Chef Ge just stood there quietly staring at Liu Shiwei and his wife, without saying a word.
That look...
As if he wanted to see through the at bun in their hands.
What a pity...
Wen Xueqian was still imrsed in the aftertaste of the at bun, completely oblivious to Chef Ge’s longing gaze.
Liu Shiwei, out of the corner of his eye, inadvertently noticed the oddity of Chef Ge and slightly turned his head, his gaze landing on Chef Ge.
Seeing Chef Ge looking eager to eat yet too shy to ask, Liu Shiwei imdiately understood.
He smiled faintly but deliberately said, "Chef Ge, if there’s nothing else, you can go back to the kitchen and get busy, no need to stand here."
Chef Ge: (*ﾟｪﾟ*||)
Oh Liu Shiwei, oh Liu Shiwei...
Do you truly not understand?
Or are you just pretending not to understand?
Chef Ge stood there, montarily speechless, looking at Liu Shiwei with resentnt, while inwardly drawing a small circle to bla Liu Shiwei a bit.
If it weren’t for being tortured by your "nightmare at buns" before, I wouldn’t be so scared of the word "at bun" and avoid it at all costs.
Alas!
Forget it, forget it!
A man should be able to bend and stretch.
Better to ask directly!
After a mont of consideration, the contradiction in his heart slowly subsided.
So...
He mustered up the courage, showing an awkward yet polite smile, and slowly said, "Chairman Liu, earlier I was too stubborn, this at bun... may I also have a taste?"
Ha~
What do you think?
What do you think?
Did Liu Shiwei guess right?
Do you regret it now?!
Liu Shiwei laughed heartily, looking at Chef Ge with a teasing expression of "Chef Ge, didn’t you say you didn’t want it?" and patted Chef Ge on the shoulder: "Chef Ge, I knew you’d change your mind! Here, this at bun is for you. I guarantee you’ll want more after tasting it!"
As he spoke, he took a at bun from the warr and handed it to Chef Ge.
"Thank you!"
Chef Ge politely expressed his gratitude, reached out to take the at bun, and then placed it under his nose, taking a deep, close sniff...
The rich aroma hit his nose, with no nausea or vomiting feeling, instead making his appetite grow stronger, eager to taste this at bun.
This is definitely a good sign!
He hopes this good sign will last, allowing him to have a beautiful taste experience and savor the at buns made by Huang Jun properly.
Therefore.
Harboring these beautiful hopes, he tentatively took a small bite.
Imdiately, a glow of surprise illuminated his face.
The taste of the at bun far exceeded his expectations, its texture amazed him...
A rich wheat aroma mixed with a hint of sweetness gently spread in his mouth, the elastic outer skin as delicate and smooth as a woman’s skin, making it captivating and unforgettable.
The part of the bun soaked in at juice lted on the tongue with a light bite, bringing an unparalleled soft texture, and the aroma surged like waves, quickly dominating his sensory world.
He couldn’t wait and took another big bite.
The delicious at filling and sweet bun skin blended perfectly in his mouth, intertwining and dancing, the wonderful taste was utterly intoxicating.
Chef Ge couldn’t help but exclaim, "This bun, it’s so fragrant, the taste is absolutely amazing!"
Liu Shiwei said with a proud smile, "Of course, Chef Huang’s skills have never disappointed anyone. Everyone who has tasted his creations has had nothing but praise."
Chef Ge nodded in agreent, only then realizing that after eating a at bun, his stomach didn’t feel any discomfort, no nausea, and no urge to vomit...
He felt he could do it again!
Really!
He could do it again!
He felt he could now fully enjoy the deliciousness of the at bun!
Thanks to Chef Huang for rescuing him from the shadow of "nightmare at buns," no longer subjected to its torture...
At this mont...
He almost cried tears of joy, two broad noodle-like tears flowed down.
He looked at Huang Jun, his heart full of gratitude and admiration: "Chef Huang, the seasoning is perfect, you are truly amazing!"
"Thank you for the complint, I am really happy to receive your recognition, Chef Ge."
Huang Jun smiled, politely expressing his gratitude.
Chef Ge chuckled and continued, "Chef Huang, don’t be modest! These buns are so delicious, unmatched! Every detail is handled perfectly. Especially the at filling, finely and evenly chopped, perfectly seasoned, you can tell it took real effort in every bite. The tenderness of the at and the softness of the dough are a match made in heaven, every bite is enchanting. We definitely need to et more often to exchange ideas and learn from each other in the future."
After this tasting, Chef Ge had a deeper understanding of Huang Jun’s culinary skills, and in his heart, he held even more respect.
When he cooks later, he must put forth his best effort and skills, otherwise Chef Huang might really outdo him, and if that happens, how could he continue in the culinary world?
So, he has to perform well, can’t let Chef Huang have a laugh.
"You’re too kind, Chef Ge, let’s exchange ideas when there’s an opportunity," Huang Jun humbly replied.
"Great!" Chef Ge nodded in agreent, then said, "Chef Huang, why don’t you sit for a while, have so tea with Chairman Liu and chat, and I’ll head to the kitchen to start preparing. Later, you must try my cooking, let’s spar a bit."
"Alright!"
Huang Jun agreed cheerfully, watching Chef Ge’s departing figure.
Wen Xueqian warmly greeted, "Qingqing’s dad, try so of my Anxi Tieguanyin tea and these custard mooncakes. I made these strictly following the thod you taught , you must have a taste."
