Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it has quietly slipped to the long-awaited Friday.

On this sunny afternoon, Dolami Kindergarten is filled with the cheerful laughter of children and the gentle exhortations of teachers.

however.

A sudden notice broke this harmony.

After lunch, the kindergarten made an urgent announcement: after school, all faculty, administrative staff, and kitchen staff of the kindergarten must go to the conference room to attend an important meeting.

This sudden arrangement was like an unexpected breeze that gently brushed across every corner of the campus, but it also stirred a ripple in the hearts of every faculty member.

Although the teachers and senior staff of the kindergarten felt a little helpless, they also expressed their understanding. After all, this is part of the job.

As for the kitchen staff…

For example, Meng Hongze and other new kitchen staff had originally planned to pack up and go home to enjoy a leisurely weekend in advance, but when they heard the news, they couldn't help but wail.

"No way, no way, the kindergarten also has to hold a meeting?"

Meng Hongze looked incredulous, as if his understanding had been completely overturned.

"Before I came to work here, I never expected that the kindergarten's kitchen staff would also be involved in the meeting."

Zhao Weiguang and Yu Daqing looked at each other. Although they were already accustomed to frequent meetings in their previous jobs in the restaurant, the meeting arrangement of the kindergarten still surprised them a little.

They originally thought that kindergarten meetings were mainly the business of teachers and kindergarten leaders, but they did not expect that a logistical department like the kitchen would also have such formal meeting arrangements.

In contrast…

Zheng Yaohua, who has extensive experience working in kindergartens, appeared unusually calm.

He had worked at Hujin Kindergarten and was familiar with the kindergarten's operating mechanism, so he was no longer surprised by this kind of meeting arrangement.

"This is normal."

Zheng Yaohua patted Meng Hongze, Zhao Weiguang and Yu Daqing on the shoulders and consoled them: "Each kindergarten has its own set of rules and regulations. The purpose of the meeting is to help us staff better understand the requirements of the kindergarten and the actual needs of the children. This way we can better serve the children."

Huang Jun nodded and added: "In fact, kindergarten meetings are not held very frequently, only a few times a semester. But every meeting is very important, which helps us to better understand our job responsibilities and the growth goals we set for the children."

“Indeed, if you compare kindergartens to hotels, the pace of work in kindergartens is undoubtedly much more leisurely.”

After a brief moment of contemplation, Meng Hongze expressed his heartfelt emotion: "In the hotel run by my family, even a busy department like the kitchen has a full schedule. There are fixed meetings every day, and in case of emergencies, temporary meetings must be held immediately. In comparison, the working atmosphere in the kindergarten seems particularly relaxed and comfortable. We can enjoy regular working hours and get off work on time."

After hearing this, the others nodded in agreement, and the unbalanced feeling in their hearts disappeared.

however……

They also captured some key information from Meng Hongze's words that they had not known before.

Zhao Weiguang said in surprise: "Oh, Xiao Meng, your family runs a big hotel? You are not a hidden rich second generation..."

"Where, where..."

Meng Hongze smiled and shook his head, and responded modestly: "It's just a small-scale hotel, it's really not worth mentioning."

Yu Daqing asked curiously: "Xiao Meng, since your family runs a hotel, why don't you go to your own hotel to help out, but choose to help in the kitchen at the kindergarten?"

Zheng Yaohua half-jokingly said: "Is this the legendary rich second generation coming to experience life?"

"What do you mean by rich second generation experiencing life? Master Zheng, you are such a joke!"

Meng Hongze quickly clarified: "The reason why I came here to help in the kitchen is entirely out of my love and pursuit of cooking. I came here because I wanted to learn from Chef Huang's superb cooking skills."

When Zhao Weiguang heard this, he felt that they shared the same ideals...

He quickly agreed with a smile: "What a coincidence, Lao Yu and I are in the same situation. We worked at Qinghe Building before, and were fortunate to see Chef Huang's cooking skills. We found that there was a big gap between us. We wanted to become his apprentice, but Chef Huang didn't accept apprentices, so we had to settle for the next best thing and come here to apply for the job of assistant chef."

