Chapter 92 White Peach Milk Tea

"That's impossible. We've worked so hard for so long, but now let's put it this way. How can this be possible..." Xu Qingmeng said.

"Mrs. Gu, don't be polite. We'll leave now." Uncle Li Quan left with his men as soon as he finished speaking.

Xu Qingmeng couldn't stop him, so he could only give up and thought about asking He to send some braised food to Uncle Quan's house later.

On the way back, Xu Qingmeng passed by the market. It was peach season, and there were several stalls selling peaches.

Xu Qingmeng looked at the peaches, each of which was very big. When he got closer, he could smell the sweet peach fragrance.

"Madam, these peaches have just been picked and are very fresh. Do you want to pick a few?" said the aunt selling peaches happily.

"How do you sell these peaches?" Xu Qingmeng asked.

"Two cents apiece, and the wife will be indecent."

Xu Qingmeng pinched the peach and found it was still quite hard and could be kept for several days, so she said, "Auntie, give me twenty peaches first."

"Okay!" The aunt selling peaches immediately smiled, then picked out ten plump peaches and handed them to Xu Qingmeng.

"Auntie, do you have enough peaches? Do you want fresh ones? How many do you want?"

"Yes, these are all grown in my own peach orchard. I have as many as you want," the aunt said excitedly.

"Then Auntie, please help me deliver a basket to Gu's Restaurant on West Street tomorrow. But I have to make it clear that I don't want anything that's not fresh."

"Don't worry, they are guaranteed to be plump and fresh."

There are many things that can be made from peaches. In addition to eating them directly, you can also make peach jam, peach juice, white peach milk tea, peach cake, dried peaches, and peach wine.

This pastry shop is about to open, so I can make some peach jam, which can be used for pastries.

Of course, the peach wine cannot be missed. If the peaches that the aunt sends tomorrow are good, you can ask her to send more and make some jam. If you miss the peach season, there will be none left, but you can keep the jam.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, Xu Qingmeng wants to make some white peach milk tea. It tastes great whether it is cold or hot.

This white peach milk tea is not difficult to make, but although we have the peaches, we still need some milk.

Xu Qingmeng walked around the market thoroughly and finally found an old man selling milk at a stall at the back.

"Grandpa, how much do you sell this milk for?"

"This small bucket costs sixty cents."

"What?" Xu Qing had imagined that it would be more expensive, but he had never imagined it would be this expensive. This small bucket only weighed two kilograms at most, but it was priced at sixty cents.

The old man looked at Xu Qingmeng's surprised expression and explained, "Currently, there is a shortage of milk, so this price is really not expensive."

Xu Qingmeng calculated in her mind that this milk tea did not require much milk. Although it was a bit expensive, she did not plan to sell it in the Gu family restaurant. She would definitely sell it in a dim sum shop, and the price would certainly not be cheap.

Now I just want to make some for everyone to try.

"Master, I'll take this small bucket."

"Okay, if you want to buy more in the future, you can come to Yunshui Lane on West Street and find Wang Daniu's house."

Xu Qingmeng agreed with a smile and went back with the bamboo basket.

The method of making white peach milk tea is very simple. Now that her family is drinking it, she plans to make the milk flavor stronger. If she wants to sell it later, she can make the peach flavor stronger and the milk flavor lighter.

Xu Qingmeng bought twenty peaches. She set aside some for everyone to eat, and used half of the remaining peaches to make jam and the other half to make white peach milk tea.

This first pot was just an experiment, so Xu Qingmeng only cut one peach.

Raw milk needs to be boiled, otherwise the bacteria cannot be killed.

Xu Qingmeng first boiled the milk, then put tea leaves and sugar into the pot, stir-fried until melted, and then added the chopped peach pulp. At this time, the sweet peach aroma had mixed with the fragrance of the tea leaves, and it smelled particularly good.

Xu Qing dreamed that the stir-fry was almost done, so he added a proper amount of water until the sound of "gurgling" was heard in the pot, and finally poured in the cooked milk.

The moment the milk was poured in, the aroma of milk mixed with the fragrance of peaches permeated the air. Xu Qingmeng sniffed subconsciously. Needless to say, she was really craving for milk tea.

"Sister-in-law, what delicious food are you making? I smelled it at the door." Yun Sheng came back from outside skipping.

"It's delicious. Here are some peaches. Wash them and share them with brother and Rongrong. I'll call you when I'm done."

"Uh-huh."

As Xu Qingmeng spoke, she kept stirring the pot with a large soup spoon. This step is often the easiest, but also easily overlooked, but also the most important.

After the milk tea was ready, Xu Qingmeng scooped it into six small bowls. Since it was just an experiment and he didn't know if it would be successful, the amount was relatively small, with only two sips in each bowl at most.

He and the others are busy now, while Yun Sheng and the others are waiting by the side, each holding a peach.

"Sister-in-law, this smells so good!"

Xu Qingmeng placed the white peach milk tea on the table: "Yun Sheng, this is delicious, a little hot, go and call your eldest brother and Brother Xun to come and drink it together."

"Uh-huh."

Yun Sheng ran out quickly and came back soon.

This little girl is a foodie. She couldn't walk just by smelling the food. She squinted her eyes, picked up the bowl, and took a small sip. The sweet taste hit her taste buds directly, sweet and fragrant, much better than the sugar water.

Regardless of the heat, Yun Sheng drank the rest, then turned to Xu Qingmeng and shouted, "Sister-in-law, this is the best water I have ever tasted. It's the best in the world!"

Xu Qingmeng was amused by Yun Sheng's funny appearance: "Okay, sister-in-law knows."

"Sister-in-law, I think it tastes really good too, even better than sugar water."

"Yeah, it's just too little." Rongrong also said.

Thank you. After successfully trying out the White Peach Milk, Xu Qingmeng cooked the rest and let everyone have a taste. She then asked Gu Yunyi to send some to the Huang Mansion.

"There's more. It'll be ready later. You can drink it later."

"Really? Can I still drink it?"

"Of course, sister-in-law is the kind of person who doesn't keep her word, right?"

"Yeah, that's great!" The three children danced with joy.

Xu Qingmeng planned to make jam as well.

She first peeled the remaining peaches, and then cut the flesh into small pieces.

Put the cut peaches in a bowl and add an appropriate amount of white sugar. The amount of sugar depends on the sweetness of the peaches. If the peaches are very sweet, you can put less sugar.

Then use a spoon to stir evenly so that the surface of the peaches is coated with sugar.
