Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 287 - 271: Only Children Make Choices—Adults Want It All
The sea breeze carried tantalizing aromas of sizzling seafood, mingling with the salty freshness of the ocean and the fervor of charcoal, like invisible tendrils softly caressing every corner of the bustling beach... 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
The intense aroma was impossible to ignore...
"Wait... does anyone else smell something unusual?"
The young man at the front, sporting a trendy duckbill cap, suddenly halted, furrowing his brow with a hint of curiosity, asking those around him.
"I smell it too, it’s quite strong, seems like a barbecue scent, but much more fragrant than usual," his friend beside him responded, flaring his nostrils, trying to capture the exact source of the aroma.
An enthusiast for sizzling squid grinned and said, "I think it’s not just ordinary barbecue; I smell sizzling squid, but it’s richer and more enticing than any I’ve tasted before."
"What the heck is happening to Dongshan Beach today? First, there was that mouthwatering aroma of scallion oil yellow croaker, then the fresh and pure scent of steamed seafood, and now this irresistible sizzling squid? Could it be that someone is cooking sizzling seafood here again?"
"This sizzling seafood smells so good..."
As the tempting aroma lingered around them, people involuntarily paused their conversations, closing their eyes and taking a deep breath to inhale the scent fully.
This aroma blended the savory squid, the sweet shrimp, and the delicious fish...
In short, the fragrance of every kind of seafood was perfectly interpreted by the sizzling grill.
On this bustling beach, the scent of sizzling seafood was like a vivid scenery, not only stimulating the sense of smell but also like an invisible hook, deeply stirring every person’s taste buds.
Continuing to sniff.
Everyone instinctively began to swallow their saliva, exchanging glances full of praise and desire for the aroma.
For a while.
The sizzling squid enthusiast couldn’t suppress his inner cravings any longer and proposed, "It smells so good, my taste buds are itching, can’t be suppressed; how about we go see who’s making this sizzling seafood? I have to say, I’m completely wowed by this scent."
"Yes! This smell is really wonderful; it’s bringing back memories of delicious foods from the past."
"So, do we still continue looking for the chef who made the scallion oil fish and steamed seafood? I’m really curious about how they made that scallion oil fish so fragrant that I still crave it."
"Where to find? That scent has long vanished; neither can the steamed seafood aroma be smelled now, where would we search?"
"That’s right, since we’ve all gathered with the same purpose, it’s a kind of fate; parting here is indeed regretful, let’s follow this aroma and see who this sizzling seafood master is?"
"I also agree; at the very least, getting a closer smell of this sizzling seafood is worthwhile."
"Waaah, Daddy, Mommy, I want to eat scallion oil fish, and I want sizzling squid, I want both..."
"Hey, little one, quite greedy, aren’t you?... But honestly, I want both too..."
"Whether it’s the scallion oil fish or sizzling seafood, they both smell amazing! Even better than the food Qingqing’s dad makes at our kindergarten!"
"Waaah, we all want to eat, we want to eat everything!
"Kids make choices, adults want it all!"
"..."
The intense aroma of sizzling seafood broke the unity of the group originally looking for scallion oil fish and steamed seafood, with many now aiming to find this sizzling seafood expert, but under the children’s influence, they also realized they wanted it all too.
And so...
They decided to pursue both, not giving up on the chef of the scallion oil fish and steamed seafood, and also not missing out on this sizzling seafood ace.
A vigorous crowd, quickened their pace, following the source of the aroma...
...
"Sizzling squid is ready, who wants it?"
Huang Jun held a bunch of sizzling squid skewers he just prepared, smiling as he asked.
"I want some, I do..."
Xie Jianing hurried over, taking the enticingly fragrant squid skewers, and deftly divided them among Yang Yuxi and her friends, warmly inviting, "Come, come, taste the freshly hot sizzling squid, absolutely delicious!"
She didn’t forget to remind Qingqing and Weiwei, "Be careful, it’s hot~"
Without waiting for a reply.
She put the sizzling squid into her mouth.
At the moment of biting down.
The sizzling squid’s exterior gently crunched between her teeth, with a crisp "crack" sound, proof of the squid grilled to perfection on the hot plate, with its crispy exterior being captivating.
This crispy shell not only gave the squid a unique texture but magically locked in the squid’s internal moisture, keeping the meat astonishingly tender and juicy.
Soon, the tender and juicy squid unfolded slowly on her tongue, the fresh flavor of squid mingled perfectly with the grill’s charred aroma, delightfully crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Every fiber of squid was carefully embraced by the spices, bringing out an appropriate spiciness amidst the savory flavor, with a hint of sweet aftertaste in the heat...
