<h4>Chapter 1344: Gao Dawei</h4>


    The person who came out was arge man who was almost as rotund as a ball. He wore a white uniform and a white hat. At first nce, he looked like a chef, but upon closer inspection, there were some differences.


    “This is our boss, Mr. Gao Dawei,” the store assistant introduced.


    “How should wepete?” Ya’er asked Gao Dawei.


    “I’ve recently developed a few types of chocte. Try them together. Whoever can tell what ingredients I used will win if they guess correctly. If you don’t, you will be eliminated.” When Gao Dawei saw that Sweetie and Ya’er were staring at him, he hurriedly exined, “Don’t worry. The taste test this time ispletely free. Whether you win or lose, you don’t have to pay a single cent.”


    “That’s more like it. What if both of us are right?” Ya’er asked.


    “It’s not that easy. I know the chocte I made. Even I wouldn’t be able to tell if I hadn’t eaten them in advance,” Gao Dawei said. “Don’t worry, just eat it. I don’t think either of you will be able to get it all right.”


    As he spoke, Gao Dawei entered the back room and soon brought out a te of chocte.


    Zhou Wen wasn’t usually fond of snacks. His impression of chocte was still those of ck squarish bars.


    However, the te of chocte that Gao Dawei brought out was different from the chocte in Zhou Wen’s memory.


    The chocte was in the shape of a puppy, a gentleman ying a piano, and a chocte that seemed to have ayer of snow over it. They looked exquisite.


    Ya’er and Sweetie’s gazes were also attracted by the unique-looking chocte. They looked eager to taste it.


    Gao Dawei was very pleased with the three people’s reaction. He said proudly, “For absolute fairness, you have to taste the same kind of chocte at the same time. Then, write your answer on a piece of paper and give it to me. I’ll be the judge.”


    Gao Dawei got the shop assistant to bring paper, pen, and a knife specially used to cut chocte.


    “I call the first chocte Snowy Mountain. Please try it.” Gao Dawei personally cut two pieces of the snow-covered spherical chocte and ced them on a small te before handing them to Ya’er and Sweetie.


    Zhou Wen saw that sandwiched within the chocte was white puffing that flowed out—it seemed to be ice cream.


    Ya’er and Sweetie each tasted it. It was delicious. They finished it in a few chomps. Then, the two of them seemed to have an answer. They looked at each other and turned their heads. With their backs facing each other, they found a table and wrote their answers on the paper.


    They almost finished writing the answer at the same time and handed them to Gao Dawei.


    Gao Dawei took a closer look at their answers and nodded. “Not bad, both of you got it right. Apart from the cocoa and sugar in the chocte, Snowy Mountain also uses condensed milk, honey, hazelnuts, and ice cream. You even managed to tell the dates that I used in extremely small amounts. Not bad, it seems that your sense of taste is very sensitive. However, don’t get haughty. This is just the simplest and most basic one. Most people can taste it. The onester are each more difficult than thest. It won’t be that easy to guess.”


    Seeing that Ya’er and Sweetie didn’t respond, Gao Dawei had no choice but to cough lightly to ease the awkwardness. He picked another chocte and said, “This chocte is called Nature’s Pianist. It’s mytest invention. Try it.”


    Zhou Wen sized up the chocte curiously. The pianist, bench, and piano formed an exquisite piece of art. It was a pity to eat it.


    It was hard to imagine that such exquisite chocte was made by a rotund man like Gao Dawei.


    After the previous round, Zhou Wen had gained a little understanding of chocte. The suit, bench, and piano were likely made from ordinary chocte.


    The person’s skin and piano’s white keys were likely made from milk.


    Zhou Wen also knew that it was definitely not that simple. It was impossible for Gao Dawei to pose such a simple problem.


    Sniffing, Zhou Wen seemed to detect a familiar smell. He carefully looked at the dark-colored chocte and immediately made a discovery.


    <i>There seems to be something mixed in those dark areas.</i>?Zhou Wen only knew that there was something mixed in, but he didn’t know what it was. Although the taste was a little familiar, he couldn’t remember where he had tasted it before.


    Ya’er and Sweetie both ate the chocte that Gao Dawei had cut. Their faces were filled with satisfaction and happiness. One could imagine how delicious this chocte must be.


    This time, Sweetie immediately wrote the answer, but Ya’er hesitated.


    Zhou Wen wasn’t worried that Ya’er would lose. He was just wondering what Sweetie was up to.


    Ya’er lowered her head and thought for a while before finally writing down her answer. Meanwhile, Sweetie had already handed the answer to Gao Dawei.


    Gao Dawei was surprised by their answers. “Cream and butter taste great, but they can easily mask other vors. Most people’s taste buds are affected by the taste of chocte and cream at the same time. Coupled with the rum and the cocoa powder sprinkled over it, it forms aplicatedbination, making it difficult to notice the hint of ck truffle hidden in it. Most people know that there is no ck truffle in ck truffle chocte, but I did the opposite and deliberately added a small amount of ck truffle. I didn’t expect you to taste it. What good taste buds you have.”


    Only then did Zhou Wen remember that the familiar taste was ck truffle. Once, Ouyang Lan had taken him out for a meal, and there were a few kes of ck truffle. Ouyang Lan had specially picked some for Zhou Wen to taste and told him that they were called ck truffles.


    However, Zhou Wen’s mind wasn’t on eating at that time. He was only thinking about how to clear the dungeons when he returned. Therefore, his memory was too vague. Furthermore, he ate very little—just a few thin slices—so he almost couldn’t recall it.


    “It won’t be easy for you to guess the next chocte.” Gao Dawei seemed very confident as he cut open the puppy-shaped chocte.


    He was rather careful when he sliced it, as though he was trying his best to control the cut. Then, he handed the two pieces of chocte to Ya’er and Sweetie.


    Due to their previous two experiences, Ya’er and Sweetie had greater anticipation for the next chocte. The moment they received it, they couldn’t wait to bite it.


    However, after the two of them took two bites, their expressions changed. They chewed slower and slower. Almost at the same time, they spat out the chocte they had eaten.


    “Ya’er, are you alright?” Although Zhou Wen didn’t eat it, he knew that something was wrong with the chocte when he smelled it. He couldn’t help but stare at Gao Dawei, prepared to attack at any moment.
