Free Web NovelChapter 544: Chapter 488: This Is an Unfair Competition
At half-past four in the afternoon, the bell quietly rang, and within Dorami Kindergarten, the children were not rushing to begin their dismissal routine. Instead, under the gentle guidance of their homeroom teachers, they focused intently on the final, exquisite packaging of their class’s food creations.
Indeed.
Today was different from the usual.
In the evening, a food fair event with a fruit and vegetable theme was warmly unfolding at the kindergarten entrance, ready to add a special color to the ordinary school day.
Therefore.
The dismissal time of the kindergarten was deliberately extended by about an hour to give this grand event ample warm-up time.
Fortunately, this subtle yet important change...
Every teacher in the kindergarten had already communicated it timely and meticulously to each parent through the cozy bridge of the parent group the day before. This allowed parents to arrange their schedules leisurely and avoided unnecessary anxiety and confusion due to information asymmetry.
At this moment, the kindergarten entrance was unusually quiet, with no parent visiting early.
Parents were still busy with their own affairs, planning to pick up their children within the scheduled time and then have a chance to glimpse the food stalls of their children’s class.
If the prices were right and the offerings decent, the parents would spend money to support the little ones’ stalls.
As time ticked by, the initial quiet at the entrance was gradually broken.
Some classes had already moved the food stalls they had meticulously prepared over the days to the designated areas near the entrance.
"Teacher Jiang, how do you think our class’s stall is set up? I feel that although we carefully arranged it, it still lacks a bit of flair, a little something to catch the eye," Zeng Qiaoxian said while finely adjusting the stall decorations and turned to the beside Jiang Xinzhuo for her opinion.
Hmm.
As they say, ’If your cooking isn’t impressive, make up for it with exquisite packaging.’
Therefore, if the food stall isn’t outstanding, it naturally needs fancy decorations to make up for it~
Such a strong combination will surely achieve good results!
"Teacher Zeng, what you said is very true. If we want to shine among the many food stalls, we indeed need to add a bit more flair," Jiang Xinzhuo pondered for a moment and proposed, "How about we add some colorful lights? So that our stall becomes more dazzling in the night, turning into the brightest star in the food area."
Zeng Qiaoxian’s eyes lit up hearing this and nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Exactly, exactly, it gets dark early now, around five the sky darkens. The colorful lights twinkling can be warm and attractive, surely making our stall a focal point."
She then added, "Teacher Jiang, don’t we still have those colorful lights from National Day in the classroom? I packed them away back then, how about I go retrieve them, and we realize this idea together."
Jiang Xinzhuo nodded slightly, with a faint smile on her lips, "Alright, then it’s settled. I’ll trouble you, Teacher Zeng, to run this errand."
"No trouble, no trouble..."
Zeng Qiaoxian waved her hand, looking relaxed, "I also need to return to the classroom to fetch the remaining children’s fresh radish rolls, just along the way."
After finishing her decoration work swiftly, she stood up and headed towards the kindergarten.
Along the way, Zeng Qiaoxian’s figure weaved through the joyful laughter, occasionally encountering other class teachers or caregivers, exchanging warm smiles and cordial greetings with each other.
"Teacher Zeng, you truly are a busy person!"
"Haha, same to you all, aren’t you too!"
At this moment, a teacher half-jokingly and half-seriously asked, "Teacher Zeng, why aren’t you busy at your own class’s food stall but instead running back to the kindergarten? Are you planning a ’strategic retreat,’ sneaking off for a break?"
Zeng Qiaoxian laughed at the words, her laugh crisp and pleasant, like silver bells ringing around: "You’re really good at joking! I’m going to fetch the children’s carefully made foods from the classroom."
Regarding the "secret plan" to retrieve colorful lights to enhance the stall’s atmosphere, she kept her lips sealed and said nothing.
After all, this fruit and vegetable food fair, despite its original intention of charity and sharing, had unwittingly fostered a sense of friendly competition among the classes.
This kind of "trade secret," she naturally had to protect carefully, lest the other classes learn and imitate, which would strip away its unique charm and significance...
Zeng Qiaoxian silently praised her own cleverness, and walked briskly into the classroom of small class 3.
"Teacher Zeng, you’ve returned just in time, I just designed and printed some flyers with pictures and prices of our food on them; take a look at how they turned out?" Wei Siyi, who was in the classroom watching the children wrap food, handed her a stack of freshly printed flyers when Zeng Qiaoxian returned.
Zeng Qiaoxian took the flyers, examined them carefully, and couldn’t help but nod in praise, "Teacher Wei, your design is truly creative, the food pictures make one’s mouth water! Even if Teacher Jiang saw them, she would definitely say they are excellent!"
Wei Siyi’s smile widened at this, "Haha, undoubtedly! I poured quite a lot of effort into it. By the way, Teacher Zeng, the children’s food packaging work is all completed. You can now move everything to the stall."
"Alright, I’ll find the colorful lights first and then bring everything over together!"
Amidst her response, Zeng Qiaoxian walked over to the storage cabinet and began searching skillfully.
