Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 270 - 255: Were You Polite?

The alluring aroma of the steamed cakes wafted out quietly through the cracks of the kitchen doors and windows, dancing with the breeze and gradually permeating the surrounding air.

The sweet scent...

Silky and smooth like silk, it drifted gently in the breeze towards the distance, until it reached every corner of the large playground...

On the stage...

"Chinese style is so grand, Chinese style is so cool, the yellow skin washed by the Yellow River, this color won’t change in five thousand years..."

The children of Class (2), wearing matching red sportswear, energetically followed the rhythm of "Chinese Style" while dribbling basketballs.

The basketballs in their hands seemed to be imbued with life, flying up and down, sometimes tossed high, sometimes dribbled low, each time hitting the ground with a crisp sound.

And with every turn, every jump, the children executed their movements with precision, full of powerful beauty...

Below the stage...

The young audience and their parents were also infected by this enthusiasm.

Their eyes closely followed every move of the children from Class (2), often bursting into rounds of applause and cheers.

The parents of Class (2) had proud smiles spreading across their faces, using their phones to record this unforgettable moment.

However...

As the aroma of steamed cakes grew stronger...

Neither the children performing on stage nor the children and parents watching below could resist being attracted by the alluring smell...

Wow...

What a sweet scent~

I really want to eat it~

Then...

Their heads unconsciously tilted toward the source of the aroma...

Everyone was distracted!

This is bad...

The kids in Class (2) were so tempted by the smell that they forgot their next moves, and the basketballs in their hands started to slip out of control...

Slipped away from their palms...

Oops!

The Class (2) head teacher and assistant teacher, who were just immersed in the aroma, turned to witness the chaotic scene on the stage and felt utterly distressed.

This aroma... why did it have to come at this time?

Isn’t this causing trouble?

But now that the situation has arisen, worrying won’t help.

The head teacher and assistant teacher quickly adjusted their mindset, using gestures and loudly reminding the children on stage: "Ball, watch the ball!"

Upon hearing the shout from below the stage, the children from Class (2) instinctively looked at the head teacher and assistant teacher below, revealing a puzzled expression of "Who am I, where am I, what am I supposed to do?" until the teacher shouted "ball," and they suddenly realized, starting a "find the ball all over the stage" mode.

To be honest, this scene... is filled with comedic effect...

Causing the children and parents below the stage to burst into laughter.

As for the parents of Class (2), they were completely unfazed by the distraction during the children’s performance. Capturing the moment with their phones was the right way to go.

Below the stage, Yang Yuxi and Xie Jianing watched the scene, almost wondering if Huang Jun deliberately "released poison" to distract the opponents?

Definitely not!

Just saying, everything is a coincidence!

Other teachers still waiting for their turn were already starting to shiver.

Afraid the children’s noses would follow the aroma, affecting the overall performance... 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

After all, if the older kids of Class (2) got distracted, can the younger kids in the small and medium classes be far behind?

"It smells so good... Mama, I want to eat..."

Chenchen from Class (3), smelling the increasingly strong sweet scent, couldn’t help but greedily stick out his little tongue and lick the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, after the performance, mommy will take you to buy some."

Lin Huiyi affectionately patted Chenchen’s head, soothingly reassuring him, but her mind was puzzled, mumbling to herself, "How strange, didn’t the kindergarten say there wouldn’t be any snacks and lunch today? How come there’s such an enticing aroma coming from the kitchen?"

Qu Qing, separated by a small path, heard and laughed, explaining the blind spot, "Oh, that’s because Qingqing’s dad from Class (4) is making special snacks as a reward for the children!"

Huh?

Qingqing’s dad from Class (4), isn’t he Chef Huang from the kindergarten?!

Wait a minute!

What’s this so-called culinary reward all about?

How come they’ve never heard of it?

The nearby parents from other classes, upon hearing this, were somewhat curious and looked at Qu Qing, asking questions one after another.

"Excuse me, what’s going on? Is there a culinary reward at the kindergarten?"

"Is this culinary reward for every child in the kindergarten?"

"Do the parents get a share?"

Don’t ask why!

If you ask, they want to eat too!

Qu Qing looked at these covetous parents from various classes: "..."

What are you thinking?

Do parents get a share?

This is something she doesn’t dare imagine...

Better go to sleep early, everything is possible in dreams!

Qu Qing couldn’t help but show a speechless expression of "I’m sharing news with you, but you’re craving our class’s culinary reward," helplessly shaking her head: "This is a reward given by Qingqing’s dad to the children of Class (4), so the other children at the kindergarten don’t receive it, and parents definitely don’t either..."

Now.

The parents were a bit unsettled!

Could this be what they call "privileged proximity benefits"?

But the issue is...

Why should the kindergarten children be treated differently even if they’re all from Dorami Kindergarten?

Upholding the principle of asking when unsure, Lin Huiyi puzzledly inquired: "Why is it only prepared for the children of Class (4)? Not for all the children in the kindergarten? Is it simply because Chef Huang’s two daughters are in Class (4), so he specially favors them?"

Other parents agreed: "Absolutely, what’s the deal with Chef Huang’s culinary reward? If it’s only made for the children of Class (4), isn’t it a bit... unfair for the other classes’ children when enrolling in the kindergarten?"

Qu Qing: "..."

This isn’t how the script goes, right?

Shouldn’t they be jealous of her?

How did it turn into unfairness?

