Chapter 96
Old Master Jiang was a bit interested.
His granddaughter continued to persuade Grandpa beside him: "This is a pop-up store, not a kindergarten, but it's in the form of a kindergarten, with classes and everything!"
Old Master Jiang said, "Enough, I'm too old for that. I'll just go to the buffet."
"Okay, I've grabbed a spot for tomorrow!"
Old Master Jiang said he was reluctant, but behind his back, he boasted to his friend: "Hey, the kids are filial, they grabbed a spot for me to eat at the kindergarten!"
The old friend mocked him as if it were something: "Hey, you're going to eat at a kindergarten, you're really funny."
Old Master Jiang knew he would say that: "Are you going or not? If you want to go, we can go together, but you'll need to get a ticket, this one is from my granddaughter!"
The friend wasn't a picky person either, said okay, then hung up and asked someone to get a ticket.
Twenty minutes later, when he called Old Master Jiang back, he was completely stunned.
The 400 yuan ticket had been scalped to 4,000 yuan.
Crucially, they were still unavailable.
Old Master Jiang was surprised after hearing this: "The spots are that valuable?"
Afterward, the old master laughed: "Then you can just watch me eat."
The friend angrily retorted: "Where can I watch you!"
Old Master Jiang said, "There will be a live stream, you'll be able to see me on it. This is youngsters' stuff. You're OUT."
"Who cares about watching you, I'm hanging up, just hearing your voice is annoying!" the friend said.
The next day, the Jiang family all sat in front of the TV waiting to cast the screen.
They mainly wanted to see the buffet restaurant event.
Old Master Jiang's friend said he wouldn't watch, but he also had someone turn on his phone early.
Sure enough, as soon as it opened, they saw Old Master Jiang.
He was the oldest one at the pop-up store, very conspicuous.
Even those streaming in the live chat room didn't expect there to be elderly fans, calling him grandpa one after another in the comments.
The older son of the Jiang family shared the live stream link with his sister who was returning to the country.
According to the time, she should be in the air now.
She was on a flight with internet access in first class.
The younger sister also opened the link.
While everyone else was engaged in group activities, only the old master had found the buffet restaurant and was happily feasting in front of the camera.
He first got two large braised pork ribs.
Then he rolled himself a small roasted duck bun.
He also stewed beef brisket with tomatoes and had a large bowl of rice.
After finishing, he started taking a little bit from each dish and stacking them into a small mountain.
He hadn't had an appetite recently, but here it was like his taste buds had opened up, and he was simply eating with glee.
Old Master Jiang's friend, seeing him eat like this, kept swallowing his saliva, thinking what was this old man eating that smelled so good?
He only regretted the phone couldn't transmit the aroma.
He knew better than anyone how picky Old Master Jiang was about food.
Why was he eating so deliciously?
At the Jiang family home, everyone was stunned.
Was this really their Old Master Jiang who would stop after taking two bites, having to force himself to take two more bites for the sake of the children?
His current appetite was almost comparable to a young man's.
Everyone looked at the elder son Jiang together: "Dad really doesn't have any illness, he's just picky about food."
At this moment, the younger sister was frantically attacking her elder brother: "This is what you called Dad not being able to eat for days and nights."
She rushed back in a hurry, and after getting on the plane, her eyes were swollen from crying.
Seeing the link her brother sent, she opened it and saw her dad.
He didn't even have table manners anymore, shamelessly showing off. It made her look like an old gossip.
The elder son of the Jiang family laughed awkwardly and said, "No matter what, it's good that Dad can eat." There was some embarrassment, as this food therapy was too effective.
After the old master had eaten his fill, Chef Liu couldn't help but come over and advise that a person of his age can't eat too much!
It was only then that the old master reluctantly finished what was on his plate. But he still stayed and walked around a bit.
Seeing that the kindergarten also had a small vegetable garden, he curiously gazed at it for a while. He secretly resolved to remove all the flowers and plants from the villa and plant vegetables instead.
