Chapter 470 - 431: He Seems to Have… Really Lost!
"Kids, you’re in the wrong place, our dining area is over there..."
While Lin Jiayi from Hu Jin Kindergarten was also tempted by the alluring color, she didn’t forget her little responsibility. She immediately called out, trying to guide her kindergarten’s children back in the right direction.
Unfortunately...
Her call was ignored by the kids from Hu Jin Kindergarten.
They still ran excitedly into the dining area of Dorami Kindergarten, their eyes instantly captivated by the plates of enticing roasted piglet meat.
The amber-colored skin and the slightly visible meat juices stimulated their sight and smell.
"Wow, this roasted Peppa Pig looks really tasty!" a little boy, Liu Yuhang, stared without blinking, with a line of glistening saliva unconsciously dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"I want to eat too!"
The little girl Chen Xinyun next to him nodded vigorously, her small hand involuntarily reaching out, her fingertips hesitating to touch the roasted piglet meat so close by.
Seeing this scene.
The other children from Hu Jin Kindergarten grew bolder too, stretching out their small hands toward the nearest plate beside them...
The next second...
The children from Dorami Kindergarten instantly displayed a rather adorable "territorial sense", all reaching out their small hands to tightly guard the plates in front of them, not allowing the Hu Jin kids to touch them.
"This is ours! You’re not allowed to touch!"
"Yeah! You’re not from our kindergarten, you can’t eat it~"
"This was made by Qingqing’s dad for us, not for you!"
"That’s right, Chef Huang specially made it for us to eat. If you want to eat, go back to your own place and eat your own food. We don’t even have enough for ourselves..."
"..."
Faced with the food-guarding behavior of the Dorami kids, the Hu Jin kids didn’t show anger, just paused briefly, and then retracting their yearning little hands with a hint of disappointment in their eyes, but more so with unlimited longing for the roasted piglet.
"But... but it really looks so delicious..." Liu Yuhang couldn’t help swallowing, staring intently at those guarded plates, as if trying to gaze through the protection layer to see the delicious food again.
Chen Xinyun’s little tongue unwittingly licked the corner of her mouth, her eyes shimmering with a pleading light: "Can I have a little taste? The teacher said that kids should learn to share..."
It made so much sense that the Dorami kids couldn’t refute it.
But the problem is...
They didn’t want to share...
What should they do now?
Their little faces were filled with conflict and hesitation, their small hands unconsciously clenching and releasing as they contemplated whether to share a bit.
Liang Yinqiu and Yang Yuxi, along with other teachers, watched this scene, feeling amused but also unable to persuade their kindergarten kids to share.
After all, the portions weren’t plenty to begin with!
Besides, the other kindergarten had prepared their own roast piglet, no need for them to make an unnecessary gesture of sharing.
Could even end up being disliked!
Just as Liang Yinqiu and the other teachers were about to guide the situation...
Hu Jin Kindergarten’s teachers and accompanying parents approached: "Kids, you’re in the wrong place, this is Dorami Kindergarten’s dining area. Our dining area is over there. As we’ve said, our roast piglet is also ready, let’s go try our own delicious food..."
Speaking, Lin Jiayi and the other teachers extended their hands, holding onto these gluttonous kids with their gentle palms and patient words, guiding them back to their dining area.
But these kids kept looking back every few steps toward Dorami Kindergarten’s dining area, their eyes full of longing for the untried deliciousness, but also anticipation for the new delicious treat they were about to taste.
Li Huizhen initially intended to ask Liang Yinqiu for a sample, but seeing her kindergarten’s children’s behavior, she had to give up, so as to avoid causing a bad influence.
As the children at Dorami Kindergarten watched them leaving, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiling with ease on their faces.
Ah~ finally, no need to share...
Ah~ finally, can enjoy in peace...
How wonderful!
Afterwards, the children awkwardly put on disposable gloves, picked up the roast piglet meat from the plates, each dipping it in their preferred sauces, and began to eat,
When they put the meat in their mouths, at that moment, their little mouths were instantly conquered by the taste. Their eyes were wide open, and their small faces beamed with surprise and satisfaction.
"Wow, this roasted Peppa—oh, no—roasted George is so delicious, the best meat I’ve ever tasted!" Liu Ruihan said as he licked the remaining oil off the corner of his mouth, his eyes forming crescent moons with his smile.
Yuanyuan nodded vigorously in agreement: "Yes, yes, I’ve never had such delicious meat before! George’s skin is great too, so crispy and fragrant, even better than KFC’s original chicken wings and legs!"
Lin Yipeng’s mouth was surrounded by shiny meat juices: "My little tummy is so satisfied, the roast piglet is just too delicious, I want to eat it again in the future!"
For a moment...
Dorami Kindergarten’s dining area was filled with the children’s innocent words of praise.
Qingqing and Weiwei’s little ears captured these words of praise, and they couldn’t be happier.
After all, these words of praise were all for their beloved father, and it was the highest commendation of his culinary skills.
