Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Chapter 603: Chapter 508: With Chef Huang Here, Opening a Branch Is Only a Matter of Time_2

"This is absolutely authentic braised chicken with rice, with the chicken, sauce, and every single ingredient radiating with a warm yellow hue. Just the visual alone is enough to stimulate infinite appetite!"

Sitting in the spacious and bright dining area of the cafeteria, Lv Pengfei’s gaze focused on the "Braised Chicken Rice" in front of him. The chicken pieces were meticulously laid over the rice, and the golden sauce had quietly seeped in, dyeing the rice an alluring color.

At this moment, he could no longer contain his excitement and eagerly picked up his chopsticks, gently picking a piece...

A piece of golden-yellow, aromatic chicken gleamed on the chopsticks.

He brought it to his mouth, eating it in one bite.

As he chewed it slowly, a look of enjoyment spread across his face.

The chicken’s tender texture, both resilient and delicate, combined with the rich aroma of the mushrooms and a hint of perfectly-set spiciness, made it an unbeatable meal accompaniment!

Delicious!

He took bite after bite, as if the entire world had been reduced to just the aroma and taste of this bowl of braised chicken with rice.

Liu Suyu served herself half a bowl of rice and scooped some chicken onto a small plate.

She elegantly picked up her chopsticks, savoring the warmth of the rice while gently bringing the chicken pieces to her mouth, chewing slowly, relishing in the satisfaction each bite brought.

After tasting the chicken, she was in no hurry to end the meal but picked up the small plate, preparing to pour the remaining sauce into the bowl.

Instantly.

The golden liquid slid in like silk, cloaking the rice in an enticing sheen.

She stirred the rice with her chopsticks, ensuring each grain was thoroughly soaked in the rich braised chicken sauce until each grain was coated in that mouth-watering richness.

The rice became glossy and fragrant,

scooping up a spoonful and bringing it to her mouth,

Wow!

The taste was so good it almost made her want to swallow her tongue.

"Mmm, this braised chicken with rice truly tastes amazing!"

Liu Suyu sincerely praised.

She wasn’t new to braised chicken. She had tried many versions, whether takeaway or dine-in.

But all paled in comparison to the braised chicken crafted by Huang Jun.

Huang Jun’s braised chicken excelled in its purity.

The ingredients were pared down to the essentials, with a precise choice—tender chicken as the star, complemented by mushrooms, wood ear fungus, and green and red peppers, without any complicated side dishes to steal the flavor.

The sauce was thick yet not greasy, especially suitable for mixing with rice.

She turned her head towards the busy Huang Jun in the kitchen, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips, and said sincerely, "Chef Huang, your skills are unparalleled; it’s simply a rare delicacy. I’ve always been so curious about how you manage to make every dish so unforgettable?"

Aunt Li joked from the side, "That’s because Chef Huang’s hands were kissed by God, so everything he makes is so delicious that you can’t stop eating."

Huang Jun, upon hearing this, displayed a humble and warm smile. He set down his work and slowly said, "To me, cooking is more like a profound conversation with the ingredients. I try to understand the uniqueness of each ingredient, using the most suitable methods to unlock their potential, allowing them to present their best flavors in the most natural state. I believe that if you cook with your heart, every dish can become a medium to convey emotions and warmth."

Qian Guoxiang nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with respect and admiration for Huang Jun, "Chef Huang is absolutely right. Cooking is not just a skill, but an art, a form of emotional expression. Each dish you craft with care lets us feel the warmth and emotion behind the food."

Although Liu Suyu wasn’t well-versed in the mysteries of cooking, she was deeply moved by these words at that moment.

She suddenly realized that what makes food truly touching is not just the taste but the emotions and care behind it.

At this moment, her respect for Huang Jun grew even more.

Just as everyone was immersed in the warm atmosphere of cooking and dining...

Liu Suyu suddenly recalled another important matter, "Oh, by the way, Chef Huang, I have some good news to share with you! The enrollment slots for our kindergarten’s expansion next term have already been filled in advance!"

"Huh?"

At these words, everyone was taken aback, showing expressions of surprise.

Huang Jun asked puzzlingly, "Filled? How is that possible? Haven’t we officially announced the expansion yet?"

"That’s right, it’s absolutely true!"

Liu Suyu confirmed with a nod, unable to hide the joy in her heart.

Aunt Li, upon hearing this, widened her eyes, looking incredulous, "Oh my, did I miss some big news? How did the expansion slots fill up so quietly?! Manager Liu, tell me, what’s the story behind this?"

As she spoke, she promptly carried her bowl over to Liu Suyu’s side, looking eager to hear all the gossip.

Aunt Lin, seeing this, was also attracted by this unexpected surprise, quickly sitting next to Aunt Li, both assuming the best "listener" posture.

Seeing everyone’s expectant faces, Liu Suyu briefly explained the situation: "This morning, many parents somehow heard about the upcoming expansion plans for our kindergarten next term and came to Director Liang to inquire. Once they heard it was true, they wanted to register first. Director Liang took down their intentions, and later, after some of them spread the word, more parents flocked in. As a result, our expansion slots for the next term were fully booked before the official announcement. In fact, there are many parents who didn’t get a slot, still asking Director Liang for further expansion..."
