Yan Bowen put the buns and sesame seed cakes in his hands on a porcelain plate, took out a silk towel and wiped his hands, then picked up a small spoon, scooped a spoonful of bean drink and put it into his mouth.
I only feel the refreshing aroma of beans, without any greasy feeling. After swallowing it in one gulp, it is silky and sweet, washing away the greasiness of the buns and the dryness of the sesame seed cakes, leaving only a sweet fragrance on the lips and teeth.
It looks like milk, but has a completely different taste, somewhat similar to almond milk.

It's just that almonds are expensive, and almond milk is only available to high-quality people. This small shop is just located in an ordinary street. How can it still sell such expensive things?
He was doubtful, but it didn't stop him from taking a few spoonfuls of the soy drink. After moistening his mouth, he took another bite of the sesame seed cake. Yan Bowen immediately felt more satisfied and comfortable. He took a bite of the cake, a bite of the soy milk, and then a bite of the steamed bun and a bite of the soy milk.
, within a short while, he drank the small bowl clean, until finally he let out a rather loud burp comfortably.
The young man was stroking his belly, looking satisfied. He was about to stand up, but suddenly he raised his head and saw the young girl with a fresh face just standing aside. She didn't know how long she had been looking at him for eating like this.
Yeah! This...
The other party didn't show any clues yet, but Yan Bowen himself blushed and hesitated to explain a few words, but couldn't.
How should I put it? Did you say that you were too hungry to behave like this?
But who would believe it?
He was embarrassed and confused. Not only was his face red and bleeding, but his ears were also on fire.
Although Zhuang Keqing looked at him in a funny way, after all, this young master was his first guest. Thinking about it, he still didn't look good and was a joke.
So she smiled lightly, smiled slightly, changed the subject, and asked: "Can this bean drink be returned to the young master's mouth?"

Seeing that the other party didn't mention his embarrassment at all, Yan Bowen calmed down, finally remembered the etiquette that a young master from a medical family should have when dealing with others, and hurriedly returned the favor.
"This bean drink is fragrant, smooth, soft and sweet. If your guess is correct, is it made from soybeans?"
After judging the food, the young man straightened his expression, the redness on his face faded away, and he only had an inquiring look on his face, waiting for Zhuang Keqing's answer.
"Young master really has a spiritual tongue, and his guess is pretty good."
Yan Bowen had just made a guess, but when he heard this, he was even more shocked.
Although soybeans are a good thing and can fill the stomach, they are prone to abdominal distension and are not friendly to the spleen and stomach. However, this girl used some method to dissolve the bean essence in water. The feeling she just had after drinking it was not only
I didn't feel any discomfort at all, I just felt comfortable in my stomach.
"really?!"
The young man stood up excitedly, and the small stool behind him was knocked over by his movement. He made a loud sound, and even the people passing by outside were startled.
"Sorry, sorry."
Yan Bowen was extremely embarrassed. He had never lost his composure twice in front of the same person.
However, at this time, he apologized repeatedly, turned around, helped the stool up, and kept bowing. He even forgot what he wanted to say later. He just wanted to pay the money and leave quickly, so as not to continue to be embarrassed here.

"May I ask, girl, how much silver does a bowl of bean drink cost?"
Zhuang Keqing stepped forward to help move the stool, smiled slightly, "Chenghui Liwen."
Two pennies is not expensive on the street, and it is much cheaper than almond milk.
The young man stood in the shop, hurriedly touched two coins, put them on the table, thanked them, pushed them and ran away in a hurry, as if there was some wild beast behind him.
But for the next half of the morning, from the faint dawn to the bustle of people, the surrounding neighbors in Tianshui Lane were doing business in a booming way. Only Zhuang's Bean Shop was deserted and empty. Except for Yan Bowen who came in at the beginning, there were actually people behind him.
No one came to the door anymore.
"Hey, Miss Zhuang, what are you selling?"
The sauce shop opened by Aunt Zhou’s family is looked after by a man and does not require much manpower. Usually if she gets up early, she will go to the street to buy some fresh vegetables brought by farmers, and bring a few steamed buns and pancakes with her.
Yes, to satisfy my daughter's craving.
Now I passed by the front of Zhuang Keqing's store, and when I looked inside, I felt bad when I saw the deserted appearance. What kind of business did this talented lady do? Why is she not popular at all?
Do you want to ask yourself?
Thinking in his mind, he moved a step faster and headed towards the store with the basket in his hand.

