Chapter 226: Bubble Milk Tea, the little friends love it
Doudou raised his hand: "I agree, it's really delicious."
Yaya licked the corners of her lips happily, and looked forward to the arrival of milk the next morning.
An hour later, it was 9:10 in the morning.
Jiang Zhizhi was in a very good mood today. Seeing the fresh milk on the table, she suddenly felt like making some pearl milk tea.
Let Lu Xingchen have a taste of the new food.
She took out tapioca starch from the space and chose brown sugar over black sugar. After all, the supply and marketing cooperative only sold brown sugar at that time.
First, clean the iron pot, pour clean water into the pot, then light a fire in the stove and boil the brown sugar until it melts.
At this time, the brown sugar water is boiling, and there is no need to use fire.
Then pour the tapioca flour into the pot in two batches. To cook the flour, Jiang Zhizhi adds the tapioca flour while stirring. When it becomes a paste, take out the batter and knead it on a clean dough mat. The difficulty at this time is that the batter is very hot, so you have to knead it quickly. After kneading it into long strips, cut it into small pieces and knead it into round small pearls.
Take out another bowl, sprinkle some tapioca flour on it, put the small pearls in the bowl and shake it. This step is to prevent them from sticking.
After finishing this step, Jiang Zhizhi started to make milk tea and pearls. Tea was already available at home.
Jiang Zhizhi happily cooked a big pot of pearl milk tea.
At this moment, Xue Li came to Jiang Zhizhi with some fresh milk. She divided the milk into three portions, leaving one for Gu Qingpei, one for Jiang Zhizhi, and the remaining a little for her to taste.
Half a pound is too much. She can't finish it by herself.
Moreover, she had never drunk milk before, and she knew that milk was very expensive, so she wanted to give it to Zhizhi first.
It was just that she arrived at the right time. Jiang Zhizhi had just brought out the milk tea to the reclining chair and waved enthusiastically: "Come here, Xueli, there are delicious drinks!"
Xueli's nose moved slightly, the fragrance of tea wafted in, and a curious light flashed in her eyes.
Just as he finished speaking, Nong Chunhua came to visit with two heads of cabbage, and the Baozis brought a large bundle of firewood, eager to share the joy of drinking milk with Aunt Zhizhi.
"Sister Zhi, the cabbages are very fresh today. I picked one for you and Xueli."
The buns: "Wow, what a smell, so fragrant."
Jiang Zhizhi laughed out loud: "You came just in time. I don't have to deliver it to you personally. Come and try the bubble milk tea I made."
The group was stunned. What...what is pearl milk tea?
Where did the pearls come from?
Jiang Zhizhi went to the kitchen and got five bowls, filling each of them with pearl milk tea for Xueli, Chunhua, the big bun, the small bun, and the small bean bun. "Pearls are made from tapioca starch, and they are very chewy when you bite them. Taste it."
Xue Li's heart was pounding, her cheeks flushed, and she raised the fresh milk in her hand: "Is this what it's made of?"
Zhizhi likes to sleep in and is not seen until 10 o'clock in the morning.
That's why Xueli waited until around nine o'clock before coming over.
But she didn't know that Zhizhi had also ordered milk, so she didn't know how to ask for it.
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and pinched Xueli's palm-sized face, then said bluntly, "For me?"
Xueli nodded obediently: "I want to drink with you."
Jiang Zhizhi's voice was filled with joy: "Thank you, Xueli. Let's drink together. You buy me fresh milk and I'll buy you pearl milk tea. Come on, try it and see if it tastes good."
"Okay, thank you Zhizhi." A warm feeling surged in Xueli's heart. She poured fresh milk into the empty bowl, then took the pearl milk tea handed to her by Jiang Zhizhi with both hands and drank the first sip with great care.
The light aroma of tea mixed with the aroma of milk, the delicate and smooth milk tea slid across the tip of her tongue, and the sweet taste made her intoxicated.
She took another bite of the round pearls and her eyes lit up instantly. They were so chewy and bouncy. Sydney couldn't resist such delicious pearl milk tea.
