After negotiating the price, the cattle dealer was embarrassed to say, "I didn't bring a bowl myself, and the bowl is also going to go, I sell a bowl of milk for two pennies, and I only make milk money, do you think you can take the bowl from home yourself?" ”

"I'll wait for you here."

After a pause, he was afraid that the customer would run away, and continued, "If you are not in a hurry to drink, I will send you the milk you want to your home after I close the stall?" ”

Gu Rao chose the latter.

"My family lives on South Street, and Shiqiao is the third one in the past."

The cattle dealer nodded in response.

"Okay."

-

After Gu Rao got home, she wanted to go upstairs to sleep immediately, but she always felt that the clothes on her body were stained with an uncomfortable smell outside, and she didn't dare to go to bed without taking a bath or changing her clothes, even if she rested, she couldn't rest well.

I had to drag my tired body to the kitchen to boil water and take a shower.

Beno said, "You go find a change of clothes, and I'll boil water." ”

Gu Rao was too tired, so she didn't excuse herself, and when she went to the second floor, she found a set of clothes from the wardrobe that she had changed her clothes, and she also found other Ye's clothes.

After going downstairs, Besano had already poured hot water into the tub.

Beno said, "You soak it well, I'll make dinner." ”

Gu Rao was about to habitually be polite, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed again.

"I don't have much appetite at night, you can just do a little stuffing."

-

Gu Rao comfortably took a hot bath, and after she came out, the meal was already on the table.

Beiye boiled a pot of green vegetable porridge, fried a plate of pickles, and cut a plate of sour radish.

"Seasickness can't eat meat, drink some green vegetable porridge to appetize."

Gu Rao drank a bowl of green vegetable porridge with pickles and sour radish, and the exhaustion around her body dissipated.

At this moment, there was a knock at the door.

Beno got up and opened the door.

The cattle dealer carried the burden, and when the door was opened, he put it down and said, "I have kept the milk you wanted, and there is more left, I am afraid there are more than two bowls, and the excess should be given to you." ”

No one in his family can drink the taste of milk, and there are no children in the family who drink milk, so I am afraid that the rest of the milk will have to be thrown away.

Rather than waste, it is better to give it away.

Gu Rao followed behind Bieye, and when she heard the cow dealer's words, she forgot to take a look at the wooden bucket with milk, and sure enough, there was really a small half bucket left.

"And so much, all for us?"

The cattle dealer nodded.

"I've got you delivered."

Gu Rao gave the cattle dealer five cents.

The cattle dealer hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You only bought two bowls of milk, and only charged you four cents, and I gave you the rest of the milk, and I didn't charge your money." ”

Gu Rao remembered the news she had seen in her previous life that the farmer would rather pour milk into the river than give it to the poor for free.

"Aren't you afraid that the milk you sent has already met my needs, and I won't spend money on milk from you tomorrow?"

The cattle dealer was stunned.

He didn't think of this problem before, it turned out that giving milk to others for free would affect his own milk business?

Even though he realized that he had done something stupid, he still had a glimmer of hope and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy a bucket of milk?" There are only small half-barrels here, which should not be enough. ”

Gu Rao joked, "Then I'll only buy half a barrel tomorrow." ”

The cattle dealer's face suddenly turned bitter.

"Really?"

Gu Rao said with a smile, "It's not true." ”

The cattle dealer breathed a sigh of relief, paused, and hesitated, "Then do you want a bucket of milk tomorrow?" ”

Gu Rao gave the cattle dealer a deposit of ten cents, so that the cattle dealer could feel at ease.

"Can you bring the milk early tomorrow?"

The cattle dealer was overjoyed.

"Good!"

-

After the cattle dealer left, Gu Rao poured two bowls of milk out and prepared to make milk tea.

Besino's help light the fire.

Gu Rao poured water in the pot, and after the water boiled, she added a handful of golden silk black tea, after boiling, put it out for later use, after the pot was boiled dry, add a little sugar, boil out the caramel color, pour in the black tea, and boil again.

Finally, pour in two bowls of milk and simmer for a while, without boiling.

He brought a bowl to Besano, and said expectantly, "How do you taste it?" ”

Beye doesn't like to drink milk very much, and he is a little hesitant to smell milk.

Gu Rao persuaded and said, "When the milk is boiled, there will be no milky smell, not to mention that there is black tea and caramel to neutralize the fishy smell of milk, you can taste it, if you still don't like to drink it, I will drink it myself." ”

It's just that she really drank so much alone?

Bei Ye also seemed to see her embarrassment, and lowered his head and took a sip of Gu Rao's hand.

Gu Rao asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

Beye snorted.

"It's delicious."

It was the first time he had tried this taste, and there was something new in his eyes.

Gu Rao saw that he didn't say nice things to coax himself, and said happily, "I prefer to drink ice than hot milk tea, there is no ice now, it tastes better to drink it when it cools a little." ”

"It's too late today, I didn't have time to make other ingredients, this is the simplest milk tea, and next time I have time, I'll let you taste a better milk tea."

Ice.

Beno silently remembered it in his heart.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter now, and although the temperature has dropped in the past few days, it is still a little muggy.

Gu Rao put the milk tea aside and said to Beiye, "Let the milk tea cool before drinking, I will make the remaining milk into a milk cake, put it in the water tank and put it in cold water, and you can eat it tomorrow." ”

"Milk cake is very simple to make, I can do it alone, you take this time, go take a bath, and feel more comfortable after taking a bath."

Besano said, "Okay. ”

Gu Rao soaked the pot for the first time, then poured all the remaining milk into the pot, added sugar and cornstarch, and stirred over low heat until it was viscous.

Line the sieve with a layer of gauze and pour the batter into the sieve while it is hot.

Finally, the sieve is placed in the water tank, and it will solidify when it wakes up tomorrow morning.

The couple closed the kitchen door and the courtyard door, and went upstairs one after the other with two bowls of milk tea.

The sky was getting dark.

Gu Rao opened the window, felt a cool breeze, looked outside, the leaves of the camphor tree in the yard rattled, and reached out to feel the cool breeze.

"Is it going to rain tonight?"

As soon as the words fell, the rain poured down, and before he could withdraw his hand, he was drenched by the rain.

Gu Rao, "......"

This rain is too sudden!

Beiye came to Gu Rao's side with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Didn't you say you were tired before? Why don't you sleep when you go upstairs now? ”

Gu Rao withdrew her wet hand and shook off the water on her hand, but it was still wet, Moonlight glanced at the man who was laughing at her, her eyes flickered, and she pretended to inadvertently put her hand on Beiye's arm, rubbed her hand on Beiye's arm, and rubbed the water on his clothes.

Don't Rag No, "......"

Gu Rao saw that Bie Ye's expression froze, and knew that her small movements had been discovered, but she was not weak at all, and pretended that nothing had happened, "It's too late, let's go to bed early." ”

After speaking, he took Beno and walked to the bed.

Besano glanced back at the wide open window, and had the heart to go back and close the window, but he was still dragged away by his wife, and waited for his wife to let go of his arm before turning around and closing the window.

Gu Rao sat on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl and taking small sips of milk tea.

After drinking half a bowl, I can't drink it anymore.