"Mm, this sizzling squid is delicious too." Xie Jianing’s pretty face beamed with a satisfied smile, "Not to exaggerate, but this is the best sizzling squid I’ve ever had, every bite is just perfect."
"It’s really delicious, crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside," Yang Yuxi agreed repeatedly.
Liu Suyu couldn’t help but exclaim, "This teppanyaki squid is just too delicious, the texture is fresh, and the flavor is just right!"
"My daddy made it, of course it’s good!"
Qingqing and Weiwei had a slightly proud expression on their faces. They pouted and gently blew on the teppanyaki squid, then carefully took a bite.
They immediately squinted their eyes, "Hmm, really tasty! Daddy is awesome!"
Huang Jun laughed, "If it’s good, eat more! There’s plenty here!"
"Come on, try this teppanyaki shrimp..."
With that, Huang Jun handed them a fragrant serving of teppanyaki shrimp.
Happiness filled Qingqing and Weiwei’s faces as they occasionally enjoyed the delicious teppanyaki shrimp and then took another bite of teppanyaki squid, eating until their mouths were greasy.
So full of happiness...
"Daddy, you eat too!"
Qingqing suddenly thought and turned to share with Huang Jun not far away.
She tiptoed as hard as she could, her small hands trying hard to pass the squid skewer to Huang Jun’s mouth.
But alas, she wasn’t tall enough, making her effort seem a bit in vain...
So helpless!
Huang Jun smiled, bent down, lowered his head, and with a big mouth, "Ah-wu," he took a big bite of the squid.
"Ah!"
Qingqing’s eyes widened like copper bells, shooting out lightning-like astonishment.
"Hehe~"
Weiwei found it amusing and imitated Qingqing, holding out her teppanyaki squid to Huang Jun, "Daddy, you eat too."
"Alright!"
Huang Jun lowered his head again, "Ah-wu," and swallowed most of the squid.
"Hehehe..."
Weiwei laughed so hard she bent over.
...
"Found it, found it!" The young man wearing a cool duckbill cap greedily sniffed the enticing aroma, pointing assuredly: "No mistake, it’s over there! The fragrance of the teppanyaki squid is coming from there."
"Indeed, perseverance pays off, we finally found the source of the teppanyaki seafood aroma." His friend had a face of delight, subconsciously sniffing, but then noticed a different aroma: "Huh? Why do I smell a whiff of steamed seafood here too? Could it be that a master at making scallion oil fish and steamed seafood is also around?"
"There really seems to be a fragrance of steamed seafood..." The young man wearing the cool duckbill cap smelled the fresh scent too, a hint of excitement in his eyes, "Then we have to look carefully, maybe this culinary master at making scallion oil fish is nearby..."
That’s right.
After all sorts of hardships, this group of tourists finally found where Huang Jun was cooking.
Each one was almost moved to tears of happiness.
When they recognized Huang Jun and his companions, many immediately recognized them and froze for a moment.
"Huh? Isn’t that the rich second generation with the luxury RV? Is he the culinary master we’ve been searching for?"
"Sigh, we’re both on a beach vacation, so why are the companions around him so eye-catching?"
"Traveling with an RV, accompanied by beautiful women, enjoying gourmet food... sob, sob, and then look at myself, only a group of rugged guys for company, this is such a stark contrast, oh my, my tears are about to fall!"
"Brother, when your tears are about to fall, just stand on your head, then the tears that were about to fall won’t fall. But ’standing on your head’ seems a bit difficult, let’s just look up, then the tears won’t fall."
"Huh? Are they eating teppanyaki squid and shrimp now, seems like there’s also the aroma of teppanyaki fish? Smelling that fragrance up close, it’s really enticing! I really want to rush over and ask for a skewer to taste. It must be very delicious, right?"
"Huh? Aren’t those Miss Yang, Miss Xie, and Manager Liu over there? How come they’re also here? And look over there... isn’t that Qingqing’s dad?"
"What’s going on? Do you know these people?"
"..."
As the group approached, Huang Jun and the others noticed their arrival too.
But instinctively they thought they were just strolling along the beach, not paying much attention.
But in the next second...
A crisp, childish voice suddenly called out, "Miss Yang, Miss Xie, Qingqing’s daddy, why are you here at Dongshan Beach too?"
This shout made Huang Jun and the others instantly freeze, looking up again...
