Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

"Wake up! One. Two. Three. Four. Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up..."

As the energetic melody of "Happy Wake-up Song" in Doremi Kindergarten was cheerfully played, the tranquility of the nap room was completely broken, announcing the warm end of the children's sweet nap time.

These cheerful music melodies fell into the ears of every child. There was no need for the teachers to call them at all. They jumped up from their beds one after another as if they had heard the assembly call.

Without the teachers' urging, they were very conscious and proactive in quickly putting on their clothes and shoes, and couldn't wait to run to the classroom.

Actually!
They didn't really fall asleep at noon today, they were all excitedly waiting for this moment to come!
After all, this afternoon, the cooking class they have been longing for is about to begin. This is not only a brand new course experience, but more importantly, it will be taught by Uncle Chef Huang, whom they love and admire.

The little ones silently encouraged themselves in their hearts, determined to study hard in the afternoon class. After they learned it, they would no longer have to endure the monotonous meals at home every day, let alone the mediocre takeout.

As for whether they can learn it, and whether they will be used as free labor by their parents after learning it and become the new generation of "chefs" in the family, these little guys have never thought about it at all, nor have they taken it to heart.

After all, they are still children, with pure minds and without so many complicated considerations.

However, this scene completely overturned the teachers' inherent perception of children as "slow and slow", catching them off guard and their eyes flashed with incredible surprise.

"It seems that the children have really grown up and become so self-aware and considerate..."

The surprise in Xie Jianing's heart instantly turned into gentle relief, and a warm smile involuntarily appeared at the corners of her mouth, as if a spring breeze was blowing on her face.

Yang Yuxi's eyes flashed with a light of insight, and she said: "Teacher Xie, your sigh is a little early. I think these little guys have already made up their minds. Their minds are full of the anticipated cooking class in the afternoon, and they are dreaming of becoming little chefs! They didn't suddenly become so mature and sensible after waking up~"

Xie Jianing, who was suddenly "dismantled", said: "..."

It hurts my heart, old man.

Who can blame the children for never showing such enthusiasm and anticipation when taking her class?

really.

If we want children to be active and self-conscious, we only need one Huang Jun...

This realization made her reflect on herself, and at the same time she felt a subtle sense of frustration.

Fortunately, this object is the most popular one in the whole park - Huang Jun!
This relieved her sense of loss, otherwise she might have been even more upset...

moment.

After adjusting her mood, she threw herself into the present situation with greater enthusiasm: "But having said that, the performance of the children today is indeed eye-catching. They are well-organized and full of enthusiasm. Such growth and progress deserves recognition and encouragement from all of us. We cannot ignore their shining points because of temporary comparison. Instead, we should take this as an opportunity to guide and accompany them more attentively, so that they can go further and further on the road of growth and grow stronger and stronger."

"Teacher Xie is absolutely right! We should give him a lot of praise."

Yang Yuxi nodded repeatedly in agreement, then gently turned to the group of children who had just finished using the toilet on their own and lined up in an orderly manner, her eyes sparkling with sincere admiration: "Children, look at yourselves, how capable you are! Not only did you get up and dress on your own without the teacher urging you, you also went to the toilet obediently, and now the line is so neat and uniform. The teacher is really proud of you!"

"Hee hee~"

After being praised, the children all showed proud smiles on their faces, like the brightest flowers in spring.

There were also a few shy little ones who felt embarrassed by the praise. They lowered their heads shyly, gently twisting the corners of their clothes with their fingers, making them look even more adorable.

Yang Yuxi clapped her hands and continued, "Okay, now, let's hold hands and walk briskly towards the small kitchen on the playground! There, a little chef adventure full of fun and challenges awaits us."

Before he finished speaking, the children burst into excited cheers:
"Yeah! That's great, we can finally start. I've been waiting...waiting so long that the flowers are almost dying!"

"Yes, yes, I have finally waited until this moment. My heart is about to fly!"

"Wow, from today on, I am also a little chef. I feel so awesome!"

"Hehe, it makes me happy just thinking about it. What delicious food will we make today?"

