Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

Chapter 23 If you are too modest, you are showing off...

in the kitchen.

Aunt Lin and Aunt Li were responsible for cleaning and preparing the ingredients, so they came over early.

When Huang Jun put on chef uniforms, put on a mask, and entered the operation room after disinfection, the two of them were already busy inside.

"Aunt Lin, Aunt Li, good morning..."

"Chef Huang, you're here..."

"Good morning, Chef Huang..."

When Aunt Lin heard his greeting, they both raised their heads and responded with smiles.

At the end, I didn't forget to greet the lovely sisters Qingqing and Weiwei. When I learned that Huang Jun had sent the two little ones to the classroom, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "The two sisters didn't cry, right? "

It’s no wonder that they would ask this, mainly because they could vaguely hear the cries of the children entering the kindergarten when they were in the kitchen, and it was more obvious now, so they were afraid that Qingqing and Weiwei would be punished if they saw other children crying. Affected and followed by crying.

In fact, their concerns are justified.

Many children in the small class had just been comforted by the teacher at the front, and were immediately led to cry again as soon as other little crybabies came from behind.

Fortunately, there are not many such situations in the small (4) class.

Those children who were prone to crying always remembered Huang Jun's agreement. Whenever they wanted to cry, they would think of that agreement, and then their eyes would turn red and they would hold back the tears.

Closer to home.

Huang Jun took out the maltose from the cabinet and said with a smile: "I'm not crying, you're all good!"

"That's good, that's good. I just said that Qingqing and Weiwei are so good, they won't cry."

Hearing this, Aunt Lin and Aunt Li were relieved, and immediately showed a "not surprised" expression: "Actually, it is like this at the beginning of school, especially when new students enter the kindergarten. After a few days, the children will get used to it and it will be much better. .”

Huang Jun came to an induction cooker and placed a small pot on it.

I saw him pouring small pieces of maltose into the pot.

Aunt Li and Aunt Lin, who didn't know the truth, couldn't help but curiously asked when they saw his series of operations: "Chef Huang, what are you doing?"

Huang Jun said truthfully: "Make some candy figures for the children."

"what?"

Aunt Lin and Aunt Li's eyes couldn't help but widen, and their mouths opened wide enough to stuff an egg. Then they said with disbelief in their words: "Chef Huang, can you still make a candy man?"

In their impression, sugar making looks fun, but in fact it is a technical job.

It is also a folk art.

The degree of difficulty can be imagined!

Huang Jun nodded: "Yes, I can make candy blowers, draw candy figures, and make candy figures, but my skills are not very good. It shouldn't be a problem to coax the children."

"That's pretty awesome!"

After hearing his sincere words, Aunt Lin and Aunt Li were no longer surprised. They both felt that he could really make it, and at the same time, they were looking forward to his candy making skills.

"Chef Huang, are you going to make a candy figure or draw a candy figure this time?"

“Draw a candy man.”

Huang Jun thinks that if it can be used to eat or look at, it would be better to draw a candy figure.

These words reminded Aunt Lin and Aunt Li of when they were in elementary school, and these candy-painted figures were always indispensable at the small snack stalls around the school.

A small stool, a small table, a small stove, a sugar spoon, a wooden board, and a turntable are all the "ownership" of the sugar painting master's sugar painting stall.

At that time, whenever there was a "candy painter" in school or in front of their home, they would be surrounded by friends.

The cheap candy figures have also become a favorite snack among children.

But now.

As children have more and more snack options, such as chocolate, cakes, nuts and other high-end snacks, candy figures are no longer just items to entertain children. The sugar figures are gradually being forgotten, and it is difficult to find traces of them in the streets and alleys of the city.

In the eyes of today's children, "sugar man" is already an unfamiliar term...

Oh, how sad it is...

Just when Aunt Lin and the others were feeling regretful, the hard maltose cubes in the small pot quickly began to melt under the low heat.

The syrup has a light yellow color just after melting, but as time goes by, the syrup gradually turns into dark red.

Huang Jun turned the heat to the minimum.

Once the temperature of the syrup is controlled to a certain level, there is no need to worry about it anymore. The next step is the most important thing!

He pulled a new bamboo stick from a bunch of washed ones and placed it gently on the non-stick cutting board.

Then, he picked up a small spoon and scooped up a spoonful of syrup in the pot.

Considering that both darling girls love rabbits.

So...

He decided to start by drawing rabbits.

Although this was his first time using sugar syrup to make a candy figure, thanks to the addition of the system, everything went in an orderly manner and there was no rush.

Seeing his posture, Aunt Li and Aunt Lin guessed, "Chef Huang, are you about to start painting?"

"Yes."

After hearing the affirmative answer, Aunt Lin and Aunt Li couldn't help but come over to take a look, but the work in their hands did not stop.

Then, I saw his hand holding the spoon dancing quickly on the non-stick chopping board.

At this moment, the golden sugar syrup seemed to have come to life, turning into strands of silk threads, dotted and criss-crossing on the non-stick chopping board.

Just under two minutes.

A cute golden bunny appeared vividly on the non-stick chopping board and caught their eyes.

Aunt Lin and Aunt Li were so mesmerized that they even forgot about the work they were doing.

"This painting looks so similar!! Look at this little bunny, how realistic it is and how cute it is... Those kids will definitely like it."

"Yes, that's amazing, Chef Huang, your skills are so impressive..."

Hearing these compliments, Huang Jun smiled and said modestly: "Thank you, it's not bad..."

Chef Huang, Chef Huang...

Is this still called "passable"?
Do you have any misunderstanding about the words "passable"?

Your skills are comparable to those of the old candy masters!
Although modesty is a good thing, if you are too modest, you are showing off...

Huang Jun picked up the bamboo skewers on the table. When the warm wind blew, the syrup quickly solidified, and the little rabbit would not fall apart even if the bamboo skewers were used to shape it.

Then, he continued to draw the rabbit again, and while drawing, he asked: "Aunt Lin, Aunt Li, what pattern do you like? I will make one for you two later."

"We have one too??"

Aunt Lin and Aunt Li both pointed at themselves in disbelief.

Huang Jun smiled and said: "Being a candy man is not a difficult task. Tell me, what pattern do you want?"

Aunt Li was very excited and said, "Can I have a butterfly?"

Finally, he asked with some worry: "Will this be difficult?"

"It's not difficult!"

Huang Jun shook his head, looked up at Aunt Lin and said, "Aunt Lin, where are you?"

"I want a cat!"

"Okay, I didn't ask, just wait a moment!"

Huang Jun smiled slightly, and then steadily placed the spoon containing the syrup on the non-stick chopping board. He took the bamboo stick as the center and quickly painted it with sugar syrup.

Only five minutes later, a fluttering butterfly and a cute kitten appeared vividly in front of Aunt Lin and Aunt Li.

Aunt Lin's eyes shone with unconcealable surprise.

"Wow, they are really butterflies and cats! The shapes are so realistically drawn, they almost look like they are alive..."

"Chef Huang, I thought you just cooked delicious food, but I didn't expect you could even draw candy figures so well. I have to say, your skills are really...how do you say that word?"

"Absolutely awesome!"

"Yes, this craftsmanship is really amazing..."

Aunt Lin felt the beauty of the candy man, and she really didn't expect Huang Jun to be so good at painting with candy.

However, more surprises are yet to come.
