Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

"Chef Huang, Director Liang, it's getting late and you're still busy. Since there's nothing else I can help with, I'll go back first. I'll report in on time tomorrow~"

"Director Liang, Huang Jun, and all the leaders present, thank you for your hard work in the food tasting this afternoon. See you tomorrow. Bye~"

"Chef Huang, Director Liang, see you tomorrow. I will definitely report in on time..."

"See you tomorrow, Chef Huang, Director Liang..."

Zheng Yaohua and the other four waved goodbye to Huang Jun, Liang Yinqiu and others at the same time, then walked out of the kitchen one after another and headed towards the kindergarten gate.

"Hi! The four of you, are you done with the food tasting?"

Uncle Li noticed the four of them early on. When they approached, he stood up, opened the garden gate, and asked with a smile on his face, "You all look so happy. Did you pass the interview?"

but…

Then I thought again, isn’t the garden only planning to hire two assistant cooks?

Then the problem is coming!

Which two were admitted?
Who are the two who were eliminated again?"

Before he could even ask his doubts, he heard the four of them answer cheerfully, "Yes! Uncle, thanks to you, we will be the kitchen assistants in the big family of Dorami Kindergarten in the future. We will be colleagues in the future. Please take care of us."

Uncle Li was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "How come all four of you have successfully become assistant chefs? If I remember correctly, the garden originally only planned to recruit two assistant chefs, right?"

Zhao Weiguang explained with a smile: "Indeed, there were only two places originally. But Lao Yu and I were unwilling to miss this opportunity, so we went to find Director Liang and Chef Huang to plead for mercy. Unexpectedly, they made an exception and gave us a chance."

Yu Daqing also hurriedly added: "Yes, we were not selected at first, but we didn't want to leave just like that. After all, we came here to apply for the assistant chef position just to learn from Chef Huang's cooking skills. So we took the initiative to offer to reduce our salary and asked them to give us a chance to learn. I didn't expect Director Liang to be so understanding and actually agreed."

After hearing this, Uncle Li couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

What a cruel person!
In order to stay and study, I was willing to reduce my salary.

But having said that, Chef Huang’s cooking skills are indeed extraordinary and worth your investment.

He smiled cheerfully: "Oh, well, then you must seize this opportunity. You will definitely learn a lot of real skills by following Chef Huang."

"Yeah, we think so too!" Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang smiled at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and then continued: "It's getting late today. When we are free, we will definitely treat you to a drink."

Zheng Yaohua and Meng Hongze on the side also nodded in agreement, with sincere smiles on their faces: "Yes, Uncle Li, we will definitely treat you to a drink to celebrate someday."

When these words fell into Uncle Li's ears, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a gratified smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He laughed and said, "Haha, good! Then I'll wait. You young people are hardworking and determined, and I am happy to see it. Work hard, and the future is promising!"

"it is good!"

The four of them answered in unison.

"See you tomorrow then!"

Uncle Li waved goodbye to them, and the four of them nodded in response, then turned and walked out of the garden gate.

Once out of the garden...

Zheng Yaohua asked politely and enthusiastically: "What are your plans for the three of you? Do you need me to give you a ride?"

Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang exchanged a knowing smile and declined Zheng Yaohua's kindness with gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness. We plan to take a taxi back by ourselves. It's very convenient."

"Okay, be careful on the road, and see you tomorrow!" Zheng Yaohua laughed heartily upon hearing this, and then turned to Meng Hongze and asked, "Xiao Meng, what about you? Do you need my help?"

Meng Hongze smiled and shook his head, saying, "Thank you, Brother Zheng, but I drove here today."

As he spoke, he lightly pressed the button on the car key.

At this moment...

The headlights of a Porsche suddenly lit up, like a meteor in the night sky, instantly attracting the attention of Zheng Yaohua, Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang.

I'll go~
Am I seeing things?
Is that a sports car?

It looks like a Porsche 911!
hiss~
This guy Meng Hongze is so rich that he can drive a luxury car at such a young age?

It seems that he has a wealthy family...

I guess he should be a rich second generation? !
This time.

A subtle ripple arose in the hearts of Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang.

I originally thought that we were all ordinary people working hard for our dreams and lives under the same sky, but I didn't expect that Meng Hongze was the nobleman who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and stood on the top of "Rome" since he was a child.

anyway.

Since Meng Hongze already has such a huge wealth, why did he choose to come to Dolaimi Kindergarten and apply for this ordinary kitchen assistant job?

Is it to experience the life of ordinary people and find a different kind of fun?

