Chapter 223: Rice Wine Balls
Xu Yan put the ice behind Hu Tao and forgave Hu Tao for ignoring her.
After this episode, the five of them went shopping in the specialty snack street together, and Xu Yuan also got to know Hu Tao again.
Xu Yuan walked in front, Hu Tao and Xu Yan walked side by side in the middle, and Xue Li and Xiao Yuan walked at the end.
Hu Tao looked at Xu Yan who was standing beside him and asked, "Annie, why are you here? Didn't you always go to those activities before?"
Xu Yan pointed at Xu Yuan who was holding a bag of sauce biscuits in front of him and said, "I originally wanted to go watch the game, but as soon as she saw these foods when she went out, she pulled Xiao Yuan and me over."
"I see." said Walnut.
Xu Yan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Why are you and Xue Li here? If I remember correctly, this place is not close to your Wangsheng Hall."
"We are here to eat something delicious. Do you want to join us?" Walnut replied.
Hearing Hu Tao say this, Xu Yan instantly became interested. She was a little curious about what kind of delicious food Hu Tao had come so far to eat. So she asked, "Delicious food? What is it?"
Walnut pretended to be mysterious and said, "The store is not far from here. I'll tell you when we get there. I guarantee you'll like it too."
Hearing this, Xu Yan showed an expectant look on his face, and said, "I'm actually looking forward to it since you said that."
Walnut said confidently: "That one has the best taste and texture I've ever had. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Okay, I'll go tell the other one." After saying that, Xu Yan quickly walked towards Xu Yuan.
Xu Yan understood that as long as Xu Yuan agreed, Xiao Yuan would agree, and Xu Yuan was very easy to talk to now.
This was indeed the case. As soon as Xu Yuan heard Xu Yan say that there was delicious food, he nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
After Xu Yuan was dealt with, Xiao Yuan naturally agreed.
So the five of them walked towards the store that Walnut mentioned.
It was only a five-minute walk, but because Xu Yuan saw some snacks he had never seen before, he went to the stall to buy some food, which resulted in the walk taking a lot longer.
Hu Tao looked at Xu Yuan who had been eating non-stop and was somewhat surprised. At the same time, she asked with some concern, "Annika ate so much. Is she really okay?"
"Don't worry, she won't continue eating if she can't eat anymore. Although she looks a little stupid now, she is not that stupid." Xu Yan patted Hu Tao's shoulder and said.
After saying this, Xu Yan thought that she had never seen Xu Yuan full before. She thought that maybe she could give it a try to see how much Xu Yuan had to eat to feel full.
Xue Li, who was standing by, was a little surprised to see Xu Yuan eat so much, but he quickly accepted it. After all, this was a different world.
The five-minute walk took half an hour and the five people arrived at an open-air restaurant that made rice dumplings.
The restaurant consists of more than ten tables and chairs placed outside and a kitchen with glass on all four sides.
The tables belonging to this open-air restaurant were almost full of people, which showed that the food in this restaurant was definitely very good.
Walnut saw that there was not a single empty table and said, "There are so many people. It will probably take a while."
Xu Yan had eaten the glutinous rice balls in the kingdom, and could only say that they were average, not delicious, but not terrible either. So when she saw Hu Tao bringing them to a glutinous rice ball restaurant, she asked, "Is this what you call delicious?"
"Yes, the rice dumplings made with fermented glutinous rice wine here are especially delicious. We come here to eat them every Christmas and New Year." Hu Tao nodded.
Xue Li also said at this time: "The rice dumplings made from this restaurant are rich and sweet, with a unique aroma of wine and an endless aftertaste. The dumplings are soft and glutinous, and have a delicate taste. It is indeed a delicacy."
After hearing that they were eating rice dumplings made with fermented rice wine, Xiao Yuan and Xu Yan's faces changed slightly.
This one contains wine, which means Xu Yuan can’t eat it.
Xu Yuan didn’t care about all that now. She smelled the fragrance in the store and thought the food inside must be delicious.
Xue Li noticed the changes in Xiao Yuan and Xu Yan's expressions and asked, "Miss Diana, Miss Annie, what's wrong?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan said, "Xiao Yuan can't eat anything related to alcohol."
"That's okay. The other dumplings in this shop are delicious too." Hu Tao thought for a moment and said.
At this moment, Xu Yan suddenly thought of a question, looked at Xiao Yuan, and asked, "Xiao Yuan, can I have some rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice?"
Hearing Xu Yan's question, Xiao Yuan thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
Hearing this, Xu Yan was a little surprised and said, "You don't know either, then I'll order a small portion and try it later."
While the four of them were talking, Xu Yuan had already taken a bowl of rice dumplings made with fermented glutinous rice from the kitchen of the open-air restaurant, stood aside, and started eating without paying.
Before long, a table became vacant, and the four of them discovered that Xu Yuan was no longer around.
There is a huge gap in strength between Xu Yan, Xiao Yuan and Xu Yuan, so Xu Yuan was able to leave quietly.
Therefore, every time they go out, Xiao Yuan or Xu Yan will hold Xu Yuan's hand so that they can discover her movements in time.
Ever since Xu Yuan woke up, he has become very greedy and sometimes not so obedient.
Just like today, when she saw food, Xu Yuan broke free from their hands and went to eat. Xiao Yuan and Xu Yan had no choice but to follow her and stare at her closely.
Now the two of them were careless for a moment, and Xu Yuan slipped away.
Xu Yan and Xiao Yuan soon spotted Xu Yuan standing next to the kitchen eating glutinous rice balls with fermented rice, and hurried over.
Hu Tao asked Xue Li to occupy the table, and then walked over with Xu Yan and Xiao Yuan.
When Xiao Yuan and Xu Yan arrived at Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan had already finished two bowls of rice dumplings made with fermented glutinous rice and was eating the third bowl, with a slightly red face.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan was a little surprised. She didn't expect Xu Yuan could eat so much.
After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Yuan felt that it might be because after drinking Marshal Tianpeng's fruit wine, Xu Yuan had developed a certain resistance to it, so he didn't get drunk.
Xiao Yuan took the rice dumplings from Xu Yuan's hand, then took out a piece of strawberry cake and handed it to her, saying, "Xiao Yuan, you can't eat that. This is for you."
Xu Yuan was a little unhappy that her fermented glutinous rice balls were taken away, but her mood returned to normal after she saw Xiao Yuan gave her a piece of strawberry cake.
Seeing that Xu Yuan was fine after eating so many fermented rice dumplings, Xu Yan whispered, "It seems that if I eat less, I will be fine."
Walnut arrived later and started preparing to take orders.
At this time, Xiao Yuan told Hu Tao that Xu Yuan had just eaten two bowls of rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice, and then told her that she didn't need to order her own and Xu Yuan's, as Xu Yuan's bowl was enough for her.
In response, Hu Tao nodded in agreement and only ordered three bowls of glutinous rice balls in wine.
After the four of them finished eating the rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice, they paid and left. The money they paid included the money for the two bowls of rice that Xu Yuan had eaten earlier.
Xu Yan and Xiao Yuan took Xu Yuan, who was feeling a little sleepy after eating rice wine dumplings, back home.
