Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, bringing a hint of fresh air that spread across the entrance of Dolaimi Kindergarten.

At this moment, the door of the kindergarten slowly opened...

As usual, Yang Yuxi and other teachers stood at the gate of the kindergarten on time, welcoming every child who came to school with a warm smile.

"Good morning, kids!"

Whenever a parent came over with their children, the teachers would wave and greet them with a smile.

"Hello, teacher~"

The children also responded by politely waving their hands. The clear and melodious sounds were like the singing of birds in the morning light, full of vitality.

After entrusting their children to teachers, parents will inevitably communicate with the teachers about their children's situation at home.

Chatting and chatting.

The topic naturally turned to the cooking video released by the kindergarten yesterday.

“I know Chef Huang is a good cook, but I didn’t expect his knife skills are so excellent too. Most importantly, he is still so young. His cooking skills are better than many hotel chefs…” Mai Linjie and other parents gathered together, amazed.

When the school just started, they heard their own children say that the food in the kindergarten was delicious, and they secretly thought that the kindergarten must have hired a senior chef from some hotel that semester.

This kind of cognition is like when you go to see a doctor, everyone subconsciously thinks that older doctors are more reliable; just like when you go to school to register your children, everyone subconsciously thinks that older teachers are more trustworthy.

therefore.

When parents like Mai Linjie discovered that the food in the kindergarten had become so good at the beginning of the school year, they naturally had an image of the kindergarten's new chef in their minds - an experienced, older male chef with a tall hat and skilled cooking.

However, as time went on, parents gradually learned the truth.

It turned out that the chef who won the children's praise was not the elderly man as they imagined, but a young and promising chef with superb skills.

This also subverts their stereotype of chefs!
Cai Jingxian nodded in agreement: "Yes, Chef Huang is indeed quite young, less than 30 years old, but his cooking skills are really great!"

She never gets tired of the food Huang Jun cooks, and even when she can't eat it she still misses it and is ravenous.

I think Huang Jun’s cooking skills are more than just good, they are simply amazing!
Moreover, recently, every time she brought food from the garden home at night, her family would scramble to eat it, leaving her with no food to eat. As a result, she now finishes her food in the garden before going home to avoid having it all divided up.

"You can see that our cutting is really cutting vegetables, while Huang Jun's cutting is really knife skills. The speed is very fast, but the vegetables are cut neatly, just like they were measured with a ruler. The meat is chopped faster than a machine..."

Mai Linjie's tone was full of admiration for Huang Jun's superb skills, and her eyes also revealed her deep impression of those videos.

"Moreover, Chef Huang's technique of adding seasonings seems to be under control without him having to think about it. Whether it is a home-cooked stir-fry or a complex dish, he can handle it easily, giving people a sense of calmness and ease..." other parents also added.

After hearing what they said, Cai Jingxian, who also watched the video, nodded in agreement again: "Chef Huang's knife skills and cooking techniques are indeed admirable."

Mai Linjie couldn't help but bring up the old topic again: "Teacher Cai, has Chef Huang considered opening a cooking class? I feel that following his videos is much better than tinkering on my own, but I still can't cook like him. My kids even said that my cooking isn't as delicious as Chef Huang's!"

"this…"

Cai Jingxian was stumped by her question. In fact, many parents had asked this question before, and she had patiently responded and declined. Unexpectedly, the parents' enthusiasm remained unabated.

She had no choice but to continue to respond helplessly: "Chef Huang's main focus is on the children in our kindergarten. In addition, he has two children to take care of at home. I guess he really doesn't have extra time to organize a cooking class. However, the content of the video shot in our kindergarten is already very detailed. If you practice more according to the video, I believe you will be able to master a lot of skills..."

Not only the teachers of Class 2, but parents of other classes were also talking to their own teachers about Huang Jun’s cooking videos.

What delicious food!
It can always easily narrow the distance between people!

When talking about this topic, everyone's enthusiasm is always very high and it is easy to expand the topic.

So much so that when the teachers wanted to end the chat, they almost couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

Fortunately, the parents finally talked about other things and changed the topic to ask about the upcoming autumn outing.

Hanghang's mother missed the registration for the relay game last night, which made her toss and turn all night and unable to sleep.

Now, she couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Teacher Yang, can we increase the number of parents who can accompany us on the autumn outing? I think five places are too few. It will be safer for children to go out with more people to take care of them. Can we increase the number of places? If possible, I will sign up now!"

"Yes, Teacher Yang." Miaomiao's mother also agreed, "The autumn outing is a big day for children. As parents, we also want to participate more and leave more beautiful memories for the children."

"Yes, yes, our children are really looking forward to the autumn outing, and we also want to be a part of their beautiful memories. Besides, I am good at taking pictures, so I can help you take pictures."

"That's right, Teacher Yang. Our family is also free and can help. We are also willing to contribute to the safety and happiness of the children. Please give us this opportunity."

"..."

