Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Chapter 510 - 470: Sinister Intentions

"Horizontal critique cuts myriad threads, the fresh ingredients in broth boil over high heat. Crisp tenderness and delicious flavor swirl in the mouth, all praise the excellent knife skills of Huaiyang."

"Tofu threads as fine as hair are placed in clear water to soften, resembling a Chinese landscape painting. At a glance, the finished Wenshi Tofu appears like blooming chrysanthemums; it is exceptionally smooth and savory, with a lingering aftertaste..."

In an ordinary corner of a residential area, inside a regular room, Lv Pengfei sat at his somewhat messy computer desk, holding a steaming bowl of instant noodles, his eyes fixed on the food video from Dorami Kindergarten, mechanically forked the noodles into his mouth while watching.

With each bite, he imagined that what he was eating wasn’t the monotonous braised beef noodles but the delicate, smooth, and aromatic Wenshi Tofu, while trying to squeeze out an expression of ecstasy, as if tasting a rare delicacy, seeking a bit of solace on his barren taste buds.

However.

The bitterness in his heart surged like a tide...

Heaven knows...

How he spent the past two days...

He relied solely on an indomitable will and this unique "food video spiritual nourishment," to arduously survive every bland moment...

His heart silently dripped tears, yet he constantly tried to numb himself with fantasies — imagining each bite was Wenshi Tofu personally cooked by Huang Jun.

The more he thought about it...

The more he recalled the wonderful taste of Wenshi Tofu, and when he came to his senses, the noodles that were once palatable became instantly even harder to swallow...

"Ah! Until tomorrow when I get to eat the delicacies made by Chef Huang, there are nearly..."

He couldn’t help but calculate: "Nearly 14 hours left..."

At this moment, he increasingly felt that not having a weekend off might not be a bad thing.

After all, in others’ eyes, the weekend is a time for relaxation and enjoyment, but for him, it’s a torturous ordeal.

What?

You dare ask why he doesn’t cook along with Huang Jun’s instructional food videos?

Actually, it’s not that he doesn’t have the intention, but... ah, culinary artistry, for an outsider, isn’t a skill mastered overnight just by watching videos.

Whenever he immersed himself in those mouth-watering food videos, he felt everything was within his grasp, but once he cooked himself, reality was like cold water on his head, deeply understanding the truth of ’easy to know, hard to practice.’

In short, he frantically scrambled in the kitchen, and the dishes he ended up making tasted vastly different from his expectations, lacking that touch of soul.

Even worse, the pervasive smell of grease seemed to become a food appetite killer, making him lose interest in tasting his work once completed, and his appetite vanished into thin air with it.

Ah, what an unfortunate reality this is...

So...

Faced with this series of setbacks, he gradually harbored a retreating intention, temporarily laying aside the dream of cooking, becoming content as a foodie.

"When I return to Dorami Kindergarten tomorrow to shoot food videos, I must indulge in a feast to soothe my wounded heart."

He looked at the food videos on the computer screen, and suddenly a new idea popped into his mind.

No way...

He can’t be the only injured party...

The past two days, relying on "food videos to enhance his meal," naturally, he wanted to find a bunch of companions to endure the injury and suffer together!

So...

He immersed himself in Huang Jun’s meticulous instructional food videos, like a connoisseur, carefully selecting the eye-catching food product clips.

His fingers swiftly tapped on the keyboard, editing these meticulously chosen clips together into a video that tingled the senses both visually and tastefully.

When the editing work was finally done...

He slowly leaned back, drawing away from the computer screen, scrutinizing his work with a near-critical eye.

The food products in the video were vivid and colorful, each dish like a piece of art, making viewers eager to explore.

"Hey hey, nice, nice, my editing skills have improved quite a bit!"

He nodded in satisfaction, lightly clicked the mouse, and sent this meticulously crafted video file to Jiang Shuihan.

