Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the sky was clear and the spring breeze was blowing gently, injecting infinite vitality and vigor into the new semester. It was a great starting point to embark on the journey of seeking knowledge.

All over the country, whether it is university campuses, primary school buildings, or kindergarten playgrounds, they are all wrapped in the joyful atmosphere of the new semester.

In this torrent of hope at the start of the new school term, Dolami Kindergarten also welcomed the start of its new semester.

This is not!

The kindergarten teachers were full of enthusiasm and stepped into the kindergarten gate early, officially switching to the "working mode" of the new semester.

Entering the classroom of their respective classes...

The teachers followed the routine, first opening the windows for ventilation, and then carefully cleaning the classroom again to create a fresh and comfortable learning environment for the children.

Yang Yuxi and the other two teachers in the class were no exception and were very busy.

at this time.

There were bursts of crisp and pleasant footsteps coming from the corridor, gradually becoming clearer and clearer as they got closer.

Xie Jianing raised her head reflexively, and her eyes were instantly attracted by the figures of Huang Jun's family of three walking into the classroom door. A hint of unexpected surprise appeared in her eyes.

She showed a warm smile and greeted them enthusiastically: "Qingqing Dad, Qingqing, Weiwei, you came so early today, it's really unexpected!"

Ok?
Huang Jun is here?

real or fake?

Could it be that Xie Jianing was teasing her on purpose?

Want to see her lose her composure?

Hearing this, Yang Yuxi couldn't help but murmur in her heart, subconsciously thinking that Xie Jianing was teasing her on purpose, but then she couldn't help but look up quickly...

Oh!

It's really them...

The corners of her mouth could not help but curve into a happy arc, and she said with a smile: "Huang Jun, Qingqing, Weiwei, you came really early."

At the same time, teacher Wang Wenxia also looked up and greeted Huang Jun's family of three with a smile: "Qingqing Dad, Qingqing, Weiwei, good morning!"

Upon seeing this, Weiwei and Qingqing immediately waved their hands and politely greeted the three teachers: "Teacher Xie, Teacher Yang, Teacher Wang, good morning!"

Huang Jun smiled and nodded to the three teachers, and said gently: "It's a new semester, so I always want to come early to set a good example for the children. At the same time, I also want to go to the kitchen as early as possible to prepare breakfast, hoping that the children on the first day of school can have a hot breakfast as soon as possible."

Ah!
Mainly because of the fear caused by the crying children on the first day of school last semester, he was still frightened and felt vaguely uneasy, which prompted him to arrive at school early so that he could prepare breakfast as soon as possible to deal with any situation that might arise.

After all, children love the food he cooks, so he can use food to divert children's attention, let them immerse themselves in the ocean of food, and forget the uneasiness and anxiety brought by separation.

In short, the main idea is “Food Strategy among Thirty-Six Strategies”!
After hearing what he said, Yang Yuxi and others immediately understood his concerns.

In fact, they are also worried, fearing that the children will feel unfamiliar and uneasy about returning to school after being separated for the winter vacation, and may even cry.

However, when they saw Huang Jun so considerately sharing the work with them and working hard to solve the problem, a warm feeling suddenly surged in their hearts.

Especially Yang Yuxi, her heart was filled with ripples, and she couldn't help but secretly admire: He is worthy of being the man she has chosen, always so attentive and considerate, which makes people admire him.

"Huang Jun, you are so thoughtful." Yang Yuxi looked at him shyly, with a tender light in her eyes. "With you here, our teachers and parents feel more at ease and reassured."

Xie Jianing also nodded and agreed: "Yes, Qingqing Dad, you are always so careful and thoughtful. It is a blessing for our teachers and children to have a chef like you in the kindergarten."

Wang Wenxia also smiled and added: "Yes, Qingqing Dad, if the parents knew that you care so much about the children's affairs, they would definitely be very grateful and admire you. They must have seen your efforts and remembered them in their hearts."

Huang Jun couldn't help but smile modestly when hearing these words of praise. He waved his hand and said modestly, "No, no, this is what I should do. The happiness and health of children are our common responsibility. I just did my part."

"Okay, teachers, I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare something. I'll trouble you to look after Qingqing and Weiwei." Huang Jun said politely.

Yang Yuxi gently played with the hair beside her ears and responded with a gentle smile: "Huang Jun, you are too polite. Don't worry, I will do my best to take good care of Qingqing and Weiwei."

Xie Jianing also quickly agreed: "Yes, Chef Huang, just go and get busy. We are here and will definitely take good care of Qingqing and Weiwei."

"Okay, thank you!"

Huang Jun nodded gratefully, then looked down at Qingqing and Weiwei beside him, and said softly with doting eyes: "Qingqing, Weiwei, you must listen to the teacher. When daddy makes the brown sugar glutinous rice cake, I will bring it over for you to try."

