Chapter 223: Yun Niang
In the midst of the screams of the crowd, Ruo Ruo placed the steamer on top of the large bowl of fire with one hand without fear of color, and drew circles on the blue flame in a very regular way, using the technique to control the evenness of the heating of the entire steamer.
When the flame was at its hottest, she suddenly lifted the lid of the steamer, and a cloud of hot air gushed out, and then, a light pink lotus flower appeared in everyone's sight, with the surging heat, the petals of the lotus flower quickly stretched out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, the entire steamer was filled. The slender petals are full of light, as if flowing water is turning inside, presenting a thrilling beauty.
"A miracle in full bloom! It's a miracle in full bloom! Isn't this the signature 'Jiao Niang' of Huadianfang——"
There were a few viewers who were fortunate enough to see the Huadianfang auction, and the moment they saw the lotus in full bloom, they had already thought of the "Jiao Niang" auction that had long been famous in the entire Xiangnan County, but after shouting for a while, they suddenly felt a little different from the previous "Jiao Niang". Not to mention that one is a rose and the other is a lotus, just looking at the finished product, there are completely different ways of processing.
"Jiao Niang" has a glass retort to add color, the whole blooming process is not as fierce as the current lotus bloom, not to mention that today's bowl of spirits is the street juggling routine, and look at the surrounding roaring voices, it is not much different from the roadside to watch the show.
Such a rough approach to the finished product contrasts strongly with the delicate work she presents. When the petals were fully bloomed, there was less than half of the wine in the bowl under the steamer. The flames faded away, and the bottom of the steamer gradually became black due to direct contact with the open flame.
The applause of the crowd gradually weakened, and everyone sniffed around. I know that it is unlikely to eat it anyway, so I can only smell the aroma and get over it. It's just that for some reason, there is little aroma in the air, except for the closest people who can smell a faint fragrance, all others can smell is the burnt smell of the steamer after it has been burned.
The miracle of blooming, Lord Wang has only heard of it but has not seen it in person, and at this time he is in the best viewing position. The eyeballs widened, and they wanted to stick directly into the steamer. It's just that he was shocked, but the words he said were incompatible with the atmosphere of the scene.
"Miss Xiao. Can I eat it? ”
Such a beautiful thing, most people tend to appreciate it and rarely consider the problem of tasting, but this Lord Wang is different from others, the appearance of a foodie who is about to flow out with a big mouth. It's really annoying when you see it.
"Huh? Now~I'll have to wait a bit~"
Hearing Lord Wang's question. Ruoshui's reaction was different from that of the onlookers, what she made was food, not handicrafts, and naturally what she wanted to see most was the happy expressions of the diners when they tasted the delicious food, so Lord Wang's appearance as a foodie was even more appealing to her.
Therefore, she replied to Lord Wang's words in a good voice, and the movements of her hands changed suddenly.
She grabbed the large porcelain bowl. As soon as he raised his hand, most of the wine in the bowl was immediately spilled. Only a very shallow bottom remained, and then a flip hand was clasped onto the steamer, completely buttoning the entire blooming lotus flower into the bowl.
Immediately afterwards, a slight "pop" cracking sound sounded, the sound became louder and louder, until finally there was a crisp "click" sound, and the coarse porcelain bowl finally cracked in half, revealing the lotus flower in the bowl, and the petals were full of crystal water droplets, like nectar in the morning.
What's even more surprising is that this snack, which originally had no fragrance, suddenly exudes an extremely strong aroma at this time. Most of this aroma is intoxicating, but the intoxicating aroma of wine is not strong, just because it is mixed with an extremely inconspicuous atmosphere, but it plays a role in neutralizing the fragrance of the incense, so that the fragrance of this dim sum is sublimated to a new level.
If people were just appreciating the beauty of this snack before, at this moment, under the temptation of this fragrance, they have completely fallen into the illusion of its taste.
The meaning of the so-called food, which is full of color and flavor, lies entirely in how to make diners have a strong taste for food, rather than simply appreciating or sighing at the dazzling production methods. Ruoshui's last button, although it seems to be a gorgeous end to his juggling cooking technique, is actually completing the sublimation of this dim sum at the level of incense.
At this moment, everyone held their breath, staring at this exquisite masterpiece, no one had opened their mouths to break the silence but full of shock, until Ruoshui, the only one who had not been shocked by her work, carefully moved this snack to a water ripple square dish that had been prepared a long time ago, and then she said leisurely.
"The green pond shakes the stars, and rolls the orchid into the white apple. It should be a sock on the roselle wave, and there is fragrant dust in the lotus stamen so far. This dim sum, named 'Yun Niang', is another dim sum in the series of flower dots in Hua Dian Fang. ”
“…… Good! Okay—"
"Flower Point Shop - Flower Point Shop -"
Everyone gradually evolved from a roaring applause to a rhythmic shouting of the name of Huadianfang, and the attention and popularity aroused by this "Yun Niang" is really a height that is difficult for any dish of other participating teams to achieve.
However, even if everyone's emotions were excited and enthusiastic, they still knew that this was the site of the trials, so they didn't shout so endlessly, and when the call gradually weakened, everyone turned their eyes to Lord Wang. He is the referee in this game, and he is also the only character who can taste the food in the right name, although he has already opened a precedent for the participating teams to be able to taste the dishes, but when it is the turn of Ruoshui, a dish that can make people can't help but be in awe, everyone still habitually let Lord Wang taste it first.
This Lord Wang, in terms of anti-interference ability, is definitely rare in the world, and under the eyes of many pious people, he still went his own way, grinning and asking with a stupid smile.
"Can you eat it now?"
There was a burst of boos at the scene......
However, the boos were quickly extinguished, as they all replied without thinking after hearing Ruoshui's hearty laughter.
"Of course."
After getting permission, Lord Wang seemed to want to take the entire steamer directly in front of him and swallow it in one gulp, but after stretching out his hand, he suddenly felt anger from all directions, looked around, and finally took a lotus petal with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
