Chapter 233: It’s cold, you hold your hands
"Where did your relatives come from? Besides, if you have relatives, why do you stay at home and don't want to leave?" Sang Xingjia frowned even more tightly.
"My mother's relatives."
There were no traditional Chinese characters in this sentence, but Sang Yu finally understood it.
Judging from the context, Xiao Zhao wants to go into the city to find her mother's relatives?
Then just say it directly. She even returned her indenture contract to her, so how could she be stopped from looking for her relatives?
"Why don't you just tell me directly? I won't stop you." She asked the question in her mind.
Xiao Zhao pursed her lips, moved a little slower than before, and reached out to write "I don't know if he is still alive."
She wanted to take a sneak peek, and if the other person's life was good and he was willing to accept her, she would tell Sang Yu about it.
If the other party is poor or unwilling to accept her as a burden, she can continue to stay in the Sang family.
Following them was a helpless act. When she was brought here by Liu Mao, she was unconscious and had no idea which direction Lingnan City was.
The night Sang Yu let her go, she wandered around Qingxi Village for a long time before getting out of the canyon, and ended up getting lost in the forest.
If there hadn't been people drinking and playing drinking games at the entrance of the canyon with oil lamps lit, she might have been trapped to death in the forest.
In addition, the Sang family treated her very well, so she thought about healing herself first before making a decision.
"Okay, since you still have relatives, we'll go with you to take a look after we finish selling things today."
In the end, Sang Yu chose to believe her and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Zhao quickly stood up and bowed to her.
The team of three became four and continued on their way to Lingnan City.
As soon as she entered the city, Xiao Zhao was dazzled by the prosperity of Lingnan City. She was captured and sold as a slave in the area further south of the southwest battlefield.
Before being sold to Lingnan by a caravan, he had hardly ever been to such a large city.
After arriving in Lingnan, he was imprisoned in a cage and moved back and forth between several brothels.
Afterwards, he was taken directly to Qingxi Village and had no chance to see the scenery in the city at all.
"Do you like it here?" Sang Yu asked with a smile, noticing that her eyes were always looking around.
Xiao Zhao nodded first, but then quickly shook her head.
She liked this place only because it was where her mother had lived before, but when she recalled her experience of being sold as a slave, she hated this place.
She was speechless and couldn't express herself accurately, so she was so anxious that she started to gesture.
Fortunately, Sang Yu could probably guess what she meant and patted her head to comfort her: "It's okay, I'm here, and no one will lock you up again."
They randomly found a relatively large and lively market, paid the stall fee, and then the four of them went to their positions and began to make preparations.
I got up early today and should have come early, but I wasted time dealing with the tracking matters. When I arrived at the market, many people had already had breakfast.
Fortunately, Sang Yu had no intention of selling pearl milk tea and rock sugar pear as breakfast from the beginning. These two things are not full meals at all, they can only be eaten as a snack, and it doesn’t matter if they come late.
After everything was prepared, he saw Xiao Zhao standing beside him, somewhat at a loss, wanting to help but not knowing how.
Sang Yu simply poured her a cup of milk tea and asked her to sit aside and drink it slowly: "It's cold, hold it and warm your hands."
In the middle of the familiar market town, with a familiar face, Liu Bao, who was strolling through the markets to digest his breakfast, recognized Sang Yu at once.
"Little lady selling skewers! You haven't been selling goods in a long time!"
Sang Yu also recognized him quickly. It can be said that the hot sales of skewers on the first day were entirely due to this person.
"I partnered with someone to run the skewers business, and during this time I've been developing other snacks at home."
Sang Yu smiled and gave him a brief explanation, then picked up a bamboo tube, opened the lid of the individually packaged food box and scooped up a spoonful of pearls.
"It's rare that you support us so much, so I'll give you a cup of our new bubble milk tea to try and see if it suits your taste."
The pearls were coated with amber syrup, poured with three spoonfuls of milk tea, and topped with a reed, and handed to Liu Bao.
"Stir it before drinking to break up the pearls at the bottom."
Liu Bao never thought that there would be a day when he could eat for free just by relying on his looks. His mouth corners were almost stretched to his ears. He nodded repeatedly when he heard her instructions and did as she said.
He stirred the bamboo tube a few times with a reed, and then took a light sip.
As the smooth and warm milk tea enters your mouth, a complex aroma of caramel and milk spreads.
Then the chewy pearls appear in your mouth. When you bite them, they resist a little before being bitten open, giving you a unique and satisfying chewing pleasure.
The alternation of liquid and solid, the collision of smoothness and chewiness, and the interweaving of the sweetness of milk tea and pearls form a rich and varied sense of layering.
After swallowing, a light aroma of tea and milk will remain in your mouth.
"Wow! It's really delicious!" Liu Bao was not stingy with his praise. He had never tasted anything so delicious.
But he was still a little curious: "Why is this called pearl milk tea?"
"I named the thing you chew Pearl. It looks crystal clear, round and smooth, so it's for good luck." Sang Yu explained to him patiently.
Liu Bao picked up a pearl with a reed and took a closer look. It was just as Sang Yu had described.
"I see. The more I think about it, the more appropriate the name Pearl Milk Tea seems to be. The young lady is truly intelligent."
While talking for a while, Liu Bao drank most of the milk tea without realizing it. Although he had just had breakfast, he didn't feel full at all.
His eyes suddenly fell on the other side, on a bamboo tube with a lid, and he asked curiously, "Hey, young lady, this shouldn't be pearl milk tea, right?"
If that were the case, Sang Yu should have just given him a tube instead of assembling it on the spot.
"This is rock sugar and snow pear, a nourishing food for autumn and winter. Would you like to try some?"
I know this person is not short of money. As long as he is satisfied with the meal, he will definitely come back the next day.
Sang Yu didn't think at all that he was deliberately taking advantage of the opportunity. She picked up a tube and opened the lid to show him.
Liu Bao stretched his head to take a look, and saw a whole sand pear in the bamboo tube. He immediately lost interest.
He usually didn't like pears, thinking they were juicy but not sweet, and tasted bland. However, if someone peeled a pear and brought it to his mouth, he would reluctantly eat it.
However, thinking back to the dishes that Sang Yu had made before that he didn't like, and that they all tasted quite good, he became a little hesitant about whether he should try it himself.
Before he could come up with an answer, Sang Yu took the initiative to make the decision for him. She opened the lid, took out a disposable wooden spoon specially ordered from Carpenter Wang and put it in.
"Try it, it tastes pretty good."