When they heard that there was delicious food to enjoy, Qingqing and Weiwei's eyes immediately sparkled with excitement, and their little tongues couldn't help licking the corners of their mouths, as if they were already intoxicated by the tempting aroma.

Even Xie Jianing couldn't help but pursed her red lips, her heart full of anticipation - that brown sugar rice cake must be delicious!
"Got it, Dad. Go and do your work. We will be good and obedient." Qingqing and Weiwei came back to their senses and waved goodbye to Huang Jun obediently.

"So good!"

Huang Jun reached out and touched their little heads, his eyes full of love, then turned around and walked towards the classroom door with some reluctance.

Yang Yuxi quietly watched Huang Jun's back gradually disappear into the distance, a hint of reluctance inadvertently revealed in her eyes.

Xie Jianing was sharp-eyed and caught this subtle change in emotion. She whispered softly in her ear: "Oh, look at the state of someone. His soul is about to fly away with him..."

Yang Yuxi's cheeks instantly turned red, and she quickly explained: "It's not that exaggerated..."

Xie Jianing smiled even more brightly and continued to tease, "You're still saying no, but look at you, your eyes are almost like trackers, staring at my back."

Yang Yuxi was made more embarrassed by Xie Jianing's words. She shyly pushed her gently and said angrily, "Jianing, stop joking with me. I just think Huang Jun is really considerate and treats children very well, so I feel a little touched."

Xie Jianing blinked, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "You, you are just a little woman who says one thing and means another."

Yang Yuxi was speechless after her thoughts were exposed. However, a playful smile appeared on her face involuntarily: "Okay, I admit that I am indeed a little girl who likes to say one thing and mean another. What can you do to me? If you don't accept it...you can bite me?"

Xie Jianing looked at Yang Yuxi's face that said "I just like the way you can't stand me but can't get rid of me", and felt that this was simply a naked provocation...

hum~
If you don't teach her a lesson, she will really think that Xie Jianing is Hello Kitty!
She quietly reached out her hand and gently pinched Yang Yuxi's sensitive spot, causing Yang Yuxi to dodge repeatedly and laugh as clear as a bell: "Oh, how could you do this!"

Qingqing and Weiwei, who were standing by, witnessed this scene and blinked their eyes rapidly. Although they didn't quite understand why the two teachers were being so playful, they thought the scene was extremely interesting and their hearts were filled with longing.

Weiwei asked curiously, "Teacher Xie, Teacher Yang, what are you doing?"

Xie Jianing smiled and said, "Your teacher Yang feels itchy, I am helping her tickle, come over here and help the teacher tickle Teacher Yang..."

"Oh, then I'll help tickle Teacher Yang!"

As they spoke, the two little guys also imitated Xie Jianing and stretched out their chubby little hands to grab Yang Yuxi. "Hahaha, no, don't do that!"

Yang Yuxi dodged the "attacks" of Xie Jianing and the two little guys while laughing, but was attacked from both sides and could not dodge in time, so she could only let them "ravage" her.

Wang Wenxia stood aside, quietly watching them playing and fighting with Qingqing and Weiwei, with a helpless smile on her lips, and shook her head gently.

It is said that time makes people more stable and mature, but look at these two teachers, why do they look more and more like children?
However, such youth and vitality are also a rare beauty...

……

Huang Jun, who had no idea what was happening in the classroom, had already arrived at the kitchen.

After politely greeting Aunt Li and the kitchen staff, he quickly changed into a neat chef's uniform, went through a comprehensive disinfection process, walked into the operation room, and began to prepare to make brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.

Brown sugar rice cake is a popular dessert snack in Sichuan and Chongqing. Its main ingredients are glutinous rice and brown sugar. If you want a better taste, a small amount of soybean powder will be sprinkled on it.

This dessert is not too sweet, but has a rich taste.

The glutinous rice cake strips, which are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, are perfectly blended with the slightly thick brown sugar juice that is cooked to just the right degree, and paired with the rich aroma of soybean powder, making the brown sugar rice cake a delicious dish that will leave you with an endless aftertaste.

Huang Jun once had the honor of tasting this dessert and thought it tasted really good!

When Qian Guoxiang saw him come in, he smiled and reported: "Chef Huang, you are here. The glutinous rice needed to make brown sugar rice cake has been soaked all night. According to your instructions, we asked Aunt Li and the others to wash it twice. Now it has been steamed in the steamer for about 20 minutes. It should be ready soon..."

When making brown sugar rice cake, soaking of glutinous rice is crucial. Only glutinous rice that is thoroughly soaked will be soft and sticky when steamed. It will not have a hard core and can maintain the right softness and amount of moisture.

If you steam glutinous rice directly without soaking it, it will be difficult to cook it completely because during the steaming process, the glutinous rice needs to absorb a large amount of water, and water vapor alone is not enough.