"Yes, yes, what delicious food will Qingqing Baba teach us to make? I really want to know. I'm so looking forward to it!"

"Whatever Qingqing Baba teaches us to cook, it will definitely be super delicious. I'm so looking forward to it!"

"Qingqing, Weiwei, do you know what dish your dad is going to teach us to cook today? Tell us quickly..."

"I don't know either. Dad didn't tell me and my sister. He just said it was a secret..."

"Yeah, my sister is right. That's what Daddy said."

"..."

While having fun, the children also did not forget to abide by the rules.

With a gentle gesture from teacher Yang Yuxi, they quickly quieted down and, according to the previous arrangement, stretched out their hands and tightly held the hands of their friends beside them.

In the blink of an eye.

A well-organized and energetic small team quietly took shape.

They walked briskly, one step at a time, and set out on the journey to the small kitchen in the playground with full of anticipation.

along the way.

The soft breeze, carrying the fresh scent of flowers and plants, brushed gently across the children's faces, making their moods more cheerful than ever, just like birds in spring. They held hands, whispered to each other from time to time, expressing their joy and expectations in low voices.

As teams slowly walked onto the playground and arrived at their own class’s exclusive area…

The scene before them instantly made the children’s eyes widen.

There are colorful and exquisitely designed mini workbenches arranged in an orderly manner, like secret gardens waiting for them to explore bravely...

next second...

The children's exclamations were like a summer thunderstorm, bursting out in an instant, one after another:

"Wow, this place is so beautiful! It's even more dreamy than the fairy tale world I imagined!"

"Yes, everything here is so surprising! I feel like I have walked into a place full of miracles!"

"Wow, is this the place where we can make delicious food ourselves? It looks so professional, just like those chef competitions on TV. I'm so excited! I want to run over and make it right away!"

"No, no, this is not just a place to make delicious food, it's more like a paradise full of... well, full of magic and creativity! We can become little chefs here and make our own delicious food!"

"Haha, what do you mean by becoming little chefs? When we put on aprons and chef hats later, won't we be real little chefs?"

"..."

The children all expressed their amazement and love, and every little face was filled with pure happiness, and they couldn't wait to step into it and start their journey to become a chef.

Huang Jun's voice sounded gently: "Good afternoon, children, welcome to our food preparation area. Now, please find your own mini workbench in order according to your number, stand at the corresponding position, put on your apron and chef hat. Next, we will make food together."

The words fell.

Teachers from each class began to take action, patiently guiding the children in their classes on how to find their own mini workbench according to their numbers.

This makes the children feel fresh.

Following the teacher's instructions, they moved excitedly among the neat rows of small workbenches like a group of little explorers, looking for their own exclusive seats.

After a while...

Each child found his or her own mini workbench, and obediently picked up the apron on the table and put it on, and then put on the chef's hat.

Seeing that they were doing it in an efficient manner, the teachers of each class felt relieved. Then, they all retreated to the edge of the children's operating area in a tacit manner, stood quietly, and paid gentle attention to the children in their class.

This waiting is not limited to the teaching team.

The kitchen staff and school leaders who were temporarily free from busy affairs also joined the ranks of the guardians.

They stood not far away, silently watching the children's every move.

After all, this is the children’s first cooking class and no one can guarantee that any accidents will occur. It will always be more reassuring to have more people watching over them.

Lu Pengfei and Jiang Shuihan are also among them.

However, they still acted as photographers to take photos for future publicity purposes in the park.

At this moment, the children who had dressed first were looking at everything in front of them with curiosity.

Although these small workbenches are small and exquisite, they are fully equipped with a variety of cooking tools and ingredients, as if they are miniature kitchen worlds.

Driven by curiosity, their little hands unconsciously stroked the pots, pans, and utensils, feeling the texture of these tools.

Huang Jun saw that all the children were dressed neatly, nodded with satisfaction, and praised with a smile: "Very good, the children have done a great job!"

When the children heard these words, they all stopped what they were doing and raised their clear eyes, all focusing their gazes on Huang Jun.

His obedient and focused appearance moved the teachers standing by, and they felt an indescribable envy and jealousy in their hearts.

