Chapter 177 Making Milk Tea
Huo Juncheng wanted to drink the milk tea he made, so he just said it directly. But he ended up going through so much trouble to ask me to make it for him...
Forget it, it's just making milk tea, Lin Yilan is pretty good at it. She jumped up from the sofa and went to the kitchen. She asked Sister Xiu to buy some fresh milk, tea leaves, and tapioca pearls for her.
She has always preferred pearl milk tea, so making pearl milk tea is also what she is best at.
After Sister Xiu bought all the necessary ingredients, Lin Yilan began to show her skills. Sister Xiu had heard about the milk tea shop opened by Lin Yilan and Chu Siran a long time ago. It had just been listed and had expanded to several branches. Everyone praised the taste of their milk tea shop.
So when she knew that Lin Yilan was going to make milk tea, Sister Xiu stood quietly by, hoping to learn from her. However, Lin Yilan had already noticed Sister Xiu and instantly understood her little thoughts.
I smiled at Sister Xiu with a bit of apology, "I'm sorry, Sister Xiu, although this milk tea looks simple to make and the steps are not very complicated, it is after all the exclusive recipe of the 'Yi Ran' tea shop, so I can't teach you. And when I was learning, I had to beg Siran for a long time before she was willing to tell me, so..."
Seeing Lin Yilan's embarrassment, Sister Xiu quickly understood. Although she was curious about the steps involved in making Yiran's milk tea, Lin Yilan had already stated that it was a special recipe. Sister Xiu didn't stay in the kitchen any longer, but went out to do other things.
"Young Madam, call me if you need anything. I'll be leaving now. Please take your time."
Lin Yilan got Sister Xiu's understanding and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Sister Xiu. I'll ask you to drink it when I make it."
Sister Xiu didn't expect Lin Yilan to say that. She thanked Lin Yilan and left the kitchen.
Looking at the kitchen where she was the only one left, Lin Yilan breathed a sigh of relief, although she often adjusted the various proportions of milk tea out of curiosity to make different milk teas in the milk tea shop.
But this was her first time in the Huo family's kitchen.
Looking at the dazzling array of condiments in front of her, Lin Yilan fiddled with them curiously for a while. Red, yellow, white, green... all the colors looked quite interesting.
After fiddling with it for a while, Lin Yilan remembered that she still needed to make milk tea, so she started making it. She mixed eight parts milk, one part tea, and one part sugar in a pot, stirring on low heat, and then added...
After a series of steps, Lin Yilan's milk tea was ready. She divided the milk tea into several cups, sealed one, and put it in the refrigerator, waiting to exchange it for Huo Juncheng's theater tickets that evening.
The remaining milk tea...
Lin Yilan looked at the several cups of milk tea left in front of her and felt a little troubled. If she threw them away, it would be such a waste. But if she invited people to drink, no one would come to drink...
Suddenly, Lin Yilan had an idea. Although she didn't have that many people to drink her milk tea, she could divide the milk tea into large portions.
Thinking of this, Lin Yilan directly took out a few large cups and turned the two small cups into one large cup. She added ice cubes to two of the cups, and the other two were at room temperature.
Except for one cup that does not contain tapioca pearls, the other three cups each contain one tablespoon of tapioca pearls. The black tapioca pearls float up and down in the light brown milk tea, making people want to suck them into their mouths and chew them carefully.
Lin Yilan gave the two cups of iced milk tea to Gao Long and Gao Hu, one cup of room temperature milk tea to Sister Xiu, and the other cup of milk tea without tapioca pearls was prepared by Lin Yilan for Grandma Huo. Grandma Huo was old, and it was not good for her to eat tapioca pearls.
Lin Yilan took the cup of milk tea and went directly to the back garden to find Grandma Huo. Although Grandma Huo had time to go to the theater, it would be better to ask.
At this time, Grandma Huo was tidying up the pomegranate trees she raised in the back garden. When she saw Lin Yilan coming, her eyebrows and eyes seemed to be cracked with smile, and her kind smile was fully displayed through these cracks.
"Why are you here, Yilan? Are you here to bask in the sun in the back garden? Let me tell you, the weather is really nice today. It's good for your health to bask in the sun regularly. It replenishes calcium."
Lin Yilan looked at Grandma Huo and was infected by her good mood. She also grinned widely, "Grandma, I made milk tea and wanted you to try it. I didn't know if you like milk tea, so I brought it here specially."
When Grandma Huo heard Lin Yilan say this, her eyes fell on the milk tea in Lin Yilan's hand, "I didn't expect our Yilan could make milk tea. She is really an all-round baby who can do both housework and cooking."
As Grandma Huo spoke, she picked up the cup of milk tea in Lin Yilan's hand and took a sip. Lin Yilan blushed and scratched the back of her head shyly after being praised by Grandma Huo.
"Is it delicious, Grandma?"
"You know what, this drink you young people drink is really good, but grandma likes something lighter. I think plain tea is better. Adding milk is also good. It's good to try it occasionally."
"Grandma, is this your first time drinking milk tea?"
"Yes, grandma usually drinks tea. This is indeed her first time drinking milk tea, but it tastes quite good, much better than grandma imagined. If grandma wants to drink it again in the future, you must make it for her."
Hearing Grandma Huo say this, Lin Yilan knew that her milk tea had won Grandma Huo's approval, and her eyes curved with joy. "No problem, Grandma, if you want to drink it in the future, Yilan will make it with you. I will learn new styles in the future, and we can make it for you together when we have the chance."
"Oh, my granddaughter-in-law is so nice. I am very satisfied to have a granddaughter-in-law like you."
Lin Yilan didn't expect Grandma Huo to call her "granddaughter-in-law" directly. She couldn't wipe away her face and blushed a little. She deliberately changed the subject, "Grandma, I want to go to the theater with you tomorrow. Is it convenient for you?"
Grandma Huo was watering the last pomegranate tree at the moment. When she heard Lin Yilan's words, she turned her head and looked at Lin Yilan, "Of course I have time. Let's make a promise to go to the theater with grandma tomorrow. When we leave, just call grandma, okay?"
Lin Yilan knew that Grandma Huo would agree so readily, so she responded to Grandma Huo.
Sitting on the small chair that Grandma Huo placed in the back garden, Grandma Huo had finished watering the plants and sat opposite Lin Yilan. The two of them chatted casually, and time passed slowly.
When Huo Juncheng came back, Lin Yilan quickly went to the refrigerator to take out the milk tea, wanting to hand over the milk tea and the theater tickets to Huo Juncheng.
As a result, Huo Juncheng heard that this cup of milk tea was made by Lin Yilan in the morning, and his was the last cup. He insisted that Lin Yilan make him a new cup, saying that the morning cup was not fresh.
Lin Yilan and Grandma Huo had agreed to go to the theater together tomorrow. If Huo Juncheng didn't give her a ticket, she would have to break the appointment tomorrow. Thinking of this, Lin Yilan couldn't persuade Huo Juncheng, so she went to the kitchen to make some new milk tea for Huo Juncheng.
Fortunately, Lin Yilan had not used up all the things Sister Xiu bought in the morning, otherwise she would be in trouble now. Lin Yilan was thankful and obediently made the cup of milk tea.
Of course, Lin Yilan absolutely couldn't understand why Huo Juncheng asked Lin Yilan to make milk tea again because Huo Juncheng felt that he was the last person in the Huo family to drink milk tea, and he was jealous...
