Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 235 - 221: Slackers at Mealtime Have Ideological Issues

Chapter 235: Chapter 221: Slackers at Mealtime Have Ideological Issues

The sunlight slanted down on the empty space at the kitchen door, casting a soft golden glow on the two grills.

In the center of the grills, two plump whole lambs lay quietly, their skin coated with a special golden seasoning that reflected an enticing sheen.

Beside the grills, Huang Jun and Qian Guoxiang worked in perfect harmony.

They continuously turned the grills, ensuring that every piece of lamb received the fire’s lick, allowing the heat to evenly permeate every fiber of the meat.

Ensuring the lamb was evenly heated.

As time passed...

The fat dripped slowly through the cracks of the lamb under the high temperature, falling onto the charcoal in a pleasant "sizzle! sizzle! sizzle!" sound.

The roasting flames gradually transformed the surface of the lamb, giving it a deeper golden hue, as if covered by a thin, crispy coat, while beneath this golden coat, the lamb maintained its tender, juicy essence, emitting an intoxicating aroma...

At this moment, everything around seemed to quiet down, with only the aroma of the roast lamb and the crackling of the flames lingering in the air.

Qingqing and Weiwei sat on small stools, their legs tightly clenched, elbows resting on their legs, with their hands supporting their chins, eyes fixed intently on the lambs on the grill not far away, as their little tongues involuntarily licked their lips.

The desire to eat was written all over their faces.

Thus.

The meat buns and pumpkin cakes were temporarily left aside.

Earlier, when Qingqing and Weiwei were holding them, teasing them, they struggled tirelessly, unwilling to escape the "little claws" of their little masters.

But now, Qingqing and Weiwei had set them free, not teasing them anymore, and they shamelessly approached to ingratiate themselves, looking at their little masters with innocent big eyes, appearing pitifully with a look of "please hug me."

It’s a pity... a real pity...

Qingqing and Weiwei’s thoughts were now completely captivated by the roasted whole lamb, not even sparing a single glance for them.

Ultimately, the meat buns and pumpkin cakes were drawn by the enticing aroma of the roast lamb wafting through the air, completely abandoning any notion of continuing to appease Qingqing and Weiwei.

They focused their attention entirely on the mouth-watering roast lamb, all the while mewing incessantly at Huang Jun, as if reminding him not to forget to feed these little feline creatures.

Unfortunately...

Chef Huang was busy seasoning the lamb again, adjusting the flavor, far too occupied to pay any mind to these little pals.

At this.

The meat buns and pumpkin cakes collapsed sadly into their mother’s embrace.

"Wow, I heard we’re having roast lamb for lunch today, and it really is roast lamb..."

Yang Yuxi and Liu Suyu had just finished tidying up the activity room and eagerly ran over to the kitchen.

Liu Suyu saw Huang Jun deftly turning the lamb on the grill, the surface of the lamb a golden brightness, glistening under the flames, emitting a fragrant aroma, and couldn’t resist praising, "It smells so good... Chef Huang, your skills are truly amazing!"

"Yeah, this aroma is so tempting!" Yang Yuxi inhaled deeply, eyes fixed on the lambs on the grill, as if afraid a blink would cause her to miss the delicacy.

"Smelling good is the goal! Please eat plenty later," Huang Jun replied with a smile.

Other class teachers arrived one by one, the fragrant aroma making them swallow involuntarily one after another.

Seeing the teachers engaging in "swallowing exercises," Huang Jun couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

Indeed.

Every girl harbors a little foodie soul inside, and when faced with the temptation of food, their resistance is practically zero!

"Here, everyone have some custard mooncakes to hold you over first!" Aunt Li and Aunt Lin thoughtfully brought out some mooncakes, smiling as they offered them to everyone.

"Thank you!"

The teachers gratefully accepted the mooncakes, eagerly taking a bite.

Mmm, the crust was crispy on the outside, the custard filling inside soft and delicate, rich and sweet...

Absolutely delicious!

"Wow, so good! No wonder those parents, after finishing their own custard mooncakes, still think about the ones in their children’s hands; with such flavor, I can’t help but want another bite," Xie Jianing said with an expression of ecstasy.

"Yeah, watching those parents enjoying them with gusto while we could only look on absolutely whetted our appetite! Now that we finally get to eat them, it feels so satisfying," Jiang Xinzhuo nodded.

"The custard mooncake’s taste is really good, sweet but not greasy, with a rich texture... Chef Huang managed everything so well, it’s truly commendable!" Wei Siyi praised, then turned to Chef Huang, eyes gleaming with anticipation, "Chef Huang, if possible next time, I’d love to try the mooncakes you make from scratch, they must be even more delicious!"

As those words were spoken, the other teachers also looked at Huang Jun expectantly, ears alert, eager for his response.

Huang Jun: "..."

Hey~

The current batch of mooncakes isn’t even finished, and already you’re thinking about the next one!

These teachers have got grand plans!

