Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Chapter 484 - 445: Exclusive Secret Technique, Not to Be Shared

In the Dorami Kindergarten kitchen.

Aunt Li returned excitedly from the dining room after completing her delivery task, eager to share with Huang Jun and the others the fascinating things she had seen there. Every detail was narrated vividly and passionately by her...

Wei Chengyi and the others never expected...

That one act of gluttony would lead to a lifetime of ruined reputation, and even redefine the heroic image of "brave and meticulous" firefighters...

All thanks to Aunt Li’s talent for spreading news.

Uh...

Let’s just say, in life you need to carry some stories with you.

Uh...

In order to preserve one’s reputation, it’s best to stay away from Aunt Li’s big mouth...

However, to Huang Jun and the others, this was nothing new; they just exchanged amused glances, not surprised at all.

But.

Aunt Li’s description unexpectedly intrigued Chu Qiweng, who had just entered the kitchen looking for food.

Her eyes widened in disbelief as she interrupted, "Aunt Li, are you telling the truth? That sounds incredible! Just because of those unique patterns on the egg whites, the firefighters don’t even want to eat the spiced eggs anymore? And each egg they peeled had different patterns?"

What do you mean?

Does this mean she doesn’t believe Aunt Li?

Even though she hasn’t tasted the spiced eggs made by Huang Jun due to being busy, that doesn’t mean she hasn’t seen them, right?

Aunt Li, with a serious expression like "You can question my ability but not my character," earnestly said, "Yes indeed! I saw it with my own eyes! How could it be fake?"

As a "good colleague in Huaxia," Aunt Lin quickly chimed in to testify, "Just now, I tried a spiced egg with Assistant Chef Qian, and the egg whites indeed had two different patterns! So what Aunt Li said should be true."

Qian Guoxiang said admiringly, "Chef Huang’s spiced eggs really taste better than the thousand-yuan tea eggs I’ve had before! Moreover, each egg white truly has a different pattern."

"Really?"

Chu Qiweng was still somewhat doubtful.

After all, she had never seen egg whites like meticulously painted ink paintings, each one a unique spiced egg...

Therefore...

Driven by the principle "Hearing is false, seeing is believing," she decided to verify herself, ignoring Aunt Lin and Aunt Li’s persuasion, and started peeling several spiced eggs.

Then...

She surprisingly found.

The patterns on each egg white were indeed different, beautiful beyond belief.

"Wow...it’s true that each egg white has an ink painting, and each one is different! This...This is truly amazing."

Completely convinced now, yet still displaying disbelief on her face, she asked, "Chef Huang, how did you make these eggs? Tell me, it’s not intentional, is it?"

Huang Jun smiled slightly and said lightly, "This is just the spark from the unintentional collision of nature and skill, pure chance."

"Chance?"

Chu Qiweng’s brows furrowed softly, her eyes flashing with doubt.

Such an explanation, how could she easily accept it?

Looking at Huang Jun, she continued, "If it’s really chance, how could each one have such unique and exquisite patterns, none alike? The intricacy and perfection exceed imagination, really!"

"Chef Huang, tell me, what method did you use?"

Huang Jun maintained his smile, simply repeating, "Indeed, it’s all coincidence."

Seeing Huang Jun’s calm expression, Chu Qiweng instantly realized and chose not to delve further, instead smilingly said, "Alright, alright, I get it, this is your secret recipe, not convenient to share, then I won’t ask anymore. But Chef Huang, your eggs are really well made!"

Is this young lady going to imagine some bizarre story?

Huang Jun chuckled silently and advised, "Quickly eat, or the taste will degrade when it cools. Look at you, peeling off all your eggs, leaving none to enjoy slowly later~"

Chu Qiweng smiled mischievously and confidently replied, "Thanks for the thoughtful reminder, Chef Huang, but I have a good appetite, I can finish these eggs in minutes."

As soon as she finished speaking.

She took a big bite of the spiced egg in her hand.

With one bite...

Instantly.

Her eyes widened in surprise—the egg white actually had such rich color variations, with the outer part clinging tightly to the shell displaying enticing reddish-brown hues, while inwardly transitioning to pure and delicate white, like snow covering, immaculate.

"Oh, it’s truly unexpected, a small egg hiding so many surprises..."

She mumbled her praises and started savoring the egg white thoroughly.

The texture of the egg white was tender yet slightly chewy, each bite felt like blossoms blooming on her taste buds, aromatic and layered, providing her taste buds with an unprecedented journey.

"Wow, this taste, simply indescribable!"

She chewed in delight, and after swallowing, a refreshing anise aroma slowly spread in her mouth, lingering long.

"Can’t wait to try the yolk, bet it tastes great too!"

Her gaze was drawn to the exposed yolk, she couldn’t help but softly open her lips and gently take it into her mouth.

As she chewed, a hint of regret fleeted through her mind.

Not doubting the taste, but worried that this fully cooked yolk might choke her throat like usual, making it hard to swallow.

But soon, she found her worry was completely unnecessary.

The yolk in her mouth not only brought no choking discomfort but was exceptionally delicate and smooth, blooming on the tip of her tongue, fragrance abounding.

Turning her eyes to the remaining half of egg white in her hand, she did not hesitate to put it into her mouth, letting the lightness of egg white and the richness of yolk intertwine, complementing each other, creating an unparalleled taste feast.

Chu Qiweng’s face beamed with satisfaction and fascination, she couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, sincerely saying, "Wow, Chef Huang, your eggs are really delicious..."

Huang Jun: "..."

Uh...

Though sincere, why did it sound weird?

"Ugh ugh ugh, I regret it, I wanted to save some to snack on while watching dramas tonight, but now..."

Chu Qiweng looked at the spiced eggs she had already peeled and felt regret, silently blaming herself for not listening to the advice, impulsively peeling them all.

Now...

If not eating, the alluring aroma would gradually fade, the taste would not be the same.

But...

If eating them all now, then tonight watching dramas, she won’t have delicious snacks to enjoy!

She found herself in a dilemma, torn between choices.

Eventually.

She looked at Huang Jun with a hopeful gaze, her eyes pleading as if saying: Chef Huang, can you kindly let me have a few more, so I could enjoy the current taste and still have companions for binge-watching tonight?

Sensing the meaning in her eyes, Huang Jun looked at her with a face of "unable to help."

Despite having some stock remaining, there were still many garden leaders yet to collect theirs, and Jiang Shuihan and Pengfei also needed to taste them!

Truly no extra for her...

Seeing this!

The enlightened Chu Qiweng could only let out a helpless sigh.

Ah!

The mistake made, must continue to eat, tears or not.

Ah!

There once was a perfect spiced egg in front of her, she didn’t cherish it, and only regretted it after losing it. The most painful thing in the world is nothing but this.

If heaven could give her another chance, she would say three words to those spiced eggs: "I won’t peel."

If required to add a duration to this refusal, she wishes—until the drama-watching night.

For now, the only choice is to eat the peeled spiced eggs to soothe her regretting heart...
