It seems that I am still too full [travel]

The chef of the Han family may have never made such a drink, and after carefully confirming the method with Xie Shi, he stepped back to prepare.

Fu Yu looked anxious and complained, "Guan Gong didn't come to help Cao Mengde escape at all, did he come to block Cao Mengde?!"

Cai Hua on the side also frowned: "Ah Yu is right, Cao Mengde's cube has not moved at all, can this really come out?"

Even Gao Rate, who is less talkative and has no sense of presence, couldn't help but command, "Brother Han, try to move the square of Ma Chao on the upper left."

Facing the blind instructions of several cobblers, Han Ning was completely focused and concentrated. Two quarters of an hour later, with the loud cheers of the other three teenagers, Cao Cao's biggest square finally came out from the exit of the chessboard.

Han Ning also breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had a cool look of nothing special on his face, but Xie Shi immediately boasted: "Brother Ning is awesome, as a beginner, he walked out in only two quarters of an hour. awesome!"

The young boy probably had never been praised so bluntly by anyone, and now he couldn't even pretend to be calm, and a smug smile appeared on his handsome face.

Fu You said impatiently: "Let me try too, maybe I'm faster than Brother Han."

Han Ning was a little bit reluctant, he hadn't played enough. I heard from Mr. Xie just now that there are several different layouts and solutions in this Huarong Road, and the pursuit of moving the squares with the least number of steps, but He glanced at a few classmates who were eager to try, and handed it to Fu Yu after asking Mr. Xie.

But obviously Fu You was just talking big. Two quarters of an hour passed, and he still has no progress with his impressive IQ, let alone get out of Cao Cao's cube. Cai Hua snatched the chessboard and helped him move. .

At this time, the chef and a servant came over with the tea break that Xie Shi had ordered, and Han Ning, who was on the side, glanced at the two of them thoughtfully.

Xie Shi, who was watching them playing, clapped his hands and said to them: "Go back to the academy after a tea break, you have to go to class in a few afternoons."

Fu Yu and the others reluctantly put down the game in their hands, and looked at the tea break snacks on the red lacquered dinner plate.I saw five glasses of drinks of different colors on the dinner plate, which may have just been taken out of the splashing ice water, and there were still drops of water dripping from the sides of the glasses.Although the young teenagers in ancient times had never seen such iced food, they still politely took the cup close to them.

The reason why Xie Shi thought of making milk tea was mainly because he felt that children would prefer to drink something sweet rather than serving tea. In Xie Shi's eyes, these teenage children are just like modern junior high school students Same, still young, besides, Han Ning and the others sneaked out of the academy after eating snacks from the cafeteria at noon. They should not be hungry. It's so hot, it's better to drink some drinks to relieve the heat.

Xie Shi guessed that they had never seen such an iced drink before, so he took the initiative to introduce: "The cup of purple drink in Brother Ning's hand is made of succulent grapes. It is made of tea soup, grapes, honey and buffalo milk. It is sweet and sour. , the milky white thing on the top is the milk cover of buffalo milk, you can shake it well and mix it up and drink it, it will be sweeter and the taste will be more mellow.”

Hearing this, Han Ning stirred it with a long spoon according to Xie Shi's suggestion, and it tasted even more delicious, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes comfortably.

"The tea soup should be made from Beiyuan tea." Han Ning said suddenly after tasting it carefully.

Xie Shi nodded and said with a smile: "The taste is very sensitive. It is indeed Beiyuan tea from Fenghuang Mountain in Jianzhou, but it is only a relatively inferior variety. After all, I can't afford imperial tea." Beiyuan tea, also known as Longfeng Tuan tea, from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, has been the royal tribute tea of ​​all dynasties. It was so prosperous in the previous dynasty that it was hard to find a thousand gold. Even the ministers asked the emperor to give tea tuan. It was only in this dynasty that it declined. But even so, The top Beiyuan tea varieties are still extremely expensive.

