Chapter 332: Chapter 309: Do You Know Why Officer Yue Is Looking for Me?

Hanghang’s dad’s words were like a stone thrown into Huang Jun’s heart lake, causing ripples and making him instantly plunge into deep thought.

Logically speaking.

The noodles for this iron pot stewed dish were meticulously rolled using a rolling pin produced by the system, offering a delicate and elastic texture that surely satisfies the taster’s pursuit of texture.

At the same time, he carefully followed every step of the recipe provided by the system, which should present an astounding taste and flavor.

This was fully verified in the kitchen…

Liu Suyu and others had already tasted this iron pot stewed dish, and they all nodded in praise, finding it delicious and unforgettable.

However…

Why was there a hint of regret when it reached Hanghang’s dad’s mouth?

Of course.

He knew well that with his current culinary skills, there were still many areas needing improvement.

Even the smallest flaw could be keenly noticed by some discerning diners.

Therefore.

He looked forward to Hanghang’s dad’s feedback, hoping to gain useful suggestions to further enhance his cooking skills.

Yang Yuxi and the other three teachers listened to Hanghang’s dad’s words and couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.

They had always been tasting the dishes Huang Jun made during this period.

Each time, they were utterly delicious.

How could there be talk of regret?

But upon second thought…

Everyone’s taste differs; the taste experience varies from person to person, which is quite normal.

But this doesn’t mean Huang Jun’s iron pot stewed dish isn’t delicious; rather, it’s people’s taste experience and preferences that differ.

Deep down in their hearts…

They still think Huang Jun’s cooking tastes fantastic!

Other parents curiously asked, “Yeah! Hanghang’s dad, are you saying Qingqing’s dad’s dish still has some flaws?”

Seeing everyone misunderstood him, Hanghang’s dad quickly waved his hand to explain, “Oh no, no, no, everyone misunderstood. Qingqing’s dad’s iron pot stewed dish truly tastes exceptional.”

“What I meant by regret was not the taste itself, but it felt like it was missing a clove of garlic.”

“Isn’t there a saying: ’Eating noodles without garlic, the flavor loses half!’ Gobbling noodles while munching on a few garlic cloves, that feeling is indescribable, six words for the taste: definitely more amazing!”

All the parents: “…”

Oh boy.

That’s really ’insatiable greed’, having had the privilege of tasting delicious iron pot stewed dish wasn’t enough, but still wanting a clove of garlic to enhance the flavor.

Look what you’re capable of!

Yang Yuxi and the other three teachers: “…”

Pengpeng’s dad, are you trying to scare us to death to inherit our Huabei?

Please, next time say things clearly all at once, don’t make us anxious and uneasy due to uncertainty, our hearts can’t endure such torment!

Huang Jun: “…”

Hmm, the ’regret’ that was promised?

Just this?

He suddenly felt a ’I’ve prepared to listen carefully, and this is all you give me to hear?’ sense of powerlessness.

However, his worried heart suddenly felt at ease.

“Hanghang’s dad is a foodie too!”

He chuckled and said, “Indeed, ’eating noodles without garlic, the flavor loses half’, this was my oversight, I forgot to prepare garlic for everyone, but fortunately, there’s still stock in the kitchen, I’ll get some later.”

“Qingqing’s dad, no need to bother, going out of your way for this? I was just casually saying.” Hanghang’s dad didn’t expect his words to be taken so seriously by Huang Jun, feeling touched yet somewhat embarrassed for troubling him.

“No worries, I’ll be returning to the kitchen later to fetch some things, and I’ll bring some along by the way.” Huang Jun replied with a smile.

“That’s really appreciated! Sorry for the bother, Qingqing’s dad.”

Hanghang’s dad sincerely thanked, facing the subtle expressions around him, he merely chuckled and happily continued eating, scooping a big mouthful of iron pot stewed dish contentedly.

The noodles were soft but not mushy, imbued with rich sauce flavor, and the potatoes were soft and glutinous…

Getting tastier with each bite…

Hanghang’s dad couldn’t stop eating.

Beside him, after drinking a few sips of egg drop soup to whet his appetite, Hanghang looked up only to see the stewed noodles in the plate almost swept clean by his dad, leaving just a few stray noodles.

His eyes widened, his mouth slightly drooping, looking like he was about to burst into tears the next second.

At that moment…

He regretted having suggested letting dad taste it!

“Daddy!”

Hearing his son calling him, Hanghang’s dad quickly turned his head, seeing his son with a near crying little face.

Ah~

Oops!

He actually forgot this plate of iron pot stewed dish was his son’s…

Realizing this, he immediately comforted quietly, “Don’t cry, don’t cry, after school dad will take you to the toy store to pick a toy you like, it’s just a plate of noodles, no need for tears, besides, you can always ask the teacher to add more after eating!”

Luckily, the little guy called him before crying, giving him a chance to coax and persuade.

Otherwise, if he really cried in junior class (4), Hanghang’s dad would probably become ’famous’ in the class.

Hanghang blinked, thought for a moment, and said, “But dad, if adding more, there might not be any left…”

“Hmm…later when dad’s portion comes, I’ll definitely share some with you.” Hanghang’s dad helplessly conceded.

Nearby, Miaomiao’s dad was also mooching off his daughter’s lunch, but his approach was more restrained, only sampling a big bite of each dish.

A mere taste!

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to taste more, but knowing that mooching more, he would face a tough outcome.

His precious girl would definitely cry for him to see.

It really feels like “hitching a meal from your daughter is fun for a moment, but coaxing her later is like a crematorium”…

However, today turned out to be the right day to come!

