Chapter 17: Peach Cake
The old man coughed a few times with a smug face, turned his head to look, and Li Zhishu, who was a little weak-hearted, was even happier in his heart.
In fact, before the birthday banquet, he had never seen this longevity peach cake, and it was only when he just entered the kitchen that he saw the true face of this longevity peach cake, and his jaw was almost frightened for a while.
The old man looked at Min Wanwan with a smile, and there was admiration in his eyes, this girl really didn't disappoint him, and now he finally earned his face back.
Doctor Fang also smiled from ear to ear, deliberately pretending to be modest: "Li Zhishu, you are well-informed, you must have tasted this thing, do you taste it and see if it tastes authentic?" ”
was named by Dr. Fang, Li Zhishu didn't dare to look at his eyes with a weak heart, and coughed a few times pretending to be confident: "Of course, it looks very delicate in appearance, and the taste is estimated to be not much worse." ”
He stared straight at the peach cake in the center of the table, his heart was particularly shocked, and he couldn't wait to taste the taste of this thing, but he didn't dare to say much because of his weak heart.
The surrounding villagers were also amazed when they heard Li Zhishu's words.
"It turns out that Li Zhishu has also eaten this thing, and he is really well-informed."
"But no, he had eaten all the pastries just now, and it looks like we haven't tasted anything, and it's the first time we've seen them."
"No, I can't wait to try it......"
Listening to the admiration and congratulations of the people around her, Su Xue also raised her head proudly, showing off, looking at Min Wanwan, who was idle next to her, who was eating melon seeds, with a burst of disdain on her face.
"Wanwan, have you ever tasted this?"
Her face was arrogant, until Min Wanwan spit out the melon seed skin in her mouth, and her face looked confused.
"That's right, I forgot, you haven't even been out of the village, how can you taste such a thing!"
Min Wanwan swallowed the melon seeds, automatically blocking Su Xue's taunt.
Glancing at Li Hua and Li Zhishu who were staring directly at the longevity peach cake next to her, she couldn't help but want to laugh, and she felt a burst of disdain in her heart.
She made this cake, will she never taste it?
Dr. Su also secretly smiled patiently on the side, silently admiring Min Wanwan's ability to bear, and admired in his heart.
It didn't take long for the small cakes to be distributed on the tables of the surrounding villagers, although they all looked at the big birthday peach cakes on the table with an expectant face, but they still received their own small cakes very self-consciously, for fear that others would snatch them.
Dr. Fang took the wooden knife that Min Wanwan had specially asked him to sharpen, and divided the cake into small pieces little by little.
Of course, the first piece was handed to today's birthday star, and in the old man's hand, the old man smiled from ear to ear while holding the cake.
The second piece was placed in front of Li Zhishu, and then the next few pieces were distributed to the juniors one by one.
Doctor Fang couldn't wait to take a wooden spoon and hand it to Li Zhishu, smiling and squinting: "Li Zhishu, hurry up and taste it, look at whether the taste is authentic or not!" ”
As soon as Dr. Fang's words came out, almost everyone's eyes fell on Li Zhishu's body, and under pressure, Li Zhishu took the wooden spoon with a little weakness and gently dug into the cake.
The feeling of the cake melting in his mouth is unprecedented, and the sweet but not greasy taste also makes him want to taste the next bite after tasting it.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Zhishu ate the small piece of cake in a few spoonfuls.
Putting down the spoon, there was still an infinite aftertaste and the taste of the cake, and the eyes around him came, and he remembered Dr. Fang's words just now, coughed lightly a few times, and pouted a little embarrassedly: "The taste is quite authentic!" ”
The villagers all looked at Li Zhishu with envy, and they couldn't wait to taste the cake in their hands.
Sure enough, everyone was full of praise, and they all fell into the hot flow of the cake for a while, unable to extricate themselves.
Dr. Fang also couldn't wait to take the spoon and taste the cake, the taste was simply endless, and he looked like he was enjoying it.
He squinted, and his eyes fell on Li Zhishu's neck, which was constantly swallowing saliva, and the eyes that stared directly at the longevity peach cake in the center of the table, and he felt a sense of pride in his heart.
"Li Zhishu, since you said that it is authentic, then you might as well tell us about this thing, I don't have you as well-informed, so I won't be ugly."
Li Zhishu was immediately stunned when he heard this, his eyes rolled, and he nodded with some embarrassment on his face: "Eh...... I've tasted it, but I really don't know much about it. ”
At the end of the words, his voice became quieter, and he turned his head weakly, not daring to look at Doctor Fang's eyes.
But Doctor Fang didn't spare him: "Since you don't know much, you always know the name of this thing, you see that you are well-informed, you must know the name of this thing!" ”
The surrounding villagers were also staring wide-eyed, staring in the direction of the main table, and their eyes fell on Li Zhishu, eager to understand what this thing was called.
Li Zhishu was so anxious that he panicked, his face darkened even more, and his whole brain didn't know anything about this thing, let alone what it was called.
I didn't know what to do for a while, he raised his head in a little panic and smiled awkwardly: "Isn't this thing just a snack, what else can you call it?" ”
When the old man heard that his face was folded together, he laughed, and his voice was deliberately raised a few keys: "This is not called dim sum, this is called cake, it is from the West, and it is the same as the dim sum just now, it is a foreign thing, but this thing is very rare, and not many people in the whole country have tasted it, and even the governor wants to taste it, but there is nowhere to buy it." ”
"What, this is called a cake, and it's a foreign thing!"
The eyes of the surrounding villagers shifted to the longevity peach cake, and they all wanted to stare at a hole in it.
One of the old men who had seen the world couldn't help but admire: "This is the cake, I have only seen this thing in a book, and I heard that foreigners eat it for their birthdays." ”
"Really, we're in for a treat."
"This old man is simply well-informed, and he can come up with such a good thing."
Doctor Fang and Old Man Fang were already praised on the side, and Min Wanwan also snickered secretly on the side, secretly glancing at the village party secretary, her face as black as a pot lid was not to mention how happy she was.
Su Xue saw Min Wanwan snickering secretly on the side, and Li Zhishu's black face, she was even more angry, snorted coldly, and gave her a blank look: "What are you laughing at Min Wanwan, haven't you tasted it yet, take advantage of this time to see the world and don't look like a dirt bun!" ”
She also saw it just now that Li Zhishu didn't know the origin and name of the cake at all, and she suddenly felt ashamed in her heart.
Min Wanwan didn't pay attention to Su Xue, who was angry with her, but smiled even more proudly.
This made Su Xue even more annoyed: "Min Wanwan, look at your smirk, what kind of virtue do you look like, you haven't seen the world's dirt buns!" ”
