......

The students in the harbor whispered 'whispers' and craned their necks to find the source of the fragrance in the venue.

"Ah!! it's the food made by that pretty fairy girl' sister. โ€

"Oh my God, what did she do, why did it smell so good. โ€

"It's not just fragrant, it's also beautiful, I saw it just now when she put it on the plate, it's very beautiful, it seems to be a ...... It looks like eight-treasure rice. โ€

"Eight treasure rice!"

The whole venue was 'excited'.

It's actually eight-treasure rice, so there was no problem with everyone's nose just now.

Babao rice is the traditional name of the Han nationality, and the food customs of the Laba Festival are popular all over the country, especially in the south of the Yangtze River.

Folks believe that the Eight Treasure Rice is derived from the ancient Eight Treasure Map, and the encyclopedias also use this statement.

The early eight-treasure rice is steamed glutinous rice mixed with sugar and lard, put lotus seeds, red dates, kumquat, longan 'meat', honey cherries, honey winter melon, barley rice, melon seeds eight kinds of fruits, sprinkled red, green plum silk made, so that the eight treasure rice is not only 'color' fragrance and beauty, but also meaning: lotus seeds are the harmony of the eight treasure diagrams, symbolizing marriage harmony and harmony; longan symbolizes reunion; kumquat symbolizes auspiciousness; red dates symbolize early birth of noble sons; honey cherries, honey winter melons symbolize sweet honey; barley rice is transformed from cranes, symbolizing longevity, Elegant and pure; melon seed kernel is a variant of the drum board, symbolizing a regular life, peace and no disaster; red plum silk and dragon "gate" are the same "color", containing the meaning of encouraging progress and blessing success, and green plum silk symbolizes longevity.

Later, the ingredients of the eight treasure rice became more and more simplified, only the preserved fruits of various 'colors' were used instead of kumquat, honey cherry, honey melon and red and green plum shreds, and later spices such as osmanthus 'flower' were added, which meant that "gold 'jade' was full of hall", and the word "gold" meant that the raw material of osmanthus 'flower' used was golden cinnamon.

The recipe for making Babao rice is much the same, basically steaming glutinous rice, mixing with sugar, oil, osmanthus 'flower', pouring into a utensil containing red dates, barley, lotus seeds, longan, and other fruits, and then pouring sugar marinade after steaming.

The eight-treasure rice made by Chu Yingxuan is bright and beautiful, soft and sweet, and it makes people appetize at first glance.

When the Eight Treasures Rice was presented to the judges, the hearts of all the audience were in their throats.

This is the first food to be tasted by the judges, is it good or not?

The judges' faces were cold and serious, and they didn't seem to be impressed by the beautiful appearance of Babao Rice.

Everyone '' the chopsticks of the 'chicken' wing, and put the eight-treasure rice in their mouths.

Chew slowly, everyone eats very elegantly.

When the first bite of rice was swallowed down the throat by "Gu Dong", the audience also swallowed saliva involuntarily.

Is it delicious or not?

How does it taste?

It smells so good, it must be delicious, right?

Why does everyone's expression seem to be serious?

Chu Yingxuan looked at the serious-looking person on the judges' table, and a touch of confidence flashed in the depths of her eyes.

And the students at the venue, looking at the confident Chu Yingxuan, were even more suspicious.

Is it delicious or not, why are everyone's expressions so ...... Hard to describe.
