Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 240 - 226: Even at the Risk of Being "Poisoned", You Have to Eat It

Chapter 240: Chapter 226: Even at the Risk of Being "Poisoned", You Have to Eat It

As time passed, the kitchen gradually filled with a tantalizingly sweet aroma.

The wisps of fragrance...

Were like delicate ribbons dancing weightlessly in the air, slipping silently into the nostrils of Chef Ge and Jiang Cuiping, gently teasing their taste buds, causing their eyes to light up brightly like light bulbs.

Oh!

This aroma... smells like the real deal!

Feels... like it should be quite good!

Jiang Cuiping gently sniffed, her voice tinged with a bit of surprise, "Hey, it actually smells quite nice..."

"Indeed, it really does smell good," Chef Ge nodded repeatedly, echoing Jiang Cuiping’s words.

But who knows how the taste hidden behind this fragrance really is?

Hopefully, it’s not one of those that smells great but disappoints when tasted...

...

Liu Ruihan sat by the window, her eyes fixed on the illustrated book in her hand, completely immersed in the fascinating stories.

Suddenly.

An enticing aroma wafted into her nostrils, and she couldn’t help but sniff it like a little puppy, her eyes immediately gleaming with a hint of excitement.

Wow...

What a sweet-smelling aroma!

Really want to try it right away~

Since it smells so good... it should... taste delicious too, right?

With that thought, her mind drifted to the yet-to-be-baked custard mooncakes, and the stories in the book could no longer capture her attention.

Therefore...

She decisively put down the illustrated book, and with her slippers flapping, she trotted to the kitchen.

Without bothering to greet Chef Ge and Jiang Cuiping at the kitchen door, she directly stood at the entrance, craning her neck while eagerly asking, "Mama, can we eat the custard mooncakes now?"

Wen Xueqian heard the voice, turned around, and looking at Liu Ruihan peeking into the kitchen, she replied with a smile, "Not yet, we still need to wait a bit longer, the delicious treat requires some more patience!"

Oh... alright!"

After hearing the answer, Liu Ruihan deflated like an eggplant hit by frost, with a slight tinge of disappointment showing on her small face.

But she still endured patiently, standing quietly at the kitchen entrance, waiting in silence.

From time to time, she couldn’t help but peek into the kitchen, her eyes filled with anticipation for the soon-to-be-baked delicacy.

Waiting, waiting...

At this moment, time felt especially long for her, with every second filled with anxious waiting.

Just as her patience was running thin, and her anticipation was nearly worn out...

Finally.

The oven let out a crisp "ding," breaking the long wait instantly.

Jiang Cuiping and Chef Ge, whose hearts had been hanging in suspense, now felt a rush of anxiety.

After all, they were about to become the "guinea pigs" of this culinary experiment, and whether they would be moved to tears by the delicious surprise or feel disappointed enough to vomit was an unknown mystery.

Hopefully, it’s the former.

Otherwise, it would really be a waste of this alluring aroma...

Liu Ruihan, however, looked invigorated, her anticipation rekindled, and she eagerly asked again, "Mama, is it ready?"

"It’s ready!"

Wen Xueqian, wearing thick gloves, carefully took out a tray of golden and tempting custard mooncakes from the oven and placed them on an exquisite porcelain plate.

With each step she took, the aroma of the custard mooncakes grew stronger, and the enticing color made Liu Ruihan and Chef Ge’s mouths water.

"Madam, your custard mooncakes not only smell good but look enticing too. They must taste delicious. Your culinary skills have truly improved. I can’t wait to taste this delicious mooncake!" Chef Ge praised with a smile.

The key was to make the "golden sponsor lady" happy, not whether it was actually delicious or not.

Jiang Cuiping quickly agreed without wanting to be outdone, "That’s right, madam, your skills are indeed getting better. Just the smell alone is making my mouth water."

Indeed, their compliments worked, as a pleasant smirk appeared on Wen Xueqian’s face.

"I do feel that my culinary skills have improved quite a bit this time," Wen Xueqian, filled with confidence, invited everyone, "Come, everyone, have a taste and give some feedback."

She smiled as she handed a mooncake to the eagerly anticipating Liu Ruihan, who took it impatiently and said sweetly, "Thank you, Mama!"

"You’re welcome, sweetheart!" Wen Xueqian looked at Liu Ruihan with gentle eyes, then gracefully turned and handed the mooncakes to Jiang Cuiping and Chef Ge.

Now!

The two of them looked at the golden custard mooncake in their hands and hesitated for a moment.

Never mind, never mind!

The mooncake they praised, they would eat even with tears in their eyes...

Never mind, never mind!

As a qualified "guinea pig," even at the risk of "poisoning," one must eat...

So...

Resolutely, the two took a bite of the custard mooncake in their hands... 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The golden crisp crust crackled gently in their mouths, releasing waves of aroma.

As the flavor of the mooncake spread across their tongues...

