Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

Li Xiuxian and Xu Caihong came to the door of Class 4 one after another, slowly pushed open the door, and walked into the classroom lightly.

Although they moved so cautiously, the slight sound of the door opening was like a breeze, gently blowing through the tranquility of the classroom, and immediately attracted the attention of the three teachers and a group of children present.

Their eyes all turned towards the door, especially the children. When they saw that it was them coming, they couldn't help but have big question marks in their little heads.

Huh?
Isn’t this Yuanyuan’s mother and Yuanyuan’s grandmother?
Why did they suddenly walk into the classroom?
Is there anything wrong?
After all, in their impression, parents are not allowed to enter the kindergarten or classroom except on Fridays...

Just then, a cheerful voice broke the doubt.

"Yuanyuan's mom, Yuanyuan's grandma, you are here!" Xie Jianing stood up to greet them with a warm smile.

Li Xiuxian also responded with a kind smile: "Teacher Xie, Teacher Yang, we..."

Before she finished her words, a chubby little figure came whizzing in from a corner of the classroom like a happy little whirlwind.

This person was none other than her beloved daughter, Liu Yuanyuan!

She came running towards them with a big smile on her face, and she shouted excitedly as she ran: "Mommy, Grandma."

"Hey, Yuanyuan."

Li Xiuxian and Xu Caihong squatted down almost at the same time, opened their warm arms, and welcomed Yuanyuan with joy.

Yuanyuan happily jumped into their arms like a little bird returning to its nest, and the three of them hugged each other tightly.

Yuanyuan blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "Mom, Grandma, why did you come in suddenly?"

Li Xiuxian smiled gently and replied: "Yuanyuan, your grandmother and I came to your kindergarten specially and plan to have dinner here. I will take you to the kitchen in a while to taste the dinner made by Qingqing's father..."

Upon hearing this, Yuanyuan's eyes widened in surprise. She covered her mouth with her hands unconsciously, with a gleam of disbelief in her eyes: "Wow! Really? This is amazing!"

"Of course it's true!"

Li Xiuxian looked at Yuanyuan lovingly and added affirmatively: "When has mom ever lied to our little princess Yuanyuan?"

Xu Caihong also smiled and nodded in agreement.

"I know~"

Yuanyuan realized it belatedly and patted her head excitedly: "Mom, did you use the 'family meal coupon' we won on New Year's Day to exchange for dinner tonight?"

Li Xiuxian's eyes were full of praise, and she nodded with a smile: "Ah, my Yuanyuan is so smart, she guessed it right at once!"

As she spoke, she reached out and gently pinched her round, pink cheeks.

Yuanyuan jumped up excitedly, dancing and cheering, "Yeah~ That's great, I can eat Qingqing Baba's cooking again in the evening~"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the children around, except Qingqing and Weiwei, showed expressions of envy and longing.

They want to eat too.
So much so that when the school bell rang, the children were still "stuck" by the tempting aroma and were reluctant to leave their seats.

After repeated urging from Yang Yuxi and Xie Jianing, they reluctantly picked up their small schoolbags, slung their water bottles over their shoulders, and barely formed a line.

however.

Among this group of children who are about to embark on their journey home, there is a small figure that stands out - Lin Yipeng is still sitting safely on his little chair, with no intention of getting up at all.

That's right!

He was planning a "little plan" in his mind - as long as he didn't leave, maybe he would have the chance to stay and enjoy the kindergarten's dinner tonight!
See this.

Yang Yuxi had to call out his name individually: "Pengpeng, it's time to go home after school. We have to line up to go home."

But Lin Yipeng just frowned slightly, still immersed in his own little world. He neither stood up nor responded, looking like he "didn't hear anything".

"Pengpeng, Teacher Yang is calling you to line up and go home."

Seeing that Lin Yipeng seemed not to hear, Qingqing reminded him in a baby voice.

Weiwei also joined in the persuasion with a confused look on her face: "Yes, Pengpeng, the teacher is calling you, why don't you respond? Come over here quickly!"

"I don't want to go home, I want to eat in kindergarten!"

Lin Yipeng shook his little head slightly, and then expressed his wish without any concealment: "Eat the dinner your dad made today."

"But Pengpeng, you don't have a 'family meal voucher', and your parents don't work in the kindergarten, so you can't eat here." Qingqing said it all.

Lin Yipeng: "(﹏)"

He had a gloomy face and grumbled aggrievedly: "I don't care, I just want to stay in the kindergarten and eat~"

Seeing that there was no response when she called him, Yang Yuxi had no choice but to come over. Then she heard these words and felt helpless.

"Pengpeng, can you come to the kindergarten to eat tomorrow? Mom is waiting for you outside the gate. You see, it's so cold outside. Mom will get sick if she catches a cold. Who will take you to school tomorrow?"

