After welcoming Liang Gong's "good start", the subsequent assessment fell into an unexpected deadlock. Not to mention three drinks, more than 30 people in a row couldn't even taste the first drink.
Classmate A: "What is this? I've never tasted it."
Kagawa: Directly unqualified.
Classmate B: "It's a little sour, is it vinegar?"
Kagawa: I know some taste, but it’s not up to standard.
Classmate C: "Xiagawa, you won't embarrass us with the new liquid food your father is developing, right?"
Kagawa: My dad is still asking me for the recipe, which is not up to standard.
Classmate D: "I don't drink it. Who knows if you put anything weird in it? Show me the ingredient list."
Kagawa: After reading the ingredients, won’t I tell you everything? Unqualified.
Ouyang Yating's bestie: "Xiangchuan, this is delicious. I can come to the activity room to try it next time."
Xiangchuan: "...I'll think about it." I suspect that this person is just here to eat and drink and is not qualified.
Class monitor Lu Daiqing: "Xiangchuan, the teacher just contacted me and asked me to take the cake you just handed out to him to try. Do you still have it here?"
Kagawa: "...I'll let Xiaoxing No. 2 bring it to you. Do you want a food box?" This person is just here to eat and drink, so he is not qualified.
Seeing Kagawa's eyes change from full of expectation at the beginning to a smile without a smile, and finally to the dead look in his eyes like this, Liang Gong, who was helping to change straws and refill drinks, was also worried.
"well………………"
When the fortieth person left the light wall in despair, Xiangchuan let out the biggest sigh in the past ten days. She looked at Liang Gong with a melancholy expression, which made Liang Gong feel a little scared.
Sure enough, it is normal for modern people to know nothing about fruits and vegetables in general. It is only accidental that people like Liang Gong can accurately taste the taste.
After picking up his own water bottle and taking a long sip of fruit milk, Xiangchuan adjusted his mentality.
——Don’t expect too much from modern people! Being able to name one is a win! If you can name two, it’s a victory!
With these words in his mind, Xiangchuan opened the terminal's communication and gave the Haixing servant a new instruction: "Xiaoxing 2, let the next classmate come in."
After a while, I saw a figure on the light wall, but the other person seemed to have some ink marks.
"...Nancy, I said I'm still thinking about it, wow!"
The other party stumbled and almost fell down, but fortunately the Haixing servant next to him helped to hold him on.
"Are you okay, classmate Ouyang Yating?" Liang Gong asked with concern.
That's right, the one who was pushed in by people outside the wall to participate in the review was Ouyang Yating.
She felt a little embarrassed when she saw Liang Gong and Kagawa standing blankly behind the table. She coughed twice, fixed her somewhat messy dark brown hair, and sat on the chair.
Kagawa repeated the assessment process mechanically, looking curiously at the girl sitting on his left but rarely talking to her. After Ouyang Yating listened to the rules, she frowned and stared at the cup. Naturally, there was nothing visible on the sealed cup. Just when Xiangchuan thought that the serious-looking classmate sitting next to him would complain unbearably that this assessment form was too unsafe, Ouyang Yating suddenly bit down on the straw and took a sip, leaving Xiangchuan stunned.
After tasting the sweet liquid on her tongue, Ouyang Yating couldn't help but open her eyes wide and swallowed the liquid subconsciously. The sweet and mellow smell was fascinating. And this sweet taste is familiar to her.
"...Apple and...Sorry, I can't taste the rest."
Ouyang Yating frowned unwillingly. When she raised her head, what she saw was not the comforting giggle of Xiangchuan as expected, but the wide-eyed surprised expressions of her and Liang Gong beside her.
Xiangchuan was the first to react, and it took her almost less than 0.2 seconds to hand over the second cup.
"......Second question."
Like a person who feels dizzy when he suddenly stands up after sitting for a long time, Kagawa's mind went blank for a long time before he said this.
There was nothing she could do about it. After watching forty contestants with zero scores in a row, one suddenly appeared who could pass the passing mark. How could she not be surprised?
"tangerine."
The second cup diluted the sense of refreshing world view brought by the first cup, and Ouyang Yating's judgment was much faster.
"Question three."
Kagawa served the third cup.
"Peach, with pulp."
All right.
Kagawa and Liang Gong looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Congratulations, Ouyang Yating, welcome to join our ancient food club!"
Kagawa couldn't help but jump up at the end of her words of congratulations, and she stretched out her right hand.
However, the other party did not extend his hand, and there was no expression of surprise or happiness on his face, but a little confusion.
"Classmate Ouyang Yating?"
The other party's reaction made her a little confused.
"...Is that cake just now also made of fruit?"
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Yating asked a question that had nothing to do with the assessment.
"Huh? That one? It's a fruit cake. It's stuffed with... ah, you know the taste of fruit, can you taste it?"
"Is that Yuexiang's new product?"
"No, no, this is our family's snack...a food I made myself."
Kagawa laughed stupidly.
Ouyang Yating suddenly raised her head when she heard this, startling the two of them.
"Did you do this?"
"Yes, yes..."
"Will our club do these things in the future?"
"That's right. Are there any other ancient foods we can research besides making them ourselves?"
Ouyang Yating looked at the three cups on the table, recalling the mellow and sweet taste just now, and then looked at Kagawa and Liang Gong who were looking at her expectantly. Hesitantly, but straightly, she stretched out her hand.
"...Please give me your advice, Captain."
Ouyang Yating showed a rare smile, which had a different affinity from her usual aloofness, and stunned the two of them.
After getting the second member, although the remaining twenty people did not pass the review, it did not prevent Kagawa's mood from completely improving.
When the crowd dispersed, it was almost time for school to end. Xiangchuan directed the Haixing servants to clean the club activity room. Ouyang Yating and Liang Gong, who were new members of the club, helped rearrange the tables and chairs.
“I’ve never seen this style of tables and chairs before.”
Ouyang Yating touched the non-floating chair curiously.
"This, I asked the university engineering department to help me make this based on ancient styles." Xiangchuan patted the back of the chair, "Aren't you used to sitting?"
"No, the material is similar to an ordinary chair. It's not that I'm not used to it." Ouyang Yating moved the chair. The friction between the chair and the floor made a sound, which was a bit harsh, but it made her feel novel. She raised her head and looked at Xiangchuan and asked: "Captain, do you know much about ancient things?"
"Huh? Not really, that's what the turbulent flow of information I've come across records."
Kagawa suppressed his guilty feeling and repeated the lines he had said countless times.
"Hey, Captain, are you actually a contact person of information turbulence?"
Liang Gong said in surprise.
"Well, I probably came into contact with it last week..." Xiangchuan didn't really want to bring up this topic, so she quickly changed the direction of the topic, "By the way, can you guys stop calling me captain? It feels weird."
"But we are an ancient food society," Liang Gong and Ouyang Yating looked at each other, "What do you call us if you don't call us group leader?"
"Call...call it president!" Kagawa had an idea, "Besides, the ancient food club is too long, let's change its name."
"change name?"
The two were confused for the second time.
"It's called... it's called..." Xiangchuan thought for a while, and then thought of the "Tiangue" he had reviewed the night before he traveled through time. An idea flashed: "To taste all kinds of flavors with your tongue, let's call it the Tongue Club!"
As a result, the Tongue Club, which is famous in Demeter University Affiliated High School, was officially established on the premise that the founder did not want to be called the leader.
