After tasting the dish "Moon Over the Qingming River", it was Li Qiang's turn to eat hailstones.
Li Qiang prepared three copies and placed them in front of Li Yu, Liao Lao and Qu Rongjie respectively.
Li Yu picked up the spoon and looked at the brightly colored hail in front of him, exuding bursts of fruity aroma and a hint of coolness.
Ice cubes are so precious. Even in the palace, they are rarely used at this time. My father will only take some out and give them to the concubines in the harem to cool down in the hot dog days of summer. They are rarely used to make food, let alone eat them directly.
.
Li Yu dug out a spoonful and found that the ice cubes were much softer than he expected. It was more like soft snow than ice cubes.
The ice inside is colored by the jam that is poured over it, making it eye-catching.
Open your mouth and hold the spoon in your mouth. As soon as you enter the mouth, you can feel a cold breath filling your mouth, and a stream of coolness pouring into your nose, which makes people's spirits up.
Then comes the sweetness of the jam, chew it carefully, and the smoothie pops in your mouth, mixed with the soft glutinousness of the red beans and the elasticity of the taro balls. For a moment, it feels like you are floating in the water in the hot season of dog days.
, mixed with various fruits, washed over the whole body with a huge wave.
After eating it in one bite, I exhaled a breath of cold air, feeling extremely comfortable in my mouth!
"How does it taste?" Mr. Liao asked, looking at Li Yu who was the first to taste it.
Li Yu didn't speak, and then took another bite. The fruity and cold taste filled his mouth and nose, which made him obsessed!
There is no ice here, it is simply a wonderful experience like a fairy!
Seeing that Li Yu was eating so selflessly, Mr. Liao also took a bite. When it went into his throat, it was so cold that the flesh on his face trembled.
Then the expression on his face became weird, and then he took another spoonful, and then he opened his mouth and let out a cool breath.
"Cool!"
"Is it that exaggerated?" Qu Linjie looked at the shaved ice in front of him, picked up a spoonful and put it into his mouth.
Then, just like Mr. Liao, with a strange expression, he picked it up and took another bite.
After a while, the bottom of the bowl was gone.
"Is this thing called shaved ice so delicious?"
"It's just a bowl of ice cubes. It's too exaggerated!"
"But, it looks delicious!"
"If only we could have a taste!"
"Now is it time to choose the winner?"
Li Yu chose Li Qiang's shaved ice to win, and Qu Linjie chose Dongmenyan's Qingming River to win.
The final decision is in the hands of Mr. Liao.
The diners all looked towards Mr. Liao, and saw Mr. Liao standing up, looking at Dongmen Yan and then at Li Qiang, saying: "I have decided to abstain! Therefore, this competition is a draw!"
"What, it's actually a draw!"
"Can a bowl of crushed ice tie with Mr. Dongmen's 'Moon Over the Qingming River'? This is too hasty!"
"Look, the young master who ranks first among the judges is always wearing a mask. I think he may be someone bribed by the Food God Hall!"
"Being able to come with Mr. Lia means that this person has an extraordinary status. He shouldn't be bribed, right?"
Just when everyone was holding their own opinions, Xia Jin came out, cupped his hands and said:
"It is an honor for the Food God Hall to reach a tie with Mr. Dongmen today! Therefore, the Food God Hall has decided to give everyone a bowl of shaved ice for free! Starting tomorrow, shaved ice will become Liqiang's main delicacy and will be sold at the Food God Hall all year round!
"
Li Qiang went to get some shaved ice and gave one to each of the diners one by one. Dongmen Yan also got one.
He took a taste, his eyes lit up, and he chuckled.
"It's quite interesting!"
"Master Dongmen, I have said before that the Food God Hall cheated. Now you have seen it! It must have been bribed by Xia Jin, otherwise it would not be a draw!" Qu Linjie came to Dongmenyan and whispered.
.
Dongmen Yan looked at the surprise on the faces of the diners and the way Li Qiang was seriously making shaved ice. Then he looked at Qu Rongjie, who was standing next to him with a sinister look on his face. He suddenly felt that his appetite had gone away.
"When you ate the shaved ice just now, did you think it was delicious?" Dongmenyan asked.
"It tastes too bad, it's just some crushed ice cubes!" Qu Linjie said disparagingly.
Dongmen Yan frowned. It was rumored that the number one son in the capital had both political integrity and talent, but now he looked like a shameless villain who told lies with his eyes open!
It wasn't delicious, but he ate all the dregs of his portion, and he secretly licked up the remaining bits of jam with his tongue.
Just like that, he could still say slanderous words, which made Dongmenyan start to doubt whether what he said before was true or false.
Looking at Xia Jin again, she did not forget to promote shaved ice during the competition, and also spread the reputation of her apprentice to build momentum for the new recipe of the Food God Hall.
He even began to suspect that she deliberately took part in this competition to promote her Food God Hall.
Feeling his gaze, Xia Jin looked towards him and said: "Master Dongmen, go up to the second floor and let's have a good talk!"
"Please!" Xia Jin made a gesture of invitation.
Now that she knew that Dongmen Yan was here to investigate the cause of Dongmen Qian's death, Xia Jin had no reason to let Qu Linjie throw dirty water on her while she did nothing.
This is not her way of doing things!
Dong Menyan walked up to the second floor, followed closely by Xia Jin.
Seeing the two of them going up to talk secretly, Qu Rongjie couldn't sit still!
If Xia Jin tells everything, he will definitely die!
