Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

Chapter 343 unexpectedly boosted local economic consumption...

"Chef Huang, we have already sent you the osmanthus flowers you requested..."

Xie Jianing and several other teachers arrived at the kitchen door together. They gently put down baskets of golden osmanthus flowers, then shook their hands which were a little sore from carrying them for a long time, their faces filled with expectant smiles.

"Wow, this is really fast..."

Hearing the voice coming from outside, Huang Jun quickly stopped what he was doing, turned around and shouted to the operation room deep in the kitchen: "Assistant Qian, Aunt Li, Aunt Lin, the osmanthus flowers are here, come to the door and help!"

“Come on, come on~”

Qian Guoxiang's voice echoed loudly in the kitchen, followed by the brisk footsteps of Aunt Li and Aunt Lin.

They walked out of the operating room one after another and gathered around Huang Jun.

then…

Led by Huang Jun, the group headed towards the kitchen door.

In an instant…

A rich sweet osmanthus fragrance wafted towards them, as if wrapping them in a sea of ​​osmanthus.

When they came to the kitchen door...

The golden osmanthus baskets all over the ground seemed like a dazzling golden light, almost blinding their 24K titanium eyes...

This...this osmanthus, are we picking too many? !

I can’t tell…

The fighting power of these teachers and children is quite fierce...

Huang Jun and others' eyes widened instantly, showing a hint of surprise.

Qian Guoxiang's eyes swept across the neatly arranged rows of basketball baskets, and he couldn't help but start counting: "One, two, three, four, five, six... Oh my God, there are exactly six basketball baskets..."

Huang Jun couldn't help but feel a little confused. He glanced at Xie Jianing and the other teachers and asked curiously, "Teacher Xie, how did you pick so many osmanthus flowers? Did you pick all the osmanthus flowers in the garden?"

"Hee hee~"

"Haha~"

Faced with Huang Jun's teasing, Xie Jianing and others looked at each other, not knowing how to answer his question for a moment. They just smiled awkwardly but politely at him foolishly.

When Huang Jun saw this smile, he suddenly felt that the situation was not good.

He subconsciously looked up at the osmanthus tree...

The branches that were once covered with golden flowers have now become empty, with only the emerald green leaves swaying gently in the breeze, as if expressing some silent sorrow...

Huang Jun: "..."

I'll go~
This is simply the rhythm of being plucked bald!

If you don’t know, you might think the osmanthus flowers in the garden haven’t bloomed yet this year…

Also, didn’t we agree to keep some for ourselves?

Now there is not even a single osmanthus flower to be seen. How can he explain this to Director Liang?
Huang Jun was somewhat speechless and said, "Why did you pick all the osmanthus flowers in the school?"

"We originally took the children to pick osmanthus flowers. We were doing well, but unexpectedly some park leaders who passed by heard that we were picking osmanthus flowers to make delicious food for you, so they all joined in to help. As a result, I don't know how, everyone picked osmanthus flowers from every tree." Xie Jianing explained apologetically.

Wei Siyi also echoed: "Yes, by the time we recovered from the shock, all the osmanthus flowers had been plucked out, even those on the ground had been picked up, not a single flower was left!"

Zheng Yujia took over the conversation and said helplessly: "Yes, yes, the leaders of the garden are too active. As soon as they heard that you were making food, they came to help pick the fruits. We couldn't stop them at all..."

Things have come to this, and that's all.

Huang Jun showed a bitter smile on his face: "This is really a 'big harvest'. I don't know whether I should be happy or have a headache. There are so many osmanthus flowers. I have to think about how to make the best use of them."

"Chef Huang, don't worry, we have confidence in your cooking skills. We believe that you can use these osmanthus flowers to make more delicious food." Xie Jia smiled.

Zheng Yujia nodded: "Yes, if we can't use it up today, we can continue tomorrow! The fragrance of osmanthus can last for a while."

"It won't be fresh overnight!" Huang Jun thought for a moment and decided, "I'll get some osmanthus honey later! This will preserve its fragrance and extend its shelf life."

