Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

"Today's recruitment event has come to a successful conclusion. I sincerely thank every participant for coming and waiting patiently. Now, please leave in an orderly manner. May your life path be paved with sunshine and a bright future. I look forward to meeting you again at some point in the future."

After Liang Yinqiu finished speaking gently, the applicants began to leave one after another, moving towards the kindergarten gate one after another.

However!
Just like the old saying goes, “some are happy while others are sad”…

Those who successfully applied for the kitchen helper positions had irrepressible joy on their faces.

For them, being able to work in Doremi’s kitchen is not just about having a job. The most important thing is that they can eat delicious food made by Chef Huang Jun every day!
Even if I have to do some hard work, that’s okay. As long as I can eat delicious food, I’m happy to do anything!

Those applicants who failed to get the job they wanted looked depressed, as if they had suffered a setback, with disappointment and unwillingness intertwined on their faces.

Hey!
The impermanence of this world sometimes makes people feel deeply moved...

Especially when they catch a glimpse of the smug smiles on the faces of those successful applicants, they feel as if their hearts are being scratched by a cat's claws, and resentment rises up.

"Look at those five people, they are so lucky! Those of us who were at the back didn't even see the shadow of the interviewer, and the recruitment ended in such a muddle." A short-haired middle-aged woman muttered angrily, with resentment written all over her face.

"That's right. This is so unfair to those of us who came later! Everyone's qualifications are similar, so why should we be left out of the interview opportunity?" The uncle in the flowered shirt also shook his head repeatedly, very dissatisfied.

"That's right!"

The lady with reddish-brown hair agreed, and then sighed with regret, "It really makes me feel bad. If I had come to apply earlier, I might not have missed this opportunity. I was so stupid that I waited until two o'clock before showing up. Now I really regret it!"

"Yes, yes, do we deserve to be eliminated just because we came a step late? This is too unfair!" The young man finally couldn't hold back and spoke out all his dissatisfaction.

"That's right, where is the fairness in this?"

The people around nodded one after another, and the resonance in their hearts was like a surging tide, surging wave after wave.

These slightly sour remarks were like a breeze, drifting inadvertently into the ears of the five successful applicants, causing the smiles on their faces to freeze in mid-air, and a subtle and complex feeling surged in their hearts.

"What do you mean by good luck? I, Ye Guilan, was able to apply for the job because I sacrificed my lunch break and came early to line up and wait. Why didn't you come earlier? Now that you have been rejected, you come to talk about luck with us. Who gave you the courage?"

Ye Guilan, who had short hair, spoke first, with a hint of pride on her face.

"Indeed, this is clearly the result of our hard work and diligence, and has nothing to do with luck."

Huang Yumei quickly took over the conversation and added humorously at the end: "Luck doesn't want to take the blame!"

Ding Xiuzhen was not to be outdone and interrupted, "I put a lot of effort into this application. I had lunch in a hurry and even gave up my lunch break to rush here. You didn't see my efforts and just said I was lucky. Isn't that a bit unfair to me?"

Wei Baolin also nodded solemnly, saying firmly: "To be honest, success is never easy to come by. We were chosen because of our hard work. Those who complain may not have worked hard enough, and they are jealous of others and put the blame on others."

"Yes, yes, we all worked hard to get this opportunity."

Yang Dazhong also quickly echoed, "You didn't get selected, so you should first look for your own reasons. Have you really taken this application seriously over the past few days?"

Those losers who were filled with resentment in their hearts: "..."

Uh…

Their criticisms are quite reasonable, leaving them speechless to refute a few words...

indeed!

This time, they missed the precious job application opportunity due to carelessness, underestimation of the enemy and arrogance.

But the matter is done, no amount of regret or complaint will be in vain and will only become a laughing stock for others.

Ugh!
They can only pin their hopes on the next job opportunity.

what?
What if it still doesn’t work out next time?

Ok…

Then next time...

In short, they vow not to give up and will persevere until they are successfully hired!
Not only them, but also those applicants who failed to be selected for the cooking assistant tasting session, all have the same belief and determination.

They will come back!

……

In the activity room.

