Chapter 359 - 333: You Really Have a Twisted Logic!
"Thank you, Daddy~"
Eating braised pork rib rice is quite convenient. As soon as the two little ones got their food, they couldn’t wait to pick up their spoons and take big bites.
Qingqing said with a smile, "Daddy, your braised pork rib rice is so delicious!"
"Mm-mm~" Weiwei nodded like a little chick pecking at grain and echoed, "Daddy, your braised pork rib rice is so delicious!"
"Qingqing, Weiwei, try not to talk while eating, otherwise, you might choke. If you really have to speak, make sure you swallow everything in your mouth first," Huang Jun reminded them as he noticed their cheeks puffed up like little hoarding moles.
"Okay..." Qingqing was about to agree but remembered her dad’s advice. So she stopped, swallowed all the rice in her mouth, opened her mouth wide to show she had swallowed it, and then continued, "Got it~"
Huh?
This is fun!
Weiwei mimicked her, swallowed the rice in her mouth, opened her mouth wide, and said, "Got it~"
"Good girls, as a reward, you each get an egg." Huang Jun fished out two eggs from the soup, blew on them, and placed them in the little ones’ bowls.
The outer layer of these fried eggs was slightly soft from the soup but still had the crispy edges distinctive to fried eggs. When Weiwei took a bite, the juice burst in her mouth, bringing a rich flavor.
Weiwei’s eyes lit up instantly, and she greedily licked the corner of her mouth, "Wow, the egg is delicious too!"
"Of course, Daddy’s cooking is always good!" Qingqing hadn’t eaten yet but nodded confidently. She noticed there was no egg in her dad’s bowl and realized what had happened, so she used her chopsticks to give half of her egg to her dad, "Daddy, you have some egg too!"
Seeing his beloved daughter’s thoughtful gesture, a warm feeling surged in Huang Jun’s heart. He smiled and accepted this special care, "Alright, Daddy will eat too~"
Oh dear!
Weiwei watched the scene and looked at the half-eaten egg in her bowl, a hint of regret on her face.
Regretting she didn’t think of that!
Oh, wait!
There’s still a remedy!
She could give the uneaten half of her fried egg to her dad!
Action followed her thought!
She immediately handed the uneaten half to Huang Jun, "Daddy, this is for you. I haven’t bitten this one."
"Enough, enough, Daddy already has plenty. You should eat it yourself!"
Huang Jun’s heart felt even warmer.
He took a small bite of the half egg.
Instantly.
He found the taste of the egg especially sweet,
After all, this was an egg filled with his daughter’s love!
He took another spoonful of braised pork rib rice.
The rice was fine and elastic, perfectly absorbing the ribs’ grease and juices, making it both sweet from the rice and savory from the meat, with a rich taste profile.
The ribs themselves, after braising, became exceptionally tender and juicy. A gentle bite would release the meat from the bone, providing a fulfilling texture.
The ribs had a thin caramelized layer with a subtle charred fragrance that perfectly complemented the meat’s aroma.
Corn kernels were sweet and juicy, carrot cubes crisp and refreshing, and edamame beans soft and delicate, offering a fresh mouthfeel.
In summary, this spoonful of braised pork rib rice combined the rice’s delicacy, the ribs’ tenderness, and the vegetables’ freshness. The flavors intertwined, creating a dish that looked, smelled, and tasted heavenly.
It was truly delicious!
Huang Jun felt thoroughly satisfied!
At this moment.
Qingqing suddenly remembered and shared, "Daddy, let me tell you, Miss Yang said we might go on an autumn outing next week..."
"Really!"
Huang Jun was surprised as he wasn’t aware of this yet.
Weiwei nodded in agreement, "Yeah, Miss Yang really said so!"
Her movements were like a little squirrel foraging, looking especially cute.
Curious, Huang Jun asked, "Did your Miss Yang tell you where the outing would be?"
The little ones exchanged a smile and shook their heads together, "Miss Yang didn’t say!"
Huang Jun smiled softly and continued to ask, "Where would you like to go for your autumn outing?"
Weiwei excitedly raised her hand, "I know, I know!"
"Oh? Where?" Huang Jun asked, quite interested.
"The zoo!" Weiwei answered excitedly.
"Why do you want to go to the zoo?"
Curious, Huang Jun asked, guessing perhaps she wanted to see the adorable animals.
However...
Weiwei blinked, her eyes filled with innocent brightness, and said, "Because the zoo has all kinds of meat, we can have a barbecue there..."
As she spoke, her little tongue licked the corner of her mouth as if fantasizing about the grilled meat at the zoo.
"Ah~"
Huang Jun was utterly dumbfounded!
My little glutton...
It’s funny how your logic works!
If we really ate the zoo animals, it would land us in big trouble...
For a moment...
He couldn’t help thinking this little girl Weiwei had a bit of a "troublemaker" trait...
Listening to her sister’s words, Qingqing’s small head filled with a big question mark.
Hmm?
Aren’t zoo animals meant to be seen, not eaten?
Is this for real?
If in doubt,
then just ask!
She turned to Huang Jun, eyes filled with puzzlement and curiosity, and asked, "Daddy, can you really grill the zoo animals?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Huang Jun snapped back and gently patted Qingqing’s and Weiwei’s heads, softly explaining, "Qingqing, Weiwei, zoo animals are not for grilling. That’s illegal. If you do that, the police officers will come, and you’d face serious punishment!"
Though it seems, in the wild, if you’re about to starve, eating a panda is considered an emergency and isn’t a crime...
"Oh..."
Qingqing and Weiwei’s eyes grew wide, clearly shocked by Huang Jun’s words!
Still guiding them positively, Huang Jun said, "Remember, animals are our friends. We should protect them, not harm them."
"Got it!" Qingqing nodded earnestly.
Weiwei blinked her big eyes and asked, a bit confused, "But Daddy, aren’t sheep, pigs, chickens, and fish all animals? Why do we harm and eat them?"
Huang Jun: "..."
Sweetheart, are you full of questions?
"Indeed, sheep, pigs, chickens, and fish are animals, but we raise them to provide food for us."
"But zoo animals are also raised by humans, so why can’t we eat them?"
Weiwei couldn’t comprehend.
Couldn’t understand...
The question made Huang Jun’s head spin...
If he answered again, who knows what other questions Weiwei would come up with.
So tiring...
And so...
He passed the "ball" to Yang Yuxi’s side, "Daddy doesn’t know either. You can ask Miss Yang and Miss Xie tomorrow!"
"Be good, finish your meal quickly, and afterward we can watch TV together..."
