Chapter 652-Glutinous Rice Balls "Epiphyllum"

"Boss Wang, this glutinous rice dumpling of yours is so cute, do you have a name for it?"

"Yes, that's right. I wanted to ask that too. It's a shame that such beautiful dumplings don't have a name."

The eyes of several girls were full of love for the dumplings in their hands.

For girls who like the sense of ritual, it is very important to have a name for their favorite glutinous rice balls.

Wang Fan looked at Zhuo Qianqian. He didn't think he could come up with any other good name for the glutinous rice balls except Yuanxiao.

Zhuo Qianqian looked at the little girls with eyes full of anticipation, and couldn't help but savor the taste of the glutinous rice balls.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he excitedly snapped his fingers and said, "The name of this dumpling is Epiphyllum."

"Epiphyllum?"

"Epiphyllum? Although it's beautiful when it blooms, it doesn't seem to go with glutinous rice balls, right?"

"But the name is really beautiful, and the glutinous rice balls are beautiful too, so it seems quite appropriate."

Zhuo Qianqian said confidently: "When you taste this dumpling, you will know how appropriate the name is."

"Oh? There's such a saying?"

"Then I have to try it quickly to see how fitting it is."

Several little girls took the bowls and bamboo sticks, threaded the dumplings onto the sticks, and blew on them a few times.

The outdoor temperature was low, and the temperature of the dumplings dropped rapidly after the breeze.

Putting the glutinous rice balls to her mouth, the pink glutinous rice balls and the fair face are a beautiful sight in themselves.

But the good times didn’t last long. Not long after they put the glutinous rice balls in their mouths, these girls started to behave strangely at the same time.

“Huff…Awoo…”

"Ow ooh..."

"hiss……"

?

The people in the queue behind had big question marks on their heads, and looked at the person in front who had just bought dumplings in confusion.

I'm just eating a dumpling, why are you howling like a ghost?

No matter how delicious it is, it’s just rice dumplings. Do you have to be so exaggerated?

Is it a shill?
After taking a closer look at these people's expressions, I became even more confused. They didn't look like they were particularly hungry. Could it be that they were trying to get the food to taste good?
Could it be a monkey sent by a competitor?
Well, you know what, the way it scratches its ears and cheeks really does look a bit like a monkey.

If Jiang Wanyou could hear the thoughts of these people behind her, she would definitely curse back loudly - you are the monkeys hired by the opponent, your whole family!
Can you blame me for scratching my head? You would do the same if you ate such sour rice balls!

The sticky white fungus soup is wrapped around the outside of the glutinous rice balls, which is in line with the dietary characteristics of the Northeastern people.

The slippery glutinous rice balls taste sweet and have the fragrance of roses.

The soft and glutinous meatballs have a very good taste. When you bite them gently, it feels like biting into a chewy pink cloud.

but!

When your teeth pierce the skin of the glutinous rice balls and the liquid filling inside flows into your mouth, all this beauty turns into another taste - sour!

Really, the moment the filling flowed into his mouth, Jiang Wanyou shuddered from head to toe due to the sourness, and even rolled his eyes!
The sour taste is so strong and rich that it is even more stimulating than chewing a raw lemon!

But it is a little better than eating raw lemons, that is, it has a little sweetness, not as explosive and unacceptable as the sour taste of lemon.

But it’s really hard to control yourself from scratching your head when you eat something as sour as this ball!
She really wanted to loudly accuse Wang Fan of wanting to kill her for money, but the sour thing was stimulating her taste buds, which were already secreting saliva like a flood. How could she dare to open her mouth?
In desperation, she could only chew faster.

Chew, chew, chew...

Ok?
The few people who were scratching their heads suddenly stopped.

This is……?
Jiang Wanyou just thought he was going to die of jealousy.

But when it got sour, she discovered that a soft little ball had appeared in her mouth without her noticing.

The small ball bursts instantly when you bite it, and then a sweet taste that goes to your heart quickly fills your entire mouth.

The original sour taste in the mouth was neutralized by the sweetness, and it became a particularly delicious sour and sweet taste.

"Wow? What is this?"

"I don't know what it is, but it's such an interesting and delicious glutinous rice dumpling."

"It's true. I've never eaten such interesting dumplings before."

"So this is what Epiphyllum means. It really fits this glutinous rice dumpling."

"Yes, the feeling at that moment was really like a flash in the pan. The name is really very appropriate."

This scene made the people in the queue behind stunned.

What on earth just happened? Why does it feel like there was a complete reversal in the blink of an eye?

