The term "snacks" became familiar to the Xiang family after Kagawa made rice flour cakes. According to ancient explanations, non-dinner foods can basically be regarded as snacks, such as the previous yam cakes and the later light cakes. Cream cake. According to ancient customs, "snacks" are eaten around three o'clock in the afternoon, but the family is either at work or at school at this time, so it is changed to after dinner.
I'm so full after dinner, can I still have some snacks?
This was what Xiangchuan thought in his mind yesterday when he watched everyone at the dinner table finish a whole bowl of gnocchi and pancakes.
But at this time one hour after dinner last night, his father and Xiangqi were watching movies and TV series in the entertainment room. It happened that the 11th episode had just finished, and Xiangchuan asked the servant to take out the fruit cake made in the morning from the refrigerator. Looking at the cake, which was almost as wide as a coffee table in diameter, Xiangchuan was still thinking about whether to save half of it until tomorrow and let Xiangxue take it to school as a snack during the afternoon recess.
As a result, less than a quarter of the cake that was visually estimated to be about twelve inches was left in the end. Xiangchuan stared at his mother and Xiangxue with wide eyes. Most of the three-quarters of the cake that had been wiped out was unknowingly It was eaten by two people.
"Sister, you eat so slowly. If you don't eat faster, I will eat it."
At that time, Xiangxue saw Xiangchuan holding a fork and looking at her motionless. He thought she was in a daze, so he urged her to eat quickly and couldn't help but look at the remaining cake.
"I'll save it for tomorrow morning."
Kagawa couldn't help but ask the servant to put the remaining cake on a small plate and send it to the refrigerator.
Why are my mother and sister so good at eating? !
After eating three pieces, she felt that her belly was almost full!
Is this what the legendary "woman holds dessert in the other stomach"? !
Kagawa, who only treats sweets as an occasional indulgence, feels that he has opened a huge door for his family.
After yesterday's "frightening" experience, Xiangchuan prepared more snacks than usual today. First, because there was an extra guest at home. Although I don't know if Qiu Manman used another stomach like her mother and others. Type of sweets, but it’s always good to prepare more. Secondly, because she walked around the school all afternoon and secretly took note of the decoration and equipment of many club activity rooms, which was a bit taxing, and she wanted to eat something sweet.
So when I was making dinner today, I asked the kitchen AI to prepare (by visual inspection) a twelve-inch fruit cake and twenty-four cups of pudding, plus two large jugs of freshly squeezed apple juice.
Asking the servant to send half to the male group in the living room, she took the other split servant and joined everyone in the entertainment room.
The small porcelain bowl of pudding was placed upside down on several large plates. Xiangxue touched it with a fork curiously, making a sound of iron and porcelain clinking.
"Sister, is this really edible? It looks like a bowl."
"I'm not asking you to eat this bowl, I'm asking you to eat what's in the bowl."
Xiangchuan said with shame.
As she said that, she gently lifted the small porcelain bowl. Before bringing it to the entertainment room, Xiangchuan also put the pudding in the refrigerator to chill it for a while. The temperature dropped and the egg liquid solidified further, so the small porcelain bowl felt a little cold to the touch.
As the small porcelain bowl was slowly lifted, the golden pudding hidden in the bowl was gradually revealed. Everyone, including the audience across the screen in the live broadcast room, held their breath.
Is this...food?
Under the porcelain bowl is a semicircular sphere, but it seems to be swaying like a semi-solidified liquid. There is a light brown covering on the top surface of the semicircle, and some liquid follows the curvature of the sphere. flowed down.
What's this?
Everyone was stunned.
If the large and small food that Kagawa served before can be called "solid food" or "solid food mixed with liquid". Then this can't be called a solid at all, it can only be a liquid, but compared to a solid it looks fluid, and compared to a liquid it has a stability similar to a solid.
Some parents in the audience touched their chins: it looked a bit like glue. But Kagawa used a small spoon to dig out a beautiful arc, which was safe and not sticky like glue.
"Servant, please pick up the other bowls. Everyone, try it. This is the new snack I made today, called pudding."
pudding?
The younger audience members recited it silently in their hearts several times and found it quite cute.
I saw Kagawa put the spoonful of pudding into his mouth, and gently lifted the spoon, and the pudding slipped into his mouth. The pudding had just been made, not to mention the pudding made by steaming over water. It was very soft and tender, and it was not chewed yet. After two careful bites, the pudding slipped into your throat.
Xiangchuan nodded: Yes, as she thought, it tastes better after being chilled in the refrigerator for a while than when it was freshly cooked.
Little did they know that this action shocked everyone: swallowed it directly? ! No need to chew? !
Xiangxue couldn't help it at first. She picked up a small plate of pudding and smelled it. It seemed that there was a bitter fragrance...?
She tilted her head: Are there any bitter foods in ancient "dim sum"? The ancients were so strange.
Xiangxue didn't like bitter things, but her intuition told her that Xiangchuan would not cook anything she didn't like, so Xiangxue picked up the spoon, scooped out a small spoonful, and put it in her mouth.
The moment the pudding entered her mouth, the tender and soft texture and the sweet aroma of eggs and milk were instantly captured by her tongue. She opened her eyes wide and swallowed subconsciously. The pudding slipped directly into her throat, leaving only a little sweet aftertaste in her mouth. .
ah? She hasn't tasted it yet!
Angry, Xiangxue took another spoonful, this time digging into the caramelized part. At the first bite, she guessed that the bitter taste came from the brown surface. Although she was afraid of the bitterness, Xiangxue still Choose to trust your gut.
When the caramel accompanies the pudding, it does not have the bitterness that Xiangxue expected from taking medicine. The sweetness of the pudding itself neutralizes the bitterness, and the bitterness supports the sweetness of the custard pudding. If you taste it carefully, you can find that there are also differences in the brown surface. Such sweetness.
The second mouthful of Xiangxue was held in my mouth, and it slid down my stomach within five seconds of savoring it. Then the third spoonful, the fourth spoonful...
After finishing the plate of pudding, Xiangxue came back to her senses.
She immediately threw down her spoon and plate and approached Xiangchuan: "Sister! This! This is so delicious! How could there be such a snack!"
Xiangxue was so excited and slurred her words that the live broadcast room went crazy. Especially the female viewers were aroused. Some of them were Xiangxue's classmates. They had tasted the sugar triangle during the day and were immediately attracted by the sweetness. The sweet buns were captured. When they learned from Xiangxue that the snacks at Xiang's house were sweeter and more delicious than the sweet buns, everyone was eager to go to Xiangxue's house to eat.
Now, there is a pudding that makes Xiangxue, who can control herself even when faced with cream cakes, can't help but beam with joy. How can the audience hold back!
[Xiaoxue, please bring some to school tomorrow. I’ll just try one. 】
[You are so greedy above, I only want one bite, one bite! 】
[Xiaoxue, let me have a taste and I will take notes for you all day tomorrow! 】
[Son, if you can bring a copy back tomorrow, I will buy you the latest terminal auxiliary machine. 】
There are a lot of people begging Xiangxue to bring Pudding to school. If you look carefully, you can find some different comments.
[Sister Xiaoxue, ask your sister to bring some copies to school tomorrow! 】
[Kagawa, can you see it? I’ll bring it to everyone to try tomorrow! 】
Qiu Manman bit her spoon and glanced at the comment area of Xiangxue's live broadcast room. She felt ashamed when she saw the names displayed on the live broadcast side (the audience windows were all nicknames): Isn't that so and so from our class? Why are they also in the live broadcast room? inside.
But think about it, after all, they are all from the school affiliated with Demeter University, so the circle is so big.
