Chapter 885: Chapter 609: With This Dessert, Mom Won’t Worry About My Period Anymore! (Part 2)

Today, Chu Qiweng was quite leisurely as she wandered over to the kitchen to see if there were any new variations in breakfast today, hoping to sneak a taste of the morning dishes prepared by Huang Jun.

Despite the menu being posted at the school gate for a week, she hadn’t paid attention, so she naturally had no idea about today’s breakfast lineup.

Curiously, she craned her neck to watch Huang Jun leisurely stirring with a spoon in the pot.

The stirring was to ensure that the milk in the pot was heated evenly, avoiding any issues caused by localized overheating, as milk doesn’t conduct heat as quickly as water.

"Oh, so you’re making ginger milk pudding..."

Huang Jun replied softly without looking up, busy with his task.

"Ginger milk pudding? Wonderful! It tastes so good—sweet with a slight spicy kick, combined with the unique creamy texture of milk, it’s simply irresistible." Chu Qiweng’s face immediately lit up with anticipation upon hearing it.

Huang Jun merely smiled slightly, saying no more, continuing to focus on his ginger milk pudding.

Then, he turned to instruct Meng Hongze, "Assistant Chef Meng, please bring some bowls specifically for desserts and pour the freshly squeezed ginger juice into each, just enough to cover the bottom."

"Got it, right away!"

Meng Hongze responded swiftly, bringing a neatly stacked set of dessert bowls and placing them one by one on the worktable.

Yu Daqing and the others noticed and also stepped forward to help, setting the bowls in a neat and orderly fashion.

Then, each holding a spoon in one hand and a container of ginger juice in the other, they distributed the ginger juice evenly into each dessert bowl.

Meanwhile, the milk on Huang Jun’s side was perfectly simmered, its aroma wafting in the air.

He lifted the pot off the stove and moved it to the side of the work table, taking a long-handled ladle, and gently poured a ladle of warm milk into each prepared bowl.

For aesthetics, he made sure to fill each bowl only up to eight-tenths full.

After all the milk was poured, it was time to wait for the milk to naturally coagulate.

Of course.

If one wanted to try different textures, this dessert could be placed in the fridge to chill, turning it into a refreshing treat, offering a pleasurable taste experience as well.

However, considering the cold weather, Huang Jun decided to let everyone enjoy the warm ginger milk pudding, allowing them to savor its unique flavor while helping to sweat out the cold.

Soon enough.

The milk in the bowls had completely set, presenting an enticing milky white color.

Huang Jun grabbed some prepared sweet red beans and spooned a few onto the set milk, making the entire dessert look more appealing and tempting.

"Wow, this looks really good! Chef Huang, do teach me when you have the time. This dessert is perfect for us girls during that time of the month. You absolutely have to teach me!" Chu Qiweng said excitedly.

"Yes, with this dessert, my mom won’t have to worry about my period anymore!"

Jiang Shuihan nodded in agreement.

In fact, she had witnessed the entire process of Huang Jun making it and felt that the steps didn’t seem complicated, sparking a desire to learn.

But upon thinking of how she always ended up in the awkward situation of "the brain understands, the eyes get it, but the hands don’t," she felt a bit discouraged and ultimately didn’t ask for a lesson.

Perhaps it’s better to enjoy the finished product...

Huang Jun smiled as he replied, "Today’s making process has been completed; in the afternoon, the video will be posted on the school website. You can follow along step by step. If you encounter any confusion, feel free to reach out to me anytime, I’m always available."

"Chef Huang, you are the best!"

Chu Qiweng’s eyes sparkled with gratitude, her hands slightly clasped together as she expressed her heartfelt thanks.

Then, once again deeply attracted by the enticing aroma, she leaned down, her eyes fervently fixed on the ginger milk pudding before her, asking with a hint of anticipation, "Can I have a taste now..."

Actually, this is the real reason for your visit this time, isn’t it...

Huang Jun understood silently but did not reveal it, only nodding with a smile, "Of course, feel free to taste it."

"Then I won’t hold back..."

Chu Qiweng said as she gracefully picked up a bowl of ginger milk pudding.

Frankly speaking, although ginger milk pudding is quite common in daily life, achieving Huang Jun’s level of skill is a rarity.

Not only did he manage to coagulate the milk perfectly, but the sweetness was also expertly balanced, and even the amount of ginger juice was precisely measured.

The smooth, fragrant milk and the spiciness of the old ginger melded perfectly, bringing an indescribable sensation of comfort.

After a light taste, Chu Qiweng’s delicate face immediately showed an expression of surprise.

She had known that this dessert tasted extraordinary, but she never expected it to be so astonishing.

The coagulated milk didn’t have the gelatinous bounce of jelly, but rather, a silky smooth texture akin to egg custard that melted in the mouth, leaving only the creamy aroma of the milk and the light spiciness of the old ginger lingering in her mouth.

It’s simply an exquisite flavor!

Chu Qiweng quickly finished the ginger milk pudding in her bowl and sincerely praised, "This ginger milk pudding is truly a rare delicacy! Chef Huang, your skills are amazing! Completely match my palate!"

"I’m glad you like it!"

Huang Jun responded with a smile, then turned to invite everyone else, who had been eagerly waiting, to give the ginger milk pudding a try: "You all should try it as well, see how the ginger milk pudding tastes."