"Alright, I’ll savor them well."
Huang Jun picked up a golden, tempting custard mooncake from the porcelain plate, took a small bite, and the silky custard filling flowed out like amber, instantly releasing a seductive sweet aroma...
The taste was indeed quite good!
At least it showed real effort, inheriting his true skills!
Huang Jun gave Wen Xueqian a thumbs up, praising, "Mrs. Liu, your skills truly surpass the master’s!"
Though his words carried so courtesy, Wen Xueqian still showed a delighted smile on her face: "It’s mainly because Qingqing’s dad taught well. Please teach more dessert-making skills in the future. Qingqing always cos back praising how delicious Qingqing’s dad’s cooking is, and the desserts are tasty too. You must pass on a few tricks to , so I can make so at ho for her to enjoy."
Huang Jun replied with a smile: "Of course, that’s no problem. I’m more than happy to share my culinary experiences. However, you know I’m usually quite busy, so I may not have much ti to teach you. But we can set a ti, or I can write down the steps and techniques for you. You can follow them, and if you have questions, you can ask after school."
Wen Xueqian brightened up instantly upon hearing that: "That’s wonderful, Qingqing’s dad. As long as I can learn your skills, any way is fine, even if it’s your written steps. To , they are precious learning materials, I believe I can learn a lot from them!"
Huang Jun smiled: "Alright, I’ll write a few dessert recipes for you later. Try them at ho!"
Liu Shiwei also ca over, sowhat expectantly saying, "Chef Huang, I also want to learn from you on how to make those delicious at buns. My Hanhan particularly loves eating them, but my skills aren’t up to par. Last ti I made a whole pot for her, and she didn’t eat a single one."
After saying this, he looked at Wen Xueqian with an air of grievance.
Wen Xueqian avoided his gaze and pretended not to see.
Seriously.
Why don’t they want to eat your at buns, don’t you have any clue?
Isn’t it because your skills are really lacking, and the buns taste too awful!
The fact that she and Hanhan aren’t terrorized by your "nightmare at buns" is already a blessing!
You actually have the courage to bla them for not eating?
Who gave you the guts, Liang Jingru?
Huang Jun was quite surprised, as Chairman Liu, who usually dominated the business world, also had such a strong interest in cooking.
What surprised him even more was that Chairman Liu didn’t ask his household’s professional chef for guidance but instead sought advice from him, an amateur enthusiast.
But, speaking of it.
What kind of "skills unworthy of presenting" are those that Chairman Liu talked about?
Seeing Mrs. Liu’s subtle expression, without needing an explanation, it’s apparent that Chairman Liu’s culinary skills are likely quite "unique."
However, since Chairman Liu asked, Huang Jun couldn’t refuse his request.
Moreover, at buns are fairly common, so sharing the recipe is no problem!
Whether he can learn it or not will depend on his luck!
He chuckled and said, "Chairman Liu, I didn’t expect you to be interested in cooking as well. No problem, I’ll write down the at bun recipe for you later, try it at ho when you have ti. Hopefully, you can make a flavor your family will enjoy."
"Great, Chef Huang, thank you very much, I’ll definitely try cooking myself!" Liu Shiwei quickly nodded in thanks,
Wen Xueqian smiled and took paper and pen from nearby, respectfully handing them to Huang Jun.
Huang Jun took the paper and pen and began ticulously writing down the steps for making at buns, ensuring every step was clear so Liu Shiwei wouldn’t be confused.
He also wrote down a few snacks made at the kindergarten for Wen Xueqian, so she could make them at ho to satisfy Hanhan’s little cravings.
After finishing, Huang Jun handed the paper to them and said, "Chairman Liu, Mrs. Liu, take a look, and if there’s anything unclear, feel free to ask."
Wen Xueqian examined the paper closely, admiring, "It’s very detailed, Qingqing’s dad, you’re truly thoughtful. I hope I can learn and satisfy my child Hanhan."
Liu Shiwei also seriously reviewed the paper, nodding with satisfaction, saying, "Indeed, this is much more detailed than those general instructions online or what Chef Ge ntioned. Chef Huang, you’ve put a lot of care into this!"
"Chairman Liu, Mrs. Liu, you’re too kind." Huang Jun smiled modestly.
"You can call Old Liu or Brother Liu..."
Chairman Liu said casually, "Calling Chairman Liu feels so formal..."
Wen Xueqian also chid in with a smile, "Exactly, don’t call Mrs. Liu either, just Wen Xueqian or sister-in-law is fine."
Huang Jun smiled and agreed, "Brother Liu! Sister-in-law!"
"That’s better..."
Liu Shiwei and his wife both chuckled.
"Brother Liu, Sister-in-law, may I use the restroom?" Huang Jun inquired politely.
Liu Shiwei pointed towards the kitchen’s direction, saying, "Brother Huang, head through the kitchen and make a left, the restroom is right there."
"Alright, thank you, Brother Liu!"
Huang Jun gratefully nodded, and followed Liu Shiwei’s directions towards the restroom.
Having taken care of his personal needs, Huang Jun felt much refreshed.
He washed his hands and prepared to return to the living room, but as he passed the kitchen again.
He caught the aroma and couldn’t help slowing his pace, eventually succumbing to curiosity and opening the sliding door, stepping inside...
