Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten
Chapter 426 - 391: The Temptation of Rewards Is Huge!
"Wow..."
When the Tiger Mochi was delivered to each classroom, the entire school building was instantly filled with the delightful cheers of the children.
Seeing this scene!
All the teachers remained calm.
They had long prepared tricks up their sleeves to handle these little ones, and they never failed.
Class 4.
Yang Yuxi clapped her hands and smiled gently, saying, "Kids, who wants to eat the Tiger Mochi?"
"Me!"
The children’s hands shot up like a small forest, eagerly raised, with faces full of anticipation and excitement.
Yang Yuxi continued to guide them: "What should the kids who want to eat do?"
Saying this, she bent slightly, playfully placed a hand by her ear as if listening intently, making the children even more focused as they all answered in unison: "Sit properly!"
"Great!" Yang Yuxi nodded with satisfaction, her eyes showing a hint of approval: "Then please, children, use your best posture to welcome the delicious Tiger Mochi!"
As soon as she finished speaking.
The children immediately sat up straight, hands on their knees, their eyes sparkling with anticipation, like little soldiers waiting for orders, ready to enjoy the feast.
"The kids are all great!" Yang Yuxi, along with Xie Jianing and other teachers, distributed the Tiger Mochi to each child’s hands, introducing, "Children, today’s snack is Tiger Mochi, kids please..."
The children couldn’t wait, eagerly responding: "Kids please eat!"
This eager chorus of childish voices made every teacher present chuckle.
The next second...
The children carefully picked up the Tiger Mochi from the plate, placed it in their palms, examining it from all angles, admiring this delicate snack.
Absolutely delightful!
"Wow, it’s amazing, look, its ears can move!" Lin Yipeng exclaimed, pointing at the vivid little ears on the Mochi, couldn’t help but poke at it gently, the soft sensation making him laugh out loud, his eyes sparkling with the excitement of discovering something new.
Qingqing clasped her hands together, carefully holding the Mochi in her palms, her face full of admiration for the "little tiger" and pride in her father’s skill: "Daddy is amazing, making such a lifelike tiger, it looks even cuter than the tigers in the zoo!"
Weiwei’s eyes sparkled with liveliness; after a brief thought, she excitedly suggested: "Such a cute little tiger, we should give it a name!"
Saying this, she turned to look at Yang Yuxi, as if seeking her approval.
Yang Yuxi would never stifle the children’s longing and expectation for beauty.
She smiled, walked over, gently patted Weiwei’s head: "Of course, you can, Weiwei, name it with your favorite name, let it be a special memory between you."
This moment.
The children’s imagination and creativity were ignited, and they began to chatter.
"Let’s call it ’Little Tiger’!"
"No, I think ’Snowball’ sounds better!"
"I like the name ’Ah Huang’!"
"How about calling it ’Candy’, sweet as it is!"
"..."
Indeed, each name was full of the children’s endless love and tender feelings for this snack.
"Yes, the names the kids have come up with are all lovely." Yang Yuxi gently praised, then reminded everyone: "Okay, now we can start tasting our Tiger Mochi. Remember, eat slowly, savor it, and feel its every bit of sweetness and softness."
The children nodded, then they began to take small bites, afraid of eating the delicious treat all at once.
The soft, glutinous skin and sweet filling of the Mochi slowly melted in the children’s small mouths, each bite like a cloud melting away, enveloped in sweet flavor.
"Hmm~ so delicious!"
The children voiced their satisfaction as they ate, their faces beaming with happiness, their little heads swaying side to side, immersed in this wonderful taste experience.
Yuanyuan happily raised her little foot, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "Qingqing, Weiwei, can your dad make this for us again tomorrow?"
"Yes, Qingqing, Weiwei, have your dad make this tomorrow too, I want to eat this again tomorrow!" Liu Ruihan chimed in, tilting his little head.
"Hmm..."
Qingqing and Weiwei were in a bind, showing a hint of apology on their little faces.
After all, their dad had said the kindergarten menu was arranged in advance, and you can’t just make whatever you want.
Rules should not be broken!
Of course, the children were so fond of the Tiger Mochi their dad made, which made them genuinely happy.
Even happier than being praised themselves!
"Tomorrow has its own delicacies, next time let Qingqing’s dad make it again for you." Yang Yuxi smiled to help ease the situation.
Yuanyuan and Liu Ruihan puffed their cheeks, reluctantly nodding: "Oh!"
"Alright, alright, no talking while eating desserts, or you might choke." Yang Yuxi gently advised, then brought out the trump card: "If you eat your dessert without talking, the teacher will reward you with a little extra later."
The temptation of a reward was strong!
The children at the table instantly quieted down, each holding their Tiger Mochi and continued eating blissfully, joyfully swinging their little feet, gently shaking their heads.
Seeing this, Yang Yuxi took out her phone to capture videos of the children, posting them in the class group chat so the parents could see how their kids were doing at the kindergarten.
"Miss Yang, here~"
Xie Jianing handed a Tiger Mochi to Yang Yuxi after she was done.
"Thank you! I’m really craving this!"
Yang Yuxi smiled as she took it, eagerly taking a big bite.
At that moment...
The soft, smooth glutinous rice skin gently bounced between her teeth, releasing a unique blend of softness and elasticity, as if she was enveloped in a gentle cloud.
This texture, akin to the softness and chewiness of a glutinous rice dumpling, was enchanting.
