He went out early the next morning, and came back in the afternoon, bringing back a great deal of strange things.

There is a scoop that looks like a scoop of water, but in fact there is a colander of gauze underneath.

There are also tin cans with ears that look like pen holders, but they are larger, and there are several large sake jugs for pouring sake.

The main thing is that there is a small bucket of white yellow milk, which exudes a strong fishy smell.

"Brother, what are these things?" Zhou Min asked curiously.

Zhou Yi said: "Of course, I will make you something that you have never eaten, okay, you go and prepare some white sugar." ”

"Sugar?"

"Yes, white sugar, and then boil all this white sugar to syrup, the idea is not to cook it too old." Zhou Yi commanded.

Zhou Min was completely confused, but since Zhou Yi said so, she would do it immediately.

Crush all the tea leaves made yesterday by hand, put them in a bowl for later use, and then use the iron can that has already been marked with a scale to boil water on the fire, and after the water boils, pour the crushed tea leaves into it and boil, after a while, the water will become a little red, Zhou Yi quickly took the net, poured the tea into it, and filtered out the tea residue, and after repeating it seven or eight times, what was obtained was already dark red tea.

Zhou Min's syrup had already been boiled, and Zhou Yi began to heat the milk, which was very simple, as long as it was boiled.

Everything was ready, Zhou Yi smiled: "Come on, come on, bring a big teacup, and then it's time to witness the miracle." ”

Pour the boiled milk into a cup, almost just enough to cover the base, then pour in some boiled syrup, pour in the warm tea, take a chopstick, and stir these things well. The snow-white milk is mixed with the red tea, and the two colors are intertwined to form a circle of patterns on the surface, which is very beautiful.

"Well, that's what I make, I call it milk tea, it's beautiful, right? Come, take a sip. Zhou Yi said triumphantly to Zhou Min, and then served the teacup to Zhou Min as if he was invited.

"This ...... Can you drink it? Zhou Min took it cautiously, but still didn't dare to enter.

After Zhou Yi's repeated persuasion, Zhou Min reluctantly took a sip. As soon as the milk tea was in his mouth, the whole expression on his face changed.

"How?" Zhou Yi looked at him hopefully.

After a long time, Zhou Mincai said: "Yes, the boiled milk is added to the tea, which not only removes the fishy smell, but also incorporates the sweetness of the tea, and then uses sugar to raise this sweetness to a new level, so delicious, I have never tasted it." ”

"It's so delicious." Zhou Min tasted it for a while, and couldn't wait to pour down a large sip of milk tea.

"Poof......

The next moment, the milk tea that had just entered his mouth was sprayed on Zhou Yi opposite.

Zhou Yi jumped up in shock and shouted, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Zhou Min said embarrassedly: "I didn't pay attention to it all of a sudden, it was too hot." ”

“……”

This is just a small episode, Zhou Min drank the rest of the milk tea, but after drinking too much, the taste didn't seem to be as good as the first sip, and said: "It's okay overall, but brother, why do I always feel that something is weird." ”

"Smelling weird? Impossible. Zhou Yi was a little hesitant, he picked up the already warm milk tea and poured it into his mouth.

"Poof......

The next moment, the milk tea that had just entered his mouth was sprayed on Zhou Min opposite.

Zhou Min jumped up in shock and shouted loudly: "Brother, are you taking revenge?" ”

"No, no, sister, you go and wash it." Zhou Yi's face was full of embarrassment, how could he say that the taste of this milk tea was too far from his expectations? It's not too much to say it's hard to swallow.

Just now, Zhou Min may have felt delicious because she felt fresh when she first came into contact with milk tea, and even if it was the first time she drank it, she noticed that something was wrong later.

Zhou Min took a bath, Zhou Yi sat alone in the courtyard with milk tea all over his body and thought, obviously the steps were all right, but why is this taste completely different?

He thought of milk, and the milk of a buffalo was naturally not comparable to the milk of a cow, but there was no way to change it, and it was impossible to go to New Zealand to find a cow now.

Then he remembered that the milk tea he drank was already warm, and the taste was naturally different from that of the freshly brewed milk tea, which may be one of the reasons, and it may also have something to do with the ratio of tea to milk.

There is no way to control the milk, but the temperature and this ratio can be adjusted, Zhou Yi immediately started the second round of experiments, making cup after cup, until the bucket of milk is used up, which raises the taste of milk tea to a slightly satisfactory level.

Tasting Zhou Yi's latest milk tea, Zhou Min was full of praise.

Eating lunch, Zhou Yi discussed with Zhou Min: "Sister, how much money do we have?" ”

"There are still a few dollars of silver, if my father and mother don't come back, maybe we will have to close our business." Zhou Min said gloomily, the teahouse had fallen into this situation during the time she was in charge, and Zhou Min felt very ashamed.

