Chapter 205 The Familiar Taste of Happiness

A few old customers immediately came to watch, curious about what the new product looks like.

When they saw the true face of the new product Lushan, several customers were stunned and did not speak for a long time.

Naturally, the exquisiteness of the porcelain plates goes without saying, and the delicacies on the plates are even more impeccable in appearance.

After calming down, a customer said, "Damn it, this is a new product, it's so delicate, I thought it was just casually cut cucumber cold salad."

Even the customer who said that he often ate the cold cucumber made by his wife was dumbfounded now. He was completely slapped in the face. The cold cucumber was more than ten blocks better than his wife's cold cucumber in terms of appearance.

An old chubby foodie recognized the knife technique of cold cucumber at a glance, and said in amazement, "Holding the grass, Boss Bai is not simple. The coir raincoat used for this cucumber was cut with a knife."

A middle-aged female teacher wearing glasses also gathered around to look at the new products. The first thing she noticed was not the hovering cucumbers, but a carrot and rose flower sculpture in the center of the cucumbers.

The food carvings are extremely delicate, surpassing the craftsmanship of a five-star flower food carving chef.

Each petal is carved as thin as a cicada's wing, thin and textured, without losing the charm of the flower, and the carving lines are smooth but not rigid, fully capturing the true meaning of food carving.

Dotted in the crisp and tender green coir raincoat cucumber, dotted with this rose food sculpture, it is simply a little red in the green bushes, quite a magical finishing touch.

The middle-aged female teacher was stunned for a while, even though she is a Chinese teacher with a brilliant literary talent, she really couldn't describe in words the shocking feeling when she saw this new product.

In fact, as Bai Xiaobai's flower sculptures continue to improve, his flower food sculptures have faintly broken through the super high realm of supernatural carvings.

It is no longer simply resembling a flower in shape, but has gradually reached the resemblance of a flower in spirit.

During the Tang and Five Dynasties, Fanzheng, a female food carving master of a generation, was proficient in her flower food carvings. According to ancient books, her strength in flower food carvings is: both shape and shape can attract butterflies.

The flowers carved from the ingredients can attract butterflies, which shows that the carver has reached the state of becoming a god, and no one can surpass him.

Although Bai Xiaobai's flower carvings have not yet reached this level, they are slowly getting closer.

A little fat man looked at the new delicacies on the porcelain plate, his eyes were straightened, his mouth secreted a lot of saliva, and he couldn't help wiping away the saliva that was slightly overflowing from the corner of his mouth, "Damn, Boss Bai is really awesome. You don't need to eat this cold dish. Just looking at it makes me feel satisfied.”

"It's so exquisitely made, I don't want to eat it just looking at it." An uncle took out his mobile phone, clicked it, and secretly took a photo of the new food.

A good customer even gave this new cold dish a nickname, Qinglong Hanhua.

There is also a young man, quite bookish, and also took a nickname, quite poetic, called Qinglong Circling Flower Self Bloom!

Bai Xiaobai was cooking delicious food in the glass kitchen, and he could hear the voices of customers outside clearly.

These few named customers must have read YY novels a lot, and they will naturally be poisoned if they read too much.

However, these two nicknames seem to be a little bit better than the previous nickname of "Flying Wings" for crispy golden chicken wings.

Of course, Bai Xiaobai will not stifle the creativity of customers. The more nicknames they give new products, the more attention they can attract. This is what he is very happy to see.

At present, there are a lot of people onlookers watching the new product, crowded with people, and talking about it.Xiaoxiao and Sister Sanji were at a loss. They didn't expect to order a new product and attract so many people to watch.

But this cold dish is really pleasing to the eye, and chefs in five-star hotels may not cook it so delicately.

For the convenience of eating this delicacy, the system has a small cutter. Since two customers are ordering a portion, Bai Xiaobai thoughtfully provided two small cutters.

Xiaoxiao and Sister Sanji each picked up a small cutter and cut a slice of cucumber to eat.

After a little bit of cold sauce, Xiaoxiao just chewed it, and the crispness and tenderness of the cucumber and the incomparably delicious cold sauce immediately swept her entire mouth, causing her brain to twitch suddenly.

This cold side dish is not only beautiful, but also tastes simple.

Under cold dressing, without being baptized by flames, the fragrance of cucumber is retained without loss. The most important thing is that the cucumber is really crisp and tender, and every bite is fresh and tender. The cold sauce is fragrant but not greasy. The cold sesame oil should be used. But what is this faint spicy taste, and why is it so special?

A string of question marks came out of Xiaoxiao's little head, and she was really puzzled.