If you choose to cook the glutinous rice in water, although it can ensure that the glutinous rice is cooked thoroughly, the glutinous rice cooked in this way will have too much water, which is not conducive to the subsequent frying process.

Therefore, to make delicious brown sugar rice cake, the glutinous rice must be fully soaked.

"Okay, I get it. Thank you for your hard work!"

Huang Jun walked slowly to the steamer, smelled the aroma of the glutinous rice carefully, and when he felt the heat was right, he turned off the fire.

He did not remove the steamer immediately, but left the steamer covered with the lid for a while.

The purpose of doing this is to allow water vapor to penetrate the glutinous rice more fully to prevent it from becoming hard-core. At the same time, it also allows excess water vapor in the pot to drip naturally through the gaps in the steamer, maintaining the pure taste of the glutinous rice.

A few minutes later…

Huang Jun picked up several clean large stainless steel basins and placed them one by one on the spacious workbench.

Then he picked up the oil bottle and evenly spread a thin layer of cooking oil on the inner wall of each basin.

"Assistant Chef Meng, can you please come and help me? Let's transfer the glutinous rice in the steamer to these basins."

Huang Jun said as he lifted the lid of the pot swiftly.

A warm and moist heat mixed with the unique aroma of glutinous rice instantly spread, making everyone present take a deep breath involuntarily.

"The glutinous rice alone smells delicious. It will definitely smell even better when it's ready."

Yu Daqing on the side couldn't help but sniff it hard, with an intoxicated look on his face.

Huang Jun nodded slightly: "Yes, this glutinous rice is the best rice we carefully selected from many varieties. After a long time of steaming, it is fragrant and tastes very soft. We have to process it quickly so that everyone can taste this rare delicacy as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he steadily picked up the top steamer, walked steadily to the operating table, and skillfully turned the steamer upside down in a prepared basin.

Then, he gently moved the steamer away and carefully tore off the silicone steamer cloth that was tightly attached to the glutinous rice.

At this moment, the basin is full of steaming, crystal clear steamed glutinous rice, as tempting as sparkling pearls.

But it's very sticky!
Meng Hongze and several other kitchen assistants were also busy. They followed Huang Jun's demonstration and lifted the remaining steamers one by one and carefully poured the glutinous rice into the remaining basins.

See this.

Huang Jun scooped out an appropriate amount of granulated sugar from the sugar jar nearby and gently sprinkled it into each bowl of glutinous rice.

While sprinkling sugar, he taught Meng Hongze and the others the secret of making brown sugar glutinous rice cake: "Adding soft white sugar is to make the glutinous rice cake taste slightly sweet, but remember not to put too much, otherwise it will taste a bit greasy."

Meng Hongze and others nodded and silently took note of his words in their hearts.

"Now, we will work in groups of two and stir the glutinous rice in the basin into glutinous rice balls while it is still hot. This will not only allow the granulated sugar and glutinous rice to be fully and evenly mixed, but also ensure that there are no bubbles and gaps in the glutinous rice, making the final taste more delicate." Huang Jun said as he picked up a thinner rolling pin and began to stir in the basin.

This task is indeed quite physically demanding, but fortunately the operation is not difficult.

In addition, Qian Guoxiang held the basin steadily with both hands, which relieved a lot of his burden.

After about ten minutes of unremitting efforts, the glutinous rice in the basin gradually condensed into a very sticky glutinous rice ball.

If you continue to pound it with the pestle and mortar, the glutinous rice ball can be made into authentic rice cake.

But today's target is not rice cake, so after the glutinous rice ball was formed, Huang Jun stopped his actions in time.

Qian Guoxiang evenly spread a layer of peanut oil on the inner wall of each large box.

Huang Jun took advantage of this free time to walk over to Meng Hongze and others and carefully check their mixing progress.

Once he finds that the mixing is not even enough, he will personally help until all the glutinous rice balls have achieved the ideal mixing effect.

At this time, the temperature of the glutinous rice has dropped slightly and become more sticky.

Huang Jun, Qian Guoxiang and others put on disposable gloves and began to put the glutinous rice balls into boxes.

Since the gloves are also coated with oil, they don’t have to worry about the glutinous rice sticking to their hands.

In the process of packing the glutinous rice balls, they press them from time to time to expel as much air as possible to ensure that the brown sugar rice cake tastes better.

After everything was packed, Meng Hongze put the boxes into the cold storage.

Doing this can speed up the cooling process of the glutinous rice. Once the glutinous rice is cooled and shaped, it will be easier to cut into strips.

At the same time, the work in the kitchen came to a temporary end, and the teachers of each class returned to their busy schedule. They went to the gate of the garden to greet the lively and lovely children in their class. (End of this chapter)
