Holding the hot chimney bread in your hand is simply the Western version of baked sweet potato, which is perfect for this winter season.
Normally, cheese would be spread inside, but Zhao Mei refused because she thought she would add ice cream to it later and just asked for the original flavor.
The two stood at the end of the line at the ice cream shop, looking at the dozen or so people in front of them and the greasy and fragrant bread in their hands. They couldn't help themselves and just started eating.
Zhao Mei took a light bite. The crispy crust and the sweet taste of white sugar in her mouth complemented each other, and combined with the rich milky aroma, it was simply the ultimate delicacy in winter!
Qiu Jiahe next to him also couldn't help showing surprise on his face after taking a bite. He looked at the bread in his hand, then looked at Zhao Mei next to him, resisted the urge to continue chewing, and talked to Zhao Mei.
"Meili, you really know how to eat. This is so delicious. Am I too hungry? Or is it because it's freshly baked? I must buy a new one when I come out!"
Zhao Mei was chewing a piece of bread. "Just thinking about freshly baked hot bread makes me want to pair it with some cool, sweet ice cream."
Both of them restrained themselves and left half of the bread to go with the ice cream. Perhaps the aroma of the bread was too overbearing, but soon someone who was also in the queue came to ask them about the origin of the bread.
"This is the chimney bread sold at the bakery on the corner. It's right over there. It seems to be a new shop. It tastes delicious when it's fresh out of the oven."
"Yes, yes, I also feel that it would be delicious with ice cream, but the fruit flavor might not be so suitable... Yes, yes, the milk flavor should be good."
Zhao Mei used her fluent Florentine dialect to chat in detail with everyone who came to ask questions, and sold her products vigorously.
Time passed quickly as they were asking and answering questions. When Zhao Mei finally got over the questions, they were already able to go into the store and buy ice cream.
The ice cream here in Florence is all pre-made in tubs, so it cannot be rolled into bread one by one.
Although it was a bit of a pity, Zhao Mei thought about it and asked the waiter to scoop out the balls and put them on the bread, which also had a unique flavor.
In fact, another way is to just pack a big box for takeout, so that you can fill it up when you get home. However, Zhao Mei looked at other people's takeout boxes and found them too huge, so she gave up the idea.
After going out, the two of them couldn't wait to scoop a big mouthful of ice cream, put it in their mouths, shook their bodies violently, and exhaled a breath of cold air.
"It's a time-honored brand with so many people queuing up. This vanilla-flavored one is so delicious, with a very rich vanilla flavor! It's also super smooth. How are they made? It's amazing." Qiu Jiahe shook his head and sighed.
"So they're a time-honored brand with a secret recipe. You can see vanilla seeds on it. It's expensive, so the taste is naturally good. But I still like my chocolate flavor. It's super rich, a little bitter, and absolutely delicious." Zhao Mei and Qiu Jiahe exchanged tastings and then confirmed their choice.
Qiu Jiahe took a big bite of the bread and ice cream. "I don't like chocolate anyway. It's too bitter. Vanilla is better. You should try it with bread. It's amazing."
Zhao Mei nodded: "The combination I recommend will definitely be delicious, don't worry."
A scoop of ice cream may not seem like much, but it tastes amazing when eaten with bread. The half-melted ice cream flows all over the inside of the bread, and you can taste the interweaving of ice and heat in every bite. The sweet aroma of the ice cream and the baked aroma of the bread blend perfectly, making it a perfect match.
The two of them were enjoying their meal, and the people queuing around them were also tempted. Zhao Mei noticed that many people were queuing to buy ice cream, so she turned around and walked into the bakery on the corner.
When I left the house, I had a chimney bread with a ball of ice cream on top in my hand.
Zhao Mei and Qiu Jiahe smiled at each other, finished the last bite of bread in their hands, and started their journey back.
Happy time always passes by inadvertently, and it seems that in the blink of an eye, the day when Xu Yan’s group arrives has arrived.
Zhao Mei looked at the schedule reminder on her mobile phone, quickly washed up, and told Joseph about picking her up at the airport while having breakfast.
"Joseph, my friends' plane will arrive around 1:00 this afternoon. They have a lot of luggage. Please find a few more cars to pick them up. I'll write a sign for you."
After dinner, Zhao Mei took Joseph to the study, took out a piece of paper from the drawer, pieced it together into a more obvious size, and wrote the words "Welcome all Bello members" on it in large letters and handed it back to Joseph.
At the same time, he did not forget to give Xu Yan a heads-up, so that he wouldn't be so busy looking for Xu Yan that he would miss it.
"Sister Xu Yan, I've sent someone to pick you up. The sign says 'Welcome all Bello members.' Don't make the mistake. They're probably foreigners. If there aren't enough cars, just call me and I'll ask him to find a few more."
Unfortunately, Xu Yan couldn't see the message at this time because she was sleeping soundly on the plane.
But by the time she saw it, it was too late.
At Florence International Airport, a team carrying large and small bags was looking at the extended luxury car in front of them and trying hard to close their jaws.
Xu Yan just saw the name of her brand from the airport pick-up point, and the person who picked her up was dressed formally and didn't look like a scammer, so she followed him. However, she was scared as soon as she arrived at the airport gate.
And because Joseph really couldn't understand Chinese very well, all of Xu Yan's doubts and misunderstandings became particularly useless. In the end, he could only get into the stretched limousine with a numb expression on his face.
The space inside the car was extremely spacious. The small living room, which was originally used for singing and watching TV, was now filled with suitcases. Several people sat in a circle, looking extremely restrained.
Xu Yan picked up the phone in despair, only then did she see Zhao Mei's message and replied angrily.
“???”
"Is this what you call 'not enough cars'?"
After sending it, he didn't forget to take a photo of the pile of luxury cars and sent it over.
"I almost thought that I had become so attractive that I could be snatched away by wealthy foreigners."
Zhao Mei was a little surprised when she saw the messages that Xu Yan sent her frantically and the photos with a very different style.
“… …”
"I swear, my original words were that you guys have a lot of luggage, so I asked him to find more cars. I didn't expect this to be the solution... I think my expression was correct..."
Before Zhao Mei could finish doubting herself, Xu Yan had already expressed her guess.
"Are you using the wrong translation software? Did you mistranslate the meaning? Or does this Florentine person have a poor understanding of English? I should have told you to bring a translator..."
Zhao Mei no longer doubted herself and said speechlessly, "I can speak Florentine, thank you. My native level is at the international standard level 12."
This time, Xu Yan was the one doubting herself: "...This is so awesome, that shouldn't be the case. What went wrong?"
Zhao Mei didn't want to continue going back and forth because of these things, so she just said, "Alright, alright, you got on the bus smoothly anyway, I won't sell you out. Don't worry, we'll be there in about an hour or two, see you later."
