Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

Chapter 555 This is the best way of thanking him

With a light "click", Huang Jun gently pulled open the latch of the refrigerator. Along with the slight sound of refrigeration air flow, he took out a piece of high-quality butter from the depths of the refrigerator, placed it in the preheated wok, and prepared to make the next dessert - nougat.

As the butter in the pot slowly melted and turned into a pool of golden liquid, Huang Jun gently poured the round marshmallows into this golden "ocean".

Then, he turned the heat down to low and let the marshmallows melt slowly in the pot...

"Meow~"

As a gentle cat's meow softly echoed in the air, Orange's cat shadow "whoosh" rushed to Huang Jun's front, and its two children - Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie followed closely behind, looking around expectantly.

"Hey, you smell the aroma and you're hungry, right?"

Huang Jun smiled and gently used his feet to push away the oranges under his feet to avoid accidentally stepping on them while making desserts. At the same time, he seriously added: "But you can't eat these desserts!"

Who says cats have more fragile stomachs and more sensitive kidneys?
Sweets are an absolute no-no for them.

Also, due to genetics, cats can't really taste sweetness, and their gastrointestinal systems are better suited to digesting animal protein and some vegetables.

Once sweets are consumed, they will not only cause indigestion, but long-term or excessive consumption may also lead to health problems such as diabetes.

It is okay for humans to get diabetes from eating sweets, after all, tasting sweets can only satisfy temporary appetite.

But what about cats?

They can't enjoy the sweetness at all. If they develop diabetes because of this, it would be a shame...

"Meow~"

Orange was not willing to give in and cried out again, as if in protest.

But Huang Jun just smiled and shook his head, ignoring it, and turned to Qingqing and Weiwei who had just followed and instructed: "Qingqing, Weiwei, take them out to play, don't let them disturb Daddy from making desserts."

"Okay, Daddy!"

Qingqing and Weiwei responded positively to Huang Jun's instructions and immediately took action, surrounding the Orange family of three on the left and right, and like two little guides, they tried to guide them to the kitchen door while saying, "Orange, meat buns, pumpkin cakes, let's not disturb daddy making desserts. Let's go out and play for a while. When daddy has finished making desserts, we'll come back to eat, okay?"

such a pity…

They still stood there, curiosity and reluctance flashing in their round eyes, staring at Qingqing and Weiwei, as if in silent protest.

Especially Orange, it suddenly "meowed" at the two of them, with a bit of coquettishness in its voice, and seemed to be teasing: Humph, women's mouths are deceiving, your father just said that sweets are not allowed to be touched by us cats.

See this scene!

Qingqing and Weiwei looked at each other and saw each other's helplessness in each other's eyes.

But they won't spoil them, so they take a more direct approach and just take them away...

But the Orange family of three is not light in weight now.

Especially the orange, its plump body makes Qingqing a little tired.

Weiwei held a meat bun in one hand and a pumpkin pie in the other. Although she tried to be gentle, the little ones seemed to feel the temptation of being taken away from the dessert and began to struggle.

This made Weiwei, who was already struggling, even more overwhelmed.

So...

They changed their strategy and directly "dragged" the Orange family of three out of the kitchen, closing the kitchen door tightly to prevent them from sneaking in again and disturbing their father's cooking.

Huang Jun smiled slightly upon seeing this and continued to concentrate on making the nougat in his hands.

He patiently stirred the marshmallows and butter in the pot until they were completely combined and formed a smooth and creamy texture.

He sprinkled a proper amount of milk powder into the pot and stirred it evenly again, allowing the milky aroma and sweetness to intertwine and blend perfectly, presenting an attractive color and aroma.

With a soft "puff" sound, he put out the fire.

He deftly picked up the cooked peanut kernels and almond kernels that had been prepared long ago, and scattered them into the pot like "fairies scattering flowers". Then he picked up the spatula again and stirred the delicious food in the pot evenly.

When everything was blended just right, he poured the fragrant mixture into a clean baking tray, smoothed the surface lightly with a spatula, and let it cool naturally aside.

After it cools and solidifies, cut it into bite-sized pieces to make everyone's favorite nougat.

