"Brother Yuanzi, I'm done guessing, it's Yunpian Cake, you didn't answer!" Xiao Wu stepped forward to pick up the dejected Yuanzi.
"What? Yunpian Cake? It's really a dessert!" Yuanzi's round eyes stared, "But that thing doesn't smell at all!"
"Brother Xiao Wu, try it, maybe it's all dim sum, hasn't Chef Zhang been teaching you how to make dim sum?" Gentlely pushed Xiao Wu.
"Come on, it's just my nose! Master usually calls me worse than a dog! I don't want to embarrass myself. Besides, can it really be dim sum?" Xiao Wu flinched.
"Which one else?" The official was lobbying again!
There are several in a row, there are vulgar men, exquisite daughters-in-law, and aunts who have cooked meals all their lives, and of course there are scholars who join in the fun. There are cold tofu, eight-treasure porridge, fried rice cakes in the tureen...all tasteless and bland delicious snack.
People who guess are anxious, and people are greedy!
"I thought it was a free tasting, but I didn't expect to pay for it!" Mr. Songtao shook his head regretfully.
If it's about tasting food, Mr. Songtao is naturally qualified; but guessing things from a distance? Mr. Songtao swallowed involuntarily.
After a few rounds, the official became even more proud of himself, "Who wants to try?"
"I'm coming!" A crisp and beautiful female voice.
"Sister Rou'er, don't mess around!" Yuanzi was about to pull it, but he rushed to nothing, and the gentleness of the old cotton padded clothes in green cloth was already standing in front of everyone.
Ren Yue narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Little girl, are you also here to challenge?" the official asked with a smile.
The little girl in front of her, although she was dressed plainly and almost shivered, she had an extraordinary bearing in her bones, and if she looked closely, her eyebrows, her body shape, it seemed that she had changed her appearance. The beauties in the palace must be jealous too!
"The official is polite, and the little girl is here to join in the fun!" After Rou Rou finished speaking, she casually pointed to a tureen. Immediately close your eyes gently.
After several rounds, the official saw that no one could guess correctly. Simply the later ones will avoid asking the origin.
The official maid was blindfolded, serving the food, just opened a small crack slightly, and the cover bowl has not been fully opened.
"Spring rolls, stuffed with red bean paste!" Gentle and clear voice replied.
"Little girl, don't lie, you can't be fooled. You should smell it carefully." Just after the official finished speaking, he turned around and almost bumped into the official servant serving the food.
"Be careful! If you break one! Only you look good!" The official reprimanded.
The servant girl nodded tremblingly, and opened the gaiwan tremblingly.
"Hiss—" Everyone present gasped in unison.
On the white porcelain plate, there were several spring rolls lying delicately. It turned out to be spring rolls!
"This..." The official was at a loss for words for a moment, could it be that he was really delusional!
"Officer, did I guess right?" At this moment, Wen Rou was still blindfolded, hearing the movement of everyone. asked cheerfully.
"See if it's stuffed with red bean paste!" Someone in the crowd booed.
"Officer, let me taste it!" Rourou tore off the blindfold, walked over, opened a crispy spring roll with her hand, and stuffed a piece into her mouth. One section is placed on a plate.
Among the two broken spring rolls, there is a touch of delicate red bean paste!
"Delicious! This is Nan Kee's deep-fried spring rolls! It's crispy in the mouth, and the filling is sweet and soft..." Wen Rou tasted the delicacy he guessed, "Hurry up, it won't taste good when it's cold!" Wen Rou said, holding it The remaining plate of spring rolls ran down the stage and quickly stuffed it into Mr. Song Tao's hands.
Respect teachers, let alone this teacher is a great Confucian, let alone this great Confucian is my brother's teacher! You have to be filial to me!
Mr. Songtao nodded again and again, with a very satisfied face, he tasted one and passed it to his side, and Shui Mo, Wen Ting and others were also very satisfied.
"Is it a trick? Guess one more!" Someone in the crowd booed.
"Little girl, do you want to try again?" The official probably felt that he was guessed so easily for the first time, and the official's face could not be held back. Well, it must be a hoodwink, and the luck will not be so good next time. up!
"Okay! Guess one more!" Gentle and straightforward, he pointed again and closed his eyes again.
Still blindfolded, the servant served the food, opened a small gap again, and still did not fully open the bowl.
"Sugar lotus seeds!" said softly and cheerfully, pulled off the blindfold, and before the servants opened the bowl, he couldn't wait to open the lid to get food.
The white gaiwan was uncovered again, and a bowl full of fried lotus seeds wrapped in flour, starch and sugar appeared in front of everyone!
"Hey! It's a ghost!" There was a commotion in the crowd.
"Is this a trick again?" The official rubbed his eyes.
Gentle pinched a candied lotus seed, threw it into her mouth, and chewed it a few times, "Well, the core has been removed, it's not bitter, and the heat is just right! Try it! The fruit of Xiangfuji is really not covered!"
After finishing speaking, he took the guessed snack and came to Mr. Songtao.
"I can actually guess which dim sum it is from!"
"I said, this candied lotus seed smells bad, right? How did Xiao Nizi guess?"
"Whose girl is this? That's amazing!"
There was a commotion in the crowd.
"Come again, come again! It's fun and delicious!" Rourou ran back with a grin.
"Sister Rou'er, guess that!" Yuanzi had forgotten his embarrassment just now, and pointed to a big bowl, very excited.
"Sister, guess that!" Wen Ting seemed to be more energetic, and he had more face just now, and now seeing his sister showing off her unique skill of housekeeping, she felt that her whole body was shining brightly.
"Sister Rou'er, that one!" Xiao Wu and Er Gou also joined in the fun, and even Hong Xiu became generous and yelled.