"Ah, these little guys really love Chef Huang. It's a surprise to me as their class teacher... They have never been so serious when taking my class. I'm thankful if they don't make trouble for me..." Jiang Xinzhuo shook his head with a wry smile.

Wei Siyi nodded in agreement: "Who says it's not true? However, since Chef Huang joined our kindergarten, the atmosphere here has changed. The children have obviously become more disciplined and love to study."

Zheng Yujia took over the conversation, full of gratitude: "Indeed, thanks to Chef Huang. Not only can the children enjoy delicious meals every day, but our teaching work has also become much smoother and the pressure has been reduced a lot."

Xie Jianing smiled and shared a family story: "During this period, I packed up the extra food that Chef Huang made for us at noon every day after school. My mom and dad were greedy and coaxed me into giving them a few bites. They immediately fell in love with the food and kept praising the food in the kindergarten. They also said that I was lucky to have such a good kindergarten."

Zheng Yujia nodded repeatedly: "My mother is the same. Now she eats my food every night, and I don't have enough to eat. She also asked me if our kindergarten cafeteria is short of staff. She wants to be a vegetable washer. She said she wants to eat such delicious food every day."

Yang Yuxi said with anticipation, "Next month is my father's birthday. I'm thinking about whether I can ask Chef Huang to help us prepare a sumptuous birthday banquet. I just don't know if he will agree."

Cai Jingxian heard this, a sly look flashed in her eyes, she blinked and smiled, "Don't worry, Chef Huang is such a nice guy, he will definitely be happy to help. Even if he doesn't agree, you can still consider it..."

"What are you thinking about?"

Yang Yuxi's beautiful eyes couldn't help but show a hint of doubt, and she asked curiously.

Cai Jingxian raised a meaningful smile at the corner of her mouth: "Consider...promising your body..."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Yuxi's cheeks flushed instantly. She glared at Cai Jingxian shyly and said angrily: "Teacher Cai, you are so naughty. How can you say such things casually? The children are still here, don't teach them bad things!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Chef Huang is about to start teaching the kids."

Liu Suyu on the side gave a timely reminder, causing all the teachers to stop joking and turn their attention to the cooking class that was about to begin.

Huang Jun looked at the group of children standing obediently and waiting quietly, a satisfied smile bloomed on his face again, and he asked in a gentle voice: "Children, are you all ready?"

"Uncle Huang, we are ready!"

The children answered in unison, their voices clear and pleasant.

"very good!"

Huang Jun's eyes sparkled, and he continued, "Today, our kindergarten ushered in a special moment - the first cooking class. And today's protagonist is the delicious and interesting pan-fried buns!"

Huh?
Pan-fried buns?
What bag is that?

When the children who had never tasted such delicious food heard Huang Jun announce that he would teach everyone how to make pan-fried dumplings, curiosity was written all over their faces. They looked at each other and had a big question in their minds.

In their memories, there is only the delicious Shengjianbao, and the name Shuijianbao is the first time they have heard of it.

The reason why it is so unknown is because there are no shops selling pan-fried buns locally...

But this does not affect their anticipation for the upcoming cooking experience.

Especially those children who have eaten pan-fried buns, their eyes are bright like stars. Lin Sixuan can't wait to share: "I have eaten pan-fried buns. The skin is crispy, just like biting on a biscuit, but it is very soft. There is a lot of meat inside. When you take a bite, the gravy flows out. It is so fragrant!"

When the other children heard this, they all opened their mouths wide, and the attractive golden appearance and rich taste of the pan-fried dumplings emerged in their minds.

"Really? I'm drooling just hearing you say that!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I want to try it too, it sounds delicious~"

"Qingqing Baba, when can we start making it? I also want to make such delicious pan-fried buns!"

"Uncle Chef Huang, please start quickly. I can't wait!"

"Uncle Huang, let's get started quickly. I really want to eat pan-fried buns!"

"..."

Looking at the classroom that was gradually becoming noisy, Huang Jun couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He didn't expect that the children would start making a fuss before the class even started... (End of this chapter)