Inside, Zhuang Keqing was teasing his younger brother Aman. He raised his head and saw Aunt Zhou, greeting her with a faint smile on his face. He didn't seem to be worried about his business at all.
"I sell some bean drinks and tofu here. Aunt Zhou, if you are thirsty, I will bring you a bowl to try."
With that said, without waiting for Mr. Zhou to stop him, he walked around the back of the counter, made a bowl of milky white syrup and handed it over.
Qinjinzhou is not far north, and few people here have the habit of drinking milk. Even if there are shops selling some iced buttermilk in summer, there are still a large number of people who can't get used to the fishy smell.
As for Mrs. Zhou, when she was pregnant with her daughter, she was weak. The doctor said she could drink some goat's milk to nourish the body. Her husband went to get it, but the milk he brought back, whether it was cooled or boiled,
Oh, just smelling that smell made her want to vomit for ten and a half days, which completely destroyed her appetite.
So when I saw this milky white bowl, I immediately frowned, held my breath, and looked like I was resisting.
"Is this milk?"
Mrs. Zhou was so grateful that she didn't even take off the basket in her hands, so she pushed the bowl aside, then covered her nose with her hands, took a long breath, and said apologetically.
"Miss Zhuang, it's not that I'm ignorant, it's just that I really can't get used to eating this milk, and I can't even stand the smell."
Zhuang Keqing noticed Zhou's appearance, but she just pushed the bowl gently again
He went back and explained with a smile.

"Aunt Zhou, you have misunderstood. This is Doufang. Where can I sell milk? This means selling soy milk."
"Soy milk?"
Zhou was slightly startled.
How come she has never heard of soy milk?
"Can you smell it again? Is there anything you don't like?"
Zhuang Keqing invited again, but Mrs. Zhou was finally too embarrassed to cover her nose and do the rude thing again. She just put her hand down doubtfully and took a light sniff.
Sure enough, it doesn't have the fishy and smelly smell in my memory. Instead, it is fresh and soft, and there is a faint sweet fragrance when you smell it carefully.
"I added a spoonful of sugar to you, you really don't want to try it?"
Hearing that sugar was added to it, Ms. Zhou, who was already a little hesitant, immediately did not hesitate and took a spoon and took a bite.
It's really smooth, sweet, refreshing and smooth.

"This, this is..."
She didn't have time to say anything, and after a few more spoonfuls, she finally brought the bowl and drank it in a few sips. She looked much more generous than the young man just now.
After Mrs. Zhou put down the bowl, she took two more sips, then raised her head with eager eyes.
This drink is so pleasant to drink, why don't you take a portion home to try it with your daughter.
"Miss Zhuang, how much does this soy milk cost per bowl?"
"Two cents a bowl, if you add sugar, it's three cents a serving."
Zhou secretly calculated in her mind that a pancake was only four cents, and she didn’t know what the soymilk was made of. Although the amount in a bowl was quite large, it was still water. It could only be filled with water, not to mention adding sugar.
An extra penny is not really cheap at all. No wonder the business is so deserted.
But she couldn't say it clearly on her face. She only praised the bowl of syrup for being sweet and delicious. She thought that she would come to visit in the future. Then she chatted for a few words and decided not to bring it to the child.
The thought of a bowl is to leave.
"Aunt Zhou."
As he was about to go out, before his feet could cross the threshold, the girl from behind called out again.

When Zhou turned around, she saw that the other party had something wrapped in his hand. He came forward and stuffed it into his hand.
"You can take the tofu made at home and cook it with sauce or stew it in soup. It's great."
"It's not easy to collect your things!"
Although she was a neighbor, she had just eaten someone else's bowl of soy milk for nothing, and she would be embarrassed to take it again.
"Aunt Zhou won't take it for free. I have to ask you to help spread the word to everyone in the alley. It's just a favor."
What help?
Zhou's heart was pounding.
But don't say anything to embarrass her, otherwise even if this girl is a talented lady, you won't agree so easily.
"As you can see, my family's business is really not good. Today I made a lot of soy milk and tofu. If they have been stored for a long time, they will be stale. So I would like to ask Aunt Zhou to tell everyone in the alley if they have any
If you have no time, come to me and take some back, so as not to waste it in vain."
