Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Chapter 453 - 414: The Look That Can’t Hide the Urge to Stab Someone

Liu Shiwei, accompanied by his assistant Dong Yuantao, arrived at Dorami Kindergarten’s kitchen with a light gait, just as usual.

That’s right.

They’re here for another free meal!

After all, catching a free meal feels good for a moment, but catching free meals always feels good!

Upon entering the kitchen...

He immediately spotted Liang Yinqiu.

However...

Liang Yinqiu looked displeased, and her eyes were betrayed by a hint of "the desire to hurt someone is hard to hide."

Liu Shiwei felt a chill in his heart.

Uh, what’s going on with Director Liang?

Could she be in a bad mood?

Or...

Could it be she’s experiencing emotional fluctuations due to a female’s unique physiological cycle?

No matter the situation, caution must be exercised, lest Liang Yinqiu gets upset and they lose the chance for a free meal, which would be disastrous...

Thinking of the phrase "a smiling face is hard to hit," he immediately put on a warm smile and greeted, "Congratulations, Director Liang..."

Liang Yinqiu was slightly taken aback by Liu Shiwei’s greeting, then looked up with a puzzled expression before forcing a polite smile, "President Liu, what do you mean by congratulations?"

"I saw the ’first-class kindergarten’ plaque at your gate, that’s a huge honor!" Liu Shiwei’s smile grew brighter.

Oh~

So that’s what this is about!

Liang Yinqiu’s displeasure gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of comfort and pride. "Yes, it’s a recognition of our work and a reward for our team’s efforts."

Liu Shiwei continued, "Director Liang, this is not just a recognition of your leadership ability, but also praise for the whole team’s collaborative spirit. Achieving such an honor is indeed something worth celebrating."

Liang Yinqiu’s smile deepened, "Thank you, President Liu, we’ll continue to strive and not disappoint everyone’s expectations."

Liu Shiwei nodded with a smile, "Director Liang, we’ve seen your efforts and achievements firsthand, keep up the good work, I believe you can do even better!"

With that, he turned his gaze to the three guests across from Liang Yinqiu, who were engrossed in their meals, quickly recognizing their identities.

Oh my~

Top leaders from the Education Bureau are dining here too!

Hmm.

They probably came to present the ’first-class kindergarten’ plaque, but got invited to stay for lunch by Director Liang? Or perhaps they requested it themselves!

Considering the murderous look Liang Yinqiu gave them earlier, the latter seems more likely!

Anyway.

What did they do to make Director Liang show such an expression?

It must be too much to count...

Oh, right!

Should he greet these Education Bureau leaders?

If he proactively greets them, would that upset Director Liang?

Forget it, forget it!

Better not greet them!

After all, their eyes are only on the food now, utterly uninterested in his arrival, let alone their conversation.

Alright! Alright!

He admits!

He was indeed drawn by the leftover delicacies on their plates, compounded by the enticing aroma, leaving him eager to dive into his meal, not bothering to greet anyone.

With that energy, better hurry up and eat!

Thus...

He politely bade farewell to Liang Yinqiu, then he and Dong Yuantao eagerly proceeded to the dining area, ready to serve themselves.

As his gaze rested on the soup pot filled with alluring colors and an aromatic fragrance, he couldn’t help but look shocked, almost blurting out, "Hey, is this... Wenshi Tofu?"

"Wenshi Tofu in a kindergarten? How is that possible?" Dong Yuantao was incredulous, instinctively speculating, "President Liu, could it be just shredded tofu soup?"

In the next moment...

As he lowered his head to peer into the stainless steel soup pot...

He looked left, looked right, examined up and down, judging by its color and fragrance, the soup pot indeed held none other than Wenshi Tofu.

Don’t ask why he felt this...

Ask, it’s because he’s tasted this dish on many occasions, leaving deep impressions.

Aunt Li’s words also validated their thoughts, "Yes, Chef Huang made the Wenshi Tofu!"