Seeing this, Liang Yinqiu and the others also began to pick up their chopsticks, picking up a piece of glossy pork rind, lightly dipping it in sugar, and putting it into their mouths...
When the teeth first encounter the crisp outer layer, it produces a series of subtle and pleasant "crack" sounds. The outer layer instantly shatters on the tongue, releasing a rich roasted aroma, with the grainy feel of sugar subtly accenting it, making the skin extraordinarily crispy.
After finishing a piece of pork rind, they picked up a piece of pork, curious about how the taste of the meat inside would be.
Despite their confidence in Huang Jun’s skills, they still worried that this hastily prepared dish of roasted suckling pig might not be fully marinated to perfection.
But with just one taste...
Hey!
All concerns were unfounded!
The pork was incredibly flavorful, with spices seasoned just right, enhancing the richness of the meat’s natural taste without overshadowing it.
The texture was tender and juicy!
Each fiber was soaked with the meat’s flavor and aroma, almost melting in the mouth without much chewing, leaving a lasting aftertaste.
Unexpectedly, there was a hint of sweet aftertaste dancing on the tongue, bringing great surprise...
"Mm-hmm~ It’s really delicious, even better than the roasted whole lamb we had last time!"
"Yeah, the skin is crispy and fragrant, and the meat inside is tender and juicy, truly amazing!"
"This is definitely the most delicious roasted suckling pig I’ve ever had; how does Chef Huang do it?"
"..."
The parents were all eating happily, feeling that it was worth the visit!
Those who took leave or paid a high price to come here also felt it was worth it!
...
The children of Hu Jin Kindergarten finally, under the guidance of their teachers, gathered around the dining tables in their own dining area, in front of them, similarly golden, glossy roasted suckling pig.
At this moment.
Teachers, children, and parents all put on disposable gloves, eagerly embarking on their tasting journey.
As the taste of the roasted suckling pig spread in their mouths after the first bite, everyone vaguely sensed an indescribable difference.
Although the roasted suckling pig in their garden also tasted quite good, with tender meat and appropriate seasoning.
But...
It somehow felt like something was missing.
Hmm!
How to describe it!
It just lacked that aroma that could make someone’s mouth water immediately, like the one from Dorami Kindergarten’s roasted suckling pig.
Moreover, eating the roasted suckling pig in their hands, they simply couldn’t experience the kind of satisfaction and fulfillment radiating from Dorami Kindergarten’s teachers, students, and parents...
"Hmm, our roasted suckling pig is also delicious, but somehow it doesn’t seem as fragrant as Dorami’s..." Liu Yuhang’s mom had a tinge of confusion in her eyes, recalling the tempting aroma she smelled at Dorami Kindergarten earlier.
Chen Xinyun tasted the meat in her mouth and nodded: "Indeed, while our flavor is also good, the roasted suckling pig at Dorami seems to have a special taste that is unforgettable!"
"Could it be that their roasted suckling pig is crispier, or maybe the spices are different, making it not as fragrant as theirs?" A parent offered their own view.
"Perhaps... it might also be a question of the chef’s skill... After all, the chef at Dorami Kindergarten, Huang Jun, has been quite popular lately. It’s said that his culinary skills are so good that even someone who wanted to drown themselves was tempted by his roasted lamb skewers and gave up the idea..."
Upon hearing this...
Other parents felt this was reasonable and also thought that perhaps their kindergarten’s chef’s skills were not advanced enough, making their own roasted suckling pig not as fragrant, and failing to give them the same sense of satisfaction.
At this moment.
Parents’ hearts were touched by a subtle sense of imbalance.
They had chosen Hu Jin Kindergarten with confidence, investing considerable expenses, hoping their children could enjoy top-quality education and superior living conditions there, yet unexpectedly, the food supposedly top-notch in the city was not as good as Dorami Kindergarten’s.
This left them with a sense of disappointment and also ignited their curiosity and longing for Dorami Kindergarten’s roasted suckling pig.
They really wanted to taste Dorami Kindergarten’s roasted suckling pig to see just how delicious it really was...
Unfortunately, they didn’t have that privilege...
Even the teachers at Hu Jin Kindergarten present couldn’t hide their yearning, wanting to taste the legendary skill of Huang Jun, which has been widely praised.
Even the children were no exception!
Their little eyes occasionally glanced toward Dorami Kindergarten’s dining area, full of envy, with their little mouths subconsciously muttering, "I really want to try the roasted suckling pig they’re eating..."
Chef Zheng quietly stood in a corner of his garden’s dining area, his gaze wandering over the faces of the children, teachers, and parents, noticing their lack of interest in his roasted suckling pig.
Looking back at Dorami Kindergarten’s dining area, everyone there seemed to be immersed in the happiness brought by the food, their faces glowing with satisfied smiles.
At that moment, he realized that in this silent competition initiated by him alone...
He seemed, perhaps... had truly lost!
