Chapter 96: The popular drink in Kyoto

In this way, Emperor Jingning and Lord Jiang opened the topic over a cup of pearl milk tea.

The two of them started chatting, talking to each other.

Emperor Jingning calmly tried to answer Lord Jiang's question, wanting to know whether Jiang Cheng brought home more pearl milk tea or Shen Huazheng had someone send more to the palace.

He had already made up his mind that if the Jiang family got a larger share, he would immediately find Shen Huazheng to make up for it.

Of course, he was not greedy for the food, but as the lord of Daliang, how could he be outdone by his subjects?

As a veteran of two dynasties, Lord Jiang quickly sensed the subtle emotions of Emperor Jingning and "inadvertently" mentioned during the conversation that the pearl milk tea that Jiang Cheng brought back was only the size of two bamboo tubes.

After getting the answer, Emperor Jingning took a sip of pearl milk tea with satisfaction.

Hahahaha, he just knew it!!

Lord Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he did not say the wrong thing.

Realizing that they could no longer hear any useful information, several ministers stopped listening with their tired ears.

Listening to the conversation between Your Majesty and Lord Jiang, it seems that Your Majesty got a lot more pearl milk tea. Why didn't he think of giving some to his ministers?

Forget it, forget it. Seeing how His Majesty is guarding his food, it’s impossible to expect him to reward me.

It would be better to go to Yipinlou and have a look, maybe you can buy it there.

Even if it’s not sold in Yipinlou, you can go to Shen Zhaonian to inquire about the situation.

…

In the Imperial College, a group of students were surrounding Shen Kesi and talking at once:

"Brother Boyan, do you add cow's milk or goat's milk to bubble tea? Why doesn't it smell fishy at all?"

"Are there pearls in this drink?"

"It should just be a food called pearls. Pearls are for decoration, how can they be eaten?"

The fragrance was so overbearing that it could be said to be pervasive, as if it wanted to drill into the depths of the soul, leaving no place for escape.

A few people couldn't help it, so they followed the fragrance all the way here, and found Shen Kesi drinking pearl milk tea here.

Shen Kesi: ...

He clearly found a quiet place to drink bubble milk tea, why did so many people suddenly appear around him?

"This drink is made from milk and tea. The pearl balls inside are not the pearls we usually see, but a round and soft ball. The ball is shaped like a pearl, so it is named Pearl."

After hearing Shen Kesi's words, the students around him all had expressions that showed that it was true.

"Boyan, this is the drink made by Miss Shen."

“I didn’t expect the drink Miss Shen made would be so delicious.”

"Not to mention this fragrant drink, even the pearl meatballs that Boyan just ate a mouthful of should be very delicious."

"Brother Shen, is this drink a new product that Yipinlou is going to release soon?"

Shen Kesi: "It should be sold in Yipinlou soon, and there may be other flavors by then."

Not maybe, but definitely there are other flavors.

Ever since they drank pearl milk tea that day, Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng, who originally didn't like sweets, fell in love with this sweet drink.

Today they all brought milk tea to the Imperial College, but the milk tea that Shen Kesi brought had pearls in it, while Shen Keheng's milk tea had milk jelly in it.

On the other side, Shen Keheng, who had just finished class, was about to leave, but was stopped by Dr. Wen.

Shen Keheng felt a little strange. Why did Dr. Wen ask him to do something for no reason?

Could it be that I was drinking milk tea in class just now and was discovered by Dr. Wen?

Thinking of this, Shen Keheng bowed respectfully to Dr. Wen and asked, "Doctor, what do you want from me?"

Dr. Wen, who was always known for his strictness, coughed and said in a serious tone, "The drink you drank in class today was the new drink from Yipinlou?"
