Chapter 225

Everyone couldn't stop thinking about the delicious pork they had eaten.

Liu Chef was puzzled that the pork he bought from the market just wasn't as tasty as the one they had that day.

Fortunately, they still had some ribs, pork knuckles, and trotters left. Next time, he'd have to prepare them carefully.

Liu Chef said to Shen Wei, "Can you take me to see the pig farm?" Chef Chen happened to overhear this.

Chef Chen said, "Let's go together," with a hint of caution.

After all, there was the precedent of the vegetable garden.

Liu Chef really liked to show off his things.

The vegetables were one thing; they'd grow back after being picked, and they had more than they could eat. They could give the excess to fans or students' parents.

Liu Chef meant well, but who knew this would unleash such trouble.

Ever since people had tasted their vegetables, they became fixated, constantly wanting to buy them.

The more they couldn't buy them, the more people wanted them.

Over time, it became like a luxury item.

Colleagues in the culinary world had heard about it and jokingly asked if they could send them some.

The vegetables weren't that precious.

They could be sent.

But the quality of their vegetables was undeniable.

They were afraid people would get addicted and want more.

What started as a kind gesture had created countless troubles.

Liu Chef and Shen Wei left when it was only 8 o'clock.

Jiang Xun was keeping an eye on things in the kitchen. His cooking was also delicious, so Liu Chef felt at ease leaving him in charge.

Liu Chef was now preoccupied with the pig farm.

After eating the pork, he increasingly felt that Shen Wei was really onto something.

Previously, a single vegetable garden had already won over so many people.

Now there was a pig farm too.

Liu Chef couldn't keep the corners of his mouth from turning up.

Shen Wei took Liu Chef and Chef Chen to see the farm together.

These two were the people most interested in the pig farm.

Previously, when Shen Wei wanted to set up a pig farm, it was Chef Chen who had made connections, finding his own relatives to help out.

Now the pigs were being raised in excellent condition.

Just by looking at how fat the pigs were, you could tell they had found the right people for the job.

This also put Shen Wei's mind at ease.

On the way, Shen Wei had already told them that the pig farm was quite substantial, with 202 pigs.

These pigs could mate and produce even more piglets.

Liu Chef's heart was burning with excitement, wishing he could teleport to the pig farm instantly.

The farm was located in the suburbs, about an hour's drive away.

When they arrived, they headed straight for their destination.

The two chefs found that the place was built very nicely and was quite large.

It was also very clean, so while there was some smell, it was tolerable.

Not at all the overpowering stench they had imagined.

Calculating the days, those two big pigs would need another half year before they could be slaughtered.

Liu Chef repeatedly reminded Chef Chen's relatives to call him when it was time to slaughter the pigs.

This time, he said, they must pay the butcher.

They couldn't let him take away the offal.

With pigs this delicious, the offal would be top-notch too.

Moreover, the pig's blood could be used in cooking.

There were many ways to prepare it, making it neither fishy nor greasy.

The dishes made from freshly slaughtered pigs were truly priceless.

Just seeing the pigs, he had already thought of countless ways to cook them.

He was still excited on the way back.

Even Chef Chen couldn't help but smile.

This showed how well Shen Wei could manage her subordinates.

A vegetable garden and a pig farm were enough to captivate two master chefs.

After all, cooking was easy, but finding suitable ingredients was difficult.

At Starry Sky Kindergarten, they could freely exercise their culinary skills and be praised by everyone.

Chefs who came to Starry Sky Kindergarten easily became immersed in their work.

They wouldn't want to leave even if offered higher salaries elsewhere.

Here, chefs were given the utmost freedom.

As long as they cooked well, everything else was taken care of.

When Liu Chef returned, he washed his hands and went back to the kitchen to help. To his surprise, Jiang Xun had already taken care of everything.

Liu Chef took a look and frowned, "Red-braised pork again!"

They usually varied their menu every day.

Now they had made red-braised pork for two consecutive days.

Yesterday was unavoidable.

Everyone had been clamoring for red-braised pork, so they made an exception.

Even the most delicious dish would become tiresome if eaten for three days straight.

The reason the pop-up restaurant didn't change its menu was that it had different customers every day.

Few people would buy tickets for two consecutive events.

So they could get away with it there.

But at Starry Sky Kindergarten, there was no way to slack off.

Jiang Xun said everyone wanted to eat red-braised pork.

Liu Chef tasted what he had made.

It was fatty but not greasy, neither dry nor tough, very delicious.

But he repeatedly instructed the kitchen staff that no matter what anyone said, they couldn't make this dish again tomorrow.

Among the staff at Starry Sky Kindergarten, some were outgoing and spoke their minds about what they wanted to eat.

Others were introverted but had their own preferences.

They couldn't just cater to the outspoken ones.

And ignore the silent majority.

This was Liu Chef thinking of everyone's interests.