Regardless of whether they are busy at work or at home, these parents put participating in their children's growth activities first, and their attitude is firm - "It doesn't matter whether you go to work or not, participating in the autumn outing is the most important thing." Faced with such high enthusiasm from parents, Yang Yuxi and other teachers did not show much joy, but felt a little headache.

In the past, whether it was a spring outing or an autumn outing, when they asked the director of the Parent-Teacher Association to organize a chain registration in the kindergarten, there were always very few parents who responded.

At that time, teachers often had to work hard to mobilize parents to participate, hoping that more parents would accompany their children on outings and enjoy parent-child time.

But many parents often "have the good intentions but lack the ability"!
Although they long to spend time with their children, the busy work schedule and daily chores make it difficult for them to find time to participate.

The situation this year is quite different. All parents are eager to try and sign up actively.

The reason!

Yang Yuxi and other teachers also understand that behind this is the parents' greater emphasis on their children's education and growth, as well as their high recognition and support for the kindergarten's work.

NO! NO! NO!

No, no!
This is just one of the reasons. The main reason is that I am jealous of Huang Jun’s craftsmanship…

If Huang Jun didn't participate and didn't cook delicious food, would they still be so actively involved and even ignore their work?
Certainly not!

Yang Yuxi, like the other teachers, smiled helplessly and replied, "Thank you so much for your support. We are so happy to have parents like you. However, the quota of five parents is already the maximum, and adding more people will not work. Besides, the main purpose of the autumn outing is to let the children go out for a walk, see the flowers and plants, play with their friends, and learn teamwork. If too many parents go, the children may only be busy looking for their parents and have no time to experience nature. Moreover, our cars and activities are arranged according to this number of people, and adding more people will be a mess."

She paused, and continued patiently: "I understand everyone's heart. Everyone wants to see every moment of their baby's growth. But we have to let the children have their own space and learn to be independent. There are activities like spring outings and autumn outings every semester, and there will be many opportunities next time..."

Hey!
There’s no hope again!

The parents inevitably felt a little disappointed. Although this result was within their expectations, they still felt a little uncomfortable when they got a positive answer.

Some parents had been thinking about paying some extra fees or going along in their own car. After all, it would be exciting to eat the food cooked by Huang Jun and witness their children's autumn outing.

But after hearing what Yang Yuxi said, the parents understood that saying more was useless and would not be able to shake the arrangements of the kindergarten at all.

Although I am reluctant, but it has come to this...

"That's all I can do. I'll try again next time."

The parents comforted each other, put their thoughts aside for the time being, and looked forward to the next opportunity.

Afterwards, they said goodbye to their teachers and started the “each going home, each looking for their own mother” mode with expectations for the future…

Yang Yuxi and other teachers watched the parents leave with smiles on their faces, and continued to welcome the latecomers.

Just at this moment...

Huang Jun held Qingqing and Weiwei's hands and came to the gate of the garden in the morning light. He greeted Yang Yuxi warmly, "Good morning, Teacher Yang!"

"Hey, Qingqing, Weiwei, good morning!"

Yang Yuxi smiled and waved to them, then couldn't help but share with Huang Jun: "Qingqing Dad, you don't know, the parents in our class are really too outrageous. Not only did they chase me to discuss the cooking videos released in the kindergarten, they also caught me and asked how to make the braised lion head and tofu fish soup as tempting as in the videos. My God, although I am a teacher, I am not a cooking teacher. I can only teach children knowledge, not cooking skills..."

Who made her a novice in cooking?

Only know how to eat but not how to cook!
When I was asked questions by my parents and I didn't know anything about them, I felt so embarrassed that I wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Huang Jun couldn't help laughing when he thought of Yang Yuxi's embarrassment at the time, and comforted her: "It seems that your parents have high expectations of you and regard you as a versatile and all-round teacher."

Yang Yuxi pouted and said, "All-rounder? At most, I am the type who can eat but not cook. Next time parents ask me this, I will tell them that if they want to learn how to cook, they should go directly to you, the chef, for advice."

At this time, Cai Jingxian came over with a smile and said to Huang Jun, "Chef Huang, the parents in our class all praised your cooking skills and knife skills, and asked if you would consider opening a cooking class?"

Huang Jun: "..."

Isn't this old news?
Why haven't you turned the page yet?
"Hasn't this been said before? Not considering it!" Huang Jun replied speechlessly.

Putting aside whether Liang Yinqiu would give him the green light to take a part-time job like a cooking class, he felt something was wrong just thinking about the fact that the students he was teaching were parents.

After all, it would be bad if it caused any dispute and affected his current work.

Moreover, the recorded videos have been as detailed as possible with clear steps. Parents should be able to grasp the key points by following the videos step by step, and there is no need to sign up for classes with him at all.

Cai Jingxian responded with a smile: "That's how I responded to parents as well."

"Okay!" Huang Jun nodded, and then said goodbye: "Then we will go in first, you guys get busy..." (End of this chapter)
