Gourmet Food Supplier
Seeing that everyone agreed to eat the Rose Mirror cake first, Tang Xi began to cut the cake on the plate. The palm-sized cake had to be distributed to everyone present. Cutting it was also a skill.
It wasn’t tang Xi’s first time doing this. Most of the time, there was only one serving in the store …
He handed the knife to Tang Xi not only because the knife was in her hands but also because Tang Xi had another nickname in the restaurant besides her glorious identity as Yuan Zhou’s number one fangirl.
Therefore, Tang Xi raised the knife in her hand and cut the Rose Mirror cake a few times. She cut it cleanly and divided the Rose Mirror cake into pieces. Each piece was about the same size, and the color was almost the same on each piece. She didn’t let down the reputation of ‘Tang Yidao’.
Lilian had been staring at it with good eyes. When Tang Xi announced the start of the meal, she immediately reached out her white and tender hand and took it.
He must have wiped it with a wet towel before he took it. Although he wouldn’t get sick after eating it, he still had to pay attention to his image in public.
The Rose Mirror cake was white in color except for the colorful surface. The thin and dense white cake looked very appetizing.
As a famous traditional snack on the streets of Chang ‘an, it used to be sold by hawkers carrying special baskets on their shoulders. Although it was simple, it was very popular. The best example was “under the willow tree’s shade, the day is long, and the mirror cake basket is also fragrant.”
The taste was also quite good. The first thing that entered his mouth was the taste of the soft and sweet glutinous rice flour. After mixing it with water and steaming at high temperature, it was sweet and a little tough at the same time. It was not hard to bite, but a little chewy. It was a pastry that needed to be chewed. With the crisp sesame, crushed peanuts, and sweet green and red silk, the more fragrant and sweet glutinous rice cake naturally became rich and colorful.
“Oh, the sweetness is just right. The taste is mixed but not messy. There are soft and hard, which seem to contradict each other, but the combination is just right. It’s really delicious.”
Lilian felt that this trip to China had broadened her horizons. Not only did she open the door to a new world, but she also learned that there were other delicious pastries other than cakes. Her knowledge had also broadened.
Even her poor taste buds were so happy that they seemed to be dancing. Every day was really sweet and colorful.
Lilian’s speed was fast. A small bite of the pastry was finished in a few seconds. She finished the three steps of entering the mouth, chewing, and swallowing. Her stomach was a little delayed and she didn’t digest it in time. Of course, she wouldn’t wait too long.
Although Lilian acted quickly, the others didn’t move slowly either. Wu Hai was sitting at the table next to them. They were all old acquaintances. If they waited until Wu Hai finished snatching their share, they would naturally not be able to keep it. At most, they would only be able to keep Jiang Changxi ‘s.
Hence, Mengmeng and the others quickly stuffed the food into their mouths and started chewing as well. Queen Jiang looked elegant but her movements were not slow at all.
The eight-Treasure Rose Mirror cake quickly entered his stomach, and the rest of the cakes that could be seen were somewhat ordinary.
No matter how ordinary the thing in Yuan Zhou’s hands was, people wouldn’t have any thoughts about it. The first reason they noticed it was because it was very similar to the pastries next to it. The size was similar, but the shape was slightly different.
Upon closer inspection, it was definitely different, but at first glance, it looked quite similar. It was more conspicuous on this plate without the same pastry.
Both of them had sharp ends and a thick circle in the middle. One of the two ends was a little rounder than the other one.
“What is this?” After careful observation, Meng Meng felt that it looked like a shaobing.
However, it was different from shaobing and she was very uncertain. She suppressed the urge to search for it on her mobile phone and asked for help from her friends around her.
It would take time to check on his phone. It would be bad if the pastry was eaten during this time. Each pastry was only about three fingers wide and the length of a palm. It was really not big. Even if there were two pieces, the shape was different. Even if one used their toes to think, they would know that the taste was definitely different. It would be a loss if they missed any piece.
“I don ‘t.” Tang Xi shook her head.
Beside them, man man and Lilian also shook their heads to show that they did not know. Even Queen Jiang shook her head silently as she also did not know. On the other hand, peach, who had not spoken all this while, said,””It should be River Wu tyrant pastry.”
Taozi had eaten the Wujiang Overlord pastry before. As a historical figure, xiaosu was naturally very famous, but she had never eaten it before.
She had also eaten it when she was traveling to the river Wu. The food was not so exquisite and perfect. It looked ordinary, but every inch seemed to be carefully carved. Even the space between each sesame seed seemed to have been measured with a ruler, almost exactly the same.
“I’ve heard of this before. Previously, some netizens wanted me to challenge the spicy Overlord crisps to see how many I could eat. However, due to my schedule, I haven’t been able to make it in time. I can make arrangements after this.” Mengmeng said.
“The spicy flavor should be a new flavor that came out in recent years. The main flavor of the river Wu tyrant crisp is the sweet one. There are also a few salty ones. I think boss Yuan has prepared both the sweet and salty ones.”
Taozi suddenly had an idea and pointed at the two similar shortbread.
She suddenly remembered that the tour guide had introduced the situation and characteristics of the Overlord pastry before. However, it was a small stall that she had found by herself. The owner had been in business for many years. Even though it was just a small shop, he was very conscientious and the supply was in short supply. The peaches had to queue for a long time before they were sold.
“It’s possible. “
The others nodded thoughtfully. Tang Xi took the responsibility and wiped the bamboo knife with a tasteless wet towel first. She started to cut the Overlord pastry after she felt it was clean.
The Conqueror’s pastry was made by baking, which was similar to ordinary sesame seed cakes, so it was very crispy. When Tang Xi started to cut it, they really heard a crunching sound. The crispy crust on the surface was cut into pieces, revealing the soft and tough core inside. It was sweet, and the dense syrup flowed slowly along the cut.
The slight splinters on the incision prevented the syrup from flowing out, but the taste still spread out. The dense sweetness enveloped everyone, and they felt as if their pores had opened up. It was sweet from the inside out.
It was done the second time. After the Rose Mirror cake was distributed, the Overlord pastry was distributed again. Everyone was very familiar with it. Although it was fast for each person to get a piece, no one fought over it.
“Ka Cha, ka Cha”
It was crisp and fragrant, with a good color and taste, sweet but not boring, oily but not greasy. Whether it was the outer shell or the inside, it made people feel very refreshed.
They didn’t know how Overlord Chu felt when he first ate it, but Mengmeng and the rest just felt that this Overlord pastry was very delicious. It was crunchy and delicious, sweet and natural.
After eating the sweet Overlord pastry and cleaning the bamboo knife in the same way, Tang Xi sharpened another pastry that was similar to the one before. It was indeed salty.
Unlike the clear and thick syrup that would flow out when the sweet part was cut open, there was nothing inside the salty part except that it was slightly wet.
