Chapter 223 Making Milk Tea

Mrs. Meng said this with a smile on her face.

Her eyes lit up when she thought about going out to sell popsicles.

Old Madam Meng really didn't feel tired. Now she had enough food to eat and money to spend, and she didn't have to worry about the daily affairs of the family.

Her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren are all doing well, and she feels in good spirits.

She now helps Yao Niang manage the workshop. Both the workshop employees and the villagers are polite to her and greet her warmly when they see her.

Whenever there is something to be done, the villagers will come over to help.

In her spare time, she took her clothes to the river to wash them. When the people who were washing clothes with her saw her, they would help her wash after they finished washing.

It feels great. I don’t feel tired while working. It’s as relaxing as playing.

Then there’s the daily food.

If Yao Niang has time to cook, she will make delicious food for them in different ways.

Of course, most of the time, Madam Meng was reluctant to let Yao Niang cook.

She has learned good cooking skills from Yao Niang and can usually make whatever Yao Niang asks her to eat.

She used to always want the Su family to return to the capital, want her son to become the top scholar, and take back everything from the Su family.

But now Mrs. Meng has figured it out. As long as the family can live happily together, it doesn't matter where they are.

Life in the village is not bad.

It would be nice to go to the capital.

Anyway, she didn't bother with it anymore and just followed Yao Niang's arrangements.

Shen Yueyao looked at Madam Meng's spirit and energy, and knew in her heart that there was nothing wrong with Madam Meng's health.

The main thing is that spiritual spring water is added to the water you drink every day, which can strengthen your body and make you look younger.

Even the villagers felt that Madam Meng was getting younger and younger when they saw her.

Shen Yueyao looked at Madam Meng's hair and found that after the treatment, Madam Meng had fewer white hairs.

Her complexion also became much rosier.

He looks energetic and his legs are full of energy when he walks.

After thinking for a while, Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "Okay, then, mother, you accompany Daya and Erya to sell popsicles. Sell them in the village first, and then go to several nearby villages. When you go to the nearby villages, you can drive the ox cart."

The family also had a carriage, but Shen Yueyao gave it to her fourth brother Shen Shaojing.

He is going outside to investigate the market.

Having an ox cart at home is enough.

Fortunately, I earn a lot of money now, and I can afford to provide horses with grass if I have a carriage.

Madam Meng nodded and said, "Okay."

Shen Yueyao took out two boxes to pack popsicles.

Shen Yueyao found materials for this kind of box and asked Zhou Tong to make it for her, and it was usually used for insulation.

It can also be used to hold popsicles so they don’t melt easily.

Shen Yueyao took out a quilt and covered it with it to keep it warm.

"Mom, Da Ya and Er Ya, take them and sell them like this. Lift up the quilt when you take them, and cover them when you're not. This way the popsicles won't melt easily."

Old Madam Meng, Su Daya and Su Erya all nodded seriously.

After Shen Yueyao explained some more things, the two of them prepared to go out.

Dabao and Erbao came over, and Dabao said crisply, "Mom, my brother and I want to go too."

Erbao nodded, "Mom, go sell popsicles."

The two babies are very smart and understood what they said just now. They said they wanted to go with them to sell popsicles, but in fact they just wanted to go out and play with them.

Madam Meng naturally wanted to take her two grandsons with her, but thinking about the hot weather outside, she said, "It's too hot outside. Will I get heatstroke?"

Shen Yueyao also shook her head and said, “You are still young. If the weather is hot, try not to go out at noon. If you go out to sell popsicles at night, you can follow.”

"Mom plans to go to your grandparents' house this afternoon. If I get heatstroke, I won't be able to take you with me. What do you think?"

When Shen Yueyao spoke to the two treasures, she always spoke in an equal tone. She would not say no sternly, but would discuss with them.

Let them learn to make their own decisions.

Dabao thought about it, turned to Erbao and said, "Brother, let's not go out. We can go to grandma and grandpa's house in the afternoon."

