The Heartbeat at the Tip of the Tongue

Chapter 25: Lin Kesong's taste

Views:

But just as she stood on tiptoe, she subconsciously exhaled.

The tissues flew up.

Done!

Lin Kesong was so anxious that he was about to take a deep breath to suck the tissue back when something warm was pressed down.

When the skin touched, she could even feel the other side's slight sucking, with a faint nostalgia, Lin Kesong's lips had an illusion that the other side was taken away.

Her breath caught between the other's lips, her senses had never been so sharp, and even the soft lines on the other's lips seemed to be imprinted on hers.

She opened her eyes wide, and what she saw was Jiang Qianfan's drooping eyelashes, so close that they seemed to touch her eyeballs.

It was a brief moment, but Lin Kesong had the illusion that he was cherished by the other party.

He left her lips, stood up straight, and said in a cool but water-like voice as always, "Where's the tissue?"

The poor tissue had already fallen to the ground.

The people around laughed.

Lin Kesong only felt that the world was spinning, and she couldn't even tell who was who.

Until someone held her lower back with the palm of her hand.

Lin Ke Song turned around and saw Song Yiran's face.

There was a power in his eyes, as if he suddenly fell from a height of 10,000 meters, crushing her.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect the picture I wanted to see the most to finally appear!"

Montgomery was very happy.

Mrs. Bell looked at the phone and said, "Less than twenty seconds left!"

"Hurry up! Hurry up and pick it up!"

"There's still a chance! Hurry up!"

The shouts of the people around him came from Lin Kesong's ears.

Her free nerves returned, and she quickly picked up the tissue from the ground and put it on her face.

Embarrassing things have happened, even if you want to tangle, you have to wait for this game to end.

Lin Kesong grabbed Jiang Qianfan's tie and stood on tiptoe. Before the two could touch, he took a breath and put a tissue on Jiang Qianfan's face.

She let go of him and watched as he calmly passed the tissue to Mrs Smith, who was beside her.

There was no angry look on his face, not even a frown.

Lin Kesong's heart was like a spinning top, and like the wreckage of a rocket that fell back to the ground from a high altitude, everything lost her control.

The tissue was successfully passed to the last person, and Mrs. Bell read out the last time.

Everyone suddenly cheered!

Applause and laughter were heard.

Lin Kesong was still confused.

She kissed Jiang Qianfan...

wrong! Jiang Qianfan should have kissed her!

Why didn't he respond at all

Then Lin Ke Song realized another problem... This seems to be the first kiss in his life...

Although she has no first kiss complex, the problem is that this person is Jiang Qianfan!

She has to spend more than two months with him day and night!

Lin Kesong didn't even dare to look at Jiang Qianfan now. How embarrassing... If she was mistaken for blowing the napkin away on purpose, she wouldn't be able to wash it even if she jumped into the Atlantic Ocean!

Her eyes accidentally met Elise. Although Elise tried her best to hold back and chatted and laughed with the people around her, the disgust and ridicule towards Lin Kesong were very obvious in her eyes.

Lin Kesong took a breath.

"Kesong, Lin Kesong!"

Song Yiran's voice sounded, and Lin Kesong raised his head: "Ah? What's wrong?"

"Montgomery is proposing to Mrs Bell."

Lin Kesong raised his head, only to find that Montgomery had kneeled on one leg in front of Mrs. Bell.

"We're not young anymore, Monica. Maybe tomorrow, I'll lie in bed and stop opening my eyes. I don't have the ambition to pursue a career, and I don't want to miss those beautiful young girls... My children and grandchildren also I don't need my shelter anymore. There is nothing in this world that I need to work hard to manage or pursue. But only you... Monica... I want to spend the rest of my days with you... With my husband's Identity takes your hand, walking on the street, people look at us with envy. I will cook the best food in this world for you, so that you can look forward to every day... Let the rest of our time be tasty… "

The scene was quiet, and everyone was watching Monica.

Mrs Bell smiled. She certainly did not have the youthful beauty of a young woman, but she had a time-honed elegance. She knows what she needs, and she knows that there is nothing more worthy of her cherishing in this world besides fame and fortune.

"Dear Montgomery, I think I will live a long time, so I don't want to use my time to miss another person. If I want to agree to your marriage proposal, I have only one condition, that is, you must live longer than me ."

Everyone looked in the direction of Montgomery.

