Chapter 37: The Midsummer Drink

Sikong Yao accepted Li Li's challenge without hesitation, completely igniting the atmosphere of the entire scene.

On one side is the young and beautiful cold drink girl Sikong Yao, and on the other side is the charming and arrogant party host Li Li.

Just like water, like fire, the so-called incompatibility of water and fire, the strong smell of gunpowder between the two is strong, which undoubtedly adds thousands of styles to the hot summer.

The news of the drink duel between the two spread throughout the playground, and all the students ran over like wild horses on the loose, ignoring the instructor's drinking orders.

The twenty instructors looked at each other, angry, but helpless.

The instructor of Tiewu is also never a ruthless master, and people's hearts are also fleshy. I panicked for a while, and I simply looked lively.

But they put on a grim face, probably pretending to be under the stairs.

If they seem to be a little soft-hearted, the soldiers under them will not be able to manage after a while.

One of the instructors sang with a black face and shouted, "What are you doing, what are you doing!" When it's time to rest, I'll go back to the team. ”

This makes people laugh when he says this, how many of the thousands of students can listen to him?

Of course, he also understands it very well, so there is another one who sings white face.

A slightly shorter, but equally sturdy instructor said, "I said Yang Bin, what's wrong with the students wanting to have a drink on this hot day?" Can't you be reasonable? ”

Yang Bin pretended to be ruthless, his voice was high-pitched and loud, and he shouted: "Be reasonable? Zhang Xiong, the enemy on this battlefield reasoned with you? ”

Zhang Xiong was not happy, and said: "I said why are you so stubborn, this is not a battlefield, the students are thirsty, and it is not illegal to drink some ice water." ”

Then Zhang Xiong shouted to thousands of students: "Guys, do you say? ”

The students shouted "yes" in unison.

Zhang Xiong laughed again: "Hey, Yang Bin, this is the will of the people." ”

Yang Bin glanced at him, and poured: "Yes, I can't say you, how can you toss if you love it." It's hot, your mouth is dry, and I'm too lazy to argue with you. ”

The instructors made it clear that they wanted to find a step down and come to have a good time, but they couldn't save face.

Sikong Yao is not only skillful, but also very thoughtful, she can understand Yang Bin's words, so she said: "Instructor, we are doing a drink showdown here, and there are a few judges missing, can I bother you?" ”

Yang Bin is singing blackface, of course, he can't be too festive, but Zhang Xiong took over and said: "Yo, that's good, Xiao Yao, don't pay attention to this stupid big man, Zhang Xiong, I'll be the master, today our twenty instructors are here to cheer you on." ”

The two instructors sang and sang the double reed well, and the students below were happy.

After this showdown, it will take several hours to say the least.

The thought of being lazy for most of the day makes these students who have been devastated by the scorching heat happy.

The students stood in a square of 1,000 people under the organization of the instructor, and then sat down neatly, ready to watch the cold drink competition.

Cold drinks originated in the Shang Dynasty about 3,000 years ago, when wealthy families knew to dig ice and store it in cellars in winter for the next summer.

In the Zhou Dynasty, it even extended a kind of official position, the "Lingren" who was in charge of "ice power".

In the late spring and autumn, ice became more widely used. The princes loved to drink chilled rice wine at banquets.

In "Chu Ci and Spiritualism", it is recorded that the phrase "frustrated and frozen drink, cooler", is used to praise the chilled glutinous rice wine, which is mellow and cool to drink, which shows the charm of cold drinks.

Li Li borrowed people and set up an instructor.

"Instructor, why don't you come and sit in my car, it's cool and cool."

The instructors nodded, on this hot day, everyone wants to have a shady place.

Sikong Yao shook her head helplessly, it was not a means for Li Li to curry favor with the instructors.

She just thinks that the person who will beg the judges like this must also have no confidence in his own strength.

However, no one can guarantee that this will make a difference if the two are evenly matched.

In short, when the two of them set up the operating table, the competition will officially begin.

Meng Xiyao naturally gave Sikong Yao a hand, and was busy with pots and pans on the side.

This made Li Li look angry and gritted her teeth.

She also has two assistants, but she can't look down on her, she only has Meng Xiyao in her heart.

Although Li Li is not very good at the bottom of her heart, she has a good appearance when she cooks, and she looks like a master.

Peel the pineapple from the freezer and cut it into small pieces, marinate it in sugar, heat it over low heat and boil it together to make a sugar water.

Then Li Li added agar and some acidulant to the pot to cook the jam.

Axi watched from the side, and asked flatteringly: "Sister Li, you are very good at this craft, what are you doing?" ”

Li Li was praised by Axi with a smile on her face, and responded: "Mango pineapple ice." ”

Assi continued to praise: "This is good, this is good, mango and pineapple are the first-class fruits of summer. ”

Although Assi boasted poorly, he was also telling the truth.

