Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

After finishing the work at hand, Liu Suyu stood at the door of her office and looked around furtively, trying to make sure that there was no one around so that she could take the opportunity to sneak into the kitchen and help Huang Jun.

Ah!
More precisely…

Do you want to go to the kitchen to see if Huang Jun’s braised chicken is ready?
By the way, try some!
"Uh... As the purchasing manager, isn't it my job to go to the kitchen to oversee the progress? Isn't it my duty to care about the cooking situation? Why do you have to be so sneaky and act like a thief?"

Realizing that his behavior was inconsistent with the identity of a purchasing manager, Liu Suyu quickly straightened his back and gently adjusted his suit. His usual confidence and composure instantly returned.

She walked down the stairs with long, brisk steps.

The waves on her chest could not bear the weight and rose and fell violently with her rapid steps.

As soon as I stepped out of the door of the office building...

A tempting aroma came with the wind and instantly lingered at her nose, making her take a deep breath and indulge in this mouth-watering delicacy.

Ah!
smell good!
I can never get enough of smelling it!

After a moment of immersion, her eyes sparkled with anticipation, and she whispered to herself, "It looks like Huang Jun's braised chicken will be ready soon. It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I'm in for a treat..."

Braised chicken, here I come...

She was delighted in her heart, but her face remained cool and reserved, and her pace involuntarily quickened.

In the blink of an eye.

Her figure quietly appeared at the kitchen door.

She gently pushed open the door, and a stronger fragrance filled her nose, which lifted her spirits.

Once you step into the kitchen...

She quickly got into the state, put on her equipment consciously, carried out the necessary disinfection procedures, and then walked into the operating room.

At this moment, Aunt Li and others were gathered around Huang Jun in the operation room, their eyes fixed on the delicacy in his hands. Their anticipation and desire almost overflowed from their eyes, and they were completely unaware of her arrival.

The quiet atmosphere made her feel a little awkward.

Got~
Since no one noticed her arrival, she could only take the initiative to break the silence.

She smiled and greeted Huang Jun: "Chef Huang..."

"Manager Liu is here..."

As soon as Huang Jun heard the voice, he immediately guessed the identity of the visitor. He responded while looking up, gave Liu Suyu a gentle smile, and nodded slightly.

Liu Suyu smiled back, with a charming arc at the corner of her mouth, and said casually: "I'll see if there is anything I can help you with."

To everyone, these words seemed like a cover-up, and there was a subtle smile in the air.

Aunt Li was even more amused and joked, "Manager Liu, you have a perfect timing. The food has just come out of the pot, and I'm afraid it's not your turn to help. But, we are in need of a professional food connoisseur. Please bear with it and let us taste it."

Uh... the implication of these words is that Liu Suyu came here just to eat for free!
Liu Suyu understood the hidden meaning of Aunt Li's words, and a blush quietly appeared on her cold face.

Since her thoughts were completely known, Liu Suyu simply smiled and responded calmly: "Aunt Li, you are really observant. No little thoughts can escape your sharp eyes. To be honest, I did come here for the tasting. I want to see with my own eyes whether Chef Huang's cooking skills are still perfect and whether he can meet the high standards of our Doraimi Kindergarten for food quality. However, I believe that with Chef Huang's superb cooking skills, today's braised chicken rice will not disappoint me."

"Chef Huang's cooking skills are beyond reproach. Who in the entire kindergarten wouldn't praise him?"

Aunt Li's face was full of pride. She turned to look at Huang Jun who was busy at the side and said, "Chef Huang, you are right, right? Your braised chicken and rice today must be extremely delicious. Manager Liu will praise it endlessly!"

Huang Jun kept moving his hands when he heard Aunt Li's words, but a humble smile appeared on his lips: "Aunt Li, please stop praising me. If you praise me any more, I will be so proud of myself. But when it comes to this braised chicken with rice, I have put a lot of effort into it, from selecting ingredients to cooking, and I strive for perfection in every step. Since Manager Liu is here to taste it in person, I have to show my sincerity and guarantee that you will be satisfied with the meal."

"it is good!"

Liu Suyu nodded gracefully, the smile on her face widened, and she asked expectantly, "Chef Huang, can we taste it now?"

"of course can!"

Huang Jun readily agreed, and at the same time carefully scooped the remaining braised chicken into a basin, brought it out of the operation room, and greeted everyone enthusiastically: "Everyone, don't just stand there, come and try it first! We still have to be busy later!"

"Okay, then we'll just obey your orders!"

Everyone responded and the atmosphere was full of joy.

Lu Pengfei was even more direct and said straightforwardly: "Then I'll go get some rice!"

After saying that, he fetched a small basin as if he knew the way, and filled the basin with a few spoonfuls of crystal clear rice with distinct grains, until it was full but not overflowing.

He immediately walked back to the pot of braised chicken, scooped up two large spoonfuls of chicken pieces with a spoon, and covered the rice with them.

This scene really proves the saying "everything can be covered". Although it is not the way to eat braised chicken with rice, it has a unique flavor when transformed into the form of rice.

