When Hong Xiaoduo and A Ping returned to the courtyard, they rushed to tell A Ping that an old woman selling eggs had brought over two baskets of eggs, saying that she had paid for them. Tian Xuan nodded and said that was right, that they had bought them themselves.
"I'm going to figure out how to make milk tea, don't bother me." Quan Jinghuai took the milk jar from Hong Xiaoduo's hand, handed the bamboo basket to Aping, and then gave her instructions.
"We're about to do it, and I still need to think about whether I can do it or not," A-Ping whispered to Tian-Xuan.
Upon hearing this, Tianxuan smiled and said, "That's not something we should worry about. She's always been like this; you'll get used to it."
"Aping, after she makes that milk tea, even if it doesn't taste good, you have to drink it, understand?" Tianji, who was standing nearby, immediately whispered a reminder.
"Yes, that's right. It's rare for her to cook, we can't let her down," Tianxuan agreed and added.
After hearing this, A-Ping was both amused and exasperated, and casually asked, "What if it makes you sick?"
"Don't worry, even if you get poisoned, it's fine. She'll save you. You won't die," Tianquan said with a grin.
After listening to the guys' words, A-Ping felt very complicated. They really weren't worried at all and didn't take it seriously! Their trust in her was unbelievable!
After returning to her room, Hong Xiaoduo went into her spatial dimension and carefully watched the video on making milk tea several times to make sure she had memorized it before leaving the space.
The barbecue was being held in the courtyard, and the scene was already set up.
A long table, a barbecue grill, and so much food that even a square table couldn't hold it all: marinated lamb, lamb chops, pork belly, shrimp, dried fish, chives, dried tofu, cabbage, sliced steamed buns, vegetarian meatballs, and then, a skewer of lamb kidneys!
The charcoal fire was lit. During the time A-Ping had been with them, he hadn't had a barbecue. Hearing everyone get excited about the barbecue, he was a little puzzled, but too embarrassed to ask.
Now, following everyone else, we set up the items, tables, chairs, benches, and so on. After we finished, I saw Tianxuan arranging a row of bottles and jars. When I asked, I found out that they were all seasonings that we would use later.
Barbecue, is this how it is? This is the first time Ah Ping has ever seen it, and he is quite surprised. But after thinking about it, he realized that these people travel all over the country and must know some local specialties. It's normal that he hasn't seen or heard of it before.
However, when they're actually traveling, they don't seem to find it troublesome to carry around such airs. But to be honest, they really know how to enjoy life.
I've only been with them for a short time, but I've already gained weight on my body and face.
"Oh right, Master's wine." Aping was lost in thought when Yuheng ran over to him, talking to himself.
Quan Jinghuai only helped move the large square table, and then the children told him to rest, saying that his master didn't need to do such work. Since he had nothing else to do, he walked around with his hands behind his back, looking at the ingredients to be prepared, and found that this was the most abundant and varied meal he had ever made.
Suddenly, she saw the pair of lamb kidneys strung together, and involuntarily recalled what Hong Xiaoduo had said earlier. Her face immediately flushed, and she quickly turned away and walked away.
Seriously, why do I have to grill the lamb kidneys for him? Can't I just stir-fry them for everyone to eat?
And they said only he can eat this to supplement his body? He hasn't even gotten married yet, what supplements does he need? Pshaw, even if he did get married, his martial arts-trained body wouldn't need any supplements!
Hong Xiaoduo walked out of the house and saw that Tianxuan had already started grilling skewers. She also found some black tea and icing sugar and went into the kitchen.
Feiyan followed closely behind, carrying a small blue floral apron with a small pocket in the front.
"It's okay if I don't tie it; making milk tea won't get my clothes dirty," Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile.
“Mother, we all have some. This one was made for you by Sister Feiyan,” Yaoguang said as she followed in.
Yao Guang was originally standing next to Tian Xuan watching him grill skewers, but when she saw that Hong Xiaoduo was going to make milk tea, she stopped watching the skewers.
"Ah, mine! Then hurry up and tie it for me." Hong Xiaoduo was someone who could provide emotional support, and she said happily.
After helping Hong Xiaoduo tie her apron, Feiyan asked if she needed any help. Hong Xiaoduo said no, but then remembered something and said, "Oh right, Feiyan, could you find our new kettle for me?"
Once the milk tea is made, you can't just take the whole pot out, can you?
Upon hearing this, Fei Yan went to find the teapot. Just as Hong Xiaoduo was about to start a fire, Yu Heng came in and took over the task.
Yao Guang stood by the stove with Yu Heng, who was tending the fire, and heard Hong Xiaoduo muttering, "Which version should we use? Never mind, the sugar will be bitter if it's not cooked properly, and it will waste milk. Let's just make tea first!"
Hong Xiaoduo had no idea that at this moment, everyone, big and small, was not paying attention to the skewers, but was thinking about what kind of milk tea she would make, whether it was made yet, and whether it would taste good.
As the black tea was almost brewed, milk and powdered sugar were added. After simmering for a while, a rich aroma filled the air.
"Wow, it smells so good! Mom, you're amazing!" Yao Guang swallowed and exclaimed admiringly.
Hong Xiaoduo also smelled the aroma of milk tea, but she didn't dare to be secretly pleased. She pretended to be calm and said, "Yaoguang, don't praise it too soon. It has to taste good to be considered a success."
Yao Guang tilted her head and said, "It smells delicious, it must taste good."
Hong Xiaoduo looked at the milk tea bubbling gently in the pot, told Yuheng to keep it on low, and took three bowls, scooping out a little bit from each with a spoon: "You two come and taste it, how sweet is it?"
Yuheng quickly checked the fire in the stove again to make sure it was a small fire and wouldn't get too big. Then he stood up, and he and Yaoguang each picked up their bowls, blew on them, and took a small sip. Wow, this is so delicious!
Hong Xiaoduo picked up the other bowl, took a sip, and felt relieved. It was done.
“I think we could add a tiny bit more sugar,” she said.
Upon hearing this, Yuheng and Yaoguang said in unison, "It's already very delicious!"
Hong Xiaoduo knew that neither she nor her sister had ever drunk milk tea before, so she couldn't offer any advice. She finished the last sip of her drink, put the bowl down, and then added a little more powdered sugar to the pot.
I tasted it again, and this time it was almost right.
"You two drink it, there's plenty more here, enough to drink." Seeing that the two girls were reluctant to finish the remaining milk tea in their bowls, Hong Xiaoduo quickly said.
After hearing what she said, the two of them finished what little was left in their bowls.
Feiyan brought back the newly bought kettle. Before even entering the door, she exclaimed how fragrant it was. She had washed the kettle when she bought it, but hadn't used it since. Now that Hong Xiaoduo wanted to use it, she rinsed it inside and out with boiling water before handing it to her.
"Try it first." Hong Xiaoduo scooped out another half bowl for Feiyan.
Feiyan didn't stand on ceremony and took it. As she blew on it, she watched as Hong Xiaoduo placed the strainer on the spout of the teapot and scooped the tea soup into it.
"My goodness, Xiaoduo, how did you make this? It tastes so good!" Feiyan couldn't help but praise after taking a small sip.
"No need to ask. Just watch me do it tomorrow, and I'll teach you," Hong Xiaoduo replied without even looking up.
Once Feiyan has been taught how to make it, she can have it ready-made whenever she wants.
"Okay," Fei Yan replied happily, and then she couldn't help but smile as she thought about what the young men had told A Ping when she brought the pot over...