He took a deep breath and replied very solemnly: "Then from today, I will strictly control my diet, and keep exercising no matter the weather! The first step is to let everyone not see me at our wedding. Big belly! I will spend every day with you healthy!"

The mention of Montgomery's belly made everyone laugh.

"I do." Mrs. Bell also held back a smile and stretched out her hand to Montgomery.

They hugged tightly and applauded for a long time.

Lin Ke Song looked at them and suddenly became envious.

"Are you envious?" Song Yiran asked softly.

"Yeah. I wish to have one heart, and the white heads will not be separated." Lin Kesong exhaled.

"You will too."

Song Yiran's voice was drowned out by the cheers of the crowd. Lin Kesong only remembered the smile in his eyes, which was very deep and far away.

When everyone toasted Montgomery and Mrs Bell, Montgomery laughed badly.

"Just now, during the game, two people's tissues fell down..."

Everyone's eyes turned to Blue and Lin Kesong. They showed expressions of regret and sympathy, which made Lin Kesong inexplicably uneasy.

"So these two are going to have a good taste of my devil's drink!"

yes! What is the punishment to come! I was so involved in the game just now that Lin Kesong forgot about it!

"Wait, where did Blue go?" Mrs. Bell looked for among the guests, but she couldn't see Blue.

At this time, Song Yiran suddenly shouted: "He is about to sneak away! Right under the cake table!"

Everyone suddenly swarmed away and caught Bruce back.

"Song - we are friends! How can you betray your friends!" Blue's voice sounded very sad and pitiful.

"Because I can't bear to accept the punishment alone!" Song Yiran winked at the other party with her pocket in her pocket.

Lin Kesong looked at Song Yiran with disgust at the corner of his mouth: Obviously this guy just wants to see them both be punished! Otherwise, why not remind her to run away!

Montgomery happily brought out the two glasses of black with green in them, and deliberately said to Blue: "My dear grandson, you don't have to worry about what if you don't hold it firmly and knock it out, because I made a big bucket! "

Blue looked at the glass with a terrified expression.

"Crescent, come here too!" Montgomery beckoned to her, "Don't worry, this drink is actually nothing, and it's good for your health!"

Lin Kesong looked suspiciously at Bruce on the side, but Bruce kept nauseating as if he was about to vomit.

"Actually, it's easy to drink this devil's drink in one go."

Montgomery said so, but the expressions of the guests obviously disagreed with him. Even when he shook the glass, everyone took a small step back.

This made Lin Kesong alert. No matter how harmless what Montgomery said, she didn't stop at mentally building herself. The potency of this drink must be far greater than the strange red soup she made when she participated in the audition!

But Lin Kesong also firmly believes that no matter how unpleasant something is to drink, it is a matter of closing your eyes and breathing in a breath!

She also took the traditional Chinese medicine that was so unpleasant in the past. Can Montgomery's drink be more unpleasant than that? It must be because these foreigners have never drank traditional Chinese medicine, and their ability to suffer is low!

"So I decided to make it harder." Montgomery looked happy and didn't care that Blue was his grandson. "If the person receiving the punishment can taste the ingredients used in the drink, they don't need to drink that one. big cup!"

Which big cup is that big cup

Everyone followed the direction of Montgomery's fingers suspiciously, only to see Mrs. Bell walking out with a beer mug of at least one liter.

The pitch-black drink had an eerie feel in the sunlight.

Everyone gasped in unison, and even Lin Kesong felt terrified.

"Grandma Monica, you can't let my grandpa do this! It will cause people to die!" Bruce didn't give up his last struggle.

"Oh? Is it? I think it's very interesting! Blu, I'm sure you can taste all the flavors!"

They are really becoming more and more like husband and wife.

Blue and Lin Croissant took their drinks from Montgomery.

Lin Kesong's mood was also much heavier than before. After all, her previous idea was to drink it in one breath, no matter what it tasted like. And now, in order not to drink the big cup... she had to savor it.

No matter if she can't stand the taste of this drink, at least her belly can't hold the big cup!

"Trust me... this is definitely the worst food you've ever encountered in your life!" Blue lowered his voice and said to Lin Kesong.

Montgomery and Mrs. Belle seemed to be prepared, they took out two small blackboards, put them back to back, and said to Blue and Lin Kesong: "You should write the names of the ingredients in front of the two blackboards respectively. Bar!"

