Chapter 290 - 272: Are You Joking with Us, Just to Steal Our Transfer Plans?
"Alright then, we won’t be polite about it, thank you~"
The other parents looked at the seafood on the iron plate handed over by Wei Yulong and without hesitation reached out for it.
The reason is simple.
On one hand, they’ve been craving this taste for a long time.
On the other hand!
Their hearts had just been deeply hurt by the warm scene of Wei Yulong’s family with a kind mother, loving father, and filial daughter, causing a tremendous heartache.
This pain made them urgently need some comfort to soothe their deeply wounded hearts.
So...
Faced with Wei Yulong’s kindness, they didn’t hesitate, gladly accepting this delicious offering.
Okay, okay!
They admitted.
The main worry was that they might miss out on this delicious treat if they hesitated for even a moment...
Once in hand, the parents couldn’t wait to try it.
"Oh my, this is so delicious! The taste, the texture, the level of skill—it’s simply astounding! Even better than that famous time-honored restaurant’s taste!"
"Indeed, this iron-plate squid is a masterpiece. Its texture is crispy yet tender, refreshing and flavorful, with a hint of charred aroma. It surpasses all the well-known iron-plate squid joints on the market. The most surprising thing is that it’s not greasy at all, with no fishy smell—it’s truly delicious beyond words!"
"Hahaha, my luck is next level—got myself a skewer of iron-plate shrimp! Initially, I wasn’t too thrilled, thought it was too small to be satisfying, but once I started tasting it, it’s a series of surprises! The shrimp is crispy on the outside and tender inside, with a fresh taste. Each bite is full of chewy texture, becoming more aromatic the more you chew!"
"Do you think the aroma of spring onion-flavored pomfret and steamed seafood we smelled earlier might also have been from this Chef Huang? It’s unlikely to have two such outstanding chefs on the same beach, right? Also, when I first got here, I caught a faint whiff of steamed seafood, but didn’t see a chef working on it? So I seriously suspect it’s the same person!"
"Tell me about it! It’s obvious that it’s Chef Huang’s work! You think masters of such culinary expertise are as common as cabbages on the street that you’d just lazily find a bunch anywhere?"
"Indeed, this skill is unmatched, even the city’s most famous Fatji Iron Plate Squid Shop can’t compete."
"I heard their kid goes to Dorami Kindergarten and this chef is a cook at the kindergarten, does that mean his kid gets to eat this delicious food every day while at kindergarten?"
"Yeah, if that’s the case, those kids at the kindergarten are really in for a treat. What’s the name of that kindergarten again? Dorami Kindergarten, right? I need to find an opportunity to check it out."
"Why can other people’s kids enjoy such good food at kindergarten while ours are full of complaints? What does this say? It clearly indicates that our kindergarten lacks such an expert chef..."
"Exactly, exactly. With a culinary-savvy parent as a chef, the kids eat happily and we, as parents, feel more at ease."
This idea is really great and worth serious consideration. My daughter also complains day after day that the kindergarten food is hard to swallow, and she comes home whining about being hungry. Perhaps I really should think about transferring her to that Dorami Kindergarten."
"..."
After tasting the delicious iron-plate seafood, the parents were not only deeply convinced by its taste but also started feeling a strong urge to transfer their kids to Dorami Kindergarten.
Quite a few parents had this thought!
Upon learning about these parents’ intention to transfer, Qiu Jingwen was not surprised; rather, she thought their idea made perfect sense.
The culinary skills of the Dorami Kindergarten chef are undoubtedly a great blessing for the children and enough to make parents consider transferring.
Looking at the entire city, it’s hard to find another kindergarten with such advanced culinary skills.
Even on a provincial scale, it’s hard to find a kindergarten chef comparable to the one at Dorami Kindergarten.
Attending a school like this doesn’t just provide kids with extreme taste satisfaction but also solid assurance for their healthy growth.
Therefore, the parents’ desire to transfer their kids is completely understandable, she could even empathize...
Indeed.
After tasting Huang Jun’s culinary skills, the recently subdued thought of transferring her daughter surged strongly again, and the regret in her heart deepened.
Ah!
There was once an opportunity for a transfer right in front of her, but she didn’t cherish it. Only once lost, did she regret it deeply. There’s nothing more painful in the world than this...
If heaven could give her another chance, she’d say those three words without hesitation: Transfer her!
What a pity, what a pity!
Opportunities disappear in a flash, and now she can only lament with regret...
Qiu Jingwen deeply regretted, shaking her head helplessly, she joined the chat and said, "It’s impossible for you to transfer to Dorami Kindergarten this semester!"
These words left the parents feeling like a murder of crows flew overhead, and their eyes filled with confusion.
