The tofu pudding was still steaming hot, and there were two small white ceramic bowls with a white spoon beside them.
"This is!" Crassus's eyes lit up as he looked at the small bowls in front of him.
The faint aroma of tofu pudding wafted into his nose. It was the aroma of crushed soybeans.
What surprised him even more was the thing in the bowl. It was square and white, and there was a layer of reddish-golden syrup on top. It looked like a pure white jade wrapped in amber, but it shook a little when it was put down, so it looked very elastic.
The aroma of the hot syrup mixed with the aroma of the soybeans made him feel the sweetness in his mouth even before he tasted it. For someone who loved desserts, it was simply too tempting.
"Hmph, it's so sweet. Aren't you afraid of being sick of it?" Julian pursed his lips, and his eyes also lit up as he looked at the tofu pudding in front of him.
The same square and white tofu pudding was placed in a small bowl, and there were chopped pickled vegetables and other side dishes on top. A spoonful of reddish-orange sauce was poured over the tofu pudding, and the aroma of the sauce and side dishes mixed with the aroma of the soybeans wafted into his nose. It was simply too tempting.
"It's salty, but it looks very appetizing. It should be delicious," Julian thought to himself, and he was also looking forward to it.
The two of them picked up their spoons at almost the same time and put a spoonful into their mouths.
Meg, Amy, and Yabemiya all stood quietly off to the side, looking at the two of them with curiosity. They wanted to know which flavor of tofu pudding tasted better to them.
"Hmm! This taste! " Crassus' eyes widened. The tofu pudding wrapped in a layer of syrup melted in his mouth. The soft and fragrant tofu pudding paired with the sweet syrup was different from the usual sticky syrup. This reddish-golden syrup was sweet but not greasy, and it didn't cover up the natural aroma of the tofu pudding either.
He swallowed it down his throat, and there was still a faint aroma of soybeans lingering in his mouth. There was a hint of sweetness, and there was a rich aftertaste.
"This is made from soybeans, right? But how can soybeans be made to be so soft and tender? I don't even need to chew; it melts in my mouth! And this syrup is very special. Even though it's sweet, it doesn't feel greasy at all. After swallowing it, I actually feel quite refreshed. " Crassus looked at Meg with countless questions in his mind. He couldn't stop eating, and he just couldn't get tired of it.
"It's delicious! How could there be such delicious food in this world?! Urien stared at the empty spoon in front of him, completely rooted to the spot.
The white and tender tofu pudding was wrapped in reddish-orange syrup, and there was a bit of chopped pickled mustard on top. When he put it into his mouth, it melted without chewing. The sweet tofu pudding, the savory pickled mustard, and the syrup blended together perfectly, stimulating his taste buds. It was as if every grain was jumping for joy. After swallowing it, there was a faint bean aroma in his mouth, and he felt refreshed.
Crassus had eaten Yangzhou fried rice many times in the past, and he was looking forward to the tofu pudding. However, today was Julian's first time in the restaurant, and it was his first time tasting Meg's food. The impact was so great that he couldn't help but put another spoonful into his mouth, and a joyful smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
"It seems that everyone is quite satisfied." A smile also appeared on Mag's face. The smiles on Krassu's and Urien's faces weren't fake at all. Seeing that his food was being recognized and brought joy to his customers, his mood also improved.
"Ding!"
"Dang!"
Crassus and Julian finished their bowls of tofu pudding at almost the same time. They looked at the empty bowls in front of them, and their expressions were as if they hadn't had enough.
"Boss, another bowl of savory tofu pudding. It's so delicious!" Julian put down the spoon in his hand, and looked at Meg with a slightly excited expression.
"Sweet tofu pudding is the best!" Crassus glanced at Julian, and then looked at Meg. "Mr. Mak, can I have another bowl of sweet tofu pudding as well? I'll pay for it. Just name a price. "
"What's so good about sweet tofu pudding? You're not a child. You're over a hundred years old, and you still like sweet tofu pudding." Julian looked at Crassus with undisguised disdain.
"What's so good about savory tofu pudding? Savory tofu pudding goes best with sweet tofu pudding. A heretic like you should be roasted over a fire. You can't even understand the feeling of sweet tofu pudding sliding down your throat." Crassus held his magic caster's staff, and glared at Julian. Specks of red light condensed on his magic caster's staff, and it looked like he was really angry.
"Bullsh * t! Your sweet tofu pudding is the heretic. Savory tofu pudding is the true flavor. You can't even imagine how delicious tofu pudding with sauce and chopped up with all kinds of side dishes will be. " Julian's voice also rose a few octaves. Frost appeared under his feet again, and the temperature around him dropped a few notches.
"I'm sorry, tofu pudding isn't officially on sale today, and I didn't plan to try it, so I don't have a second bowl." Meg had a strange expression on his face as he looked at the two people who were about to fight to the death over a bowl of tofu pudding. This was probably the first battle between sweet and savory in this alternate world.
He didn't expect that the two of them, who had come for Amy, would divert their attention over a bowl of tofu pudding. In his previous life, the battle between sweet and savory basically existed on all kinds of forums and Weibo, and the keyboard was the only weapon. No matter how fierce the argument was, it wasn't to the point of actually fighting.
However, the situation was different now. Crassus and Julian were arguing, and it looked like they were about to fight to prove their favorite tofu pudding's name.
"Sweet tofu pudding … is delicious," Yabemiya murmured softly, and only she could hear her own voice.
"It's so delicious, so why are they fighting over it?" Amy looked at the two of them with a conflicted expression on her little face. She was a little puzzled.
"Nothing else?" Crassus and Julian were a little disappointed when they heard that. The two of them looked at each other at the same time, and they both looked a little angry.
The anger that had been building up over fighting for a disciple finally exploded after a bowl of tofu pudding fermented it.
"Julian, you heretic, I've been annoyed with you for a long time. Let's fight fair and square! See if I don't break your skull! "Crassus stood up with the help of his magic caster's staff, and glared at Julian.
"Hmph! Crassus, do you think I'm afraid of you? I'm going to freeze you and throw you into the moat to feed the fishes! "Julian also stood up with a hoarse voice, and his expression was a little gloomy.
"So, you two are going to fight over which one is better?" Amy asked curiously as she looked at the two of them.
After a pause, she clapped her little hands and said, "Then hurry up and start. It's fine as long as you don't fight in the restaurant!"
Originally, I said I would update 10 chapters, but I cultivated too late last night, and I've been sleepy since I started writing tonight. After writing this chapter, I feel like I'm going to heaven. I have to go to bed ~ Sorry, I'll owe you 10 chapters first. I'll pay you back in two days … Sorry.
9 chapters was my limit. I left on the 23rd. Recently, I've been in Chengdu, and most of the time, I've been staying in the hotel to write. I'll go home in a few days and settle down. Tomorrow morning's update will probably be late, so I'll update after waking up.
