Luna quickly retracted her gaze. It was impolite to stare at others while eating. She looked at the tofu pudding in front of her, and scooped up a spoonful expectantly. The spoon felt as if it had cut through water, and there was no resistance at all. The white and tender piece of tofu pudding swayed slightly in the spoon. There was a layer of orange-red sauce on the surface, and the topmost layer was decorated with some pickles and a small shrimp.
"It's so cute." Luna's eyes lit up. The small shrimps should be dried. They were stained with a little sauce, but they still looked crystal clear, as if they had just been fished out from the sea. The chopped pickled vegetables were sprinkled on top, exuding a faint salty aroma. Just smelling the aroma made her salivate.
"Teacher Luna, the savory tofu pudding is super delicious," Amy said to Luna with Ugly Duckling in her arms with a smile.
"Mm-hmm." Luna nodded. She raised her hand in front of her mouth and gracefully put the tofu pudding into her mouth. Her eyes lit up immediately.
The slightly salty tofu pudding melted as soon as it entered his mouth. It was softer than the egg wrapped around the Yangzhou fried rice, but it didn't feel like water at all. The tofu pudding slid down his tongue, and the salty taste of the pickled vegetables melted perfectly into his mouth. That tiny shrimp seemed to contain the freshness of the ocean.
What kind of feeling was this? It was like stepping on the clouds and then falling into the soft clouds all of a sudden. Like a child, he was laughing and playing wantonly inside. Suddenly, a wave rolled up and gently patted his face, full of refreshment and comfort.
"Gulp …" Luna swallowed it with her eyes still closed. She carefully savored the faint bean aroma flowing between her lips and teeth, and a joyful smile appeared on her face.
This taste reminded her of her childhood. Although she was with her children every day and looked at their innocent smiles, it seemed that she hadn't laughed so freely in a long time.
"I wonder if those childhood friends of mine are doing well now. It's been three years. It's time to go home for Peace Memorial Day this year. " Luna opened her eyes and scooped another spoonful into her mouth. This time, she didn't cover it with her hand and continued to eat slowly. She sank into her memories and a faint smile hung on her lips.
Sally glanced at Luna before looking at the tofu pudding in front of her. It looked like egg custard, but it was more springy than egg custard. She dug into the tofu pudding that was covered by the golden-red syrup. The cut was as white as jade, but it was soon covered by the sticky syrup. The tofu pudding that was wrapped in the crystal-clear syrup swayed slightly in the spoon, looking like an exquisite piece of art.
"It's sweet with a hint of floral fragrance. There really is honey in the syrup." Sally was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but feed it into her mouth.
Like snow that had just fallen in winter, the sweet and tender tofu pudding melted in her mouth, but it was different from the icy coldness of snow. The sweetness of the syrup and the aroma of the beans fused together perfectly, and the syrup that enveloped the tofu pudding was so rich and sweet that her brows immediately relaxed.
It did indeed taste like honey, but it was sweeter than honey. It had probably been boiled with sugar. It wasn't as greasy as normal syrup, and it had a hint of honey fragrance. It tasted even better, and it was the taste that she liked.
There was a Hundred Flowers Valley in The Wind Forest. The climate was warm, and the flowers were blooming all year round. There were many bees here, and when she was bored, she liked to search for beehives near the Hundred Flowers Valley. The honey from the Hundred Flowers Valley was sweeter and more delicious than the honey from other places.
Princess Irina was the one who taught her how to raid beehives. At the time, she was still young and often followed the princess around. In her eyes, the princess was omnipotent. She was the prettiest and the most proficient in magic. She would take them to raid beehives to get delicious honey and steal the spirit fruits that the elders planted.
Later, she was going to go to Rodu with a delegation, and before she left, she told them that she wanted to leave something on the most famous Magus Tower on the continent. No one believed her, and when the princess returned, she was grounded by the queen for half a month, saying that she had written a line of words on the Magus Tower.
However, this became a feat in everyone's hearts. Although the Magus Tower was in Rodu, it was a place that all magic casters on the Norland Continent yearned to visit. Even the elven magic casters had to admit that, but the princess really did leave a line on it.
A few years later, the princess left home with a dozen or so dragon coins, and left a letter. She left for more than a decade, and the elven race would receive news about her from time to time. Sometimes, she would appear in the Twilight Forest of the orcs, sometimes on the Demon Islands, and in a few months, on Giant Dragon Island. Her footprints were all over the continent, and she became the idol of the younger generation of the elven race.
Sally also admired her a lot. She felt that she had lived a life of freedom and the way life should be. Her proud appearance was enviable.
Until three years ago, she came back. It seemed that the queen had brought her back in person. After that, she stayed in the cave where the holy tree was, and never showed her face.
No one knew what had happened. Apart from her maid, Firis, she didn't see anyone. It was as if she had become a different person.
Of course, there were many times in the past when she was alone with the holy tree. Ever since she was born, she was the only one in the entire elven race who was close to the holy tree.
Sally hadn't seen her in a long time. She had left home because she was forced to get married, and she had only brought a dozen dragon coins with her. She wanted to emulate Sally's heroism, so she left all the jewelry she had on her, which could have been exchanged for countless gold coins, in her dressing table before leaving the house.
She didn't think that she had overestimated her ability. She had only just arrived at Chaos City, and she already had to struggle for days just to have a good meal. The princess definitely wouldn't have been so cowardly in the past.
"However, could it be that Hundred Flower Honey was added here as well? Why does it taste so familiar? " Sally shook her head to get rid of the messy thoughts in her head. She tasted it carefully for a while, and a puzzled look appeared on her face.
It tasted a little like the honey she had eaten in the Hundred Flower Valley, but she was 100% sure that no human could go there to collect honey. Other than her, few elves would do such a thing, let alone collect honey and sell it.
Maybe it's Hundred Flower Honey from other places. The owner is very careful with the ingredients. The ingredients are very special, and they have some special effects. Sally scooped another spoonful, and tasted it carefully. The sweet and wonderful taste made her feel happy. The happiest time since she left home was when she had a plate of Yangzhou fried rice in this restaurant, and today.
Food was indeed the easiest thing to make people happy.
"Beautiful big sister elf, isn't the sweet tofu pudding delicious?" Amy's voice sounded, and she asked with a smile.
Sally turned to look at her, and she suddenly faltered slightly at the sight of the smile on her face. In her daze, she suddenly realized why she felt a sense of familiarity toward Amy. Amy wasn't a little girl from the elven tribe. She was Princess Irina when she was young, and she was just as black-tongued and liked to give others nicknames.
At that time, she also had a special nickname, Slug.
I'm also a beautiful little fairy!
She has been working very hard to update her novel. She spends more than 12 hours in front of the computer every day, trying to write a story that satisfies her and everyone else's expectations.
Although it seems like she has been writing tofu pudding all this time, she is actually interspersing the plot, foreshadowing, and story. It may seem slow, but I believe that it will bring a different feeling to everyone once it is released.