Because marshmallow and milk powder are used as the main ingredients, the nougat produced has a denser and more delicate taste than the finished products purchased on the market, so people don’t have to worry about the discomfort of irritating their teeth when tasting it.

After completing the production of nougat, Huang Jun seamlessly started to prepare snowflake crisps. Although the production processes of the two are similar, they each have their own unique flavors.

The key to making snowflake crisps is to increase the amount of milk powder, which can make the texture of the finished product more solid.

In terms of the choice of raw materials, just replace the nuts in nougat with crispy and delicious cookies.

Pour the mixed ingredients into a flat-bottomed container, wait for it to cool and solidify, then cut into small, palatable pieces to make delicious snowflake crisps.

When eating, the soft and crispy textures dance on the tip of your tongue, and the milky and sweet flavors permeate each other, making people intoxicated. It is definitely a feast for the taste buds.

After two hours of hard work, Huang Jun successfully made three desserts with their own unique characteristics. He felt a great sense of accomplishment and then plunged into the busy work of tidying up the stove.

Qingqing and Weiwei were sitting at the kitchen door, staring at the three members of Orange's family.

Perhaps because the sweet smell in the air was too tempting, Orange showed an unprecedented desire for the desserts in the kitchen. He tried to pry open the door several times in an attempt to get in and taste the delicious food. As a result, the meat buns and pumpkin pie were also eager to try and followed suit.

Faced with this "crisis", Qingqing and Weiwei naturally had to take action. They each brought a small chair, sat at the kitchen door, and acted as "gatekeepers."

So...

The two little men and one big and two small cats were confronting each other.

"Meow~"

Orange Orange suddenly stood up, and angrily patted the legs of Qingqing and Weiwei with his front paws. He kept meowing, and his ears swung back, making an attacking posture like airplane ears.

At this moment, even though Qingqing and Weiwei knew nothing about the cat language, they could still read Orange's dissatisfaction and protest from his actions and expressions.

"Ah, Orange, didn't I tell you that when daddy makes dessert, I'll let you eat it, why didn't you listen to my advice?"

Weiwei's little face was almost wrinkled into a cute little bun because of anxiety. She blinked her big eyes, trying to convince this stubborn fat cat with her eyes.

Qingqing reached out and patted Orange's head, soothing her in a baby voice: "Orange, be good. You are your mother. You have to set a good example for Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie. You can't be so willful and naughty!"

What a pity, what a pity...

Orange didn't listen at all and still maintained his original attacking posture, meowing at Qingqing and Weiwei, as if saying: I won't listen, unless your father lets me eat the dessert he made.

Just then.

Huang Jun opened the kitchen door and shouted to Orange, "Orange, you little guys can't eat sweets, and you can't taste anything, so why are you joining in the fun here?"

"Meow~"

It seemed as if Orange understood. His ears, which had been erected nervously, gradually relaxed and his cry became gentle and delicate, completely different from his previous aggressive and aggressive look.

Tsk.

This is blood suppression!

Ugh…

The bloodline of the divine special cat is suppressed...

This is clearly the majestic suppression of a poop scooper!
Huang Jun smiled and continued to comfort her gently: "Orange, don't be sad. I will prepare a delicious meal for your family tonight."

After getting the response, Orange rubbed Huang Jun's trouser leg with its little head and meowed softly.

Licking cats reveals their true nature...

Huang Jun ignored it and turned to the two little guys and said gently: "Come, Qingqing, Weiwei, let daddy wipe your hands first, and try the shaqima made by daddy to see how it tastes..."

As he spoke, he picked up a soft towel, carefully wiped the hands of the two little ones, and then handed two small pieces of shachima to them.

As soon as Qingqing and Weiwei tasted it, their eyes lit up instantly, and their faces were filled with happy smiles: "Wow, it's delicious! It's sweet, the shachima made by dad is great!" "It's good as long as it tastes good!"

Huang Jun's heart was filled with sweetness, and he immediately suggested: "How about we go to Grandpa Jiang's house now and give these desserts to Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang to try?"

"Okay!"

Qingqing and Weiwei nodded happily in agreement.

Seeing that the children were happy, Huang Jun picked up the packed desserts, took them out of the house, and took the elevator down to the underground garage.

