"Really? Daddy!" The light of hope rekindled instantly in Qingqing and Weiwei’s eyes.
"Of course it’s true. When have I ever lied to you?" Huang Jun responded gently.
With this assurance.
Qingqing and Weiwei’s faces burst into happy smiles again, "Hee hee, Daddy’s frog dish must be delicious!"
In their excitement, they didn’t forget to pull in the nearby Yang Yuxi, "Miss Yang, tonight my daddy’s going to cook frog for us himself, you must come and try his cooking, okay?"
A warm feeling surged in Yang Yuxi’s heart, truly touched by the invitation, yet she hesitated slightly out of politeness, "I... won’t I be disturbing you?"
Huang Jun immediately understood Yang Yuxi’s concerns, smiling as he stepped in, "Miss Yang, don’t say that, it’s no bother. You should join us; you’re just going home alone anyway."
Not wanting to miss out on the soon-to-be-enjoyed dinner due to momentary hesitation, Yang Yuxi promptly nodded, "Alright then, thank you..."
"You’re welcome! Why don’t we try that restaurant over there? Their specialties are stone grilled barbecue and stone hotpot. It’s affordable, and the ingredients are plentiful and fresh."
Huang Jun checked his phone and found that the restaurant had high ratings and glowing customer reviews.
The chances of hitting a dud were quite slim.
"No problem!"
"I love barbecue the most..."
So, happily, the group walked in together.
The restaurant was bustling, with few seats left.
Fortunately, they found an empty table for four, avoiding the awkward wait outside.
Thoughtfully, Huang Jun picked up trays and tongs, handing them to Qingqing and Weiwei, speaking in a gentle tone, "Take whatever you like, but remember to take it in moderation. You can get more if you finish, otherwise, wasting food isn’t good."
"Oh, we understand, Daddy!"
The two little ones nodded obediently and then cheerfully ran off to pick their favorite foods.
Of course, their preferences weren’t lamb, beef, pork belly, seafood, or vegetables, but those colorful, sweet, and delectable little cream cakes, chocolate pastries, and ice cream treats.
No choice!
The allure of sweets is too strong!
"These two kids, well, as long as they’re happy!"
Huang Jun sighed softly, but his lips curled into a doting smile. Then, side by side with Yang Yuxi, each carrying a tray, he leisurely stepped into the ingredient section to carefully select their options.
’Dinner’s ready!’
The self-service barbecue feast isn’t about modesty or politeness, but about an insatiable hunger and a hearty appetite for gourmet food!
"Sizzle—"
With a crisp sound, two thinly-sliced, red-and-white marbled beef slices landed on the sizzling, oily stone slab, instantly sending up wisps of white steam. The interaction between heat and fat played out a breathtaking feast for the eyes, nose, and ears...
It was absolutely mouthwatering!
With practiced ease, Huang Jun flipped the tongs, turning over the golden, crispy beef. After a moment, he picked it up, dipped it in the sauce, and placed it firmly in Qingqing and Weiwei’s bowls.
"Qingqing, Weiwei, be careful, it’s hot, blow on it before you eat!"
Huang Jun gently reminded them, adding with concern, "Save the chocolate pastries and juice for later, or your little bellies will turn into round little balls, leaving no room for more delicious food!"
The two little ones had already eaten a chocolate pastry each and sipped half a cup of fresh orange juice. If this continued, they wouldn’t be able to eat anything else.
"Oh, we understand, Daddy..."
Qingqing and Weiwei mumbled a response and tried hard to swallow the pastries in their mouths.
At this moment, Yang Yuxi scooped out two enticingly colored shrimp from the pot. After a moment’s hesitation, she gently placed them into Huang Jun’s bowl. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke softly, "You should try it too, don’t just focus on taking care of them."
"Alright, thank you!"
With a smile, Huang Jun responded as he started peeling the shrimp. Taking a bite, he commented, "Hmm, not bad, these shrimp are quite fresh..."
Qingqing and Weiwei picked up the curled, tempting beef slices from their bowls with their chopsticks, puckering their small, puckered lips to blow on them with a "whoosh whoosh."
"Ah-wu—"
The crispy exterior and tender interior intertwined, perfectly merging with the special sauce. The layered flavors blossomed on their tongues, causing Qingqing and Weiwei’s eyes to become crescent-shaped and charming dimples to appear on their cheeks. In unison, they exclaimed, "Daddy’s grilled meat is super tasty!"
Yang Yuxi took a bite, "Indeed, it’s really good. The meat is grilled to a perfect, crispy outside and tender inside, and the sauce is well paired..."
"If you like it, I’ll grill more for you! Let’s have a ’get our money’s worth battle’ today and make this meal worthwhile!"
With a smile, Huang Jun said this while carefully using a wet wipe to clean the sauce from Qingqing and Weiwei’s mouths.
Hearing this, Yang Yuxi’s lips curled into a gentle smile as she softly commented, "That goal sounds like quite a challenge..."
For the four of them, even with the two kids counting as half price, truly "getting their money’s worth" was quite a difficult task, especially considering the little ones had already sampled plenty of pastries, leaving little space in their bellies.
Huang Jun chuckled, patting his chest, "Don’t worry, I’ve got this! If we don’t eat until the restaurant owner cries today, I’m not going home..."
Listening, Yang Yuxi couldn’t help but cover her mouth with a chuckle.
"Ah..."
Qingqing’s eyes widened in surprise and mild worry, "Daddy, that’s not really good, is it? Making the owner cry feels like doing something bad~"
Weiwei quickly nodded in agreement, "Yeah, Daddy, that’s not good."
Huang Jun laughed, quickly reassuring them, "Alright, alright, Daddy was just joking. Let’s just enjoy the food today and make sure we eat until we’re full, how about that?"
"Okay!" freewebnoveℓ.com
Upon hearing this, Weiwei was so happy she bounced in her seat with her little bottom, "I want to eat as much as big sis, and we’ll see who can eat happier!"
Although Qingqing had her doubts, seeing Weiwei so excited, she couldn’t help but get caught up in the excitement, "Alright, sis, then let’s have a food competition! I want to eat lots and lots of meat, chicken wings, shrimp, and tons of delicious food!"
Weiwei replied with determination, "No problem, big sis! Whatever you eat, I’ll eat, let’s cheer each other on!"
Amused by Weiwei’s seriousness, Qingqing finally agreed with a smile, "Alright then, let’s loosen our belts and eat together, and we’ll make sure to taste all the delicious food at this restaurant!"
"Mmm~"
