Chapter 764: Chapter 565: This Must Be the Chasm Between the Gifted and Ordinary People!

Liu Shiwei feigned a wronged smile and said, "Oh, wife, do you really think I’m someone who doesn’t know what’s good for him? Also, don’t ’see the sky from the bottom of a well’ and underestimate my potential! Come on, give me a little confidence!"

Huang Jun smiled and nodded, then casually waved his hand, signaling Wen Xueqian not to worry too much: "Sister-in-law, you’re overthinking it. As the saying goes, there’s no student who can’t be taught, only a teacher who can’t teach. As long as Brother Liu has the determination and passion, I, Huang Jun, am confident his cooking skills will advance by leaps and bounds."

As soon as Liu Shiwei heard this, it was like he was filled with endless motivation, thumping his chest with confidence as he assured, "Brother Huang is right, as long as I’m willing to put in the effort, there’s nothing I, Liu Shiwei, can’t learn!"

Wen Xueqian thought of the saying "a famous teacher produces excellent students," and perhaps Huang Jun really could work wonders and let Liu Shiwei’s originally "hard-to-appreciate" cooking skills experience a magnificent transformation, sparing her from the taste torture of those "culinary disasters."

Thinking of this,

her gaze involuntarily turned to Huang Jun, then gently shifted to Liu Shiwei, a smile of encouragement curling at the corner of her mouth, "Alright, I’ll eagerly anticipate it and wish you success in advance!"

"Thanks to the good words from my dear wife..."

Liu Shiwei wore a slight smile, throwing a gentle glance towards Wen Xueqian.

This scene, in Huang Jun’s eyes, was undoubtedly open flirtation, causing his body to involuntarily break out in goosebumps...

So then...

He chose the "out of sight, out of mind" strategy, speeding up the dumpling skin rolling, as if saying, "As long as I roll fast enough, the sweetness can’t keep up with my pace..."

For a moment...

The dining room echoed with the continuous "thud, thud, thud~" sounds.

The rolling pin danced lightly in Huang Jun’s hand, every contact with the dough was perfect, and the dough under his skillful hands instantly turned into perfectly round skins.

Once he finished rolling...

Huang Jun didn’t even look, casually flicking it, and a skin flew into the air as if it had life, gracefully spinning mid-air before quietly landing on the stack of skins in front, neatly arranged.

It was like meticulous placement, a seamless fit!

Moreover, each skin was nearly the same size, with no discernible difference to the naked eye...

Simply miraculous!

Liu Shiwei and the others were captivated by this amazing craft, their dumpling-making actions paused in mid-air, eyes unblinkingly watching as skins continuously flew from Huang Jun’s hands.

Floating lightly in the air, spinning, and all landing steadily on the stack of skins, neatly piled up in a layer.

If they didn’t know Huang Jun was rolling dumpling skins, they might have really thought he was performing acrobatics!

Watching this scene, Liu Shiwei couldn’t help but exclaim, "Brother Huang, your skill is beyond my reach; it’ll take me years of dedication to learn it!"

Wen Xueqian agreed, "Indeed, this is not something that can be achieved overnight. Even if I practice diligently for ten years, I might not reach one-tenth of your current level. This is probably the chasm between those with extraordinary talent and ordinary people!"

Qingqing and Weiwei, along with Liu Ruihan, chimed in from the side, "Papa (uncle-papa) is indeed amazing; our eyes can’t keep up..."

"Don’t just praise, hurry up and start wrapping, or else we won’t have dumplings to eat at noon..."

Huang Jun smiled faintly, his hands not stopping.

A moment later...

After he finished rolling all the dumpling skins, Huang Jun finally put down the rolling pin and joined the dumpling wrapping.

However, his dumpling wrapping speed was like being on steroids, incredibly fast, drawing astonished and admiring glances from Liu Shiwei and the others, who also sped up but still couldn’t keep up with him.

Finally...

Huang Jun, single-handedly, took the lead and carried out two-thirds of the dumpling wrapping task.

"All done!"

Huang Jun satisfiedly patted the flour off his hands, his gentle gaze falling on the neatly piled, full trays of dumplings on the dining table, his lips curling into a satisfied smile.