"No way!" Liu Shiwei’s face lit up with surprise. Watching the soup filled with distinct strands of tofu and various garnishes, he couldn’t help but praise, "Chef Huang is really impressive! Being able to cook the grand banquet dish, Wenshi Tofu, that knife skill is truly outstanding."

"Indeed, slicing a piece of soft tofu into countless strands as thin as cow hair requires tremendous knife skills. In this aspect, Huang Jun is really skillful, I must savor it well later, it must taste great." Dong Yuantao nodded in anticipation.

"Definitely worth savouring!"

With that, Liu Shiwei took out his phone, "snap, snap," took some photos of the stainless steel soup pot, edited them slightly on his phone, and posted to his social media: Discovered Chef Huang’s exquisitely knife-skilled, colorful and aromatic Wenshi Tofu at Dorami Kindergarten today, can’t wait to taste it!

"Here, your meals!" Aunt Li handed them their served dishes.

"Thank you!"

They carried their meals over to the dining area.

Once seated...

They couldn’t wait to lift their soup bowls.

Their eyes beheld a clear broth, tofu strands, and other garnishes floating atop the soup surface, aesthetically pleasing and highly appetizing.

After gently cooling it, they spooned the soup into their mouths, the flavor fresh and savory; as the strands were finely sliced, it felt like they melted effortlessly, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.

Although the soup looked plain, after tasting it, one could perceive its outstanding nature. Soft, delicate garnish and rich chicken broth complemented each other perfectly, creating an indescribable harmony.

"Mmm, tasty..." Liu Shiwei softly sipped the soup, letting out a genuine admiration.

"Indeed, it’s delicious!" Dong Yuantao’s eyes showed appreciation, "Comparable to what we had at Purple Mountain Villa State Guesthouse!"

Liu Shiwei savored the lingering flavor, wholeheartedly expressing, "Truly, Chef Huang’s craftsmanship rivals Master Wang’s proficiency, hard to distinguish between the two."

Dong Yuantao, immersed in the delightful taste experience, added, "Chef Huang’s Wenshi Tofu not only excels in knife skills but also achieves perfect seasoning of the broth, leaving a memorable impression."

Liu Shiwei nodded, then indulged in "immersive dining," his enjoyment stamped all over his face.

Seeing this, Dong Yuantao ceased chatting.

After all, when faced with delicious food, words are redundant.

A better use of time is savoring, as letting good food go cold and compromising its flavor would be a shame.

...

Sitting at a corner of the dining area.

Lv Pengfei and Jiang Shuihan also got their meals.

Jiang Shuihan originally intended to start a live stream, sharing her joyful dining moment with fans as she did yesterday.

But her gaze inadvertently drifted toward several Education Bureau leaders dining nearby, occasionally chatting with an air of seriousness.

She quickly weighed the pros and cons internally, realizing that keeping low-key was the wiser choice in such a situation.

Turning to Lv Pengfei, she suggested, "Let’s skip the live stream today, the Education Bureau leaders are here, starting a live stream now might affect their impression of the kindergarten."

Money!

Can always be earned anytime.

Kindergarten food is not always easy to come by!

Lv Pengfei was not disappointed by giving up on streaming, instead, he nodded with a smile, "You’re thoughtful, Jiang. Eventually, we’ll stream daily, missing one day is no loss."

With that, he peacefully picked up a spoonful of crystal-clear Wenshi Tofu soup, savoring it.

At this moment...

It felt as if time froze.

He realized how wrong his previous doubts were.

This bowl of Wenshi Tofu, its intricacy and flavor far surpassed what he imagined, even outshining what he had at renowned long-established eateries in Yangzhou.

The fresh, aromatic, smooth, and tender flavors interwove and danced lightly in his mouth, delivering an unprecedented taste feast.

The delicate tofu seamlessly merging with the rich broth, each bite catered to the palate’s ultimate delight.

Lv Pengfei closed his eyes gently, letting the exquisite enjoyment linger within.

Each taste bud interaction repeatedly celebrated Huang Jun’s superb culinary skills.

Wrapped in culinary delight, Lv Pengfei deeply felt that ’eating’ was more than satiating hunger, but an art of living, a solace to the heart...
