Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 196 - 183: Expressing Their Dissatisfaction and Demands to Director Liang

Chapter 196: Chapter 183: Expressing Their Dissatisfaction and Demands to Director Liang

Midday.

Sunlight slanted through every corner of the Scenic Garden District, with golden rays weaving through the lush trees, casting mottled shadows.

In the Liu family home, Unit 1, Apartment 802 of Building 8, a variety of homemade dishes were meticulously arranged on the dining table.

The braised pork was glossy and enticing, exuding a tantalizing aroma; the steamed fish was tender and juicy, a gentle pinch revealed its smooth texture, and the broth was so clear; there were also the vibrant green vegetables and the golden shredded potatoes...

Despite the abundance of dishes, which looked quite appealing!

Li Xiuxian, however, silently gazed at the food, not feeling particularly inclined to taste it.

The reason.

Wasn’t it just because she had tasted Huang Jun’s delicious meals a few days ago!

That texture, that taste...

Tsk tsk tsk~

Simply a masterpiece of this world!

Every time she remembered, it was unforgettable.

So much so that these days, eating these home-cooked meals, although still tasty, always felt like something was missing...

Hmm.

It felt like a kind of soulful void!

Gone was the sense of satisfaction and happiness...

Ah!

Truly, without comparison, there is no harm! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

If it weren’t for Liu Qiangtao needing to come home for lunch, she and her mother-in-law wouldn’t even bother to cook, just eat some fruit or bread to get by.

Indeed.

These days, three meals a day, for her, were purely to maintain life, each bite was like a routine going into her mouth, mechanically chewed, lacking that passion and expectation for food.

Xu Caihong felt the same way!

In the past, her demands for food were simple and humble, as long as it filled her belly, she felt content.

But ever since tasting Huang Jun’s cooking...

Her perspective underwent a radical transformation.

At that moment, she truly realized that food was not just something to satisfy the appetite, but a magical existence that could touch the taste buds and soothe the soul.

But by the time she realized this, it was too late.

Because such wonderful flavors are hard to come by again...

They can only become distant memories!

Who understands this pain?

Who understands this sense of loss that money can’t buy?

Actually...

The daughter-in-law did come up with a new way to freeload.

That is...

Whenever it was close to the kindergarten’s meal time, she could go to the kindergarten, find an excuse, such as "Yuanyuan is just recovering and needs to go home to take some medicine, so she won’t eat at the kindergarten," and then ask the teacher to pack Yuanyuan’s meal so they could take it home together.

This way, they could also enjoy the delicious kindergarten meals.

The idea sounded really tempting.

It was heart-moving.

But just... a bit underhanded!

Xu Caihong, who always adored Yuanyuan, really couldn’t bear to do something so unethical just to satisfy her own cravings!

In her view, she could endure hardship, but not let her granddaughter suffer.

However, Li Xiuxian thought, why should the child suffer while she did?

After all, the child is young and will have plenty of opportunities to taste delicacies in the future, while she is getting older, and the opportunities are getting fewer...

Yet because her mother-in-law firmly opposed it, she didn’t dare to put this plan into action.

Put on hold!

Xu Caihong sighed helplessly, a trace of worry between her brows: "Ah, as the saying goes, ’Man is iron, rice is steel, one meal missed makes you weak,’ since it’s made, we should eat some, otherwise it would be wasted, let’s eat, let’s eat, Xiuxian..."

Li Xiuxian responded with a smile: "Mom, no rush, let’s wait for Qiangtao to come back, then we can eat together..."

"Alright!"

Xu Caihong nodded in agreement, then remembered something: "Xiuxian, when is Yuanyuan’s kindergarten having the ’Cafeteria Open Day’ event?"

Got it!

It’s clear! The mother-in-law wants to use the excuse of attending the kindergarten’s ’Cafeteria Open Day’ event to rightfully eat the kindergarten meals!

But the problem is...

Li Xiuxian also wants to attend this event!

Just as Mr. Lu Xun once said: your competition may not only come from other parents in the kindergarten, sometimes, it might come from family!

This saying is indeed reasonable!

Thinking this, her sense of crisis deepened.

But speaking of which.

Recently, why haven’t there been any news about the ’Cafeteria Open Day’ event?

Could it be that the kindergarten secretly decided on it?

Shouldn’t... be?

Li Xiuxian shook away the chaotic thoughts in her mind, shook her head and said: "Mom, I don’t know when it will be held either... the teacher hasn’t informed the parent group, so it probably hasn’t happened yet... However, this ’Cafeteria Open Day’ event is really attracting a lot of attention from parents, and I heard that each class only has one parent spot, so it might be difficult to participate."

"Even if it’s difficult, we should strive for it. What if the opportunity really falls on us?

Xu Caihong, after hearing this, pondered for a while and then said slowly: "As the saying goes, ’For someone who eats, their mouth is soft, for the one who takes, their hand is short,’ why don’t we consider giving Miss Yang and the others some gifts, let them take care of us, and give us the spot?"

Li Xiuxian: "(○o○)"

Never expected that her mother-in-law, who always opposed gift-giving, would be willing to change her principles just to taste the kindergarten food.

Speaking of.

Did the sun rise from the west today?

She instinctively glanced towards the direction of the window, then raised a key question: "Mom, but there’s only one spot, even if Miss Yang and the others are willing to give that spot to our family, who should actually go?"