Zhou Yi didn't know what he was thinking, listened to her words, nodded slightly, and said, "It should be about the same, bring it to me, I'll go buy something." ”

"Still want to buy something? If we take it, we won't have any money for dinner tomorrow. It's all to blame on that Wang Xuerong, if he hadn't snatched everything, we would ......" Thinking of this, Zhou Min also felt that his eyes were red.

Sighing, Zhou Yi said helplessly: "If you don't want to find a way, after spending this money, aren't we still in the same situation?" It's just a day ahead now, so it's not a big deal. But if someone drinks the milk tea I make, won't we be able to make money? ”

"Well, my brother is right." Zhou Min pursed his lips and gave the money to Zhou Yi.

That afternoon, Zhou Yi took the money and went out to buy raw materials, but when he came back, he was empty-handed, Zhou Min asked, "What about the things you bought?" ”

"Someone will send it to us tomorrow morning, don't worry."

The time of the day passed quickly, and the next day was not yet dawn, and before the Daguan Tea House had even started to open, I heard a knock on the door outside. The two men reluctantly opened the door, but found a peasant man wearing a hat and a coat standing outside, carrying two heavy wooden barrels, and said, "This is something that a young master bought from me yesterday, and said that I was brought here while it was fresh." ”

"What is it?" A little boy went over and lifted the lid of a bucket, but found that it contained a milky white liquid, emitting a strong jerky and fishy smell, and without checking it, he smoked it so much that he almost vomited it.

"Hey, don't send it to the wrong place, we're a tea shop, what are you doing with these things."

The old farmer grinned, showed his big yellow teeth, and said, "That's right, this is it, don't bully me for not knowing words, I always know the road." ”

The little girl smiled: "Then you should tell me, what is the surname of the person who went to your place to buy things yesterday?" ”

The old farmer was stunned for a moment, then got anxious and said: "He didn't tell me, he is a very handsome young student, and I have already collected all the money, so I must hand over the things to him, otherwise my old man will not feel at ease." ”

"Since you don't know who bought it, and you don't know how to read, how can you be sure that you will send it to us?" The little girl continued.

Suddenly, a voice behind him said, "This is what I bought." It was Zhou Yi who had just gotten up.

When the old farmer saw Zhou Yi, he immediately became elated, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you bought it, and I sent it to you." ”

Zhou Yi smiled at him, personally moved two large buckets of things in, and asked the little maid to make a pot of tea for the old farmer to drink, and then sent him out.

The two little guys were very curious, and asked in unison, "What is this used for?" ”

As early as the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao said: "Milk, it is beneficial for the elderly to cook." ”

However, they didn't think that Zhou Yi bought the milk for them to drink.

Instructed the two of them to take two buckets of fresh milk to the back kitchen, Zhou Min had already prepared the things, and on a small stove there was a large iron can that Zhou Yi specially bought, with only a little water in it, which had been boiled.

Seeing that Zhou Yi brought the milk in, Zhou Min hurriedly grabbed a handful of tea leaves and threw them into the boiling water to boil, and after a while, the rich fragrance of tea had already wafted throughout the room.

The proportion of milk tea is only known to Zhou Yi alone, and he has no intention of telling this secret to his closest sister at all, and now milk tea is tantamount to a second life for him, and it must be firmly controlled in his own hands.

So Zhou Min was sent out to solicit customers.

It is undeniable that Zhou Min has all the conditions that a high-IQ beauty should have, at least in terms of wisdom, Zhou Yi has to admire.

She divided the milk tea that Zhou Yi had only made into spoons and put them in delicate snow-white goblets little by little, then packed them on a tray, set up a large table outside the store, and hung advertising slogans written by herself.

Although she said that she had never entered the school, there was some ink in her stomach, and the advertising slogan she wrote was a limerick poem:

"Innocent, smooth, and greedy, let you pick it only for the sake of fame. The buffalo milk turns over the tricks, and the lips and teeth can't stop. ”

Although it is not very neat, it can be regarded as an accurate expression of the characteristics of milk tea and the purpose of this advertisement.

It is still easy for a beautiful woman to sell goods along the street to attract people's attention, but after a while, a young man came over here, came to Zhou Min, and asked with a smile: "Minmin, I haven't seen you for a long time, how did you do this?" ”

Zhou Min looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance, so he responded with a smile: "Brother Tie Niu, it's you, hey, there's no way, if you don't want to think about it, then I can't open this tea shop?" Oh, this is my brother's cooking, it's called milk tea, didn't I come out to give it to everyone? Come, you taste it. ”
