Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 79 - 76: What Happened to Your Reserve?
In a corner of the cafeteria, a secluded spot.
Cai Qinyu went to the restroom for a brief freshening up. When she returned, she found that her old partner, Brother Qin, had already started eating the lunch provided by the Dorami Kindergarten cafeteria.
Not only had he started eating, but he had almost cleared his plate.
He was eating like a whirlwind sweeping through the clouds...
His mouth was glistening with oil from the food...
Cai Qinyu looked at Brother Qin’s "starved ghost reborn" eating style with some surprise...
She had to admit, it really was a bit unbecoming of a city TV station cameraman...
Oh, Brother Qin!
No matter how good the food smells and tastes here, shouldn’t you pay a little attention to your eating manners?
Your eating style...
To those who don’t know, they might think our city TV station’s cafeteria doesn’t offer good food...
Seeing this scene, Cai Qinyu couldn’t help but cover her face, sighing inwardly.
Watching Brother Qin continue eating without restraint, she finally couldn’t help but remind him, "Brother Qin, the education bureau leaders are here, could you please pay a bit more attention to your image? Don’t act like you haven’t eaten in eight lifetimes."
"After all, your every move represents the image of our TV station!"
"So, could you please behave a bit more gracefully, a bit more gentlemanly, showing the demeanor that staff from our city TV station should have, and don’t lose the TV station’s face."
Brother Qin: "..."
Oh, Qinyu, you’re implying I’ve damaged the TV station’s image, aren’t you?!
But when you’re saying all this, you’d better first look at the eating manners of those education bureau leaders.
Their eating manners aren’t necessarily any better than mine.
Also, when you’re eating later, please maintain your so-called graceful demeanor, and don’t embarrass our city TV station.
Brother Qin wanted to debate with Cai Qinyu, but with his mouth full of food, he couldn’t speak and could only gesture.
He gestured towards the table where Wan Zhenhong was sitting, not far away.
Cai Qinyu looked in the direction he was pointing...
And was startled by what she saw!
Goodness...
The leaders of the education bureau there were all bowing their heads eating diligently.
Their mouths were stuffed with food, eating like a whirlwind sweeping through the clouds, their mouths shiny with oil.
Compared to Brother Qin’s eating style...
It was just as undistinguished!
This scene left Cai Qinyu dumbfounded.
The usually authoritative education bureau leaders she was familiar with now looked more like a bunch of careless gourmands.
If she didn’t know their identities beforehand, it would be hard to believe they were the same bunch typically exuding authority from the education bureau. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Speaking of which.
How delicious is the food at this Dorami Kindergarten cafeteria, really?
Even Brother Qin ignored his image, gobbling down, not to mention the usually image-conscious education bureau leaders joining the ranks of foodies, disregarding their image...
But remembering the delicious taste of the purple sweet potato egg roll, she suddenly understood their slightly exaggerated actions now.
Brother Qin swallowed a mouthful of food and with a smile said to Cai Qinyu, "Senior Reporter Cai, once you start eating this food, you might eat even more boldly than I do!"
"Don’t worry, as a lady, I will always maintain the necessary restraint wherever and whenever," Cai Qinyu responded with a smile.
Brother Qin: "..."
Alright then~
Hope you follow through on your words later!
At this moment.
Aunt Lin walked over holding a tray and a bowl of soup, placed them in front of Cai Qinyu, smiling as she said, "You’re back. I noticed you weren’t here earlier, so I took the liberty of keeping your meal warm to prevent it from getting cold. Here it is now, eat it while it’s hot!"
"Oh, thank you!"
Looking at the lunch in front of her, Cai Qinyu suddenly felt her appetite increase.
The caramel-colored red-braised pork glistened invitingly; the corn, green bean, and shrimp was vibrantly colorful; the stir-fried cabbage was distinct and fresh green; the white radish pork bone soup was aromatic and filling, the broth rich, the meat tender and nourishing; plus the nicely cooked and tender rice.
