Everyone looked at the towering Mount Everest shaved ice and couldn’t help but scream in surprise, subconsciously opening their phones to take photos. 

“Holy crap! I’m 1.8 meters tall and I can’t even see the top!”

“My neck is about to break from looking up.”

Amidst the excited shrieks of the crowd, Luo Huai’an looked at Tan Mengmeng who was standing there, still stunned, and said, “This is the snow mountain shaved ice you wanted.”

“Snow… snow mountain.” Tan Mengmeng was deeply shocked and thought to herself, Okay, this is indeed a snow mountain in the literal sense.

This snow mountain was not only tall, but also incredibly huge. Big Fish somehow found an especially large dining cart and used it to push it out.

This shaved ice was made according to the 3D model of Mount Everest. The entire thing looked like a huge pyramid, with layers upon layers, ups and downs, and countless ravines.

The Mount Everest shaved ice was high and steep, emitting a thick white mist.

Luo Huai’an patiently explained, “Because you asked for snow mountain shaved ice, I wanted to make you a snow mountain that looks impressive, and Mount Everest is the highest snow mountain, so I asked the employee next to me to make a small replica of it.

“The mountain itself is dark, with snow and ice covering the outside. To achieve a realistic look, we used dark chocolate shaved ice for the mountain and white milk shaved ice for the outside.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. It turned out that this thing was not a model, but real edible shaved ice!

“I heard that reaching the summit of Mount Everest is an honor, so I even put a small flag up there.” Luo Huai’an said auspicious words, “I wish you will strive to reach greater heights in your studies and eventually reach the summit.”

After hearing her words, everyone tried to raise their necks to look upwards, and found that there was indeed a small flag flying overhead.

They sighed from the bottom of their hearts. 

“I feel so stupid now! Is this shaved ice made by gods?”

“Wow, this Mount Everest shaved ice is so well-made. The shape is perfect, and the meaning is perfect. It’s truly astonishing.”

Luo Huai’an heard the praise from others, smiled and nodded, then looked at her customer, “Are you satisfied?”

“I’m very, very satisfied. I’m absolutely very satisfied.” Tan Mengmeng recovered from her initial shock and was completely amazed by Mount Everest. “You guys did a great job!”

Who would have thought that the Eighth Cefeteria could make shaved ice to this level??

If there weren’t so many people around, Tan Mengmeng would have even thought of jumping up and down without caring about her image. It was like she thought she was going to get a children’s toy, but Luo Huai’an gave her an actual flying Gundam instead.

After Tan Mengmeng’s excitement, she keenly realized that something was wrong, so she asked doubtfully, “This Mount Everest is great, but how are we supposed to eat it?”

Her classmates were stunned for a long time before finally coming to their senses. Everyone seemed to be ignited, bursting with enthusiasm, and chirping with excitement. 

“Wow, with such a big shaved ice, I feel like I own the world!”

“The crowd watching eagerly is hilarious. This shaved ice is so impressive.”

“Class Monitor is right. If we dig down here, it will definitely collapse.”

“Then snow mountain shaved ice will become avalanche shaved ice, hahaha.”

“I estimate that this shaved ice is at least three meters high and can reach the roof directly. We don’t have a three-meter-tall giant in our school who can get shaved ice from the top.”

Facing the students’ questions, Luo Huai’an smiled. As long as the money was paid, her service would naturally be very thoughtful. She had thought of this problem a long time ago, so now she patted Big Fish’s shoulder and said, “Go get the ladder from under the dining cart.”

Big Fish was frustrated but could only take out a stepladder from under the dining car, unfolded it, and climbed up amid the exclamations of the crowd.

Luo Huai’an explained, “This really can’t be dug from the bottom, so someone needs to do it from above.”

Big Fish took out a big spoon, scooped some shaved ice from the top of the Mount Everest shaved ice, and quickly put it into a tall cup.

Luo Huai’an reached out to take the shaved ice, then handed it to Tan Mengmeng, “This is yours.”

Tan Mengmeng took the shaved ice with cupped hands, her heart and eyes filled with surprise.

When Tan Mengmeng’s classmates saw Big Fish take out the stepladder, they were all shocked by this great victory against adversity and stood there in a daze, thinking it was too outrageous.

But then they thought, This was really the only way to eat it. Otherwise, where could they find someone over three meters tall? Wouldn’t that be like stacking people?

Tan Mengmeng took her shaved ice, picked up a spoon from the dining cart, couldn’t help but take a bite, and her eyes immediately narrowed in satisfaction.

The shaved ice from the Eighth Cafeteria still had the best flavor she has ever tasted, as soft as solidified cotton, as light as marshmallows, and as fluffy as clouds.

The rich flavor of chocolate and milk permeated the texture of the shaved ice, leaving it sweet and fragrant when put it in one’s mouth.

After holding it in one’s mouth for a while, the shaved ice would melt a little and turn into a special state.

This state was one that was worth savoring the most. It had both the rich sweetness of chocolate milk and the soft, coolness of shaved ice. It was an ambiguous state.

Then the shaved ice would melt completely, sliding down one’s throat and into one’s stomach like nothing, bringing a burst of coolness. Every pore in the body would feel incredibly comfortable, and every cell in the body would be clamoring for refreshment.

Tan Mengmeng happily ate the shaved ice, but she didn’t forget her classmates, so she quickly called out, “Please line up according to your student numbers to get the shaved ice.”

The students had been envious for a long time. After hearing what Tan Mengmeng said, they walked to Big Fish with joy.

Without Luo Huai’an taking the initiative to deliver it, they were eager to reach out and take the shaved ice from Big Fish themselves.

Qin Qing also received a portion of the shaved ice. She eagerly took a bite with a spoon and was immediately overwhelmed by the refreshing chocolate milk shaved ice.

“No wonder my classmates praised this shaved ice so much, it really is this delicious.” Qin Qing couldn’t help but blurt out, “But it’s more than just delicious, it’s smoother than popsicles and has more fillings than ice cream. It’s simply the culmination of all that.”

After hearing her words, Tan Mengmeng couldn’t help but nod deeply.
