Chapter 768: Chapter 567: Teaching to Fish Is Better Than Giving Fish

"Click, click~"

Huang Jun deftly pressed the shutter, taking several photos of the sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner on the table. He then shared a post on his social media: "On the occasion of the Spring Festival, words seem inadequate. Here, I extend my sincerest wishes to all my friends and family: May you have a joyful Lunar New Year, smile often, and have all your wishes come true; may health and happiness always be by your side, with family harmony, happiness, and well-being..."

After posting, he smiled with satisfaction and was about to gently put his phone back into his pocket.

But just then...

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The phone started vibrating nonstop, emitting a series of beeping sounds that caught his attention.

Curious, he picked up the phone, and the screen showed a string of like icons, with the number continually increasing.

Not only that, the comment section was unusually lively and bustling.

The teachers at the school all left their comments:

"This New Year’s Eve dinner looks mouth-watering even through the screen! Happy New Year, Chef Huang. May every day be as beautiful as this for you!"

"Thank you for the wishes, and likewise, wishing you and your family a Happy New Year, good health, and a daily dose of happiness!"

"This table of New Year’s Eve dishes is just like my ’dream meal’! Sadly, I can’t be there to taste it in person right now, so I’ll just have to swallow my saliva in silence, feeling a bit down~ Mushrooms and blues."

"..."

As he browsed the comments, a delighted smile slowly crept onto his face.

Soon after, his attention was drawn to a comment from Xie Jianing: "Qingqing’s dad, I think your cooking has spoiled my palate. While I was home, the fish tasted too fishy, the meat not tender enough, and the soup not flavorful enough. My mom said if it weren’t for New Year’s, she’d really enforce ’family law’..."

Seeing this.

Huang Jun couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking that if Xie Jianing expressed herself this bluntly in front of her mom, she’d really be asking for a spanking...

Seeing other teachers jokingly follow suit, claiming their own palates had become picky due to his cooking and demanding he take responsibility...

He responded uniformly: "Alright, I’ll take full responsibility. As the saying goes, ’Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.’ Once school resumes, I’ll personally teach you all how to cook!"

Immediately.

Everyone stopped joking around!

They all quickly replied, "Haha, no thanks, we know our limits, and we’re not cut out for that!"

Huang Jun chuckled, then put away his phone and enthusiastically called out, "Qingqing, Hanhan, Weiwei, come on, the food is getting cold, let’s start eating..."

"Wow, so much delicious food, you’re amazing, godfather! You’re really awesome!"

Liu Ruihan excitedly gathered over, staring at the mouth-watering dishes on the table. Her words were unfinished while her mouth unconsciously twinkled with a glossy drool, her eyes shining with endless longing for the feast.

Liu Shiwei, watching his daughter’s adorable, greedy look, laughed as he picked her up, placed her on a chair, and chimed in, "Yes, your godfather’s culinary skills are extraordinary. With this spread, I don’t even know where to start."

At this moment, Qingqing and Weiwei also climbed up by the table, listening to Liu Shiwei and his daughter, their faces beaming with pride and joy.

Even though they weren’t the ones being praised, they felt immensely proud to have such an outstanding father.

In their young hearts, daddy was always the best!

Huang Jun felt a bit bashful from their compliments, smiled sheepishly, then picked up a bowl and spoon, serving a small bowl of steaming sour soup dumplings to Liu Shiwei and his family of three: "Come on, Brother Liu, Sister-in-law, Hanhan, try these sour soup dumplings and see how they taste."

Of course.

The little darlings, Qingqing and Weiwei, weren’t forgotten either, each receiving a small bowl of aromatic sour soup dumplings.

"Brother Huang, anything you make is naturally top-notch!"

Liu Shiwei took the bowl, responded with a grin, then added a few drops of fresh red chili oil to the sour soup dumplings, gently stirred it in, and despite the heat, eagerly lifted the small bowl and took a delighted sip.

"Oh, the taste is amazing!"

As he ate, he praised, "Sour and spicy, with thin-skinned dumplings and plenty of filling. With each bite, it’s full of flavor, absolutely delicious!"

Having said that, he buried his head for another round of hearty eating, seemingly unable to stop.

Qingqing and Weiwei were also eating with blissful expressions, their little spoons serving as happy messengers, darting between bowl and mouth with satisfying "ah-ooh, ah-ooh" sounds, the deliciousness of the sour soup dumplings was beyond doubt.

Liu Ruihan held her bowl and began sipping directly, swaying her little head after a couple of sips to praise, "So good, tangy and flavorful~"

"Hanhan, come, try some garlic butter lobster, your godfather’s garlic butter lobster is both fresh and tender and full of flavor."

Wen Xueqian noticed the little one was fixated on the sour soup dumplings and used the serving chopsticks to dish out some aromatic lobster meat for her, not forgetting to add a portion for Qingqing and Weiwei too.

Huang Jun also warmly encouraged everyone, "Tonight, don’t hold back, eat to your heart’s content, and let’s try our best to have no leftovers, supporting the clean plate campaign. Brother Liu, Hanhan, Qingqing, Weiwei, make sure you don’t focus only on the sour soup dumplings, or the other dishes will feel neglected..."

Liu Shiwei cheerfully responded, "Don’t worry, Brother Huang. I’m planning to feast tonight and won’t miss out on any tasty dish."
