Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 62 - 59: To Win a Woman’s Heart, First Win Her Stomach!
In the kitchen.
The rich aroma of fried food quickly filled the air.
Lin Huiyi assisted her mother-in-law, holding long chopsticks and carefully flipping the pumpkin cakes in the oil.
Under the evenly distributed heat, the crispy skin of the pumpkin cakes began to slightly puff outward.
Each puff, though small, transformed the ordinary pumpkin cakes into small, adorable oval-shaped balls, like balloons being inflated.
Lin Guifen glanced at the pumpkin cakes in the pot and smiled as she reminded, "Huiyi, it’s about time, let’s take these pumpkin cakes out and put them on a plate."
"Okay!"
Lin Huiyi responded, and then she scooped out the pumpkin cakes from the oil.
Fresh out of the pot, the pumpkin cakes were still steaming, perfectly cooked to the right degree, with their surfaces fully puffed and displaying a tempting golden hue, without any burnt brown spots. They lay quietly on a white porcelain plate, looking exquisite and emitting waves of fragrance.
But compared to the molten pumpkin cakes from Dorami Kindergarten...
Their appearance was almost identical, but as for the aroma, they fell somewhat short.
Thus.
Lin Huiyi’s sense of anticipation diminished considerably.
Yet after all, this was specially made by her mother-in-law for her, she couldn’t let her mother-in-law’s efforts go to waste!
She quickly adjusted her mood and praised with a smile, "Mom, your skills are still so excellent, truly a seasoned craft!"
These words struck right at Lin Guifen’s heart, causing her lips to lift in a reassuring smile.
Though filled with joy, she maintained a humble attitude and said, "Not at all, it’s just experience from doing it for a long time."
"Huiyi, quickly, taste it and see how it is! If you find the texture not quite right, I’ll adjust it for you..."
"Mom, how could the food you make not be delicious?"
Lin Huiyi picked up a pumpkin cake, smiling, handed it to Lin Guifen, and only after she received it, did she take another one and started tasting.
Of course, the taste of the pumpkin cakes was not bad!
A bite down, the crispy outer shell of the pumpkin cake accompanied by a slight cracking sound, then deflated, deflated yet still crisp and hard, while inside was soft and glutinous.
However, the filling was overly sweet, and the cake’s sweetness was also somewhat excessive.
After a few bites, this sweetness might even start to feel a bit cloying.
Overall, not perfect, and compared to the molten pumpkin cakes made at Dorami Kindergarten, it was far inferior.
Actually, today at the kindergarten entrance, many parents found themselves tempted by the aroma of the molten pumpkin cakes made at the institution, not just her alone.
But it was hard to say whether she was lucky today or not?
If she said unlucky...
Other parents only smelled the aroma at the kindergarten entrance, but she was lucky to taste this delicious treat.
If she said lucky...
After tasting the molten pumpkin cakes from Dorami Kindergarten, she probably wouldn’t want to eat the pumpkin cakes made by her mother-in-law for a long time, or even the ones she buys outside.
After all, her mother-in-law’s pumpkin cake making skills already surpassed many of the shops selling pumpkin cakes outside...
And her little thoughts went unnoticed by Lin Guifen, who asked with a smile, "Huiyi, how does it taste? Does it suit your palate?"
Seeing her mother-in-law’s look full of anticipation, Lin Huiyi didn’t want to disappoint her mother-in-law’s intentions nor to let her mother-in-law keep busy.
So, she reluctantly nodded and praised, "Delicious, really delicious!"
Upon hearing these words, Lin Guifen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with joy, "Good to hear, good to hear!"
"Since you like it, I’ll make some more, you take some home later and enjoy them slowly..."
Lin Huiyi: ╭(╯^╰)╮
To say.
Can she take back her previous words?
Looking at her mother-in-law’s happy face, she couldn’t utter them again...
Sigh~
The pumpkin cakes she requested, she would finish them even if shedding tears.
...
Dorami Kindergarten.
The lunch prepared by Huang Jun once again won the favor of the teachers and students.
They all enthusiastically embraced the clean plate campaign, eating up all their meals without leaving any leftovers, not even a crumb remaining in the kitchen, as if it too participated in the campaign.
Huang Jun observed with a heart full of joy and satisfaction, seeing his meticulously prepared meals being devoured by the children and colleagues in the kindergarten.
It filled him with a sense of accomplishment.
Aunt Li and Aunt Lin also benefitted.
