In the reception room, Xu Lao suddenly paused at the moment before putting down the chopsticks.

Not because of anything else, but under the thick smell of the meat sauce, another new and beautiful taste grew from his mouth.

The taste is very light and light, but it can be sensed by the tongue again when the mouth has tasted the rich flavor, and it is a bit like a solid seedling that has broken out, flexible and long.

After tasting this taste, Xu Lao didn't have the energy for a while, and he didn't believe it, and the chopsticks that he was about to put down turned halfway, and then he put them in a small plate and dipped some sauce in his mouth.

This time, instead of being as casual as he had been at the beginning, he began to ponder the sauce from the moment it entered his mouth.

That's right, the base is definitely beef sauce, and I can't be mistaken about the taste.

Seasonings such as light soy sauce, mustard and various nuts should be added next, which is the second layer of flavor and the usual sauce flavor.

And then here it is!

Xu Lao's spirits were lifted!

He found that faint and light taste again, hidden under the heavy smell of beef sauce, which he had just thought was like a tough seed about to sprout, but now he felt that this taste was more like a little urchin playing hide and seek with people, and the more you tried to grab it, the more it refused to let you grasp it.

Although it lasted a little longer, it finally dissipated in the mouth like the basic taste of the beef sauce before.

Xu Lao moved his tongue and smacked his lips with a little regret, or did he not catch the taste of this light breath, like the smell of grass? Like the breath of spring? All in all, it's very interesting, it's not annoying, and it goes well with the previous flavor.

If I guessed correctly, this flavor should have been hidden in the meat sauce, but it was more stubborn, so it still existed after the meat sauce flavor evaporated.

There's just a problem.

His tongue is also quite sensitive, and it is only at the last moment that he can catch this faint taste; If it is replaced by the tongue of an ordinary person, can it be caught or not?

Xu Lao pondered while continuing to eat with the tips of chopsticks dipped in the meat sauce on the plate. He's also getting better at the tail-dragging meat sauce, and he wants to figure out what this taste is all about.

But before he could figure it out, the tip of the chopsticks that poked into the plate again had already "popped" and touched the bottom of the porcelain plate!

Xu Lao suddenly came back to his senses from the demonic taste.

He fixed his eyes and saw that the sauce that was originally full of small plates had been eaten by him before he knew it, and only half of it was left!

His old face turned red, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he hurriedly coughed and said, "You just said that this sauce is called breath fresh sauce, right?" ”

Yi Baitang said "um".

Xu Lao planned to pour himself a glass of water and wash the taste in his mouth, he pondered and continued: "Breath fresh sauce, how much do you plan to borrow?" ”

Yi Baitang: "Two million." ”

Xu Lao let out an "oh".

Two million is not a lot. Recently, no one has come to take out loans, but the chef association has a sum of money that has been left in the dust, as long as he writes down this recipe as collateral, there is no problem in lending it to him...... But usually, the chef comes to set the price, and they are more or less, meaning that they also want to keep the price down, and the things that are hard to get are less likely to be squandered.

So do I want 1.5 million back, or do I want 1.7 million back?

Speaking of that little tail, hiss, it's really funny!

Xu Lao took a sip of water.

Then he suddenly noticed that something was wrong in his mouth.

He found that he didn't have the taste of the sauce in his mouth - but how was that possible?!

With such a thick beef sauce, even if you only eat one chopstick, there will inevitably be a residual taste in your mouth; He had eaten half a full plate just now, and if it wasn't for the sudden loss of his sense of taste, it must be-

Xu Lao Huoran turned around and glared at Yi Baitang, who was sitting at the table:

"You just said your sauce is called Breath Fresh Sauce? What is it used for? ”

Yi Baitang: "......"

He couldn't understand why such a simple use couldn't be tasted by people in the chef industry, so he had to explain, "The use is to freshen the breath." ”

Xu Lao: "......"

He also didn't understand why anyone could talk about such innovations and inventions so simply!

He slapped the table hatefully, and said, "Very well, you have managed to attract my attention, and I have borrowed two million loans—"

"Bang"!

A voice suddenly came from behind the reception room, interrupting what Xu Lao was about to say.

Conversation between the two men in the reception room is temporarily suspended.

Yi Baitang first turned his slightly puzzled gaze to the door where the voice came, and then stayed on Xu Lao.

Xu Lao only then remembered that there was a distinguished guest behind him!

He didn't have time to say anything to Yi Baitang for a while, so he quickly got up from his seat and ran in, but after a while, he ran out again, took a new plate of sauce in front of Yi Baitang and ran in.

Yi Baitang: "......"

Then he heard a strange voice coming from inside: "Hmph, isn't it just that mint and some petals are added, and they are crushed and boiled with beef sauce, and I should be some kind of groundbreaking innovation." ”

Yi Baitang: "......"

He raised his eyebrows, his eyes fixed on the sliding door of the reception room, only to see two phantoms, one tall and one short, vaguely reflected on the door, the tall one was Xu Lao, who was talking to him just now, and the short one was a little fat, as if a big winter melon was squatting there, about twice as wide as ordinary people.

From the time he came in this morning to the present, in addition to boiling the sauce, Yi Baitang focused his attention for the first time: "Oh? Can you taste what I put in it? ”

"What's so hard about that?" The sound of laughter was heard. Then, the slightly strange voice continued, "The mint leaves are the heaviest, and then there are lilies, and there are leek flowers, and there are no roses, no osmanthus, and no fragrant petals...... Well, you put some of the pulp too, at least apples, right? ”

But in the blink of an eye, the people sitting inside were already like a few treasures, and they analyzed all the materials used by Yi Baitang in the sauce one by one.

Yi Baitang's gaze became solemn as he looked at the sliding door.

After a moment, he said, "Not bad. ”

The man went on to say, "I know your train of thought. The bolognese has a strong flavor and makes it uncomfortable in the mouth after eating, so you use this light but persistent flavor to mask the flavor of the bolognese. In the end, the human mouth is not devoid of taste, but the taste of flowers and fruits remains, and the taste is still there, but it changes from a destructive taste to a mild taste. ”

The people inside and outside the reception room were talking, and the two parties inside and outside a sliding door did not pay attention, and while they were talking, two more people walked along the small courtyard to this side.

The person who walked in front and led the way wanted to bring the person behind him directly into the reception room, but at this time, it was the time when the big winter melon in the reception room began to speak, and the person who followed behind stopped Lao Chen's actions, stopped under the big orange tree, and listened carefully. When he heard that "the taste changed from spoiled to mild," his eyes flashed, and his eyes fell first on the sauce that lay on the table in the reception room, and then on the owner of the sauce.

Then, I watched the excitement with interest.

Yi Baitang has been silently listening to what the big winter melon said.

His eyes were fixed on the position of the big winter melon for a moment, and after the huge shadow had finished his words, he suddenly smiled and said slowly:

"Half of it was eaten, half of it was guessed that my intention was to push back on my ingredients. It's not a big deal that I make this sauce, you ......."

He said coldly:

"It's not necessarily a big deal."