Zheng Yaohua also smiled and said, "My situation is similar to yours. I also heard of Chef Huang's name, but I didn't quite believe it at first, and even felt a little unconvinced. Until one day I had the honor of tasting his cooking, I was completely convinced. When I learned that there was a job opening for an assistant chef, I came here to apply without hesitation, hoping to learn a thing or two from him."

Huang Jun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Saying.

When did Assistant Chef Zheng taste his cooking?
Why did he have no memory of this?

At the same time, Ding Xiuzhen and other new errand boys also showed surprised expressions.

They never expected that there was actually a hidden talent in the kitchen of this kindergarten...

These seemingly ordinary assistant chefs actually all have impressive backgrounds!
And they all came for Mr. Huang, not for the reputation of the kindergarten.

However, when they thought of Chef Huang's amazing cooking skills, Ding Xiuzhen and others understood them.

After all, they came here to do odd jobs because they were attracted by Huang Jun’s cooking skills and wanted to eat the food he cooked...

After some small talk...

Everyone dispersed and continued to work on their own finishing work.

After a short rest, Huang Jun found that it was time to go home from school, so he stood up and prepared to go to the kindergarten to pick up Qingqing and Weiwei.

Today, the kindergarten specially opened the permission for parents to enter the classroom directly to pick up their children. Therefore, on the way to the classroom, Huang Jun met parents who were also going to the teaching building from time to time.

They greeted Huang Jun enthusiastically: "Chef Huang, are you going to pick up the kids from school?"

Huang Jun smiled and responded: "Yes, I'm going to pick up my two little babies. You guys should come pick up your children too!"

"Yes! It's a rare opportunity for me to come in today, so I wanted to take a look at the children in the garden."

Qiu Jingwen said, and then she added: "Chef Huang, thanks to your good cooking skills, my Guoguo has a good appetite in kindergarten and eats well every day. After school, he no longer complains about being hungry or asking for food. It really makes me, as a mother, worry less!"

Huang Jun smiled and said, "That's good! As long as the kids like it!"

At this time, Lin Huiyi interrupted and said, "By the way, Chef Huang, we were talking about this in the parents' group these days. Why didn't we see the kindergarten share your latest cooking video? We are also thinking about learning to cook new dishes from your video!"

"Oh, this..."

Huang Jun looked embarrassed when he heard this: "The person who filmed the video is a bit busy recently, so it has been put on hold for the time being. But don't worry, starting from next Monday, the kindergarten's food filming will be restarted, and it will be posted on the kindergarten's official account at that time, and you can continue to follow along and learn."

"Okay, that's good..." The parents expressed their expectations.

Conversation room.

Everyone has arrived in front of the teaching building.

After saying goodbye to each other, Huang Jun turned and walked into the classroom of Class 4.

At this moment in the classroom, the children are sitting in the picture book area, concentrating on reading the picture books they have carefully selected.

As the sound of footsteps approached from far away...

Many children looked up from the sea of ​​books and looked towards the entrance of the classroom curiously.

Qingqing and Weiwei recognized him at once, their eyes sparkled instantly, and they excitedly put the picture books in their hands on the table, then waved their hands and shouted happily: "Daddy! Daddy!"

"Hey!"

Huang Jun saw this and quickly quickened his pace. He picked up the two children gently, one in each hand, and rubbed their little faces and said, "Aren't you concentrating on reading? How did you know that Daddy is here?"

"I see you!"

Qingqing rushed to answer, pointing her little hand at the door with a smug look on her face.

Not to be outdone, Weiwei added, "I saw it too, and I knew you would come and hug us!"

"So smart!" Huang Jun was delighted by the innocence and wit of the two little guys. He raised his mouth gently and nodded to the children who waved to him enthusiastically. He said kindly: "Hey, good kids."

