Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Chapter 616: Chapter 512: How Is This Supposed to Be Good News? (Part 3)

Yang Yuxi’s lips curled into a smile, and she nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Huang Jun bid farewell to Yang Yuxi and, full of anticipation, turned back to the kitchen to start his busy lunchtime preparations.

...

In the afternoon when school ended, the children eagerly shared their day at the kindergarten with their parents, turning those fun moments and experiences into hot topics of conversation.

Particularly worth mentioning was the bowl of steaming, delicious wontons from breakfast, which the children still talked about with great enthusiasm.

The parents, hearing their children’s tales, felt not only relief but also envy.

Due to the onset of winter, parents seemed even more eager to pick up their kids, and within just ten minutes, the kindergarten gradually returned to tranquility as all the children were taken home.

After the children were picked up, the teachers of each class began their end-of-day tasks, heading to the meeting room for a meeting.

Huang Jun also took Qingqing and Weiwei to the meeting room.

Once Director Liang Yinqiu arrived, the meeting officially began.

She announced an exciting piece of news: next Friday, the kindergarten will celebrate its annual New Year’s Day event. City leaders and honored guests from the education bureau will be present at our kindergarten for guidance. Despite this honor, the celebration will retain its traditional warmth and creativity, ensuring every participant feels the joy of the festival.

Then, the topic shifted to planning the games for the carnival.

The teachers, drawing on their abundant experience, eagerly proposed novel and interesting ideas, creating a lively and creative atmosphere.

As the game planning reached its peak, everyone’s attention turned to the prize arrangements.

Huang Jun actively participated, suggesting several ideas, all of which were accepted by the group.

As the meeting was about to conclude, Xie Jianing raised her hand passionately offering a suggestion to enhance parent involvement: "Director Liang, to further boost parent enthusiasm, we could introduce some special prizes. For instance, we could have a ’Stamp Collection Contest’, where the first family to complete all tasks and gather all stamps will win a specially prepared ’Parent-Child Lunch Voucher’ from our kindergarten, allowing them to enjoy a carefully prepared dinner experience at the kindergarten!"

This suggestion was inspired by a heartwarming moment in the morning when Qu Qing humorously proposed while dropping off Lin Yipeng, that the kindergarten expand its services to include a snack shop or restaurant, even expressing willingness to pay for a year’s worth of meals,

showing her true love for the kindergarten’s food!

Her suggestion immediately resonated with the other teachers.

"Miss Xie’s idea is fantastic! I recall during our last carnival, the children had loads of fun, but parents didn’t participate much; some hurriedly joined a few games and didn’t collect many stamps."

"The parents in our class are always praising the kindergarten meals. If they knew there were such meal rewards, they would certainly be full of motivation and eager to participate."

"Indeed, our class’s parents, too—they often say they’d love to taste the kindergarten food again. With this opportunity, they’ll be overjoyed."

...

In the meeting room, the teachers all agreed that this reward mechanism would greatly motivate parental involvement.

After all, organizing an event takes significant effort from planning to execution, and a successful event naturally relies on active parent participation as the best reward.

"This suggestion is indeed worth trying."

Liang Yinqiu also showed a approving smile, then gently turned to Huang Jun, asking: "Chef Huang, as our kindergarten’s ’culinary expert’, what do you think of this idea?"

Huang Jun’s eyes flashed with approval: "Of course, no problem. I fully support this suggestion."

"So, do you have any suggestions on how to implement the rewards?" Liang Yinqiu inquired further.

Huang Jun humbly replied: "In that case, I’ll leave it to the teachers to decide. I’m fully on board with whatever they come up with."

"Great!"

Liang Yinqiu nodded and then turned to the other teachers present: "Well, does anyone have thoughts on how to distribute the rewards?"

After a brief thought, Xie Jianing suggested: "I think we can divide it by age group, selecting the top three families from the older, middle, and younger classes who successfully collect all the game stamps. Each family receives one family meal voucher, limited to three people, ensuring fairness while adding fun to the event."

The other teachers nodded in agreement: "I think that sounds good."

With that, everyone’s attention once again converged on Liang Yinqiu.

Smiling, Liang Yinqiu looked at Huang Jun again, seeking his opinion: "Chef Huang, how does this arrangement sound to you?"

Huang Jun replied enthusiastically: "I think it’s perfect!"

Thus, Liang Yinqiu decisively concluded: "Alright, since there are no objections, that’s settled! Parents can use this family meal voucher to redeem a three-person family meal, whether dining in or taking it away!"

Subsequently, a teacher suggested having Huang Jun handle the teachers’ lunch on the event day. Although Liang Yinqiu also hoped for this, considering Huang Jun would be busy accompanying the children through the carnival, she thought it might be exhausting for him. Moreover, she heard that Mayor Yang never stayed for meals during visits to kindergartens, so she gently declined the suggestion: "On the event day, let Chef Huang focus on accompanying the children. As for lunch, you can handle it yourselves at home!"

With this decision reluctantly accepted by everyone, the meeting concluded successfully.
