Chapter 341 Milk Tea
Anyway, she participated in the autumn harvest voluntarily. If she had something important to do, she would have a reason not to go.
Liu Yinyin paused and said, "Teacher Qiu...should have a partner."
Every time we met, Teacher Qiu was buying things for lesbians. Even if he didn't marry, he must have someone he liked.
Liu Yinyin didn't want to help Jiang Bailing since she didn't know the person's background.
"Really?" Jiang Bailing's eyes suddenly lost their light.
Liu Yinyin nodded: "I think so. I'm not sure. He just came to the island not long ago, and the people in the family compound don't know much about his family situation."
Jiang Bailing said dissatisfiedly: "Well, then I have to follow the villagers to grab food..."
As Manager Jiang's niece, Jiang Bailing has actually never suffered any hardship since she was a child.
Going to the fields to harvest is hard work.
The next day, a large number of people left the island by boat.
Most of the people who went there were women, and the men had to stay in the village as they also had the task of fishing.
The supply and marketing cooperative was even emptier than usual.
After more than ten days of hard work, everyone came back one after another.
It is a bit tiring, but the rewards are great.
With the subsidies during this period and the food they exchanged with the villagers, many people returned home with a full load.
In addition to Jiang Bailing, another person who went to the supply and marketing cooperative to participate in the harvesting was Aunt Wang.
The old employees had all taken turns going there, and this year it was Auntie Wang’s turn.
After being busy for so many days, Auntie Wang and Jiang Bailing both got tanned.
Aunt Wang didn't think it was a big deal and was quite happy to be back.
"Yinyin, I bought some extra broad beans and lotus seeds this time. Do you want to exchange them?"
People are not allowed to trade privately, but bartering is still possible. After all, everyone has needs.
This time when she went out, Auntie Wang packed two bags of dried seafood to take away, just to exchange for other supplies.
In addition to food, Aunt Wang also exchanged for a lot of other miscellaneous things, such as soybeans, mung beans, silkworms, lotus seeds, etc.
The most common ones are broad beans and lotus seeds.
Aunt Wang wanted to exchange some food with Liu Yinyin.
She knew that Liu Yinyin would not refuse these fresh foods.
Aunt Wang didn't ask anyone else.
Liu Yinyin said hurriedly: "Auntie, I'll trade you some white flour."
Auntie Wang smiled and said, "By the way, Haicao's father caught a few big mackerels in the sea. I'll pick two for you to eat later."
The meat of Spanish mackerel is of good quality and is sold at a relatively high price on the island.
The next day, Liu Yinyin took a day off. Having nothing to do, she started to worry about food again.
When she is not at work, she usually does not send Gu Yanyan to daycare, but lets him stay at home and play for the whole day.
Anyway, I play with other children in the nursery.
Gu Yanyan is only three years old now, and Liu Yinyin does not require him to learn to write and read so early.
The little guy was very happy not to go to the nursery. He brought a small stool and sat on it to read picture books.
Last time, I bought a lot of tea from Aunt Wang.
Liu Yinyin was thinking about making a pot of milk tea.
The conditions did not allow her to do so, so she could only do her best to make a caramel milk tea.
There are not many ingredients needed to make caramel milk tea, tea leaves, sugar, milk...
I have tea and sugar at home, but no milk, but I have one and a half packs of milk powder.
She could smuggle two bottles of milk out of the system and then say it was milk mixed with powdered milk.
Just do it.
Liu Yinyin lit a fire and put the small clay pot on the stove.
Put tea leaves and a piece of white sugar in a clay pot and stir-fry until they are browned and bubbling. Then pour in boiling water and boil for a while. Finally, pour in two bottles of milk and stir.
When it is almost done, remove the tea leaves and you can drink the caramel milk tea.
The tea that Auntie Wang gave was really good. The kitchen was filled with a strong tea aroma.
Gu Yanyan, who was reading a comic book in the living room, also smelled the fragrance and ran to the kitchen immediately.
"Mom, it smells so good..."
Caramel milk tea is made from pure natural ingredients without additives, so children should be able to drink it too.
The freshly brewed milk tea was a little hot, so Liu Yinyin didn't give it to him immediately.
"This is the milk tea that mom made. I'll give it to you after it cools down."
Gu Yanyan stared at the milk tea in the clay pot with her big eyes, and she thought it smelled very good. She couldn't help but ask, "Mom, is the milk tea delicious?"
Liu Yinyin took out two bowls: "You'll know in a minute."
Gu Yanyan would probably like this sweet thing.
Liu Yinyin scooped two bowls of milk tea to cool down.
When he tasted the milk tea, Gu Yanyan's eyes narrowed with happiness.
Liu Yinyin also took a sip...
The aroma of tea, caramel and milk blend together, and the caramel milk tea has a mellow taste and is really delicious.
"Yinyin, what delicious food are you making at home? I can smell the fragrance from far away."
Aunt Wang came to Liu Yinyin's house with a basket to deliver something.
"Auntie, you came at the right time. I made some milk tea. You can try it too..."
Liu Yinyin poured a bowl of milk tea for Aunt Wang.
Auntie Wang took a sip and her eyes lit up: "Yinyin, what did you just say this was?"
Liu Yinyin: "Milk tea."
Auntie Wang sighed, "Oh my god, I've never tasted anything so delicious. How did you make it?"
Making caramel milk tea is not difficult. Liu Yinyin told her directly: "Just put the tea leaves you gave me last time and a piece of sugar in a pot and fry them, then add boiling water and milk and boil them."
Auntie Wang exclaimed, "It has both sugar and milk, no wonder it tastes so good, you are the one with the most ideas."
Aunt Wang herself was reluctant to go through so much trouble, and the conditions did not allow it. Her family had tea and white sugar, but no milk.
Not only her family, there was no milk to sell on the entire island.
Liu Yinyin smiled faintly and said, "It's only once in a while, auntie. I made a lot of milk tea. I'll make a bowl for you to take back for your family to taste. By the way..."
Liu Yinyin instructed: "Auntie, don't give Haicao this to drink. Pregnant women are best not to drink tea."
It was also because of this that she did not send milk tea to Zheng Qiangwei's house.
Auntie Wang sighed and said, "Okay, I understand."
Liu Yinyin filled a big bowl of milk tea for Aunt Wang, and also twelve eggs.
Just think of it as a return gift from Aunt Wang for the mackerel she sent her.
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "I will return the bowl to you when I go to work tomorrow."
She has several grandchildren, and she can bring the milk tea back for them to drink.
After Aunt Wang left with the basket.
Liu Yinyin brought the things she delivered to the kitchen, and Gu Yanyan followed her happily.
Liu Yinyin looked at him suspiciously: "Why don't you read comic books?"
Gu Yanyan licked the corner of her mouth and said, "Mom, I still want to drink milk tea."
He only drank a small bowl of such delicious food and it was not satisfying at all.
Liu Yinyin refused without thinking: "No, children can't drink too much milk tea."
