Chapter 521 - 480: Regret (Part 2)
Once all the dough was covered with a golden "armor," Huang Jun picked up the hefty rolling pin.
In his hands, the rolling pin seemed to transform into the silken ribbon of a dancer, gracefully sketching a series of smooth trajectories in the air, each descent accompanied by a crisp "bang bang bang," like an urgent drumbeat, full of rhythm.
Under his hands, the dough seemed to come alive, expanding rapidly with each swift press and pull of the rolling pin, becoming thinner and wider while maintaining perfect evenness.
His movements were so quick that they were almost invisible, only the rapid transformation of the dough under the rolling pin could be felt.
Within just a few seconds.
The once plump dough had metamorphosed into a wide, thin sheet.
"Chef Huang, your noodle-rolling skills are truly superb; this speed is simply awe-inspiring!" Even though Qian Guoxiang and others were accustomed to this sight, they couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, their eyes full of respect.
"You’re too kind!"
Huang Jun humbly smiled again, then returned his focus to the task at hand.
Before long...
The dough, under his skillful hands, had all become smooth, evenly thick dough sheets.
Next, he evenly spread the prepared red bean paste onto each sheet.
After laying out the bean paste, Huang Jun expertly rolled the dough sheet from one end, each roll perfect, leaving no gaps.
Once they were all rolled into plump cylinders...
He picked up a masterful kitchen knife, gave a slight flick of his wrist, and with a flash of the blade, the long cylinder was cut into uniformly sized, neatly arranged segments, like meticulously crafted works of art, pleasing to the eye.
Finally, he grabbed a handful of golden soy flour, sprinkling it evenly over the "Donkey Rolls," the golden specks like stars, adding an alluring color and aroma to this delicacy.
At this point, a plate of the "Donkey Rolls," complete with color, aroma, and flavor, was perfectly presented to everyone.
"Chef Huang, is it ready?"
Aunt Li and Aunt Lin, with eyes full of longing for the delicacies, asked almost simultaneously, their eagerness and anticipation evident.
Huang Jun, looking at their eager faces, smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, you can try some first. Later, you two can load these ’Donkey Rolls’ on a cart and take them to the activity room to treat the children."
Due to the need for observation after the vaccine injections, the nursery teachers were also busy looking after the vaccinated children and had no time to fetch the snacks, so the kitchen staff took on the extra responsibility of delivering the treats.
In his heart, Huang Jun was quite concerned about Qingqing and Weiwei, worried if their little faces were frowning from the injections, or if they were crying from the pain.
He was full of care and wanted to go over to check on them and comfort them right away.
But he was also worried that his presence might make the little ones feel more aggrieved, or even affect the emotions of other children, causing headaches for the teachers!
Therefore.
To avoid such a situation, and since he still had to prepare lunch, he could only suppress his impulse, burying his longing and concern deep in his heart.
"Alright, Chef Huang, rest assured, we’ll take them over soon."
Aunt Li and Aunt Lin spoke as they eagerly reached out, each grabbing a tempting golden "Donkey Roll," taking a gentle bite.
The outer layer of soybean flour quickly melted in their mouths, releasing a rich bean aroma, followed by the soft texture of glutinous rice and the delicate sweetness of red bean paste, perfectly blending on their tongues. The delightful taste made them involuntarily close their eyes, indulging in the pure satisfaction...
Aunt Li’s eyes sparkled with surprise, unable to resist praising, "Mmm, it’s really fragrant!"
Aunt Lin was equally enraptured, chewing as she nodded in agreement, "Chef Huang’s skill is truly exquisite; these ’Donkey Rolls’ are even better than the ones bought outside! Soft, sticky, and just right for toothsome enjoyment."
"The red bean paste is also perfect, sweet but not cloying, and when paired with the glutinous rice and soybean flour, it’s simply a match made in heaven!" Qian Guoxiang also took a bite, nodding in satisfaction.
After eating one "Donkey Roll," Aunt Li and Aunt Lin, though still longing for that wonderful taste, resisted the urge to eat more and prepared to carry out Huang Jun’s task.
Quickly delivering them, so they could come back and enjoy more "Donkey Rolls" sooner!
The two efficiently placed the dishes of "Donkey Rolls" on the cart, then steadily pushed the cart loaded with the delicacies to the door of the activity room, calling out as they entered, "Children, breakfast is here~"
At this moment.
Whether they were the children waiting in line for their vaccinations, or those already vaccinated and staying here for observation, the little bit of unease and pain they had felt from the shots were swept away by the sudden appearance of the treats.
Their little faces all blossomed with bright smiles.
Excitement was overflowing!
The next second...
They all started clamoring joyfully.
"Yay~ breakfast is here..."
"Wow, the fragrant breakfast is here, I want to eat breakfast, I want to eat breakfast..."
"..."
In no time...
The previously somewhat gloomy activity room became lively because of this.
The teachers, seeing the children’s elated state, were also infected by the cheerful atmosphere, their faces glowing with warmth, saying, "Today’s snack is delicious ’Donkey Rolls,’ please sit properly, everyone will get a share!"