He also sent Jiang Shuihan a message: "Shui Han, I just edited a Chef Huang food product video, it’s quite interesting. I’m thinking about sharing it on Weibo but not sure if Director Liang would mind. Can you help me sound her out? If Director Liang feels it’s okay, I’m ready to post it, thanks a lot!"

At this moment.

Jiang Shuihan, who was at home eating fruit to relieve hunger, was captivated by the message and video file that popped up on the screen.

"Huh? At this time, why would Brother Peng suddenly send me a message?"

A trace of curiosity emerged in her heart, the apple in her hand unconsciously slipped aside, her finger lightly tapped, and the video window opened in response.

Central on the screen, Wenshi Tofu was displayed like an artwork, delicate in color, the texture clear and alluring.

The background sound of the video was pure, with only Brother Peng’s deep and charming voice slowly flowing, giving life to each frame, making this dish more irresistibly attractive than she remembered.

Her gaze was tightly locked, unconsciously immersing herself in this feast of both visuals and sound.

As the video progressed, the picture transitioned, and Dragon Well Shrimp elegantly appeared, the crystal-clear shrimp highlighted by the green tea leaves, looking even more delicious, just seeing it makes one yearn, appetite increasing.

As Jiang Shuihan watched the video and listened to Lv Pengfei’s explanation, the wonderful taste of enjoying these foods emerged in her mind, and her mouth involuntarily secreted saliva, with her stomach timely growling, further intensifying her hunger.

At this moment...

She realized late Lv Pengfei’s "sinister intent."

"He sends her such mouth-watering video late at night, deliberately igniting her appetite!"

She mockingly complained yet had to admit the video was very well edited.

Thus, she resisted her hunger and finished watching the video, replying to Lv Pengfei with a message: "Brother Peng, your video editing is fantastic, I’m sure Director Liang will like it too. I’ll ask her opinion now for you."

Late at night, she can’t be "played" by Lv Pengfei alone.

For pain, everyone suffers together!

The next second...

She decisively forwarded the video to Liang Yinqiu.

Sure enough, Liang Yinqiu was deeply captivated by the food in the video, igniting her appetite.

Although expressing slight dissatisfaction with Jiang Shuihan and Lv Pengfei’s "sinister intent," she turned thoughts, as both had quite a few followers on Weibo, posting such videos would undoubtedly be great publicity for Dorami Kindergarten.

After contemplating, she agreed to their request, expressing readiness to post the video on Weibo.

Upon receiving Liang Yinqiu’s reply, Jiang Shuihan felt delighted, immediately informing Lv Pengfei of the good news: "Brother Peng, Director Liang agreed, you can post the video on Weibo! Now, not just me and Director Liang, more people will be ’played’ by your food video, haha!"

"Haha, you saw through me! I’m just trying to let more people experience this late-night temptation..."

He replied with a face showing "my sinister intent" openly, "my sinister intent" naturally, then slightly adjusted the video.

As the clock silently approached midnight...

He eagerly opened Weibo, uploading the meticulously edited video to his account.

Before clicking publish, he carefully composed a warm and sincere message for the video:

"In this peaceful evening, with a heart full of excitement, I unveil the secrets of Dorami Kindergarten’s kitchen with everyone."

"Tonight, I’m honored to be the messenger of this deliciousness, transforming bits from daily meals into a visual feast, shared with everyone."

"Here, each dish is a carefully crafted masterpiece; they not only fulfill the children’s nutritional needs for growth but also embody our love and pursuit of food."

"Every bite is the ultimate pampering of taste buds, letting one feel complete happiness and satisfaction in tasting."

"I sincerely hope this gift from Dorami Kindergarten’s kitchen touches your heartstrings, allowing you to find a touch of warmth and solace amid busy life."

"Thank you all for your attention and support, may food be the most beautiful connection in our lives..."

With the completion of this text, he gently clicked the publish button, sending this carefully prepared gift to every corner of the internet...
