Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Chapter 351 - 325: Just Satisfy Me This Once (Part 2)

In no time.

The dining cart was packed full.

Aunt Li immediately began pushing the cart toward the dining hall.

"Here it comes, here it comes, the pork knuckle rice is here..."

Fan Guangjian and several other special forces officers, along with Brother Qin and other photographers, couldn’t wait to get a taste of the pork knuckle rice, so they quickly got up and ran toward Aunt Li.

Aunt Li was startled by this sudden action. If she weren’t in a kindergarten, she might have thought she was being attacked!

Facing the crowd of special forces officers and photographers, Aunt Li’s face was full of confusion: "What are you all doing?"

Fan Guangjian smiled and explained, "Auntie, don’t take it the wrong way, we just want to help you out. Seeing you push the cart with such effort, we young and strong folks can lend a hand."

The others nodded as well, indicating they were of the same mind.

Hearing this reason, Aunt Li nodded and said with a smile: "Well, thank you. Why don’t you go straight to the operations room? There are carts there too! But it won’t..."

"So many people," those four words hadn’t even left her mouth!

When Fan Guangjian and a few others, faces lit with joy, eagerly ran straight toward the operations room.

Aunt Li watched their departing figures, shook her head helplessly, and shouted at their backs: "Hey, I haven’t finished talking!"

But what replied to her...

Were only their receding backs.

Seeing this, Aunt Li didn’t bother with them anymore and decided to serve the pork knuckle rice to Guan Shiming and Yue Xifeng’s table first.

"Thank you!"

Guan Shiming and the others quickly received it, their eyes immediately captivated by the bowl of pork knuckle rice before them.

There’s no denying it.

Just from appearance alone, it already looks very tempting!

The reddish, slightly quivering pork skin with meat on top covers the steaming rice.

A spoonful of rich gravy poured on top makes the pork skin glisten with allure.

Along with the bright green vegetables and golden eggs as decoration, it further makes one’s mouth water.

Guan Shiming eagerly picked up a piece of pork knuckle and put it in his mouth.

The rich aroma and tempting sheen already promised its extraordinary nature, but it wasn’t until his tongue touched the tender meat that he truly realized how limited his understanding of deliciousness had been.

This pork knuckle rice is exceptional, more authentic than any other pork knuckle rice he’s ever tasted.

The pork knuckle, after slow cooking for a long time, has become incredibly tender, melting in the mouth, with each bite full of collagen, offering an ultimate enjoyment for the taste buds.

The pork skin, during the stewing process, fully absorbed the rich gravy, becoming elastic and upon a gentle bite, one can feel that chewy texture.

The pork meat, under the influence of the gravy, has become tender and juicy, with each bite exuding a mellow aroma, leaving one with an unforgettable aftertaste.

The rice, as the soul mate of pork knuckle rice, cannot be ignored either.

Every grain is plump, with a soft and sticky texture, perfectly blending with the delicious pork, making each bite a harmonious blend of rice and gravy, compelling one to keep taking mouthfuls.

The gravy of the pork knuckle rice is truly the cherry on top, rich in flavor without being greasy, slightly sweet amid the savory taste, infusing into the rice, making each grain filled with the aroma of the gravy, greatly enhancing the appetite.

Finally, a bite of refreshing green vegetables not only offsets the greasiness of the pork knuckle but also adds a hint of freshness, making the entire pork knuckle rice more diverse and flavorful.

Guan Shiming marveled: "Wow, this pork knuckle rice is much tastier than I expected! This is definitely the best pork knuckle rice I’ve had in my life, Chef Huang’s skills are impressive!"

Yue Xifeng nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, it’s astonishing."

At this moment...

He finally understood why parents would take risks climbing over the gate just for the gourmet food in the kindergarten.

Considering how delicious it is...

If he were in the parents’ shoes, he might make the same choice!

He praised: "Director Liang, you really have an eye for talent, being able to recruit such a skilled chef, truly a blessing for the kindergarten!"

Gosh!

To hear praises for Huang Jun from Officer Yue’s mouth is not easy.

You know, just a few days ago, he still had some dissatisfaction with Huang Jun.

Now, this big change is indeed surprising, but it’s exactly this delicious pork knuckle rice that dispelled all prejudices.

Liang Yinqiu smiled and responded: "Yes, our kindergarten truly struck gold this semester. Ever since Chef Huang joined, the children’s enthusiasm for coming to school has greatly increased!"

"Huang Jun’s culinary skills are truly undeniable!" Guan Shiming finished praising and continued eating eagerly.

The others watched them eat so deliciously that their mouths began to water profusely.

Fortunately, with the help of Fan Guangjian and the others, everyone got to enjoy the pork knuckle rice much faster than before.

With ample manpower, half a cart of pork knuckle rice was swiftly pushed to the dining hall.

After the last delivery...

Fan Guangjian couldn’t hold back his desire any longer and began eating eagerly.

The moment the pork knuckle entered his mouth...

The rich gravy and tender, delicate meat instantly conquered his taste buds, so delicious that he almost swallowed his tongue.

At that moment...

He felt the smack from that frying pan earlier was worth it!

All his grievances and dissatisfaction vanished in the moment he tasted the delicious pork knuckle rice.

Even the worry of writing a reflective essay disappeared, his mood becoming incredibly joyful.

Alas...

Such deliciousness, just one bowl is not enough...

His gaze unconsciously turned to the remaining gravy in the pot, and an idea suddenly sprouted in his mind.

Oh, right!

The captain only said one serving of pork knuckle rice, didn’t say I couldn’t drink more gravy...

He opened his mouth, but felt embarrassed to say it.

Huang Jun, watching Fan Guangjian, felt quite curious and couldn’t help but ask: "Officer Fan, thank you so much for your help this noon! But judging by your expression, is there something else on your mind?"

Hearing Huang Jun’s question, Fan Guangjian showed an awkward yet courteous smile and said: "Well, Chef Huang, do you think you could let me bring the leftover gravy to the dining hall? To be honest, your pork knuckle rice is just too delicious, not only the pork knuckle but the gravy too. It seems a waste to just leave it, so why not let me take care of it!"

At this point.

Huang Jun was completely speechless.

How does he feel like he’s standing in front of a foodie rather than a special forces officer?

He even wouldn’t let the leftover gravy go.

Eating it...

Aren’t you afraid of being overwhelmed by the saltiness...

He smiled and reminded: "Officer Fan, if you drink this gravy alone, it might be a bit salty."

Fan Guangjian nonchalantly waved his hand, a smile stretched across his face, and said: "It’s really okay, I just like that salty umami flavor. Chef Huang, please satisfy me this once, I really want to drink this gravy, is it okay, please..."

Oh come on~

Such a big guy, to be begging for a bit of leftover gravy.

If not for seeing he’s a special forces officer, Huang Jun might have used a ladle and knocked it over.

He reluctantly said: "Alright then, go and help yourself."

He was really intimidated!

Afraid this special forces officer might come up with some other whims!

Certainly.

He figured knocking the other unconscious with a frying pan earlier was some sort of compensation, relieving a bit of his guilt.