Ren Yue shook his head with a smile, and said to himself: "I can't tell, this girl's nose is really good."
"Ren Yue, why don't you try candied lotus seeds? It can clear away heat and fire, improve eyesight and invigorate the spleen." Just as Ren Yue was talking to himself, Mr. Song Tao handed over a bowl of candied lotus seeds. After the chef tried wire drawing, he actually began to accept it. He took one and put it in his mouth, chewing it lightly.
At the first bite, the sweetness of the icing sugar envelops the tip of the tongue, and when you chew again, the bitterness of the lotus seeds overflows slightly. It is neutralized with the sweetness, and finally it is just the right sweetness, not greasy. There is a fragrance in the mouth aftertaste.
"It's quite delicious!" Ren Yue squeezed another one and put it in his mouth. The narrow and long pupils inadvertently passed the tenderness on the stage again.
"Come again, come again!" At this moment, the shout was no longer a gentle soliloquy, but the boiling of the crowd.
The official opened his hands, signaling for everyone to be quiet, then turned around and said to Rourou: "Little girl, you got it right twice, do you want to accept it as soon as you see it? One person is not so lucky all the time!"
"What the official said is true. That's why we have to take advantage of the victory to pursue it!" With a gentle smile, he pointed at the largest basin that Yuanzi ordered just now, and closed his eyes again.
"Hey, I don't believe in this evil yet!" The official lord pushed away the blindfolded servant girl. I personally put the black cloth tightly on the tender eyes, stretched out my hand and shook it in front of me to make sure that there was no difference, then I walked to the table and pushed away the servant girl who was serving the food. I first opened a small slit, looked at it, and closed it again, I couldn't help laughing.
"You won't be able to guess this time!" Before the official could finish his words, Rourou had already spoken.
"Officer, the dishes are cold, and you don't ask someone to warm them up. This cold rock sugar elbow is not delicious!"
"Wh... what... what!" The official stuttered when he heard the words, he only opened a small gap just now! There are indeed rock sugar elbows in it! The reason why I laughed was because the dishes were completely cold and had no fragrance at all, and even the soup had congealed because of the cold weather. Even if you put this kind of dish under your nose and smell it vigorously, you can't guess it!
"Officer, uncover it and have a look!" Everyone was curious, if they guessed it right three times, this girl's nose would be amazing!
"Uncover! Uncover!" There was a lot of voices.
"This... this..." The official opened the lid, and the oily icing was covered on the tempting elbow, perhaps because of the coldness, the meat was there, not like eating, but more like a delicate agate carved.
"Master, did I guess right?" Rourou asked confidently, still blindfolded.
"That's right again!" the official praised.
"My lord, please ask someone to warm it up! I'm old and can't eat cold." Mr. Song Tao laughed.
At present, there are officials and servants carrying away the heat.
"Then keep guessing! It's troublesome to be blinded, but the official did it himself, it's really strong!" Gentle smile.
The servant girl turned around and walked towards the tureen that Wen Ting pointed out just now.
Swish off the gaiwan!
It's really troublesome to look at the small slits a few times. Since this girl's nose is so amazing, there must be no need to waste it!
The servant girl thought to herself, she has become an upright gentleman.
Everyone's eyes lit up again!
aspic!
The square pieces looked like crystals. Although they didn't smell anything, everyone was already drooling.
This kind of meat jelly is definitely a fine product boiled from the best meat skin, which is completely different from ordinary people's cooking!
Presumably, after eating this bite, it must be full of fragrance.
The crowd, who were still noisy just now, suddenly became quiet at this moment, so quiet that the official heard the sound of swallowing saliva in unison, "Gulu".
"Meat jelly! Although this thing is made of meat skin, it doesn't feel greasy in your mouth. You can try it!" Wen Rou covered her eyes, and even though the words were pointless, Mr. Songtao and Shui Mo still kept their gazes together. Turned to Ren Yue.
"Taste it, it's very delicious!" Mr. Songtao took a piece first, put it in his mouth and chewed it, the ink was also stained, and after eating a piece, his eyes lit up.
Ren Yue looked at the jelly that was being delivered in front of him, and was about to wave his hand to reject it, when the people behind him began to complain, "There is no reason not to eat delicious food! We really want to eat it, but unfortunately we can't!"
"Master Ren, this is crystal jelly. My father brought some back from the capital during Chinese New Year last year. I ate it. It's really good!" Qiao Zizhang walked over and tried to persuade him.
"Hongxiu, try it too, this meat jelly is very good for the skin! I heard that the empresses in the palace use it to maintain food and tonic!" Qiao Zizhang saw that Ren Yue was still not moving, and turned to persuade Hongxiu.
"Really?" Hong Xiu was dubious, reached out to take a piece of delicate jelly, and tasted it with small mouthfuls.
"It's really delicious! It doesn't smell like meat at all! It's so smooth!" Hongxiu ate happily, and her complexion became more beautiful.
"Really? I know it's delicious!" At this moment, Ruan Rou didn't care to continue guessing. She took off the blindfold again, ran to the audience, pinched a piece of jelly, stuffed it into her mouth, and puffed up her cheeks to chew. with.
"Hmm, um!" Gentle exclaimed.
"This crazy girl! She doesn't even look like she's eating! She actually did it directly!" Ren Yue secretly laughed in his heart.
"Try it!" Rourou stretched out her hand, handed over a pair of chopsticks, and looked at Ren Yue sincerely again.
This look, like the stars in the sky, is clear and bright, without any deception or filth.
Ren Yue couldn't refuse, raised his hand slightly, and took the chopsticks.
The wide sleeves covered his mouth, and there was a slight chewing sound.
"Is it delicious?" she asked gently and expectantly.
"Well, it's okay!" Ren Yue said lightly.
"This is Shang Ke! What do you eat every day!" Rourou snorted.
