Seeing her second brother's honest, kind, and helpful nature, even though he said she didn't need to pay him wages, Zhiyin decided to ask for less when they returned the money.
Thinking that he didn't need to go to the county for the next few days, Zhiyin lent his mule cart to his second brother.
This way, he could drive the mule cart with his second sister-in-law to sell glutinous rice in the morning, without having to walk anymore.
"By the way, Second Brother, when you go to the county, could you please take these two pigeons to Zhiji Qianwei Dry Pot Restaurant and give them to a guy named Wang Dachuan?"
Seeing that her second brother was about to leave, Zhiyin quickly handed her two big, chubby pigeons, which were cute and adorable, to him.
"Okay, okay!"
The second brother nodded repeatedly in agreement. Looking at the pigeons perched on either side of his shoulders, he curiously teased the little pigeons with his hands.
…
"Sister, sister~"
"Roar roar roar~"
"Woof woof woof~"
…
Just as Zhiyin was about to go home, several familiar and joyful voices came from behind her.
The listener recognized the owner of the voice and turned around reflexively, only to see the coal ball rushing towards it like a madman.
Behind it were several little boys and girls, about the same age as Zhihua, dressed exquisitely.
They chattered excitedly around Yuan Yuan Meng Meng, playfully rubbing her round ears and body.
The two little tigers could only roar, but unfortunately, they were completely harmless and only made them look even cuter.
"Ahhh!!! They're so cute, I love them so much, I want to have them!"
The four or five children next to them became even more excited upon seeing this. Their eyes sparkled, their faces flushed, and they shouted wildly with excitement.
She kept pulling Zhihua along, chattering away. Zhihua looked at Zhiyin with eyes full of helplessness.
Upon witnessing this harmonious scene, Zhiyin couldn't help but smile gently.
Soon, everyone surrounded Yuanyuan and Mengmeng and brought them to Zhiyin.
The moment Yuanyuan and Mengmeng saw Zhiyin, they immediately felt wronged and kept burrowing into her arms, crying and pointing at the little ones with their chubby paws with teary eyes, complaining.
"Good boy, good boy, the children didn't do it on purpose. They just like you and that's why they play with you."
After hearing their aggrieved complaints that the children were too annoying and noisy, Zhiyin chuckled and patted the two tigers on the back to comfort them.
Then she looked at the little ones in front of her, who were staring longingly at the two little tigers, their arms crossed over their chests in a restrained manner.
“It’s so late, you should go home so your parents won’t worry about you.”
Hello, sister!
"Let's go home now!"
The little ones smiled sweetly at Zhiyin very politely, then bid a reluctant farewell to Zhihua before turning back, looking back every few steps.
Zhiyin found it amusing and immediately waved to the group with a smile, saying, "Come again next time if you have the chance. Come earlier next time, and I'll treat you to something to eat."
"Okay, sister, you're so kind!"
Upon hearing this, the little ones were overjoyed and skipped and hopped back home.
Just as Zhiyin was worried that the little ones might encounter danger, a group of panting people came running up in front of them.
They were clearly the parents of little ones, fiercely scolding their children while glancing warily at Mengmeng and Yuanyuan in Zhiyin's arms, their hearts filled with lingering fear.
They were terrified that their child might be in danger, after all, it was a notorious tiger, no joke!
But it can eat people!!!
"Sweetie, let's go home for dinner!"
Upon seeing this, Zhiyin immediately relaxed and took Zhihua's hand to walk back.
After returning home, he frowned and looked at Yuanyuan and Mengmeng. His smile disappeared, and he said seriously, "Meiqiu can go pick up Huahua, but you can't. I'm afraid you'll run into danger!"
She wasn't afraid the two tigers would harm the children, but if a naughty child scratched them and they reacted reflexively in pain, or if the tigers accidentally injured a child while playing together, the children's parents would definitely not let it go.
After all, although the two tiger cubs are still young, the power of a wild beast should not be underestimated.
If those parents were so worried about their child being injured by the two tigers that they set a trap to kill them, it would cause irreparable harm to both sides.
Yuanyuan's mother will definitely avenge them, and she might even kill someone!
After all, once a ferocious beast goes berserk, the damage it causes is immeasurable.
She really didn't want to see this happen!
"Okay, sister, I'll keep an eye on Yuanyuan and Mengmeng."
Zhihua initially didn't take it seriously, but after hearing Zhiyin explain how serious it was, she couldn't help but feel both afraid and relieved.
Mengmeng and Yuanyuan were initially unhappy, but after hearing Zhiyin's explanation, they realized that Zhiyin was thinking of them, and they reluctantly agreed.
…
The next day, after finishing breakfast, Zhiyin began to wash the hay she had collected the day before.
Yao Yulin, who was passing by, looked puzzled and confused. "Yinyin, what are you doing? Eating grass? And such dry grass at that? What's the point of that?"
She was completely baffled. Even after racking her brains, she couldn't figure out what the purpose of the hay was.
Zhiyin looked up at Yao Yulin with a mischievous smile and blinked, "Hehe, Mom, this is something good!"
"Don't blink!! You're about to witness a miracle!"
The author kept it a secret, not saying it directly, and everyone was eagerly anticipating seeing Yao Yulin's jaw drop in surprise.
After she finished speaking, she washed the hay clean, quickly put the things into the pot, added baking soda and water, covered the pot, and started boiling it over high heat.
"Mom, please keep an eye on it for me. Once it boils, use an iron block to suppress the fire and simmer it for about 40 minutes. Call me when the time is up."
Zhiyin gave instructions to Yao Yulin.
Yao Yulin nodded, looking completely bewildered, "Okay, okay!"
Having said that, he obediently stared intently at the hay in the pot.
Zhiyin smiled gently, then took out another non-stick pan and scooped out a small amount of the black tea she had bought yesterday.
Looking at the tea in his hand, Zhiyin couldn't help but sigh that ancient tea was truly expensive, comparable to gold!
One jin (500 grams) is actually 20 liang (100 grams)!
And the tea she bought wasn't even the finest black tea.
"Fortunately, a pound is a lot, so it can last a long time."
After a moment of astonishment, Zhiyin quickly mixed the white sugar with the tea leaves and stir-fried it over low heat until it turned caramelized.
Next, add hot water and bring it to a boil. Once the water turns tea-colored, add the milk squeezed yesterday and simmer over low heat while stirring constantly.
In no time, a rich aroma of tea, mixed with the milky fragrance of milk, wafted out.
The two flavors blend together almost perfectly, creating a fresh and fragrant aroma that is sweet and delightful, instantly uplifting your mood.
