Gourmet Kindergarten

In the classroom.

The doors and windows were tightly closed.

A row of little kids were lined up by the sink.

They stood on tiptoe, like penguins desperately trying to reach the faucet.

After washing his hands, Tiger, who was in front of the line, not only didn't dry them, but also slyly glanced at Zhuangzhuang next to him.

"Whoosh—"

With a sudden flick of her wrists, water droplets scattered like a shower of blossoms, hitting Zhuangzhuang squarely in the face.

Zhuangzhuang: "???"

The next second, Teacher Yu shot her a deadly look.

Tiger instantly turned into a quail, drooping his head and obediently slipping back to the end of the line to rejoin the queue.

The entire group of people washed their hands and returned to their seats, their movements perfectly synchronized: little hands on their knees, eagerly awaiting their feeding.

Unfortunately, one restless creature managed to slip through the net and, taking advantage of the chaos, managed to sneak to the door.

"Haohao, you're not allowed to go out."

Shen Man, with her sharp eyes, ran over and grabbed the chubby little hand that was about to grab the doorknob.

The little guy turned around and saw his beautiful new teacher. Far from panicking, he blinked his big eyes defiantly and argued in his childish voice:

"I didn't go out! I just...missed the headmaster's cooking!"

Shen Man: ? ? ?

That's it?

That said—what is it about this kindergarten director that makes the little guy so craving?

Based on her early childhood education experience, for such a tiny little creature, it's already a blessing if you don't have to chase after it to feed it; how could it willingly "offer itself up"?

Just as I was wondering, a cold, sharp shout suddenly came from the side.

"Haohao! Come here quickly!"

Jianjian sat in his seat, arms crossed, his little brows furrowed in a stern, elder-like manner.

"If you don't sit still, Uncle Headmaster won't give you any food!"

A decisive goal.

Hao Hao froze instantly.

Her big eyes widened, her little mouth pouted, and she stamped her feet anxiously, crying out, "No, no!"

"Da da da—"

The little legs moved swiftly, leaving afterimages as it ran, shouting urgently, "Uncle! I'm here! I'll sit down obediently! I want some food!"

Shen Man: "...?"

She looked down at Jianjian, who was trying to appear mature, and then at Haohao, who had rushed back to his seat and plopped down in a very upright position.

No, there are hidden relatives in this kindergarten?

Seeing her in a daze, Teacher Yu smiled and explained:

"That's the charm of the little headmaster's cooking. These mythical beasts are so obedient for the sake of rice that it's unbelievable."

"Yes, yes!" Lin Xi's eyes lit up at the thought of eating Pei Qian's cooking soon. "The kindergarten director's skills are truly amazing! My Zhuangzhuang has been craving it at home!"

Teacher Yu glanced at her with a puzzled look: "Speaking of which, Teacher Lin, you came here specifically to apply for a life skills teacher position today—you wouldn't happen to be craving the headmaster's cooking, would you?"

Lin Xi chuckled, making no attempt to hide her excitement: "Teacher Yu, congratulations, you guessed right."

Shen Man was secretly surprised.

She thought Lin Xi came because she was worried about her child, but it turns out she came for the food?

As for?

How amazing can the food at a kindergarten be?

Just thinking—

The classroom door was pushed open.

Pei Qian and Aunt Li pushed the insulated cart in.

The moment I stepped into the classroom, an incredibly rich aroma of meat exploded in my mouth!

With its enticing sauce aroma, it swept across the entire venue.

"Wow! Today's dishes are different! Is it braised pork belly?!"

"The meat smells so good! The shrimp smells so good too!"

"Waaaaah, I want to eat them all!"

The little ones who were just maintaining their "good little darling" persona instantly broke down.

They stretched their necks like giraffes, whispering to each other, their butts writhing on the chairs, unable to contain themselves at all.

Shen Man glanced at the food cart.

The braised pork belly is glistening and tempting, the prawns are plump and reddish, and the seaweed and egg drop soup is golden and bright.

It has meat, vegetables, and soup, and the colors are excellent.

Judging from the standards and quality of the ingredients, they really didn't skimp on anything; they can be considered a conscientious kindergarten owner.