Or is it because of your love for cooking that you want to learn the exquisite culinary skills from Chef Huang?

They were more inclined to believe the latter, thinking that Meng Hongze, like them, came here for Chef Huang's admirable cooking skills.

This common pursuit of culinary art quietly created a subtle resonance between them. At the same time, they felt that Meng Hongze was not one of those rich second-generation dandies who only knew how to enjoy himself. He had his own pursuits and dreams.

Zheng Yaohua, who was standing by, looked between his humble Audi A4 and Meng Hongze's dazzling Porsche 911. His original sense of self-satisfaction instantly disappeared without a trace, and he felt that the clown was actually himself...

Hey!
Life...

It's amazing.

Some people are born in Rome, while others are born to be cattle and horses!

Hey!
Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it.

As long as you have Rome in your heart, wherever you are is Rome...

He sighed helplessly and silently comforted himself in his heart.

Then, he forced a smile and said to Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang, "Okay, I'll go first, see you tomorrow!"

After saying this, he turned and walked towards his Audi A4, started the engine, and slowly drove away.

"See you tomorrow, brothers."

At the same time, Meng Hongze, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the Porsche, also waved goodbye to the three of them, then slowly drove out of the parking lot of the Doraemi Kindergarten and headed towards home...

along the way.

Meng Hongze was in a particularly good mood and couldn't wait to tell his family the news.

Soon after…

His car was parked steadily in front of an elegant villa in an upscale community.

After parking the car, Meng Hongze stepped into the house...

My mother Wang Yuping's figure was swaying in the kitchen.

Meng Hongze skillfully changed into slippers at the entrance, and then shouted loudly towards the kitchen: "Mom, I'm back."

In the living room, Meng Jianglin held the newspaper in his hand, raised his eyes from the lines, looked at his son, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hongze, you're back."

At the same time, Grandpa Meng also pulled himself out of the TV program and called out in a loving tone: "Xiaozhe is back..."

"Hey...Dad! Grandpa!"

After Meng Hongze greeted everyone cordially, he hurried into the restaurant and poured himself a glass of water, drinking it all in one gulp, as if he wanted to wash away all his fatigue with the water. At this time, Wang Yuping walked out of the kitchen with a plate of washed fruits in her hands. Her eyes met her son, and her face was instantly filled with confusion and concern: "Son, where have you been all afternoon? Why didn't I see you at home?"

Meng Hongze put down the water cup, a mischievous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he deliberately dragged out the tone to whet the appetite: "Mom, guess it."

The main focus is on one skin and one skin, which is healthier...

"I really can't guess it!"

Wang Yuping pretended to be angry, but her voice was full of pampering and indulgence.

"Oh my god, just make a random guess." Meng Hongze continued to display his entertaining skills.

"I won't. Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't want to tell me, forget it..."

Wang Yuping pretended to be serious, but her face showed an expression of pampering him.

Meng Hongze: "..."

Hey!
How come he doesn't have a mother who isn't a spoilsport?
Of course, he could only keep these words in his heart, for fear that if he said them accidentally, he would be given a "love education".

Seeing that his mother stopped asking questions, Meng Hongze had to reveal the answer himself.

He said with a big smile, "Mom, I went to the Doraimi Kindergarten today to apply for the job of assistant cook."

"Doraemi Kindergarten? Applying for a kitchen assistant?"

When Wang Yuping heard this, the surprise on her face was beyond words, and her eyes were fixed on Meng Hongze as if she wanted to penetrate his mind.

Meng Jianglin and Old Man Meng also moved upon hearing the sound. They simultaneously shifted their gaze from the newspapers and TV programs in their hands and turned to Meng Hongze, with the same look of disbelief on their faces.

They were well aware of Meng Hongze's pride and self-confidence. He always thought highly of himself, so how could he easily lower himself to apply for a job as a kitchen helper?

What was even more unbelievable to them was that the place they were applying for was actually a kindergarten.

In their opinion, this was simply a waste of talent and was completely inconsistent with Meng Hongze's identity and talent.

Furthermore, although the family restaurant business is not as prosperous as before and has been on a bit of a decline, it is still doing okay overall.

As the one who is going to inherit the family business, why does Meng Hongze have to go out and look for other ways out?

This is simply unbelievable.

"Son, you are kidding us, right?"

Meng Jianglin asked with a puzzled look on his face, his eyes full of worry and confusion about his son.

Wang Yuping followed suit and said, "Yes, son, what is going on? Don't act on impulse and make a decision you will regret."