The blue sky and green fields were truly relaxing.
Although he hadn't been here long, he felt a sense of comfort and decompression.
The kindergarten's landscaping was excellent, and he couldn't get enough of strolling through it.
When he came out, the Jiang family had all come to pick him up.
His son and daughter-in-law looked at him with remorseful expressions.
The old master felt an unusual sense of embarrassment.
"Dad, was it really that delicious?"
Old Master Jiang's eyes lit up, and if asked about this, he wouldn't be tired at all.
Not only were there masters like Chef Chen and Chef Liu.
Even the dry-fried cauliflower was crisper, fresher, and sweeter than he had ever tasted.
The braised pork ribs, he could tell with one bite, were made by Zhou Shanhe, the President of the Culinary Association.
There were several other people, mentioning them would shock even the local foodies.
These culinary masters had gathered at the kindergarten for a team building event.
He was fortunate to have experienced it.
At this moment, he also became interested in this kindergarten he had never understood before, and opened up to see other programs.
Especially at lunchtime.
Everyone ate even more extravagantly than he did.
He smiled, having already tasted such delicacies.
But for those in the comments who hadn't, they were starving: "Please, please open a restaurant, this kindergarten tantalizes me eight hundred times a day."
"A 300-month-old baby also wants to go eat."
300 months, Old Master Jiang counted on his fingers, and finally said, "A 600-month-old baby also wants to go eat."
He posted a comment, then happily shared his experiences with his friend.
The Starry Sky Kindergarten lived up to its reputation, with true masters indeed.
"You really ate Chef Chen's cooking?"
"I did, his skills haven't diminished over the years."
His friend was drooling: "Can our friendship of fifty or sixty years help me get a ticket?"
Old Master Jiang said, "It's not that I won't give you a ticket, it's that I can't get one either. Why don't you go comment in the chat as a 600-month-old baby wanting to eat too."
"Oh, what are you saying, so embarrassing. Do I have to be shameless for food?"
"That's called the will of the people can't be defied. Previously, this Starry Sky Kindergarten only opened as a pop-up store for one day before it was going to shut down, but it was only because of the strong opposition from everyone that it was stopped," Old Master Jiang said, having been aggressively reading up on the kindergarten's news since leaving the store.
His friend was half-believing, half-doubting: "Really?"
But he still didn't feel comfortable doing it himself, so in the end, he hired 10 college students to frantically comment as 600-month-old babies also wanting to go eat.
Not only did it not attract official attention, but they were also mocked for playing with the meme.
Old Master Jiang was overjoyed. When he returned home, he saw his granddaughter who was abroad had red eyes from crying, and she looked at him resentfully, "Dad, you have a good appetite, why did you scare us like that?"
Old Master Jiang's face immediately turned embarrassed: "Heh heh. It's all because of your elder brother, he spread rumors for no reason!"
The older son of the Jiang family felt awkward.
However, the old master was also delighted to see his daughter: "Stay here for a few more days this time."
Then he told his children: "Help me keep a close eye on the tickets for the Starry Sky Kindergarten buffet, they are being snatched up fast."
"Is it really that delicious?" It could make someone who hasn't eaten well for over a month eat heartily.
And it's a buffet, too. No high-tech involved.
The old master immediately said, "This could be the biggest team-building event in the culinary world."
Everyone was surprised.
Those highly respected elders in the culinary world are now all focused on training their disciples at home.
They can gain both fame and fortune, so who would still open a restaurant? They've already become ancestor masters.
To be able to eat their food again is truly exciting.
But the 15 pop-up event tickets have already sold out.
Now the only way is to buy them from others at a high price.
If you miss this event, who knows when the next one will be.
Many people who got tickets are willing to take time off just to attend.
They are not willing to give up such a good ticket.
No amount of money can buy it.
So under the Jiang family's aggressive efforts to acquire tickets, the price was driven up to 10,000 yuan per ticket.
Unfortunately, there were no takers, despite the high price.
