Chapter 474: Milk tea is delicious, but don't drink too
ne now, with no one to rely on. I really want to go complain to the King of Hell!”"It's a pity that the rain didn't come, and my two mu of land at home died of drought! This old bones of mine can't...As for Wenjuan, she squatted on the ground, watching with her own eyes as saltpeter was added to the large basin in front of her. The water in the smaller basin in the middle instantly froze.
She widened her eyes in surprise, covering her mouth tightly, and looked at her younger sister with astonishment in her eyes.
She has only been married for a few months! Is it possible for her, as a granddaughter-in-law, to know the secret recipe for making ice
"Little Funiu, sister-in-law won't see anything today. You can rest assured, sister-in-law won't say a word. I'll go call grandma in..."
Wénjuān was terrified, she got up and was about to go out, but Jiāyīn pulled her back, "Sister-in-law, just relax, Grandma knows, and Uncle and the others transport seafood, they've always been making ice like this.
"
"You're the second brother's wife, family! Just don't let anyone else know, okay We still need to use this method to make money!"
Wenjuan was struck in the heart by the three words "our own family." She took a deep breath and nodded resolutely, "Sister, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Jiao Yin giggled and pointed outside, saying, “Second Brother can still tell. If Second Sister-in-law is pregnant, just let Second Brother make ice for you. Grandma said that pregnant women shouldn't be chilled.”
Wenjuan's face flushed red. She didn't dare to continue the topic and quickly urged her younger sister to assign her some work.
Jia Yin gave the red mung beans to her, and put them in boiling water. They soon cooked through, becoming soft and glutinous. She served them on a plate next to her.
Then, boil the brown sugar and black tea, add milk, simmer for half a quarter of an hour, finally filter out the tea leaves, pour into a cup, add a spoonful of red bean paste, stir well.
Jia Yin tried to take a sip.
The sweetness is just right, the tea flavor is fragrant, the milk flavor is rich and mellow, and the red bean paste is also smooth and tender.
Although there's no pearl, I still feel like something is missing.
But for the time being, I couldn't find tapioca starch and couldn't make dumplings. Let's just use red bean paste as a substitute!
Luckily, the taste is not bad either. When you're a little hungry or sleepy, having a cup definitely helps satisfy your hunger and wake you up.
Wen Juan was still a little hesitant, after all, good quality tea leaves and red sugar milk didn't seem to go well together no matter how she looked at it.
But her sister-in-law's expression was too much to enjoy, she couldn't help but gather her courage and take a bite.
After she finished drinking, Wenjuan's eyes lit up.
She wanted to say something but couldn't, so she could only take another sip and savor it carefully before saying, "This is too good! It's more mellow than tea and doesn't have that milky flavor. I thought it would taste weird, but it's completely different!"
Jia Yin pulled her and started making fruit drinks again.
Actually, fruit drinks are simpler. Just mash some wild strawberries, mix them with honey, add some chilled white rice wine and a few ice cubes.
Jia Yin did want to make something decent, but there wasn't even a passion fruit here. She could only work with what she had.
These wild strawberries grew on the hills nearby. I saw someone selling them in broad daylight. They were so bright red and beautiful, and this whole basket only cost ten cash! What a bargain.
But this thing is a fake, it looks good and cheap, but it's especially sour, even children don't easily eat it.
However, she specially added honey to neutralize it, and with the coolness of ice, the finished product turned out to be surprisingly delicious...
Li Lao San and Jia Huan walked in front, Zhao Yuru holding Tao Hongying's hand behind them, the four of them walked back from the cafeteria laughing and chatting.
As soon as they entered, they saw Old Madam Li by the kitchen doorway. All four of them were puzzled. Zhao Yuru quickly stepped forward and asked, "Mother, why haven't you slept yet What are you doing here"
Li Lao Tai smiled and replied, "What good things are Jia Yin and Wen Juan whispering about I'll help guard the door. When we make money, I want them to give me a share!"
Li Laotai was, of course, joking, but everyone laughed.