Although Mr. Meng did not ask a direct question, his eyes revealed his concern and doubts about his grandson.

He stared at Meng Hongze silently, waiting for his explanation and answer.

"I'm not kidding, and it wasn't an impulse, although I had the idea of ​​applying for the assistant chef position after watching his video. I just wanted to test the waters, but I didn't expect to be successfully accepted."

Meng Hongze briefly explained his decision to his family after careful consideration, and then continued: "That man is still young, perhaps only about 30 years old, but his cooking skills are comparable to grandpa's, and he even has the legendary 'golden tongue'..."

At this point, Meng Hongze's eyes flashed with endless admiration and respect for the chef, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

only…

After hearing this, the Meng family looked at him in disbelief again, their hearts full of confusion and puzzlement.

In their opinion, the old man's cooking skills at home are already the best in the industry, so why should Meng Hongze go far away to learn from a kindergarten chef?

So what if I have a “golden tongue”?

In this world, it is not uncommon to have people with extraordinary taste!

Grab a handful...

It certainly can’t be a reason for you to work as a kitchen helper in a kindergarten!
Moreover, once such a decision is made public, it will undoubtedly become a laughing stock among peers.

They might sneer at the fact that the most talented grandson of the Meng family did not learn his family's profound culinary skills and instead went to work as a kitchen helper in the kindergarten's kitchen.

This is simply a blasphemy to the Meng family's cooking skills and a stain on the family's honor!
Wang Yuping frowned, with obvious displeasure in her tone: "There is already a ready-made position in our own restaurant, why do you have to join in the fun at the kindergarten? It's just a position for an assistant cook."

Meng Jianglin also quickly agreed: "Your mother is right. Can't our restaurant accommodate a big Buddha like you? Why do you have to go outside and suffer that?"

Facing his family's doubts and opposition, Meng Hongze shook his head helplessly and said with determination and persistence: "You don't understand. What I pursue is the improvement and breakthrough of culinary skills, the sublimation of skills, not a comfortable job."

"If you want to learn cooking skills, Grandpa will teach you without reservation. At the very least, you can also ask for advice from the skilled chefs in the restaurant."

Meng Jianglin tried to persuade Meng Hongze again.

But Meng Hongze just responded with a faint smile: "Dad, I have mentioned just now that Chef Huang's cooking skills are not only comparable to Grandpa's, but may even be better than him, and he is better than the master!"

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone, smoothly opened the website of Doraemi Kindergarten, and showed Huang Jun's superb cooking video to everyone.

It would have been fine if they hadn't looked at it, but once they did, the three of them were shocked...

Have to admit it!
This cooking skill is truly outstanding and amazing!
Compared with Mr. Meng...

Even... better!

"Could this video be edited and pieced together?" Meng Jianglin couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

It is not surprising that he has such thoughts. After all, the chef's face that flashed by in the video was too young, and seemed to be only a few years older than his son.

At such a young age, is it really possible for one’s cooking skills to reach such a high level?

"Although it's edited, her cooking skills are indeed superb. Dad, don't judge others by yourself..." Meng Hongze changed the subject: "And, guess who I saw there?"

"Who?"

Meng Jianglin and others were full of curiosity.

"Chef Qian Guoxiang, the former head chef of the Nine Star Genting Hotel, is now also working as an assistant chef at the Doraimi Kindergarten, but he didn't recognize me." Meng Hongze continued, "Even such a senior chef is willing to work as an assistant chef under Chef Huang. What does this mean? This undoubtedly proves that Chef Huang's cooking skills are indeed extraordinary..."

Meng Jianglin: “…”

Wang Yuping: “…”

What he said made so much sense that they were powerless to refute.

But even so, they didn't want their son to learn cooking from someone else, let alone from a young man who had no place in the chef world...

At this time, Mr. Meng, who had been silent all the time, slowly spoke up: "It would be good for him to go out and learn. Let him know that there are always people better than you."

"dad!"

Meng Jianglin was surprised and tried to stop him.

Mr. Meng's eyes were firm: "The child is grown up, it's time for him to go out and gain some experience. This will be of great benefit to his growth."

"Yes, Grandpa is absolutely right!"

Meng Hongze quickly agreed with a smile.

Mr. Meng turned to Meng Hongze and said earnestly: "Xiaozhe, since you have decided to study, you must study hard."

Seeing that the old man had expressed his opinion, Meng Jianglin and Wang Yuping were somewhat reluctant, but they could only nod their heads in agreement. (End of this chapter)
