Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

"Come on, come on, don't be polite, pick up your chopsticks and start eating..."

Liang Yinqiu greeted everyone present warmly. At the same time, she gracefully picked up the soup spoon, gently scooped up a few spoonfuls of clear soup from the bowl of well-made and attractively colored boiled cabbage on the table, and carefully picked up a piece of tender white cabbage stalk and gently put it into the soup bowl.

Afterwards, Liang Yinqiu stood up, holding the bowl of soup full of love, and handed it to Huang Jun with a smile.

Liu Shiwei, who was sitting next to Huang Jun, couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation in his heart, subconsciously thinking that this bowl of soup was prepared for him.

After all, as a significant investor in Dolaimi Kindergarten, commonly known as the "money sponsor", he has devoted a lot of effort and funds to the construction and development of the kindergarten. In his opinion, such courtesy is justified.

Just as he was about to reach out to take it, secretly admiring Liang Yinqiu's attentiveness and thoughtfulness...

However, at this moment...

Liang Yinqiu smiled at Huang Jun and said gently, "Chef Huang, you've worked really hard today. Come, let me give you the first bowl of soup to try."

This time.

Liu Shiwei slowly raised his hand, which suddenly froze in the air. The expectation on his face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a slightly self-deprecating smile that gently outlined the corner of his mouth.

Uh……

Obviously, he was just being sentimental...

But then again, as Brother Huang is the "strong support" of Dolami Kindergarten, it is understandable that Liang Yinqiu gives him priority in serving soup.

What's more, Brother Huang did take the trouble to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner for all the staff in the park today, so it is only natural for Director Liang to "borrow flowers to offer to Buddha" to express his gratitude.

He immediately withdrew his hand and patted his sleeves lightly, trying to brush away the unnecessary expectations and sudden embarrassment.

Then, he looked at Huang Jun with an understanding look on his face: "Brother Huang, you are really blessed. It is not an honor for everyone to have Liang Yinqiu personally scoop soup for you!"

Yoho~
There seems to be a sour smell in the air!

Huang Jun took the steaming bowl of soup with a smile and cast a gentle look of gratitude to Liang Yinqiu. At the same time, he also keenly caught the jealousy in Liu Shiwei's words, so he said to Liu Shiwei: "Brother Liu, how about you drink this bowl of soup first..."

Liu Shiwei waved his hands and said with a smile, "You absolutely can't do that! You can't do that! This is specially poured for you by Director Liang. If I drink it rashly, won't she blame me for not knowing the rules and snatching this special care?"

As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at Liang Yinqiu.

"Boss Liu, you're talking as if I'm a biased headmaster."

Liang Yinqiu listened at the side, with a gentle smile in her eyes, and continued in a soft voice: "Actually, everyone present has a share, but today Chef Huang really worked tirelessly to prepare such delicious dishes for everyone, so it is only right that he should drink first."

As she spoke, she picked up the soup spoon and served a bowl to everyone present.

"Thank you, Director Liang..."

Liu Shiwei took the bowl with a smile on his face, then picked up the spoon in a gentle and elegant manner, slowly scooped up a spoonful of crystal clear soup, gently blew away the heat on it, and then leisurely put it into his mouth.

When the soup touches the tip of your tongue for the first time, an indescribable deliciousness blooms gently in your mouth like the dawn.

Its beauty does not come from the accumulation of complicated seasonings, but from its pure and flawless delicacy and elegance, just like the purest gift from nature.

The soup slides across the tip of your tongue like silk, bringing a warm and layered deliciousness, and every drop contains rich flavor.

The essence of the soup is perfectly absorbed by the cabbage, making the cabbage taste extremely soft, as if it would melt with a light sip, yet it retains a subtle crispness in this extreme tenderness, like a ray of coolness in the summer breeze, refreshing.

Every bite of cabbage seems to be telling of the sweetness and freshness of nature. While tasting it, people can not only feel the purity and beauty of the food itself, but also experience a feeling of transcending daily trivialities and immersing themselves in tranquility and beauty.

"Well, it's perfect!"

Liu Shiwei exclaimed with a look of surprise and satisfaction: "This is more authentic than what I tasted in the old Sichuan private restaurant! This is definitely the best boiled cabbage I have ever eaten."

He was immersed in the delicious taste and continued, "The soup is clear and transparent, with a slightly yellowish color. The cabbage is tender yellow with a hint of green. It is soft and delicious, with the unique sweetness of cabbage. It is indeed the best dish."

Upon hearing this, the teachers present all picked up their spoons, scooped up a spoonful of the seemingly plain soup, and put it into their mouths.

next second...

Their eyes suddenly lit up with brilliance, as if they had discovered a new world.

"Wow...Oh my god, this boiled cabbage is so delicious!"

After taking a sip of the clear soup, Xie Jianing couldn't help but shout out excitedly, her words full of indescribable admiration for the dish, as if all the words of praise were not enough to describe the deliciousness of the soup.

