Chapter 225 Milk Tea with Fried Chicken
There were two cows, one big and one small, following behind us, so we were much slower on the way back, but it was still early.
Soon they arrived outside the farm, and Village Head Wang asked someone to lead the cow out.
"Miss, do you want someone to take you back?"
"No, tie the cow to the back of the wagon and we'll go back slowly."
"Yes."
Then, Wang Zhuangtou had two baskets of things moved to the back of the car. "Miss, the farm has slaughtered a sheep today. You can take it back to eat."
If Shen Li didn't come today, he was planning to send someone to see her off. As the new host, he had to maintain good relations with her.
"Well, please help, Mr. Wang."
Shen Li gave him three taels of silver as a fee for running errands, and Wang Zhuangtou accepted it with a smile. The master was generous, which was good for them, the servants, wasn't it?
Having gained something, Shen Li was in a good mood. Seeing her happy, Lu Jing also had a smile on his face.
Different from the harmonious atmosphere between the two people here, Pei Yu was not very happy.
When he learned that Shen Changshan had returned, he asked Tianqing to invite Shen Li over. However, he found out that Shen Li and Lu Jing were still outside, and they were riding in the same carriage.
Tianqing quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at his master. What was going on?
Pei Yu was sulking for a while, then thought about the pastries delivered yesterday and how Ah Li hugged him that day. Ah Li treated him differently. Thinking of this, he quickly calmed himself down.
Tianqing waited for a while, and when he felt that his master had calmed down, he continued, "I heard that Miss Shen is going to open a shop in the county, and preparations are already underway. Miss Shen's third brother is going to take the Lushan Academy exam next month."
Pei Yu bent his fingers and tapped the table. It was not easy to pass the examination to enter Lushan Academy, but he could get special training.
"Tianqing, go and compile a copy of the examination papers and books from previous years at Lushan Academy."
"Yes."
After Tianqing left, Pei Yu thought about opening a shop and the pastries that were delivered that day. Could it be that he was planning to make this?
This pastry is indeed novel, but Ali has always been a planner, so she must have already had an idea in mind.
After Shen Changshan came back, he found two courtyards to accommodate these people.
Once again, I am thankful that my house is big, otherwise it wouldn’t be able to accommodate so many people.
By the time Shen Li came back with the three cows, it was almost afternoon. Fortunately, there were snacks in the carriage, so the two of them ate a little and were not very hungry.
Tianqing knew what his master was thinking, and was waiting at the door for Shen Li to come back. As soon as he saw her get off the carriage, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Shen, my master is looking for you."
"Well, I'll be there in a minute."
Tianqing saw the elegant Miss Shen pulling a black and white calf walking past him, which confirmed his idea that the calf seemed to be more important than its master.
After coming back to my senses, I quickly stopped the thoughts in my mind. How could I think like that?
Shen Li had people prepare a shelter for the cows, separate from the horses and mules. They were not in the same shed, and now that it was cold, the area was blocked on all sides.
Lai Fu led the cow inside. Shen Li took a look at the environment inside and was quite satisfied. Then she picked up the hay next to her and put some in for the cow.
After Lai Fu left, Shen Li took out some fresh green grass from the space and fed it to the cows.
The grass in the space is imbued with spiritual energy. After eating it, the cows will become stronger and produce more milk.
The milk produced in this way has many benefits, and of course the milk tea made from it will not be too bad.
He did not go to find Pei Yu immediately. There was food left in the kitchen. After having a simple meal with Lu Jing, he went into the kitchen.
There were two chickens prepared on the stove. Shen Li planned to use them to make fried chicken and boil a pot of milk tea, which was perfect for eating in winter.
Madam Jiang and Madam Wei had already rolled out the candied beans and small glutinous rice balls that Shen Li wanted, and even prepared some pearls. As for the grass jelly, the ingredients were not complete in the middle of winter, so they would have to wait until the beginning of next spring.
The chicken has been cut into pieces and marinated, and now is the right time to put it in the pot. I didn't do it myself. I simply explained how to do it and asked Mrs. Jiang to do it.
She simply took out the tea leaves that Wang Zhuangtou had given her before, found a clean pot without water or oil, added sugar and slowly stir-fried the tea leaves over low heat. After frying, she poured them out and wrapped them in cloth. Then she poured in fresh milk and simmered them over low heat.
When Lu Nian learned that Shen Li had returned and was still in the kitchen, he immediately ran over here. Just as he approached the kitchen, he smelled a sweet scent.
"Sister Ali, what delicious food are you making?"
As he spoke, he moved closer to her and stared at the pot intently.
"This is called milk tea. It will take a while."
"Hmm, it smells good, is this the smell of milk?"
"Yes, milk and tea leaves are added to it. You can try it later."
"All right."
At this time, the overbearing aroma unique to fried chicken wafted out, and Shen Li also looked over.
Soon, the milk tea and fried chicken were ready, and the kitchen attracted several people, all of whom came following the smell, including Shen Yuanzhou, Mo Qing and Tian Qing.
"Ali, can we eat now?"
"Okay, let's eat."
After Shen Li finished speaking, she also picked up a small piece of fried chicken and tried it. She felt quite satisfied. The skin was crispy, the chicken inside was smooth, and it had a little bit of spicy taste.
It’s a pity that there are no bread crumbs, but I can find a way to make some later.
I took another sip of the milk tea, it had a light sweetness and the fragrance of tea leaves, not bad.
Shen Li thought it was good, and the other people were praising it non-stop, praising it while eating, and she felt embarrassed to hear them.
He quickly picked up some fried chicken and milk tea and asked Madam Jiang and Madam Wei to deliver them to the others.
The remaining two pieces were handed to the two of them, "You two try them and see if there is anything that needs to be changed."
"Yes."
After tasting the food, both of them gave their opinions. Shen Li thought it was okay, so she asked them to make it according to this method and try it again.
Tianqing was eating by himself, but of course he did not forget his master. After finishing the fried chicken, he ran to Pei Yu with a cup of milk tea.
"Master, this is the milk tea that Miss Shen just made. Please try it."
Pei Yu looked at the milk tea in front of him, smelling the milky aroma that reached his nose, and his expression looked a little unhappy.
Ali has been back for so long. Didn’t she say she would come over in a while? It’s been so long and she still hasn’t come. She even forgot about herself while cooking.
Tianqing: Oops, it seems he did something wrong!
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Tian Qing went to open the door as if she had been pardoned. "Miss Shen, you are here, please come in!"
Pei Yu quickly put away his resentful look, holding a book in his hand, reading it calmly.