Each dish was visually appealing and smelled delicious, making one eager to taste.
Usually, Cai Qinyu was very strict with her diet, firmly avoiding high-calorie foods to maintain her good figure and skin quality.
However, she could never resist the deliciousness of her mother’s red-braised pork.
But ever since she moved away from home for school and work, she found it difficult to enjoy her mother’s homemade red-braised pork whenever she wanted.
The red-braised pork at the TV station cafeteria is decent but somehow fails to satisfy her taste buds fully.
Sometimes, when she’s craving it.
She would visit restaurants outside to indulge, ordering a serving of red-braised pork.
But often those red-braised pork dishes were either too fatty or greasy, or the texture was tough and hard to eat.
Now.
The red-braised pork in front of her looked so enticing, smelling incredibly fragrant, and with everyone else enjoying it so much, the taste must be... quite good?
Thinking this.
She first picked up a piece of red-braised pork and put it in her mouth.
At first bite, a sweet flavor spread in her mouth, followed by a sauce that was perfectly seasoned, offering a wonderful taste experience.
Taking a bite.
The meat was tender and delicious, neither tough nor greasy.
Her eyes suddenly lit up like light bulbs!
This texture and taste could be called the best red-braised pork she has had in recent years.
For many girls, red-braised pork is extremely tempting, but most only eat the lean part and shy away from the fatty part.
The reason is they think the fatty part is too greasy.
Cai Xinya was one such person.
Even for her mother’s homemade favorite red-braised pork, she only eats the lean parts.
On one hand, because the fatty part is too greasy, on the other hand, she worries about putting on weight.
However, only eating the lean parts makes one feel like they miss out on the tender texture of red-braised pork.
This time, surprisingly, the red-braised pork managed to blend the lean and fatty parts into one, making Cai Qinyu unable to resist after just one taste.
Without realizing it, the entire piece of red-braised pork had been eaten.
When she noticed this, she felt a bit surprised...
She actually swallowed the fatty part and didn’t find it greasy at all!
Needless to say, this red-braised pork gave her a completely new taste experience.
So, Cai Qinyu picked up another piece of red-braised pork and continued to enjoy the deliciousness.
Just like the previous piece, not a bit greasy.
She took another bite of rice, its softness and firmness just perfect. While chewing, she could feel the graininess of the rice yet didn’t find it hard to swallow.
The corn, green bean, and shrimp dish was also quite tasty, this dish combined the sweetness of the vegetables with the freshness of the shrimp, perfectly blending the flavors of the two ingredients.
The shredded cabbage was surprisingly appetizing, adding a refreshing taste to the meal.
The white radish pork bone soup was rich and incredibly savory.
Cai Qinyu was hooked, taking bite after bite, completely throwing the word "restraint" out the window...
Oh, oh, oh~
Senior Reporter Cai, where’s the restraint you promised?
Brother Qin looked at Cai Qinyu’s eating manner, satisfied!
Being able to make the ever-picky-about-red-braised-pork Senior Reporter Cai eat so contently was enough to prove how incredibly delicious Dorami Kindergarten’s cafeteria red-braised pork indeed was!
With a meaningful look, he returned Cai Qinyu’s words back to her: "Senior Reporter Cai, the education bureau leaders are here, could you please pay a bit more attention to your image? Don’t act like you haven’t eaten in eight lifetimes."
"After all, your every move represents the image of our TV station!"
"So, could you please behave a bit more gracefully, a bit more restrained, showing the demeanor that staff from our city TV station should have, and don’t lose the TV station’s face."
Cai Qinyu: "..."
Wait, why does this sound so familiar?
Wait a minute!
Aren’t these the exact words I just used to remind Brother Qin?
This Brother Qin...
Not only did he dismiss her advice, but also bore a grudge about it...
Waited for the moment to return the same words to her?
Oh, whatever...
Let it be...
It won’t matter anyway.
Besides, if it ever does, an extra piece of delicious braised pork will make up for it!
Plus, instead of talking, I might as well just eat two more bites!
