Chapter 87 Making Milk Tea

It's spring, and the ice is about to melt, so we need to find a piece of wasteland as soon as possible!
But every piece of land in Yongzhou City should be managed by someone!

No, I'd better ask Dad tonight.

After dinner, Zhao Linger told Mr. Su about her difficulties again. After hearing this, Mr. Su thought for a while and said: "Our family has dozens of acres of wasteland in our hands, and we haven't had time to cultivate it yet. You can go find it." Your mother asks where it is, and if you have time, you can take someone to dig it."

"Ah? Ask my mother?" Zhao Linger hesitated.

Master Su smiled and said, "The land deeds of our family are all in your mother's hands. If you don't ask her, who will you ask for?"

"Okay." Zhao Ling'er sighed, it seems that it is impossible to ask for land at home.

Zhao Ling'er didn't look for Mrs. Su again, and went back to the room sullenly.

The next morning, Ah Ni came to knock on the door of the study and shouted: "Master, madam, please come over."

Su Yi Ning was a little surprised: "What's the matter with calling me? Could it be that she found out that I went to see my elder brother that night?"

So anxiously followed Ah Ni to the hall.

Madam Su stared at him, then patted the place beside her: "Ning'er, come here."

Su Yi Ning pretended to be relaxed and smiled, and said, "Mom, what do you want me to do?"

Mrs. Su said: "I heard that wild girl can't find a place to store ice?"

When Su Yi Ning heard about this, he immediately felt relieved, and immediately said with a sad face: "Yes, hot pot restaurants prepare so much fresh meat and fruits every day, and in summer, to ensure their freshness, they must use a lot of ice. And our hot pot restaurant business is so good now, we will definitely open a branch next year, and the amount of ice used will be even greater, but now we have no money in our hands, and we are worrying about this matter!"

Mrs. Su said sullenly: "Didn't I tell Zhao Linger to report to me everything in the store? Winter will be over soon, why did she think of picking ice at this time?"

Su Yi Ning patted the table and said: "That's right, that's what I said about her. Maybe it's her first time opening a hot pot restaurant and she has no experience! Mother, don't be so fussy with her."

Mrs. Su handed a piece of land deed to Su Yi Ning, and said, "Hmph, if she wasn't the daughter-in-law of the Su family, I wouldn't bother to care about this! I don't want someone to eat stale food next year and have diarrhea. It is said that it was opened by people from our Su Mansion. It sounds so embarrassing to the people of our Su Mansion! Besides, your 1 taels of silver can’t be wasted in vain. Here, give this to her, let her She hastened to send people to collect ice!"

Su Yi Ning was overjoyed, took the land deed, ran back to her small courtyard, and handed the land deed to Zhao Linger.

Zhao Linger asked in surprise: "Is this from mother?"

Su Yining nodded.

"Really? She would take the initiative to hand over the title deed to me?" Zhao Linger still couldn't believe it.

Su Yi Ning said with a smile: "Oh, my mother has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. Don't listen to her being so strict with you on the face, in fact, she just loves to worry."

Zhao Linger didn't say anything anymore.It has to be said that at this moment, she felt a trace of gratitude towards Mrs. Su in her heart.

She hurriedly ordered someone to find shopkeeper Wang, handed over the title deed to him, and asked him to take someone to dig the cellar.

A few days later, Zhao Linger went to Mrs. Su to report the situation in the store.

Mrs. Su asked: "How is it? Has the cellar been dug? Is the ice harvested? Is there enough manpower? Is there enough money?"

Zhao Linger nodded and said: "It's all done, thank you mother!"

Mrs. Su snorted softly, ignored her, and continued, "Let someone deliver the hot pot to my house at noon today. Give me a portion of all the dishes in the store. Last time your sister-in-law didn't eat it." , set a table for her to try at noon today."

"Oh, that's awesome!" Zhao Ling'er hurriedly ordered Ah Zhen to go to the store to find shopkeeper Wang to prepare ingredients.

