Free Web NovelChapter 553: Chapter 491: I Don’t Believe It Unless You Let Me Try a Piece
As soon as the elderly men got their hands on the vibrant green spinach cake, they couldn’t wait to take big bites, their faces beaming with happiness.
Qingqing was earnestly helping the teachers and classmates tidy up the stall. Occasionally, she looked up with her clear, big eyes at the elderly men enjoying their food and sweetly reminded them, "Grandpas, don’t eat too fast, be careful not to choke. My daddy often tells me that eating slowly is good for the stomach~"
Weiwei also giggled playfully from the side, softly saying, "Yes, Grandpa, chew slowly one bite at a time, don’t just gulp it down in big bites, it’s not good for your stomach~"
Listening to these words, you can’t help but have your heart melted!
The elderly men paused their eager chewing, looking at the two adorable little ones with kindness and smiles in their eyes, "Haha, good kids, we grandpas are in good health, so naturally our appetites are good too. But we’ll remember what you said and be careful next time."
"Speaking of which, the spinach cake your dad taught you to make is really tasty; the flavor is simply irresistible!!"
"The cakes I’ve had before pale in comparison to yours, especially the ones my wife makes, which are almost hard enough to hurt someone, even a dog wouldn’t eat them. It’s my first time tasting such delicious spinach cake, what a delightful surprise!"
As they spoke, they continued to savor the delicious cake until each of them swallowed their last bite with satisfaction, unwillingly bidding farewell with smiles of contentment as they slowly headed homeward.
It’s not that they didn’t want to stay longer, but they keenly noticed the subtle change in the air around them—more and more parents and children gathered, their eyes filled with a lingering desire for the taste of the spinach cake, some children even had unwittingly glistening drool hanging from their mouths...
Their longing for the spinach cake was all too evident!
Therefore.
They worried that if they stayed any longer, the remaining spinach cake in their hands wouldn’t be safe, so they opted for the best strategy—to make a strategic retreat!
...
At the corner of the guardroom near Dorami Kindergarten, a streetlamp suddenly turned on, draping this small world in a gentle night veil.
A group of elderly men sat around an old stone table, an intense but silent contest of wits was playing out on the chessboard, yet the surrounding atmosphere was one of harmony.
"Follow the feeling, hold tight to the dream’s hand, the blue sky is getting closer and gentler, the mood is as free as the wind, suddenly discovering a completely different me..."
A melodious voice floated on the evening breeze, accompanied by brisk footsteps, getting closer, not only piercing the night but also quietly shifting everyone’s attention from the intense chess game.
The elderly men all raised their heads simultaneously, focusing their gaze on the old chess friend who had just entered the scene—Uncle Yang.
Uncle Yang was glowing with happiness, humming a tune, looking as cheerful as if he had just married a second wife.
An elderly man wearing reading glasses, puzzled, asked, "Hey, old Yang, what special day is it today that makes you so happy?"
"Yes, normally you’d be here playing chess by now, what made you late today? Did you find some place so enjoyable you lost track of time? Tell us, where have you been to have such fun?" Another elderly man inquired curiously.
"Yeah, yeah, tell us where you went; you came back so happy?" The other elderly men also chimed in with curiosity.
Uncle Yang grinned from ear to ear, answering, "I just went over to the Dorami Kindergarten to join in on some fun. Watching the innocent kids made me feel a few years younger. I also picked up some cakes to try."
As soon as he said this, the elderly men playing chess burst into laughter, teasing and joking one after another:
"Haha, Old Yang, doesn’t your wife also make cake? Why go out to buy it? Aren’t you afraid she’ll scold you for wasting money?"
"Old Yang, you’re known to be a penny pincher; what made you spend money on cake today? That’s not like you at all!"
"Indeed, what kind of cake could be so good that even frugal Uncle Yang was willing to spend money on it, truly makes one curious!"
"For Old Yang to spend money, it must have been on clearance sale, was the cake on discount?"
"..."
Uncle Yang, being teased, laughed until his eyes became slits, waved his hand, and happily said, "Forget about discounts; I paid full price. Let me tell you, this spinach cake is really marvelous. After one taste, I couldn’t resist buying a few more. If my wife knows, she’d surely love them too."
The chess friends, half-believing and half-doubting, asked, "Is it really that good?"
Uncle Yang proudly replied, "Of course! Let me tell you, this evening near the entrance of the Dorami Kindergarten, there was a ’Fruit and Vegetable Food Charity Sale.’ I joined in and tried their spinach cake, loved it instantly, so I bought some more to bring home. I heard that the spinach cake was taught by Chef Huang in the kindergarten, and it tastes really good, better than any cake from the breakfast shops around us!"
"I’ve heard about the skills of Dorami Kindergarten’s Chef Huang." The elderly man with reading glasses pondered for a moment and murmured, "I’ve heard his skills are superb, whether in cooking or making snacks, they make people drool. Every time I pass by the kindergarten’s entrance, the aroma is so enticing, you can’t help but think, the taste can’t be bad."
