Cai Qinyu realized that her stomach was a bit full. It was only when she lazily leaned back against the chair that she suddenly discovered she had eaten the entire plate of food clean, leaving not even a drop of soup.
Imagine that.
Since going to university, she had always consciously controlled her diet to maintain her figure, ensuring she only ate until she was seventy percent full, never breaking this rule.
But today, she broke this habit.
This feeling of overeating was so unfamiliar to Cai Qinyu that she couldn’t help but regret a little.
But the regret lasted only a second!
She concluded that getting to eat such delicious food today was absolutely worth it!
Especially the braised pork, which was like her dream at!
It was so delicious!
Even better than her mom’s cooking!
At this mont, she even felt a bit thankful towards those leaders of the education bureau, for they were the ones who gave her the opportunity to taste such delicacies...
...
"Burp~"
Wan Zhenhong had eaten a huge plateful of food and added extra braised pork and corn with peas and shrimp, and then drank two big bowls of white radish bone soup...
Without realizing it, he had eaten himself into a food coma.
Only when his stomach felt impossibly stuffed did he finally relent and stop adding more food, now leaning back and releasing a satisfied burp.
However, the initially content and pleased expression on his face couldn’t help but reveal a hint of regret, as he sighed longingly, "Ah, I feel like I haven’t had enough...but my stomach is already too full."
Then, he genuinely exclaid, "Today’s lunch was the best work al I’ve had in years; it was really too delicious. Chef Huang’s skills are absolutely exceptional!"
Next to him, Xin Jinghui also ate quite a lot, and rested montarily against the chair to ease the bloated feeling in his stomach.
Upon hearing Wan Zhenhong’s remark, he couldn’t help but nod in agreent.
anwhile, he also couldn’t help but express his own thoughts: "Indeed! Chef Huang’s skill is truly amazing! These may appear to be ordinary ho-style dishes, yet the flavor is astoundingly good, lacking the typical taste of seasonings. All that remains is the flavor of the ingredients themselves and their freshness, making it irresistibly delicious."
"Ah, I really wish I could eat more, but alas, my stomach can’t take any more!"
After speaking, he regretfully patted his own stomach lightly.
Ah!
Just hated that his stomach wasn’t up to the task...
"Right, right! I wish I could eat more, but unfortunately, my strength doesn’t allow it!" Several colleagues from the preschool departnt all shook their heads in resignation.
Liang Yinqiu also felt incredibly full, and he remarked, "Not only you guys; I’ve eaten it for several days in a row, and I still feel the sa way!"
"But the advantage is that I can continue to eat Chef Huang’s delicious als every day, so the feeling isn’t as strong as yours."
As soon as he said that.
The education bureau leaders like Wan Zhenhong all exchanged glances, falling into a mont of silence.
They seriously suspected that Liang Yinqiu was blatantly showing off his good fortune, but they had no evidence.
For a brief mont, they suddenly envied Liang Yinqiu, envied that she worked here and could eat such tasty als every day.
They especially admired Liang Yinqiu’s unique insight, believing she had a keen eye to hire soone as skillful as Huang Jun.
But when they thought about when they would ever again enjoy Huang Jun’s culinary expertise after this al, they couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of loss.
Wan Zhenhong spoke almost unconsciously, "Director Liang, is your kindergarten canteen open to outsiders?"
However, as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized the absurdity of his question.
The kindergarten operates under closed managent, with entry strictly limited to staff; so how could the canteen be open to the public?
But since the words were already said, there was no turning back, and Wan Zhenhong could only brace himself and continue, "Director Liang, I was just joking, of course the kindergarten canteen is for internal use only."
He coughed lightly to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Clearly.
In the depths of his heart, he still hoped Liang Yinqiu would make an exception for him, giving him the chance to enter the kindergarten soday during his free ti to enjoy a al cooked by Huang Jun, even if it was just to satisfy his craving.
Xin Jinghui and other leaders from the education bureau shared this desire.
Thus.
They eagerly focused their attention on Liang Yinqiu, hoping she would kindly consider giving them a satisfactory response.
Liang Yinqiu observed the leaders like Wan Zhenhong, who claid it was rely a joke yet whose gaze revealed genuine yearning, leaving her montarily speechless.
These old foxes... they’ve completely fallen for Huang Jun’s culinary skills!
Technically speaking, this group of education bureau leaders had already indirectly expressed their desires, and as the principal of Dorami Kindergarten, she should fulfill so of their requests.
But thinking about opening this precedent, allowing these leaders to savor benefits and frequent the kindergarten for als, would significantly increase the workload inside.
If they were to publicize this al affair within the education bureau, enticing others to co over to freeload als, she’d be stuck with deciding whether to allow or not, wouldn’t she?
If allowed...
The kindergarten would need to host properly, even preparing extra ingredients for the kitchen, right?
This would undoubtedly augnt the workload for the staff.
If denied...
She’d end up offending these leaders!
Given this.
It’d be best to snuff this situation out before it starts, abolishing their notions to prevent any future troubles.
Liang Yinqiu smiled and said, "Director Wan, you’re indeed joking; after all, this is a kindergarten canteen, not a university canteen..."
In other words.
It’s simply impossible to open to the public!
Although the education bureau leaders like Wan Zhenhong knew the answer, hearing Liang Yinqiu’s indirect response finally quelled their hopes completely.
After resting a bit, the group felt less full and stood up ready to leave.
Being so stuffed requires a mont to recover before you can stand!
Wan Zhenhong smiled at Liang Yinqiu and said, "Director Liang, thank you very much for hosting us. It’s getting late; we should head back and not disturb you further."
Liang Yinqiu responded with a smile, "You’re welco, Director Wan, hope we have another opportunity to et next ti."
"Let see you out..."
Wan Zhenhong waved it off, "Okay, but before that, I’d like to say a few words to your kindergarten’s Chef Huang."
"Sure!"
Liang Yinqiu had no suspicion, thinking that Wan Zhenhong just wanted to express his admiration for Huang Jun’s culinary skills. She cheerfully called Huang Jun over, "Chef Huang, could you co over; Director Wan wants to speak with you."
On receiving the summon, Huang Jun approached with a smile, "Director Wan, you wanted to see ?"
Wan Zhenhong nodded, then took out a business card from his pocket and gave it to Huang Jun, "Chef Huang, this is my card. Keep it, and if you’re ever interested in working in our education bureau canteen, feel free to contact . Our doors are always open for you."
As soon as these words ca out, the atmosphere around them instantly turned slightly odd.
Liang Yinqiu instantly lost her composure, her eyes nearly popped out, and her jaw almost dropped to the floor.
Director Wan, I had you over for a al, and you’re trying to lure away my staff!
Oh, wait!
I had you over for a al, and you’re eyeing my chef!
Oh my gosh!
Is this the year of darkness; why has the world turned so dark?
