Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

As soon as the old men got the green spinach steamed cake, they couldn't wait to eat it in big mouthfuls, with happy smiles on their faces.

Qingqing was conscientiously helping the teacher and classmates to clean up the stall. Occasionally, she looked up and used her clear big eyes to look at the old men who were eating happily, and reminded them in a baby voice: "Grandpa, don't eat too fast, be careful not to choke. My father always told me that eating slowly is good for the stomach~"

Weiwei also smiled playfully and said in a soft voice: "Yes, Grandpa, you have to chew it slowly and swallow it one bite at a time. You can't swallow it in one big gulp. It's not good for your stomach~"

Hearing these words, my heart is melted!
Upon hearing this, the old men stopped chewing eagerly and turned to look at the two cute little guys, their eyes full of love and smiles: "Haha, good children, the grandpas are in good health and naturally have good appetites. But we will remember your words and pay attention next time."

"Speaking of which, this spinach steamed cake your dad taught you to make is so delicious. It tastes so good that you can't stop eating it!!"

"The steamed cakes I ate before were far inferior to yours, especially the steamed cakes made by the old woman in my family. They were so delicious that even dogs wouldn't eat them. Today, I tasted such delicious spinach steamed cakes for the first time. It was a real surprise!"

As they talked, they continued to enjoy the delicious steamed cake, until everyone had swallowed the last bite contentedly. Then they said goodbye reluctantly and slowly walked towards home with satisfied smiles.

It’s not that they don’t want to stay, but they are keenly aware of the subtle changes in the air around them—more and more parents and children are gathering around, their eyes full of desire for the unfinished taste of spinach steamed cake, and some children even have crystal saliva on their mouths unconsciously...

It is obvious that I am craving for the spinach steamed cakes in their hands!

therefore.

They were worried that if they stayed any longer, the remaining spinach steamed cakes in their hands would be lost, so they decided to run away!
……

In a corner of a community guard room near Dolaimi Kindergarten, the street lights suddenly lit up, covering this small world with a soft night veil.

A group of old men sat around a quaint stone table, a silent contest of wits taking place on the chessboard, while a harmonious atmosphere permeated the surroundings.

“Follow your feelings, hold on to your dreams, the blue sky is getting closer and gentler, my mood is as free as the wind, and suddenly I find myself in a completely different self…”

A melodious song drifted in with the evening breeze, accompanied by brisk footsteps, getting closer and closer. It not only penetrated the night, but also quietly diverted everyone's attention away from the intense chess game.

The old men all raised their heads at the same time, their eyes focused on their old chess friend, Uncle Yang, who had just stepped into this scene.

Uncle Yang's face was beaming, he was humming a little tune, and he was as happy as if he had married a second wife.

An old man wearing reading glasses asked in confusion, "Hey, Old Man Yang, what's the good day today? Why are you so happy?"

"Yes, you usually come to play chess at this time. Why are you late today? Is there some good place that you don't want to leave? Tell me, where did you go to have fun?" another old man asked curiously.

"Yes, yes, tell me quickly, where have you been? Why are you so happy to come back?" Other old men also asked in unison.

Grandpa Yang smiled from ear to ear and replied, "I just went to the Doraimi Kindergarten to join in the fun. The children were so innocent that I felt a few years younger. I also bought some steamed cakes to try."

As soon as these words came out, the old men who were playing chess burst into laughter and started to tease each other:
"Haha, Old Man Yang, doesn't your wife know how to make steamed cakes? Why did you go out to buy them? Aren't you afraid that she will scold you for wasting money when you get home?"

"Old man Yang, you are a well-known miser. Why are you willing to spend money to buy steamed cakes today? This is not like you!"

"Yes, what kind of delicious steamed cake can make our always frugal Mr. Yang willing to spend money on it? It really makes people curious!"

"The only things that Old Man Yang can afford to buy are clearance sales. Could this steamed cake be on sale?"

"..."

Uncle Yang was so amused that his eyes narrowed into slits. He waved his hands and said happily, "Don't mention the discount. I bought it at full price. Let me tell you, this spinach steamed cake tastes really good. I couldn't help but buy a few more after taking a bite. If my wife knew, she would definitely like it too."

After hearing this, the chess friends all asked in disbelief, "Is it really that delicious?"

Grandpa Yang answered proudly, "Of course! Let me tell you, in the evening, there was a 'fruit and vegetable food charity sale' near the entrance of the Doraimi Kindergarten. I went over to join in the fun and tried their spinach steamed cake. I loved it the first time I tried it, so I bought a few more. I heard that this spinach steamed cake was made by the kindergarten's chef Huang who taught the children how to make it. It tasted really good, better than the steamed cakes in our nearby breakfast shop!"