Hearing the words "Osmanthus honey", Xie Jianing's eyes sparkled, and she said expectantly: "Osmanthus honey... I have always liked to eat osmanthus honey. Qingqing Dad, can you give me some when the time comes?"

Zheng Yujia followed closely behind: "I want one too, Chef Huang!"

Huang Jun responded with a smile: "Don't worry, every teacher in the kindergarten will have a share."

"Yeah, thank you Chef Huang, Chef Huang you're the best!"

Zheng Yujia and others danced with joy.

Huang Jun sighed softly.

Hey!
I can only say that sometimes, people’s joys and sorrows are not the same.

Huang Jun murmured to himself: "Alas, although osmanthus is fragrant and delicious, it is really time-consuming and laborious to clean it..."

After hearing what he said, Xie Jianing and other teachers wanted to help share the burden, but as they had to go back to the classroom to teach the children, they could only shake their heads regretfully.

I can’t help you…

Just at this moment...

A clear voice broke the silence: "Chef Huang, don't worry, we are here to help you!"

Liu Suyu walked towards him gracefully in high heels.

A group of garden leaders followed behind him, saying in unison: "Yes, we are here! Chef Huang, don't worry! We will make sure these osmanthus flowers are clean."

Huang Jun naturally wanted more than anything else to have free labor delivered to his doorstep!
He smiled slightly and thanked: "Thank you!"

"Chef Huang, you're too polite..."

Liu Suyu waved her hand gracefully, and then continued apologetically: "Chef Huang, I'm so sorry. We wanted to do our best, but we ended up making things worse and accidentally plucked out all the osmanthus trees."

Huang Jun responded with a smile: "It's okay, it's not your fault."

Then, Liu Suyu turned to Xie Jianing and other teachers and said softly, "Teachers, don't worry too much. I have already communicated with Director Liang. She understands our original intention very well and will not pursue the matter of the osmanthus tree."

Hearing this, Xie Jianing and the others' tense nerves finally relaxed, and the burden in their hearts was lifted.

After saying a brief goodbye to Huang Jun, they left and walked towards the teaching building.

Liu Suyu stepped forward and offered to help Huang Jun, saying, "Chef Huang, let me help you move in." Huang Jun nodded in thanks and smiled, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. It's my duty." Liu Suyu responded.

While everyone is busy...

"Dingling bell~"

The internal phone in the kitchen suddenly rang.

Aunt Li saw the caller ID and immediately recognized the caller. She quickly answered the phone: "Hello, Mr. Li, what's going on?"

"Aunt Li, is Chef Huang here?" Uncle Li's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Here!" Aunt Li looked up and saw Huang Jun and Liu Suyu busy moving osmanthus flowers, chatting and laughing. She was too embarrassed to disturb them and continued to say to Uncle Li on the other end of the phone, "Old Li, Chef Huang is busy! Why don't you tell me first and I'll pass it on for you!"

Grandpa Li said anxiously on the other end of the phone: "Aunt Li, a group of parents came to the door. They brought some osmanthus and lotus roots, saying that they wanted to give them to Chef Huang to make osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus roots. I was going to persuade them to take them back, but they insisted that I call you to ask Chef Huang for his opinion. What do you think, should we accept these things or refuse them?"

This problem made Aunt Li feel troubled!
She can't make this decision!
"Old Li, don't worry. I'll go ask Chef Huang and get back to you."

Having said that, Aunt Li put the phone on the table, immediately ran to Huang Jun, and told him what Uncle Li had said on the phone.

Huang Jun couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this.

He really didn't expect that these parents were so enthusiastic that they actually sent food over.

But the key is...

He currently has no shortage of ingredients like osmanthus and lotus roots...

I'm still worried about having too many osmanthus flowers!
But then I thought about it...

The parents must have picked those osmanthus flowers specially. If they didn’t collect them, they would probably be wasted…

That would be a pity!

What a waste of the parents’ good intentions!

