Chapter 159: Adding Milk and Sugar to Tea
The younger children looked at the older children.
The boy who had just taken off his shirt said, "Did they really ask you to rescue us?"
Bai Qiao nodded: "Yes, they are my young master and young lady."
"Will we be beaten again in the future?" A child looked at Bai Qiao timidly.
"No, the governor will find kind people to take care of you this time and will not let you be beaten again." Bai Qiao looked at them with a smile.
If I hadn't been taken in by the old lady, even if I didn't end up in an orphanage, I would probably have ended up on the streets.
The children gradually let down their guard and followed the two men to the room for a physical examination.
Governor's Office.
Juanjuan stood on tiptoe and tilted her little neck to look at the table.
Wu Ma filtered the tea, added some milk and sugar, stirred it evenly with a spoon and took a sip.
Juanjuan opened her little mouth, watched her take a sip, and unconsciously swallowed along with her.
"Aunt Wu, is it delicious?"
Wu Ma smacked the taste in her mouth. It wasn't unpalatable, and it had an indescribable texture.
She looked down at Juanjuan, who was grabbing the edge of the table with her hands. "Miss, even if it tastes good, I can't give it to you. Last time, you drank a sip of tea and couldn't sleep all night."
"Have you forgotten that you dozed off in class the next day?"
Juanjuan was like a deflated ball, loosening her hands. "Okay! I just want to know what it tastes like."
When Aunt Wu saw her pitiful appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
"I'll dip my chopsticks in it for you to taste, but only a little bit!"
Juanjuan's beautiful eyes immediately lit up, and her depressed face immediately put on a bright smile: "Okay."
Mother Wu found a chopstick, dipped it in the bowl, and handed it to her mouth.
Juanjuan took a bite and licked the residue on the corner of her pink lips with her little tongue: "It tastes good."
"The taste may need to be adjusted." Aunt Wu said as she tried making several with different proportions.
"It would be nice if there were some snacks in it." Juanjuan suddenly blurted out.
Aunt Wu looked at the bowl she was talking about, which contained the prepared milk tea.
She was full of questions. Where should snacks be placed?
What kind of snacks can be eaten in it?
Just when I was about to ask what kind of snacks were on the questionnaire, the little girl ran away.
She didn't know whether she should ask her or not.
Madam Si came to the kitchen and saw a row of bowls on the table, all of which contained some strangely colored water. "Auntie Wu, what is this?"
"Last time, the young lady suggested adding milk and sugar to tea, so I tried it to see if it would work." Aunt Wu said with a smile.
"This girl just said it casually, but you still want to make it." Madam Si looked at the many bowls on the table and asked: "Can you drink it? How did you make so many?"
"It's quite delicious, with a unique taste. I added different ratios of milk and sugar to these bowls, and I told you guys to try which one tastes better later."
As Wu Ma said this, she handed Madam Si a small spoon.
Madam Si tasted each bowl and said that the taste was quite special: "I always feel like something is missing?"
"The young lady just said that she wanted to add some snacks. Are there any snacks missing?" Aunt Wu remembered what Juanjuan said.
Madam Si shook her head: "It just feels like the taste isn't blending well."
"No fusion?" Wu Ma fell into deep thought, carefully recalling the steps she had taken.
She slapped her head and said, "I brewed the tea separately, filtered the water, and then added milk and sugar to it."
"You're using green tea here. Try using black tea this time. It's best to put all the tea leaves in a gauze bag so it's easier to fish them out later."
Madam Si gave her own suggestions.
Mother Wu nodded, went to find some gauze, sewed a cloth bag with needle and thread, poured the black tea bag into it, and sewed it up.
She found a clean small pot, put in tea bags and water, waited until the tea soup came out, took out the tea bags, poured in milk, and stirred it slowly over low heat.
Finally, pour in the sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves.
This time the color is light brown, which looks much better than before, and you can also smell the fragrance of tea and milk.
Madam Si came forward and looked at the milk tea in the pot: "The color looks much more beautiful than before."
"I'll let it cool for a while, and then you can try it, Madam." Auntie Wu used a spoon to scoop the milk tea into several bowls to cool.
After the milk tea was no longer so hot, he handed it to Mrs. Si.
Wu Ma also called the housekeeper and the servants and handed each of them a bowl: "Try it, how does it taste?"
The aroma of milk wrapped in the aroma of tea enters your mouth, without the bitterness of tea, but with a light sweetness.
The taste is quite strange, but no one found it unpalatable.
“Delicious!”
"What is this, Auntie Wu? Why is it so delicious?" A group of people looked at Auntie Wu curiously.
"This is what the young lady said, tea leaves, milk and sugar." Wu Ma said with a smile.
"Ah! He can really drink it!" The group of people were a little unbelievable.
"Of course it's drinkable, and it tastes delicious. But the lady also said that it's missing some snacks." Auntie Wu still doesn't know what these snacks are.
"Snacks? What kind of snacks?" The group of people were also full of question marks.
They turned to Madam Si for answers.
Madam Si looked at the pairs of inquiring eyes and said, "Don't look at me. I really don't know what this snack is. I'm afraid the child won't be able to tell you what it is if you ask him now."
Aunt Wu looked at the milk tea and it seemed that she could only figure it out on her own. What could be put into milk tea without going bad and could also be used as a snack?
If it was candies, biscuits or something like that, the lady would definitely tell you directly, but what exactly are snacks?
She took out the snacks of several children at home and checked them one by one, trying to find a suitable one.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen ran over and lay on the coffee table to watch.
"Aunt Wu, are you looking for some snacks?" Si Jinchen watched her looking for a long time.
"I'm looking for snacks that won't go bad if soaked in water." Mother Wu looked at the two children.
Juanjuan scratched his little head: "Brother, do you have snacks like this?"
"I don't know!" Si Jinchen had never seen such snacks before.
When Aunt Wu looked at the two little ones, she knew that her young lady had forgotten what she had said.
She had no choice but to look for it again seriously. She looked through all the foreign goods but couldn't find any snacks that could be eaten after being exposed to water.
Could it really be that the young lady just said it casually? I can only think about it when I have time.
Thinking of snacks, she simply went to the kitchen to get out tapioca flour and prepared to make some crystal cakes as snacks for the children.
Juanjuan took Si Jinchen's hand and ran to the kitchen: "Aunt, we want to help too."
Aunt Wu saw that the two little ones had already started to roll up their sleeves, and she was afraid that it would be impossible not to ask them to help.