Mango is known as the "king of tropical fruits", with delicate flesh, unique flavor and rich nutrition, and is deeply loved by people.

Although pineapple is not as famous as mango, it was also called "Wang Pear" in the early years, which shows his domineering deliciousness. And the pineapple also has a nice symbolic story, which means "perfect".

Li Li chose two kinds of fruits with a very tropical style and served them with smoothie, which is also very seasonal.

Mango peeled, pitted and diced, mango selection of high-quality cinnamon seven mangoes, sugar content up to 20%, the flesh is tender and sweet.

Ice cubes are crushed and grated, and the water used to make ice is added with sugar and condensed milk, and the smoothie has a delicate and smooth taste.

Vanilla yogurt, pineapple juice, coconut milk and condensed milk are blended together to form a sauce that glows brightly in the sun.

The smoothie is topped with a layer of diced mango, followed by coconut fruit, and finally drizzled with a sweet golden pineapple juice.

The ice crystals hang bright yellow, dancing dazzlingly in the sun.

The faint sour taste begins to tantalize people's taste buds and make people salivate.

Compared with Li Li's amazing skills, Sikong Yao's drinks seem to be a little cheesy.

It was a big pot of tea, green tea.

Li Li has finished her work, and twenty glasses of sweet mango and pineapple smoothies sparkle with dazzling light.

Some of the instructors have already begun to eat greedily, the sweet and sour pineapple sauce is mixed with the smoothie, and the tender taste of mango, the cold smell swells from top to bottom, as if people are swimming in an ocean of ice.

This is definitely the drink overlord in the middle of summer.

Yang Bin took a closer look, there were no lines on the mango dice, and the four staggered diagonal lines made the mango look like a scale.

Li Li's mango pineapple ice turned into a soaring golden dragon, which was extremely shocking.

Li Li is like a triumphant general, showing off in advance that he has won the battle.

She scoffed, "Are you just going to use this pot of tea to compare yourself to me?" It's ridiculous. ”

Sikong Yao ignored Li Li's words, and just quietly brewed his own tea.

Sikong Yao used the punching method of "Phoenix Three Nods".

The high-hanging kettle makes the flowing water full of impact and graceful curves. The pot bearer finally gently ordered three times, and the last tea soup was put into the cup, and the portion was just right.

The tea soup should account for seven-tenths of the teacup, which means "seven points of tea, three points of love".

A teaspoon of sugar water was then added to the cup.

The sugar water people's cup meets the fragrant green tea, and the hot tea fragrance immediately wafts out.

But it's not just green tea, it's a hint of jasmine.

That spoonful of syrup was a syrup made from jasmine.

The last to come out is the ice cubes, square Xiaoice blocks.

Ice cubes were packed into the shaker, exactly three-tenths of the remaining green tea glass.

Twenty shakers lined up, and the stainless steel lids closed almost the moment the green tea was poured.

Sikong Yao's hand speed was so fast that people only saw her raise the first cup of green tea, and then in the blink of an eye, from left to right, twenty cups of green tea had been loaded.

Twenty shakers were placed horizontally on the tabletop, and Sikong Yao's right palm was elegantly pressed against the countertop.

The next moment, Sikong Yao swept from right to left, and the twenty cocktails with closed lids were integrated and turned violently.

The shaker spun around quickly, and twenty as one, dancing.

As you can imagine, ice cubes and hot tea are blending rapidly in the whirlwind of the world.

Green tea gently wraps the ice cubes, which is a pale cyan ocean of ice.

Ice cubes are sacrificed for it, dissolving their own coldness into green tea.

Jasmine also mixed in, adding a faint fragrance.

A pre-filled spoonful of cocoa powder and a spoonful of powdered milk in the shaker also melted, and the honey turned them into a beautiful foam.

After a few seconds, the first shaker stopped.

A pour of iced tea is poured into the cup, and the foam created by the shaking floats on the surface of the cup.

This is Sikong Yao's masterpiece, jasmine green tea.

As soon as this move came out, Li Li's mango golden dragon seemed to have hit a pale cyan iceberg.

The tranquil scent turned into a chain, binding the golden dragon firmly.

The golden dragon tried to break free, and the foamy snow with the scent of jasmine fell.

The tsunami of green tea rolled over, and the golden dragon finally drowned in Sikong Yao's realm.

Everyone hadn't reacted from Sikong Yao's amazing stunt, twenty cups of green tea had already been lined up, and the process from concoction to cupping was only thirty seconds.

It's too fast, Sikong Yao's wonderful technique is completely different from when he brewed green tea before, the former is as fast as thunder, and the latter is dexterous and elegant.

The so-called quiet is like a virgin, and movement is like a rabbit, which is the case.

But no matter how subtle this technique is, it is only a visual impact.

No matter how exquisite the technique is, it cannot override the taste buds and ban the key to a drink.

Taste is always the key.

The twenty instructors quietly tasted the jasmine green tea in their hands, but they didn't say a word.
