The new order from Hungry Ghost is a coconut latte.
Lu Wu found coffee beans while purchasing ingredients, but since people in the Qingyuan Realm used coffee beans as materials for alchemy, no one had discovered how to grind them into powder to make coffee.
"Isn't this a black bean? How can it be used to make milk tea?"
Among the crowd was a diner who knew alchemy. Although the form had changed, the unique aroma made her recognize the beans.
She has the heart of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs, and she once ate this little black bean.
One bite, and the bitter taste almost made her curse.
As Boss Lu dissolved the powder with water, a familiar bitter smell wafted through the air, and the alchemist felt sorry for the customer who had placed the order.
This must be from Boss Lu's perverse sense of humor.
Despite being questioned by diners, Lu Wu calmly and methodically continued preparing the milk tea.
Making a coconut latte is something anyone can learn. First, put a lot of ice cubes at the bottom of the cup, then pour in concentrated coffee and thick coconut milk.
Shake it a few times, and it's done.
The addition of coconut milk dilutes the coffee to a milky brown color, but the aroma does not diminish. On the contrary, it becomes more prominent after being infused with the milky fragrance, making diners unable to help but lower their heads to take a sniff.
"Be mentally prepared."
The alchemist still offered a reminder, since this milk tea might not taste very good.
The diner nodded and took a sip.
A very elegant way to drink it.
The first sip was the slightly bitter taste of coffee. The diners who couldn't handle bitterness twitched their eyebrows, while the alchemist watching had an "I knew it" expression on his face.
But soon, the cool coconut milk broke through the bitterness, and the sweetness of the coconut milk dispelled the bitterness left on the tip of the tongue.
The rich aroma of coconut is enveloped by the coffee, and the two flavors collide and blend together in the mouth.
She stirred the cup a few times, allowing the two ingredients to blend more thoroughly. The bitterness of the coffee was neutralized, leaving behind the rich aroma of coffee and the sweet aftertaste of coconut milk.
This is a simple yet skillfully prepared drink.
The proportions of both ingredients need to be precisely controlled to get a perfect coconut latte.
The experience is something I cannot share with outsiders.
After taking a few bites and savoring the flavor, the diners smiled at the alchemist.
"you're right."
She had mentally prepared herself so that she wouldn't be overwhelmed by the deliciousness; otherwise, she might have screamed out loud.
"I'm glad I could help you."
The alchemist chuckled.
The two communicated smoothly despite their seemingly disparate views.
"Waaaaah!"
Another diner was stomping his feet, cupping his face in his hands and striking a delicate pose, completely oblivious to the surprised looks from onlookers.
"What are you looking at, hmph!"
He nodded arrogantly, then made a delicate gesture with his fingers towards Lu Wu: "Boss Lu, your milk tea is so delicious, I want to learn how to make it."
He turned his best-looking side towards Lu Wu, hoping to win her favor.
However...
After waiting for a long time, no one responded.
Looking again, Lu Wu was completely absorbed in making handicrafts, oblivious to everything else, focusing solely on mashing mango puree.
"Hmph, bad guy."
After a shy exclamation, the diner swayed her hips and walked away to slowly drink her milk tea.
Lu Wu glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
That's terrifying.
Men and women alike want to seduce her, and now a middleman has come along wanting to profit from the difference.
She won't fall for it!
"Next!"
Lu Wu called out, and the three brothers, who had been waiting for a long time, finally arrived in front of the stall.
They were still a little stunned after seeing the reactions of so many diners.
Which identity is her real identity? She's disguised to such an extent that she could easily work alone.
The three brothers were even intrigued by the customers' reactions, which made them look forward to the milk tea.
They were sure that the new drink would bring a fresh experience, so they decided to try it.
"I want Peach Four Seasons Spring."
The boss placed the order while observing Lu Wu's expression and actions, making sure he didn't miss anything when the other party relayed the message.
"Okay, just a moment."
After saying those five words, Lu Wu lowered her head and continued working.
She cut the fresh peaches into small pieces; the pinkish flesh was exceptionally juicy and looked very sweet. After cooking, the flesh became even more translucent.
The aroma of ripe peaches captivated the three brothers' senses, while the skillful knife work drew their attention.
Perhaps this was how the other party was conveying information; all three of them shared this thought, and thus watched even more intently.
The green tea base retains its delicate fragrance, while the thick peach sauce boasts a translucent amber color.
Peach pieces and fruit chunks are placed at the bottom, and the pouring in of the tea base creates subtle layers in the milk tea.
It's pink and tender, like a spring flower.
Lu Wu's movements were fluid and graceful, possessing a unique charm.
The three were mesmerized until the milk tea was handed to them, at which point the eldest brother snapped out of his daze. He took the milk tea and stared intently at the other person's expression, trying to glean some information from it.
No, still no!
The second son also shook his head slightly; he couldn't discern anything from it.
"Could it be hidden in here?"
The third brother whispered to the milk tea, "Hiding things inside is not a bad idea."
The three exchanged glances, perhaps having identified Lu Wu as a companion. This exchange was not subtle, and Lu Wu naturally noticed it.
"Drink slowly."
She said something.
Don't drink too fast, she's a bit overwhelmed, her arms are sore from shaking so much. Drink slowly and give her some time to catch her breath.
Another day of missing my workaholic.
"good."
The leader gave Lu Wu a knowing look, which he believed was a reminder from his comrade.
There's something wrong with this milk tea!
