Free Web NovelChapter 556: Chapter 492: Isn’t This Obviously Creating More Competition for Yourself?
On the other side.
Around Dorami Kindergarten, passing pedestrians and drivers witnessed something that left them puzzled.
A group of elderly people, those over sixty, were sprinting along the sidewalk with surprising speed.
Some of the passersby walking together couldn’t help but whisper among themselves:
"Is there some special discount event at a nearby supermarket tonight?"
"I haven’t heard of any, if there were such a good deal, how come I don’t know about it!"
"That’s right, I also didn’t receive any supermarket flyers, it’s really strange."
Just as everyone was discussing, the voices of these elderly folks reached their ears:
"Quick, quick, quick, Dorami Kindergarten is just ahead..."
"Where’s the food stall in the kindergarten? I can’t see it!"
"They said it’s at a corner by the kindergarten gate, just look around and you’ll find it?"
"..."
Hearing these dialogues, some of the passersby instantly captured two key pieces of information: one is "Dorami Kindergarten," the other is the "food stall" inside the kindergarten.
Regarding "Dorami Kindergarten," they were naturally familiar and not strangers to it.
So...
They immediately became interested, eagerly going forward to inquire: "Uncle, what food stall are you talking about?"
Hearing such questions, many of the uncles instinctively prepared to deny answering, but Uncle Ding, with his warm heart, quickly blurted out the matter:
"You don’t know... It’s Dorami Kindergarten hosting a ’Fruits and Vegetables Food Sale’ at the gate. Chef Huang personally teaches the kids to make food! I heard the spinach cake is particularly delicious, so I’m about to check it out and buy some to taste!"
The other uncles beside him couldn’t help but cast a helpless gaze at Uncle Ding, silently blaming: you just said it straightforwardly, isn’t it clear you’re adding competition for yourself? Old Ding, you’re so muddled...
Uncle Ding, realizing the meaning in the other uncles’ eyes, sees the eager expressions of the passersby: "..."
Speaking of which.
Is it still possible for him to take back those words?
But words spoken are like water spilled...
Impossible to retrieve!
Alright~
Uncle Ding could only face it all with a bitter smile.
Then he quickly sped up his pace, running faster. As long as he could run ahead of these young folks, was he afraid of not being able to buy anything?
"Everyone keep up the pace, continue running, don’t dawdle... If we arrive late and they’ve packed up, we’ll have run in vain!" Uncle Ding shouted as he ran, urging loudly.
These words were like a surge of electricity, instantly igniting the vitality among the uncles, who accelerated simultaneously, closely following Uncle Ding.
Their steps were so vigorous...
Almost they seemed to run fast enough to leave a shadow...
Honestly calling them "wind-like old men" wouldn’t be an exaggeration...
This scene completely shattered the stereotype of elderly people moving slowly, among the young passersby, their wide-eyed expressions of disbelief, astonishment overflowed, nearly dropping their jaws.
"Oh my~"
The youngsters gasped: "Have these uncles been injected with chicken’s blood or something? So fierce!"
The brief shock quickly faded, and then they were deeply touched by the ever-growing energy, joining the run without hesitation, with hearts full of infinite anticipation and longing for the legendary food at Dorami Kindergarten...
Everyone knows, Dorami Kindergarten’s food is famous, its aroma enough to make one drool.
Now.
An unexpected opportunity to satisfy their taste buds appeared in front of them, how could they let it slip away?
What?
The food event in the kindergarten wasn’t made by Chef Huang alone, but under his guidance, with kids making the food.
Ah, these details are important.
Watching the uncles give it their all to run, it’s clear the taste won’t be bad.
After all, the news from the uncles and aunties is the most up-to-date and reliable!
Moreover, these little kiddos in the kindergarten aren’t even tall enough for the stovetop, what could they do?
At most, they’re just helping out a bit on the side.
The real work, is still done by Chef Huang.
Then... publicly it’s called Chef Huang teaching kids hands-on how to make food.
But no matter how it’s talked about, as long as it’s tasty, who cares about the presentation!
Everyone understands that, with faces still bearing those coy smiles: "Hehe, so that’s it, huh."
Only...
As everyone arrived at Dorami Kindergarten gate breathlessly, the sight before them left them stunned.
The kindergarten gate and surroundings were quiet, the anticipated food stalls were nowhere to be seen, appearing as if they never existed.
If not for the lingering tempting aroma in the air, if not for the clearly visible six words "Dorami Kindergarten," they would nearly doubt if they had come to the wrong place.
"Huh? Did they pack up already?"
"Looking at this, seems like it!"
"Oh, looks like we ultimately came a step too late..."
"..."
The uncles exchanged glances, their faces once filled with anticipation slowly replaced with helplessness.
But they were not reconciled, looking around hoping to find some overlooked signs.
Some even dashed to the kindergarten’s gatehouse, eagerly asking Uncle Li: "Hello, I heard your kindergarten is hosting a ’Fruits and Vegetables Food Sale,’ came specifically to buy, but can’t see any stalls, is it finished already?"
Uncle Li, just about to finish his shift, faced with this sudden crowd, couldn’t help but pause, but soon responded, with a hint of apology and courtesy: "Yes, the event has ended, and the stalls have all been packed up, the teachers are off work too. I’m sorry, but you all should head back, I’m really sorry you’ve come in vain."