Just then, the kitchen door opened and Wenjuan emerged with an excited flush on her face. In her hands she carried a tray holding several small porcelain bowls.
Jia Yin smiled and followed beside him, after a serious cough she said: "The shop is opening today, please feel free to try the milk tea and iced drinks for free. If you happen to pass by, don't miss out!"
Everyone laughed even harder.
This young boss is probably unique even in the whole Tianwu.
Zhao Yuru bent down and picked up her little niece, smiling and saying, "Oh my, our Little Boss Fu Niu'er is so fast! In just half a day, she opened a new store"
Li Lao San also rubbed his niece's head, while Jia Huan took the tray from his wife's hands and led the whole family into the house.
She offered a precious treat like sweet music, serving milk tea to her grandmother and mother, as well as her aunt. For her uncle and older brother, she served icy fruit drinks.
The remaining few cups were left for Grandma He, Shui Ling, and Xiaoyue to choose from freely.
As expected, milk tea was a hit with the older girls, and Li Lao San and Jia Huan finished the iced drinks in one gulp.
"Are we going to sell this at the canteen" Li Laosan was the first to speak, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "I was thinking of buying a few more tea sets, but now it seems I won't need to."
Jia Yin quickly went over and hugged San Bo's leg, "San Bo, we definitely need to buy a cup, and it has to be pretty, and big!"
Li Laosan was very obedient to his young niece and immediately nodded. "Okay, Uncle Three will take you drawing in a while. Whatever you want, Uncle Three will make it!"
Zhao Yuru, in charge of the money box, was more concerned about the cost issue and chatted with her daughter-in-law for a long time.
Finally, everyone agreed that this small business was viable. The costs were low, but the profit margins were high enough.
It's mainly about the taste, which is good. In the cafeteria, students can drink it if they want to, and there's no loss if they don't.
Jia Yin and San Bo went to draw some mug and teapot designs, and when they came back, they found that their mother and aunt had already finished two more cups of milk tea.
Luckily, Grandma was afraid of getting up at night, so she didn't have a second cup.
Jia Yin's big eyes crinkled at the corners, her mouth covered as if she were trying to hold back words...
Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Laosan went to the canteen to get busy. Jia Huan also hurried back to the city.
Wen Juan brought He Grandma a few to make breakfast, Li Laotai and Jia Yin washed up clean, just sat beside the dining table, they saw Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru yawning, walked out from the room.
Grandma Li was incredibly surprised. She thought all her daughters-in-law had gone to the dining hall.
Only Jia Yin laughed mischievously. Tao Hongying stepped forward and pretended to interrogate her, saying, "You little rascal, tell me, was that milk tea too strong last night Was there too much tea leaf I stayed up later than usual last night, at least half an hour."
Zhao Yuru also said, “That’s right, I was sewing by lamplight and only when I had finished an extra shoe sole did I feel tired.”
Jia Yin was gently slapped on the buttocks by her mother. Li Lao Tai, who felt sorry for her granddaughter, quickly took Jia Yin and said, “You two had too much to drink! You don't usually drink tea very often, so suddenly drinking so much will definitely affect your sleep. Besides, my granddaughter concocted this milk tea, it's not for you to drink, it has a big use!”
A few days ago, Jiarren came back for dinner and said that during evening classes, he dozed off and almost knocked over his inkstone. He was scolded by the teacher. Also, Jiahuan and Jiaxi always say they get hungry during evening classes, but the teacher only lets them drink water and not eat anything.
"Think about it, if they could have a cup of this milk tea, wouldn't they be full and energized"
Jia Yin was pleasantly surprised. She turned around and gave her grandmother a big kiss, overwhelmed with excitement. “Grandma, woohoo! You know me best! It’s because of this!”
Mrs. Li laughed triumphantly, “Of course! My granddaughter is the most caring. Others only see how our boys take care of their little sister, but who knows, my granddaughter takes good care of her brothers too.”meet with Madam [Son's Wife]...”The Emperor glared at Yi, the Chief Steward, and said with a smile, “Sly one! Whatever you say comes out polished and coated, dressed up nicely before you’ll speak it.”...
