Chapter 991 Teyvat - New Creativity
Aiko Gojo used the harvest from yesterday and today to make herself a bowl of "Chen Yuxianming Ice Porridge". She did not use matcha powder made from ground tea leaves, but ice cubes frozen from herbal tea.
After crushing the ice into foam, she prepared a cup of syrup made with Qingxin flower petals, a reduced-sugar version that tried to retain the slightly bitter taste of Qingxin, and finally added some lotus seeds and almond tofu.
She tasted it herself and found it surprisingly good, very refreshing and sweet. She took a bowl to Wanmin Hall to find Miss Shen He.
I vaguely remember that Chongyun's aunt Shenhe liked the taste of Qingxin.
"It tastes very good, sweet but also refreshing. I like it very much." Shen He is no longer just a delivery girl for Wanmin Hall. She can also take orders and serve as a waiter.
Chef Mao also came to join in the fun and made a small suggestion, which was to try adding some glass bags. This precious ingredient can always add unexpected flavors to the food.
"You should also try adding glazed lilies and colorful flowers." Shen He no longer suppresses her desires and refuses to eat normal meals like she did before, but she still prefers to eat flowers and light meals. After all, she has been used to it since she was a child.
When Aiko Gojo returned to the beach house, she found a stranger.
"Hello! I'm Jiaming!" Jiaming scratched his head. He was dragged here by Gojo Satoru and was asked to be... a food taster?
Gojo Satoru was very happy because Jiaming helped him burn the grass slime and avenge his death, so he decided to repay him.
"This is too bland!" Gojo Satoru was eating the ice porridge that Gojo Aiko had just made, and he disliked the fact that the porridge tasted too bitter and not sweet enough.
"This is not made for you to eat!" Gojo Aiko stepped on Gojo Satoru.
"I think it tastes okay! Very refreshing. It will definitely taste great with the Qingxin Flower Cake. It's a pity that I didn't buy any snacks when I came to Liyue Harbor this time!" Jiaming didn't realize the seriousness of the problem yet. As soon as he finished speaking, Gojo Satoru came over with sparkling eyes.
"Where can I buy Qingxin Flower Cake? You must know where to buy the most delicious dessert, right?"
Jiaming scratched his head and said, "Lotus cake and almond tofu are very good. I always go to Wanmin Hall and order two servings every time I come here."
These two are definitely the best tasting among the affordable snacks. Lotus crisps are relatively expensive, but they are both delicious and beautiful.
The taste of most other desserts was just average, and restaurants like Liuliting and Xinyuexuan, which were impossible to make reservations even if you had money, were totally out of their consideration because there was no need.
Gojo Satoru slumped on the sofa with a look of disappointment.
"Uh...what's wrong with him?" Jiaming looked left and right and found that Gojo Aiko and Suguru Geto both looked as if they were used to it.
"The sweets maniac is just throwing a tantrum because he can't eat what he wants." Gojo Aiko asked Gojo Satoru if they had found any suitable tools for making shaved ice.
Gojo Satoru turned over and groaned without saying anything. Xia Yujie said awkwardly that they had ordered two large iron pots.
After hearing that Gojo Satoru wanted to use the iron pot directly as a mold, Gojo Aiko didn't react much, but she felt that the noise of chiseling ice would definitely be very loud.
"Are you going to sell this ice porridge? It's very creative!" Jiaming expressed his approval of the ice porridge, "If I eat a mouthful of ice porridge while eating boiled black sea bass, it will definitely relieve the spiciness!"
"Do you think the ice porridge should taste sweeter or lighter?" Aiko Gojo unceremoniously grabbed Jiaming to be her taster.
"I think the sweet taste is enough!" Jiaming insisted on his own idea regardless of Gojo Satoru's ferocious eyes.
"Both the syrup and the condiments are sweet, so it's better if the ice porridge base is lighter." Xia Yujie also supports the sweet taste.
Gojo Goki gritted his teeth.
Jiaming works at the Jianxia Escort Agency in Yilongbu. He is also a member of the Weishui Beast Dance Troupe and is passionate about beast dance (lion dance).
Yilongbu is very close to Qiaoyingzhuang, which is rich in tea, so people living in that area love to drink tea and eat snacks.
Jiaming often travels between Yilong Port, Qiaoying Manor and Liyue Port, and can be said to have tried all the snacks in these three cities.
After talking to him, Gojo Aiko came up with a lot of new ideas, which also made Gojo Satoru next to her drool.
"When you open your business, would you like to invite our majestic lion dance team to liven up the business?" Jiaming also took the opportunity to promote their lion dance team's performance.
Beast dance is not very popular nowadays, and the dance troupes don't have much business. However, since Jiaming's beast dance became a hit during the Lantern Festival one year, the beast dance has gradually opened up the market.
However, Jiaming still did not give up any possible business. The more the better!
“The Beast Dancers?” Gojo Aiko scratched her head. “I would like to see the Beast Dancers’ performance, but our beach house has already opened, and this time we only plan to open for a short period of time, and then we have to leave.”
“Oh, I see. Next time the Beast Dancers perform, I’ll call you!” Jiaming recalled the Beast Dancers’ schedule. The next performance would be in Liyue Harbor.
Jiaming had other things to do, so he left quickly.
As soon as he left, Ying and Paimon rushed over from Fontaine!
"We are here!" Paimeng flew over excitedly. As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a very sweet smell. Someone must be making something delicious!
"Come and try the ice porridge I made!" Aiko Gojo took out the other prepared syrup.
Gojo Satoru jumped up from the sofa: "What? There are other flavors?"
"I just put all the jars on the cabinet next to me, didn't you see it?" Gojo Aiko thought that Gojo Satoru was deliberately making things difficult for her. There was a sweeter syrup nearby, but he insisted on drinking the Qingxin syrup.
So it turns out he didn't notice it?
"Haha." Xia Youjie laughed mercilessly twice.
"What is this yellow thing?" Paimeng happily instructed Ying to serve him a bowl of ice porridge, and then began to observe the flavors of the syrups in the glass jars one by one.
"It's applesauce, the green one is mint syrup, and the yellower one is raspberry jam." Aiko Gojo served herself another bowl of ice porridge with applesauce, and then sprinkled it with Qingxin petals and sunset fruit pieces. She hadn't started making the side dishes yet, so she could only use these side dishes that didn't require any additional processing.
"I want one with raspberry jam, and sunset fruit and apples!" Paimon urged Ying to take out the ingredients they had collected in other countries.
"Clang clang! Look at the Dun Dun peach juice we bought in Xumi! And the bubble oranges picked in Fontaine! We also specially bought the best quality coffee beans! And this fruit gummy candy made with bubble oranges!" Paimeng introduced the ingredients bought from foreign countries to them one by one.
