The group soon arrived at the shop. Some were unloading the goods, some were tidying up, and everyone was doing their job.
Li Yan carried two buckets of milk to the kitchen, preparing to teach her cousin how to make milk tea later.
After putting the items in order, Li Yan asked her eldest brother to go to the utility room to get some of the tea sent by the Qian family.
This tea was delivered a few days ago after Li Yan and Qian Wang agreed on the cooperation. However, due to the problem of refugees at that time, the production of milk tea was delayed.
Mr. Li Yan boiled water and prepared to make a jar of mint water. The mint water was priced at one cent per bowl and was mainly prepared for those who had little money and had traveled a long time in the summer.
After her cousin brought the tea leaves, Li Yan lit a fire in another kitchen, then stood up and began to teach her cousin how to make milk tea.
When the stove was heated, Li Yan put sugar and tea leaves into the pot, and then kept stirring until it turned caramel color and started to bubble.
Pour water into the pot, stirring constantly with your hands until the water boils, then pour goat milk into the pot.
As the milk tea in the pot boiled again, the milk tea mixed with the aroma of milk gradually diffused into the air.
Li Jianmin stared at his cousin's actions without blinking. He knew milk and tea, but he had never known there was such a combination. Smelling the fragrance in the air, it was actually quite good!
After scooping up the residue in the pot with a colander, Li Yan served a bowl for her eldest brother to taste. Li Jianmin didn't care that the milk tea was still hot, and couldn't wait to taste it, and then his eyes widened in amazement.
He had tasted both milk and tea, but he had never expected the combination of the two to be so delicious.
Silky and mellow, the blend of the two flavors is truly unique.
Li Yan handed the colander to her eldest brother, signaling him to help scoop out the tea leaves first, while she went to the utility room to get a jar. This jar was newly customized by him from Yaokou Village. It was large in size and had a wide opening, making it the best choice for cooling freshly brewed milk tea.
After teaching her elder brother how to make milk tea, Li Yan told him that she wanted to go to the county government office.
It was still early, so Li Yan planned to go early and come back early.
After explaining things to her elder brother, Li Yan brought over a food box and filled a small earthenware jar with four cans of milk tea. She also gave some to Zheng Hui to try. She didn't know what the situation was with the engagement she had said last time.
Before leaving, Li Yan reminded him, "Brother, after you finish making the milk tea, don't forget to return the price list."
Because several new types of food were added, Li Yan drew a new price list last night, which is now placed in the front hall.
"Don't worry, sister. I'll save you the trouble!"
Li Yan passed by the front hall. Xiao Cao was looking at the shop at that time. Seeing Li Yan carrying a bag in one hand and a food box in the other, she immediately wanted to go forward to help.
Li Yan shook her head: "I'm going to the city first. If anyone brings ice at 9:00 PM, just take it!"
Xiaocao stopped and nodded repeatedly.
When Li Yan arrived at the city gate, there were still many people queuing up to enter the city. Li Yan followed the crowd and it took her a cup of tea before she was able to enter the city.
In fact, Li Yan entered the city quite early, but when she arrived at the county government office, the gate was unsurprisingly long line of people waiting to collect food.
Seeing this, Li Yan went to the side door of the county government office first. When the door was knocked open, the gatekeeper saw that it was Miss Li who came to look for her young lady, and did not dare to neglect her. She walked quickly to report the news.
Although they are not the ones who serve their master directly, they are very considerate. If they meet someone their master wants to interact with, they dare not keep the person waiting for a long time.
Sure enough, when Zheng Hui learned that Li Yan came to find her, she did not send the little maid to pick her up, but rushed out to greet her.
Seeing the young lady's anxious look, the old woman stroked her chest which was panting from running. Fortunately, she moved quickly and did not neglect the girl!
Zheng Hui ran to the corner gate and said in surprise, "Why are you here today? Come home and have a seat!"
Li Yan smiled and handed over the lunch box. "I won't be sitting here today. I'll talk to you next time. The shop has new products today, and I have to rush back soon. This is for you to try."
Although Zheng Hui felt a brief sense of loss, she was still in a good mood when she saw the food Li Yan brought her.
She took Li Yan's food box and asked curiously, "What's in it?"
"It's a milk drink. We left in a hurry and didn't have time to put ice in it. If you like it cold, put it in a little while longer!"
Zheng Hui nodded, asked the maid who caught up with her to take out the things, and then returned the food box to Li Yan.
"How did that happen to you?"
Although Li Yan's words were vague, Zheng Hui knew what she was asking.
She leaned close to Li Yan's ear and whispered, "After the refugee situation was settled, Mother sent a trusted nanny south to investigate!"
Li Yan looked at her smiling face and felt better, not as depressed as she had been some time ago.
The two little girls whispered to each other in front of the corner gate. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Yan said goodbye and left.
Zheng Hui was in a good mood and had just stepped into the room with the food that Li Yan had brought her when a little ball rushed into her arms.
The little guy raised his big tearful eyes and looked at his elder sister as if asking for help.
Zhao, who was sitting on a stool, said with a fierce face, "Cheng'er, come here. Today's calligraphy is not finished yet!"
Zheng Hui wiped the tears from her brother's face with a handkerchief, leaned down and coaxed him, "Cheng'er, if you promise me to write the big characters, I'll give you something delicious. I guarantee you've never eaten anything before!"
Zheng Cheng, who originally had a reluctant look on his face, immediately nodded when he heard this, and returned to the small table to start writing seriously.
Zhao glanced at her youngest son who was listening, and said to her daughter in a reproachful tone, "You just spoil him!" But there was no trace of blame in her tone.
This child used to be a very picky eater. Ever since my daughter got the new mold from her friend and made some nice snacks like pigs and flowers, this child has been willing to eat. He seems to have grown a lot stronger this year and doesn't have to take medicine with him all the time!
Zheng Hui sat next to her brother and watched him carefully write a large character. Then she asked someone to bring the food box that Li Yan had sent.
Zheng Hui only heard Li Yan say that this was a dairy product, and she didn't know anything else about its taste or shape.
As soon as he opened the food box, Zheng Cheng stretched out his little head expectantly, wanting to see if there were any beautiful snacks in the box, but what he saw were four earthenware jars.
The maid placed four small earthenware jars on the table. Zheng Hui then opened one and was greeted by a burst of milky aroma.
Zheng Hui brought a jar in front of her, and the jar was still warm.
Without Zheng Hui's instructions, the little maid was very considerate and brought a soup spoon.
The mother and her two children drank the milk tea with a spoon. If someone didn’t know what was going on, they would have thought they were drinking soup!
