Chapter 482: Chapter 443: Finally Out of Danger
When the nursery teachers from each class slowly pushed carts filled with containers of spiced eggs past the schoolyard, the rich aroma spread out like an unexpected feast, permeating the air.
The teachers standing at the back of the children’s line were originally focused on maintaining order, but after catching the scent, they seemed to be invigorated by it...
The previously weary expressions were instantly replaced by glowing faces, and their eyes all simultaneously turned towards those fragrant carts.
"Wow, is this the special breakfast of spiced eggs that Chef Huang prepared for the kids? The smell is amazing!" Xie Jianing sniffed the air forcefully, as if trying to inhale all the aroma into her lungs.
"Exactly, this aroma seems even more enticing than yesterday’s, it’s like a more aromatic upgrade..." Jiang Xinzhuo from the adjacent Class 3 nodded joyfully.
Yang Yuxi was intoxicated by the smell and unconsciously murmured, "Yes! Just smelling it, you can tell these spiced eggs are well-flavored, definitely tastier than those from yesterday..."
Wait!
What spiced eggs from yesterday?
Xie Jianing and others immediately picked up on the "keyword," and feeling puzzled, they guessed, "Miss Yang, what’s tastier than yesterday’s? Did you already try them yesterday?"
"Huh?"
Yang Yuxi was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized she had let it slip!
Quick-thinking, she found an excuse to cover it up: "What I meant was... Qingqing’s dad’s spiced eggs must be tastier than the ones I bought outside yesterday!"
"I just got tempted by the smell yesterday, so I went out and bought some spiced eggs to satisfy the craving..."
The explanation seemed reasonable, and Xie Jianing and the others, not suspecting anything, suddenly understood: "Oh, so that’s it!"
It was a close call...
Yang Yuxi breathed a small sigh of relief.
The children’s attention was also drawn by the aroma, their little noses subconsciously twitching, greedily catching every whiff of fragrance, innocent and joyful smiles blooming on their young faces.
When the carts came into view, the children’s eyes sparkled immediately, filled with unmistakable anticipation and excitement: "Look, the breakfast carts are coming..."
The next second...
They turned their bodies uniformly, lightly standing on tiptoe, wanting to catch a glimpse of these spiced eggs in the carts.
But alas...
They were still just a bunch of little ones, and even on tiptoe, they couldn’t see the spiced eggs in the containers.
But even so, the thick aroma wafting gently from the container lids was enough to make these little ones drool in delight.
Not only the children and teachers were tempted, but even the usually serious firefighters were drawn in.
Ah~
Is this the breakfast for the kids?
It smells really good!
With such a great aroma, it must taste incredible!
Uh...
What to do?
This smell makes me really want to eat!
Wei Chengyi and the other firefighters swallowed involuntarily at the wafting fragrance.
Really, really want to eat it...
As they unconsciously followed the carts with their eyes, a quiet anticipation for the upcoming delicious treat arose in their hearts...
Liang Yinqiu was already soothing the kids with a smile: "Alright, kids, after the exhibition ends, we’ll go back to the classrooms for a delicious breakfast. For now, let’s continue to watch the firefighters show their amazing equipment, okay?"
"Okay—" the children replied in unison.
Even though their hearts secretly longed for the fragrant breakfast, they remembered what the teachers taught them and maintained admirable order, their faces full of admiration for the firefighters as they eagerly awaited more demonstrations of the firefighting tools.
Seeing this, Wei Chengyi and others snapped back to reality, smiling awkwardly.
For a moment...
They felt like they had less self-control than the kids!
Jiang Xuewei was just about to say something more to the kids when Wei Chengyi spoke up: "Director Liang, kids, we’ve pretty much shown all our firefighting equipment. Why don’t we end this demonstration here for now? Besides, the breakfast needs to be served in the classrooms soon, or it’ll get cold. How about we let the kids go eat breakfast first, and then we can continue with other firefighting activities after they’re done?"
Director Liang Yinqiu nodded in agreement: "Captain Wei is right, children, let’s go back to the classrooms to enjoy the delicious breakfast first, and then we’ll continue with other firefighting activities."
Saying this, she turned to the teachers from each class, signaling them to start organizing the children to return to the classrooms.
The children beamed with even brighter smiles when they heard they could eat.
Although the fire equipment display was interesting, the delicious breakfast was equally enticing...