Jiang Xinzhuo nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Indeed, this boiled cabbage is really as good as its reputation... It looks ordinary, but it's actually full of wonders. It's so delicious that my eyebrows are about to fall off!"

Zheng Yujia also praised it, "Yes, yes, the soup is rich and clear, just like boiled water, but it tastes refreshing and delicious. At first glance, the finished dish looks like a cabbage heart soaked in water, without even a drop of oil, but the taste is so wonderful."

Wei Siyi also gave a thumbs up and praised repeatedly: "Yes, yes, there is really not a single drop of oil, but when you eat it, the refreshing and delicious feeling is unforgettable. Thanks to Chef Huang, I finally got to taste this legendary boiled cabbage."

Cai Jingxian also said with great emotion: "It is no exaggeration to say that this is definitely the most delicious and unforgettable New Year's Eve dinner I have ever eaten."

At this time, while Huang Jun was taking good care of Qingqing and Weiwei, he heard people praising the dishes. He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and said softly, "As long as you like it, eat more."

After saying that, he also tasted a bite of the boiled cabbage he made himself.

To be honest, if it weren't for its stunning appearance and elegant presentation, this dish would only be considered mediocre in terms of taste.

Not that amazing!

It’s not that it tastes bad, but compared to its status as a famous dish, its taste seems a bit ordinary and fails to fully match its reputation.

The stock is indeed delicious, but it is not much different from other stocks.

The umami and flavor were just right, but nothing special.

As for the cabbage part, because it uses cabbage stalks and is cooked in a pot, it has a slightly crispy texture with some sweet aftertaste.

But other than that, there seems to be nothing else special about this dish.

It neither has the delicate chicken texture of chicken tofu pudding, nor the delicate liver paste of goose liver in liver paste soup. Its single taste can easily make people feel sick of it.

Huang Jun secretly speculated that perhaps the people's rave reviews for this boiled cabbage dish were more due to its long-standing reputation and the "filter" effect brought about by the eye-catching visual shock when it was served on the table.

However, considering that each person only tasted a little soup and a piece of cabbage, the taste was naturally concentrated and distinct with such a portion, which was very impressive.

With the richness of the broth and the freshness of the cabbage intertwined, every bite seems to be an exquisite comfort to the taste buds. Although it may be a bit monotonous as a whole, its advantages are cleverly magnified in such a small portion.

Huang Jun looked at everyone's satisfied expressions and felt a little relieved.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of its smallness and exquisiteness that this dish has left a deep impression in everyone's mind.

After all, the charm of food sometimes lies not only in its taste, but also in the surprise and touch it brings, as well as the warmth and happiness when sharing it with others.

Well, how should I put it, eat less and enjoy more!
He smiled and asked his two precious daughters: "Qingqing, Weiwei, do you want to eat the nine-turn large intestine?"

Qingqing and Weiwei looked puzzled. After looking at each other, they asked innocently, "Dad, is the Nine-Turn Large Intestine the food that is arranged beautifully like a flower?" Huang Jun was startled at first, then smiled knowingly and nodded gently, "Yes, that's it."

Qingqing and Weiwei answered in unison, "Daddy, then we want one!"

"And me, daddy, I want to try it too..."

Liu Ruihan also couldn't wait to express his wish.

Liu Shiwei listened from the side with mixed feelings and couldn't help but smile bitterly: he was clearly sitting next to the little girl, but she made a request to Huang Jun, her godfather, first.

Ugh!
It seems that in the world of children, with the love of their godfather, even their biological father has to stand aside temporarily.

That’s all!

A child’s happiness and thoughtfulness are the most precious, as long as she likes it!
But then he thought again, and remembered that Liu Ruihan didn't like pig intestines in the past, so he gently reminded her: "Hanhan, don't you always dislike eating pig intestines? Why..."

Liu Ruihan blinked his bright eyes and answered happily, "Yes, but as long as it is made from dried baba, I am willing to try it, even if it is large intestine which I don't usually like to eat. Because food made from dried baba looks so tempting and beautiful, I really want to taste it..."

Got it!
Understood!
Whatever your godfather cooks, it’s your favorite, right?!
As for the dishes that your father from "Daming Lakeside" used to make specially for you, you have no interest at all, right?!
When he thought of this, Liu Shiwei's mood became complicated, with mixed feelings that were hard to describe.

So...

He picked up a piece of red, juicy large intestine and put it into his mouth, trying to use this delicacy to soothe his slightly troubled mood.

As soon as you take a sip, the sour and refreshing taste blooms in your mouth first. The sourness is just right, neither too irritating nor bland.

Then, the sweetness of white sugar came quietly, interweaving with the sour taste, sparking a different taste spark that shocked Liu Shiwei.

The taste of this nine-turn large intestine is so authentic!
It’s not that the large intestine retains the original materials, but its sweet and sour taste is very consistent with the characteristics of Shandong cuisine, and even brings it out to the fullest.

