Gourmet Kindergarten

Teacher Yu is a woman of action; she turned around and immediately grabbed her plate.

She quickly made three copies: one for herself, one for Aunt Zhao, and then handed one to Pei Qian.

"Come on, everyone, don't stand there, eat together. This is a good opportunity for me, the 'skeptic,' to properly examine the goods."

The three sat around the table.

Teacher Yu couldn't wait to pick up a piece of golden-brown sweet and sour pork and put it in her mouth.

"Snap!"

The crispy outer shell cracks between your teeth, while the meat inside is tender and juicy. The sweet and sour flavor spreads instantly on your tongue, neither masking the aroma of the meat nor greasy.

Teacher Yu's eyes widened instantly.

Good guy!

This tastes far better than the "authentic Northeastern restaurant" she ate at last week, which cost her 200 yuan and took her to queue for half an hour!

She didn't stop, and then gulped down a huge spoonful of stewed cabbage and tofu.

One bite and I almost sighed with pleasure.

The soup base looks clear and bland, but it's so delicious that it makes you want to swallow your tongue!

The tofu was so tender it melted in your mouth, and the cabbage stalks soaked up the broth, becoming soft, flavorful, and with a hint of sweetness.

Without any fancy "technology or hard work," this exquisite freshness is brought out solely from the cheapest ingredients!

After taking two bites, her mind was in turmoil.

To be honest, she had been thinking about resigning for a long time.

What is the current situation of the Golden Sun?

The student population is severely declining, and classrooms are almost empty.

The capable teachers have already found other opportunities, leaving her as the only one struggling to keep going.

If it weren't for the fact that her daughter Tangtang was still in kindergarten and she was worried that the child wouldn't adapt well to the new environment, she would have left long ago.

She's been worried every day lately, worrying about where her salary will come from next month and how long the kindergarten can last.

But now?

Looking at the steaming food in the bowl, and then glancing at the children next to her who were eating noisily with their mouths full of oil, Teacher Yu suddenly felt that things might not be so bad.

With this skill, why worry about not having students?

Parents will send their children over just by smelling the odor!

I used to think this was a hopeless mess, but now I see it as a piece of uncut jade covered in dust!

Resign?

What are you talking about?!

With this kind of food, she could work at Jin Taiyang until retirement.

She looked up at Pei Qian, her doubts vanishing, replaced by a bright light of re-examination.

"Young principal, how come I never noticed your skills before? This isn't just progress, it's like you've achieved a meteoric rise from the ashes!"

Aunt Zhao ate frantically, not even bothering to wipe her mouth, and mumbled incoherently in agreement:

"I knew it! This isn't some junior kindergarten principal; she's a five-star chef whose talent was wasted on early childhood education!"

Pei Qian calmly shoveled a mouthful of white rice into his mouth, concealing his accomplishment:

"So-so, it's all talent."

Aunt Zhao: "..."

Teacher Yu: "..."

You're getting cocky just because I said you're fat?

but…

Savoring the meat in his mouth carefully, he realized he certainly had the right to breathe.

"really,"

Aunt Zhao quickly finished off the last drop of soup from the bottom of her plate, then smacked her lips with lingering satisfaction. "Little Principal, Teacher Yu, I'd like some more. Would you like some more?"

Before he could finish speaking, a chubby figure rushed over.

"Grandma Zhao, I want some too! Give me lots of fried meat!" Zhuangzhuang held up the plate that was almost licked clean, his eyes gleaming with greed.

He not only craved it himself, but also wanted to pack some for Xiao Qingmei.

only--

With him taking the lead, the classroom instantly erupted in chaos.

"Grandma Zhao, I want one too!"

"Wow, the meat smells so good, and the cabbage and tofu are so fresh! I can still eat!"

"My stomach is full, but my mouth isn't satisfied! Just two more pieces of fried meat!"

"I want more! I want more!"

"..."

The originally obedient and docile mythical beasts collectively rebelled.

Aunt Zhao's smile froze: "..."

Oh no, I've messed up by slipping my tongue!

Pei Qian sighed helplessly.

Hey!

I never imagined that cooking such delicious food could be such a hassle…

Teacher Yu sighed, rubbing her forehead.

Hey!

Not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

Aunt Zhao, having you is truly my blessing...

Teacher Yu reached out and pulled Zhuangzhuang over, patting his round belly, and ruthlessly refused: "No way, Zhuangzhuang. This plate is already the limit for you. If you eat any more and your belly bursts, you'll have nowhere to cry!"

She glanced at the other five money-devouring beasts: "You guys are the same. DVDs are fine, but no binge eating!"

She strictly controlled the amount of rice she served, ensuring that she was full but not stuffed.

However, expecting a four-legged money-devouring beast to reason is like expecting a sow to climb a tree.

really!

Zhuangzhuang pouted, "No! I want to eat! I'll cry if you don't give me any! Waaah..."

"The fried meat smells so good, why can't I have some! I could eat two more servings!"

"Wow—Mommy! Teacher Yu scolded me! Teacher Yu won't give me any food!"

Seeing this, the other five immediately followed suit, and their six-part howling nearly lifted the roof off.

Teacher Yu and Aunt Zhao's eyes twitched simultaneously.

One serving isn't enough, do you need two?

Do you think your stomachs are filled with black holes?!

Even if you dare to eat it, the two of them wouldn't dare to serve it!

In utter despair, two pairs of eyes turned to the same person—Pei Qian.

Pei Qian looked at the six little mythical beasts in front of him, crying so hard that snot bubbles were almost coming out of their noses, and his brows were so furrowed that they could trap a fly.

Noticing the two pleading looks, his brow furrowed even more: "Why are you two looking at me like that?"

"Young director, quickly calm things down, this is really not allowed to be eaten."

"Can they even hear me in my town?"

"You're the headmistress! And... this whole mess is caused by your amazing cooking skills! If you don't fix it, who will?"

Pei Qian: "???"

Teacher Yu, listen to this, are you even speaking human language?

"It was Aunt Zhao who started it, what does it have to do with me?"

Aunt Zhao instantly switched to an innocent expression: "Little director, I'm the victim! It smelled so good, I couldn't resist..."

Pei Qian: "..."

Okay, so it's all my fault?

"Alright then," Pei Qian said with a half-smile, deliberately drawing out his words, "to prevent this kind of 'trouble' from happening again tomorrow, I've decided to make the food even less appealing. I guarantee they'll want to eat it after just one bite and won't ask for a second serving—"

"No—ah—!!!"

Two piercing wails echoed in the classroom, startling the cries of the six little monsters.

Aunt Zhao clutched her chest: "Young director, I was wrong! I won't say another word! If you cook bad food, I'd rather starve to death!"

Teacher Yu nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, yes! The young principal is very magnanimous; I'll disregard what you just said! Keep developing your talent, and please don't ruin your future!"

Pei Qian looked at the two faces in front of him that instantly changed and were frantically trying to please him, and the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

Oh.

You were so eager to shift the blame just now, but now you know to beg me?

Since your attitude was somewhat sincere, then he—

"Alright, I'll reluctantly try to solve it."

As for how to solve it?

The natural approach is to shift one's attention.

Trying to reason with a child when they're crying and fussing is like talking to a brick wall.

But if you offer him something more exciting and fun, his attention will instantly be diverted.

Pei Qian happened to have this trump card in his hand.