He was enjoying the fragrant iron-pot braised noodles and the smooth egg drop soup, finding every bite especially delicious.

Why didn’t I have such a fairy-tale kindergarten when I was a child?

Thinking that after this lunch, it might be hard to have such an opportunity to eat at the kindergarten again, Miaomiao’s dad suddenly felt he was born at the wrong time.

Next to him, Liu Qiangtao watched his daughter Yuanyuan, who was seriously eating the iron-pot braised noodles with a spoon, occasionally sipping the egg drop soup, her face filled with satisfaction and joy.

Even though he was sitting next to her, Yuanyuan didn’t coquettishly demand him to feed her like she did at home.

This independent and focused dining posture was completely different from the impression of the little girl who always needed her family to feed her.

Indeed.

There’s no child who doesn’t love to eat.

If there is!

It’s because the food doesn’t suit their taste!

Liu Qiangtao was deeply moved by this scene. He couldn’t help but take out his phone and start recording the entire moment, intending to share this joy with his wife and mother at home.

But as he recorded…

Watching the little one eating so deliciously made him even hungrier…

Unfortunately…

Yuanyuan was focused on eating and didn’t notice his longing look at all!

Plus, he was too shy to directly ask Yuanyuan for food in public and felt embarrassed to start eating himself.

Just as he was swallowing his saliva crazily, the teachers finally brought over the parents’ portion of the meal.

“Thank you!”

Liu Qiangtao thanked them, then eagerly picked up a chopstick full of iron-pot braised noodles and put it in his mouth.

The chewy texture of the noodles and the rich aroma of the sauce perfectly blended on the tip of his tongue, and every bite was a burst of satisfaction.

The braised noodles were very chewy, and each noodle broke with the right amount of elasticity and chewiness, yet they weren’t difficult to chew at all. The elasticity was perfectly balanced, making it easy to swallow while enjoying the chewy texture.

The fresh aroma of the pork belly, the crisp and tender green beans, the soft and sticky potatoes, and the sweet carrots, all of these flavors and textures intertwined in the braised noodles, creating an irresistible taste experience.

Then a spoonful of egg drop soup.

The egg drop was delicate and smooth, and the soup was crystal clear. Every sip was filled with the fragrance and freshness of eggs.

A bite of braised noodles, a spoonful of egg drop soup, it was so delicious that he couldn’t stop eating.

In the classroom, children and adults were gathered together, surprisingly harmonious and quiet. Huang Jun turned and saw all the parents eating non-stop, nodding as they ate, their faces showing satisfied smiles.

They were obviously very pleased with the lunch!

This finally put Huang Jun’s mind at ease.

How could the parents not be satisfied? Whether it was the braised noodles or the side dishes, they were all delicious, even the seemingly ordinary egg drop soup was fresh and tasty, which undoubtedly enhanced their trust and recognition of the kindergarten kitchen.

“Ruihan is really awesome! When we get home, you should eat by yourself and not be picky, okay?”

Wen Xueqian witnessed Liu Ruihan’s performance in kindergarten. She could not only eat independently but also wasn’t picky about food. Whether it was meat slices, potatoes, green beans, or even carrots, which she usually didn’t like, she ate them all with gusto.

This made her want to take Qingqing’s dad home.

After she finished her portion, she still felt wanting more but was too embarrassed to ask the teachers for more.

Coincidentally, she saw Ruihan holding her plate and going to Teacher Wang Wenxia to get more iron-pot braised noodles.

Thinking that she was sitting right next to Ruihan, a plan formed in her mind.

So…

She quietly used the other end of her chopsticks, secretly reaching for Liu Ruihan’s plate. At the right moment, she swiftly and accurately picked up a small portion of the iron-pot braised noodles and deftly put it in her mouth.

The other parents were stunned for a moment, then showed surprised expressions.

Wow!

What a smooth move!

So this is the correct way to use chopsticks?!

Then.

The surrounding parents suddenly had an epiphany, and then they all began to imitate, secretly using the other end of their chopsticks to take the iron-pot braised noodles from their children’s plates.

And they hit the mark every time!

The parents who succeeded ate joyfully, but the little ones couldn’t help but have a big question mark rise in their little heads.

Clearly, their parents’ plates had been empty for a long time, so why were they still eating?

How strange!

…

Liang Yinqiu walked slowly along the corridor of the classroom.

Every time she passed by a class, she would look through the window to see the parents’ and children’s satisfied expressions while enjoying lunch, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes.

Indeed, as she expected, with Huang Jun in charge, the parents were very satisfied with the kindergarten lunch.

Then, feeling envious and hungry herself, she decided to turn around and head to the kitchen for a meal.

She had just reached the kitchen door…

Before she could greet Liu Suyu and the others!

Her phone rang suddenly.

She picked up her phone and looked; the caller ID showed it was Uncle Li.

“Huh? Why is Uncle Li calling me at this time?” Curious, Liang Yinqiu lightly swiped the phone screen to answer the call.

“Hello… Uncle Li, do you need something from me?”

On the other end, Uncle Li’s voice was unusually urgent: “Director Liang, Officer Yue is here. He is now at the kindergarten entrance and wants to see you. You better come over quickly!”

Hearing this news, a wave of unease surged in Liang Yinqiu’s heart.

She hurriedly asked, “Uncle Li, do you know why Officer Yue is looking for me?”

Uncle Li replied, “It’s something that can’t be explained over the phone. You better come over personally!”

“Okay, I understand. I’ll come over right away…”
