Chapter 353 The First Cup of Milk Tea

Wen Zhenyi checked the egg tarts and said, "Let them cool down. Try them. They're still too hot right out of the oven."

"It seems we are in for a treat again."

Every time Wen Zhenyi makes new food, he will make a lot more. The teachers in the school will definitely have some, as well as Mr. Cheng, Biaozi, and County Magistrate Meng. In addition, the Ma family, the Song family, and County Magistrate Lei in the county town will also have some that can be preserved for a longer time.

Although Wen Zhenyi had never thought of accepting their money, they all gave him silver, of course this did not include the Ma family.

The oven in this shop is now much larger than the one in town. It can bake a lot of things at a time, which is a lot more convenient.

The things I made this time were not too complicated, so they were not difficult to make. The only thing that took a lot of time was waiting for them to bake.

Wen Zhenyi also used the remaining milk to make a cup of milk tea for each of them.

Old Man Wen took a sip of milk tea and smacked his lips. "This tastes quite unique. It has the flavor of milk, the aftertaste of tea, and the sweetness of sugar."

"Grandpa, I didn't put pearls in it. If I did, it would be bubble milk tea."

Mrs. Wen seemed to remember something: "Yi Yi, did you buy the cow just to make this milk tea?"

"That's half the reason, and the other half is because the pastry shop needs a lot of milk."

"You are going to do a unique business."

"Grandma, this cow is not cheap. I lost several thousand taels of silver this time."

"You are so brave that you dare to do this."

“Life is about struggle.”

Old Lady Wen smiled and shook her head: "It seems that the Han family over there in the wasteland can't understand what we are saying."

"After all, they are not from our country, so it's good enough that they can understand some of it."

"That's true, but it's quite difficult to communicate with them."

Ma Yinghe nodded and said, "I gave them some cloth today and asked them to make their own clothes. I explained it to them and showed them how to make clothes. It took them a long time to understand."

"Mom, take your time. They said that we speak the language very slowly here. I think Master Cheng has tried very hard to help find someone who can speak our language."

"That's right. It would be even more troublesome if I found someone who couldn't even understand what I was saying. Although communication is a bit tiring now, I can still understand a little bit."

Wen Zhenyi drank the milk tea in the bowl and ate the freshly baked egg tarts and small cakes. He felt very comfortable: "I wonder how my brothers are doing."

When Ma Yinghe heard her mention Wen Yongnan, she couldn't help but feel a little worried: "They should have arrived at the provincial capital by now."

Old Man Wen calculated the days and said, "It should be coming soon."

Meanwhile, Shen Hanxing and the others in the distance were now in some trouble.

Lei Jiayang caught a cold on the way, and everyone slowed down their journey to take care of him: "Ahem, I'm sorry! My health has slowed down the journey."

Chen Hanxing looked at Lei Jiayang, who looked apologetic. "That's very polite of you. We've known each other since childhood. Is there any need to say that?"

"It delayed the trip anyway."

Ma Yushun and Wen Yongnan went to the nearby mountains and forests to find some firewood and food, while the others unloaded the things they brought with them from the carriage. They would stay here today.

Meng Yongchun unloaded his belongings from the carriage. "We came out early this time, and it's still early for the Autumn Examination. You don't have to blame yourself."

Lei Jiayang's face was not very good: "I was hoping to settle down soon so I could review my lessons."

Meng Yongyuan put the pots and pans on the ground and said, "Do you lack confidence in yourself or us?"

Lei Jiayang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "I'm afraid that if you fail the exam, you'll blame me."

Meng Yongchun spat on the ground a few times, "Puh, Puh, Puh!" He said, "Shut up your crow mouth and talk nonsense. I am a man of ideals and ambitions."

Lei Jiayang also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he raised his hand and gently hit himself on the mouth: "You deserve a beating, you deserve a beating."

Chen Hanxing took out a water bag and handed it to him: "Drink some water and rest for a while. There is no city nearby, otherwise I would find a doctor to check you out."

Lei Jiayang took the water bag and drank a sip of water: "I can hold on."

"You sleep for a while, we'll call you when it's time for dinner."

Lei Jiayang was indeed a little tired, and fell asleep leaning against a rock beside him.

The sun was still shining brightly on their bodies, and they were sweating profusely even under the shade of the trees.

Meng Yongchun wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve: "This weather is too hot."

Meng Yongyuan fanned himself with his sleeves: "It's summer now, how can it not be hot?"

"I kind of miss the room with the ice."

When Chen Hanxing heard this, he remembered something. He climbed onto the carriage and found a bundle from the corner. Inside was everything Wen Zhenyi had prepared.

I had forgotten about this matter while rushing on the road. When I opened the bag and checked, I found some commonly used medicines inside, all made into pills and sealed with wax.

Wen Zhenyi was afraid that he would take the wrong one, so he carved words on the wax on the outside.

Chen Hanxing found a piece of paper from his bundle. It had Wen Zhenyi's handwriting on it, with the effects of each medicine written on it. In addition, there was some saltpeter powder and some other useful items.

It can be said that she had thought of everything they had not expected and made the best arrangements.

He found some pills for the cold and got off the carriage with the bag of saltpeter.

Meng Yongchun looked at the thing in his hand: "Han Xing, what did you take?"

"Powdered saltpeter."

Meng Yongchun stared at the thing in his hand with wide eyes: "Of course! You even prepared this thing."

"This is not what I prepared."

"Didn't you prepare it?" Meng Yongyuan looked at him with confusion.

"It was prepared by the younger sister of the Wen family."

The Meng Yongyuan brothers felt a little uncomfortable when they heard this. Seeing the upward curve of his lips, they suddenly had the urge to not know him.

Thinking about what their wives had prepared for them, they suddenly envied Shen Hanxing's good luck.

Shen Hanxing took two basins to the river to scoop water, made ice cubes with saltpeter, and placed them next to Lei Jiayang, which made him feel much more comfortable.

He took out another pill and woke Lei Jiayang up: "Jiayang, take the medicine."

Lei Jiayang woke up in a daze. He felt very dizzy and took the pill wrapped in wax from his hand and was about to put it into his mouth.

Chen Hanxing quickly grabbed his hand and said, "There's wax on the outside, wait a moment." Then he took the pill from his hand, squeezed open the wax shell, and handed the pill inside to him.

Meng Yongchun was also shocked when he saw the dark brown pill that suddenly appeared in his hand: "Where did it come from?"

"The younger sister of the Wen family prepared it." Shen Hanxing didn't notice his somewhat constipated expression, stuffed the medicine into Lei Jiayang's mouth, and gave him a few sips of water.