Yang Yuxi coaxed him gently while pulling Lin Yipeng's hand, and finally let him put on his small schoolbag and join the queue.

When they arrived at the garden gate, she smiled and handed Lin Yipeng to Qu Qing who was waiting there.

After sending the last child away, Yang Yuxi, Xie Jianing and Wang Wenxia turned around together, holding Qingqing and Weiwei's hands, and leading Yuanyuan's family of three, slowly walked towards the back kitchen.

As we set foot on the path leading to the restaurant, the aroma of food in the air became richer and richer, as if every breath was foreshadowing a feast for our taste buds.

"Wow, it smells so good! Mom, my stomach is growling with hunger. I really want to jump on the dining table and have a big meal right now~"

The round little face was shining with a unique desire for food, and the little tongue involuntarily swept across the lips. The innocent look instantly ignited the joy of the people around her.

Seeing this, Yang Yuxi, Xie Jianing, Wang Wenxia and others couldn't help but smile and could not help laughing at Yuanyuan's greedy look.

When Qingqing and Weiwei heard Yuanyuan's words, they thought that she was praising their father for his delicious cooking in a disguised way. Their little chests immediately puffed up with pride, and the joy in their hearts far exceeded that when they were praised personally.

"Hey, little guy, why don't you seem so impatient when eating at home?"

Li Xiuxian smiled dotingly, and then she gently comforted Yuanyuan: "Don't worry, don't worry, we are rushing to the kitchen, and the delicious food will be in your bowl soon."

After comforting Yuanyuan, she turned around and whispered to her mother-in-law beside her: "I smell these aromas, and I feel that there is a light aroma of pepper and salt, and...well, that rich aroma of braised food. I can feel its mellowness from a long distance. Tonight's dinner is really exciting."

Xu Caihong took a deep breath of the air mixed with all kinds of tempting aromas, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Yes, I also smell the aroma of braised pork. The taste makes people drool just thinking about it. It seems that I was very wise to 'threaten' Qiang Tao today and let him give me this rare dinner spot..."

The parents of other classes who arrived one after another were also looking forward to eating quickly, but they behaved more steadily. They stood quietly with smiles on their faces, enjoying this wonderful time filled with fragrant aroma.

"It's time for dinner, it's time for dinner..."

When dinner was ready, Chu Qiwen received the task and came out to call the teachers and leaders to eat. She stood on the threshold of the kitchen and shouted at the top of her voice. Xie Jianing moved at the sound, with a smile on her face, and quickly pulled up Xiao Qingqing and Weiwei beside her, trotting to her side, and also shouted in a caring manner, shouting in the direction of the teaching building and the office building: "Dinner is ready, come and eat quickly."

Qingqing and Weiwei were overjoyed when they saw this. They imitated the adults and added in their baby voices, "The meal my dad made is ready. Come and eat it together!"

These calls echoed in every corner of the kindergarten, penetrated every corner of the teaching building and office building, and awakened the taste buds and hearts of every teacher and school leader.

Everyone put down their work and gathered towards the kitchen with smiles on their faces.

The teachers who entered the kitchen cafeteria dining area warmly invited the parents of their classes to take a seat.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang. Sorry for the trouble..."

After Li Xiuxian thanked them with a smile, she took her mother-in-law and Yuanyuan to sit down at the dining table.

Not long after the family sat down, Aunt Li and others brought the meal that Huang Jun had carefully prepared to the window.

All of a sudden.

The entire cafeteria dining area was surrounded by a richer and fresher aroma.

Yuanyuan, who was already a little restless, could no longer remain impatient. She yelled and jumped impatiently towards the window. She stood on tiptoes, curiously and excitedly peeking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table.

When the other children saw Yuanyuan like this, they all rushed to the window. A group of little heads crowded together, their eyes flashing with desire, staring at the tempting delicacies intently.

Qingqing and Weiwei did not go with them.

After all, their father is the head cook in the garden, so he has the convenience of getting meals first, and the meals will be served to them later.

as predicted!

Just as the teachers started lining up, Huang Jun walked towards them with a smile, carrying the fragrant food.

Due to the presence of parents, the teachers paid special attention to their demeanor as educators. Even though the aroma of the food had quietly aroused everyone's taste buds, they still remembered to be polite and asked the parents to serve their meals first.

In an atmosphere of humility and courtesy from the teachers, the parents quickly completed their dinner selections.

"Mom, I want to eat this square piece of meat~"

The Dongpo pork on the plate had a deep and attractive color, the skin had a crystal luster, and the aroma was overflowing, which contrasted beautifully with the surrounding green leaves, forming a pleasing picture that instantly attracted Yuanyuan's attention.