This is definitely pure jealousy...

She wore a smiling face but responded mentally with a "damn it": "Qingqing’s dad is doing this to motivate the kids in Class 4 to practice and perform better, so he came up with this reward."

Yang Yuxi saw this and added with a smile: "This is Chef Huang’s gesture as a parent, specially preparing a reward for the kids in our class. All the ingredients were purchased out of his pocket, he just used the kindergarten’s kitchen to make it."

About this matter, Huang Jun had already reported it to Liang Yinqiu and got her approval.

As for the ingredients!

Originally, Huang Jun intended to pay for them himself.

But Liang Yinqiu, with her wealth, didn’t mind the cost of the ingredients, so she let Huang Jun use the kindergarten’s supplies directly.

Of course, outwardly they kept a unified story, saying Chef Huang was using his own resources as a parent to avoid making other parents jealous and reporting back to her.

"So that’s how it is..."

The parents from other classes felt a bit disappointed but understood, while also being envious of the kids and parents of Class 3.

After all, the parents also get to benefit by having a bite...

Alas!

If only their kids were in Class 3, then this "huge fortune" would also reach them as parents...

Lin Huiyi looked at Yang Yuxi with anticipation and said: "Miss Yang, my Chenchen really likes the atmosphere in your class. He often mentions that the teacher in Class 4 is both beautiful and gentle. I truly feel that if Chenchen could transfer to your class, he would be happier and more satisfied. I wonder what you think about it, Miss Yang? If you think it’s feasible, I’ll immediately discuss the transfer with Director Liang."

Chenchen: "゛(’◇’)?"

Eh?

Why did mom say that?

I never said that!

Parents from other classes: "(•’╻’•)꒳ᵒ꒳ᵎᵎᵎ"

Oh!

Is that an option?

Maybe they should try it too?

Other parents instantly caught on and started to follow Lin Huiyi’s approach, expressing their desire to transfer classes to Yang Yuxi: "Yeah, Miss Yang, my child also wants to transfer to your class; could you help with that?"

The two kids from Class 3, Jiang Xinzhuo and Wei Siyi: "..."

Hey~

Parents, making transfer requests right in front of us, is that polite?

Yang Yuxi: "..."

The transfer request is just an excuse; you actually want the delicious reward from our class...

Yang Yuxi apologized with a smile: "Sorry, parents, our class is already full and can’t accept new students at the moment. Besides, each class has its own unique atmosphere, and I believe your kids can also grow well in their current classes."

Even though they knew this would be the outcome, they still felt a bit disappointed when it was confirmed.

But what else could they do?

They could only silently accept and be intensely envious of the parents of Class 4~

This wave of envious gazes filled the parents of Class 4 with a sense of superiority...

Ah...

Being envied really feels awesome...

Ah...

Let the envy come even more intensely...

...

Huang Jun had no idea that other parents were considering transferring their kids to Class 4 just for a bite of food.

Now.

He led everyone, taking the cooled panda heads out of the molds one by one, placing them on the prepared cakes, meaning the Panda Lava Cakes were ready!

Seeing their appearance, Aunt Li and Aunt Lin couldn’t help but exclaim "Wow".

Aunt Lin excitedly said: "These Panda Lava Cakes are so cute, it feels like the kids would be reluctant to eat them after getting them!"

Aunt Li nodded repeatedly: "Not just the kids, even I feel reluctant to eat such cute Panda Lava Cakes!"

Qian Guoxiang laughed and countered: "Weren’t these Panda Lava Cakes made to be eaten? What’s there to hesitate over?"

Wan Zhenhong joked: "Assistant Chef Qian, didn’t expect you to be such an unfeeling iron mouth..."

Qian Guoxiang: "Director Wan, with your kind heart, maybe you shouldn’t eat then!"

Wan Zhenhong: "..."

Not eating is impossible, it’s never going to happen in this lifetime...

Qian Guoxiang picked up a Panda Cake, tore it open, and took a bite, devouring half of the panda’s head in one go.

The outer cake had a delicate texture, with a faint sweet aroma and the fragrance of osmanthus syrup, melting right in the mouth and leaving a lasting flavor.

The inner filling burst out instantly, its rich sweetness spreading inside the mouth.

This filling wasn’t just simply sweet, but carried a smooth and rich flavor that was just right...

Gulp~

Gulp~

Gulp~

Wan Zhenhong, Liu Shiwei, and Lin Weilin all had their eyes glued to the half piece of the flowing custard Panda Cake in Qian Guoxiang’s hand, swallowing unconsciously.

"Chef Huang, um, can I have a taste?" Wan Zhenhong begged, rubbing his hands together, craving a bite.

Liu Shiwei dramatically said on the spot: "Brother Huang, I came straight here without breakfast, and now my old stomach problem is acting up, and it hurts quite a bit. Do you really have the heart to see me like this?"

Lin Weilin stood with an expression of "I’ll just watch silently," his eyes glued to Qian Guoxiang, fully expressing his thought - I want to eat too!

Looking at their craving faces, Huang Jun couldn’t help but chuckle, simultaneously handing them some Panda Lava Cakes: "Go ahead and eat!"

"Brother Huang really knows how to take care of me..."

Liu Shiwei and the others immediately grabbed them, eagerly starting to taste.

The delicate outer layer and the faint sweet aroma, along with the rich flowing inner filling, exploded in their mouths, leaving them utterly indulged...
