The two noble ladies arrived quickly. They were naturally favored to have come to Mongolia with them, but with Yi Niang ahead of them, they were just there to make up the numbers and basically stayed in their own tents.
They were naturally overjoyed to receive the invitation from the Third Prince's wife.
It can both pass the time and create positive connections.
That would be excellent.
The four of them sat down and started playing mahjong.
Today, the four of them were evenly matched in terms of winning and losing. Of course, Tong Cheng'er also contributed to this. She could count the cards and played well. However, if only she won, it seemed like there was no fun in it. So she deliberately didn't count the cards. As a result, she won and lost in the end.
It's quite fun.
Just then, Rulan came in.
"Madam, Cheng Ning said he made the milk tea you mentioned, and sent a servant to ask if you would like to try it now."
Upon hearing this, Tong Cheng'er was surprised by his swift action.
Since he's already made it, whether or not it's the kind of milk tea she's thinking of, it must taste pretty good, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to bring it to her.
"Send some in."
Rulan: "Yes, Madam."
Upon hearing this, Consort Ma smiled gently and asked, "What kind of milk tea is this?"
Tong Cheng'er explained, "I haven't tried the tea and snacks that were made before. I'll have to ask the two esteemed guests and Third Sister-in-law to help me taste them later."
They naturally agreed.
The milk tea was brought in very quickly.
Rulan poured four cups of milk tea, placed them on a tray, and served them to the mahjong table.
Tong Cheng'er picked up the teacup, took a sip first, and was pleasantly surprised. The taste was very good, even better than the milk tea she drank in modern times.
Of course, this could be attributed to the fact that she was relatively poor in modern times, and the milk tea she drank was not particularly authentic.
"It's delicious, you should all try it."
Almost no woman can resist milk tea; even if some can, they are a minority.
The Third Prince's wife and two other noble ladies took a bite and were immediately amazed.
Third Princess: "It has a milky aroma and a hint of tea fragrance. This milk tea is really delicious."
As she spoke, she downed a cup of milk tea in an instant and then had another one.
The two VIPs couldn't resist the temptation and ordered refills. Seeing this, Tong Cheng'er was happy; the milk tea was a success.
If milk can be made into milk powder, and milk tea is so popular, then Mongolian milk will naturally have a market.
When Yinzhen returned home that evening, Tong Cheng'er handed him a cup of milk tea.
Although Yinzhen didn't know what it was, he dared to eat whatever his little wife handed him.
He took a sip, and then quickly finished the whole cup.
After finishing his milk tea, Yinzhen asked, "What is this?"
Tong Cheng'er replied, "This is milk tea."
Yinzhen: "Milk tea? Milk and tea?"
Tong Cheng'er nodded: "Yes, milk and tea, but sugar was added to them as well."
After all, milk is not sweet in nature and has a milky smell.
"You're quite good at making these things; they taste really good."
Tong Cheng'er shook her head with a smile: "I didn't come up with this myself, I just borrowed the credit from those who came before me."
As soon as she said this, Yinzhen understood what she meant.
Yinzhen: "That was also something you ordered someone to do."
He didn't care; no matter what, the milk tea was all thanks to the young mistress.
...
Tong Cheng'er didn't keep the milk tea a secret. After being mentioned several times by the Third Prince's wife and two of Kangxi's concubines, the rumor spread that "the Fourth Prince's wife has exceptionally delicious milk tea, even better than fine wine and nectar."
When Tong Cheng'er heard this rumor, she was completely dumbfounded. Milk tea is delicious, but can this stuff be compared to fine wine and nectar?
As the story spread, it reached the ears of both the Crown Princess and Consort Yi.
Once, at a banquet, he ran into the Crown Princess, who then brought up the matter.
"My fourth sister-in-law recently made a milk tea, and I heard it's really delicious. I wonder if it's true?"
Tong Cheng'er didn't know how to answer this question. If she said it was delicious, it would sound like she was bragging. If she said it wasn't delicious, she would feel guilty!
"Taste varies from person to person. If the Crown Princess is interested, I will send some over to her later."
The Crown Princess nodded: "Okay, then I'll be waiting for Fourth Brother's sister-in-law's milk tea."
After returning home, Tong Cheng'er had a lot of milk tea brewed and sent trusted people to serve it to the female relatives who had come on the trip. Of course, this female relatives were limited to the primary wife and the concubines of Kangxi's harem.
Whether she looks down on concubines is one thing, but given her social status, it would be beneath her to eagerly send gifts to concubines, so she naturally wouldn't do such a thing.
After receiving the milk tea, the women couldn't resist trying it, as it was rumored to be comparable to nectar. Once they tasted it, they couldn't stop.
It tastes so good.
After drinking the milk tea, Consort Yi couldn't help but mention to Emperor Kangxi that evening, "Today, I drank the milk tea that Fourth Prince Consort sent me, and the taste was truly unforgettable."
Emperor Kangxi became interested upon hearing this: "What is milk tea?"
Consort Yi smiled and said, "These are tea snacks prepared by the Fourth Prince's wife. She sent some to me today, and I think they taste even better than tea."
When Emperor Kangxi heard that it was something that Yinzhen's wife had put together, he was not surprised at all. His daughter-in-law loved to put together new and interesting things.
Consort Yi is favored by the emperor and has seen all kinds of delicious food and drinks. If she can say that something tastes good, it must taste really good, otherwise she wouldn't praise it.
Emperor Kangxi smiled and nodded: "You described milk tea in such a way that it makes me want to try it myself."
Consort Yi smiled and joked, "That's easy. You can just tell the Fourth Prince. He's the most filial son, so he'll just deliver it to you."
