforgettable and delightful time of my life."
Jiang Xinzhuo, however, laughed heartily and said, "Eat, eat, eat, today I’m going to treat myself well, have a big meal, and if necessary, spend the whole day exercising and losing weight tomorrow!"
"Oh dear, that means you won’t be eating the meals in the park tomorrow afternoon? Those are made by Chef Huang. If you don’t plan to eat, then leave them for me. I’ll take them home to reheat and have them for dinner!" Xie Jianing teased with a sly gleam in her eyes.
Jiang Xinzhuo: "..."
Oh, Xie Jianing, I thought you were a good friend, but you’re eyeing my food...
After giving Xie Jianing a speechless look that seemed to say, "There’s always someone thinking about my food," she immediately changed her mind and said, "Of course, I’ll eat it. As long as it’s made by Chef Huang, even if it leads to gaining weight, I’ll eat it! After all, my dream is to eat all the dishes prepared by Chef Huang!"
"Exactly, exactly, as long as I can keep eating what Chef Huang makes, even dying from obesity would be worth it!" Zheng Yujia agreed wholeheartedly.
The other teachers nodded in agreement.
Liu Suyu felt the same, completely agreeing with the sentiment.
Suddenly, a playful glint appeared in her eyes, and she suggested to Director Liang with a light and joyful smile, "Director Liang, I have an idea. Shouldn’t our kindergarten consider adding some fitness equipment and creating a gym for our staff? After all, if our teachers all turn into ’chubby teachers’ in the future, how would we attract the attention of parents and children?"
"Manager Liu’s suggestion is fantastic!" Wei Siyi’s eyes lit up with delight, "If there were a staff gym at our kindergarten, I could save a lot on gym expenses and wouldn’t have to worry about getting a gym membership."
Zheng Yujia nodded in agreement, "I completely support this idea. Even if the year-end bonus is reduced a bit, I’d be willing!"
At this moment, everyone expressed their support for Liu Suyu’s proposal, making the atmosphere unusually lively.
Director Liang, however, responded with a smile, "Actually, with a chef like Chef Huang, do I even need to worry about enrollment? His food alone is enough to attract countless parents and children."
This practically made Chef Huang a golden signboard for enrollment!
Faced with Liang Yinqiu’s statement, no one present objected; everyone felt she was making perfect sense, and they wholeheartedly believed her words.
Huang Jun, while serving the stir-fried noodles, couldn’t help but pause for a moment, feeling a mix of emotions: What virtue and ability does this humble person possess, to be so valued and trusted by the director?
Just when everyone thought the proposal for a staff gym was hopeless, Director Liang Yinqiu continued, "However, setting up a staff gym is indeed a good idea. This way, our teachers can maintain a healthy physique and provide better education and service to the children. Of course, we also need to add some equipment suitable for the kids, so they can exercise more and not become a bunch of chubbies who can’t control their eating."
Just as the teachers were calling Director Liang "wise," Huang Jun had already served the first plate of stir-fried noodles and asked with a smile, "Who wants it?"
"Me, me..."
The moment they heard this, the teachers stopped praising Director Liang and all shouted at Huang Jun.
A second ago, they were eagerly complimenting her, and the next, they completely ignored Liang Yinqiu: "..."
Well, then!
As the director of a kindergarten, she was less important to these teachers than a plate of stir-fried noodles...
And that tempting plate of golden, aromatic stir-fried noodles was finally claimed by Xie Jianing, who was nearby and managed to snatch it.
With chopsticks in hand, she picked up a big mouthful of stir-fried noodles and gently put it in her mouth.
The noodles were distinct, fragrant, but not greasy.
This was Xie Jianing’s first impression.
As soon as it entered her mouth, the aroma instantly collided with her taste buds, making her involuntarily close her eyes and savor the wonderful flavor.
With each bite, she could clearly feel the elasticity and crispness of each noodle strand as it broke.
The ingredients in the stir-fried noodles also left a deep impression on her.
The tenderness of the eggs, the freshness of the shrimp, the savory eel jerky, and the freshness of various vegetables, all these ingredients perfectly melded during the cooking process, retaining their unique flavors while complementing each other, resulting in a rich and delicate taste.
"Mmm!"
Xie Jianing let out a satisfied sigh.
To prevent the enticing aroma from escaping, she kept her mouth tightly shut, worried that if she opened it, the captivating aroma would slip away.
However, everyone could still see the deliciousness of the stir-fried noodles from the rosy glow and contented expression on her face...
Several moments passed.
Xie Jianing slowly opened her tightly closed eyes, her eyes shining with excitement as she exclaimed:
"Wow! This is so delicious... I’ve never had such amazing stir-fried noodles before... Everyone, give it a try..."
Before she could finish her sentence.
Everyone around couldn’t wait to take action, embodying the spirit of "doing it themselves, having enough to eat," grabbing chopsticks and plates, eagerly reaching for the pot of aromatic stir-fried noodles, quickly taking some and putting it on their plates, and started eating.
And then...
Everyone was conquered!
Cai Jingxian’s beautiful eyes sparkled with surprise, "Wow... This stir-fried noodles taste so good... So good that I could swallow my tongue..."
Zheng Yujia couldn’t help but sigh, "Mmm, so fragrant... It’s so fragrant I’m about to cry..."
Wei Siyi praised, "The stir-fried noodles have the perfect color, aroma, and taste; I intended to write a poem to present to the world, but alas, I’m not cultured, so I’ll just let its deliciousness conquer the world..."
Yang Yuxi with a smile added, "Yes, indeed, I, as a teacher, can’t find the right words to describe this delicacy. It’s like I’ve wasted all those years of learning..."
Jiang Xinzhuo said excitedly, "It’s not easy, really not easy. I can finally indulge and enjoy the dishes made by Chef Huang... Chef Huang, you have no idea how much I missed you all day yesterday..."
Xie Jianing nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, me too! My longing for Qingqing’s father is like a day without him feels like three years apart!"
"..."
Crazy, completely crazy!
At this moment, these teachers no longer had their usual dignified and composed demeanor! They spoke without thinking.
Honestly speaking.
The way you all are acting could easily lead to misunderstandings!
Those who know you will understand that you’re drooling over Huang Jun’s culinary skills, but those who don’t might mistakenly think you’re infatuated with Huang Jun himself!
