Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Chapter 376 - 347: Your Bodies Are Pretty Honest...

"Gulp~"

"Gulp~"

"..."

Liu Suyu and her companions faced the pot of lychee pork, its vibrant color and tantalizing aroma seemingly dancing on their tongues, causing their throats to involuntarily make the sound of longing, performing a "swallowing exercise."

Although each individual gulp was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz, together they formed an undeniable soft sound, like light rain tapping on a window sill, or a stream murmuring along.

So now.

It’s awkward!

Liu Suyu and her companions couldn’t help but blush with a hint of shy red.

Huang Jun listened to their swallowing sounds and looked at their expressions, feeling satisfied inside, while also unable to suppress a chuckle.

After all.

This collective gulping was the highest praise for his culinary skills, and the greatest affirmation for his meticulously prepared lychee pork.

Huang Jun poured the lychee pork from the pot into the serving plate, intentionally leaving some in the pot, then picked up a big plate, served the remaining lychee pork one by one, handed it to Liu Suyu in front of him, and smiled slightly: "Come, try my cooking."

"Try it?"

This sudden invitation surprised Liu Suyu and her companions a little, they all froze for a moment, then their gazes couldn’t help but drift back and forth between Huang Jun and the fragrant plate he held.

The originally deep-fried lychee pork had already taken on a slight reddish hue, and after being coated with the special sauce, its color seemed to have been given new life, becoming even more vibrant and striking, just like freshly ripe lychees in early summer, tender and tempting, making one want to taste it...

And each piece of lychee pork, after Huang Jun’s careful cooking...

Its surface was slightly glossy with oil, emitting an enticing aroma, the result of the crispy fragrance from the meticulous frying of the pork belly perfectly intertwined with the sweet and sour special sauce.

The waves of sweet and sour aroma continuously permeated from the nasal cavity, nobody could resist!

So...

"Chef Huang, how can I accept this?"

Liu Suyu pretended to be reserved, flicking her hair beside her ear.

But the next second...

Her hand had already swiftly reached for the plate, securely taking the plate of aromatic lychee pork.

"Yes, Chef Huang, we haven’t even started the meal yet, it’s really embarrassing to try it first!"

Chu Qiweng showed a shy smile on her face, but her hands moved without hesitation, quickly grabbing chopsticks and distributing them enthusiastically to everyone present.

Watching this scene, Aunt Lin and other kitchen staff: "..."

Uh...

All of you keep saying ’really embarrassing’, but your bodies are quite honest...

Huang Jun watched each of them being ’contradictory’, unable to suppress a laugh.

Liu Suyu saw that Huang Jun and the other kitchen staff’s eyes were focused on her, and noticed Huang Jun’s amused gaze, she immediately understood, and her originally cool and frosty face was again tinged with a faint blush.

She gave Huang Jun a playful glare, showing an awkward yet polite smile, and gracefully said: "We are only doing this for the kids, we purely want to try it first for them. What if our Chef Huang doesn’t perform well this time, we have to guard the quality for the kids in advance!"

Aunt Li: "!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ"

"Hey, Manager Liu, you can doubt our characters, but you mustn’t doubt Chef Huang’s culinary skills, even as a joke, we can’t show any disrespect!"

Huang Jun: "(ノ￣ー￣)ノノ(º_ºノ)"

That reason, I’d score it 99, afraid she might become proud with one more point!

"Yes, yes, we are definitely thinking of the kids, wanting to first try the taste of this lychee pork, see if it suits the kids’ palates." Chu Qiweng also smiled awkwardly, agreeing.

Saying this, she picked up a piece of lychee pork and put it in her mouth.

A burst of crisp texture instantly filled her mouth, the outer skin of the lychee pork made a slight "crack" sound between her teeth, brought by the unique texture of frying starch and yam flour.

Immediately, a wave of sweet and sour sauce flavor spread across the tongue, the tanginess and sweetness of the sweet and sour sauce was just right, neither overly cloying nor overly tart.

The tastes of fresh pork belly and crisp water chestnuts intertwined in her mouth, the pork belly, after marinating and frying, was tender and juicy, while the crisp texture of the water chestnuts added some layers and texture to the dish.

Finally, a subtle fruit fragrance lingered in her mouth, which is the origin of the name ’lychee pork’, and the essence of this dish.

Though there weren’t actual lychees, that subtle fruit fragrance made her feel like she could taste the sweetness of lychee.

Chu Qiweng’s face subconsciously showed a satisfied and joyful expression, she closed her eyes, savoring the wonderful texture and taste brought by the lychee pork.

One bite down...

Her eyes lit up, unable to resist exclaiming in surprise: "Wow, it’s so delicious! This taste, it’s just like eating lychee!"

Liu Suyu and the others, hearing such high praise, immediately picked up a piece of lychee pork and began to savor it.

And then...

All were conquered by the deliciousness of the lychee pork.

Honestly speaking.

Helping out in the kitchen is pretty great; at least you get to taste this delicious food in advance.

"Wow! Is this lychee meat? It’s simply too delicious. I’ve never had such tasty lychee meat before."