Huang Jun warmly called out to the four people waiting on the side - Zheng Yaohua, Zhao Weiguang, Yu Daqing and Meng Hongzhe: "You guys, Zheng Yaohua, Zhao Weiguang, Yu Daqing, Meng Hongzhe, come with me to the kitchen and show us your skills. I will select two outstanding assistant chefs from among you..."

"Okay, Chef Huang."

Upon hearing this, the four of them were all full of energy and nodded confidently in response. They then followed closely behind leaders such as Huang Jun and Liang Yinqiu, walking step by step.

"Everyone, please wait a moment..."

Huang Jun suddenly stopped and said apologetically: "I have to pick up my daughter."

"It's okay, you go ahead!"

Everyone expressed their understanding and nodded in agreement.

Huang Jun turned and walked towards a corner of the rest area, but he was surprised by the scene in front of him: Qingqing and Weiwei were actually sitting in Chu Qiwen's arms, and the three of them were staring at the mobile phone screens intently, watching the cartoons being played together. On the rest table nearby, there were all kinds of snacks such as chocolates, potato chips, and biscuits piled up like a mountain.

What’s even more hilarious is that Qingqing and Weiwei each had a lollipop in their mouths, looking like they were enjoying themselves to the fullest.

Speechless...

These two little guys are usually not allowed to eat candy, but now they are eating as much as they want while he is not around...

Huang Jun shook his head helplessly, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel that at this moment, Chu Qiwen was more like a caring kindergarten teacher than an accountant.

"Cough cough!"

Huang Jun coughed twice, interrupting the silence.

"ah!"

Chu Qiwen was startled by the sudden sound. She turned her head sharply and saw Huang Jun at a glance. She couldn't help but exclaim softly.

When Qingqing and Weiwei saw that it was their father coming, their hearts skipped a beat.

Ah~
not good!

I was caught by my dad...

The two little guys were like children who had made mistakes and were caught by the teacher. They quickly took the lollipops out of their mouths and hid them behind their bodies. They were afraid of being scolded by their father!
Chu Qiwen also quickly put away her cell phone, stood up and put Qingqing and Weiwei down. A faint blush appeared on her face, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

Huang Jun smiled and said, "Accountant Chu, I'm really sorry to bother you."

“It’s no trouble…”

Chu Qiwen Chu Qiwen waved her hands quickly, her eyes full of tenderness: "Qingqing and Weiwei are both very well behaved!"

Huang Jun reached out and took Qingqing's hand, and said gently: "Qingqing, Weiwei, we have to go back to the kitchen and say goodbye to Aunt Chu!"

"Goodbye Aunt Chu!"

Qingqing and Weiwei responded obediently, with a hint of reluctance in their voices.

Chu Qiwen also seemed a little reluctant to leave: "Qingqing, Weiwei, goodbye, we will play together next time."

"it is good!"

The two little guys nodded obediently in agreement.

Weiwei suddenly remembered the lollipop in her hand. She raised it high and handed it to Huang Jun expectantly, her smart eyes flashing with a cunning light: "Daddy, do you want a lollipop? It's very sweet!"

She did this out of a little cleverness, trying to lure her father onto her "pirate ship" by sharing sweet things with him, so that he would not feel comfortable pursuing the matter of them secretly eating sweets.

Qingqing watched the scene timidly, her little hands unconsciously clutching the corners of her clothes. She was worried and curious. She was worried that her father would blame them, but she was also curious about how her father would deal with Weiwei's "sugar-coated bullet".

If her father accepted it, she would follow suit.

hee hee~
Huang Jun naturally saw all their subtle thoughts, but he kept them in mind and never said anything.

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a little sweet treat once in a while!
He smiled and shook his head, then said to Weiwei gently, "Daddy won't eat it, you two little greedy cats can enjoy it to your heart's content. But remember to rinse your mouth with mouthwash after eating, otherwise cavities will grow in your little teeth, and then you'll have to go to the scary dentist uncle to report."

When Qingqing and Weiwei heard this, the scene in the picture book "Crocodile is Afraid of Dentists" that Huang Jun told them last time immediately emerged in their minds. They couldn't help but shudder and secretly vowed to stay away from the trouble of tooth decay. There was even a moment when they wanted to throw away the lollipops in their hands immediately to protect their teeth from the "torture" of the dentist.

