Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

Chapter 361 How can we satisfy them?

Just before 4pm...

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and slants onto the gate of Dolaimi Kindergarten, casting a layer of golden glow on this small world.

Although it is still some time before the children finish school, parents have already appeared around the campus one after another. Their figures are stretched out in the setting sun, as if expressing their anticipation and joy for their children's imminent return.

NO! NO! NO!

That’s not the case!
The parents' arrival early today was not entirely because of their children.

It was because the news that "Huang Jun will distribute osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root to parents at the gate of the garden after school in the afternoon" spread quietly among parents like wings, attracting countless parents to pay attention to it. They could not sit still and came early to wait.

at this time.

The parents gathered in groups of three or four, talking to each other with expectant smiles on their faces.

Among these small groups, Pengpeng's mother was surrounded by a group of curious parents and became the focus.

The parents' eyes were full of curiosity and expectation, and they asked one after another: "Pengpeng's mother, is what you said true? This afternoon, will Qingqing's father really give each of us a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root that he made by hand to try?
Qu Qing nodded confidently: "Of course it's true. This morning at the gate of the garden, Qingqing's father told us parents in person, and many parents heard it. In addition, I picked a lot of osmanthus flowers with several parents, bought a lot of lotus roots and sent them to the garden, especially for Qingqing's father to make osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus roots."

Li Xiuxian took over the conversation and said with a smile: "That's right, we have almost picked all the osmanthus flowers on the nearby roads and in our community!"

Liu Jinyan also joined the discussion: "As I was walking along, I was wondering why the osmanthus flowers that were clearly in full bloom this morning seem to be much less now. It turns out that you picked them and made them into delicacies!"

Hanghang's father smiled and said, "Haha, that's good. I took a special leave this afternoon. If I can't eat this sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, then my leave would be in vain, and my salary would be deducted in vain."

Zheng Yuanzhou continued, "Yes, me too. I couldn't sit still after hearing the news, so I sneaked out. If I don't get to eat this delicious sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, and my boss finds out that I sneaked out during work, I'll be really unlucky. But now that I've got a positive answer, I'm willing to wait here even if I get criticized."

Wen Xueqian sighed: "When I first heard the news, I couldn't believe it. It felt like a dream. But after hearing what you said, I completely believed it. Now I can wait with peace of mind to taste Qingqing's father's cooking skills."

Ni Shujing thought about it and said with a little regret: "Each parent can only get one piece of osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root. Isn't this a bit too little?"

Miaomiao's mother responded with understanding: "It's a little bit, but think about it, it's not easy for Qingqing's father to make so much by himself, we are lucky to be able to eat it."

"You're right." Liu Jinyan nodded in agreement and said with anticipation, "Just standing at the garden gate, I can already smell the sweet aroma. It will surely taste great when I eat it later!"

"Listen carefully." Qu Qing looked towards the teaching building, her eyes lit up as she said, "Inside the teaching building, there are faint sounds of children laughing and talking happily. They must have tasted the delicious sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root. Their happiness is so real, so the sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root must taste great too!"

"Yeah, I really want to eat it now..."

Parents stood at the gate of the kindergarten and breathed deeply involuntarily, trying to inhale every scent of osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root in the air into their lungs.

over time…

As the time for school to end gets closer, everyone's anticipation and anxiety become stronger.

Sudden.

A careful parent pointed to the garden and shouted excitedly: "Look everyone, Chef Huang is here..."

The voice just fell.

Everyone's eyes turned to the direction of her finger...

Huang Jun and other kitchen staff were seen slowly approaching the school gate with a fully loaded food cart.

Neatly arranged on the dining car were plates of fragrant osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root.

Seeing this, Zheng Yuanzhou and other male parents had a gleam in their eyes, and they all stepped forward and said, "Chef Huang, let us help!"

Huang Jun smiled and declined, "No, no, we can do it ourselves. Parents, please line up in an orderly manner at the entrance of the garden, and we will distribute it to everyone in order."

Liu Suyu also added: "Please be sure to line up first, and then come to me to sign and register. After signing, parents can go to Huang's kitchen to receive a copy of osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root. If your partner is unable to come for some reason, you can sign on their behalf and receive a copy."

As soon as these words came out...

Those parents who had originally planned to get one copy first and then quietly line up at the end of the line to get another copy suddenly felt a sense of loss.

That's right!

They originally planned to take advantage of the queue loophole and enjoy the sweetness of the food a little longer.

I fantasized that if I moved quickly, I could get an extra portion of osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root without attracting any attention.

But I never thought...

The higher the virtue, the higher the evil...

The park had foreseen this and taken measures to require signature registration.

This time.

Their wishful thinking will be thwarted and they will no longer be able to fish in troubled waters and gain more advantages.

Although we were a little disappointed, we could only understand and comply with the park's arrangements.

What if I don’t understand or obey?

If you are not careful, you might even be disqualified, and then you will regret it!

So...

The parents followed Liu Suyu's instructions and lined up in an orderly manner at the entrance of the kindergarten.

Huang Jun and his kitchen team took the osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root from the dining car and placed them one by one on the folding table next to them.