Seeing the anticipation in Wei Siyi’s eyes, Huang Jun couldn’t help but smile slightly, saying, "Sure, next year, next Mid-Autumn Festival, I’ll make various flavors of mooncakes for you all."

"Ah... that’s a whole year away..."

On hearing this, a faint look of disappointment flashed across Wei Siyi and the other teachers’ faces.

She originally thought Huang Jun would give her a closer date, but unexpectedly, she had to wait until next Mid-Autumn Festival.

Sigh!

All her careful plans ended up coming to nothing...

However, disappointment is just that.

Wei Siyi quickly adjusted her mindset, smiled, and said to Huang Jun: "Alright, then we’ll look forward to next year’s Mid-Autumn Festival for the delicious mooncakes! Chef Huang, you have to keep your word!"

"A gentleman’s word is his bond!"

Huang Jun smiled and nodded, then continued with what he was doing.

...

As time passed, this tantalizing aroma drifted gently with the breeze, gradually permeating every corner of Dorami Kindergarten.

Even the parents who were playing with their children in the play area caught a whiff of it, and something seemed to break in this playful moment.

Lin Weilin suddenly stopped playing with his son, sniffed, and said, puzzled, "What the heck... where’s this aroma coming from... goodness, could it be Chef Huang’s roast lamb?"

Qu Qing immediately understood and reminded, "Please remove the words ’couldn’t be,’ this wonderful lamb aroma is sure to be from Chef Huang’s roast lamb."

"This feels really surreal; from such a distance, the aroma has drifted all the way here." A father in the upper class couldn’t help speaking up: "You know, if we could have a taste, it would be so delightful!"

"Yeah, I’ve tasted roast lamb before, but compared to this aroma now, it’s just not the same level." Another father in the middle class said excitedly: "I can’t take it anymore, this smell is too tempting!"

For a moment, these parents were tormented.

How can they not feel tormented...

The drifting aroma is so enticing, it’s hard to imagine how delightful it must taste when eaten!

The children were also affected by this aroma, curiously looking around, trying to find its source.

Lin Pengyi tugged at Qu Qing’s clothes and asked in a childish voice, "Mama, what a nice smell... did Qingqing’s daddy make lunch? I want to go back to the classroom and eat!"

"Pengpeng, it’s holiday time now, the kindergarten doesn’t serve lunch, this is Qingqing’s dad making roast lamb for the teachers to eat!"

"Wow, roast lamb!" Lin Pengyi’s eyes lit up instantly, he jumped up excitedly, "I want roast lamb, I want to eat the roast lamb made by Qingqing’s daddy, I just want to eat it!"

Other children also couldn’t hold back their desires, speaking eagerly to their parents about their strong wish to taste the delicious roast lamb.

"Ugh, the teachers are so lucky, they get to eat delicious food made by Chef Huang even during the holidays, I want to eat too, I really want to eat!"

"Waaah, Chef Huang is so biased, only making good food for the teachers and not for us kids... I don’t care, I just want to eat roast lamb, I must eat it!"

"I want to find the teacher and ask her to take me to eat roast lamb!"

"I want to find the teacher too..."

Lin Yipeng’s eyes lit up, and then he ran with the other kids towards the classroom...

Seeing this scene.

Qu Qing quickly shouted: "Hey hey hey, Pengpeng, your teacher probably isn’t in the classroom right now, they’re definitely over by the kitchen."

The other parents also realized it.

"Let’s go, let’s take the kids over, maybe we can snag a bite with the teachers."

"Yeah, let’s go together, if it doesn’t work, we’ll just pay the kindergarten to get some."

"Then let’s go check it out together!"

...

These parents exchanged a knowing smile, having made up their minds.

They immediately took action, trying to catch up with their children, to lead them back in the right direction—towards the kitchen.

...

"Huh? Why hasn’t Director Liang come yet?" Seeing the roast lamb nearly ready, Xie Jianing was eager to eat, and seeing Liang Yinqiu hadn’t arrived yet, she craned her neck to look towards the office building.

Yang Yuxi replied with a smile: "Maybe Director Liang is still busy in the office, dealing with business always takes some time."

"Handling business isn’t that urgent, is it?" Xie Jianing muttered: "It’s not too late to deal with it after eating!"

To her, not being eager to eat indicates a problem in thinking!

Just then, Liang Yinqiu came over, following the aroma.

She greeted everyone sitting around the roast lamb warmly: "Oh, everyone’s here!"

Aunt Li quickly responded with a smile: "Director Liang, you came just in time, but Uncle Li hasn’t arrived yet."

Liang Yinqiu thought for a moment, then said: "Let’s get Uncle Li over here quickly, I noticed that the parents and children on the playground have already gone back."

"Okay, I’ll notify him right away." Aunt Li said as she turned and went to the kitchen to make a call on the internal phone.

Liang Yinqiu then shared a few brief Mid-Autumn Festival blessings and invited everyone to start eating.

Huang Jun picked up a sharp knife and skillfully cut into the roast lamb, and soon a plateful of tender, juicy lamb piled up.
