Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten
Chapter 397 - 366: Staging a ’Havoc in Heaven
The rain finally ceased, and the sky was cleansed of dust. The clouds drifted away like a light veil, revealing the long-missed, faint blue.
"Director Deng, Director Jiang, how does the osmanthus rice cake taste? Is it palatable enough?"
Liang Yinqiu looked at them with an expectant smile, confident in the flavor of her osmanthus rice cake.
Huang Jun’s culinary skills were already legendary within the kindergarten; those who tasted his creations knew that his name was synonymous with deliciousness.
Seeing Deng Manli and Director Jiang’s satisfied reactions after tasting, Liang Yinqiu felt a sense of joy from successfully promoting the cake.
Deng Manli savored the osmanthus rice cake in her mouth, the sweet and soft texture accompanied by the scent of osmanthus, compelling her to praise: "Hmm, this osmanthus rice cake is quite nice! The texture is delicate, sweet but not overpowering, with a pervasive fragrance; it’s really good!"
Director Jiang also nodded in agreement: "Not only is this rice cake delicious, but the craftsmanship is meticulous. Every bite reveals the care and ingenuity of your chef; Dorami Kindergarten truly put in effort!"
These words of praise reached Liang Yinqiu’s ears, causing a gush of delight like spring water, impossible to conceal.
She humbly replied, "Thank you. It is our greatest honor to receive your approval."
After a short break.
Director Liang glanced at her exquisite wristwatch and noticed the hands pointing to the appointed time. With a smile, she turned to Deng Manli and her team, extending a sincere invitation: "Director Deng, Director Jiang, the time has come. Shall we proceed to the teaching building to observe the class and feel the charm of our teaching team together?"
"Sure, thank you for your efforts, Director Liang!"
Director Deng and her team members nodded in agreement, then stood up and followed Liang Yinqiu to the teaching building.
In the corridor, their footsteps were crisp and firm, accompanied by soft conversation.
As they reached the door of Class (4), Liang Yinqiu stopped and gracefully turned around, enthusiastically introducing: "Director Deng, Director Jiang, and esteemed teachers, this is Miss Yang Yuxi’s Class (4) classroom."
"Good!"
Deng Manli and the others maintained a calm exterior, but inwardly were amazed.
Director Liang, you are quite brave!
Daring to let us observe in a small class.
Are you not afraid that these lively and active children won’t sit still, causing a ’chaotic rebellion’?
If that really happened, it would be a disgrace for your Dorami Kindergarten...
They guessed that Liang Yinqiu chose the small class for observation perhaps to showcase Dorami Kindergarten’s unique approach to small class education and teaching charm.
Well then.
They waited to see how this carefully prepared observation would unfold.
Hopefully, this observation wouldn’t turn into a farce but rather a successful demonstration.
Otherwise.
This move by Liang Yinqiu might become a self-defeating blunder.
Liang Yinqiu had long sensed their thoughts, but she did not explain further, only gently pushed open the classroom door.
The door slowly opened, revealing a warm and orderly scene inside the classroom...
The children were already sitting on the small chairs. Upon hearing the sound, their little heads uniformly turned toward the doorway, curiously peering out at the world...
Seeing the director mother with some unfamiliar aunties entering, a hint of "do you have many questions" appeared on their puzzled little faces.
Oh?
What is going on?
Recalling Miss Yang’s earlier mention that teachers from Government Kindergarten would be attending class today, their confusion quickly turned into curiosity and excitement.
Fortunately, they remembered Yang Yuxi’s tempting food reward, resisting the urge to shout, remaining seated, yet still tilting their heads and blinking their clear eyes at them.
Director Deng and others were touched by the children’s innocence and discipline.
It’s important to know that previously, when Liang Yinqiu and her team came to their kindergarten for class observation, she specifically arranged for them to observe the senior class.
The reason being.
Naturally worried that young children’s self-control was still shallow, seeing visitors might excite them to an uncontrollable degree, thus disrupting the classroom’s harmonious order.
And just now, upon learning that Liang Yinqiu had chosen the small class for observation, suspicion arose in their hearts, even considering it a bold attempt.
But the scene before them entirely overturned their expectations.
These small class children displayed an astonishing level of focus and self-control, each upright sitting posture and each pair of curious yet unruly eyes conveyed the good education and careful nurturing they had received.
The courtesy and self-discipline revealed in the children’s behavior seemed to speak of the power of education and the seeds Yang Yuxi had sown in their hearts.
These details silently convinced Deng Manli and others of Dorami Kindergarten’s unique and significant achievements in small class education.
The children’s behavior quietly conveyed the profound impact of education, causing Deng Manli and others to appreciate Dorami Kindergarten’s educational methods.
Of course.
This was just an initial impression.
Ultimately, it still depended on whether the children’s performance throughout the class could maintain this high level of self-management.
