Joe's Farming

Xu Yuan shook his head: "Doctor Jiang left the Xu Mansion last month, but she lives in the city. I will send someone to invite her in a while."

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng were very grateful.

Xu Yuan waved his hand: "Brother Gu's eldest brother is also my relative, so you two brothers don't have to be so formal with me."

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng had been worrying about whether they could find a famous doctor. Now that they finally have one, they are no longer in a hurry to go home.

The four of them lit a charcoal stove in the yard, placed the iron grid that Qiao Yu had recommended before on it, and boiled tea around the stove.

Qiao Yu asked Xu Yuan and Xu Ning: "Is there any milk or goat milk in the kitchen?"

Xu Ning nodded: "My husband has people prepare it for me every day."

Xu Yuan heard from somewhere that cow's milk can whiten the skin. Knowing that her husband had always felt inferior because of his skin color, she asked the cattle breeder on the farm to milk the cows and send them to her every day.

Qiao Yu said happily: "Great! Bring me some rock sugar and a clay pot, and I'll make milk tea for you!"

Xu Yuan was also a little surprised: "Milk tea? What new and novel food is Brother Qiao making for us?"

Qiao Yu chuckled and said, "You will get some in a while."

At this moment, the charcoal in the charcoal stove has been burned red. Xiaoshan has prepared some chestnuts, peanuts, walnuts and oranges.

Qiao Yu placed dried fruits and oranges in a circle on top and roasted them.

I had just peeled and finished eating a roasted peanut when milk and rock sugar were served.

Xu Yuan asked someone to bring the best tea in the mansion early in the morning.

It is best to drink black tea in winter as it warms the stomach.

Qiao Yu first heated up the clay pot, poured in rock sugar, roasted the rock sugar until it turned caramel color before adding milk, and then directly threw a handful of tea leaves in.

"Okay, let's cook it slowly."

Everyone looked at him: "Is this milk tea?"

Qiao Yu nodded: "Yeah! Caramel milk tea."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen people use milk to make tea."

Xu Yuan also nodded: "I have drunk fruit tea and flower tea, but I have never drunk tea with milk."

Qiao Yu glanced at Gu Feng and said, "You haven't drunk it either, have you?"

Gu Feng smiled dotingly: "Yeah. But Qiao'er's cooking must be delicious."

The temperature of the charcoal fire is not high, so the milk will not bubble up and overflow due to the strong fire, but it is inevitable to stir it with an iron spoon from time to time to allow the tea leaves inside to be heated more evenly.

While the tea was boiling, the four of them peeled the roasted dried fruits and oranges, and ate them while chatting.

Qiao Yu took a bite of the warm orange. Although it was not as sweet as the improved varieties in his previous life, it had a rich fruity aroma and a special fragrance after being roasted.

How cool!

It is one of the greatest pleasures in life to occasionally get together with family and friends like this.

It was the first time for Xu Yuan to eat these, and he felt that peanuts and chestnuts were much more delicious than the dry ones he usually ate. Seeing that he liked them, Xu Ning kept peeling them for him.

When Qiao Yu saw this, she advised: "Xu Ning, eat it yourself, he is not a child. And the fun of eating this is to peel it yourself!"

Xu Ning smiled embarrassedly and finally put the freshly peeled peanuts in his hand into his mouth.

The unique charcoal-grilled aroma is really delicious.

Xu Yuan smiled at him tenderly and whispered in his ear, "I love to eat the ones you peel for me."

At this time, the milk tea in the earthenware jar has been bubbling for a long time. The flavor of the milk tea is getting stronger and stronger, with a slight hint of caramel sweetness.

Xu Ning swallowed unconsciously.

Everyone had already eaten a lot of dried fruits, and everyone was very thirsty, so they were just waiting for Qiao Yu to say that it was time to drink.

Qiao Yu lifted the earthen jar aside with a thick towel and poured a cup for each person.

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning couldn't wait to blew it twice and took a sip.

Both of them looked at each other with bright eyes.

Delicious!

Qiao Yu didn’t use much rock sugar, so the milk tea was just the right amount of sweetness, and the caramel flavor added another layer of flavor to the already rich taste of the milk tea, which is simply unforgettable.

Xu Yuan quickly asked Xiaoshan to pour two cups of milk tea and sent them to Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu for a taste.

Gu Feng took a bite and looked at his husband with satisfaction and approval.

Qiao Yu smiled proudly. His milk tea was not comparable to the ones made with creamer and tea powder in his previous life. Its main feature was its natural and delicious taste.

Qiao Yu took a big sip of the long-lost milk tea.

He said to Xu Yuan with a shameless face: "Ayuan, can you send me some of this milk every day?"

Xu Yuan thought Qiao Yu wanted to say something, but it turned out that she just wanted some milk.

"Of course you can. Ah Ning can't finish that much in one day anyway. I'll have someone send two cans to you every day."

Qiao Yu quickly waved her hand: "No need to bother you to deliver it. I'll contact Lin Da later and ask him to come here to pick it up."

If I let Xu Yuan send someone to deliver it, he would definitely not charge me for it. There weren't many carriages in the Xu residence, so I wouldn't take advantage of it. This would also allow Lin Da to make some money.

Xu Yuan understood and nodded.

"By the way, Brother Qiao. Aning pickled sauerkraut and pickles using the recipe you taught me. How about having dinner at my house?" Xu Yuan thought of the sauerkraut fish that Qiao Yu mentioned before and the braised pork with pork belly that he had eaten last time, and felt that it would definitely become a hit if it was taken to Yipinxuan.

Qiao Yu naturally knew what Xu Yuan was planning. Anyway, he didn't have to worry since Bai Lan and the others were at home.

"Okay! Then you have to send someone to my house to tell the children now."

Xu Yuan nodded: "Of course."

Not only did he send someone to inform the Gu family of the news, he also had someone fill a food box with Yipinxuan's delicacies and send them over.

Because there was still some time before dinner, Qiao Yu asked Xu Yuan to find him a stack of cardboard and had the servants cut it into squares of the same size. Then he asked for pen and ink to draw plum blossoms and squares on it.

"Get me some red ink." Qiao Yu said after drawing a few spades and clubs. He planned to just draw two flowers of different colors for the big and small kings.

Xu Yuan immediately asked someone to mix red paint.

"Don't just watch, let's draw together. Just trace the shapes I draw. It's very simple, just four suits." Qiao Yu said. He was too slow to finish alone, and he would not have time to play a game of cards after finishing.

Xu Yuan and Xiao Shan quickly learned to paint together.

Xu Ning tried to draw something, but ended up with a weird painting. He had to put down his brush in embarrassment. He had been learning calligraphy from his husband during this period, but the time was too short and he couldn't even compare to Xiaoshan.

Gu Feng knew his own limitations very well and he never even thought about picking up a pen.

However, the three of them drew very quickly. After Qiao Yu wrote all the numbers, he took the opportunity to explain how to play while waiting for the ink to dry.

"Fight Landlord?" Xu Yuan's voice was a little loud. Wasn't their Xu family a legitimate landlord?

Qiao Yu thought about it and felt that this name really didn’t seem to be a good idea. What if he would become like that in the future?

Qiao Yu coughed tactically: "I'll change my name. How about 'Fighting Golden Flower'?"

Xu Yuan said indifferently: "As long as it's not Landlord, anything is fine."

Everyone laughed.

Qiao Yu explained the rules again, and except for Xu Yuan, Gu Feng and Xu Ning felt that they didn't quite understand.

"Hey! You'll know after playing a round! Let's start with a round. I'll deal the cards."