With this combination, the rich and mellow soup of the braised chicken will slowly seep into every gap of the rice, allowing the rice to absorb the essence of the soup, with distinct taste layers, and become more delicious and tasty.

"This is absolutely authentic braised chicken with rice. The chicken, the soup, and even every ingredient are filled with warm yellow. The visual alone is enough to arouse people's unlimited appetite!"

Sitting in the spacious and bright dining area of ​​the cafeteria, Lu Pengfei's eyes were focused on the "braised chicken rice" in front of him. The chicken pieces were neatly arranged on the rice, and the golden soup had quietly seeped in, dyeing the rice an attractive color.

At this moment, he could no longer suppress his excitement and picked up the chopsticks impatiently and gently picked up the...

A piece of golden and fragrant chicken appears on the chopsticks.

He put it into his mouth and finished it in one gulp.

As he chewed it carefully, an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face.

The chicken is so tender, with an elastic yet delicate texture. The rich aroma of mushrooms is intertwined with the deliciousness of chicken, and with a touch of just the right amount of spiciness, it's simply the perfect dish to go with rice!

good to eat!

He ate bite after bite, as if the only thing left in the world was the aroma and taste of this bowl of braised chicken rice.

Liu Suyu filled half a bowl of rice and scooped some chicken pieces into a small plate.

She raised her chopsticks gracefully, savoring the warmth of the rice while putting the chicken pieces into her mouth one by one, chewing them carefully, enjoying the satisfaction brought by every bite.

After tasting the chicken nuggets, she did not rush to finish the meal. Instead, she picked up the small plate and prepared to pour the remaining soup into the bowl.

moment.

The golden liquid slid in like silk, giving the rice an attractive luster.

She stirred the rice with chopsticks, allowing each grain to be fully soaked in the rich braised chicken soup, until each grain was coated with that mouth-watering richness.

The rice becomes oily and shiny, and full of fragrance.

Take a spoonful and put it into your mouth.

Cool!

The taste was so delicious that one almost wanted to swallow his tongue.

"Well, this braised chicken and rice really tastes great!"

Liu Suyu exclaimed sincerely.

This is not her first time trying braised chicken. She has tried many versions, both takeout and in restaurants.

But compared with the braised chicken cooked by Huang Jun himself, all those seem to pale in comparison.

Huang Jun’s braised chicken is known for its purity.

The ingredients are extremely simple and the choice of ingredients is just right, with only tender chicken as the main ingredient, supplemented by mushrooms, fungus, and green and red peppers. There are no complicated side dishes to snatch the flavor.

The soup is thick but not greasy, and is especially suitable for mixing with rice. She turned her head and looked at Huang Jun who was busy in the kitchen, with a smile on her lips, and said sincerely: "Chef Huang, your cooking skills are really amazing, and it is simply a rare delicacy in the world. I have always been curious, how do you make every dish so memorable?"

Aunt Li joked, "Of course it's because Chef Huang's hands are kissed by God, so whatever he cooks tastes so good that people can't stop eating it."

Huang Jun smiled modestly and warmly when he heard this. He put down his work and said slowly, "In fact, cooking is more like a deep dialogue with ingredients for me. I try to understand the uniqueness of each ingredient and use the most suitable method to stimulate their potential so that they can show the best flavor in the most natural state. I believe that as long as we do it with our heart, every dish can become a medium to convey emotion and warmth."

Qian Guoxiang nodded in agreement, his eyes full of admiration and appreciation for Huang Jun: "Chef Huang is absolutely right. Cooking is not only a skill, but also an art and an expression of emotion. Every dish you make with your heart makes us feel the warmth and emotion behind the food."

Although Liu Suyu didn't know much about the secrets of cooking, she was deeply touched by these words at this moment.

I suddenly realized that the reason why food can touch people's hearts is not only because of its taste, but also because of the emotions and care behind it.

At this moment, she had even more respect for Huang Jun.

While everyone was immersed in the warm atmosphere of cooking and food...

Liu Suyu suddenly remembered another important thing: "Oh, by the way, Chef Huang, I have good news to tell you! The quota for the expansion class in our kindergarten next semester has been filled in advance!"

"what?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned and looked surprised.

Huang Jun asked in confusion: "Full enrollment? How is that possible? Haven't we officially announced the expansion of the class yet?"

"Yes, absolutely true!"

Liu Suyu nodded in confirmation, with the corners of his mouth raised, unable to hide the joy in his heart.

Aunt Li's eyes widened when she heard this, with a look of disbelief on her face: "Oh my, did I miss some big news? How come the quota for the expanded class was filled up quietly? Manager Liu, can you tell me what exactly happened?"

As she spoke, she simply took her bowl and moved to Liu Suyu's side, looking as if she was eager to hear gossip.

Seeing this, Aunt Lin was also attracted by this sudden surprise, and hurriedly sat down next to Aunt Li, and both of them put on their best "listener" postures.

Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, Liu Suyu briefly explained the cause of the matter: "This morning, many parents heard from somewhere that our kindergarten would expand classes next semester, so they came to our kindergarten to ask Director Liang. When they heard that it was true, they wanted to sign up first. Director Liang registered their interest list first. Later, when they went back and promoted it, many parents flocked to it. As a result, the places for the expanded classes next semester were booked out before they were officially announced. In fact, there are still many parents who haven't booked them, and they are begging Director Liang to expand the class again..."

"That's a good thing..."

Aunt Li and Aunt Lin clapped their hands on the table happily.

"Yes, this shows that our efforts have been recognized by parents." Liu Suyu said with a smile, "This also means that the teaching quality and service level of our kindergarten have been highly praised by everyone. Of course, the cooking skills of Chef Huang and the hard work of the kitchen staff are also indispensable. Our children eat healthily and happily, and parents are naturally relieved."

"Then our kindergarten will no longer have to worry about enrollment resources." Aunt Li said excitedly.

Qian Guoxiang continued, his eyes twinkling with longing for the future: "If this momentum continues, our kindergarten may soon be able to open a branch..."

"With Chef Huang here, it's only a matter of time before we open a branch school!"

Liu Suyu interjected confidently.

Her confidence naturally comes from the tremendous changes that Huang Jun's arrival has brought to the kindergarten.

Since Huang Jun joined, he not only successfully solved the enrollment problem caused by the opening of the Hujin Kindergarten next door, but also helped the kindergarten win the honor of a first-class kindergarten.

Nowadays, the expansion of classes is even more popular, and the places are full before they are officially announced. All these achievements make her full of firm confidence in the future.

of course.

If other kindergartens knew that many parents were going to transfer schools next semester, they would probably have a huge headache!
She actually guessed this.

The principals of the kindergartens in the city were indeed very upset when they learned about this situation. But later, when they learned that the kindergarten the parents were going to transfer their children to next semester was Doraemi Kindergarten, they could only accept this fact helplessly.

At this time.

The nursery teachers came to get their meals. As soon as they entered the door, they were attracted by the rich aroma and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, braised chicken! It must be delicious. Aunt Li, Aunt Lin, are you eating? Is it delicious?"

Aunt Li and Aunt Lin smiled at each other and answered in tacit understanding, "Of course it's delicious. When has the food cooked by Chef Huang ever been bad?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The teachers nodded repeatedly, and then asked with concern, "Aunt Li, Aunt Lin, are our meals ready?"

"Don't worry, we're all ready!"

Aunt Li responded readily, and then she and Aunt Lin quickened their eating speed. After finishing their meal quickly, they assisted the childcare teachers to carefully place the plates of hot meals on the carts, and watched them return home with their full loads.

Just as Aunt Li and Aunt Lin were about to get some more braised chicken rice, they saw Jiang Shuihan coming quickly.

Aunt Li couldn't help but ask curiously: "Hey, Jiang Anchor, didn't you say you couldn't come? Why are you here now..."

Jiang Shuihan: “…”

Why else?

I came here because of Chef Huang’s braised chicken…

Aunt Lin noticed Jiang Shuihan's embarrassment and smiled to help: "Anchor Jiang must be worried about Anchor Lu, so he came to check on her."

Jiang Shuihan: “…”

Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin, how can I have the nerve to ask for a free meal with the way you solve the problem?

She didn't know whether to thank Aunt Lin or blame her, so she could only respond with an awkward but polite smile: "Aunts, you guys are busy, I'll go see Brother Peng first..."

"Shui Han, I'm here. Let me tell you, the braised chicken rice made by Chef Huang is really delicious."

Lu Pengfei waved at her.

He realized later that if Jiang Shuihan ate it, then he wouldn't be able to have her share, right?
He smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, Shuihan, you have to lose weight and not eat today. Shuihan, you must hold on. I believe in you..."

Jiang Shuihan: “…”

Stab as soon as you meet.

Brother Peng, we were enemies in our previous life, right?

Friendship warning!

"Anchor Jiang, don't you really want to try it? Chef Huang's braised chicken is absolutely amazing!" Liu Suyu invited with a smile.

Jiang Shuihan hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the temptation and said, "Since Manager Liu invited me, I should give him this honor... Then I'll eat a little..."

As he spoke, Jiang Shuihan went to the rice serving area and scooped two mouthfuls of rice. He also scooped two pieces of chicken from the basin, sat aside and tasted them carefully, and finished them in just a few bites.

After eating, she licked her lips with satisfaction.

It’s really not satisfying!
Then, she became greedy again: "How about... a little more?"

As a result, this "slightly" became unstoppable. Jiang Shuihan originally wanted to just have a quick taste, but ended up eating a whole bowl of braised chicken with rice, which made her rub her stomach so full.

Even so, the alluring aroma still left her wanting more.

She patted her round belly and said with determination: "From tomorrow on, I will control my diet, move my legs, and seriously start to lose weight!"

After saying this, he burped with satisfaction, adding some vividness to his bold words.

Lu Pengfei joked, "Shui Han, are you sure you can control your mouth tomorrow? Especially when facing the delicious food made by Chef Huang?"

Jiang Shuihan: “…”

Then I'll shut up!
Just move your legs and get moving! (End of this chapter)
