Failure the first time does not mean that you will fail the second time, nor does it mean that you will always fail. Lin Xiaoxiao knew this truth when she was cooking, so even if she used it in other places now, she felt that it should still be applicable.

Isn't it just a failure, Lu Hongshen doesn't care about her, she can try again. The oat milk prepared last time did not succeed in Lu Hongshen's mouth in the end, so Lin Xiaoxiao drank it all in a fit of anger.

Since Lin Xiaoxiao still wants to try it again, then it must be indispensable to make a drink. Why he chose to make drinks instead of dishes is also Lin Xiaoxiao's own reasons.

Cooking is usually longer and requires more steps, compared to just making a drink. With this in mind, Lin Xiaoxiao began to study what drinks to make again.

There are all kinds of ingredients in the villa, but there are not many drinks that can be used, Lin Xiaoxiao made a decision about what drinks he wanted to make after synthesizing all the materials that could be used in the refrigerator.

This time, Lin Xiaoxiao is ready to make barley lemonade.

Barley has the effect of detoxifying and removing dampness, and lemon is rich in vitamin C, which can be said to be a very good summer drink when combined. What's more coincidental is that lemon and barley are also originally available in the villa, so it is relatively simple and convenient for Lin Xiaoxiao to prepare.

After she had finished soaking the barley, she found another lemon and began to prepare her barley lemonade.

Lin Xiaoxiao first soaked the barley in a bowl, and then put the tap water in the pot to boil. When the water in the pot starts to boil, Lin Xiaoxiao can start the next steps.

She put the soaked barley in the pot and put the lid on the pot. After a handful of white, well-grained barley is put into the pot and tumbled, just wait for them to almost ripen.

Under the effect of fire, the water in the pot became less and less, and it was obviously much thicker. The barley soup in the pot has changed from milky to a very sticky paste, and you can turn off the heat when you get here.

She strained out the barley and filled the soup into a cup. At this point, the production of barley lemonade is basically coming to an end. Lin Xiaoxiao began to wash the lemons.

When she had washed the lemon thoroughly, she cut it into thin slices and then put the lemon slices into the boiled barley water.

There is no need to put too many lemon slices in a cup of barley water, after Lin Xiaoxiao cut two or three lemon slices and put them in, this cup of barley lemonade is ready.

Looking at the cup of milky white barley lemonade decorated with lemon slices in front of him, Lin Xiaoxiao can be said to be quite confident again. Although barley lemonade is a bit simple in terms of both the ingredients used and the production process, if you only look at the finished product, it is really not simple.

The barley is fragrant and rich, with a slightly sour lemon taste under the fragrance and mellow taste of the barley. Who wouldn't love such a cup of barley lemonade?

Lin Xiaoxiao took the cup of barley lemonade that had just been made, and walked up to the second floor again. After the last failure, Lin Xiaoxiao's attitude this time can be said to be very peaceful. What about failure, it's not the first time she's failed anyway. Besides, even if Lu Hongshen doesn't come out of the study now, there will always be a time for him to leave.

She knocked softly on the closed study door.

"It's not early, why don't you relax with a glass of barley lemonade? I just made it and it tastes good. With that, she put her ear to the door, but no one answered her.

Could it be ...... Simply failed again?

Lin Xiaoxiao won't just admit defeat like this, she knocked on the door again, and her tone was much softer than just now: "Alas, the cup of oat milk just now has already been drunk by myself, and this cup of barley lemon tea specially made for you can't end up in my stomach, right?" ”

After she finished with a pretended sigh of resentment, the door to the study slammed open.

In order to be able to hear the sound in the study clearly, Lin Xiaoxiao was lying on the door. As soon as Lu Hongshen opened the door suddenly, her body lost its support and rushed directly into his study.

"This barley tea—" Lin Xiaoxiao screamed.

She staggered and looked like she was about to fall. Fortunately, Lu Hongshen quickly supported her, and she was able to barely stand firm.

"Thankfully, if you hadn't held me up, I would have fallen." She smiled sweetly at Lu Hongshen. Even if Lu Hongshen didn't react to her thanks at all, she couldn't resist Lin Xiaoxiao's happiness in her heart that she finally entered Lu Hongshen's study.

She handed the barley lemonade in both hands to Lu Hongshen: "Taste it, it tastes very good." ”

Lu Hongshen didn't take the lemon tea first, but glanced at her coldly: "Do you know, I'm working, and you were really noisy just now." ”

"Excuse me, let's try it. It's like I'm using this cup of tea to apologize to you. ”

He took the teacup and took a sip. But after only taking this small sip, Lu Hongshen's brows wrinkled deeply: "It's so sour." ”

"Sour? It's unlikely, I only put a few slices of lemon in it. Lin Xiaoxiao felt strange, but Lu Hongshen's expression was not fake, just looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he was sour by this cup of barley lemonade.

Just when Lin Xiaoxiao was puzzled, Lu Hongshen handed her the water cup: "You taste it." ”

She took it and took a sip. After smashing the taste in his mouth for most of the day, Lin Xiaoxiao had to admit that this cup of barley lemonade did seem to be a little sour.

Presumably because she ignores the reason why hotter temperatures make people's palate more sensitive to acid. The freshly boiled barley water is already hot, and even the sourness of the lemon slices is noticeable. She could have neutralized the sourness by putting some white sugar, but Lin Xiaoxiao forgot to put white sugar.

In addition, Lu Hongshen is already very sensitive to taste, so it is no wonder that he would say that it was too sour after taking a sip.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to go into Lu Hongshen's study and ask Lu Hongshen about last night, Lin Xiaoxiao would never have forgotten this point in negligence. She had always been cautious, but she would make such mistakes.

"This and this...... It does seem to be a little sour. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the cup with two more hands. The cup swirled around in her hand, making Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly realize a problem. Just now, Lu Hongshen drank water with this cup, and then she also drank water with this cup.

In other words, she and Lu Hongshen used this cup. Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know if Lu Hongshen didn't mind or didn't pay attention at all, but her heartbeat was obviously a lot faster.