After the interweaving of sour and sweet, a hint of bitterness quietly emerges, but is quickly covered by the spiciness of pepper. Finally, the salty and fragrant background slowly emerges.

Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, these five flavors are like a microcosm of life. Every bite of the nine-turn large intestine is like tasting the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors of life.

In addition to these basic flavors, there is also the mellow aroma of the pig intestine itself, the numbing aroma of pepper oil, and the refreshing aroma of scallions and ginger. These aromas are perfectly blended in a short piece of large intestine, forming more than ten distinct layers of aroma, but there is no feeling of conflict at all.

Let’s talk about the taste. The outer layer is oily and smooth, while the inside is soft and elastic. When you chew it, the full taste and slightly chewy outer skin will instantly make you immersed in this wonderful taste and forget all the troubles in the world.

This nine-turn large intestine is really an intoxicating delicacy!
No, no!
It’s mainly because Huang Jun did a good job!

After he put the nine-turn large intestine into his mouth, he picked up a piece of intestine and put it into his mouth.

Compared with the full and tender texture of large intestine, the intestine has a different flavor.

The intestines are more resilient and have distinct layers. The texture and taste of each of the four layers change subtly from the outside to the inside. The deeper you go inside, the taste of the seasoning gradually fades, while the mellow aroma of the large intestine itself becomes more intense.

Furthermore, compared with the large intestine, the taste of the intestine is more delicate and tender.

Ah!
Still perfect...

Just as Liu Shiwei was deeply intoxicated by the incomparable deliciousness of the Nine-Turn Large Intestine, he suddenly heard his precious daughter Hanhan's joyful praise: "This is so delicious! The sausage made by Gan Baba is really delicious, Gan Baba, you are so great..."

As she spoke, she innocently gave Huang Jun two thumbs up, her face full of admiration and love for Huang Jun.

At the same time, Qingqing and Weiwei followed closely behind, gave thumbs up, and shouted in unison: "Daddy, great, the sausages are super delicious, and the soups and vegetables are delicious too!"

There is no chef who doesn't like to be praised by others, especially the innocent praise from children, which makes him feel even more happy. He looked at Liu Ruihan happily and said, "Hanhan likes the nine-turn large intestine so much. Then when you have time, come to my house with your parents, and I will make some more for you. After you eat, you can play with Qingqing and Weiwei."

After hearing this, Hanhan was so happy that she almost jumped up from her seat. She responded sweetly: "Thank you, Daddy. You are really the best person in the world!"

Liu Shiwei looked at his daughter, whose heart and eyes were filled with thoughts of Huang Jun, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.

That's right.

His mood, which had just been slightly relieved by the delicious food, suddenly became heavy again because of his daughter's "forgetful" behavior.

But on second thought, Liu Shiwei felt a little relieved.

After all, the daughter can get Huang Jun's promise and will be able to taste the delicious food made by Huang Jun in the near future. Isn't this a good thing?

Thinking about it this way...

His mood improved a lot!
He smiled and asked, "Brother Huang, do you have any plans for the holiday? Is there any place you want to go?"

Huang Jun shook his head: "I haven't had time to think about this yet!"

Liu Shiwei continued, "My company will be on holiday in a few days, so I plan to take Hanhan and Xueqian to a resort to relax. Why don't you bring Qingqing and Weiwei along as well?"

"Yeah, let's do it together!"

Liu Ruihan agreed excitedly, then turned to Qingqing and Weiwei and asked, "Qingqing, Weiwei, how about we go to the resort together?"

"What is a resort? Is there anything fun to do there?" Qingqing and Weiwei blinked curiously.

Liu Ruihan enumerated them one by one: "There are so many fun things to do. You can play games, swim, sing, and there is also a greenhouse picking garden, a glass flower house, and you can also take a hot spring bath..."

"Oh……"

There was curiosity and excitement in Qingqing and Weiwei's eyes, but they did not answer immediately. Instead, they turned to Huang Jun and waited for his opinion.

Huang Jun asked gently: "Do you want to go?"

Qingqing and Weiwei nodded without hesitation and said in unison: "Yes!"

"Okay, then we'll go together."

Huang Jun smiled, turned to Liu Shiwei and said, "Brother Liu, is the resort you mentioned close?"

"Yes, it's very close, just within our city, about an hour's drive away. I'll send you the detailed address later, but for the sake of convenience, how about I pick you up directly when the time comes? Now, let's eat the food first..."

Liu Shiwei saw that everyone was eating, and was afraid that he would be forced to eat less if he kept talking, so he quickly changed the subject and continued to join in the meal.

See this scene.

Huang Jun said no more and continued to enjoy the food while carefully picking up food for the three children.

Many people in the park noticed their conversation and became curious, wondering whether they should ask Liu Shiwei for the specific address of the resort so that they could meet him by chance.

Of course, they continued to eat and enjoy the delicious food.

For a while…

The only sounds left in the dining area of ​​the cafeteria were the sounds of chewing and the slight clatter of cutlery… (End of this chapter)