Then, the creamy fragrance and sweetness surged into her mouth like a tidal wave, the silky smoothness sliding gently across her taste buds, bringing an endless feast of smoothness.
Within the silky cream, there was a piece of juicy mango flesh, perfectly balancing the sour and sweet taste, intertwining harmoniously with the sweetness of the cream, like a summer breeze mingling with ocean waves, bringing a refreshing sense of joy.
Yang Yuxi closed her eyes, fully indulging in this wonderful dance from her taste buds.
Mm~
This taste is simply delightful...
"So delicious! Qingqing’s dad really is a treasure chef, everything he makes is so tasty." Yang Yuxi admired while enjoying the delicious snow cake, "I get anxious if I don’t eat it for a day..."
"Who wouldn’t agree!" Xie Jianing shared the same sentiment, immediately asking curiously, "Oh, by the way, Miss Yang, why were you looking for Chef Huang during the morning activity?"
"It’s nothing much, just wanted to invite him out this weekend." Yang Yuxi said nonchalantly.
"Huh? Did you just say you invited Qingqing’s dad?" Xie Jianing looked surprised, her eyes wide, then lowered her voice teasingly, "What’s this about? Could it be that you really fancy Qingqing’s dad?"
"..."
Yang Yuxi’s face blushed a little, paused, and then explained, "What are you thinking? I just wanted to express my gratitude by inviting Qingqing’s dad and his family out for some fun."
"Ah..." Xie Jianing responded, then immersed herself in her own imagination, showing a teasing auntie grin, "Tsk... even meeting privately for a date, you two are progressing fast!"
Yang Yuxi: "..."
Alright then!
Miss Xie’s ears might not be functioning well, can’t understand a word of human language!
...
The kids in the lower class were savoring the snacks in small bites, enjoying the amazing flavors.
The pace of eating wasn’t fast or rushed, making the scene warm and orderly.
Meanwhile, the kids in the middle and upper classes upstairs were reluctant to eat such adorable snacks at first, but once they started tasting them, they couldn’t stop.
They were almost scrambling for it!
"Teacher, I finished, I want another cute tiger snow cake."
"Teacher, please give me more snacks!"
"Teacher, I want the cute tiger’s head snow cake, not the tiger’s tail one."
"..."
Seeing some kids were asking for seconds, those who hadn’t finished their snacks sped up their chewing, eagerly raising their hands to ask for more.
"Me too, me too..."
Mm!
The typical "looking at the one in the pot while eating from the bowl."
The caregivers were overwhelmed by the kids’ noise. Originally wanting to refuse their requests, but seeing there were still some cute tiger snow cakes left in the stainless steel pan, knowing the kids wouldn’t be satisfied until they got them.
So they had to distribute them to those who raised their hands, so they wouldn’t keep thinking about it.
The homeroom teachers and the assistant teachers were also busy, continuously reminding, "Kids, don’t take such big bites, eat slowly. Otherwise, you’ll easily choke."
Even though the teachers kept reminding them, the kids nodded in agreement but didn’t actually slow down, still taking big bites, with satisfied smiles on their faces.
As a result...
This morning snack session ended ten minutes earlier, setting a new record in the kindergarten’s routine...
Previously, the kids ate too slowly, and the teachers had to keep urging them, which was quite frustrating.
Now, the kids’ love for delicious food greatly accelerated their eating speed, causing a different kind of frustration for the teachers.
No matter fast or slow, it’s a source of constant concern...
"Sigh, we used to urge them to eat faster all the time. Who would’ve thought it would be the opposite this semester, and now we have to keep telling them to eat slower every day." Cai Jingxian leaned against the door, with a slight wry smile.
Indeed.
She felt gratified by the children’s progress, yet felt helpless about this new issue.
But no matter what, it’s a good thing, indicating the children have more interest and enthusiasm for food...
"Who wouldn’t agree!" Zheng Yujia chimed in, her eyes shining with admiration for the food, "But today, Chef Huang’s morning snack, the cute tiger snow cake, was indeed delicious and also looked fantastic!"
She said this while gently wiping the corners of her mouth with a napkin, relishing the delightful taste of the snack.
...
Education Bureau Building.
Inside the Deputy Director’s office.
Wan Zhenhong sat behind his spacious desk, holding a cellphone, and focused on browsing the videos shared by Miss Yang in his daughter’s class group.
In the videos, the children’s cheerful laughter and love for the cute tiger snow cake seemed to reach through the screen, and that pure joy glowed like a warm spring breeze, brightening his mood.
Watching...
His gaze lingered on the cute tiger snow cake in his daughter’s hand...
The soft, sticky outer layer, the sweet filling, each bite seemed full of happiness...
Indeed!
His mouth watered!
At the same time, he started to miss Huang Jun’s culinary skills...
"Ah, it’s been a while since I tasted Chef Huang’s cooking, I really want to have a meal to satisfy my craving!" he murmured.
But here lies the problem!
What reason can he find to justifiably enter the kindergarten to taste it?
His thoughts began to churn: "Well, considering the time, today the results of Dorami Kindergarten’s grading review should be in, how about I volunteer to deliver the results and related certificates personally, and conveniently... hehehe..."
In this way, he can complete the work and quench his longing for Huang Jun’s cooking in one go...
Desire led to action naturally!
He immediately put away the phone and got up to head to the director’s office.