"Papa is amazing; he wrapped so many dumplings all by himself!" Weiwei gave a thumbs up, her eyes shining with admiration for Huang Jun.

Liu Ruihan also gave a thumbs up, full of respect: "Uncle-papa, you’re truly our super chef!"

At this moment, Qingqing came over with a teacup, offering it to Huang Jun: "Papa, have some water, take a break."

"Thank you!"

Huang Jun reached out to take it and took a sip.

I think today’s tea is a bit sweet!

Wen Xueqian beamed and praised, "Oh, Qingqing is really a little sweetheart, so young but already serving tea to her dad, it’s really enviable..."

Qingqing, suddenly praised, blushed with shyness, hiding bashfully by Huang Jun’s side, looking down in silence, yet feeling a little triumphant inside.

"Yes, Qingqing is really considerate..."

Liu Shiwei nodded in agreement and then turned to his darling daughter, Liu Ruihan, earnestly saying, "Hanhan, you must learn from Qingqing, be a filial and considerate good child, okay?"

He hoped that the implicit message was that she could also care for him, her dad.

Liu Ruihan replied cheerfully, "Got it, Daddy, I’ll definitely learn from Qingqing."

After saying that, she turned and ran into the living room, leaving behind a string of bell-like laughter.

Liu Shiwei watched her figure perplexedly, seeing her return with a plate of fruit, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of warmth, subconsciously thinking his precious daughter brought it to honor him.

However.

Just as he was about to reach out, he saw Liu Ruihan hand the fruit to Huang Jun, saying sweetly, "Godfather, have some fruit..."

Liu Shiwei was stunned, his smile froze instantly, and a mix of emotions swelled in his heart.

This daughter of mine, perhaps... was she born in vain?!

Speaking of which.

While he’s not too old yet, should he and his wife try for another one tonight?!

"Thank you!"

Huang Jun bent down and opened his mouth to receive the cherry Liu Ruihan fed him, savoring it while kindly reminding her, "Hanhan, your mom and dad worked hard making dumplings, remember to give them some too..."

"Mm-hmm~ okay!"

Liu Ruihan nodded obediently and then sprang into action, feeding her parents fruit one by one from her hands.

Although late attentiveness is valued less, faced with the personal feeding from his precious daughter, Liu Shiwei decided to forgive her momentarily and accept this gesture.

He began to eat and enjoy!

Huang Jun looked up at the clock on the wall, seeing the hour hand had quietly passed eleven, so he spoke gently, breaking the silence in the room: "Is everyone getting hungry?"

"Brother Huang, now that you mention it, I do feel a little hungry!"

Liu Shiwei rubbed his stomach, which was making a rumbling sound.

"Godfather, listen, my stomach is already singing, grumbling, grumbling..."

Liu Ruihan playfully patted her small belly, mimicking the rumbling sound of hunger, amusing everyone present.

She blinked her big eyes and continued earnestly, "Godfather, did you know? Just so I could eat more of your cooking, I only had a slice of bread and a glass of milk this morning, saving space for your meal..."

"Oh dear, in that case, I need to properly reward you, my little foodie!"

Huang Jun laughed in response, his eyes filled with affection.

Afterwards, Liu Shiwei picked up a tray full of dumplings, turned, and entered the kitchen, busily boiling water to prepare for cooking the dumplings.

As the water in the pot gradually boiled, making bubbling sounds...

He lifted the lid, and a wave of heat rushed at him, swiftly, he slid the neatly arranged dumplings from the tray into the boiling water along the side of the pot.

As soon as the dumplings touched the water, they created layers of fine ripples.

Once all the dumplings were safely in the pot, he quickly covered the pot and turned to fetch a small basin of clear water.

Water pouring is a crucial step in boiling dumplings, it makes the dumpling skins more elastic and prevents them from breaking due to rolling in the pot.

When the water in the pot boiled again, he poured half of the basin of clear water into the pot.

As the number of dumplings was large, and the pot quite big, adding too little wouldn’t have much effect!

After three water additions, the dumplings were finally cooked.
