Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Chapter 330 - 307: Like I’d Believe You! You Old Fox, You’re Really Wicked!

Outside the gate of Dorami Kindergarten.

A group of fathers who were not allowed to enter still lingered, unwilling to leave, wandering outside the gate.

Lin Weilin’s nose twitched slightly, sniffing every hint of aroma wafting through the air, he exclaimed, "Hey, did you smell that? It’s so fragrant, it must be the lunch prepared by Qingqing’s dad!"

Beside him, Chenchen’s dad from Class (3) — Zhou Zhichong, sniffed the air and couldn’t help but nod in agreement when he heard this, "Yeah, yeah, I smelled it too. You know, it’s really mind-boggling how it can waft over such a distance. Imagine how delicious it would be to have a bite..."

Wei Yulong laughed and chimed in, "That’s nothing! On the first day of the National Day holiday, over at Dongshan Beach, Chef Huang made a dish of ’Scallion Oil Yellow Croaker’. The aroma, it was incredible! Saying it spread over ten miles might be an exaggeration, but the enticing fragrance within a few miles was real. You guys wouldn’t believe how many tourists were searching all over the food stalls for that ’Scallion Oil Yellow Croaker’ smell!"

Upon hearing this...

The fathers all turned swiftly to look at Wei Yulong, their faces full of surprise.

There’s something fishy going on!

There’s definitely insider knowledge they don’t know!

Lin Weilin couldn’t contain his curiosity, "Qianqian’s dad, how do you know so much about this?"

Wei Yulong explained proudly, "Actually, that day, I took my family to Dongshan Beach to relax too. Suddenly, a striking aroma attracted me, so I followed it. Unexpectedly, I ran into Qingqing’s dad and Miss Yang there, playing on the beach. They were making a seafood feast. He’s really nice, he gave plenty of grilled squid to my family, Qianqian, and I had the chance to taste it!"

The other class fathers: "..."

Also being parents at Dorami Kindergarten, why weren’t they as lucky to meet Huang Jun and enjoy some gourmet food?

Ah!

If only they knew that Huang Jun would be cooking delicacies at Dongshan Beach that day, they would have definitely chosen to go there without hesitation. Then they could also have had the chance to savor Huang Jun’s cooking.

What a pity, such a pity...

Time doesn’t turn back, missed opportunities cannot be regained.

And unfortunately...

Today there’s also no chance to enjoy the lunch made by Huang Jun...

This really is... comparing one parent to another, it’s enough to drive them crazy!

Lin Weilin: "..."

Originally, he thought being able to taste the delicious roasted lamb at the Mid-Autumn Festival event was enviable enough.

Never expected Wei Yulong to be equally fortunate, equally enviable.

Truth be told, the other was much luckier than him!

He had plotted carefully to taste it, the other came by it accidentally...

Whose luck is better is obvious...

Lin Weilin, looking at the undisguised pride on Wei Yulong’s face, couldn’t help but share his own experience, "Actually, after the previous Mid-Autumn Festival event was over, I had the chance to taste the whole roast lamb personally cooked by Qingqing’s dad. The taste of that roasted lamb, tsk tsk tsk, was superb! Beneath the crispy outer skin was tender, juicy lamb meat, the texture was exquisite, and the meat aroma mixed with the roasted fragrance, every bite was mesmerizing!"

Well~

This is unabashedly flaunting having tasted the whole roast lamb...

Wei Yulong not to be outdone said, "The grilled squid was really good too! Its unique texture, the tender and juicy squid grilled just right on the iron plate, plus a variety of spices, was amazing, it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s the best grilled squid I’ve ever had..."

Oh come on, can one still live like this?

The group of parents outside the kindergarten, already tormented by the aroma wafting from inside, were driven to the brink by the vivid descriptions of Huang Jun’s whole roast lamb and grilled squid by Wei Yulong and Lin Weilin.

Speaking of!

Also being parents at Dorami Kindergarten, why could they enjoy Chef Huang’s skills, while the others could only sigh in admiration?

Is it just because their children are in the same class with Huang Jun’s two daughters?

It’s unfair!

Severely unfair in their hearts!

Thinking further that their own children and wives might be enjoying a delicious lunch inside the kindergarten right now, eating happily with satisfied smiles on their faces, while they could only stand outside the kindergarten, lonely, just sniffing the enticing aroma wafting through the air, a nameless sadness welled up inside.

The huge psychological gap...

One has to say, it really is too torturous...

So...

One parent finally couldn’t hold it any longer and walked towards the window of the guardroom.

This parent was none other than...

Zhou Zhichong!

"Knock knock knock~"

He reached out and tapped the window lightly a few times, shouting loudly, "Uncle Li!"

Inside the guardroom, Uncle Li was stirred from his thoughts by the sudden knocking, he raised his head with a trace of confusion, his gaze searching through the window for the source of the sound.

A silhouette swayed in front of the window, he couldn’t help but be stunned,

Speaking of.

Those participating parents had already gone inside, who could this be?

He stood up, slowly approached the window, and scrutinized the face outside.

Feeling a sense of familiarity with the face.

It should be one of the parents!

Thus he opened the window, asked curiously, "Hello, can I help you with something?"

