Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 245 - 230: Making Pastries Isn’t Chef Huang’s Comfort Zone—It’s Chef Huang’s Dominion!

Chapter 245: Chapter 230: Making Pastries Isn’t Chef Huang’s Comfort Zone—It’s Chef Huang’s Dominion!

Liu Shiwei’s three-and-a-half-story villa is truly impressive, and its spaciousness is astonishing.

The interior decoration is simple yet tasteful, eschewing excessive luxury in favor of practicality and comfort, allowing people to enjoy a high-quality life while also feeling the warmth and coziness of a home.

The living room on the first floor is spacious and bright; a crystal chandelier emits a warm glow, while the soft wool carpet, carefully chosen sofas and coffee table, and renowned oil paintings on the walls all showcase the owner’s taste.

The black piano placed under the stairs adds an artistic touch to the villa.

"Chairman Liu, this villa is really luxurious, and the decoration is top-notch!" Huang Jun couldn’t help but sigh with admiration; this business tycoon truly lives up to his reputation, having such a grand family estate.

Qingqing and Weiwei’s eyes couldn’t help but wander around, shining with surprise.

They felt that Hanhan’s house was really so big, so big it seemed endless~

Liu Shiwei laughed heartily and modestly responded, "It’s alright! You’re welcome to come and visit often. As for snacks, I can’t say much else, but my home has plenty of them! I guarantee Qingqing and Weiwei will eat to their hearts’ content!"

As he spoke, he eagerly led Huang Jun’s family toward the living room.

At that moment.

There were hurried footsteps from upstairs, and Liu Ruihan excitedly ran down.

Weiwei spotted her at once and happily shouted, "Hanhan!"

Qingqing followed right after, sweetly calling out, "Hanhan!"

"Qingqing, Weiwei..."

Upon hearing the familiar voices, Liu Ruihan immediately looked up, and her gaze instantly locked onto Qingqing and Weiwei in the distance.

The excitement in her heart was beyond words...

So...

She quickened her pace, almost leaping down the last two steps.

Qingqing and Weiwei joyfully rushed forward, and the three little ones hugged tightly, bouncing up and down, their faces radiating pure, innocent smiles, happily calling each other’s names.

"Qingqing! Weiwei!"

"Hanhan!"

"Qingqing! Weiwei!"

"Hanhan!"

Liu Ruihan laughed and said, "You finally came, I’ve been waiting for you for so long~"

Weiwei and Qingqing nodded in response, "We’ve been waiting for you for so long too~"

Initially, if they felt a bit uneasy in the unfamiliar environment, that moment vanished instantly when they saw their good friend Hanhan.

"Hehe~"

Liu Ruihan sweetly smiled and said, "We can play together again!"

"Mm-hmm!" Weiwei nodded her little head like a chick pecking at grains.

Qingqing’s eyes curved, revealing two dimples.

For a moment...

The three little ones chattered away, the scene lively beyond comparison.

Huang Jun stood by, watching these lively and adorable little ones, and felt a warm wave in his heart.

Liu Shiwei and his wife looked at the three of them, their happy expressions, and their smiles became more evident.

His heart was infected with this happiness!

And he felt very gratified!

Ever since Hanhan transferred to Dorami Kindergarten, she has become much more lively and cheerful, with more smiles on her face.

Wonderful!

So wonderful!

Wen Xueqian smiled and said to Huang Jun, "Our Hanhan has been talking about your Qingqing and Weiwei since early morning, and now, finally seeing them, look at how happily they’re chatting..."

Huang Jun nodded in agreement, "Yes, our Qingqing and Weiwei also woke up early, eager for their reunion with Hanhan."

"Kids are like that; their hearts are unsettled, and they can’t sleep when something is on their minds." Wen Xueqian said gently, then warmly invited Huang Jun to sit: "Qingqing’s dad, come, please have a seat."

She then asked, "Would you like something to drink? Coffee, Tieguanyin, or Da Hong Pao? Don’t be reserved, treat this place as your own home."

Liu Shiwei also laughed and added, "Yes, don’t be restrained, just treat it like your own home."

Huang Jun casually replied, "Then Tieguanyin, please, thank you!"

"Alright, wait a moment."

Wen Xueqian got up to prepare the tea.

Sitting on the soft, comfortable leather sofa, Huang Jun pleasantly looked around, sensing the luxurious atmosphere, then remembered the gift he had specially prepared, taking out a large thermal box from his backpack.

He smiled and said to Liu Shiwei, "Chairman Liu, visiting for the first time, I didn’t know what gift to bring. I heard from our Qingqing and Weiwei that your Hanhan especially loves meat buns, so I personally made some and brought them over, hoping you will like them."

Oh!

The meat buns made by Chef Huang!

This is something you can count on!

Liu Shiwei’s eyes gleamed with delight, but he calmly said, "Oh dear, there’s no need to be so polite!"

But although he said that, his hand very honestly accepted the thoughtful gift.

Just then.

Chef Ge walked out of the kitchen and came over to them.

Seeing the young and handsome Huang Jun, he couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

He had originally thought Huang Jun, though young and promising, wouldn’t be overly young, but the Huang Jun before him was much younger than he had imagined, completely overturning his preconceived notions of a chef.

Liu Shiwei noticed Chef Ge’s pause, laughed, and introduced Huang Jun: "Chef Huang, this is our Chef Ge; his cooking is also exceptional. You two are culinary experts, bound to have much to talk about, and can exchange your insights."

Chef Ge regained his composure and, smiling, nodded at Huang Jun, extending his right hand warmly, saying: "Chef Huang, hello, I’ve long admired your reputation; it’s an honor to meet you today."