Lin Kesong took a deep breath... I hope she has seen all the ingredients in this devil's drink, and stop making jokes in the kitchen where she can't tell what salmon is.

She turned her head to look at Song Yiran, who winked at her with her pocket in her pocket.

This guy, he should be Amitabha if he doesn't fall into the trap, and he never expects him to help him.

She subconsciously looked at Jiang Qianfan again, as she expected, there was no emotion on his face.

Lin Kesong took a breath, and there was a sigh of sigh among the guests. It was Blue who had taken the first sip. Well, she's starting too!

Holding up the cup, the tip of her tongue only touched a little, and she asked about the strong and pungent taste.

It was sour, bitter and astringent, Lin Ke Song didn't even know how to swallow that bit! The taste buds were poisoned, especially the astringent taste made Lin Kesong's face flush, and even the muscles on his cheeks hurt like a cramp all the way to the brain. She exhausted her efforts and accumulated a lot of saliva before swallowing this first mouthful!

After swallowing, it is not the end of everything.

The bitter taste from the base of the tongue overflowed in her mouth, and she suddenly felt a sense of loss of taste.

It's so scary!

Her stomach turned upside down, she just ate so much food, she just wanted to spit it all out in one breath.

When she lowered her head, Montgomery's voice sounded: "You can't spit it out! It's a foul if you spit it out! You will be punished!"

What? Can't even vomit? What the hell kind of rule is this

Not to mention that one liter of devil drink, she couldn't even swallow the small cup in front of her!

"Dear Croissant, Bruce has written seven or eight kinds of materials, you have to do your best!" Mrs. Bell reminded kindly.

Everyone looked at Lin Kesong with sympathy, and she also clearly saw Elise's slightly mocking chuckle with her arms crossed.

She is waiting to see her good show.

In the hearts of everyone present, although Bruce is not a professional chef, under the influence of the master Montgomery since childhood, his sensitivity to ingredients is naturally much higher than that of Lin Kesong.

But some people are very curious, because Jiang Qianfan has the title of "absolute taste" in the food industry, even Montgomery is also amazed at this student's taste buds. Jiang Qianfan publicly admitted that Lin Kesong was his student. Is there something special about Lin Kesong

Lin Kesong turned around and looked in Jiang Qianfan's direction again.

He held his blind cane in one hand, with a calm and indifferent look on his face, as if Lin Kesong could tell whether these ingredients had nothing to do with him at all.

But she felt that he was focusing all the light and shadow in his dark eyes on her.

In her mind, she recalled carefully what Jiang Qianfan had taught her how to separate the taste of food into layers and lock the ingredients from these layers.

Well, regardless of whether you, Jiang Qianfan, care about her Lin Kesong's taste, she will never drink that big jar of mess!

Lin Kesong picked up the pen and wrote on the blackboard: mustard, grapefruit, lemon peel, kiwi, raspberry, bitter gourd...

These are the tastes that she can taste very intuitively. Montgomery is enough to mix together these fruits and vegetables that she doesn't really like!

What else? This fishy smell, like seafood...

She had to look again.

Lin Ke Song held her breath and took a sip. She couldn't swallow it immediately, but swayed between her lips. The feeling of self-abuse was too ecstasy.

Is it shrimp or some kind of sea fish

As of now, anything is possible. Lin Kesong would not foolishly think that Montgomery would only add fruits and vegetables to it.

Lin Kesong stripped away all the sourness and bitterness and focused on the fishy smell.

In the end she determined it was kelp. No wonder this drink is pitch black!

I just don't know if kelp counts as a vegetable in the sea

In addition to kelp, she also ate a very raw taste of plants. It is this smell combined with the fishy smell of kelp that makes people feel sick.

what vegetables are...

Lin Kesong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Montgomery. He was so talented, how could he have thought of mixing green onions and leeks in it

If you usually eat dumplings, you will still think these two things are delicious. But the problem is not dumplings but drinks!

It's a nightmare!

Lin Kesong picked up the pen and thought about it, and found a very sad thing, that is, she can't spell "leek".

She looked at Montgomery and made a pitiful request: "Mr. Montgomery, can I ask my friend to teach me how to spell the names of certain ingredients?"

Montgomery looked at Mrs Belle, who nodded and said, "Darling, of course. They didn't get that drink anyway."