But the tempting sweetness exuded by the lollipop was like magic, making them hesitate and indecisive between "throwing it away" and "eating it".

After an intense but brief inner struggle...

They finally succumbed to the irresistible sweet temptation.

"Dad, don't worry!"

They almost promised in unison: "After we finish eating, we will definitely rinse our mouths and protect our teeth!"

"Okay, Dad believes you can do it!"

Huang Jun smiled warmly at the two of them, then led them slowly towards Liang Yinqiu and her group, saying with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Weiwei smiled sweetly and said playfully, "Oh, uncle, headmaster, we are late. I'm sorry."

Qingqing also plucked up the courage and whispered softly, "Uncles, the headmaster's mother, and all the leaders and aunties, I'm so sorry to have kept you all waiting for so long..."

"It's okay! You are really good and sensible children..."

Yu Daqing and the other applicants shook their heads to show their understanding, and were at the same time touched by the innocent looks of Qingqing and Weiwei.

Qingqing and Weiwei felt a little shy after being praised, and their faces flushed.

"Let's go!"

Huang Jun said softly, and the group continued to move forward and came to the back kitchen.

As soon as you step through the door...

"You four, go change into chef uniforms first..."

Huang Jun made quick arrangements and first led the four applicants to the locker room to change into clean and neat chef uniforms to make full preparations for the upcoming food tasting.

Then, he turned around and arranged Qingqing and Weiwei to sit at a table in the dining area of ​​the cafeteria, and whispered to them: "Dear ones, just sit here and don't run around. Daddy is going to interview those uncles, and will come back to find you after the interview."

"it is good!"

The two little ones nodded in unison, their eyes flashing with trust and reliance on their father: "Daddy, don't worry, Qingqing (Weiwei) will be good and won't run around!"

Aunt Li and Aunt Lin immediately understood what was going on and stepped forward and said, "Chef Huang, don't worry, we are here. We will take good care of the two little guys, so just go about your business."

Huang Jun felt a warm current in his heart. He looked at the two elders gratefully and nodded: "Thank you Aunt Li and Aunt Lin. I feel relieved to have you help take care of me."

"Chef Huang, we are all family, why are you thanking me?"

Aunt Li smiled and waved her hand, "Go ahead, we'll take care of you here!"

Aunt Lin also nodded repeatedly, then sat down next to Qingqing, took out a few candies from her pocket and handed them to Qingqing and Weiwei.

The two little guys looked at Huang Jun.

Seeing that he did not say anything to stop her, she smiled and thanked Aunt Lin: "Thank you, Grandma Lin..."

Huang Jun had also changed into a snow-white chef's uniform at this time and meticulously completed the comprehensive disinfection work.

Afterwards, he led the four neatly dressed and disinfected applicants, as well as leaders such as Liang Yinqiu, into the spacious and bright operating room.

"This is our operation room. It is fully equipped with all kinds of equipment. Next, you will show off your cooking skills and taste the dishes."

Huang Jun introduced enthusiastically, then he looked at Liang Yinqiu, with a smile on his face, and suggested: "Director Liang, how about you choose a dish for everyone to taste?"

Liang Yinqiu thought for a moment, then said, "Let's have a dish called 'Steamed Sea Bass'. This dish is not only a great test of the chef's control over the heat, but also can show the original flavor of the ingredients to the fullest."

Huang Jun frowned slightly, looking embarrassed: "Director Liang, I'm very sorry, the kitchen doesn't have sea bass prepared today, how about we change to another dish?"

Liang Yinqiu felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She really couldn't think of other dishes at the moment, so she handed the decision back to Huang Jun: "In this case, then I'll trouble Chef Huang to make the decision. I really don't know much about kitchen matters."

Huang Jun smiled cheerfully and agreed: "Okay! We have tofu and meat in the kitchen, so why don't we make a dish called 'Stuffed Tofu'? What do you think of this suggestion?"

As he spoke, he looked around, his eyes first falling on Liang Yinqiu, then turning to the four applicants.

The four applicants all nodded in agreement: "Sure, that's fine with us."

Liang Yinqiu also nodded slightly: "I have no objection either."

Huang Jun nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this: "Since no one has any objection, let's get started without further delay!" (End of this chapter)