"I've heard about the cooking skills of Chef Huang from Doraimi Kindergarten." The old man with reading glasses pondered for a moment and murmured, "I heard that his cooking skills are amazing. Whether it's cooking or making snacks, they are all mouth-watering. Every time I pass by the gate of the kindergarten, the aroma hits my nose, and I can't help but think that the taste must be good."

But he still couldn't help but question: "But is the steamed cake he taught the children to make really that delicious? I don't believe it unless you, Old Man Yang, let me taste a piece."

"Right, right, right. I don't believe those kids can make any delicious steamed cakes, unless you let me have a taste." Other chess friends also echoed.

"Hmph, Old Ding, stop dreaming! This spinach steamed cake is something I spent a lot of effort to get. You want a piece of it? No way!"

As Grandpa Yang spoke, he swiftly hid the spinach steamed cake in his hand deep inside his lapel. He did it so quickly, as if he was afraid that they would snatch it away if he wasn't paying attention.

Everyone looked at Grandpa Yang's treasured look and understood in their hearts: this spinach steamed cake must taste good.

Especially those old friends who have been drooling over the delicacies of Doraimi Kindergarten for a long time but have never had the chance to taste them, at this moment, they no longer care about the outcome on the chessboard, and shouted excitedly: "Come on, let's join in the fun and taste the legendary delicacies!"

After that, everyone put down their chess pieces at the same time and ran towards the gate of the community as eagerly as children, aiming directly at the food stall in front of Dolaimi Kindergarten, vowing to buy one to satisfy their cravings.

This group of elderly men, who are over 60 years old, seemed to be ten years younger at this moment. They walked with vigorous steps and rushed all the way, attracting the attention of young people on the road. They unconsciously made way for them, for fear of disturbing these energetic "old naughty boys".

Ok.

Mainly afraid of being blackmailed!
Grandpa Yang looked at their receding backs and quickly raised his voice, calling out anxiously: "Hey, hey, hey! Don't worry, everything over there is probably sold out, and they are just closing up!"

pity…

His shouts were eventually drowned out by the wind. The group of old friends attracted by the delicious food had long disappeared from sight, leaving only a string of laughter and joy...

"Forget it, let them figure it out on their own. If they see that there's nothing left to sell over there, they'll naturally go home."

Grandpa Yang shook his head, thinking that he should take care of himself first and quicken his pace to get home, lest he get back late and his wife would nag him again.

He jogged all the way back to his home, ran upstairs, pushed open the door, and the door hinges creaked.

"I am back!"

Uncle Yang shouted as he entered the door.

In the kitchen, Aunt Yang was busy cooking. When she heard the noise, she quickly put down the spatula in her hand, poked her head out, and saw that it was her husband who had returned. She frowned and said, "Why did you come back just now? Did you sneak out to play chess again? Dinner is almost ready, and you don't come to help. Our daughter and her family will be here soon."

While changing his shoes, Grandpa Yang responded repeatedly: "I know, I know, I have already rushed back."

Aunt Yang glared at him and said in a feigned anger, "You knew your family was busy, but you still went out. You really wanted to make me anxious!"

Seeing this, Uncle Yang quickly smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. Look what good things I brought you."

As he spoke, he pulled out a bag of spinach steamed cakes from his bosom as if offering a treasure and shook it gently in front of Aunt Yang.

"Oh, what is this green thing?" Aunt Yang looked at the steamed cake in front of her with disgust.

"This is steamed cake, but not ordinary steamed cake, it's spinach steamed cake!" Uncle Yang explained. "There are green steamed cakes? Have you been cheated? How much coloring is added? Old man, you dare to buy this kind of thing, what if you get sick from it?" Aunt Yang looked worried.

Grandpa Yang smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, this spinach cake is made with fresh spinach juice, it's pure natural, without any additives. Besides, this is not a good thing that can be bought casually..."

Before he could finish his words, Aunt Yang interrupted him: "It's just a steamed cake. If you want to eat it, tell me and I'll make it for you tomorrow. Why waste that money?"

Uncle Yang didn't take it seriously. He took out a spinach steamed cake from the bag and said, "It's not about money. The key is that you can't buy it even if you have money. Let me tell you, this is made by Chef Huang from Doraimi Kindergarten, who taught the children how to make it. It tastes great. You will know when you try it."