Their expressions gradually shifted from nervousness to surprise.

"Oh my, this taste..."

A flash of amazement passed through Chef Ge’s eyes, and his worries instantly vanished like smoke.

Honestly, he didn’t expect the custard mooncakes made by his sponsor lady to taste this good.

He had initially thought that while it might not be too bad, it wouldn’t be exceptionally good either.

But reality gave him a loud slap in the face.

The mooncakes were baked to perfection, with a crispy outer crust and a soft interior. The sweetness was just right—not overly sweet nor bland. Even the creamy custard filling was so smoothly crafted, it flowed in the mouth like silk, leaving a lingering taste.

These culinary skills... are outrageously good!

Is this like having a cheat code?

Jiang Cuiping also showed a satisfied smile, closing her eyes as she savored the delicious mooncake.

She couldn’t help but exclaim, "Madam, your skills are truly amazing! Just based on your skills, you could totally open a bakery!"

Liu Ruihan, blinking her big eyes, blissfully said, "Yeah, yeah, Mommy’s custard mooncakes are really good. They’re almost like the ones we eat at the kindergarten!"

"If you think it’s good, have some more..."

The continuous praises filled Wen Xueqian’s heart with joy.

She also eagerly took a bite.

Instantly, the crispy crust and the sweet custard filling intertwined in her mouth, both rich and delightful.

It’s indeed great!

It’s indeed not worse than the ones at the kindergarten~

Who would have thought that one day, Wen Xueqian’s baking skills could be this wonderful!

All this, thanks to Huang Jun’s guidance and the videos he shared.

Indeed.

A good chef is like the best helmsman, always adept at guiding your culinary skills to higher realms, elevating your ordinary skills into praiseworthy masterpieces.

It seems...

She needs to learn more cooking skills from Huang Jun in the future. Maybe, she could easily whip up a table of delicious dishes...

While she was lost in thought.

The elevator gently chimed with a "ding," and as the doors slowly opened, Liu Shiwei walked in.

Drawn by the aroma, his eyes lit up as he asked, "Hey, what smells so good?"

Wen Xueqian smiled and responded, "Hubby, it’s custard mooncakes! You came back just in time. Want to have a taste?"

Oh~

Mooncakes?

Liu Shiwei became interested all of a sudden, "Are they from the kindergarten?"

Wen Xueqian shook her head proudly and said, "Nope, I made these mooncakes myself!"

Huh?

You made them?

Then forget it!

Having a clear estimation of his wife’s cooking skills, Liu Shiwei’s expectations plummeted like a roller coaster.

He instantly lost the courage to try them.

To avoid a potential "taste disaster," Liu Shiwei quickly waved his hand and declined, "No need, no need."

Wen Xueqian: "..."

What’s that supposed to mean?

Are you looking down on the mooncakes I made?

Wen Xueqian’s smile froze mid-air.

"Daddy, Mommy’s custard mooncakes are really tasty!" Liu Ruihan bounced over, rubbed her little tummy in front of Liu Shiwei, and said with innocent playfulness, "Look, Ruihan’s tummy is getting big from eating them!"

Seeing his daughter’s adorable expression, Liu Shiwei couldn’t help but smile, amused by the little one’s cuteness.

However, upon seeing the custard mooncake presented by his daughter, his smile froze, and he found himself in a dilemma.

But not wanting to let his precious daughter down, he reluctantly took the mooncake and started eating.

Without tasting, he didn’t know.

Once he did...

The crispy crust and silky custard filling surprised him.

Wow~

It’s quite delicious!

Talking about this, is this really his wife’s cooking level?

Amazed by the unexpected deliciousness, Liu Shiwei looked at Wen Xueqian in disbelief, "Honey, did you really make these custard mooncakes yourself?"

Wen Xueqian gave him a big, beautiful eye roll, "Of course I made them. If not me, who else?"

Liu Shiwei explained, "I didn’t mean that. I mean, how did your baking skills suddenly become so excellent!"

Wen Xueqian smiled, "It’s all thanks to Qingqing’s dad teaching well!"

Huh?

Just learning a little from Huang Jun at the kindergarten, and these culinary skills had such a leap?

Who knew that Huang Jun not only had great cooking skills himself but was also excellent at teaching others!

Thinking about this.

Should he also learn some cooking from Huang Jun?

Perhaps, through Huang Jun’s guidance, he could also elevate his cooking skills and save his so-called "terrible skills"?

"Daddy, I have something to tell you."

Liu Ruihan’s voice interrupted Liu Shiwei’s thoughts.

Liu Shiwei looked down at his precious daughter’s rosy little face, smiling he replied, "You can tell me, Ruihan."

"Daddy, can I go to Weiwei’s house to play tomorrow?" Liu Ruihan looked at Liu Shiwei expectantly, holding his hand tightly and swaying flirtatiously, "Can I, Daddy, I want to go!"