"Dad, is it time for us to go home?" Qingqing asked with a smile.

Huang Jun smiled and replied, "Baby, Dad has a meeting to attend later, so he can't go home now. After the meeting, we can go home together, okay?"

"Oh well……"

After hearing this, Qingqing and Weiwei both nodded sensibly.

Huang Jun suggested: "How about this, let's say goodbye to the two teachers first, then Dad will take you to the playground to play for a while, and then go to the meeting room, how about that?"

"Mmmmm~"

Qingqing and Weiwei both agreed obediently, then turned around and waved goodbye to Yang Yuxi and Xie Jianing: "Teacher Yang, Teacher Xie, we are leaving first."

After saying that, they did not forget to wave to the children and said, "Goodbye, children!"

"Goodbye Qingqing, goodbye Weiwei, goodbye Uncle Huang the Chef (Qingqing Baba)."

The children also waved back enthusiastically.

Yang Yuxi and Xie Jianing also smiled and waved: "Okay, Qingqing, Weiwei, see you later..."

"Ok?"

Qingqing and Weiwei were slightly stunned, then they understood what the teachers meant and nodded in response: "See you later..."

After saying that, they continued to nestle in Huang Jun's arms, letting him carry them away.

Just a few steps...

Qingqing suddenly remembered something, turned her head to look at the scattered picture books on the table, and reminded softly: "Dad, the book we just read has not been put back to its original place."

"Yes, Dad, my picture book is still on the table. It hasn't been put back on the bookshelf!" Weiwei quickly agreed, with a serious look on her little face.

"Then hurry up and clean it up..."

Huang Jun heard this, smiled and gently put them both down.

As soon as the two little guys landed, they immediately ran back to their seats, carefully picked up the picture books on the table one by one, and put them neatly back on the bookshelf. They also turned around and said to the other children: "Don't forget to put your books back in their original places!"

This scene was warm and orderly, and the parents who happened to come in couldn't help but smile like aunties, and they all praised them for being sensible and well-behaved children.

Hearing the praise from the parents, Qingqing and Weiwei felt a little secretly happy but also a little shy.

Afterwards, the two of them returned to Huang Jun hand in hand, held his big hand tightly, and walked towards the playground together.

On the playground, the father and his two daughters strolled leisurely, enjoying this rare parent-child time.

It didn’t take long…

Huang Jun noticed that many kindergarten leaders and teachers were walking hurriedly towards the meeting room.

Yang Yu even stopped to give them a gentle smile and reminded Huang Jun in a soft voice: "Huang Jun, the meeting is about to start. We should go to the meeting room to prepare for the meeting."

"Oh, okay, thank you very much for your reminder, we will be there soon."

Huang Jun smiled and nodded in response, then turned around and called Qingqing and Weiwei beside him. He held their hands and followed the steps of Yang Yuxi and others towards the meeting room.

When they arrived at the meeting room...

Huang Jun originally planned to take the two little ones to sit in his usual seat, but Yang Yuxi suddenly pulled him and the two little ones to sit next to her.

Seeing the two little guys sitting down, Huang Jun also took a seat beside them.

After everyone was seated...

Liang Yinqiu walked in from the door and officially announced the start of today's meeting.

The theme of this meeting mainly focused on the arrangements and discussions for the parent-teacher meeting to be held next week.

After properly arranging all matters concerning the parents' meeting, Liang Yinqiu changed the subject and began to talk about the Children's Day activities in the near future.

She smiled and said, "Recently, the heads of the parent committees of each class in our kindergarten made a suggestion to me. They said that there is no need to hold performances on Children's Day, and we only need to have a meal together in the kindergarten. What do you think of this proposal?"

What do teachers think...

Of course I feel good about it from the bottom of my heart!
At the same time, they also feel that the parents of this class are really awesome.

of course.

Although they were secretly delighted in their hearts, they still maintained their professional composure on the surface and expressed their opinions one after another.

