Cai Jingxian couldn’t help but show a worried expression, saying helplessly: "If it still doesn’t work, it might delay the opening of our class’s food stall..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell into deep thought.
If it can’t open, the children might burst into tears in the classroom...
The children looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
At this critical moment...
Zheng Yujia suddenly had a moment of clarity, immediately suggesting: "Why don’t we... ask Chef Huang for help?"
It was truly a wake-up call to everyone...
Cai Jingxian’s eyes lit up and she said: "Yes... Why didn’t I think of that! Let’s invite Chef Huang over to be our food consultant. I believe he will definitely have a way to help us solve these problems."
The children listened and instantly felt invigorated, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Right! Let’s ask Uncle Chef Huang; his dishes and pastries are so delicious, he will definitely be able to make tanghulu!"
"Yeah, Uncle Chef Huang can also make sugar figures, and sugar figures are made of sugar too, so he’ll surely make amazing tanghulu for us."
"In that case, what are we waiting for? Let’s quickly take action and go invite Uncle Chef Huang to help us fulfill this sweet wish in the kitchen!"
"Teacher, let’s set off now to ask Uncle Chef Huang to come and help us..."
"..."
Cai Jingxian smiled and nodded, gently saying: "Alright, children, you stay here and wait. Teacher will go invite Uncle Chef Huang to join us in making delicious tanghulu."
Wu Meijuan recalled: "Teacher Cai, when I went to the kitchen to deliver the catering bins earlier, I saw Chef Huang going to Class 4’s classroom. Do you think he might be there helping them cook too?"
"It’s very likely..."
Cai Jingxian thought about Huang Jun’s twin daughters being in Class 4, and it would be quite normal for him to lend a hand, she already had the answer in her heart and nodded: "I’ll go check Class 4, you two stay and watch over the children."
Zheng Yujia and Wu Meijuan nodded in agreement: "Alright, Teacher Cai, you can go assured, we’ll take care of things here!"
"Children, listen to Teacher Wu and Teacher Zheng obediently, Teacher Cai will be back soon..."
After the instructions, Cai Jingxian walked out of the classroom briskly, descended the stairs, and arrived in front of Class 4’s classroom.
She stood at the door, listening through the crack, hearing Huang Jun’s familiar and patient voice, step-by-step guiding the kids on how to determine the heat.
She listened quietly for a while, couldn’t help but praise Huang Jun’s meticulous and patient manner in her heart, also feeling she found the right person!
"Knock Knock~"
She knocked gently on the door and pushed it open directly.
Yang Yuxi and others instinctively looked up at the sound, seeing Cai Jingxian, they smiled and greeted her: "Teacher Cai, why have you suddenly graced our Class 4, is there something you need?"
Cai Jingxian smiled and said: "Miss Yang, I’m here to find Chef Huang!"
"Looking for me?"
Huang Jun felt quite surprised, showing a puzzled expression.
Cai Jingxian stated her purpose: "Yes, Chef Huang, I’m here for you. Our class encountered some issues in making tanghulu, and we want to invite you over to guide us a bit."
Yang Yuxi and Xie Jianing: "..."
I see you as a good colleague, yet you’re stealing my helper right in front of me!
This is too unkind...
Huang Jun thought for a moment and agreed: "Teacher Cai, no problem, I’ll go right away."
With that, he turned to the kids in Class 4 and said: "Children, Uncle will first help the older brothers and sisters in Class 2 for a bit, you keep an eye on the heat, I’ll be back soon."
Finally, he looked at Yang Yuxi, earnestly instructing: "Miss Yang, assist a little, steam for another 20 minutes then turn off the heat, but don’t rush to lift the lid, let it sit for five more minutes before taking it out, then steam the others."
Yang Yuxi and the other three teachers nodded and agreed: "Got it, Qingqing’s dad, don’t worry, we’ll take care of it."
Cai Jingxian took a peek at the Class 4 kids’ culinary creations, instantly impressed by the elegant appearance of the spinach cakes, quickly realizing their success owed much to Huang Jun’s efforts.
Now.
Her confidence grew stronger.
She believed her class’s children, under Huang Jun’s guidance, could definitely make perfect tanghulu.
Even if it’s not perfect, the look and taste wouldn’t be bad.
At least, they wouldn’t be unsold, falling to the parents of their class having to buy them to maintain the final dignity...
"Teacher Cai, let’s go!"
Seeing Cai Jingxian lost in thought, Huang Jun reminded her and then accompanied her to Class 2’s classroom.
His arrival immediately caused a small stir.
"Ah, Teacher Cai is back, Teacher Cai is back, she brought Uncle Chef Huang back!"
"Uncle Chef Huang, you’re finally here! We’ve been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Haha, with Uncle Chef Huang here, our tanghulu is saved!"
"..."
Faced with the children’s enthusiasm, Huang Jun smiled slightly and, taking a look at the tanghulu wrapped in "sugar armor" on the plate, immediately understood the reason.
"Don’t worry, kids, actually the concentration and temperature of the syrup affect the tanghulu, let’s solve this problem together! We can try adding more maltose then continue simmering, let the pot’s temperature reach around 30 degrees..."