Although Xie Shi now has the dividends from the sugar workshop and the profits from Bazhen Pavilion in the future, he still can't afford such expensive tea leaves when making milk tea, it's too extravagant!

But there is one thing to say, since the dividends from the sugar workshop, Xie Shi's living standard has reached a new level, and through his own efforts since time travel—mainly Goldfinger, he finally lived the life of a landlord.Because he likes to study food, the kitchen at home is always full of all kinds of strange ingredients, and the saltpetre in summer can be squandered. In the bungalow at the foot of the mountain, an ice basin is served, and ice drinks are always available. Summer days.

Han Ning heard the words and made a secret note that he would send some high-quality dragon and phoenix tea balls to his husband in return.

After hearing what he had said about Han Ning, Fu Yu pointed to the glass of yellow ice drink in his hand and asked, "Sir, what is my drink called for? It tastes mellow and sweet, as sweet as milk, and also contains sweetness. Fruity, crunchy fruit pieces can be eaten with a small spoon, it is really delicious! I feel like I can become a fairy soon!"

Xie Shi was amused by his exaggerated support and intoxicated gesture, "Fu Yu, your cup is called mango nectar, and the main ingredients in it are mango pulp, vanilla and coconut milk, and the crunchy fruit in it is coconut meat. Both mango and coconut milk are relatively sweet, so the taste is sweet and not sour."

Cai Hua took a sip of the full cup of xiangluan in his hand, the sweet and fruity aroma of xiangluan and the tea aroma of jasmine tea were intertwined, the combination of fruit and clear tea was an exceptional fit.

While drinking, he listened to Xie’s introduction, “Brother Hua drank a full cup of Xiangluan, the fruit tea made with Xiangluan, honey and scented tea, which was cooler and sweeter; what Brother Li had in his hand was powdered tea with green milk. , the main ingredients are powdered tea, buffalo milk and green tea soup base, the fragrance of the powdered tea will be stronger, with a hint of greenness, but neutralized with milk and green, it is just right, more suitable for powdered tea lovers.”

Xie Shi has a soft spot for milk tea, so what he drinks is also green tea with milk.Xiangluan is what is called grapefruit in modern times, and mocha is also the ancient name of matcha.

The ice drinks each of the four teenagers drank were different, and they were embarrassed to taste what others had drunk, so they had to secretly exchange tastes in private, but the more they muttered, the more curious they became.Although the iced drink in my hand is delicious, something I haven't drunk is always more attractive.

Fu Yuan simply suggested: "Mr. Xie, these iced drinks are so delicious, will they be served in the cafeteria in the future? If I can drink a cup of this iced drink every day, I can fall in love with the days of studying in the academy. Change the pattern and drink one kind a day, after all, after listening to your introduction, I always feel that every kind is delicious."

Xie Shi rested his chin on one hand and thought about Fu You's proposal. It seems that it would be nice to have a milk tea shop in the academy. Which modern school doesn't have a milk tea shop?However, this matter still needs to be reconsidered, discussed with everyone, and then prevaricated, "Drinking every day is not enough, and every student will get fat by then, and you mountain chiefs will have to come to me to settle accounts."

Fu Yan straightened his stomach, and muttered, "It's a blessing to be able to eat. My grandmother said that it's better to be fat."

The four teenagers played the novel Huarong Road in Xie's house, and were treated to ice drinks they had never had before, and they were quite reluctant to leave when they left.Although the combination of milk and tea originated from nomadic peoples, it has existed for a long time. However, because the method is rough and too fishy, ​​it is not in line with the aesthetics of southerners. However, Mr. Xie’s milk tea and fruit tea are extraordinarily exquisite, and the combination is novel, not only good-looking , but also extraordinarily delicious.There is no fishy smell in the milk tea, and the refreshing combination of fruit tea is simply a must-have for relieving the summer heat, which makes people never forget.

But the luckiest one among them is Han Ning who celebrated his birthday today. Just now Xie Shi noticed that this young boy was quietly resting his eyes on the Huarong Road game board when he was drinking.Before sending them away, he gave Han Ning the game board he made, "If you don't mind my rough craftsmanship, I will give this to you as a birthday present."