Erbao nodded, "Yeah."

Looks well-behaved.

Shen Yueyao smiled and touched their hair and said, "You are so good. Mom will make milk tea for you later."

As she spoke, Shen Yueyao looked at Madam Meng and Daya and Erya and said, "Popsicles are delicious, but milk tea is also delicious. We can make milk tea later."

Now that we have money at home, we are willing to buy tea.

The main reason is that tea was expensive in that era and ordinary people could not afford it at all.

With tea leaves and milk, you can make milk tea.

I still remember that when Shen Yueyao first got milk, she wanted to make milk tea.

But at that time, our family conditions were not very good and we couldn't afford to buy tea.

Now, we can buy tea whenever we want at home.

When they heard the word "milk tea", Mrs. Meng and the others didn't understand what it meant.

But they understand that anything made by Yao Niang must be delicious.

Then Mrs. Meng, Su Daya and Su Erya went to sell popsicles.

Shen Yueyao was preparing to make lunch and had to go to town in the afternoon.

The main purpose of going to the town is to buy land. We buy the land between the village and the town to build workshops and commercial streets.

By the way, there is no one selling milk in the town.

You can use milk to make milk tea.

But when thinking of milk, Shen Yueyao also thought of goat milk.

In fact, you can also make milk tea with goat milk.

Shen Yueyao's expression changed, and she went out to a house at the back of the village.

This is where Lin and her daughter Lin Daying live.

At the beginning, it was because Shen Yueyao saw Lin Daying driving sheep home. Shen Yueyao wanted to buy goat milk for her family to drink to supplement nutrition. That's how she got to know Lin Daying and her mother Lin.

On weekdays, Shen Yueyao would often buy a bucket of goat milk and cook it for her family to drink.

When they first started collecting duck eggs, Shen Yueyao wanted to help the mother and daughter, so she would come to their house to collect duck eggs.

Of course, Lin is now working in a workshop and has become a manager. Every month, she can take home a few taels of silver including bonuses, and the lives of both mother and daughter have improved.

Lin usually works in the workshop, and her thirteen-year-old daughter Lin Daying is busy taking care of everything at home.

Just look at the sheep and feed the chickens and ducks.

Ever since he knew that Shen Yueyao was collecting duck eggs, Lin Daying has been using the eggs to hatch ducklings. Now the ducks are half grown up, and it is estimated that in more than a month, these ducks will be able to lay eggs.

Anyway, she makes preserved eggs, so anyone in the village who has duck eggs can send them to her, and she will pay them in copper coins on the spot.

Therefore, the old people in the village could not go to the workshop to work. They could earn some copper coins by feeding ducks and collecting duck eggs on weekdays.

When Shen Yueyao went there, Lin Daying was picking cucumbers in the yard.

Lin Daying looked at Shen Yueyao and said excitedly: "Auntie, you are here!"

Lin Daying looked at Shen Yueyao as if she were a benefactor, with a bright luster in his eyes.

"Daying, are you picking cucumbers?"

Lin Daying nodded and said, "Well, the yard is big, so I thought of growing some vegetables in it. My mother and I are used to growing onions and cucumbers in the yard so that we can cook them in the summer."

It’s hot in the summer, which is a good time to eat cucumbers. It tastes great when you mix two cucumbers together.

Even though life is better now, Lin and Lin Daying are still frugal when eating.

Shen Yueyao could see that the yard had been renovated and was much better than before. A wall had also been built. Now that the yard was bigger, she could grow more vegetables.

People in the village are used to growing some vegetables in the yard, which makes it convenient to eat them without having to go to the vegetable garden to pick them.

The yard of Lin Daying's house is full of vegetables, but it is kept very clean and does not look messy at all.

Although their family raises a lot of chickens and ducks, the yard is also clean, which shows that the yard is cleaned regularly.

Shen Yueyao admired Lin Daying very much, as he was capable and clean at such a young age.

The little girl has clear eyes and is a diligent and intelligent girl.