Parents can't wait to stretch their necks to see its "beauty"...

Slices of osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root were neatly placed on a white porcelain plate. Each slice of lotus root was cut evenly and the edges were neat and uniform, revealing a sense of ingenuity and refinement. The light pink of the lotus root and the off-white of the glutinous rice set off each other, which was very beautiful.

The plump glutinous rice grains are crystal clear, embedded in the lotus roots like pearls, sparkling with an attractive luster.

A layer of golden sugar osmanthus juice is poured on the lotus root slices. It flows between the lotus root slices, adding sweetness and luster to the whole dish, making the osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root look more tempting.

The sugar osmanthus juice creates subtle changes in light and shadow on the lotus root slices, making the whole dish more three-dimensional and full of layers.

A few osmanthus flowers are dotted among them, adding a natural autumn feeling and a light floral fragrance to this osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root dish.

Let people smell its fragrance before tasting it.

Just then.

The school bell rang...

As usual, parents would eagerly flock to the area where their children's classes were located to wait and greet their children.

But today the situation is completely different.

The parents didn't move at all. They just looked in the direction of the teaching building and then continued to wait in line.
Ok.

In the line, some parents didn't even raise their heads, staring at the people in front of them waiting for their turn.

Anyway, the children are being looked after by the teachers, so it won't be a problem even if I go to pick them up a little later. Instead of wasting time, I might as well smell the fragrance of osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root.

It's also good to smell the fragrance...

Those parents who had signed for registration with Liu Suyu could no longer contain their excitement and ran to the table impatiently.

They picked up the toothpicks prepared on the table and carefully picked up their own portion of delicious food.

The red lotus root is cut into even slices and drizzled with sweet osmanthus juice, exuding an enticing sweet fragrance.

The lotus root has been stewed until it is soft and tasty, and the glutinous rice inside is sticky and has perfectly absorbed the sweetness of the sugar osmanthus juice. When you chew it in your mouth, you can feel the rich osmanthus fragrance spreading in your mouth.

In order to savor this delicious meal, the male parents ate it carefully, taking small bites, for fear that if they opened their mouths a little too wide, it would be gone in one bite.

Female parents are also very fond of this dish of osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root.

The soft and sweet fragrance in their mouths makes them unable to stop. How can one piece of food satisfy them?
The glutinous rice has moderate viscosity, and the osmanthus honey is sweet but not greasy. The combination of the two produces a wonderful chewy taste in the mouth.

This unique food texture makes them feel surprised every moment of tasting.

At the same time, I can't help but wonder how the fragrance of osmanthus is so perfectly sealed in the lotus root and glutinous rice.

When a piece of glutinous rice lotus root with osmanthus is eaten, the rich aroma begins to spread from the tip of the tongue, until it fills the entire mouth and then goes straight to the nose, as if the whole person is bathed in the fragrance of osmanthus.

This aroma cannot be fully appreciated just by smelling it. Only when you actually put it in your mouth will you feel the illusion of osmanthus fragrance emanating from your body from the inside out.

After everyone finished eating, they all exuded a faint sweet fragrance of osmanthus. Just smelling it made people intoxicated. Taking a deep breath, their internal organs seemed to be permeated by this fragrance...

Qu Qing finished eating, but she was still not satisfied. Her eyes involuntarily fell on the remaining half piece of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root in Lin Weilin's hand. With a gleam of desire in her eyes, she called out coquettishly, "Husband..."

Lin Weilin: "..."

Uh…

Something terrible is happening...

This is the rhythm of coveting his half piece of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root...

Lin Weilin stuffed the rest into his mouth, then looked at Qu Qing with a smile and asked knowingly, "Wife, what's the matter?"

Qu Qing: "..."

Should I arrange a washboard tonight? Or a keyboard? Or a durian?

Passersby who saw Dolami Kindergarten distributing free osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root to parents couldn't help but show envy in their eyes.

As they watched their parents eating with gusto, they couldn't help but feel a little greedy themselves, and thought to themselves that they would try to make some when they get home, just to satisfy their cravings.

After finishing the meal, the other parents were still not satisfied and expressed their feelings and requests to Huang Jun:

"How can one piece of this sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root satisfy my appetite? I just whetted my appetite and it's gone. It's so sad!"

"I am a grown man and I don't like those sweet and greasy foods. But this time, I couldn't stop eating the osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root after just one bite. I didn't expect that I had eaten it all in the blink of an eye. It was gone. It made me feel helpless..."

"Ten thousand people have signed a petition in blood asking Chef Huang to make some more osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root. It's so delicious! I'm willing to buy it no matter how much it costs, just to be able to eat it again!"

"Yes, it's only one slice, it's really not enough! I beg Chef Huang to make some more!"

"..."

Huang Jun: "..."

He smiled and said, "Next year, maybe next year..."

Parents:"……"

This cake is really drunk...

Liu Suyu: "..."

As expected of the first person to make promises for the Doraimi Kindergarten, now he doesn’t make promises for the teachers in the kindergarten, but for the parents instead…