Aunt Yang still had some doubts: "What's the use of Chef Huang's teaching? How good can the food made by the children be..."

Uncle Yang didn't explain any further.

After all, facts speak louder than words!

He stuffed the spinach cake in his hand directly into her mouth: "You will know after you try it!"

Aunt Yang took a bite subconsciously, took the spinach cake in her hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "You old man...eh?"

She took a look at the spinach steamed cake.

Chewed it a few times.

Then he took another bite.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Uncle Yang looked at her face full of enjoyment and immediately knew that she had been conquered by the taste of spinach steamed cake, and said proudly.

Aunt Yang nodded with a satisfied smile on her face: "It's really good. The steamed cake is soft and sweet, and the aroma of spinach is also very strong. I didn't expect that Chef Huang from the Doraimi Kindergarten is really good at cooking. The steamed cakes he taught the children to make are so delicious..."

Just at this moment...

The door was gently pushed open again, accompanied by a crisp call: "Mom, Dad, we are here..."

Then came the tender voice of a child:

"Grandpa~"

"Grandma~"

The ending sound is so long...

The two elders didn't need to look, they knew who was coming just by listening to the sound.

Their faces immediately blossomed with warm smiles, and they came forward to greet her: "Oh! Our precious daughter is here, grandpa and grandma were just talking about you, and here you are, come, let grandma hug you."

As Aunt Yang spoke, she took her granddaughter from her daughter's arms, a happy smile on her face. She gently patted her daughter's back and happily walked towards the living room.

The parents of Wu Lao Nannan stood at the door, looking particularly redundant...

Sure enough, the granddaughter is the true love, the daughter is just an accident...

Nannan’s mother Yang Xinrou felt mixed emotions, but she was used to it.

After Aunt Yang held her daughter and sat down on the sofa, Grandpa Yang couldn't wait to take out the fragrant spinach steamed cake and handed it to the little one: "Nannan, are you hungry? Come, try the spinach steamed cake that grandpa bought for you. It's delicious!"

"Thank you... Grandpa~"

The one and a half year old girl couldn't speak fluently yet and responded haltingly. At the same time, she stretched out her little hand and took the green steamed cake curiously.

Seeing this, Yang Xinrou stepped forward and said anxiously, "Dad, Nannan can't accept the taste of spinach. Don't give her this. I'm afraid she will feel uncomfortable after eating it."

Xie Jiahao added: "Yes, Dad, our daughter is a little sensitive to spinach, so we usually try to avoid giving it to her."

After hearing this, Grandpa Yang's smile froze slightly, and then he looked apologetic: "Oh, look at my memory, really, how could I forget this. Nannan, then we won't eat it. Grandpa will get you something else. There must be something you like."

As he said this, he reached out to take the spinach steamed cake from Nannan.

But the action was still a beat slow.

Nannan curiously put the spinach steamed cake in her hand into her mouth and took small bites.

This moment...

Grandpa Yang and his family were so nervous that they waited nervously, fearing that their daughter would not like the taste and vomit in pain.

But to everyone's surprise...

There was no discomfort on Nannan's little face. Instead, her eyes lit up, as if she was pleasantly surprised by the unexpected deliciousness.

Then, Nannan took another small bite and said incoherently while eating: "Good~"

Yang Xinrou and the other four: “(0)~”

I'll go~
Actually ate it!

And said it tastes good!

This is great too!
Aunt Yang couldn't help laughing out loud: "Look, our daughter actually likes this spinach steamed cake..."

Grandpa Yang smiled even more proudly, and said proudly: "It seems that this spinach steamed cake is really attractive. Even our little baby Nannan has been conquered by it."

Yang Xinrou was also delighted and asked curiously, "Dad, where did you buy this spinach cake? I'll buy some tomorrow and give it to my daughter as a complementary food. Spinach is nutritious and especially suitable for children. My daughter didn't want to eat spinach before, and I had no idea what to do. Now that she can accept the taste of this cake, I can buy some for her often in the future."

Grandpa Yang said helplessly, "This is what Chef Huang from Doraimi Kindergarten taught the children to make. There happened to be a charity sale today, so I bought a few pieces to try. If you want to buy it in the future, you may not be able to buy it. The things in the kindergarten are not sold to the public. I just happened to run into the event today and bought some."

"No way...if I go buy it now, will there be any left?" Yang Xinrou asked anxiously.

“Gone! They were all snapped up by nearby residents…” Uncle Yang spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless.

"No way……"

I just gave her a glimmer of hope, but how come all her hopes were shattered again... (End of this chapter)