Li Xiuxian picked up a piece of Dongpo pork and looked at it, muttering to herself, "Is this Dongpo pork?"

Huang Jun on the side nodded and said, "Yes, it's Dongpo Pork!"

"Haha, I never thought that I could taste this famous dish, Dongpo Pork, in kindergarten!"

Li Xiuxian's face was filled with surprise. She put the piece of meat into a round bowl, then she couldn't help but pick up her mobile phone, took a picture of this tempting scene, and posted it on her circle of friends to show off a little.

After all, looking across the entire city, no, looking across the entire China, the only kindergarten that allows parents to eat the famous dish Dongpo pork in kindergarten is probably Doraemi Kindergarten.

She picked up a piece of Dongpo pork with her chopsticks again, slowly brought it to her lips, and took a light bite. The rich fat seemed to trickle and instantly filled her mouth.

The meat tastes extremely soft yet chewy, and both the fat and lean meat retain their original texture.

The layers of fat and lean meat are intertwined together, making the taste of the meat reach an indescribable harmony.

This perfect taste, coupled with the soft, glutinous and elastic skin, makes the flavor reach the ultimate sublime.

In addition to its amazing texture, the flavor of this meat is equally unforgettable.

Its flavor is distinctly layered, with the salty and fresh flavor of the sauce, the sweet aftertaste, the faint aroma of rice wine and the rich aroma of pork, all intertwined together, making it more delicious the more you eat, and it becomes more and more difficult to put down your chopsticks.

"Wow... Qingqing Dad, the Dongpo pork you made is so delicious. It has completely changed my understanding of this classic dish!" She couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Mmm, this meat is so delicious!"

Yuanyuan took big bites of the Dongpo pork. It was so delicious that her eyes couldn't help but curve into crescents, and she was so happy that she was bubbling with joy.

Xu Caihong and other parents nearby also nodded slightly and continued eating with satisfied looks.

Li Xiuxian turned to look at the golden and crispy shrimp body with an attractive luster, and the surface evenly coated with a layer of delicate and slightly shiny pepper and salt.

She picked up a salt and pepper shrimp, and before she put it in her mouth, the mixture of the numbing aroma of Sichuan peppercorns, the spicy aroma of black pepper powder and the salty and fresh aroma of salt quietly penetrated into her nose, whetting her appetite.

Take a bite...

The skin instantly shatters in the mouth with a slight "crunch" sound, and then the tender shrimp meat blooms on the tip of the tongue. The meat is firm and chewy, yet delicate and smooth, as if the freshness and sweetness from the deep sea slowly spreads in the mouth.

The seasoning of pepper and salt is just right, not overpowering the flavor while perfectly bringing out the deliciousness of the shrimp.

The slight numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns and the sweetness of the shrimp meat are intertwined to form an indescribable harmony and balance that leaves a lasting aftertaste.

"Mom, Yuanyuan, you two should try the salt and pepper prawns, they are really delicious!"

As she spoke, she put a few large shrimps into Yuanyuan and her mother-in-law's bowls.

Compared to the warm and harmonious dining atmosphere in their home, the dining table of Chenchen's home in the third grade next door seemed extremely lively, especially Chenchen, who often gave people a headache when eating at home. At this moment, he was holding Dongpo pork pierced with chopsticks in his left hand and salt and pepper prawns in his right hand, and he wanted to stuff all the dishes into his mouth.

It's not his fault that he behaved like this. It was because his parents immediately started "fighting" after the food was served, each of them buried their heads in the food, without any intention of being humble to him.

Faced with his parents eating so quickly, Chenchen was afraid that if he was a little slower he would have nothing to eat, so he used both hands to speed up his eating.

"Teacher Jiang, your life is so enviable. You can enjoy such delicious food every day. Is your kindergarten still hiring? I want to change my career and work here!"

Chenchen's mother Lin Huiyi ate a lot and only slowed down when she was about 50% full. She said with a smile to Jiang Xinzhuo who was sitting next to her.

Jiang Xinzhuo's mouth was filled with a satisfied smile: "Yes, I also feel very happy working here. Chenchen's mother, if you are really interested in joining us, you can pay attention to our kindergarten's recruitment notice at the beginning of next semester."

"Okay, I'll pay attention to it then."

Lin Huiyi smiled and nodded, then continued eating.
Ten minutes later…

All the parents were very satisfied with the meal, and some were even so full that they could not stand up.

Before leaving, the parents gathered around and asked Liang Yinqiu with a hint of anticipation whether the kindergarten sold "family meal coupons".

When the parents learned that the kindergarten did not sell "family meal coupons", they couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment on their faces.

despite this!

They left the kindergarten reluctantly, still carrying with them the fond memories of this delicious meal... (End of this chapter)