Just now he was scratching his head and looking like he was going to die, how come he suddenly looked so surprised?
"I want five takeaways!"

"I'll have three more, too!"

"I want ten! These dumplings are so delicious. I want to take them back and let my family try them too."

"Hehehe, of course I have to let my bestie try such interesting dumplings. I want four servings!"

Several little girls left contentedly with the dumplings they bought, while the ones behind them couldn't wait to get one for themselves to try.

They are close to each other and naturally know what just happened. If it is particularly sweet, they will not be so eager, but the sour taste that makes you scratch your ears and cheeks is the favorite of many girls.

There were a few couples in front of us, and some boys also tried the Tangyuan called Epiphyllum.

In addition to feeling so sore that my whole body was shivering, I also had to scratch my ears and cheeks and squeeze my facial features together.

This is too sour! Who said it was delicious?

"Can you do this? Why are you making such a painful expression? If not, give them all to me. These dumplings are so delicious."

Seeing their boyfriends’ facial features always squeezed together, the girls asked themselves soul-searching questions.

Ok?
The boy's facial features instantly relaxed after he had triggered the keyword. He tried his best to control his saliva from flowing out, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Who can't? I just think these dumplings are so delicious, just a little bit sourer than usual."

If Wang Fan silently added at this time: "People with kidney deficiency cannot eat too sour food." I believe the expressions of these boys would be even more exaggerated.

But Wang Fan is a kind person: "Don't force yourself if you can't finish it. This is half sweet and three times sour, and it's a bit difficult for boys to adapt to it."

"Haha, Boss Wang is such a joke. Who's holding on? I'm not feeling any pressure at all."

"This little bit of sourness is just a sprinkle of water." "If you three can't finish it, don't force yourself. I have no problem at all."

"It's not shameful to be unable to handle sour food. You three should admit it quickly."

Wang Fan looked at the stubborn boys and waved them away, "Come, bring your bowls over. You guys have big appetites, so I'll give you boys some more Tremella soup."

"Swish, swish, swish..."

As soon as Wang Fan finished speaking, four afterimages passed by, and the four bowls were placed in front of Wang Fan, fearing that Wang Fan would change his mind in a second.

They swore that they were not taking advantage of each other, but that the rice dumplings were just so sour!

This Tremella soup is not just for filling you up, it is definitely life-saving!

Tons tons tons tons...

You know what, this sweet Tremella soup makes my mouth feel much more comfortable.

And somehow, the taste of that dumpling is always lingering. Even though it’s so sour, I can’t help but want to stuff the remaining dumplings into my mouth. It’s just like the candies I ate as a child, which is so addictive.

"You know what, these sour rice dumplings go really well with this white fungus soup. And the most amazing thing is that I ate three and didn't feel sick at all. I even wanted to buy a second helping."

"I feel the same way. Usually, when I eat glutinous rice balls, the first one is delicious, the second one is a bit sweet, and the third one is too sweet and greasy. I definitely can't eat the fourth one. But today, these sour glutinous rice balls are getting more and more addictive. After eating these three glutinous rice balls, it feels like another dimension of my stomach has been opened up. I have to have at least ten or twenty of them."

"Ten or twenty more? Ten at most is almost enough. Even if your stomach can handle it, can your teeth handle it?"

Lemon juice, strawberry powder, strawberry pulp, rose petals, and a little bit of sugar—these are the ingredients that make up the filling of Wang Fan’s glutinous rice balls.

And that little mechanism is similar to the seaweed soup ball in the anime, except that the seaweed soup inside is replaced with honey.

Making this little thing is quite difficult for Wang Fan, but it is a piece of cake for Zhuo Qianqian. The two of them worked together to make this sweet and sour glutinous rice ball.

It turns out that the effect is very good. After being used to eating ordinary glutinous rice balls, diners are suddenly attracted by the sour and slightly sweet ones. The freshness and very good taste of these glutinous rice balls prompt them to continue buying them.

"Brothers, come to Central Street quickly. Boss Wang is selling a delicious glutinous rice balls here. They are absolutely delicious and you will regret it for a whole year if you miss them."

"Don't miss it if you pass by. Boss Wang's secret recipe of glutinous rice balls is so sweet that it will break the curse of glutinous rice balls that can only be eaten in three servings."

"It's really, really, really delicious. Trust me, it's definitely worth trying. Anyone who lies is a puppy."

If you eat something delicious, it may not be necessary to call your friends over, but if you eat something new and unique, you must ask your friends to come and try it.

Especially those who are willing to watch their brothers make a fool of themselves, even if it means being a dog, they will still trick their brothers into coming over!
Then Wang Fan started to go crazy again.

