Daddy's Gourmet Shop
Chapter 513 - 501: This Is Just Super Unbelievably Refreshing!
This side of the store.
Cai Jiajia and Xu Meiqi finally bought their desired ginger and walnut scrambled eggs, ginger egg, and coconut milk bubble smoothie, and brought some for their roommates as well.
It wasn’t easy!
Who told them to be summoned home by their parents during the New Year holiday?
Since then, they’ve been able to only look at various food flaunts by others on Weibo.
No matter how much they craved it, they couldn’t help it.
Who would’ve known that in just a few days, Delicious Restaurant would successively launch new items like the coconut milk bubble smoothie, ginger and walnut scrambled eggs, and ginger egg.
When she saw the Weibo post about the coconut milk bubble smoothie, she couldn’t help but text her roommate Xu Meiqi: "Hey, Meiqi, have you seen Delicious’s official Weibo? Boss Huang is launching the coconut milk bubble smoothie! It’s a dieter’s joy, another drink they can enjoy without restraint!"
Just like the Delicious ice-cold mung bean milk shake, low in calories and high in appeal, it’s the favorite in their dormitory.
Moreover, the food at Delicious Restaurant is super delicious.
Except for the fish ball soup and nourishing fish soup, the other dishes have relatively high calories.
For normal people, they are just home-cooked dishes.
But for dieters like them who constantly battle with weight, it’s a disaster!
Ever since Cai Jiajia fell in love with the food at Delicious Restaurant, she found it hard to resist breaking her diet.
Because they go to eat every few days, even though the semester hasn’t ended yet,
her weight hasn’t decreased but increased instead, gaining 4 pounds in total.
When the New Year holiday finally came, she managed to lose a pound by controlling her diet, although she was drooling over all the shared photos on Weibo every day.
But sometimes, what you can’t see and can’t buy is actually a blessing, isn’t it?
At least during the three-day holiday, Cai Jiajia sustained herself by watching Delicious Restaurant’s food photos and munching on whole wheat toast.
Not easy!
And Xu Meiqi had been eagerly waiting for new products from Delicious Restaurant, but because she was home for the holiday, she could only watch and envy from afar.
Back then, she was so close to Delicious Restaurant, with West City Old Street right near her school, just about a ten-minute walk.
But now...
Because she went home for the holiday, that delicious coconut milk bubble smoothie, ginger and walnut scrambled eggs, ginger egg, were just out of reach.
Only those who have experienced it would understand this pain!
At that moment, suddenly the holiday didn’t seem so sweet anymore!
Finally, after much anticipation, when the holiday ended, she and Cai Jiajia went to Delicious Restaurant right on the evening they returned to school to try those three new items.
But they were all sold out, leaving only dishes like braised pork rice and braised chicken leg rice, which were still delicious.
The next few days due to class, they kept missing out.
Luckily, they didn’t have class in the last session this morning, so they immediately went together to buy them.
Being so eager to try fresh items, and not having class in the afternoon, they decided to dine in at the store.
After ordering and paying, they directly went inside and found a seat.
Xu Meiqi couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Jiajia, I finally understand why everyone says college students are the most carefree people in the world."
As soon as she said that,
at the next table, some male college students overheard her not-so-quiet self-mocking remark while dining.
Ahem.
They felt a bit offended.
From their coughing, Xu Meiqi realized they heard something they might take offense to and awkwardly gave a polite smile.
Just then.
Li Chengzhan brought over the meals they ordered.
The ginger and walnut scrambled eggs in caramel color were the most alluring,
Cai Jiajia and Xu Meiqi saw the ginger and walnut scrambled eggs with a caramel sheen, and the steamed eggs full of walnut pieces, and were already salivating, so they immediately took a spoonful.
Put it in their mouths.
First, a wave of ginger spiciness entered the throat and reached the nose, with a bit of egg aroma and walnut fragrance.
A slight bite, particularly soft, smooth yet crunchy with walnut fragments and slightly spicy ginger juice intertwined.
Chew slowly.
The custard with walnut bits, there’s only one word to describe this taste, and that’s "delicious"!
Bite after bite, it’s particularly addictive.
When Cai Jiajia realized, she had already eaten two to three mouthfuls.
"Ah~ this flavor is simply amazing! Honestly, only Delicious’s ginger and walnut scrambled eggs feel authentic and suitable to me, others are either too spicy or too sweet,"
Cai Jiajia couldn’t help but exclaim.
As she spoke, she took another spoonful of ginger and walnut scrambled eggs, savoring the soft egg, crunchy walnuts, brown sugar’s subtle sweetness, and ginger’s fresh spiciness...
The fusion has a sweet and spicy combination that makes you crave for more.
Xu Meiqi also had several bites, nodding in agreement, "Mm-hmm, the taste is indeed authentic, even better than the ginger and walnut scrambled eggs from that famous old shop I went to last time! I think in such cold weather, ginger and walnut scrambled eggs are perfect."
Cai Jiajia nodded like a chick pecking rice, "Yes, yes, once it enters your belly, your whole body warms up, see, I even have little beads of sweat on my forehead."
As she spoke, she flipped her hair to show her roommate her forehead.
After tasting the ginger and walnut scrambled eggs, Cai Jiajia couldn’t help but look at the cup of coconut milk bubble smoothie, admiring its layers: "This color is really pretty, with a mint leaf topping, milk and coconut juice blending into a pure white as snow, tiny bubbles at the bottom, and there’s coconut meat and ice crystals too! It must be refreshing to drink."
While she was appreciating, Xu Meiqi already inserted a straw and took a sip, enjoying the moment, and closed her eyes, savoring the rich milk flavor that didn’t overshadow the refreshing coconut juice and unique sweetness, the creamy ice enveloping the coconut meat with the chewy bubbles.
She couldn’t help but say, "The flavor of this coconut milk bubble smoothie, it’s simply amazing! Jiajia, you should try it too."
Cai Jiajia inserted a straw and took a sip too, amazed by the amount of coconut meat content inside.
The ratio of juice and fruit meat was just right, allowing you to enjoy the coconut meat without feeling too thick; the mix of coconut juice with milk and ice, icy and refreshing, was delightful.
"Oh, this coconut milk bubble smoothie is simply incredible, I feel it’s even tastier than the ones from that famous dessert shop!"
Cai Jiajia couldn’t help but exclaim again.
The famous dessert shop is a place near Lijiang University selling desserts and cold drinks, renowned for their coconut milk bubble smoothie.
She used to often go there with her roommates to enjoy a bowl!
Oh!
Truly, there’s no harm with a comparison!
The two continued eating ginger and walnut scrambled eggs, alternating with sips of the coconut milk bubble smoothie, purely because this combination was delicious.
The mix of spicy and icy, it’s absolutely super refreshing! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
