The person who came out was a fatty who was almost as fat as a ball. He wore a white uniform and a white hat. At first glance, he looked like a chef, but on closer inspection, he was a little different.
"This is our boss, Mr. Gao Dawei," the employee introduced.
"How do you want to compete?" Ya 'er asked Gao Dawei.
"I've recently developed a few types of chocolate. Try them together. Whoever can taste what ingredients are used will win if they guess correctly. If they don't guess correctly, they will be eliminated." Seeing Tiantian and Ya 'er staring at him, Gao Dawei hurriedly explained, "Don't worry. This trial is completely free. Regardless of who wins or loses, you don't need to pay a single cent."
"That's more like it. What if both of them get it right?" Ya 'er asked.
"It's not that easy. I know the chocolate I make. Even I might not be able to taste a few ingredients if I hadn't eaten them in advance," Gao Dawei said. "Don't worry and eat. I reckon it'll be difficult for any of you to guess correctly."
With that said, Gao Dawei entered the room at the back. Soon, he came out with a plate of chocolate.
Zhou Wen usually didn't like to eat snacks. His impression of chocolate was still stuck on a black square board.
However, the plate of chocolate that Gao Dawei had picked was different from the chocolate in Zhou Wen's impression.
There were chocolates in the shape of a puppy, a gentleman playing the piano, and a chocolate that seemed to have a layer of snow on it. They looked very exquisite.
Ya 'er and Tiantian's gazes were also attracted by the strangely shaped chocolates. They revealed eager expressions as though they wanted to try them.
Gao Dawei was very pleased with the trio's reaction. He said smugly, "To be absolutely fair, you have to try the same type of chocolate at the same time. Then, write your answers on a piece of paper and hand it to me. I'll judge."
Gao Dawei got the employee to bring him paper, a pen, and a knife that was specially used to cut chocolate.
"The first chocolate, I call it Alpine Honey. Please try it." Gao Dawei personally cut two pieces from the spherical chocolate that had snow on it and placed them on a small plate before handing them to Ya 'er and Tiantian.
Zhou Wen looked at the spot where it was cut. There was a white substance flowing out of it that looked like ice cream.
Ya 'er and Tiantian tasted it and found it delicious. In a few moments, they finished it. Then, the two of them seemed to have an answer. They looked at each other before turning their heads. With their backs facing each other, they found a table and wrote down their answers.
Almost at the same time, he finished writing the answer and handed it to Gao Dawei.
Gao Dawei carefully looked at their answers and nodded. "Not bad, both of you got it right. Other than the cocoa and sugar from the chocolate itself, Alpine Honey also uses condensed milk, honey, hazelnuts, ice cream, and even candied dates, which are only used in small amounts. Not bad, it seems like both of you have a keen sense of taste. But don't be too proud. This is only the simplest and most basic. Most people will be able to figure it out. The later ones will be more difficult, and it won't be so easy to guess. "
Seeing that Ya 'er and Tiantian didn't respond, Gao Dawei had no choice but to cough softly. He chose another clever method and said, "This chocolate is called Nature's Pianist. It's my latest invention that I'm proud of. Try it."
Zhou Wen sized up the chocolate curiously. The pianist, the stool, and the piano formed an exquisite piece of art. It made people unable to bear eating it.
It was hard to imagine that such exquisite chocolate was made by a plump man like Gao Dawei.
After the previous round, Zhou Wen gained a little understanding of chocolate. The parts of the gown, stool, and piano were likely ordinary chocolate.
The human skin and the piano's white keys were likely made from milk products.
Zhou Wen also knew that it definitely wasn't that simple. It was impossible for Gao Dawei to give such a simple question.
Zhou Wen twitched his nose and seemed to smell something familiar. He carefully looked at the dark chocolate and immediately made a discovery.
There seems to be something mixed in the dark parts. Zhou Wen only knew that there was something mixed in, but he didn't know what it was. Although the smell was a little familiar, he couldn't remember where he had eaten it.
Ya 'er and Tiantian ate the chocolate that Gao Dawei had cut off. Their faces revealed satisfied and blissful expressions. It was obvious that the chocolate tasted great.
This time, Tiantian immediately wrote the answer, but Ya 'er hesitated.
Zhou Wen wasn't worried that Ya 'er would lose. He was only wondering what Tiantian was up to.
After lowering her head and thinking for a while, Ya 'er finally wrote down her answer. As for Tiantian, she had already handed the answer to Gao Dawei.
When Gao Dawei saw their answers, a look of surprise appeared on his face. "The taste of cream and butter is great, but it's very easy to mask other flavors. The average person's taste buds are assaulted by the taste of chocolate and cream at the same time. Coupled with the stimulation of rum and the cocoa powder on the outer layer, it forms a complex layered feeling. It's very complicated. It's very difficult to discover the hint of black truffle hidden in it. Most people know that there is no black truffle in the black truffle chocolate, but I did the opposite and deliberately added a small amount of black truffle in it. I didn't expect you to still be able to taste it. You really have a good sense of taste. "
Only then did Zhou Wen recall that the familiar taste was black truffle. Once, Ouyang Lan had taken him out for a meal, and there were a few pieces of black truffle. Ouyang Lan had even specially given them to Zhou Wen to taste and told him that they were black truffles.
However, Zhou Wen's mind wasn't on eating back then. He was only thinking about how to grind dungeons when he returned, so his memories were too blurry. Furthermore, he had eaten too little. There were only a few thin pieces, so he almost didn't remember.
"It won't be easy for you to guess the next chocolate." Gao Dawei seemed very confident as he cut open the puppy-shaped chocolate.
He was rather careful when he cut it, as though he was trying his best to control the cut. Then, he handed the two pieces of chocolate to Ya 'er and Tiantian.
Due to the previous two experiences, Ya 'er and Tiantian looked forward to the next piece of chocolate. The moment they received it, they couldn't wait to bite into it.
However, after the two of them bit into it and chewed twice, their expressions changed. They chewed slower and slower. Almost at the same time, they spat out the chocolate they had eaten.
"Ya 'er, are you alright?" Although Zhou Wen didn't eat it, he knew that something was wrong with the chocolate from the smell. He couldn't help but stare at Gao Dawei, prepared to attack at any moment.
