Although the teacups on the table were arranged in close rows, each one was actually only one-third full.
The main purpose was to sample the flavors; Qin Yi didn't intend for anyone to be stuffed.
After the three of them voted to select the best-tasting varieties, Qin Yi pushed her stall cart toward the scenic area.
She specially commissioned a new signboard so that customers wouldn't have trouble understanding what she was selling.
The sign for "A Bowl of Lei Cha" is prominently displayed on the wooden stall cart, next to which is a picture of a mortar and pestle. Green curtains made of strings of tender tea leaves hang on both sides of the cart, and a faint fragrance wafts in when the wind blows.
This time, she still chose to set up her stall at Qing Shi Square, where the space is spacious, there are many stall owners, and many tourists who love to stroll around.
"Hey boss, I see you again!"
A female anchor dressed in pink flowing sleeves greeted Qin Yi warmly in the square, with a muscular man with a sweet voice and a cute little boy standing next to her.
Upon seeing Qin Yi over there, the little boy shook off his father's hand and rushed over.
"Pretty sister, do you still have dragons for sale? I want a dragon."
Qin Yi looked at the little boy and smiled, saying, "Little friend, I'm not selling dragons anymore. I'm starting to sell Lei Cha (pounded tea) today."
The little boy, who couldn't read or understand, asked, "What kind of 'fork' is 'thunder fork'? Is it the Thunder God who makes thunder in the sky? Waaah, I don't like thunder, I won't buy thunder!"
After saying that, she ran back to her father's side, crying, and buried her head in his eight-pack abs.
...
The muscular man finally managed to hear his son's rambling, then scooped the little boy up and sat him on his arm: "Don't cry, Nuonuo. Daddy will take you to see what a thunderbolt is."
"Hey boss, what are you selling?"
The little boy looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, then covered his eyes with his hands, as if afraid that a bolt of lightning would strike after his father paid the bill.
Can we please not buy Lei?
"This is called Lei Cha, a beverage made by grinding tea leaves, ginger, peanuts, and various other ingredients together."
Qin Yi gestured for the muscular man to look at the signboard hanging in front of her stall.
She knew that customers would ask about it, so she specially made this dish.
The signboard in front of the stall features an introduction to Lei Cha on the left and a selection of Lei Cha varieties on the right.
"Hmm..." The muscular man looked at the menu and thought for a moment: "I'll have three bowls of sweet iced Lei Cha, one of which can be served without ice for Nuonuo."
Then I scanned the QR code and paid 30 yuan.
The little boy quickly hid his head under his father's forehead, but after waiting for a long time, the thunder never struck.
Instead, his father put him down on the ground, handed him a paper bowl, a small spoon, and a straw, and said to him, "This rascal can be eaten, and it can also be drunk like a beverage. Nono, why don't you try it?"
The little boy glanced at his father, who didn't seem to be lying, and took two gulps of his drink from the paper bowl in his hand through the straw.
"Do you like it?" Dad asked.
The little boy had no adjectives, he could only nod vigorously: "Delicious, delicious, the raisins are delicious, and the beans inside are delicious too!"
"Nono, have some tea and play around here for a while. Daddy and Auntie will discuss some work matters and come find you later."
The little boy's eyes were fixed on the food in his bowl, and he nodded perfunctorily.
While eating, Shen Nuonuo walked to the convenience store where A-Gui's family usually played.
During her father's livestreaming hours, Shen Nuonuo would run to visit and play at nearby shops.
"Ah Gui! I have something delicious here, come out quickly!"
Upon hearing that there was something delicious, A-Gui darted out from the back house, looking around and asking, "Where? Where is it?"
Shen Nuonuo placed the paper bowl containing the raffinose on the glass display case of the convenience store, pointed at it and said, "This is the raffinose! It's sweet and fragrant, and there are lots of things to eat inside."
Looking at the bowl of emerald green "drink," A-Gui asked in confusion, "Is it milk tea?"
Shen Nuonuo scooped up a spoonful of spices and put it in her mouth: "That's much better than a milk tea stick!"
Ah Gui secretly swallowed, then stared intently at Chen Nuonuo's bowl and said, "Really? I don't believe it."
"How can you not believe me!" the little boy exclaimed anxiously. "Bring me a cup, and I'll share some with you."
Ah Gui had been waiting for these words, so he immediately squatted down and took out his extra-large enamel mug from the cabinet, saying, "Pour me some."
"Ah, isn't this your instant noodle bowl?"
"This is my cup."
"Ah, okay then, hold on tight." Then Shen Nuonuo used her small spoon to scoop three spoonfuls and poured them into A Gui's large porcelain jar.
"That's too stingy," Ah Gui said, tilting the cup so he could barely see a little bit of green stuff at the bottom.
"Take a look and see if it tastes good. If it doesn't, give it back to me." After saying that, she generously gave A-Gui two peas.
Ah Gui lifted the large porcelain jar above his head, and the green liquid flowed down the long side of the jar, while the peas slid into his mouth.
The little beans, mixed with a touch of sweet juice, burst in your mouth.
Ah Gui chewed many times, and even after he had completely swallowed the bean, he was still pretending to chew, searching for that flavor.
"What is this called! Where did you buy it?" A-Gui asked Chen Nuonuo while licking the last bit of liquid left on the cup.
"Hehe! This is a thunder fork made by Lei Mu, my dad bought it for me! Isn't it amazing!"
Ah Gui was a little older than Chen Nuonuo, and when he heard the name, he still felt something was off: "Really? How can there be a drink with such a name? Give me a little more, you still have such a big bowl."
"Hey! Gui, can you give me one of those Ultraman cards you've been hiding?"
"Ah~~~~ That's just too much!" A-Gui put the large porcelain jar back down.
Seeing that he wouldn't give her any, Shen Nuonuo scooped out a lot of bright green peas and tender yellow corn kernels from the bottom of the bowl, and then brought her face close to Agui to chew.
He looked like he was asking for a beating, as if to say, "You don't have it, do you?"
Even with his eyes closed, Ah Gui could hear the crunching sounds of chewing, followed by the gurgling sound of someone drinking a beverage through a straw.
He swallowed hard, wiping away the saliva that was already overflowing in his mouth, rushed into the inner room, and came out with a box of cards. "You can only draw them! You can't choose!"
Upon hearing that Agui had agreed, Shen Nuonuo quickly put down the paper bowl in her hand and happily went to draw a card.
While Shen Nuonuo was completely absorbed by the card, Agui picked up the paper bowl and poured it into his large porcelain jar, while also using a spoon to scoop out most of the bottom portion!
While Shen Nuonuo was happily looking at the card she had drawn, A Gui picked up his porcelain jar and gulped it down, showing it off vigorously.
In the blink of an eye, Ah Gui finished his tea and began to raise his cup high, open his mouth wide, and swallow the remaining ingredients.
When Shen Nuonuo returned after reading the card and putting it in her pocket, she saw that there were only a few crumbs left in her bowl. She stared in disbelief at A Gui, who was chewing his food with gusto across from her.
"Where's my Thunder Fork?!"
"I ate them all. Didn't you say you'd exchange them for cards?"
"Aww~ Didn't you say you'd get a little bit more? Is this even a little bit?"
Ah Gui: "Hehe, I recently learned a new word, '亿点点'!"
Shen Nuonuo couldn't understand, and ran out the door crying...