It will be New Year's Eve soon.

Su Mansion started to prepare New Year's goods as early as the beginning of December.

Bacon, venison, mutton, roe deer, rabbit, tiger, fox, mink, chicken, duck, goose...every day, people come in one after another to deliver things.

Mrs. Su ordered people to check one by one, and dragged them into the warehouse in the backyard.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and Zhao Linger rarely goes out these days.

When she came back from the lady's yard just now, she saw someone pulling a cow to the backyard.

Zhao Linger was a little surprised: I can still see cows here?
She excitedly followed and asked the man, "Can this cow still produce milk?"

The man stopped to pull the cow and said triumphantly, "Why not? As long as you have enough feed, you can squeeze out a big bucket every morning!"

"Really? That's great!" Zhao Linger said excitedly.

With milk, there are so many things she can do!

She thought about it, went back to the kitchen, picked up a wooden barrel, ran to the backyard and said to the man, "Can you milk some for me now? I haven't had milk for a long time, and I want to taste it now."

The man squatted down and skillfully squeezed out half of the bucket, and said, "I can't squeeze it out, come back tomorrow morning."

Zhao Ling'er was carrying the wooden bucket, her hands were flushed red by the cold wind.

She suddenly remembered that she hadn't even had the first cup of milk tea in autumn.

Then, in winter, you must make a cup of milk tea to reward yourself.

Back in the kitchen, she asked Ah Zhen to light a fire.

After the pot is hot, pour the tea leaves into it, and then put a few pieces of rock sugar. After the sugar melts and bubbles and turns into caramel color, add boiling water to the pot.After the water boils, pour the freshly squeezed milk into it and cook together, then use a colander to remove the tea leaves.

"Ah!" Ah Zhen sniffed and asked, "Young Mistress, what are you doing? It smells so good!"

Zhao Linger smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone will have a share when it's done!"

After the milk tea was cooked, Zhao Ling'er filled a bowl and handed it to Ah Zhen, saying: "Go and give this bowl to Yi Ning, let him taste it."

He called Ake again and ordered: "You take this bowl to your wife and ask her to taste how it tastes. You stand there and wait until she finishes talking and you come back."

Mrs. Su looked at what Ah Ke brought over, frowned and asked, "What is this?"

A Ke said: "Go back to the old lady, I heard from the young lady that this is the first cup of milk tea she made in winter."

"Milk tea?" Madam Su repeated, taking a sip with half-belief.

Well, it's a little sweet, with a bit of caramel, milk and tea.

Never had tea with this taste.

Is this tea?

She tasted it carefully in her mouth, then picked up the bowl and took another big sip.

Well, this smell...

This Zhao Ling'er was tossing about these strange things all day long.

She took another sip, put the bowl on the table, and seeing that A Ke hadn't left, she asked, "What are you still doing here?"

A Ke whispered: "Go back to the old lady, the young mistress said that I will not go back until you reply."

"Hmph!" Mrs. Su said, "Tell her to spend more time with Yi Ning in the future, and stop doing these messy things all the time."

After Zhao Linger heard it, she smiled and didn't take it seriously. Seeing that there was still half a pot of milk tea left in the pot, she invited Ah Zhen and the others to come and taste it.

After drinking it, everyone sighed that they had never drunk such tea.

"Is this considered tea? But why is the taste so unusual!"

"This tea smells so good!" Ah Ke couldn't help sighing.

At this time, Mrs. Su sent someone over to call Zhao Linger to eat.

Mrs. Su pulled Mu Yunqing to sit on the main seat, and said, "Try it, this Zhao Ling'er doesn't know what kind of tricks she did, she made it so gaudy, and put so many dishes for a meal."

Mu Yunqing smiled, picked up a piece of bamboo shoot, put it in the mushroom soup pot, scalded it, and took a bite: "Mmm, it's so fresh!"
