The weather gradually warmed up and the snow on the roadside melted. Just after the first lunar month, brother and sister Shen Yanqing and Xu Ziwen went to the capital together.
The Shen family was not used to the sudden absence of someone in the house, especially Jiang Miao. Without Shen Yanqing, she occupied the entire big bed. The room where she used to feel comfortable now seemed empty. She used to hug Shen Yanqing's pillow when sleeping. , the lingering smell on it is as if he has never left.
"Hey, work hard and stop thinking!"
Jiang Miao slapped her head hard to drive out all the distracting thoughts. Mrs. Zhang next to her was shocked. She was probably stupid for hitting her head like this.
"Miaoya, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, Mom, I just saw a bug." Jiang Miao was so embarrassed that she could only lie with a red face. Mrs. Zhang was dubious and looked around her body, and then gave up after seeing that there was no problem.
"Then you can't hit the head, or you may break it."
"I know, mother."
Jiang Miao didn't dare to make any strange moves, otherwise Mrs. Zhang would really think she was stupid.
She peeled and cleaned all the taro and sweet potatoes in her hands. This time she planned to make taro balls.
The sweet potatoes at home had to be planted. Jiang Miao did not dare to eat too much. She only took a small basket and the rest was taro.
Wash and cut the taro and sweet potatoes into pieces and steam them in a pot. Mash the steamed taro and sweet potatoes into a puree, add them to the starch, stir and knead them into a ball, then roll them into thin strips and cut them into small pieces.
It is simple and convenient to make and can be eaten and cooked. Jiang Miao plans to add it to milk tea. In addition to red bean milk tea, taro ball milk tea is also delicious.
In addition to milk tea, you can also make other desserts. Jiang Miao cooked a big pot and mixed it according to your favorite taste.
Taro balls have a soft and glutinous taste, and both adults and children like to eat them. Moreover, the sweet potato itself has a sweet taste, and it is delicious with a little sugar.
"Do you want to sell this too?"
Mrs. Zhang asked while eating. They had never sold drinks other than green plum wine. She didn't know if the guests would like it.
"Yeah, sell it. I'll put the milk tea into a bucket and send it over later."
Jiang Miao bought fifty bowls and spoons from the grocery store, cleaned them, put them together with the wooden bucket, and set off. She sold a bowl of taro ball milk tea for fifty cents, so the bowls and spoons were considered as gifts.
Jiang Ji's shop was still full of people. Shen Yingxue greeted her gracefully at the counter. Her previous restraint had been swept away, leaving only her bright and generous appearance. Jiang Miao looked behind for a while, feeling sincerely happy for her change. .
"Sister."
"Miaoya, you're here!"
Shen Yingxue greeted her while packing snacks for the guests.
"Well, I'm here to deliver taro ball milk tea."
Jiang Miao carried the barrel to the shelf of the shop. The ladies and ladies nearby had not seen her for a long time. They were curious about what Jiang Miao had brought and stretched their heads to look around.
“What is taro ball milk tea?”
"A drink made of milk and tea. Ladies, would you like a bowl?"
Jiang Miao first served out a bowl for everyone to see. The burnt yellow milk tea was filled with yellow and white taro balls and plump red beans. It was really beautiful and very appetizing. Everyone was really excited.
"Then bring me a bowl? Can you take it away, or can you only eat it here?"
After all, they were wives from a wealthy family. There were no seats in Jiang Ji's shop, and they were not used to eating in public.
"You can take them away. Bowls and spoons are provided for free." Jiang Miao replied as she filled them with milk tea.
"That's good, I want a bowl too."
More and more people came to buy milk tea, especially the little lady who was the first one to buy it. She couldn't help but took a sip after finishing the purchase. The taste of milk tea captured her heart instantly. She had never tasted it so deliciously in her whole life. of tea.
"It's so fragrant and sweet. The taro balls are also delicious. The red beans are soft and glutinous and melted in my mouth before I even bit into them."
"Is it really so delicious?" Those who had not planned to buy it and were going home to eat it couldn't help but take a sip. Sure enough, the milk tea was full of mellow flavor and much better than brewed tea. Ladies and ladies like to eat sweet things. , after drinking the one in my hand, I couldn’t help but buy another bowl.
"I don't know when Mrs. Jiang will make it next time. I want to buy an extra bowl and take it home to drink."
"Me too!"
The barrel of milk tea was quickly sold out. Jiang Miao rubbed her sore arm. She hadn't done any heavy work in a long time, and her arms were sore even after drinking. Shen Yingxue saw that she was tired and started to persuade her. .
"It's enough for me to come here by myself. You can go home first."
Jiang Miao looked at the things on the counter and saw that there weren't many left, so she didn't refuse.
"Then I'll leave first. I'll be working hard in the shop."
"Well, let's go back!"
As soon as Jiang Miao left, Guo Zhao came over from another street. He frowned, as if he was in big trouble. Every time he walked to a food shop, he stopped for a while to buy something. After walking down a street, he already had a lot of food on his hands. Eat when the basket is full.
His mother has the temper of a child now. She insists on telling him that the food at home is not delicious and asks him to buy it on the street. She also doesn’t tell him about his favorite taste. Guo Zhao doesn’t have much research on food. How can he know which one is delicious? Will it suit his mother's taste?
Guo Zhao shopped at all the shops on the street, and the last one was Jiangji. He was troubled by the long queue.
How long will such a long queue last? But with so many people queuing up, the food in this restaurant must be good. Maybe his mother will like it. After thinking about it, Guo Zhao still queued helplessly at the back of the queue.
The snacks at Jiang Ji's shop are all ready-made, and the customers are all regular customers, so the queue formed quickly. However, a tall and brave man suddenly broke in among the ladies and ladies, which seemed very abrupt at first glance.
Shen Yingxue packed the puffs and handed them to the guests before sending her away, smiling and raising her head to say hello.
"What do guests want to buy?"
When he saw the smile on the face of the visitor, Shen Yingxue, unnaturally faltered, it turned out to be him.
"My benefactor is also here to buy food. You can choose to eat whatever you want without charge!"
Without Guo Zhao, she and Ling'er would have been separated. She forgot to ask him his address before and came to thank him. This time she met him, so she couldn't thank him properly.
"No, I have money." Guo Zhao said solemnly. He had never thought of repaying a favor.
