She definitely had to try. Even if Manman didn't say anything, Lillian couldn't control the primitive power in her body. Mung bean cakes were the type that smelled better the more one smelled them.
It wasn't strong, but it was hard to ignore. Even if it wasn't the main character, it was still a heavyweight supporting character.
Lillian couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, so she directly picked up the cakes with her hands. Her hands were fair and slender, and her nails were dyed with bright red nail polish, which made her fingers look even whiter and more delicate. The light yellow mung bean cake and her fair fingers were a striking contrast.
The moment she touched it, Lilian knew that there was indeed no comparison. Previously, when she ate the mung bean cake, she also used her hands to hold it. It was slightly dry and not very comfortable, unlike now, when she touched it, it felt warm and delicate.
Lillian was definitely comparing the texture of the two mung bean cakes, and definitely not because it was more convenient to hold it with her hands.
She put it in her mouth, and with a light bite, a piece of the soft and fragrant mung bean cake was bitten off. It had a delicate and dense texture and a rustling feeling, as if she was eating the soft mung bean with every bite. The faint fragrance of flour mixed with the taste of the slightly sweet mung bean was refreshing and natural.
Logically speaking, mung bean cakes were the most refreshing and heat-relieving when eaten in summer, but at this moment, sitting in a restaurant with a suitable temperature and carefully tasting a piece of mung bean cake, the elegant aroma was simply irresistible. Unlike the cool feeling of eating it in summer, it felt warmer because it was eaten hot.
It was sweet and glutinous, and the taste was mellow and natural. Lillian's eyes lit up from the first bite. She finished one piece in two or three bites, and then picked up another piece. Perhaps she felt that one hand wasn't enough, so she directly picked up a piece with both hands. When the left hand finished eating the cake with the right hand, she immediately grabbed another piece with her left hand.
Judging from Lillian's posture while eating the cakes, Old Urchin's left and right hand fighting was no problem at all. She was definitely a talented person.
This wasn't the first time that Manman had eaten the mung bean cakes made by Yuan Zhou. There was a huge difference between the mung bean cakes. Every famous mung bean cake was made with different ingredients and proportions, so it was also her first time eating these Min style mung bean cakes.
If it weren't for the fact that Lillian wanted to have a clear idea of the overall taste of Yuan Zhou's food, Manman could eat one more piece than Lillian.
After Lillian ate three to four pieces, Manman began to dig in. There were only eight pieces on the plate, and if she didn't eat soon, there would be no more.
When it entered the mouth, it was sweet, smooth, warm, and pleasing to the palate. It didn't feel dry at all, nor did it feel oily. It was just right, sweet, and soft. Man Man also liked this taste very much.
After finishing the mung bean cake, Lillian didn't stop and immediately set her eyes on the emerald green and lifelike Longjing Tea Cakes.
Frankly speaking, Lillian was better at speaking Chinese, but she didn't understand much about Chinese culture. That was why she didn't know that the Longjing Tea Crisp looked like a smear of fresh green tea leaves. However, that didn't stop her from thinking that the Longjing Tea Crisp looked beautiful.
Although they were called Longjing Tea Cakes, they weren't made entirely of tea. Even though they smelled like a lingering tea fragrance, their green color was dyed with spinach juice.
He didn't know if it was because of the oil temperature or the color ratio, but it looked like spring tea Longjing. It was very beautiful.
"Hmm, it smells so good. It seems to be the tea you people like to drink here. But I don't like to drink tea. It's too bitter."
Lillian stuck out her tongue slightly, as though recalling the time when she tried the taste of brewed tea out of curiosity. Honestly, she wasn't used to it.
Coffee was bitter too, but sugar could be added to taste it. The bitterness of tea leaves seemed to be rooted in the bones of every tiny tea leaf. Although the person who introduced it said that tea leaves had a sweet aftertaste, Lillian didn't notice any sweetness.
However, Lilian didn't notice any sweetness. The bitterness was real. Now that she smelled the faint aroma of the Longjing Tea Crisp, she was reminded of the bitterness of tea leaves.
"You can try it. It's fundamentally different from tea leaves," Manman said without explaining.
She hadn't tried the Longjing Tea Cakes made by Yuan Zhou, but Yuan Zhou's signature was that he never made anything bad, so she wasn't worried at all.
Lillian recalled the taste of the mung bean cake and picked up a piece of Longjing Tea Cake without hesitation.
If the mung bean cake was warm to the touch, then the Longjing Tea Cake was slightly scalding. When her fingers came into contact with the cake, there seemed to be some crisp sizzling sounds.
The slightly scalding temperature didn't make her feel uncomfortable or difficult to pick up. Instead, before the temperature entered her mouth, it slowly spread through her skin.
Kacha.
It was a pastry pastry. When she took the first bite, the sound was crisp. Not only was the sound crisp, but the skin was also very crispy. There was no moisture, as though all the moisture had been taken away by the oil, leaving only a crisp, dry fragrance.
Unlike ordinary dryness, this dryness was the result of the blending of flour and oil. It was crispy and tasty.
The first bite was more delicate, so he didn't get to eat the stuffing inside. Only when he took the second bite did he taste the stuffing. Unlike the crispy outer surface, the stuffing inside was soft and silky, with a faint tea aroma. There wasn't the bitterness of tea leaves, only a slightly sweet fragrance.
This was the first time Lilian clearly sensed that the tea leaves tasted just like what her friend had described, with a slight sweet aftertaste.
As a tea dessert, Longjing Tea Cake was eaten with tea. In addition, it was fried at low temperature, so the traditional tea cake was slightly greasy, which just happened to combine the heavy bitterness of the tea leaves.
Yuan Zhou's tea didn't have such a feeling. Not only because of the perfect control of the heat during frying, but also because of Yuan Zhou's control of the proportion, the Longjing Tea Cake was just right. A little more would be too much, and a little less would be slightly dry.
When Lillian ate the Longjing Tea Cake, she thought that she ate two more pieces of mung bean cake and Manman only ate two pieces. When it was time for the tea cake, she would eat a little less. At least, it would be a fair distribution of half. This way, she wouldn't be too embarrassed, and she could also eat more snacks in the future.
After eating it, all the ideas and plans in his mind were scattered by the tea cake. As long as he ate it, it was a skill. It didn't matter if he ate a lot or a little. Eating a lot was a skill, and eating a little was an accident.
This was because the Longjing Tea Crispy was not small. At least, it was bigger than the mung bean cake. It was impossible to eat it in two bites like the mung bean cake just now. This tea crispy would take at least four to five bites to finish.
In order to finish one piece as soon as possible, Lillian also worked very hard. If she could finish it in four bites, she wouldn't use five. Of course, while eating quickly, she also had to ensure that she could taste the taste perfectly. Otherwise, it would be like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. That would be meaningless and not her original intention.
