Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 274 - 259: The Longest Road Walked Is Huang Jun’s Schemes!

Chapter 274: Chapter 259: The Longest Road Walked Is Huang Jun’s Schemes!

"Qingqing’s dad... when will you make delicious rewards for Yuanyuan again? Will we be able to eat it when we come back from vacation?"

After finishing her "Saliva Panda Lava Button Cake", Yuanyuan still felt unsatisfied. So as soon as the delicious reward was in her stomach, she was already thinking about the next one.

Even though she didn’t speak loudly, it caught the attention of the other children.

They gathered around, curiously poking their little heads in, looking at Huang Jun with hopeful faces.

Yeah, yeah...

They also wanted to know when the next delicious reward would come.

Preferably, they could eat it right when they get back from vacation!

Even the parents couldn’t help but perk up their ears when they heard this.

At this moment.

It left Huang Jun at a loss!

This question, he hadn’t even thought about it...

Seeing the expectant eyes of the children, he couldn’t bear to directly refuse, lest the little ones get upset and start crying.

If that happened...

It would be a headache to comfort them.

He didn’t want to trouble himself.

So then...

He could only chuckle and say, "Well, when you all have to go on stage and perform again, Uncle Huang will make it for you, okay?"

Ha, well played~

Truly the master of painting cakes in the park!

He’s pushing it far enough... the kids won’t be performing again until the New Year activities, right?!

Yang Yuxi and Xie Jianing listened and couldn’t help but think how under Huang Jun’s handsome exterior lies a heart that loves to mislead others.

Thinking back to how they fell for Huang Jun’s tricks, naively believing they got a great deal, and were as happy as a 200-pound person, it’s really laughable and makes them shake their heads...

The longest road they’ve walked is Huang Jun’s routine!

But.

This batch of kids is much sharper and not easy to fool...

Yuanyuan’s little head raised a big question mark and with an "I don’t understand, so I’ll ask" look, she asked, "Qingqing’s dad, when is that?"

Huang Jun: "..."

Yuanyuan, are you about to become the "ten thousand whys," constantly asking until you get a satisfactory answer?

This is something he could foresee...

Thinking about being chased by a bunch of kids asking questions, just the thought gives him a headache...

To avoid the impending "question battle"...

Huang Jun decided to pass the "hot potato" to Miss Yang and Miss Xie beside him.

He smiled and said to Yuanyuan, "Uncle Huang isn’t sure about the exact time either. You should ask Miss Yang and Miss Xie, they should know better, because after all, they are teachers and are familiar with the school’s activities."

"Oh~ Then I’ll go ask Miss Yang and Miss Xie..."

Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up, and she immediately turned and ran towards Yang Yuxi and Xie Jianing,

seeing this, the other children followed along.

At this moment.

Huang Jun’s world turned peaceful, but Xie Jianing and Yang Yuxi’s world turned utterly chaotic.

"Miss Yang, when is our next performance?"

"Yeah, yeah, Miss Yang, when is the next performance?"

"..."

Faced with the children’s chirping questions, Yang Yuxi felt a sense of helplessness and glanced resentfully at the "perpetrator" not far away—Huang Jun.

Unfortunately.

At that moment, Huang Jun was cozying up with his two precious daughters and completely ignored the commotion here, not noticing her resentful look at all.

Yang Yuxi pouted in dissatisfaction and once again directed her gaze at Huang Jun, hoping he would sense her displeasure.

As a result, Huang Jun seemed to notice, just turning his head, and their eyes met unexpectedly in the air...

This sudden eye contact left Huang Jun momentarily stunned.

Then he nodded at her and gave her his signature handsome smile.

Yang Yuxi couldn’t help but be stunned as well.

Seeing Huang Jun smile at her, she instinctively lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, her face felt hot.

As if she had been scalded!

But the next second, she quickly realized—no, no, why should she feel embarrassed? He’s the one who threw the trouble at her; she should be using her eyes to express her displeasure, so why does it seem like she’s guilty like a thief now?

No way!

She must let him know she’s unhappy!

She quickly adjusted her mindset, raising her head to stare at Huang Jun more determinedly.

However...

The response she got... was only Huang Jun’s perfect modeled profile.

Great!

All her pent-up emotions were in vain, all her resentful gazes were in vain...

Listening to the children’s continued questioning, she snapped back to reality and replied with a smile, "Probably New Year’s Day!"

"Oh, New Year’s Day... is that still far away?" Yuanyuan blinked curiously.

Yang Yuxi patiently explained, "A little over two months to go!"

"Miss Yang, how many days are there in two months?" Qianqian asked, puzzled.

Yang Yuxi responded with a smile, "About sixty days..."

This number was too abstract for the children.

They began counting on their fingers, but their lack of familiarity with numbers, coupled with too few fingers, meant they all gave up around five or ten.