"Why do you say that, fellow parent?"
Qiu Jingwen politely responded, "Because Dorami Kindergarten is currently full; they’re not enrolling mid-term."
At this, the parents’ hopes were instantly extinguished with a "snap."
Each looked at Qiu Jingwen with a hint of disbelief.
Speaking of.
Parent, are you joking with us to make us give up on the idea of transferring schools?
Yeah!
The parents were once suspicious that Qiu Jingwen had the idea of transferring schools too, but were worried about the fierce competition and the difficulty of success, so she deliberately released such news to mislead them, hoping to reduce a competitor for herself.
But eventually, all the confusion turned into one sentence: "Ah... that’s impossible... I was actually planning to transfer my child this semester! Why did you say that?"
Qiu Jingwen explained, "I did want to transfer my daughter to Dorami Kindergarten before, so I specifically asked someone to inquire about the situation at the kindergarten. But the reply from the school was that they have already filled the student slots and won’t be accepting new transfer students this semester."
Xu Sijun added on the side, "I actually helped her ask about this issue, and that’s what the teacher at the kindergarten said."
"Actually, the kindergarten had spots before, but later because Chef Huang’s cooking is so good, it attracted many students to transfer over, so it quickly filled up. My cousin missed it by a step, so she couldn’t get in..."
Seeing the parents still looking doubtful, Qiu Jingwen didn’t forget to add, "We have no reason to deceive you about this, if you don’t believe us, you can ask the teachers at Dorami Kindergarten."
It seems... what they said is true...
The parents chose to believe this fact, and at the same time couldn’t help but show a look of helplessness and disappointment on their faces.
"So... does this mean Dorami Kindergarten is really hard to get into now?"
"Yeah, such a good kindergarten, why is it so hard to get into?"
"Didn’t this parent just say it’s because the chef’s cooking there is so good that it attracted many students to transfer! It seems... it will only get harder to get in..."
"Ah, ultimately missed by a step... How come I didn’t discover this treasure of a kindergarten earlier? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have missed such a great opportunity."
"It seems I can only wait for the next semester and hope to have a chance to get in..."
"..."
Of course, there were also parents who didn’t feel frustrated and give up because of this.
"It’s alright, it’s just full! It’s not a big problem, I can pull some strings to see if I can get in edgewise."
As soon as these words came out, they instantly sparked a glimmer of hope among other parents.
Oh right!
That’s a good idea...
As long as the connections are in place, you have more chances than others...
Now, the parents’ minds became active again.
Each of them began to sort through their own network of connections in their minds, wondering if there were any resources or channels they could leverage to use the power of networking to win an opportunity for their child to get into Dorami Kindergarten.
Qiu Jingwen listened to this and couldn’t help but feel a ripple in her heart.
How could she not want to use connections to get her daughter into Dorami Kindergarten?
But the problem is...
Her husband is unwilling to make an effort, and she really has no solution...
How exactly can she change her husband’s mind to be willing to make an effort?
As she was thinking, she took another bite of the teppanyaki squid, the delicious taste blossoming on her tongue, making her eyes light up like a bulb.
A thought suddenly flashed in her mind—perhaps, she could use this to move her husband’s heart?
Her gaze fell on the remaining half of the teppanyaki squid, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this idea might hold a sliver of hope.
Meanwhile, the young man wearing a cool baseball cap and the other onlookers, seeing how everyone was eating so deliciously, couldn’t help but feel a desire to go over and ask for some to taste, but they were also too shy to ask directly.
Just as everyone was hesitating...
A petite girl walked towards them with a plate of fragrant teppanyaki seafood, smiling warmly.
She enthusiastically greeted them, saying, "Everyone, it’s fate that we meet, these teppanyaki seafood dishes are made by Chef Huang from Dorami Kindergarten, and he especially asked me to bring some for everyone to taste."
As soon as people heard this, their faces lit up with joy, and they all stepped forward.
"Thank you! Please also thank Chef Huang for us..."
As they accepted the plate, they expressed their sincere gratitude to Xie Jianing and asked her to convey their appreciation to Chef Huang.
The young man with the cool baseball cap and the others couldn’t wait to start tasting this delicacy.
Watching others enjoying it earlier had made them crave it terribly.
Now it’s finally their turn to taste, and with one bite, there was no need to say much, just one word could describe it: awesome!
At the same time, they all silently remembered the name "Dorami Kindergarten" in their hearts.
Because there’s a talented chef there.
For them, tonight was destined to be an unforgettable night.
...
And Xiaopang, who was lucky enough to get a skewer of teppanyaki squid, resisted his cravings and swiftly headed back to his family’s "Shrimp and Crab Warriors" food stall...