After Lin Kesong heard it, she looked at Song Yiran as if she had been granted amnesty: "Hey! How do you spell leeks!"

But don't even know Song Yiran. But even leek dumplings generally only appear in Chinese restaurants, Song Yiran only needs to speak Chinese, how does he know how to say leek in English

"leek. leek."

Song Yiran walked slowly to Lin Kesong's side, leaned against her shoulder lightly, and spelled out the letters for her in a low voice.

Lin Kesong suddenly had a feeling of tears streaming down his face.

When she wrote the word, she clearly saw Montgomery's eyes change. She had a hunch that she had not made a mistake.

Next, she wrote about garlic and green peppers.

Although the raw flavor of green pepper was combined by leeks and garlic, Lin Kesong still tasted it.

But there was another taste on her tongue that made people want to spit out the overnight meal. Although Lin Kesong didn't remember it for a while, but when Mrs. Belle kindly gave her and Bruce a gift When it was a small glass of water, Lin Kesong suddenly recalled.

When she and her family traveled to Sichuan, she ate this vegetable or herbal salad, but... no one in their family was used to eating it. But Song Yiran couldn't possibly spell the name of this grass, right

"What's wrong?" Song Yiran raised his eyebrows.

"Houttuynia cordata, can you fight?" Lin Kesong asked hopelessly.

"Houttuynia cordata? You should ask for more happiness." Song Yiran shrugged.

Lin Kesong had no choice but to turn his head and look in Jiang Qianfan's direction. He definitely knew. And with his hearing, he completely and definitely heard what she said.

But he just doesn't move... doesn't want to help her at all...

At this moment, Mrs. Smith, who was holding Jiang Qianfan, suddenly said, "Ke Song, you can use the electronic dictionary in your mobile phone!"

Lin Kesong stopped. Even Song Yiran looked at her with a "how stupid you are" expression.

It only took her three seconds to find the spelling of "Houttuynia cordata" and write it on the blackboard: rdata.

At this time, the opposite Blue had finished drinking a whole glass.

Montgomery came up to him and asked, "Dear Blue, are you sure that's your answer on the blackboard?"

"I'm not sure... but I can't taste anything else..."

Blue squeezed the words out of his throat, and if he said one more word, he would probably spit it out.

"Okay." Montgomery turned to Lin Kesong, "and what about you?"

"I...I haven't finished drinking..."

"Oh, it doesn't matter if you haven't finished drinking it. The point is, do you think the ingredients you wrote down are correct? Is there anything else to revise or add?"

Montgomery's expression was very kind, which gave Lin Kesong the illusion that the other party was reminding him.

She lowered her head, took another sip of the pitch-black liquid, and kept searching for any smell that she had missed.

As the spiciness traveled down the nerves to her brain, she suddenly realized that the spiciness wasn't just about mustard.

She remembered the minced tarragon that Jiang Qianfan added when he prepared hollandaise sauce for the charcoal grilled pork chop last time.

Turning around, she wrote on the blackboard: .

"I'm sure that's what it should be."

"Okay, let's reveal the results!" Montgomery said, turning the two blackboards over with Mrs. Bell to face everyone.

Only then did Lin Kesong see Bruce's answer: grapefruit, lemon, kiwi, raspberry, kelp, bitter gourd, green onion, coriander, mustard, green pepper.

While most of the ingredients are the same as hers, Bleu mentions coriander and writes leeks herself. In addition to this, she also wrote about tarragon and houttuynia...

Lin Kesong became apprehensive. She wasn't afraid that she guessed wrong, at most she was told that her ability to discern taste was not as good as that of Bru, and Jiang Qianfan also looked like she was not afraid of losing face.

But she really didn't want to drink that big glass of devil's drink! Her bowels will be churning together! Stomach will be spit out by her! She sees dark things in her life, including Coke, there will be psychological shadows!

"Aha, everyone wants to know the answer, right? Which of the two of them has the correct answer? Or neither of them has the correct answer?" Montgomery's eyes shone with gloating light, he looked at Jiang Qianfan, "Everyone knows that my most proud student, Jiang Qianfan, has taste buds that amaze everyone in the industry. Let him find out what's in this drink."

The guests were all stunned for a while and looked at Jiang Qianfan.

Montgomery did not directly announce the answer, obviously to make Jiang Qianfan suffer too.
