The aroma materialized and instantly gushed out from the opening of the dumpling. Ji Chengxue slightly narrowed his eyes as the rich aroma instantly entered his nostrils and stimulated his taste buds.
The rainbow-like aroma appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly. By the time Ji Chengxue came back to his senses, the rainbow-colored aroma had already faded away.
After gently chewing for a while, a sense of happiness suddenly burst forth. The corners of Ji Chengxue's mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile as an uncontrollable joy emerged in his heart.
His mood was actually changed by the dumpling. After eating a mouthful of the dumpling, many emotions actually emerged in his heart. They were like the rainbow-colored rainbow, colorful and varied, and finally settled on joy.
Ji Chengxue was not surprised that the dumplings did not contain any spirit energy. Because the ingredients Bu Fang used were all ordinary ingredients and not spirit energy ingredients, it was not surprising that they did not contain any spirit energy. However … the texture of the dumpling skin did make Ji Chengxue exclaim in surprise.
The dumpling skin was soft, tender, and fragrant. It was as if the dumpling skin was extremely smooth in his mouth, like a gentle breeze blowing past …
Ji Chengxue could not help but swallow the remaining half of the dumpling into his mouth and happily savor it.
After swallowing the dumpling, Ji Chengxue picked up the blue and white porcelain bowl and blew on it. Then, he took a sip of the soup. The soup looked extremely clear, but it did not have the bland taste of boiling water. Instead, it was like a fresh seafood soup, overflowing with a rich aroma.
A mouthful of dumpling and a mouthful of soup. In this cold winter, it was simply enough to make one feel so happy that even their hearts were warm.
As Bu Fang placed the wrapped crescent moon dumplings into the wok, he quickly scooped up the floating dumplings. Each blue and white porcelain bowl was filled with two to three dumplings and sprinkled with a few chopped green onions. It was a simple and comfortable process.
The eunuchs served the Rainbow-colored Crescent Moon Dumplings to the officials in the imperial court so that they could also have a taste.
After everyone took a bite of the crescent moon dumpling, they were shocked by the substantial rainbow-colored aroma. The aroma that wafted into their faces dazzled them. It was simply … too beautiful.
Moreover, the taste of the dumplings was also beyond their expectations. It was so delicious that they almost swallowed their tongues. A blissful and joyous expression appeared on everyone's face.
It was truly a delicacy that could make one feel happy.
Finally, it was the turn of the commoners. These people were already a little impatient. When they saw the blissful expressions on the faces of the imperial court's officials, they could no longer hold back their cravings. What kind of delicacy could actually make people so happy?
All the commoners who received the Rainbow-colored Crescent Moon Dumplings could not wait to have a taste. After they took a bite, a rainbow-colored aroma wafted out and enveloped them.
A rich fragrance spread in all directions and floated in the air. Everyone could not help but take in a deep breath of the fragrance. The craving in their hearts was so strong that they could not control it.
A pair of commoners, an old married couple, took a bite of the dumpling and felt as though they had become much younger. A joyful expression appeared on their faces.
"Old woman, come and have a taste. This dish … is really delicious." The old man scooped up a white crescent moon dumpling with a spoon and handed it to an old lady beside him with a smile on his face.
The old lady immediately smiled shyly and rolled her eyes at the old man. However, she happily took a bite of the dumpling. A calm yet warm feeling arose in the hearts of the two old people.
. "Two white-haired old men ate the dumplings as happiness filled the air around them.
A young man ate a crescent moon dumpling. Beside him was his wife, who had been in a cold war recently. The two of them had a conflict over a small matter and were currently in a phase where neither of them cared about the other.
His wife's dumplings were not served, so she could only glance at her husband, who was happily eating, from time to time. Her heart was getting angrier.
Suddenly, a white porcelain spoon scooped up a steaming white dumpling and placed it in front of her, causing her to be slightly taken aback.
She turned her head and saw her husband looking at her with a gentle expression.