Huang Jun laughed, shook Chef Ge’s hand, and modestly replied, "Chef Ge, you’re too kind. I’ve also heard much about you and hope to have the opportunity to exchange ideas with you; I’m truly lucky to meet you today."

"Alright, alright!"

Liu Shiwei watched them exchange greetings back and forth and couldn’t help but laugh, interrupting: "Let’s not stand on ceremony, everyone relax."

Huang Jun and Chef Ge exchanged smiles.

Liu Shiwei enthusiastically greeted: "Come on, Chef Ge, you should try Chef Huang’s meat buns first, the taste is absolutely first-rate. Later, let Chef Huang taste your dishes, so he can also have a feast."

Upon hearing the word "meat buns," Chef Ge’s face instantly became somewhat unsightly, his stomach churned, and he felt a physiological sense of nausea.

Stop promoting it!

Chef Ge would rather starve or even be fired than take a bite of meat buns...

He promptly waved his hand, resolutely refusing: "No need, really no need, thank you for Chairman Liu’s kindness."

"Not eating? Not eating, you’ll regret it..."

Liu Shiwei looked at his stubbornness, a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he gave him a meaningful look, and then opened the lid of the thermos box...

The next moment...

The plump white meat buns appeared in front of everyone.

The outer skin of these buns was fine and smooth, with eighteen neat pleats surrounding a perfectly round opening.

Through this opening, you could see the shiny tender meat filling inside, gently trembling with the heat, you could even vaguely catch the scene of juices rolling within.

The most irresistible thing was, when the lid of the thermos box was opened, the accumulated rich aroma burst forth, quickly spreading, rushing straight to their noses...

This aroma melded the richness of the meat filling, the fragrance of the spices, and the slight sweet wheat aroma of the dough, intertwining to form an enchanting flavor that intoxicated...

Chef Ge, smelling the rich meat bun aroma drilling straight into his nose, couldn’t help but be stunned.

How strange?

How come suddenly he’s not nauseous anymore?

Not nauseous is one thing, but this aroma...why does it smell so enticing? The appearance...white and tender, seemingly very elastic.

Unable to resist, he sniffed hard at the aroma in the living room.

So fragrant!

Meanwhile, Liu Shiwei could no longer contain his desire to eat, eagerly grabbed a meat bun, gently squeezed, and the entire bun collapsed, showing its great elasticity.

He took a bite expectantly...

Most of it was bun skin, soaked in the oil fragrance, soft and elastic, the outer layer appeared more resilient.

With another bite...

The combination of the skin and filling exploded into unparalleled deliciousness in the mouth, far exceeding the sensation of the first bite.

The tender meat filling and springy dough perfectly blended, providing him with a taste experience like never before.

"Wow~"

Liu Shiwei kept his mouth tightly shut, his nasal cavity emitting an inexplicable sound.

At this moment, he didn’t dare open his mouth to speak, fearing that if he spoke, he’d let the wonderful meat juice escape.

He savored it carefully, the broth from the meat bun instantly filled his entire mouth, it was the minced meat hand-chopped by Huang Jun, its texture was naturally much better than machine-mixed.

In the tender pork wrap, you could also perceive the mild aroma of scallions, which wasn’t spicy but instead added a refreshing touch to the meat filling.

Along with the bun skin filled with wheat aroma, a slight sweet flavor remained at the tip of the tongue, making the deliciousness of the meat filling stand out even more.

The perfect combination of meat filling and bun skin was precisely what made these meat buns irresistibly enchanting.

Indeed.

Baking wasn’t Chef Huang’s comfort zone, it was Chef Huang’s realm of mastery!

Liu Shiwei genuinely admired Huang Jun’s craftsmanship...

But...thinking about his own "dark meat buns," ah, those unforgettable past events, it’s better not to recall them...

"Delicious, so delicious, that slightly sweet bun skin and the tender juicy meat filling, truly a perfect combination, absolutely the most delicious meat bun I’ve ever had..." Liu Shiwei couldn’t help but praise.

At this moment, Wen Xueqian walked over elegantly with brewed Tieguanyin and tempting custard mooncakes.

She gently sniffed the aroma in the air, showing a puzzled expression, and asked: "Eh? Why do I smell a meat bun aroma?"

Liu Shiwei replied with a smile: "Wife, your nose is so sharp! You caught it immediately, let me tell you, it’s the meat buns brought by Chef Huang. Wife, try some, I guarantee you’ll enjoy them."

Then he picked up a meat bun and roughly stuffed it into Wen Xueqian’s mouth.

"Mmph~"

"Wow! These meat buns are so delicious!"

Wen Xueqian’s mouth was stuffed full with buns, she could only make muffled sounds.

She took a big bite of the bun.

Instantly.

A rich meat juice exploded in her mouth, the bun skin soaked in meat juice was soft yet elastic.

With a hint of sweetness that kept her from stopping, bite after bite, soon one bun was devoured.

At that moment Wen Xueqian was once again amazed by Huang Jun’s skills.

Chef Ge watching the couple’s enthralled expression while eating, knew these meat buns must be very good.

At the same time, he was slightly tempted!

He wanted to taste the meat buns made by Huang Jun, and also wanted to see Huang Jun’s true level.

After all, for someone who also loves cooking, such an opportunity was indeed rare.

What?

What if he eats and feels nauseous?

Well...if he feels like vomiting, then let it be!

How can one grasp the essence without entering the den of a tiger? How can he know Huang Jun’s true level?

But the problem is...

Just now he had resolutely refused Chairman Liu’s kindness, how can he bring himself to ask now?

Does he have to admit to Chairman Liu that he regrets it?

That would cost him his dignity, wouldn’t it?
