Chapter 260: Sweet Osmanthus Sandwiched Yuanxiao

However, KFC had never expected the dumpling was surprisingly like a hidden weapon. It seemed not to have gravy at all in the seemingly perfectly-round and well-stacked dumpling which the beautiful fillings inside could be clearly seen.

However, KFC suddenly inhaled continuously with a sound of “Si Si” while still managing to eat it.

It was only then that the heat came out of the dumplings. Along with it was the appetizing and fresh gravy. He could obviously see the oil droplets rolling inside. Meanwhile, the fragrance also stimulated his taste buds following the heat.

The skin of the dumplings or wonton was usually free from any taste. But KFC found the skin of Yuan Zhou’s dumplings not only had a taste, but also tasted chewy.

“Ba Ji, Ba Ji”, along with chewing, the chewy and salty dumpling skin as well as the saline gravy with a hint of sweetness that he had just sipped into his mouth were instantly blended together and formed a wonderful taste.

KFC only had time to look at the dumplings after he hurriedly finished gulping down the gravy. After being sucked, the formerly white and plump dumplings had the fillings wrapped tightly by the skin .

“Now the gravy is gone.” KFC appeared rather complacent about his way of eating without leaking any drops of gravy just now.

Then he dipped the dumpling into the vinegar lightly. While picking the dumpling with the brown chopsticks, he rotated his wrist and dipped lightly in the vinegar with the part where he bit an opening.

“As expected, there is no more gravy.” With a complacent smile, KFC put the remaining dumpling into his mouth unhurriedly.

“Ouch. Si. It’s soooooo hot.” KFC emphasized on the word of “hot” heavily with a lisp.

It was truly scalding. After a full mouthful of the gravy was drunk, there was supposedly no more gravy in the dumpling, thus letting the skin tightly wrap the fillings. When KFC put the entire remaining dumpling into his mouth; however, the situation was not like imagined.

Having bitten through the dumpling, the gravy contained in the fillings then burst out. With the thin and chewy dumpling skin and the abundant gravy as well as the salty texture with a hint of sweetness, the taste was extremely fresh and tasty. The ultimate combination of meat and wheat.

Even if it was so hot, KFC was reluctant to open his mouth. He had only to try his best to make his mouth big and roll the stuff in his mouth. Consequently, his mouth was now full of the fresh and delicious taste of the thin-skinned dumplings. It was scalding, but he still didn’t want to drop it.

On the face of KFC revealed a hesitant expression. Luckily the temperature gradually went down and the dumpling was suitable for being swallowed. KFC chewed it carefully and then gulped down.

“It’s way too delicate and also too scalding.” KFC looked at the dumplings contentedly.

“The dishes we ate last time truly could not represent your genuine craftsmanship,” thinking of the words of Sun Ming, KFC sighed and said.

“Humm, Humm.” Sun Ming was still eating happily at the side. He only chimed in with a nod.

It appeared that he couldn’t speak at all with the full mouthful of the delicious dumplings.

“Because the ingredients are quite different. But I had indeed used all my skills last time.” Yuan Zhou was rather straightforward to his brothers.

His craftsmanship at that time was not as good as right now. Despite the same ingredients, his craftsmanship had improved by two levels thus, of course, the dishes tasted better than before.

“I know, I know,” seeing Yuan Zhou speak so earnestly, Sun Ming answered vaguely with a full mouthful of the food.

When Yuan Zhou found the two persons were satisfied with the dumplings, he began to make the Sweet Osmanthus Sandwiched Yuanxiao.

The method of making Yuanxiao was quite different from that of Tangyuan, therefore Yuan Zhou prepared a large bamboo basket to make them.

After a sound of “Peng”, Yuan Zhou set down a white-jade-like board on which there were many cubes wrapped by a transparent jelly-like thing. Inside of the cubes were sesame seeds and some types of dry fruits, such as finely divided sunflower seeds that were clearly seen.

Of course, the most conspicuous thing in the small cubes was still the sweet osmanthus, which appeared to be fresh. The petals of each flower were clearly seen and brought out the best of each other with the dry fruits inside.

“What’s this?” while inhaling due to the hot dumplings, KFC asked with curiosity.

“Sandwiched sweet osmanthus.” After saying that, Yuan Zhou continued grinding the well dried glutinous rice with the stone mill.

“Beautiful. Are you going to make Tangyuan?” Having eaten up the dumplings, Sun Ming asked curiously.