If they could choose, they would naturally choose the latter!
"Then let’s hurry! I can’t wait to eat the fragrant five-spice eggs!"
"Yes, yes, the aroma is making me hungry~"
"What are we waiting for? Let’s line up and go to the classroom..."
"..."
Before long, the children formed neat lines on their own, following their respective teachers steadily towards the classroom.
"Director Liang, the children here are truly well-behaved and sensible, it’s impressive," Wei Chengyi said, full of admiration and comfort.
He had participated in many kindergarten "fire drills," but it was rare to see children like those at Dorami Kindergarten display such discipline and self-awareness!
Liang Yinqiu nodded, "Captain Wei, you’re too kind. The children’s performance is thanks to the hard work and patient guidance of every teacher in our kindergarten."
"We focus on cultivating children’s awareness of rules and self-management from an early age, helping them understand that everyone should contribute to creating a harmonious and orderly environment in a group.
"Of course, the children’s good behavior also benefits from the support of their family education..."
Wei Chengyi nodded in agreement, but his thoughts drifted towards the catering carts that were gradually moving away.
The other firefighters were the same.
Their eyes were fixed on the jars on the catering carts, their throats bobbing as they swallowed.
Naturally, Liang Yinqiu noticed their little thoughts.
Ah!
It seems no one can resist the food made by Huang Jun...
Not even the firefighters!
However, the serious gear, combined with their foodie expressions, completely undermined the firefighters’ demeanor.
Understanding this, she smiled and said, "Captain Wei, why don’t you all take a break and try our kindergarten’s breakfast? Chef Huang’s skills are really impressive!"
Wei Chengyi’s face lit up with joy, but he politely said, "Director Liang, how could we impose like this? We are here to work."
Liang Yinqiu waved her hand, "Captain Wei, there’s no need to be so polite. Taking a break and enjoying yourselves is both a reward for your hard work and a recharge for the work ahead. Besides, the snacks made by our Chef Huang are famously delicious. You try them, and you won’t be disappointed."
By now, the other firefighters couldn’t hold back their anticipation, eagerly looking at Wei Chengyi, their eyes shining with a hunger for the food, as if silently urging him to agree quickly.
Tempted by the aroma of the five-spice eggs, Wei Chengyi, seeing his team members were all looking at him eagerly, smiled and said, "I’ve long heard that the food prepared by your Chef Huang is especially delicious, and I’ve always wanted to try it. After hearing what you said, Director Liang, I’m even more excited now."
He paused, then continued, "Director Liang, we won’t be shy, and we’ll taste this legendary delicacy."
"Then please follow me to the reception room to sit for a while, the breakfast will be delivered soon!"
Liang Yinqiu led the way ahead and quickly sent a message to Liu Suyu, instructing her to swiftly arrange for Aunt Li or Aunt Lin to deliver the five-spice eggs to the reception room.
Upon receiving the message, Liu Suyu obediently complied and began to make arrangements.
Not long after.
Liang Yinqiu and the others entered the elegantly decorated reception room, and not long after sitting down, Aunt Li came in with a plate of fragrant five-spice eggs.
With a beaming smile, Liang Yinqiu invited, "Captain Wei, fellow firefighters, come, try our kindergarten’s five-spice eggs and see if they suit your taste."
"Judging by the aroma, it can’t be wrong!"
Wei Chengyi and the firefighters joyfully accepted the five-spice eggs and were immediately drawn to the special green egg shells. Wei Chengyi curiously asked, "Hey, the color of these eggs is really special, why are they green?"
"Oh, these are Five-Black Chicken eggs, which are the ones laid by black-feathered Silkie chickens!" Aunt Li, seeing that Liang Yinqiu couldn’t answer immediately, smiled and said, "Chef Huang says these eggs make the best five-spice eggs."
Wei Chengyi had a "learned something new" expression, "Oh, so they’re Silkie eggs! I had no idea that despite their dark appearance, the eggs they lay can be so green, and they smell even more fragrant than regular eggs!"
Saying this, he brought the five-spice egg closer to his nose and took a deep breath, showing a satisfied expression on his face.
Lost in the moment!
Honestly, he’s lived most of his life and has never encountered such an aromatic five-spice egg before, it’s truly eye-opening...
Then, he made a small crack and peeled off the shell along with the membrane.
The next moment...
The sight of the egg caught his eye, and his surprise was evident.