I guess it won’t be easy!
Younger children are naturally active and find it challenging to stay seated for long periods; after ten minutes or so, they may start to become restless.
Even though the teachers’ repeated reminders beforehand might extend their attention span, maintaining this state throughout the entire class is still quite challenging.
Even the little ones in her Government Kindergarten class couldn’t manage that!
After all, every child is a unique individual with different personalities and attention spans, which makes nurturing self-management skills even more complex.
Well, we’ll just have to wait and see!
Liang Yinqiu noticed the surprise and admiration on Deng Manli and the others’ faces, and a satisfied smile curled up on her lips.
"Clap! Clap!"
Yang Yuxi gently clapped her hands, and the crisp sound instantly captured the children’s attention.
She smiled and said to the children, "Little friends, today we have special guests coming to listen to the class. These guests are Director Deng, Director Jiang, and teachers from the Government Kindergarten. They are here to learn with us, so let’s give them a warm round of applause for their arrival!"
As soon as she finished speaking.
"Clap! Clap! Clap~"
The children immediately burst into enthusiastic applause, while shouting in their childish voices, "Welcome, Director Deng, welcome, Director Jiang, welcome, teachers!"
Deng Manli and the others were also touched by this innocent atmosphere and responded with a smile, "Thank you, children, we are very honored to be here and spend this wonderful time with you. We are also very much looking forward to sharing this class with you."
The children smiled sweetly at them.
"Director Deng, Director Jiang, dear teachers, please follow me to the back of the classroom to take your seats," Director Liang gently guided.
"Alright, Director Liang."
Deng Manli and the others responded in unison, then followed her steps, orderly moving to the back of the classroom.
There, a whole row of small chairs was neatly arranged.
Everyone sat down one after another.
Yang Yuxi stood on the podium, seeing that Deng Manli and the others were ready, she began yet another public class in her life.
"Little friends, today we are going to step into a colorful world—the ’World of Colors’." Yang Yuxi smilingly looked at the children below the podium and said, "Let’s embark on this wonderful journey to explore the mysteries of colors together!"
Hearing this, the children’s eyes immediately sparkled with bright light.
One by one, they were eager to go, impatient to start this exploration journey.
"First, let’s play an interesting game called ’Guess Who I Am’." Yang Yuxi said while taking out several colorful balls from behind her: "Next, I’ll hide the balls behind my back, and then you guess what color ball I’m holding, okay?"
"Okay!"
The children’s little hands were raised high, eager to be the first participant.
"The teacher has got it." Yang Yuxi smiled and indicated for Yuanyuan to answer: "Well, Yuanyuan, you can guess first!"
Yuanyuan excitedly stood up and loudly guessed, "Red!"
Yang Yuxi smiled and shook her head, "Unfortunately, you guessed wrong this time, please sit down!"
"Okay, Qingqing, your turn to answer."
Qingqing stood up with a smile and sweetly replied, "Blue!"
"Congratulations, Qingqing, you got it right!" Yang Yuxi took out the blue ball and showed it to the children.
"Wow, it’s really blue! Qingqing, you’re amazing!"
The children didn’t hesitate to give enthusiastic applause.
Deng Manli and her team were deeply attracted by this warm and fun classroom interaction, their eyes focused on the children’s innocent smiling faces, listening to their innocent laughter.
At this moment, they felt genuine admiration for Yang Yuxi’s teaching ability and classroom charisma.
Next, we’ll use these colorful colors to create a painting of your own, "Yang Yuxi said while working with Xie Jianing to take out bright white paper and colorful paints from the cabinet, placing them in front of the children.
"Each child can choose their favorite color." She continued with a smile, "Let your imagination fly freely on the canvas!"
The children were immediately attracted by the vibrant paints in front of them, eagerly choosing colors, as their little hands moved lightly across the paper, each stroke depicting a brilliant color.
Interestingly, almost every child chose to depict various desserts and dishes, with osmanthus rice cake becoming the star among them.
These artworks, although a bit naive and of varying shapes, some round and cute, some slender and elegant, upon closer examination, one can still recognize the outline of osmanthus rice cake from the colorful canvas, with each piece radiating the children’s love for this sweet taste.
This, Yang Yuxi had already anticipated.
After all, in recent art classes, the children were most enthusiastic about drawing the various snacks and dishes prepared by Huang Jun.
And having just tasted the delicious osmanthus rice cake snacks, this fresh impression naturally became the source of their creative inspiration.
Deng Manli and her team couldn’t help but stretch their necks curiously to admire the artworks of the nearby children.
Hmm.
They looked up and down, left and right, no matter how they looked, the content of those paintings seemed like osmanthus rice cake?
It seems...
The children really, really love this cake!
However, the taste of this osmanthus rice cake is indeed very delicious, worth recording in their artworks.