Sister Sanji ate a piece of cucumber, but there were tears in her eyes.

After Xiaoxiao saw it, she was puzzled and said, "Sister Sanji, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes red?"

Sister Sanji rubbed her eyes, sniffed and said, "It's okay, I just missed my mother all of a sudden."

Xiaoxiao was even more puzzled and said, "Eat a side dish, why do you suddenly think of your mother?"

Sister Sanji said frankly, "This cold cucumber is seasoned with cornel, and I can taste it as soon as I eat it."

When Xiaoxiao heard this, she immediately understood.It turns out that cornel was used. No wonder——

Xiaoxiao and Lin Yu came from the same village, and they were best friends for three years in junior high school, so they have a very deep relationship.

Xiaoxiao still knows a lot about Lin Yu.

Lin Yu's nickname was Sister Sanji. The reason why she chose such a strange and unpleasant nickname was because Lin Yu was born on the day of the rooster, the rooster, the moon, and the rooster.

This birthday horoscope is very bad, and the most terrible thing is that it conflicts with her mother's horoscope, and the family may be ruined.

Country people are still superstitious, especially the older generation. For this reason, Lin Yu's mother went to a fortune teller for a divination to find a solution.

The fortune teller, in order to let Lin Yu be able to control this horoscope, suggested that Lin Yu's mother choose a humble name for the child, the cheaper the better.

Lin Yu's mother had no education, so she gave Lin Yu a very cheap nickname, Sanji.

Lin Yu's father died early, leaving his mother behind to depend on each other, relying on hard work, he has been safe and sound, and his life is still passable.

Every year at the end of autumn, when the dogwood is harvested, Lin Yuma would go up the mountain to pick wild dogwood and sell it to traders to earn a little money in order to supplement her family’s income.

Cornus officinalis has a miraculous effect on treating cold, vomiting, stomach cold and diarrhea, and the price bought by dealers in the countryside is also good.

Moreover, cornel has a spicy smell and unique taste, which is very suitable for seasoning, so when Lin Yuma cooks fish and meat dishes, she will make special cornel seasoning by herself, adding some to enhance the taste and remove the fishy smell.

For money and to make special condiments, Lin Yuma goes to the mountains to pick them every autumn, without exception.

Under the influence of Lin Yu's ears and eyes, she also likes this plant very much, and even more likes the dishes made from dogwood.

But there was one thing that happened afterwards, which made Lin Yu never want to see this kind of plant again.

One year, when Lin Yuma went to the mountain to pick dogwood, something happened. She was bitten by a poisonous snake.

The wound was on the calf. Because of lack of common sense, she sucked the wound with a broken mouth, which eventually caused the toxin to spread rapidly.

Because her body was already weak and her treatment was improper, when Lin Yuma went down the mountain, she was already seriously poisoned, and before she could be sent to the hospital, she died on the way.

Before dying, Lin Yu's mother was still holding on to the twig of the dogwood that had just been picked, and she was still unwilling to let go.

Lin Yu has been eating cornel-flavored dishes since she was a child, and has long been accustomed to the taste of cornel. It can be said that she likes it very much, but since her mother passed away unexpectedly because of picking cornel.

In order not to uncover this scar, Lin Yu gradually abandoned the homemade seasoning of dogwood, and even resented this plant a little.If it weren't for it, my mother would never have an accident!

After graduating from junior high school, Lin Yu, like most young people, left the countryside where she was born and raised, and began to work in the city to make a living.

It has been several years since Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao came to the big city to make a living.

Chili peppers are used to make spicy flavors in the city, and Lin Yu has long forgotten the taste of cornel seasoning in her childhood.

However, at this very moment, the familiar and wonderful taste in the mouth, pungent but not spicy, spicy but not dry, swayed in the mouth, it was so delicious, it instantly brought back the sad past, and Lin Yu couldn't help crying.

The mother's death was purely accidental, so she shifted the responsibility to Zhuyu. She has been brooding about it all these years, and has been avoiding it. Lin Yu now thinks about it, and feels that she is too stupid and ridiculous.

If the mother who loves cornel seasoning has a soul in heaven, she would not want to see herself in such pain and unable to let go.

Lin Yu touched the tears at the corners of her eyes, picked up a small cutter, and continued to cut several slices of special cold cucumbers, and ate them in big mouthfuls. She ate very deliciously and was very happy.

The smell that I was familiar with when I was a child is also the smell that my mother obsessed with during her lifetime, so I have no reason to abandon it.

This taste of happiness should be persisted!