They didn’t even have to deal with any leftovers; their workload had decreased considerably these past days, hoping this situation could continue.
However, realizing his thoughts might be too much to ask, given Chef Huang’s skills, it’s hard to have any leftovers!
Huang Jun, who had some free time, saw their busy figures and asked with a smile, "Aunt Li, Aunt Lin, do you need any help?"
Upon hearing Huang Jun’s inquiry, Aunt Li waved her hand repeatedly, saying, "No, no, we can manage on our own."
"Chef Huang, you go take a rest, leave it to us here, don’t worry..." Aunt Lin also waved her hand. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
They were unwilling to let Huang Jun do these odd jobs.
After all, Huang Jun’s hands were kissed by God!
Letting such hands do odd jobs would be a waste of talent!
Seeing this, Huang Jun didn’t insist and decided not to go rest immediately but walked to the kitchen door.
Indeed.
He wanted to see if the little figures of his two little treasures had appeared on the playground.
At this time, teachers from various classes were leading their little ones to the playground for the post-dinner walk activity, just like the day before.
The children in the middle and elder classes were behaving well, especially the elder class, which was the most outstanding. They were lined up in two tidy lines, following the teacher’s steps, proceeding steadily and maintaining a straight walking posture.
As for the younger class...
Huang Jun’s gaze skimmed over the children of the middle and elder classes and fell upon the younger class kids.
Hmm...
This group of little ones was too lively and active, not willing to be restrained, and just wanted to walk wherever they pleased, causing the teachers to be on high alert to prevent any little ones from sneaking away.
Seeing this.
Huang Jun did not step forward but nodded to his two precious daughters from afar, indicating that he saw them and signaling them to listen to the teacher and not wander off.
The two little ones seemed to understand and obediently smiled and nodded back.
Seeing them behaving well and continuing to follow the teacher, Huang Jun felt relieved and was about to turn back to the kitchen when he saw a little girl with a ponytail running out of the line towards the slide...
Quick-minded, Huang Jun promptly reached out and caught her.
This little rascal was not afraid of being caught by Huang Jun and giggled at him.
Huang Jun couldn’t help but bend down and gently ask her, "Little one, what’s your name?"
"Daddy Qingqing, my name is Yuanyuan!"
Yuanyuan replied in a cute, childish voice.
At this moment, Xie Jianing had already caught up, her tone slightly helpless, "Yuanyuan, without the teacher’s permission, you can’t run around, okay?"
Yuanyuan turned to smile at Xie Jianing, her face innocent and playful.
"Daddy Qingqing, thanks a lot; if it weren’t for your help, I couldn’t have caught this little rascal."
Xie Jianing smiled helplessly and thanked Huang Jun, stepping forward to hold Yuanyuan’s little hand, "Yuanyuan, come, let’s go back to Miss Xie!"
However, the mischievous little Yuanyuan refused to go back with her, "I don’t want to go back; I want to play on the slide!"
"You little rascal..."
Xie Jianing felt quite helpless.
Huang Jun smiled at Yuanyuan and softly asked, "Yuanyuan, how about Uncle Huang takes you back?"
Yuanyuan blinked her eyes and nodded, "Okay!"
Saying this, she actively extended her little hand to hold Huang Jun’s big hand.
Xie Jianing: "..."
Turns out this teacher here has less charm than Huang Jun, the chef...
Ah!
The old saying is right!
If you want to win a woman’s heart, first conquer her stomach!
Who let Huang Jun conquer her stomach and thereby win her heart!
When Huang Jun led Yuanyuan to where Class (4) was, the two little ones Qingqing and Weiwei immediately came over, puffing their cheeks and shouting, "Daddy~"
"Hey!"
Huang Jun walked over, reaching out to bring them close.
Qingqing and Weiwei immediately reached out to hug their daddy, as if afraid someone else might take him away, they said in unison, "Daddy, from now on, you can’t hold other kids’ hands, only Qingqing (Weiwei)’s hands...
"Okay, daddy knows!"
Huang Jun knew the little ones were jealous of Yuanyuan and comforted them with a smile.
Seeing their daddy agree, Qingqing’s smile curved her eyes as she happily said, "Daddy, Qingqing missed you!"
Weiwei immediately expressed as well, "Daddy, Weiwei missed you too!"
The sudden display of affection made Huang Jun’s eyes squint with joy.
My treasures, daddy missed you too!
Missed you a lot!
