"You know, this Lei Cha is quite special. It has the refreshing taste of tea leaves and the rich aroma of nuts. This is the first time I've ever tried this. I've never seen anyone selling it in this town before."
The muscular man ate very quickly, finishing the bowl in no time.
The female anchor, looking at her empty bowl, wasn't satisfied: "I think it tastes better than milk tea, and these ingredients are all-natural. One bowl isn't enough at all. I'll go see what other flavors they have?"
"Waaah, Daddy!" Shen Nuonuo ran over and bumped into her father's eight-pack abs again. "My Razor is gone! Agui ate it all! Waaah~"
The muscular man wiped away the little boy's tears: "Daddy and Auntie have finished theirs too, let's go! Let's each buy another cup!"
Taking advantage of the free time, Qin Yi put some ginger slices into the mortar, placed the newly made large mortar between her knees to hold it in place, and then used the pestle to pound the ginger slices up and down repeatedly.
"Brother, look, do I look good in this flower wreath?"
“My baby looks beautiful in anything, and with a flower crown, she looks like a fairy.”
"Hey? Brother, look! There's a stall selling Lei Cha (擂茶), I've never tried it before."
A couple walked hand in hand to Qin Yi's stall. The girl gently rested her head on the boy's shoulder as they looked down at the price list in front of the stall and chose their items.
Boy: "Salty hot Lei Cha? It looks good. Peanuts and sesame seeds should go well with a salty tea."
Girl: "Hmm~ This sweet iced tea looks delicious. One sip is refreshing and pleasant."
The boy frowned slightly: "You've never eaten it before, how do you know that salty food is bad? This bowl has so many ingredients, only salty food will prevent it from being greasy."
The girl turned her head back from the boy's shoulder: "What kind of nice person drinks salty beverages? Don't you know there's a term called 'sweet water'?"
The boy shook his head slightly in disagreement: "I don't think this is a bowl of sweet water. What kind of drink is served in a bowl? Just like you think tofu pudding is a dessert, I think tofu pudding is breakfast. I think this bowl of Lei Cha can also be eaten as a staple food. Look, the ingredients include rice and various grains and nuts. A bowl of this will definitely make you feel very full."
The girl then shook off his hand and said seriously, "You lose if you write more words! The tofu pudding has to be sweet!"
The boy started to argue: "It's not salty enough, and it's not sweet enough. Sweet rice dumplings are delicious, but you guys insist on eating salty ones."
The girl was clearly angered: "Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts; the rice dumpling is the only eternal god!"
Qin Yi, who was originally sitting on a stool grinding ginger, stood up to defuse the awkward situation when she heard the customers arguing: "Actually, the best zongzi are the ones that move on their own, they taste better than the ones that are lying in a box..."
...
The young couple stared at the boss, dumbfounded, for three seconds after hearing this.
Suddenly they all realized: "Hahaha!"
The boy took the girl's hand again and said, "Honey, let's order one savory and one sweet, and eat them together, okay?"
The girl was still a bit angry, "Unless you, Gou Dan, feed me."
Boy: "Okay!"
Qin Yi didn't want to be subjected to any more PDA from the two of them, so she quickly packed up the Lei Cha (a type of tea) and let them take it away.
Just as I was about to sit down and rest, the little boy came to the stall again, his nose still running.
"Waaah, pretty sister, give me another thunderbolt, I want a thunderbolt fork too."
Qin Yi didn't understand: "Huh?"
The muscular man walked up behind the child and translated directly: "Make us another bowl of the iced Lei Cha from before. I'll try this hot, salty Lei Cha. What about you, Xiao Feng?"
The female anchor glanced at the menu and said, "I'd like a rose-flavored Lei Cha (擂茶), isn't it good for both health and beauty?"
"Yes, the rose Lei Cha is a flavored Lei Cha, and it costs 20 yuan a bowl. It contains not only walnuts, peanuts and various nuts, but also Kunlun snow chrysanthemum and golden-edged roses. Roses are rich in vitamin C and anthocyanins, so it is very suitable for girls to drink."
Just as Qin Yi was concentrating on making Lei Cha (pounded tea), a group of furry children ran up to her stall.
"Mother Lei is right here! I've finally found her!" A-Gui shouted, pointing at Qin Yi.
"Mother Lei?" Qin Yi was baffled. "You little madman! Who taught you to call me that?"
Ah Gui pointed at the little boy and said, "Shen Nuonuo said it! Mother Lei sells thunder forks, and the thunder forks are so delicious! But she wouldn't tell me where she bought them, so I had to follow her and finally found you!"
At this moment, Shen Nuonuo seemed to realize that something was wrong and hid behind her father, while also sticking out her tongue at Agui.
"We want to buy Raex!"
"We want to buy Raex!"
A group of children, each saying a sentence, made Qin Yi's head buzz.
Preschool children like them love to follow trends. If Agui says this fried dough stick is delicious, then it must be delicious.
Ah Gui comes to buy a thunder fork, so they should buy one too. It would be really good if everyone owned one.
After the children bought their tea, each of them sat on the steps next to the square, holding a paper bowl, and drank tea.
"Gurgle, gurgle, crunch, crunch."
Some children drank soup with spoons, some sucked on beans through straws, and some even drank directly from the bowls.
"What Ah Gui said is true, the fried dough sticks are even tastier than milk tea, and there are lots of fruit at the bottom of the bowl!"
Seeing her treasured thunder fork being bought by so many children, Shen Nuonuo felt a mix of bitterness and pride.
All I could do was shout to my friends in my childish voice, "I was the first to discover this!"
...
Passing tourists turned around and wondered, "Hey? Why are there a row of children sitting there drinking soup from bowls?"
"What is that bowl of stuff they're holding that looks like soup but isn't quite soup?"
"Judging from their expressions, it looks like it's quite delicious."
"That chubby little guy in the middle is eating the fastest. Everyone else has only drunk a third of the wine, and he's already licking the bottom of his bowl. Is it really that delicious?"
"Look at that little one on the left! He's drinking from his own bowl, but his eyes are glued to the food next to him. He even picked up two beans that the other child dropped on his clothes!"
"And on the right, there's a cute little boy and a boy with a bowl cut playing rock-paper-scissors. The loser has to give the winner a spoonful of something from his bowl."
"You could even notice that? You have excellent observation skills."
"Of course, I'm here to gather material for our program, so I definitely need to have a keen eye."
"Oh? Friend, which program are you from?"
"Hey friend, have you heard of 'A Bite of Rainbow City'?"
