Chapter 397: The Song of Hydrangeas
"What do you think this bowl looks like?"
This question stumped the empty air, his mouth opened wide, and a hand reached out to his head to spare it, like what? Chang Zhaowen once told him that according to the Chinese custom of the Lantern Festival, the Lantern Festival is to guess the riddles.
"Forehead ......" empty fantasy can't think of it, he is embarrassed to hold the small bowl, although the tempting aroma is constantly stimulating his taste buds, his mouth has long been flooded, but he does not dare to start rashly, who told him to have no bottom in his heart, do not understand the rules of the world, afraid that he is doing something wrong, and what kind of basket has been provoked.
Konishi blinked, not good, it seemed that she was self-defeating. Originally, her job was to serve the guests according to her duty and taste the "snow of the four seasons" that the Chang family used to entertain VIPs, and she shouldn't talk so much nonsense, but she felt that she was particularly attached to the gray-haired beautiful boy, so she said a few more words.
But I didn't expect that she had caused trouble to the guests in order to enliven the atmosphere, that is, her fault, if Lao Peng knew, it was estimated that she would have to be told again. Thinking of this, Xiaoxi didn't dare to continue selling Guanzi.
"This purple flower is called hydrangea, native to Dongying, we usually call it hydrangea in China, because these small flowers will form a big flower ball, you see, my small bowl is also specially made of ice into a ball shape, very vivid, right?"
But apparently Sora was not very satisfied with this explanation, and he was still struggling with the question: "What does this flower have to do with summer?" ”
"Because hydrangeas usually bloom in early summer!" Konishi shrugged his shoulders, the answer is as simple as that, "But the choice of hydrangea may be to incorporate a different exotic element, because in Dongying, if you think of brilliant cherry blossoms in spring, summer flowers deserve to be hydrangeas, imagine that in the hot summer, the eyes are full of such fresh purple flowers, and the mood will be better, right?" ”
"That's the case...... "Sora muttered a little suspiciously, obviously not quite agreeing with this explanation.
"Although I don't know anyone in the world, I make hydrangea with your name." A low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and he was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned around and glared at the mysterious black-robed man in the distance.
"What are you talking about, guest?" Konishi frowned, a few guests over there had not looked interested in this shaved ice before, why did they suddenly chant poetry.
The man in black stood up suddenly, his voice was dry and hoarse, and it sounded a little harsh: "I just think your explanation seems to be a little off, hydrangea should not be native to Dongying, the poem just now is from the Tang Dynasty, and the name 'hydrangea' should have been transmitted to Dongying at that time." Yes, the people of Toei seem to be particularly fond of this flower, but I think that the main theme of 'Summer Snow' may not be limited to this. ”
"So, then why?" Konishi's face turned red, and he stammered a little. According to the rules, when serving food to guests, if the guests are interested, they should explain the relevant background in as much detail as possible, but "the snow of the four seasons" is not easy to show, and the information that Konishi temporarily pieced together is obviously too thin.
"In fact, in addition to being called hydrangea, hydrangea also has a name 'hydrangea', which is taken from 'eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers', because this flower is good at changing."
"Good at change?" Sora and Konishi repeated in unison, this flower is not a chameleon, how can it still change?
"Yes." The long black robe covered the other party's face, and no one could see his expression at the moment, "This kind of flower will change color because of the pH in the soil, and sometimes it can change several different colors in a flowering period, from white to red to blue to bruised, and even the same flower ball will have a variety of mixed colors......
Xiao Xi nodded convincingly, it seems that this black-robed man is indeed an expert, she hurriedly packed a "Summer Snow" for him, and walked respectfully towards the black-robed man with it, but she didn't expect to be stopped by him with a gesture before she could get to the black-robed man: "No, it's not convenient to eat now." ”
Inconvenience? Xiaoxi was stunned, such an attractive delicacy was actually inconvenient to eat, if it weren't for the constraints of identity and work, she would also want to have a bowl of it! This group of people is so strange!
"Okay, if they don't eat it, put the bowl aside first, and I'll taste it slowly later!" With an excited face, he raised the silver spoon in his hand, "Then I'll try it to see how many changes it will have!" ”
After a mouthful of smoothie, his empty face suddenly turned red like a fire, no, not only his face, his whole body instantly turned red like a cooked prawn, and it was still hot from head to toe.
Didn't he eat ice? How can it get hotter and hotter the more you eat it?
But don't say it, although the whole person eats steaming hot and dizzy, but it is extremely comfortable, and the mood is amazing, grinning empty, and suddenly laughing out loud, so happy!
Seeing Kongkong's staggering smile, the black-robed man muttered quietly: "It seems that there is wine in this." ”
Ha, it turns out that there is wine! The emptiness suddenly opened up, but the next second he was like riding a roller coaster, screaming and rushing into the sky, exciting! Play is a heartbeat!
It's changed, and the taste has changed! As a piece of fresh petals gently melted on the tip of the tongue, it was like a stone suddenly dropped on the surface of a calm lake, and the ripples continued to spread outward from the center.
The soft and light cream, accompanied by the petals, was sweet and smooth, and when he turned the base of his tongue, he found that the triple smoothie had also been added to the crushed almond flakes, and the roasted yellowish almonds gave off a nutty aroma, and when he wanted to savor it, the fried crunchy brown rice came out again.
What else? The tooth hit a small piece of hard object, he didn't hesitate to bite down, "click", the whole hazelnut was bitten open, the rich oil fragrance filled the mouth, and the fragrance of teeth and cheeks was said to be this!
"Poof!" A mass of watery gel bursts in the mouth, this is ice powder. Empty face shook, sure enough, just like the black-robed man said, there are too many things hidden in this shaved ice, and every bite is a different feeling, a different taste, and it is simply a surprise.
Every bite has a new surprise, and every bite is a different feeling! This is eating, it's clearly a treasure hunt!