"I knew it would be good, but I didn’t expect it to be this delicious. The lychee meat I had before is nothing compared to Chef Huang’s skills."

"Yes, yes, yes, this lychee meat is simply too delicious. It’s crispy and tender, with the right amount of sour fragrance. One bite and it’s sweet and tangy, how can it be so tasty!"

"I can already imagine the scene when the kids taste this lychee meat; they’ll surely love it and won’t be able to stop!"

"Woo woo woo, there’s no actual lychee in this meat, yet it tastes sweet like lychee. It’s so magical! All the hard work in the morning was worth it. Everything was worth it!"

"Woo woo, being able to work at Dorami Kindergarten is such a blessing for me. I’m ready to dedicate myself entirely to Dorami Kindergarten even unto death."

"The sweet and tangy flavor, the crispy and tender meat chunks, along with the refreshing water chestnut chunks, are perfectly matched; I can’t stop eating! I want more! I want more lychee meat!"

"Me too, I haven’t had enough yet!"

"..."

In no time at all, the plate of lychee meat was quickly devoured by everyone. It wasn’t because they didn’t care about their image; it’s just that the lychee meat was too delicious to stop eating.

At this moment, their body’s instinctive craving surpassed the scope of control by reason, and it was simply beyond their control...

If it weren’t for wanting to save some room to try other dishes later, they probably would have already devoured another plate by now...

...

In the garden.

Sunlight filters through the treetops, casting dappled shadows as the air is filled with the laughter of children.

Director Liang Yinqiu took Jiang Shuihan and Lv Pengfei to tour the outdoor play area, teaching building, office building, library, as well as the art room, music room, science exploration room, botanical garden, and other important areas.

Throughout the tour, Director Liang not only provided detailed explanations of each area’s features and functions but also thoroughly explained the kindergarten’s educational philosophy and teaching concepts, giving Jiang Shuihan and the livestream audience a deeper understanding of Dorami Kindergarten.

Suddenly.

A tempting aroma wafted in with the breeze, like invisible tendrils gently stirring their hearts.

Lv Pengfei, whose mind had already wandered, was suddenly "attacked" by this unexpected fragrance, causing his nostrils to subtly flare as he greedily absorbed the air’s aroma.

In the next moment...

His eyes sparkled with surprise...

Oh my gosh~

The familiar feeling, the new taste.

Even if he used his toe to think, he would know—this must be Chef Huang’s masterpiece!

"Gulp~"

Lv Pengfei involuntarily swallowed his saliva, wishing he could rush to the kitchen immediately to meet his benefactor.

Alright, alright!

He admits that his heart harbors some selfishness, hoping to sneak a taste of Huang Jun’s cooking, even if it’s just a little.

Since eating the lamb skewers made by Huang Jun, he’s been craving them, always searching for Huang Jun, not just to express his gratitude but mainly to have another chance to taste Huang Jun’s dishes and satisfy his cravings!

But since Director Liang Yinqiu was still busy and hadn’t started talking, he could only patiently wait beside them, occasionally glancing towards the kitchen.

"Hmm? What a nice aroma!"

Jiang Shuihan was also drawn in by the sudden fragrance, instinctively guessing that the aroma, nine out of ten, was wafting from the kitchen in the garden, possibly made by the legendary Chef Huang.

With a touch of curiosity and anticipation, she politely requested Director Liang Yinqiu: "Director Liang, may I visit your kindergarten’s kitchen? This aroma is so enticing, I want to see which chef is showcasing their culinary skills."

"No need to ask, it’s definitely our garden’s Chef Huang!" Lv Pengfei’s eyes sparkled with yearning for the dish and admiration for Huang Jun; subsequently, he also looked expectantly at Director Liang, smiling as he asked: "Director Liang, can I see Chef Huang in the kitchen now?"

Director Liang Yinqiu wasn’t surprised by their request.

Thinking about exploring the school, naturally, visiting the kitchen is part of it, and she had previously promised Lv Pengfei he would meet Huang Jun.

So...

She nodded and agreed: "Of course, please come with me. I’ll take you to visit the kitchen and meet our Chef Huang. Chef Huang is the pride of our kindergarten, and his cooking is beloved by both the kids and teachers in the park; even the parents praise him a lot!"

Lv Pengfei excitedly responded: "I’ve tasted Chef Huang’s cooking; it’s really delicious! His lamb skewers, not exaggerating, are the best I’ve ever eaten, bar none."

Jiang Shuihan also agreed: "I’ve heard about Chef Huang’s skills, and hearing your praises today, I am even more eager. I wonder if there will be a chance to try it later! It would be great for the online audience to better understand the food at the park."

Director Liang Yinqiu thought for a moment, then smiled and replied: "If you’re willing, you can certainly give it a try!"

"Thanks to Director Liang, now that you’ve said this, I won’t be polite later." Lv Pengfei and Jiang Shuihan expressed their gratitude in unison.

Under Director Liang Yinqiu’s guidance, the group entered the bustling kitchen.

Just stepping through the door...

Jiang Shuihan’s gaze was involuntarily attracted by an eye-catching object—a bright banner hung conspicuously on the kitchen wall...