As he inquired, his gaze involuntarily swept toward the kindergarten gate not far away, where a group of parents who hadn’t been able to enter were gathered, either standing or sitting, their faces showing signs of anxious anticipation.

Uncle Li’s eyes were filled with even more puzzlement.

Huh?

Why are these parents still lingering here?

Just thinking about these parents trying to sneak into the kindergarten to grab a meal earlier made him suddenly more vigilant.

He looked warily at Zhou Zhichong, attempting to discern any unusual clues from his actions and words.

"Uncle Li, hello, I’m Chenchen’s dad from Class (3)," Zhou Zhichong quickly plastered on a smile, explaining, "Here’s the thing, my Chenchen left in a hurry this morning and forgot to bring some things. You see, can you let me in to take them to his classroom? I promise I’ll be out quickly, I won’t delay everyone..."

Heh heh~

Keep on spinning your tales, let’s see what kind of story you come up with...

Uncle Li, although his eyesight wasn’t perfect, had a great memory. He clearly remembered that all the parents of Class (3) had already signed in, so looking at the smiling Zhou Zhichong in front of him, he couldn’t help but show a "How could I possibly believe you" expression, thinking disdainfully.

If the child had really forgotten something, his mom would definitely have brought it in directly earlier, so why would it be up to you to deliver it now?

Moreover, if you were truly delivering something, why have you been dawdling outside for so long?

Did you really have to wait until your wife had already participated in the event and the kindergarten was about to serve lunch to think of this?

Do you think I can’t see your little plan to "sneak into the kindergarten for a free meal"?

Back in the day, he was a reconnaissance soldier, and a remarkable one at that.

So, your little tricks couldn’t possibly escape his eagle eye?

Of course.

Little Chenchen from Class (3), he remembered pretty well!

Not only did he frequently arrive late, but at the beginning of school, he cried because he was late and had to be coaxed by Teacher Jiang, causing Uncle Li to miss out on a "flowing pumpkin bun," and Chenchen’s mom, who kept saying "no, no" yet honestly took one of his "flowing pumpkin buns", which still makes him feel a bit upset every time he thinks about it!

Now, Chenchen’s dad is trying to deceive him using cooked-up excuses...

Indeed, like family, like sons and daughters.

Indeed, one bed cannot produce two different kinds of people.

Uncle Li internally mocked a bit but chose not to directly expose Zhou Zhichong’s lie, merely responding lightly, "Oh, so you are a parent from Chenchen’s Class (3), and you want to deliver some items to Chenchen inside? Of course, that’s okay!"

Eh?

Entering the kindergarten is that simple?!

Other parents on site found their thoughts suddenly opened by these words!

They started whispering and discussing:

"Didn’t expect entering the kindergarten would be so easy!"

"Yeah, since we can go in, having lunch would be a piece of cake, wouldn’t it?"

"Why don’t we eat our child’s portion first, then let the kids ask the teacher for more?"

Parents exchanged glances, deciding to emulate Zhou Zhichong’s approach and sneak in.

As for whether the children could get lunch again from the teacher or if there were excess lunches at the kindergarten, these were no longer their main concerns.

Overall, they’d rather suffer their children than themselves!

Uncle Li’s words reached Zhou Zhichong and rendered him a bit surprised, but soon joy that was hard to suppress emerged on his face: "Uncle Li, then could you help open the gate for me? I’ll deliver the stuff to my Chenchen right away and come out immediately."

Uncle Li responded with a kindly smile: "No need to trouble yourself personally; just leave the stuff with me and I’ll notify Chenchen’s class teacher to fetch it."

This time.

Zhou Zhichong’s smile froze mid-air...

I don’t believe you one bit!

You cunning old man!

Uncle Li ignored Zhou Zhichong’s grievance-filled eyes and deliberately raised his voice to solemnly announce to the present parents: "Please pay attention, all parents, the kindergarten has strict regulations, and without special reasons, parents are not allowed to enter casually."

Upon these words, the eager expectation promptly vanished from the faces of parents ready to spring into action, replaced instead by a look of disappointment.

Indeed.

When God swiftly shuts a door on you, he closes the window as well!

Uncle Li, oh Uncle Li...

You are certainly the stumbling block on parents’ road to freeload, aren’t you!

Uncle Li faced the "resentful" gaze of parents without concern, walking to the gate, opening it wide, and continued calling, "Dear parents, if you need to transfer items to your children, please leave them at the gatehouse, and I’ll timely notify the class teacher to come collect."

Hearing this, the parents exchanged awkward smiles, eyes wandering, not daring direct eye contact with Uncle Li.

Overall, this matter was purely Zhou Zhichong’s personal act, having no connection with them.

Seeing the situation, Uncle Li offered no additional words, merely smiling as he closed the gate, leisurely returning to his seat.

Anticipating later enjoying the iron pot braised meat Aunt Li was sending, Uncle Li’s mood turned incomparably better!

Upon glimpsing the parents outside tantalized by the aroma, constantly swallowing, this stark contrast further enriched his sense of satisfaction, deeply reflecting on the truth of "only with comparison comes superiority."

It’s just...

Immersed in the sense of superiority, Uncle Li failed to notice that Zhou Zhichong and others hadn’t been dampened by his refusal, and instead, their fighting spirit was ignited, now softly conspiring with other parents, drawing up a fresh round of plan.
