The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

Chapter 131 Taozhi Yaoyao

Zhou Sisi looked at Chen Xiuying. Is she the one I was thinking of?

Chen Xiuying, that’s the one you’re thinking of!

Everyone couldn't understand the exchange of glances between the two of them, so they took a sip out of curiosity.

Master Chen: "Hmm! Did you put milk here?"

Chen Xiuying nodded, "Yes, I added some milk."

Mother Chen: "There's tea in there."

Chen Xiuying: "Yes, this is a cup of milk tea."

Xiao Xiangsheng raised his small spoon and said, "There's a little jelly cake in there!"

Dali also added: "There is fruit pulp in it!"

Chen Xiuying: "You're right." Then she pointed to the white stuff floating on top and said, "This is milk cream. It's just that the well isn't cool enough, so the cream will melt in a short while."

Xu Wu, who was standing by, was surprised when he heard this: "Don't you have an ice cellar?"

Zhou Dajiang: "I was so busy last year that I forgot to store the ice."

"It's not too late to use it now. Buy some saltpeter and you can make ice as well." Xu Wu still said in his cold voice.

Chen Xiuying, yes, how could I forget about making ice with saltpeter? "Dad, please get this done by tomorrow. I want to sell this drink separately until I sell all the peaches."

Zhou Dajiang was dumbfounded. "Where can I buy saltpeter?"

"Didn't your factory set off firecrackers? If you can buy firecrackers, you can also buy saltpeter."

Zhou Dajiang, "Okay." He knew who to find.

Mr. Chen said to his daughter while drinking, "Your milk tea is delicious, but the bowl it comes in isn't very good."

Chen Xiuying frowned, "If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten. I didn't have any cups at home, so I used a bowl. If I want to sell this, I have to find a way."

Zhou Sisi immediately raised her voice, "I know this! Use a bamboo tube! It would be even better if it has a reed stem." This is how it's played on TV.

Zhou Dajiang scratched his ears and said, "If you know it, then just tell me. Why are you making such a loud noise? You scared me!"

Mother Zhou glanced at her son and said, "I think Sisi's idea is good."

Chen Xiuying, "Okay, I'll put it in a bamboo tube tomorrow."

Yu Quan, who had been insignificant until now, finally interrupted and said, "Then I will go cut bamboo tomorrow."

Yu Fuan: "I'm with Dad."

Zhou Sisi was very happy to see that her suggestion was adopted, and immediately said, "Then I will decorate the bamboo tube later."

Mrs. Yu also interjected, "Then I, the old woman, will go get some reeds."

Qing Er also said anxiously: "I, I,"

Before she could utter the third "I", Chen Xiuying interrupted, "You can't. You have to go to town with me. Milk tea tastes better when it's freshly made."

After saying that, he looked at Master Chen and Mother Chen again, "Dad, Mom, I want to use your house for a while."

Master Chen: "Why are you being so polite to your own parents? Didn't I tell you before that you can use the house if you want? It's just that we haven't added anything to it yet. You have to prepare everything yourself."

Chen's mother also said: "That's right! Why don't we ask Dajiang to build a baking oven room for you in our house, so that you can bake a few more pots there when you are free during the day." It was really because the two shopkeepers Li were urging us to buy more goods.

"That's fine. If you don't mind, I'll join you. You can make honey cakes at home, and I'll make peach crisps and peach cream cakes in town."

Xiao Xiangsheng: "What about the peach jelly?"

Chen Xiuying pinched his little nose and said, "Make the peach jelly at home the night before and give it to Xiaoxiang raw, okay?"

Little Xiangsheng nodded, "Okay!" Then he said seriously, "Xiangsheng will only eat a little bit, and sell the rest."

Master Chen teased him, "Who will spend the money from selling it?"

Xiao Xiangsheng blinked his eyes and said, "Sell it for grandpa to spend."

Zhou Sisi also teased him, "Then who are you going to give the flowers to?"

"Give it back to my sister."

……

So, amidst the laughter and joy, the packaging of this drink was decided.

In the next three days, Zhou Dajiang asked Xue Ren to help buy saltpeter, and Xu Wu helped make ice.

Zhou Dajiang went to town to set up the oven his wife had requested. He also took the molds and baking trays Zhou Dahe had sent, the small plates for peach cakes and layer cakes his eldest brother had sent, firewood, and other ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and oil to his father-in-law's house in town.

Some bamboo tubes and reed stems for milk tea were also prepared, but my daughter said she wanted to decorate them, so I left them for my wife to take with her that day.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Chen Xiuying brought the prepared bamboo tubes and cold cakes, and also filled a bucket of ice and wrapped it in a quilt.

There was still a pile of honey in the car, so Gu Zao, his two mothers and Qing'er set off for the town.

Zhou's mother drove the carriage and first sent her daughter-in-law and Qing'er to Chen's house. Then she and Chen's mother went to deliver the goods. They also agreed with the restaurant that there would be new food and drinks today, which would be ready around noon, and asked them to go to Mr. Chen's house on East Street to pick them up after noon.

When Manager Li heard that there was new food, he was naturally very happy. In the past few days, people have been lining up to order cakes at his restaurant every day, and the number of people dining at the restaurant has also increased. If there were any new food, it would be icing on the cake.

So before noon, he took the waiter and went to East Street.

There was no need to ask when they arrived at East Street. They found the place by smelling the aroma of baking cakes.

Several kinds of food have been prepared. Chen Xiuying packed one as well as two cups of milk tea. "These are the new foods I prepared. They are all seasonal. Once the peaches are sold out, they will be gone."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Li immediately tried each one. Each one had a different flavor, especially the milk tea, which was so cool. Drinking a sip of it in the hot summer was just a delight!

Shopkeeper Li had drunk many drinks with ice, including those with fruit juice, but this was the first time he had drunk a drink that was a combination of milk, tea, and cold cake, all with ice.

There are only two words to describe it: enjoyable!

However, this time Chen Xiuying wanted to sell it herself, so she unified the selling price.

"I'll give you a 40% discount on the milk cake and peach pastry, and then you can sell them at the original price. Don't worry, I'll also sell them at the original price for takeout, so you won't lose out."

Shopkeeper Li was surprised to hear this and said, "That's great! How much can you offer today? I want them all!"

"The quantity isn't huge. We only have two stoves here, and the milk we can produce is limited. We can only make four batches of this cream cake a day, and ten batches of this peach pie, no, this peach pastry."

Shopkeeper Li bargained with her, "It's enough for a big meal, and this is too little!"

Chen Xiuying, "No, no, no, it's not enough. I still need to make milk tea with the remaining ingredients."

"How do you sell this milk tea?"

"You can have the milk tea. It's still 40% off, and it's also limited." Chen Xiuying pointed to the bamboo tubes on the table. "We have a limited supply of bamboo tubes. Once these are sold out, we won't be selling any more."

Shopkeeper Li picked up the bamboo tube on the table and said, "You have too little. I may not even be able to sell it!"

Don't even think about going to the capital city, it's too far! By the time you get there, everything will have melted.

"How about this," Shopkeeper Li pondered for a moment, "From now on, make more every day, and I'll arrange for the servants to come and pick it up."

Chen Xiuying thought about it, but still couldn't make a promise. "If this bamboo tube can be recycled, then I'll make more. But there's still a limit. There's also a limit on the amount of jelly and ice."

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Li replied, "Anything else?"

"Gone!" Chen Xiuying shook her head.

"So what's the name of your drink? Just milk tea? It doesn't seem to have anything special."

"No! I gave it a nice name, Tao Zhi Yao Yao."
