Gourmet Kindergarten

"It's so spicy! It's absolutely insane!"

"This wave of losses has left us with nothing but our underwear!"

Golden Sun Kindergarten, kitchen.

As soon as Pei Qian regained consciousness, before he even opened his eyes, the grief and indignation from the depths of his soul made him let out a wail.

But the next second…

When he opened his eyes, he was completely bewildered by the familiar yet strange environment before him.

"what?"

"Why does this kitchen look so different?"

"Holy crap!"

"Could I have transmigrated like the protagonist in some online novel?"

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp pain shot through the depths of his mind, and a memory that did not belong to him suddenly flooded in.

Good heavens, he was right!

He traveled from the 21st century to a parallel world and became Pei Qian, who shared the same name.

The original owner is 23 years old this year. She studied early childhood education in junior college. After graduation, she did not go out to make her way in the world, but went straight back to her hometown to take over her family's "Golden Sun Kindergarten".

It sounds like "inheriting the family business," but in reality, he's taken on a "hot potato."

These days, with the economic downturn, the birth rate is plummeting, and the profits of Jintaiyang Kindergarten have been declining year after year.

We were barely able to put together a class before, but this semester has been a series of misfortunes.

The kindergarteners graduated and left. The children who were supposed to go from primary to middle school all transferred schools; most of the children who were supposed to go from middle to university also transferred schools, leaving only 6 children!

As for recruiting new students?

The little boy didn't get a single answer and got a zero!

The reason, once you find out, is heartbreaking.

A new "Hanlin Bilingual Kindergarten" has opened nearby.

They were so high-end and sophisticated that they managed to snatch up all the students.

This isn't running a kindergarten, it's practically an "orphanage"!

Golden Sun is not only not making money, but it's also losing money and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Many teachers, accountants, nurses, and even the head chef in the park saw the situation and resigned one after another.

It is said that he had just resigned from Jin Taiyang and then went to work at Hanlin Bilingual School next door.

It's truly a "shrimp and pork heart" dish!

Faced with this mess, the parents had long given up hope and were single-mindedly focused on closing down and transferring the kindergarten.

But this guy is stubborn and absolutely refused to agree. He insisted on continuing to operate the business and even boasted that he could definitely turn it around in three months.

My dad was so angry he declared, "If you can do that, I'll call you Dad!"

Ultimately, unable to resist his wishes, his parents had no choice but to let him do as he pleased. The couple went to work for a friend, raising pigs to earn money and fill the bottomless pit in their home.

With family members gone, employees gone, and no new recruits to be found, the original owner was under immense psychological pressure. To save money, she took on multiple jobs and reluctantly took on the position of head chef.

result.

The physical and mental exhaustion of the past few days caused the original owner to faint just now, which gave him the opportunity to "usurp the nest".

"Ugh... One second I was worried about the impact of the 'oil war' on the stock market, and the next second I've been transported to a parallel universe! This is fucking absurd, utterly absurd!"

"Sigh... I never expected the owner of this body to also be named 'Pei Qian.' Just based on that name, it's no wonder he's ruined the kindergarten!"

"Sigh... I suffered because of this name! That's why I lost money!"

After fully processing his memories and confirming that he had indeed transmigrated, Pei Qian sighed repeatedly and reluctantly got up.

In my previous life, I was an orphan, but fortunately, I was nurtured by my mentor.

With just a wok, he mastered the eight major cuisines, becoming a global culinary master at a young age and a pillar of strength at state banquets.

Not only is he successful in his career, but he also has a girlfriend, and they're at the point of discussing marriage.

In a moment of impulsiveness, he invested all his savings in the stock market in hopes of turning his life around.

But who knew that "once you enter the stock market, it's like falling into a deep sea; from then on, you become a leek, harvested one crop after another, endlessly and tirelessly making money"...

We've lost so much money we're practically worthless!

Seeing the dismal green limit down in his account, he was so anxious that his vision went black, and when he woke up, he was here.

Is this a happy event or a sad one?

To be honest,

He longed to return to the days of "wife, children, and a warm bed," but as a seasoned bookworm, he knew perfectly well that most time travel was a one-way trip, unless it was the rare "travel between two worlds," which was clearly impossible at the moment!

and so…

Since we're already here...

Well then—since we're here, let's make the best of it!

But the problem is...

He's just a cook, how could he possibly know anything about teaching and educating people?

Letting him manage a kindergarten is just misleading the children.

It's better to close down as soon as possible and cut your losses!

But as soon as this thought popped into his head, the obsession belonging to the original owner deep in his mind surged up suddenly.

Pei Qian: ┗( T﹏T )┛

"Don't worry, I'll do my best to run it well!"

But how exactly should it be managed to revive this half-dead kindergarten?

These days, even the best wine needs to be advertised; if you want to break out of your niche, you definitely need some special skills!

"Aha, I've got it!"

A sudden thought flashed through his mind, recalling a viral video he had seen while scrolling through short videos in his past life.

It was a kindergarten that focused on "life skills" classes, and its style was quite unique.

While children in other kindergartens are still reciting "The bright moonlight before my bed" with swaying heads, the children in this kindergarten are already rolling up their sleeves to cook.

In the video, a group of little kids, barely taller than the stove, wearing specially made aprons, skillfully kill fish, chop vegetables, and make pancakes. As the spatula flies across the screen, the down-to-earth, everyday atmosphere bursts through the screen.

Netizens jokingly called it "Shinjaku Kindergarten" while giving it a huge thumbs up, and many parents even said they wanted to send their children there to "suffer," making it incredibly popular!

"Could I perhaps follow suit?"

Pei Qian thought about it more and more and it seemed more and more reliable, and the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter:

"After all, I'm a chef trained for state banquets. While I might not be able to teach kids classical Chinese, teaching them to cook... that's a piece of cake! Isn't this a perfect match for my expertise? Most importantly, there isn't a kindergarten like this in the world yet; it's a completely untapped market!"

"Yes! Let's open a life skills class and teach the kids how to cook! Let's turn the kindergarten into..."

Before he could finish speaking, a crisp electronic notification sound suddenly rang in his mind, interrupting his thoughts.