Compared to the delicate work of chopping vegetables and cooking, making glutinous rice balls is much simpler. He just mechanically soaks them in water, shakes the winnowing basket, soaks them in water, and shakes the winnowing basket.

But this kind of work, which is like a donkey pulling a mill, makes the diners in line feel very comfortable, and no one sympathizes with him.

After all, the guy in front of you is a person who hangs out all year round. Today he goes to this scenic spot, tomorrow he goes to that scenic spot, and the day after tomorrow he goes to watch the stars. From time to time he takes out his midnight snacks to make everyone break down.

How dare you sympathize with him?!

"Come on, Boss Wang, finish 1000 and then 1000 more."

“The revolution has not yet succeeded. Comrades, we must continue to work hard.”

"There are still a thousand zombies on the way. Boss Wang, hold on. We are your strong backing, hahahaha."

"I told you to send us delicious food all day long, but it's so satisfying to watch you work, hahahaha."

Wang Fan just laughed off these people's words and didn't take them to heart. These words just showed that these people liked him very much. The simple and clear explanation was that they were afraid that their brothers would suffer, and they were also afraid that their brothers would drive a Land Rover.

Unless the relationship is close enough, people won't bother to tell you these things.

He had no limit today, nor did he set a limit for himself, but if the filling was gone, he could only apologize. He couldn't just shake some glutinous rice balls for others to eat.

Moreover, if we only use such beautiful lanterns to make money without going to see them, it would be a shame to the hard work of the Cultural and Tourism Bureau.

After packing up, Wang Fan took Zhuo Qianqian and started strolling on Central Street. At this time, there was nothing on Central Street that did not have a lamp hanging on it.

Circles of light bulbs spiral upwards on the tree, and on the branches are round light bulbs that look like yellow grapes.

All the light bulbs emitted a faint yellow light, making the cold Central Street look warm.

Walking in it, the trees above your head and on the street are surrounded by flickering lights, and the light and shadow are vague, like flowing lights.

Going further, all kinds of lanterns are in full bloom, and the shadows of goldfish lanterns sway gracefully, like the finishing touch, adding a touch of beautiful color to the night.

“Wow, it’s beautiful.”

Zhuo Qianqian held Wang Fan's arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and looked at the various lanterns with bright eyes.

After sighing, he took another bite of the Madiel ice cream in his hand.

Going further ahead, there are two lion dance performances. The Chinese red color always looks so festive.

The two lions kept running and jumping, blinking their big, KISS ME eyes from time to time.

Further ahead is a shopping mall. There are many round red lanterns hanging in front of the mall. A large group of people are gathered here at the moment, obviously there is some activity going on.

If you want to have fun, then there are only 500,000 people walking around. Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian also ran over to watch the fun with great interest.

When I got there, I found that the mall was organizing an event. Riddles were hung under the red lanterns. If you answered them correctly, the mall would give you small prizes.

The prizes aren't very valuable, but the main thing is to have fun.

Wang Fan was very smart in this regard, but with a top student by his side, Wang Fan was obviously not afraid at all. He directly ran to the front with Zhuo Qianqian.

When the shopping mall host in front saw Wang Fan show up, his eyes lit up.

This person is a celebrity in Erbin. With his participation in today's lantern riddle party, the publicity effect will be much better.

"Oh my, oh my, why did I dream of a magpie calling last night? It turns out that Boss Wang came. Is Boss Wang going to participate in our lantern riddle guessing activity?"

Wang Fan shook his head: "I can't do this kind of brain-intensive work. Let my girlfriend do it."

The host, Li Sen, laughed heartily. "It seems that Boss Wang is determined to win our prize. The boss's wife is a top student at a top university."

Zhuo Qianqian was also eager to try at this time. She ran to the stage in two steps. There were already about 10 people on the stage. After the host asked out the riddles, they would compete to answer. Whoever answered correctly first would win.

"Okay, since no new friends are coming up, let's officially begin the first round of our lantern riddle guessing. I'll tell you the riddle, and those who think of the answer should raise their hands. The first one to answer correctly will receive our small prize. Ten questions make up a round, and if anyone can answer all ten correctly in a row, they'll win first prize."

After Li Sen finished explaining the rules, he pointed to a beautiful doll as tall as a human and said, "This is our first prize. Everyone, do you have the confidence to take this doll away?"

"Have!"

Anyone who dares to stand on the stage and answer questions, regardless of their ability, will at least not be stage fright.

"Okay, then our lantern riddle guessing activity will officially begin. Everyone, please listen to the questions!"
