Chapter 97: The popular drink in Kyoto (Part 2)
Dr. Wen had a stern face and spoke in a stiff and serious tone.
Shen Keheng thought he would be punished.
Who would have thought that Dr. Wen kept him here just to ask about milk tea? !
Shen Keheng widened his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.
He raised the bamboo tube in his hand and confirmed again: "Are you talking about this drink?"
Dr. Wen frowned and nodded, "Yes, that's what I was asking about."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dr. Wen hesitated and uttered, "Is this the new drink from Yipinlou?"
Yipinlou has been open for quite some time, and all the students whose families are relatively well-off have gone there to dine.
From then on, the students understood how delicious those foods were whose aroma could touch the soul.
But after all, the food there is not cheap and they can't eat it every day.
What's more, the Shen family still delivers meals to the Shen Kesi brothers every day.
And in most cases, the meals that were delivered were still styles that no one had ever eaten before, and flavors that had not yet appeared in Yipintang.
On the day when the Shen Mansion held the crab banquet, Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng were in the Imperial College and could not attend, so Shen Huazheng had someone send them a portion of the dishes from the banquet.
The unique aroma of crabs made the surrounding students drool. Even the doctors who were dining near them were so tempted that they had no appetite for their meals.
It’s nothing, it’s just that the food made with crabs is so delicious.
The meal in front of them seemed bland and difficult to swallow.
From then on, the Shen Kesi and his foursome became the most watched people in the entire Imperial College.
Especially the brothers Shen Kesi and Shen Keheng, their every move is now attracting much attention.
Dr. Wen has always insisted that a gentleman should not be too greedy for food. To him, eating is just a way to fill the stomach.
The reason why he made such a move that was completely inconsistent with his usual image this time was mainly because of his wife.
Unlike her husband, Mrs. Wen is very particular about food.
She likes the food very much no matter it is from Lianxiangzhai or Yipinlou.
Dr. Wen and his wife have been together for several years and they have a very good relationship.
When he saw Shen Keheng secretly drinking milk tea in class today, his first reaction was not to scold this "greedy" student, but that his wife would definitely like this drink.
Chen Keheng calmed down and said, "Yipinlou has not yet sold this drink, but it should be available in a day or two."
Dr. Wen got the answer and left satisfied.
Shen Keheng watched Dr. Wen leave and quickly took a sip of milk tea to calm himself.
I really didn't expect that Dr. Wen, the most stubborn and conservative doctor in the Imperial College, would also be interested in milk tea.
…
When everyone in the government office was drinking tea, Shen Zhaonian suddenly took out a bamboo tube, inserted a reed straw and started drinking pearl milk tea.
The officials of the Ministry of Revenue were already accustomed to Shen Zhaonian's occasional attacks of delicious food, but when they smelled the aroma of milk tea, they couldn't help but gather around.
Shen Zhaonian had anticipated the reactions of his colleagues. He took out another bamboo tube that had not been used and gave each of them a little.
A group of men who claimed that they didn't like sweets took a sip of milk tea and were immediately amazed.
"Master Shen, these round little balls are soft, chewy and very interesting to chew."
"This drink has milk in it, but it doesn't have any fishy smell at all. It's really novel."
"Sir Shen, will Miss Shen sell this drink in Yipinlou?"
In less than a day, pearl milk tea quickly spread from the imperial palace, the Imperial College, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Hanlin Academy.
It became a popular drink throughout the capital of Daliang.
