Come to Yunchao to be the Queen

Chapter 75 What is Coconut
Back at the Ci Palace, I hurried to the back kitchen.As soon as the milk was put down, two palace maids came.I stared at them blankly, "Who are you?"

They didn't speak, they directly put the silver needle into the milk and tea, and then carefully observed the change of the silver needle.Aunt Shen walked in, "Kayman, you've been here long enough..."

I quickly said, "Aunt Shen, something has happened to this servant."

"Don't talk about it, make the milk tea quickly! The Empress Dowager is waiting to drink it!"

"Good good!"

I made milk tea seriously, and then I asked, "Aunt Shen, does the Empress Dowager like sweets?"

"Why are you asking this?" Aunt Shen became vigilant.

"If the empress dowager likes sweets, the slaves will order a little more sugar..."

"You make ten cups, no sugar for the first cup, a little for the second, a little for the third, and so on..."

"what?"

"Ah what? If you make ten cups, you can make ten cups!"

I was thinking to myself, is this finished?
"Then Aunt Shen..."

"What's the matter with you?"

"Does the Empress Dowager like to drink tea with a strong taste, or does she like to drink milk with a strong taste?"

Aunt Shen asked in surprise, "Is it so troublesome to have a cup of milk tea?"

"Well... if this milk tea has a strong tea flavor, it will be [-]% tea and [-]% milk; if it has a strong milk flavor, it's [-]% milk and [-]% tea."

Aunt Shen said, "You do both!"

"Ah? Do both. With ten cups of sweetness, it takes twenty cups to make! Can the Empress Dowager finish drinking it?"

Aunt Shen's face changed: "No, why do you talk so much?"

"The slaves don't dare, the slaves will do it."

I thought while making milk tea, fortunately I took two buckets of milk.Otherwise, what is enough?

After a while, twenty cups of steaming milk tea were delivered to the Queen Mother.During the process of making milk tea, the two maids and Aunt Shen stared intently, each cup of milk tea was probed by two silver needles.This is really exaggerated!When I wanted to follow Aunt Shen to the Empress Dowager, Aunt Shen would not let me in.Later I learned that the reason for being so strict was because I was afraid that the taste of the empress dowager would be remembered by people with ulterior motives, so I made many cups of milk tea and the dishes were the same.Don't worry about not eating enough.Once there is unfinished tea, the unfinished vegetables will be thrown away and fed to the pigs in the palace.

I stood outside, and after a while, Aunt Shen came out: "Kaiman, the Empress Dowager will let you in."

I was a little nervous and walked in slowly.

"Slave, see the Empress Dowager!"

The Empress Dowager was sitting on the phoenix chair, holding a cup of milk tea in her hand, and said, "Well... this milk tea is really good. Ai's family has never drunk this kind of thing. How can you make this kind of milk tea? What? Where did you learn it?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, milk tea is a very common drink in the hometown of slaves and is very popular. Especially for young people, as long as they go out for shopping, basically everyone has a cup. You can also add pearls, coconut nuts, and tortoise paste in it. . …”

"Wait!" The Empress Dowager interrupted me, "Your hometown is so weird! Pearl Aijia knows what you are talking about. But is this pearl edible?"

Aunt Shen said, "How dare you lie to the Empress Dowager?"

I hurriedly shook my head, "No no no! The servants dare not! The so-called pearls in milk tea are actually small balls made of starch, like glutinous rice balls. It just looks like pearls, so it is called pearl milk tea!"

"If that's the case, why don't you just call it Xiao Wanzi? Then what is coconut fruit? What is Guiling paste?"

"In the words of the Empress Dowager, coconut fruit is coconut gel, which is the fermentation product of microorganisms."

"What is it? Gel? Microbes? What are you talking about? Why can't Aijia understand?"

Beads of sweat flowed down my face, this. . . . . .I am a modern person, explaining pearl milk tea and coconut fruit to an ancient person, I really play the piano to the cow!If this person is an ordinary ancient person, he is still a great empress dowager!How can I explain this!