"It’s so hard to count..." Yuanyuan’s little face scrunched up like a dumpling, and she muttered, "Miss Yang, sixty days is too many, can’t we start the performance activities a bit earlier?..."

Qianqian nodded vigorously, her eyes full of expectation, "Yeah, Miss Yang, can we start the New Year performance earlier? I love performing in shows the most!"

Yang Yuxi: "..."

You really talk a good game...

Is it really the performance you love?

You’re clearly craving Huang Jun’s delicious food rewards, aren’t you...

And, kids, you should be thankful...

Sixty days isn’t much at all!

Teachers have to wait way longer for Goddess Day and Teacher’s Day!

We end up looking exhausted from all the waiting!

To quell the children’s endless questioning, Yang Yuxi and Xie Jianing had to announce to the kids, "Children, today’s National Day activities are coming to an end, it’s time to go home with your parents~"

This announcement...

Completely quashed any further questioning from the children.

Though somewhat reluctant, they understood they needed to follow their teacher’s instructions and obediently took their parents’ hands, waving goodbye to their friends, saying "Bye-bye" and "See you."

Parents also thanked Miss Yang and Miss Xie, and warmly greeted and bid farewell to Huang Jun.

"Qingqing’s dad, thank you so much today for making the delicious food for the kids, it was such a big effort for you."

"Yes, Qingqing’s dad, your cooking is amazing, the kids enjoyed it so much. Unfortunately, we already have plans for this National Day; otherwise, we would really love to find a time to gather and share parenting tips. Maybe then Qingqing’s dad could teach us some parenting secrets to learn from you as well."

"That’s a great idea! We should definitely organize a parent networking event so we can exchange ideas, get some tips from Qingqing’s dad, and if possible, taste his cooking too!"

"..."

Listening to the parents, Huang Jun felt quite pleased initially, but upon hearing the last comment, he instantly understood: they were more interested in tasting his food than anything else; the parent networking event was just an excuse.

He smiled but said nothing, watching as the parents and children left with a hint of disappointment.

Liu Shiwei smiled and patted Huang Jun on the shoulder, "Brother Huang, when I get back from my trip abroad, let’s have a gathering like the one on Mid-Autumn Festival. You have no idea, that apprentice of mine, Chef Ge, keeps talking about you, hoping to learn some cooking skills from you. He truly regards you as a master, that admiration is genuine..."

Huang Jun: "..."

That Chef Ge...

He’s really persistent!

He still hasn’t given up and is thinking about becoming his disciple...

The Wan Zhenhong couple and teachers like Yang Yuxi expressed astonishment when they heard Liu Shiwei’s words, as if they understood each word Liu Shiwei said, but together, it made no sense to them.

Wait a minute.

Did they miss out on some exciting drama?

Could someone enlighten them about this blind spot?

Wan Zhenhong looked at Liu Shiwei and curiously asked, "Chairman Liu, may I ask, what’s this about a disciple and master? Has Chef Huang taken on an apprentice?"

"Actually, Chef Huang hasn’t taken on any apprentices." Liu Shiwei explained, "My Chef Ge really admires Brother Huang’s culinary skills and wanted to become his apprentice, but Brother Huang politely refused. However, Chef Ge is very persistent; even though he hasn’t formally apprenticed, he has regarded Brother Huang as his master in his heart, always hoping one day to become a direct disciple..."

Hearing this, the Wan Zhenhong couple and teachers like Yang Yuxi almost dropped their jaws to the ground.

After all, a chef serving a wealthy family must have pretty decent skills.

But even he was impressed by Huang Jun’s cooking and wanted to take him as a master, which says a lot about Huang Jun’s culinary skills surpassing his...

It seems... in just a few days’ absence, Chef Huang’s skills have certainly improved significantly.

What a pity!

They couldn’t enjoy Huang Jun’s cooking these days...

Yang Yuxi felt this regret deeply...

Wan Zhenhong felt regret too but more so helplessness.

There wasn’t a way for him to enjoy Huang Jun’s cooking any time he wished!

Even his daughter, whom he worked hard to send to the area, hasn’t had the fortune to taste it these days; it’s truly regrettable...

"So that’s it! Who would’ve thought that besides being a culinary genius, Chef Huang is also an excellent teacher!" Wan Zhenhong praised, then with a smile, invited Huang Jun, "Chef Huang, when you’re back from your National Day travels, let’s find a time to get together, shall we?"

Hey, Director Wan, are you eyeing Huang Jun too?!

Worried that their scheduled gatherings might clash, preventing him from extending an invitation, Liu Shiwei suggested with a laugh, "How about this, Director Wan, why don’t the three of us families gather together?"

"Sure! I have no problem with that."

With that, everyone looked at Huang Jun.

Huang Jun smiled and said, "Director Wan, Brother Liu, let’s talk about the gathering when there’s a chance!"

Got it~

Understood!

He has other plans!

They wouldn’t press further!