"Don't worry, everyone gets a share. Today we're having braised pork, braised prawns, and seaweed and egg drop soup."

Pei Qian looked at the group of little ones who were practically drooling on the table, a faint smile flashing across his eyes, and casually helped distribute the plates.

"Little principal, I've been wanting to try your braised pork for a while now, and I didn't expect it to be arranged for me today—" Teacher Yu said while serving the dishes, sniffing the air.

"Really? Then eat more later."

"Absolutely!"

As he spoke, his hands didn't stop, and the dishes landed precisely one by one.

"Little one, let's eat."

Pei Qian gave the order.

The little ones, who had been getting impatient, grabbed their spoons and got right to work.

The meat was stewed until it was extremely tender and melted in your mouth.

Tiger, who was leading the rice, took a big bite, and his eyes instantly lit up like light bulbs:

"Mmm! The braised pork smells so good and tastes so delicious!"

Immediately afterwards, a chorus of humming filled the classroom:

"tasty!"

"Good job!"

It doesn't need to be fed, it's not picky about food, and it even licks up every grain of rice that falls on the table.

Lin Xi looked gratified, seeing her child eating so well brought great comfort to the old mother.

Shen Man was completely stunned.

She had seen so many children, but this was the first time she had ever seen such a bizarre scene of "everyone automatically eating."

This isn't just taking care of a child, it's saving eight hundred lives!

"Teacher Lin, Teacher Shen, don't just stand there, eat it while it's hot."

Teacher Yu called out and quickly brought over a plate full of food.

Lin Xi plopped down, picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth, her eyes instantly lighting up.

too delicious!

It's rich but not greasy, sweet and soft, and one bite will make your whole body melt in your mouth.

It was worth it for her to insist on applying for the job as a life skills teacher.

Shen Man hesitated for a moment, then picked up the spoon.

She's been eating Michelin three-star restaurants and exorbitantly priced private kitchen dishes since she was a child. What kind of tricks can she possibly pull off with braised pork from a mere kindergarten?

I casually scooped up a piece and put it in my mouth.

I chewed it.

The movement stopped.

This meat...something's not right.

It wasn't that it didn't taste good, it was just that it was unlike any braised pork she knew.

She has eaten many top-quality braised pork dishes, but the rich, oily sauce ones become greasy after a couple of bites, the exquisitely presented ones are dry, and the ones with fancy spices don't taste like meat at all.

But this piece in front of me—

The fatty meat melts in your mouth, and the aroma of the oil explodes on your tongue, yet it's not greasy.

The lean meat absorbs the broth, becoming tender and flavorful; it breaks easily with chopsticks.

There are no fancy techniques; it's just pure, solid, and perfectly cooked deliciousness.

The most expensive thing she had ever eaten was Iberian black pork belly, which cost 380 yuan.

To be honest, this one is just as good.

The chopsticks had already become unresponsive and had turned towards the braised prawns.

Pinch the shrimp head and gently pull, and the shrimp meat will peel off completely.

Take a bite—it's firm and chewy, with a sweet flavor seeping out from its texture.

Last month, there was a popular shrimp restaurant along the coast where people queued for two hours and spent 600 yuan per person. It was said to be "soul-stirring in one bite".

This one is better.

Shen Man didn't stop, and picked up another one.

By the time I came to my senses, the shrimp were all gone.

Teacher Yu passed by, smiling as she added a spoonful of soup: "Teacher Shen, have some soup too, it'll help cut through the richness."

Seaweed and egg drop soup.

She wouldn't even glance at this thing normally.

At the Shen family's dining table, the soup is either stewed with an old hen for four hours or made with matsutake mushrooms and dried scallops.

Seaweed and egg drop soup is no different from plain water.

But the bowl in front of me, with its golden egg flowers and dark purple seaweed intertwined and scattered, was actually quite pleasing to the eye.

I took a sip as if possessed.

fresh.

The greasiness from the braised pork and prawns vanished instantly, leaving a refreshing feeling from throat to stomach.

I must say, this Director Pei is quite capable.

Just for the food, even if she's unhappy at work, she'll keep doing it!