They got into the familiar Wuling car, started the engine, and drove to the Jinyuan community in their memory.

Not long after, their car slowly stopped at the gate of the community. After politely registering with the security guard, they continued to drive slowly into the community.

While driving along the road, Weiwei's eyes keenly caught Uncle Jiang playing chess with his neighbor under a big tree.

She quickly rolled down the window and shouted with joy, "Grandpa Jiang, Grandpa Jiang, we are here!"

Uncle Jiang looked up when he heard the voice and followed the direction of the sound. He instantly caught sight of Weiwei waving at him excitedly.

All of a sudden...

His slightly cloudy eyes suddenly shone with light, his face was filled with smiles, and he responded kindly: "Oh, it's Weiwei, how come you have time to come here today?"

Weiwei answered happily, "Our kindergarten had winter vacation yesterday, so Daddy brought me and my sister to come and see you and Grandma Jiang!"

"Haha, that's great. Grandpa Jiang will be here right away." Grandpa Jiang responded with a smile.

Afterwards, he said to his chess friends with full of apology: "Sorry, my friends, I have guests at home, so I have to leave first. Let's play chess together another day!"

After saying that, he stood up, waved goodbye to them, and then walked towards Huang Jun's car with steady steps.

"Uncle Jiang, how are you doing recently?"

After Huang Jun parked the car steadily, he carried Qingqing and Weiwei out of the car and greeted Uncle Jiang with a smile on his face.

"Very good, very good!"

Uncle Jiang responded cheerfully, "You guys should go upstairs and have a rest. Your Aunt Jiang is waiting for you at home. She has been talking about you a lot recently. Who would have thought that the person who spoke the truth would appear. She must be so happy to see you..."

After saying that, Uncle Jiang led Qingqing and Weiwei and walked in front to lead the way.

Huang Jun picked up the dessert bag and followed closely behind.

Uncle Jiang took a glance at the gift in his hand and pretended to blame him, "Hey, Xiaojun, didn't I tell you a long time ago that it's good to come to my house and chat, there's no need to spend money to buy anything. Why are you so disobedient and bring so many good things here? You should take these back and see if you can return them..."

"Uncle Jiang, this time is different. This is not a purchased dessert. I made it myself. It is one-of-a-kind and cannot be returned..."

Huang Jun answered with a smile, and then pretended to be embarrassed and said: "If you really don't want to accept it, then I can only take it back and eat it myself with reluctance."

As he said this, he pretended to turn around and put the dessert back into the car.

"Oh, you did it..."

Uncle Jiang was stunned for a moment, then a smile of surprise and reluctance blossomed on his face, and he quickly reached out and took the dessert: "Since you made it yourself, I have to taste it carefully..."

Sample~
I know you can't bear it...

Huang Jun smiled proudly.

Grandpa Jiang came to the door of his house briskly, carrying desserts. As soon as he entered the door, he called out, "Old lady, come quickly. Xiaojun and his family are here."

"Oh, Xiaojun and the others are here... Come on, come in and sit down."

When Aunt Jiang heard this, she hurried out from the living room with joy, took Qingqing and Weiwei's hands lovingly, and enthusiastically led Huang Jun into the living room to sit down.

Then, her eyes inadvertently caught the cakes in Grandpa Jiang's hand, and she immediately understood something. She said with a hint of anger: "This must have been bought by Xiaojun? Old man, why didn't you stop him from buying it, and brought it up so eagerly..."

"Haha, this is a snack made by Xiaojun himself. How can I bear to let him take it back?" Grandpa Jiang responded with a smile.

Aunt Jiang, who had been coveting Huang Jun's craftsmanship for a long time, was reluctant to let Huang Jun take them back when she heard that these gifts were made by Huang Jun himself, so she gladly accepted every gift with a smile.

"Xiaojun, come on, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

Aunt Jiang made tea for Huang Jun, and gave snacks to Qingqing and Weiwei. Then she held Qingqing and Weiwei's hands, her eyes filled with love and affection: "Oh, look at our Qingqing and Weiwei, they are getting more and more beautiful."

Compared to the past, Qingqing and Weiwei now have rounder cheeks, rosier complexions, and are even more lovable.

