Chapter 1345 Gao Dawei
The person who came out was a fat man who was almost as fat as a ball. He was wearing a white uniform and a white hat. At first glance, I thought he was a chef, but when I looked closely, there was something different.
"This is our boss, Mr. Gao Dawei," the clerk introduced.
"How do we compete?" Yaer asked Gao Dawei.
"I've recently developed several new chocolates. You can try them together. Whoever can guess the ingredients correctly wins. If you don't, you're eliminated." Gao Dawei saw Tiantian and Ya'er staring at him and quickly explained, "Don't worry, this tasting is completely free. Whether you win or lose, you don't have to pay a penny."
"That's more like it. What if both of them are right about everything?" Yaer asked.
"It's not that easy. I know the chocolate I make very well. Even if I hadn't tasted it beforehand, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between some ingredients." Gao Dawei said, "Just eat it with confidence. I don't think any of you can guess all the ingredients correctly."
As he spoke, Gao Dawei went into the back room and soon came out with a plate of chocolates.
Zhou Wen doesn't like snacks usually, and his impression of chocolate is still that of a black checkered board.
However, the plate of chocolate that Gao Dawei picked out was quite different from the chocolate Zhou Wen had in mind.
There are chocolates in the shape of a puppy, a gentleman playing the piano, and one that looks like it has a layer of snow on it. The shapes all look very delicate.
Yaer and Tiantian were also attracted by the chocolates with strange shapes. They looked eager to try them, as if they really wanted to have a taste.
Gao Dawei was very proud of the three people's reactions and said proudly, "To ensure absolute fairness, you must all try the same type of chocolate at the same time, then write down your answers on a piece of paper and hand it to me. I will then judge."
Gao Dawei asked the clerk to bring paper, pen, and a knife specifically for cutting chocolate.
"The first chocolate, I call it Alpine Honey Snow, please taste it." Gao Dawei personally cut two pieces from the spherical chocolate with snow-like surface, put them in a small plate, and handed them to Yaer and Tiantian respectively.
Zhou Wen saw the cut part and found that there was a filling inside. The white puffed substance flowing out seemed to be ice cream.
Yaer and Tiantian each tasted it and it looked delicious. They finished it in a few bites. Then they both seemed to have the answer. They looked at each other, then turned around, found a table with their backs to each other, and wrote down their answers on it.
They finished writing the answers almost at the same time and handed them to Gao Dawei.
Gao Dawei carefully examined the two people's answers and nodded. "Excellent, you both got it right. Besides the cocoa and sugar in chocolate itself, Alpine Honey Snow also uses condensed milk, honey, hazelnuts, and ice cream. You even tasted the very small amount of candied dates. Good! It seems you have a very sensitive sense of taste. But don't get complacent. This is just the simplest and most basic one. Most people can taste it. The ones that follow are more difficult and not so easy to guess."
Seeing that Yaer and Tiantian were silent, Gao Dawei could only cough lightly and said, "This chocolate is called Nature's Pianist. It's my latest invention. You guys should try it."
Zhou Wen looked at the chocolate with some curiosity. The pianist, the stool and the piano formed an exquisite work of art, which made people reluctant to eat it.
It is hard to imagine that such exquisite chocolate was made by a chubby man like Gao Dawei.
After the previous round, Zhou Wen had a little understanding of chocolate. The dress, stool, and piano should be ordinary chocolate.
Human skin and the white keys of the piano must have been made with milk products.
Zhou Wen also knew that it was definitely not that simple. Gao Dawei could not possibly give such a simple question.
Twitching his nose, Zhou Wen seemed to smell some familiar scent. He looked carefully at the dark chocolate part and immediately made a discovery.
"Those dark parts seem to be mixed with something." Zhou Wen only knew that there was something mixed in it, but he didn't know what it was. Although the taste was a bit familiar, he couldn't remember where he had eaten it.
Yaer and Tiantian both ate the chocolate cut by Gao Dawei, with satisfied and happy expressions on their faces. It can be imagined that the chocolate must taste very good.
This time, Tiantian started writing the answer immediately, but Yaer hesitated.
Zhou Wen was not worried that Yaer would lose, he was just wondering what Tiantian's intentions were.
After thinking for a while, Yaer finally wrote down her answer, while Tiantian had already given the answer to Gao Dawei.
Gao Dawei looked at their answers and showed a hint of surprise on his face. "Cream and butter taste great, but they can easily mask other flavors. The average person's taste buds are assaulted by the flavors of chocolate and cream, and with the added stimulation of rum and the outer layer of cocoa powder, they form a complex layered flavor. It's hard to detect the hint of black truffle hidden within. Most people know that black truffle chocolate doesn't contain black truffles, but I did the opposite and deliberately added a small amount of black truffle. I didn't expect you to be able to taste it anyway. You really have a good sense of taste."
Zhou Wen then remembered that the familiar taste was black truffle. Once, Ouyang Lan took him out to dinner, and there were a few slices of black truffle. Ouyang Lan even picked some up for Zhou Wen to taste and told him that it was called black truffle.
However, Zhou Wen's mind was not on eating at that time. He was only thinking about how to go back and clear the dungeon, so his memory was too vague. He also ate too little, only a few thin slices in total, so he almost didn't remember it.
"It won't be so easy for you to guess what the next chocolate is." Gao Dawei seemed very confident and cut the chocolate that looked like a puppy.
He was very careful when cutting, as if he was trying his best to control the cutting part, and then handed the two cut pieces of chocolate to Yaer and Tiantian.
Because of the previous two experiences, Yaer and Tiantian were even more excited for the next chocolate. As soon as they got it, they almost couldn't wait to bite it at the same time.
But after they bit into it and chewed it for a few times, their faces changed, and they chewed slower and slower. Then, almost at the same time, they spat out the chocolate they had eaten.
"Ya'er, are you okay?" Although Zhou Wen didn't eat it, he knew there was something wrong with the chocolate just by smelling it. He couldn't help but stare at Gao Dawei, ready to attack at any time.
