And so many college and high school students were pulled by their parents to watch online classes, with the ID being a kindergarten.
Down below were seen students like Zhao Jie, He Lingfeng, and some other little friends.
Professor Liu was lecturing on top. Outside the live stream, the students really understood.
As the professor explained lucidly and clearly.
Very accessible for high school or college students.
There were many people attending the course online.
But only a few delivered it in a way that was easy to understand, requiring the lecturer to have an exceptionally high level of proficiency.
This was a course specially tailored by Professor Liu for third-tier students, who would have thought it would be used here.
Many who attended the online classes felt the effect was quite good, and so it spread by word of mouth.
The kindergarten's official WeChat account gained many student fans, and this number kept increasing.
The academic atmosphere at the kindergarten was so strong.
Shen Wei was also very pleased.
Liu Chef approached Shen Wei about another matter: "We can't finish all the vegetables in our little garden."
Previously, they had only opened up a small vegetable patch.
Liu Chef had never seen such a thing before.
From planting to harvesting, they just kept growing after being picked.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, just brushing off the dust and eating them fresh, soft and sweet in the mouth.
Much tastier than those bought from outside.
Liu Chef said, "Can we give these to the students' parents?"
He had his own little thoughts too.
The little garden produced such delicious vegetables, he couldn't help but want to hear praise from others.
Shen Wei said, "Will it be enough?"
They had quite a number of students now.
Liu Chef said, "It's enough, I've been picking them for two days!"
With two pounds given to each person, there was still plenty left.
Shen Wei said, "Okay then, go ahead and arrange it."
Not just for the students' parents, but also for the teachers and teaching assistants as well.
After Liu Chef told Shen Wei about this, he happily went to announce it to everyone.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw his senior Chef Chen, holding a big ladle with a dark look on his face.
It gave Liu Chef quite a fright.
Chef Chen bitterly said, "I've been eyeing that little vegetable garden for a while now, waiting for them to ripen so I could pick them. And you've gone and given away such good vegetables."
Liu Chef said, "Well, shared joy is a greater joy!"
With Chef Chen now wielding the ladle and receiving high praises, that was enough for him.
Liu Chef, having now retreated to the sidelines, still had a feeling of restless energy with no outlet.
His cooking prowess had also been overshadowed by Chef Chen, but this vegetable patch was what he tended to.
By giving them away, he could hear many praises.
This little thought, Chef Chen knew well, "This once is allowed, but not again next time."
Liu Chef nodded and said, "Got it!"
He then cheerfully went out.
Chef Chen let out a cold snort, perhaps having stayed at the kindergarten for too long, he had become childish too.
Otherwise, it was hard to explain why he was so easily ruffled.
Ever since learning that the vegetable patch he had been watching over for a long time would be given away by his junior chef, Chef Chen's face was shrouded in black aura.
In the back kitchen, no one dared utter a word, for fear of provoking Chef Chen's anger.
So on that day when classes ended, every child carried a two-pound bag of vegetables, two varieties each.
Either cucumbers and tomatoes,
Or tomatoes and baby greens.
The tomatoes they had were exceptional, completely edible as fruits, with a well-balanced sweet and sour taste.
If sprinkled with white sugar, wow, a mouthful of sweet fragrance, perfect as a cold dish or even for drinking.
When Meng Meng came home carrying the vegetables, Elder Sister Xu asked, "Where did these vegetables come from?"
Meng Meng said, "From the kindergarten, let's make something with them today!"
Elder Sister Xu smiled and said, "Sure, we'll go with what Meng Meng says!" She stir-fried some tomato and egg, and sautéed the baby greens with garlic.
As the tomato and egg sizzled in the oil, the aroma of tomatoes quickly released.
The rich tomato fragrance was invigorating to smell.
Much more fragrant than the ones she used to buy from the market.
The eggs looked even more golden-yellow against the backdrop of the tomatoes.
Soon after they were plated, the other dish was cooked.
These vegetables should not be overcooked, and as soon as they were tossed in the wok, the whole family couldn't sit still anymore.
Her husband couldn't help but say, "I wanted to go into the kitchen when you were cooking, it smelled so good!"
"Quick, give it a taste, these are from Meng Meng's kindergarten!"
Meng Meng's father exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, your kindergarten is so good they even give out vegetables!"
As he spoke, he picked up a tomato and put it in his mouth, the sweet and sour taste was truly astonishing, making him crave rice.
After that one bite, everyone switched to using spoons, scooping the dishes onto their rice.
In no time, the tomato and egg was gone.
Everyone then moved their chopsticks to the sautéed greens.
The greens looked a bit plain.
The family didn't really enjoy eating them.
But this time, the greens tasted completely different, crisp and fresh with a sweet aftertaste when taken into the mouth.
For these two dishes, they would usually have some leftovers in the past.
But this time, they finished everything and still weren't full.
When Meng Meng's father went to get more rice, he found the rice pot empty. He said with embarrassment, "You didn't cook much today!"
Elder Sister Xu gave him a look, "I cook this much every day!"
Who knew these vegetables would be so enjoyable that it made the rice insufficient.
Elder Sister Xu said, "Since you're still hungry, let me make you some noodles!"
Meng Meng's father asked, "Is there any more of those vegetables?"
Elder Sister Xu said, "There are a few leaves left, I was planning to make vegetable porridge for the child."
He felt a bit embarrassed, "If it's for the child, then nevermind!"
He couldn't very well take food from a child.
Elder Sister Xu said, "Meng Meng eats better than you every day, if you're hungry, I'll use those vegetables to make you some noodles."
She realized that today's praise wasn't because of her cooking skills, but because the vegetables were good.
"Okay then." Her husband grinned widely.
Soon a plate of plain noodles arrived, with the baby greens on top looking especially appetizing.
The greens that used to be just a garnish were completely finished today.
After they were full, he said, "Wife, these vegetables are so delicious, ask them where they bought them, we should get some too next time!"
Elder Sister Xu's pretty face turned red as she replied, "Sure, I'll ask for you!"
She then opened the WeChat group, which was flooded with people asking where they could buy these vegetables.
They were really too delicious.
Some weren't even willing to cook the cucumbers they got.
The whole family washed and snapped them open to eat raw.
The teachers said they were grown in the school's vegetable garden, organic vegetables without pesticides. But they're all gone now.
Next time, we'll talk about it if there's anything!
Everyone heard it's no wonder it tastes so good.
The parents of these students were praising the kindergarten to the skies, saying the kindergarten really does whatever it says, being so great at cultivating a small vegetable garden.
At this moment, Liu Chef, who had just returned home from work, was delightedly looking at his phone, unable to keep up with all the praises.