Qingqing and Weiwei snuggled up to Aunt Jiang, one on each side. They felt they were beautiful too, and excitedly shared the good news that they had won the "Good Child" certificate, which made Aunt Jiang and Uncle Jiang smile so hard that they couldn't stop, and they kept praising them for being amazing.

Uncle Jiang turned to look at Huang Jun and asked with concern: "Xiaojun, has your work been going well recently? Are you busy?"

Huang Jun smiled and replied, "This semester is relatively easy, but the kindergarten will expand its enrollment next year, so I guess it will be a little busier then."

Aunt Jiang couldn't help but worry about Huang Jun's burden when she heard this: "This way, your workload will be greatly increased. Will your salary be increased accordingly?"

Huang Jun shook his head, but said with a satisfied smile: "The salary has not changed, but the director gave me 20% of the shares of the kindergarten, and Qingqing and Weiwei's tuition, meals and other miscellaneous fees are all waived. So, it can be regarded as another form of salary increase..."

Aunt Jiang and Uncle Jiang were also happy for him after hearing this.

Aunt Jiang said with emotion: "This director is really discerning and can appreciate talent. Xiaojun, you must continue to work hard and never let people down for their trust and expectations of you."

Uncle Jiang also echoed, "Your Aunt Jiang and I have always been optimistic about you. We believe that as long as you are down-to-earth and work hard, you will definitely achieve great things in the future. Now that we see that you have achieved such results, we are also very pleased."

Faced with the two elders' chattering, Huang Jun did not feel the slightest bit of impatience, his heart was filled with only warmth and gratitude.

It is his and his two children's luck to meet such kind old people like them.

He smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard. Besides, I also want to give Qingqing and Weiwei a better future so that they can grow up in a better environment."

"Too!"

Aunt Jiang nodded, paused, and continued: "Now that your job is stable, it would be great if you could find someone who can truly treat Qingqing and Weiwei, and live a peaceful life together."

Huang Jun looked at Qingqing and Weiwei who were eating chocolates, and smiled bitterly: "This matter still depends on fate..."

Finally, he changed the subject: "Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, these are the shaqi ma, snowflake crisps and nougat that I made by myself. Please try them and see if they suit your taste..."

"Xiaojun, the food you made must taste great and must suit our taste..."

Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang had wanted to try it for a long time, but they were too busy entertaining them to take care of it. Now, after hearing what Huang Jun said, they immediately opened the package and invited Huang Jun and his family of three to eat together.

After tasting them one by one, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang nodded repeatedly with satisfaction: "Well, the taste is really amazing! It is much better than those shaqima, snowflake crisps and nougat sold in the supermarket. Xiaojun, I think your cooking skills are getting better and better."

Huang Jun smiled and said, "As long as you like it, I will try to make some snacks with other flavors next time to change your taste."

"That's a good feeling..."

Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang readily agreed, but then they showed some worry, fearing that Huang Jun would be too tired: "But, Xiaojun, don't do it specially when you are busy at work. Also, don't do too much at one time, so as not to tire yourself out."

After chatting for a while, Uncle Jiang looked out the window and saw that the sky was gradually getting dark. He turned to Aunt Jiang and said, "Old lady, go to the market and buy some fresh vegetables. We have to entertain Xiaojun's family today."

After saying that, he warmly invited Huang Jun and his family to stay for dinner.

Huang Jun originally had no intention of staying for dinner, and Xianza naturally did not want to add extra burden to the two elders, so he declined the kindness: "Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, please stop working. We have something else to do today, so we will not stay for dinner. Next time, I will definitely bring Qingqing and Weiwei over, and we will have a lively meal together again."

Seeing that Huang Jun was determined to do so, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Before leaving, Aunt Jiang held Qingqing and Weiwei's hands tightly, her eyes full of reluctance: "Qingqing, Weiwei, please come and visit us often when you are free. Grandpa and grandma will always be waiting for you."

"Yes, Grandma Jiang, I understand!"

Qingqing and Weiwei nodded obediently.

Huang Jun solemnly promised the two elders: "Aunt Jiang, don't worry, as long as I am free, I will definitely bring the children to visit you."

This was the best way he could express his gratitude.