Nong Chunhua couldn't wait to take a sip and couldn't help but take a second sip, "It's so delicious. Thanks to my sister, this is my first time to drink this new thing."
The buns were enjoying it very much, their eyes were incredibly bright, "Auntie Zhizhi, can we bring it to show our friends?"
Jiang Zhizhi nodded, "Go ahead."
"Yeah yeah yeah, bubble milk tea, bubble milk tea..." The buns ran away quickly.
"Run slower, don't drop your aunt's bowl!" Nong Chunhua yelled.
When the steamed buns ran away, Nong Chunhua shook her head and said, "Don't talk about them. I like to drink it myself."
Baozi came to the square immediately and first called Doudou and Yaya to come over to share their newly obtained bubble milk tea.
Doudou and Yaya stared at the bubble milk tea, it smelled so good that they could hardly hold back.
The little friends who were playing outside were completely unable to walk and were howling with envy.
"There really are little black pearls. What do they taste like?"
"It's soft and sticky, and very delicious."
"Can I have one?"
"I want it, too."
After a while.
The sisters-in-law in the family compound all brought their own vegetables, cabbages, and pickled cucumbers to Jiang Zhizhi, asking her how to make bubble milk tea.
Baozi rushed over excitedly with a group of young men, holding the bowls steadily in their hands and smiling with eight teeth showing. Nong Chunhua was almost mad to death. It turned out that the Baozis were there to show off.
Jiang Zhizhi chuckled, "Sisters-in-law, this is very simple."
But she didn't expect that bubble milk tea would amaze the little friends and they loved it.
But when the sisters-in-law heard that brown sugar and tea were required, they thought that bubble milk tea was so rare and they couldn't afford it.
When they heard that they had to add sugar to milk tea, they felt heartbroken. Sugar is so expensive, how could they waste it?
Captain Lu’s daughter-in-law doesn’t feel sorry at all. Does Captain Lu not care at all?
It seems that they don't care, just make it at will.
At this moment, everyone once again felt how much Captain Lu doted on his wife.
When Nong Chunhua returned home, she was overwhelmed by the buns. She felt sorry for the tea leaves and the white and brown sugar.
But seeing the expectant looks in the buns' eyes, she gritted her teeth and agreed to make them when the milk was delivered tomorrow.
However, Nong Chunhua and the steamed buns agreed that the milk tea they made would not have pearls! And they would give a bowl to Jiang Zhizhi.
The buns all raised their hands, so happy that they didn't know what to do: "I'll go and deliver it!"
When Lu Xingchen returned home, he saw his wife standing at the gate of the small courtyard waiting to greet him with a smile. A gleam of light flashed across his dark eyes, and he felt extremely satisfied in his heart.
Lu Xingchen took a combat shower, washed his army green short-sleeved shirt that was wet and then dried, and changed into an army green vest and pants. After feeling refreshed, he was willing to hug his sweet and soft wife: "Are you so happy today?"
Jiang Zhizhi's thin waist was easily embraced by him. She leaned slightly into his arms, and naturally hugged his neck, smiling and said, "That's right, today it must be thanks to the bubble milk tea."
As he spoke, his joy could not stop overflowing.
Lu Xingchen laughed, "Pearl milk tea?"
Jiang Zhizhi patted the big hand on her waist, signaling him to let go quickly. After the man let go obediently, she excitedly went to get the bowl, filled it with a bowl of icy bubble milk tea, and handed it to Lu Xingchen with bright eyes.
"I stirred it up specially for you to drink. Try it."
Lu Xingchen's dark eyes were filled with smiles. He was really curious about what his wife had cooked. It smelled like tea and also had the fragrance of milk.
He tried a sip and it was indeed quite good: "It tastes good."
Lu Xingchen gulped down his milk tea with great enthusiasm, "I prefer eating this pearl."
The man ate so much that his cheeks were bulging, which made Jiang Zhizhi laugh non-stop.
In the afternoon, Jiang Zhizhi prepared another cup of pearl milk tea for her brother and asked Lu Xingchen to take it to his brother.
Lu Xingchen received a reward from his daughter-in-law, so he naturally took on the task assigned by her.