He thought for a moment and said, "We certainly appreciate the kindness of these parents. However, we already have enough osmanthus flowers and lotus roots, even a little too much. How about this? We take the osmanthus flowers, and I will make more osmanthus honey and give some to these parents. After all, they have also contributed. As for the lotus roots! I think they must have bought them specially, so let them take them home to cook and avoid unnecessary waste."

"Okay, I got it. I'll tell Old Li right away."

Aunt Li nodded.

After returning to the phone, she picked up the phone again and conveyed Huang Jun's meaning to Uncle Li.

After receiving the instructions, Uncle Li hung up the phone.

He walked to the door of the guard room and relayed Huang Jun's original words to the parents waiting there word for word.

After listening to Uncle Li's retelling, the parents immediately understood Huang Jun's real intention of only accepting osmanthus flowers and not lotus roots.

Qu Qing murmured helplessly: "Qingqing's father might be worried that we spent a lot of money on these lotus roots, so he didn't accept them, right?"

Mai Linjie said with an open-minded look: "Forget it, since Chef Huang has made his decision, let's respect his choice."

Xu Sijun looked at the large bags of lotus roots on the ground and felt a little worried: "But, there are so many lotus roots that we can't eat them all when we take them home."

Ni Shujing suggested: "How about we just send the lotus roots and osmanthus flowers in together. If Qingqing's father doesn't want them, we can just put them out. In this way, Qingqing's father will have to take them even if he doesn't want to. Maybe he can make more osmanthus dishes, and then we can get more."

"This is a good idea!" Qu Qing immediately raised both hands in agreement.

Other parents also expressed no objection.

So, Qu Qing smiled and turned to Uncle Li: "Uncle Li, please open the door. We will help bring the osmanthus and lotus roots in. This way, Chef Huang and his team won't have to make a special trip and their work won't be delayed."

Uncle Li thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, then you can send it in. But remember, you have to come out after sending it, and don't cause me any trouble. Otherwise, I won't be so easy to talk to next time."

"Don't worry, Uncle Li." Qu Qing promised solemnly.

"go in!"

Uncle Li opened the door and let Qu Qing and other parents in one by one.

Qu Qing and others each carried a big bag and walked into the kitchen in a mighty manner.

When Huang Jun saw these big and small bags of osmanthus and lotus roots, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

The osmanthus flowers and lotus roots sent by parents piled up like a mountain, far exceeding his expectations...

Saying.

Have you contracted all the nearby osmanthus trees and lotus roots in the vegetable market?

Don't tell me yet.

Huang Jun guessed right!
Not only did the parents pick all the osmanthus flowers along the road, but even the osmanthus flowers in their own neighborhood were not spared.

They were all plucked bald by them.

This large-scale "Osmanthus harvesting" action made the security guards in the community helplessly call for expulsion, but it was too late. They could only watch them run away with the osmanthus flowers...

As for lotus root!
They didn't let go either!

Almost all the lotus roots in the nearby vegetable market were contracted by them. The sudden large number of orders made the uncles selling lotus roots overjoyed. They smiled from ear to ear, counted the money until their hands were tired, and wanted to sing "Good Days" to express their joy.

Huang Jun really never expected that his unintentional sigh would actually set off a "osmanthus storm" and "lotus root purchase".

Not only did it pluck out all the osmanthus flowers nearby, it also unexpectedly boosted local economic consumption…

This is simply outrageous. Opening the door to outrageousness - so outrageous!

It seems that I still need to be careful in what I say and do in the future...

Prevent these crazy parents from doing anything outrageous again!
He tried to ask the parents to take the extra lotus roots back, but the parents refused and just left.

In this case, I can only accept it and give the kids a snack at noon...

……

The entrance to the kindergarten.

After Uncle Li sent away Qu Qing and other parents, he was about to close the gate of the kindergarten. Suddenly, when he looked up, he noticed a beautiful girl standing not far away.

She was holding a tripod and a mobile phone, as if she was taking pictures of something seriously.
