Chapter 644: The Far North, the Kingdom of Snow! (2/2)
After the wine entered his mouth though, the embarrassment on Bai Xiaofei’s face instantly turned into delight. Its taste was simply entirely unexpected!
A mellow milky fragrance mixed with the strong taste of alcohol shot straight to the top of his head. As the wine flowed down into his stomach, warmth flooded into every bit of his body. Fine sweat seeped out from his forehead as just one mouthful chased all the cold out. Even after a long time, the aroma still lingered in his mouth…
Putting down the wine bowl, Bai Xiaofei couldn’t help a long groan. No other wine he had tasted before had given him this refreshing sensation.
“Well, it didn’t let you down, did it?” Leng Liuying laughed with pleasure at his reaction. Her cheery expression put Bai Xiaofei into a trance.
Wine in hand and beauty in front. There was nothing more satisfying in this world than this.
“Awesome, formidable!” Bai Xiaofei kept clicking his tongue as he didn’t know what else to say to praise the wine.
“Your food, Masters!” At that moment, the waiter returned, carrying a tray full of dishes that Bai Xiaofei had never seen before.
This time, Leng Liuying had no plans to wait for Bai Xiaofei. She picked up her chopsticks and got started right away.
Looking at her sister wolfing down the food, Leng Liuli couldn’t help a big smile. Bai Xiaofei joined the table sweeping with Leng Liushuang’s introduction to each dish…
Just like that, their group became a sight to behold for the rest of the inn. Although all of the other guests ate their food in an unrestrained manner, they had to admit that they could never be that ravenous. Some even stopped whatever they were doing and just watched them emptying one tray after another…
When Bai Xiaofei’s group finally stopped, the four people, plus one cat and one dog, collapsed on their chairs. This was definitely the most satisfying meal in the last one month for Bai Xiaofei, and for the triplets, it was the best one in several years. ‘Hometown’ was always a special place for everyone.
At the end of the meal, what impressed Bai Xiaofei most was the dessert ‘fruit,’ as he didn’t know whether this thing could be called a fruit.
Ice Pears, when served, were a few small fish swimming in warm water. After giving them two cuts and taking them out, they would rapidly expand into fist-sized balls due to the low temperature as a way to protect themselves. However, because of the previous cuts, this self-protection turned into suicide. Finally, their meat became the ‘fruit flesh’ and the bones became ‘seeds.’
What Bai Xiaofei could not forget was the unique taste!
Sour, extremely sour, but not the kind like from vinegar. It was like that of lemon that made the limbs numb and made one go through an out-of-body experience. Right after the sour taste, there would be a thick sweetness that filled the mouth. Although Bai Xiaofei had just eaten it, his saliva uncontrollably flowed when he recalled that taste.
In Leng Liushuang’s words, Ice Pears were the Crystal’s Longings of civilians. Its status in the Kingdom of Snow wasn’t at all inferior.
Half-lying in his chair, Bai Xiaofei suddenly giggled. His gaze wandered around as the wind blew the snow outside into his ears.
Kingdom of Snow, exotic land of the far north, here I come!