Cai Jingxian spoke first: "I think this proposal is very good. Last year's Children's Day performance not only made our teachers feel exhausted, but the children were also exhausted. Some parents even expressed their dissatisfaction to me..."

Lin Jiayi then added: "It is indeed a good idea to have lunch. The parents of our class have long praised the meals in the kindergarten. If we can invite them to have lunch on June 1, I believe they will be happier than watching the performance."

Xie Jianing also nodded in agreement: "I think this proposal is very suitable. During the holidays, the most important thing is to eat, drink and be together. Parents bring their children here in the morning, give each child a small gift after dinner, and then have a holiday in the afternoon. This way, the adults can relax and the children can be happy. It is really killing two birds with one stone..."

Although there is still some time before Children's Day, if we decide to hold a performance, then each class needs to start planning the program and rehearsing now.

Seeing that the teachers were generally inclined to cancel the performance activities on June 1st and instead enthusiastically discussed the proposal of a dinner party, Liang Yinqiu was a little undecided, so she turned to Huang Jun with a smile and asked, "Chef Huang, what do you think?"

"I don't have any special opinions. It's fine to just have a dinner together instead of holding an event." Huang Jun responded briefly and directly.

Seeing this, Liang Yinqiu nodded, and at the same time, the balance in his heart quietly leaned towards the dinner party.

She thought for a moment and continued, "But if we just have a simple meal, wouldn't it be a bit monotonous?"

"Well..."

The teachers were all hesitant for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Huang Jun thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts: "I think we can try to celebrate Children's Day by having a big banquet. If the weather is fine, we can hold it on the playground and invite all the teachers, students and parents to participate. This will not only create a lively and interesting atmosphere, but also make our celebration different from other kindergartens."

"Chef Huang is really thoughtful. This is a great idea!" Cai Jingxian was the first to express her agreement.

"I think this is a good idea too. It's a banquet, who doesn't like it?" Yu Xiaoshuang also echoed.

Zheng Yujia further proposed an idea: "At that time, we can let the children draw the invitations themselves, and then give the invitations to their parents before the banquet. This will not only increase the children's sense of participation, but also solve the problem of the subject matter of the art class. It really kills two birds with one stone."

Xie Jianing couldn't help but interrupt: "The parents of our class have expressed their willingness to pay for meals to support such activities..."

Zheng Yujia took over the topic: "Parents in our class have also mentioned that they are willing to use the money originally used for performance costumes as meal expenses. If we have a banquet, we can just collect some gifts, and then the kindergarten will prepare some small gifts for the children as return gifts. This not only shows the thoughtfulness, but also adds to the festive atmosphere."

After listening to the teachers' opinions, Liang Yinqiu thought for a while and then said, "We do need to carefully consider the issue of accepting gifts and food expenses. We hope to create a simple, happy and burden-free holiday atmosphere for the children."

Cai Jingxian expressed her thoughts: "In fact, there is no need to charge more. It should not be a big problem to just charge the cost of the ingredients, right? I think the parents in our class are willing to pay this money."

Yang Yuxi proposed another idea: "Or we can not charge money, let each parent prepare a gift, and then give the parents' gifts and the gifts prepared by the kindergarten to the children together. This can not only show the parents' intentions, but also increase the fun of the festival."

Zheng Yujia nodded in agreement: "I think it is a good idea for parents to prepare gifts. After all, this is a festival for children, and the most important thing is to let them feel the love from their parents and the kindergarten."

Liang Yinqiu thought about it and finally decided: "How about this, next week, you all ask the parents in the class what they think. If most parents support having a big banquet, then we won't arrange any programs for Children's Day this year, and we will just have a banquet instead."

Although she didn't have to rehearse on stage herself, she had always seen it and knew that the teachers and children put in a lot of effort for each performance, which was really not easy.

So...

She planned that as long as most parents agreed, we would not take the usual approach this year - we would just have a big feast! This would give the children and teachers a different holiday experience. (End of this chapter)