"Hehe, wife, come and have a bite. It's very delicious … This dish seems to have magic!" The husband said with a gentle smile. Then, he personally placed the dumpling next to his wife's mouth.
His wife, who was originally filled with anger, suddenly felt her resentment disappear. A blush appeared on her face as she shyly took a bite of the dumpling. The rainbow-colored aroma wafted out, causing his wife's face to be filled with intoxication.
"You wretch, there are so many people here! How embarrassing! " His wife ate half of the dumpling. When she saw her husband swallow the dumpling that she had taken a bite of, her face immediately became even redder. She pinched her husband's cheek and shyly said.
This scene continued to happen in the Gate of Heavenly Mystery Square. Every citizen who had tasted the rainbow-colored crescent moon dumpling was filled with joy. Even couples who had conflicts with each other had reconciled.
The charm of the dumplings made everyone exude a joyous mood, further enhancing the festive atmosphere.
"Why isn't it our turn yet?! It's too slow! "
Some of the more impatient citizens even left their seats and rushed toward the stove where Bu Fang was.
With someone taking the lead, many people followed suit and left their seats. The order of the scene suddenly became a little chaotic.
Bu Fang knitted his brows and expressionlessly looked at the group of people who were rushing toward his stove.
On the high platform, Ji Chengxue had already finished the three dumplings in his bowl. He even drank the soup without leaving a single drop. He put down the bowl and let out a long breath of hot air, feeling extremely satisfied.
"Stop them and make them sit obediently in their seats. Otherwise, they will all be disqualified and kicked out of the Gate of Heavenly Mystery." Ji Chengxue glanced at the somewhat chaotic situation below the square and calmly said to the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch accepted the order and left. Immediately, many armored guards entered the hall and rearranged the order.
The citizens did not dare to disobey the emperor's orders. They could only hold back their cravings as they sat on their seats in anticipation and waited for Bu Fang's dumplings.
Chef Jin's face was deathly pale. His bald head seemed to be incomparably dull under the sunlight...
"How could this be? How could this be? How could he possibly make delicious dishes with ordinary ingredients? " Chef Jin was in a daze. The reaction of the crowd and Ji Chengxue's satisfied expression were undoubtedly telling him that Bu Fang's Rainbow-colored Crescent Moon Dumplings completely crushed his Four Happiness Meatballs.
For the usually arrogant Chef Jin, this was like a bolt from the blue. He had always boasted in front of the other chefs that Owner Bu, a chef who had gotten lucky, was nothing to worry about. However, reality had ruthlessly slapped him in the face, causing his face to swell up and his bald head to become dull and gloomy.
"I … don't believe it!" Chef Jin's emotions suddenly became a little agitated. He actually put down the meatball he was kneading and planned to walk toward Bu Fang's stove.
"Chef Jin … Please finish your dish, don't walk around without permission." The eunuch who was responsible for keeping the fire quickly stopped him and said in a sharp voice to wake him up.
Chef Jin took a deep breath and gave a deep look at Bu Fang, who was methodically wrapping the dumplings in the distance, a cold snort.
Sizzle.
The sound of oil dripping into the fire entered Chef Jin's ears. Chef Jin was slightly startled and his gaze turned toward a spot not far away from him.
His pupils constricted once again and he sucked in a breath of cold air.
The dishes of the two brothers, Ah Lu and Ah Wei, were also completed … However, the visual effect was simply too shocking.
On top of Ah Lu's stove was a gigantic iron rod. The iron rod was erected vertically and protruded out from under the stove. There was no pot on the stove, only a metal rod. On top of the metal rod was a gigantic roasted spirit beast meat that was fragrant and red.
Glossy oil continuously seeped out from the surface of the spirit beast meat and dripped into the fire under the stove, emitting crackling sounds.
Ah Wei, who was beside Ah Lu, had also completed his dish … It was also roasted meat, but the way he roasted it was completely different from Ah Lu's.
Ah Wei was holding onto rootless skewers with one hand. Each skewer was skewered with red, fragrant, and glossy little spirit beasts.