Han Ning took it flattered, and thanked him: "Mr. Xie, Ning likes it very much."

Seeing this, the other three were all envious, so Fu Yu almost pushed his chest and sighed why it's not his birthday today!Xie Shi watched a few teenagers leaving noisily, and said to himself with a smile, "It seems that the world's first Huarong Dao has a predestined person, and he is destined not to follow me into the grave as a cultural relic."

There were still some iced drinks made by the cook, so Xie Shi sent someone to deliver some to the Meilinzhai next door to feed his savior, and the rest was divided between the servants of the Han family and Wang Jia.

In Meilinzhai's study, everyone is discussing matters.

"Lu Heng actually reported it, so Tuo Tuer approved it?" The person who asked the question was Han Ji, and under his left head stood a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, who was in charge of the discipline of the academy's students. Long Qiu Zhi.Qiu Zhi had just received the news from his subordinates that Lu Heng, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce who spoke in Henan's water control, hastened his horse recently and sent a memorial to revise the river control plan to Dadu, asking Prime Minister Tuo Tuer to approve it.According to the informant, it was Xie Shi's eight-character river control strategy that made Lu Heng change his mind.

Qiu Zhi replied: "Your Majesty, Totoer did not agree. He thought Mr. Xie's plan was too slanted and not appropriate enough. In the approved memorial, he ordered Lu Heng to act according to the original plan."

Hearing this, Han Ji paused, frowned solemnly, and remained silent for a long time, obviously angry at Totol for being so short-sighted, and it was in vain for him to spend all his time, ordering someone to send the anthology to Lu Heng.All the people in the study did not dare to say a word because of the Lord's anger. It was not until a while before Han Ji commented lightly: "The people are unwise, the country is spoiled by emptiness, and the people are suffering. After a long time, the world will turn against it."

In Han Ji's words, the contempt and disdain for the imperial court is self-evident. If outsiders hear it, they may be accused of rebellious intentions, but Qiu Zhi and others are not surprised by what their master said. , even take it for granted.

On the lower right side of Han Ji is a young man who is eight feet long, imposing, and dressed as a warrior. His surname is the same as that of a tiger. of martial arts.At this time, he stepped forward and said: "My lord, if the world will turn against me in the future, I implore the lord, even if it is for self-protection in the future, we must make arrangements early."

Cen Yu, who was on the side, didn't look like he used to chat and laugh in front of people at this time, he also stepped forward and echoed Qi Cheng's words, "The Lord cares about the people of the Li people, so he must make plans early, this world is governed by the chaos of the people. For more than 100 years, Guishou Hegu!" Qiu Zhi also bowed and said: "I hope the Lord thinks twice!"

Standing up, Han Ji, who turned his hands back to everyone, did not speak. He raised his head slightly and looked at the couplets on the left and right sides of the study—to establish a righteous heart for the world, to establish a life for the living people, to inherit the sage's knowledge, and to bring peace to all generations. The four sentences of Hengqu written by the great Confucianist Zhang Zai that have lasted through the ages, from today's perspective, can be said to hit Han Ji's heart every word.

After a long time, Han Ji sighed: "Let's discuss this matter again." Everyone wanted to persuade them again, but Han Ji raised his hand to stop them.Perhaps sensing the serious atmosphere in the study, Zhou Ping, the steward outside, knocked lightly on the study door.

Cen Yu raised his voice and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Ping said: "Mr. Xie brought food over again, the Lord and the adults haven't used the lunch snack yet, do you want to use some now?"

Cen Yu raised his eyebrows, the word "again" was very intriguing, he turned to look at the master, unexpectedly, Han Ji nodded in agreement.

All the people in this room, except Qi Teng, are no strangers to Xie Shi.Qi Teng has been fighting pirates and Japanese pirates on the opposite Ryukyu island for the past two months, protecting the big ships of the Han family going out to sea, and only returned to the academy last night.

The awe-inspiring atmosphere was interrupted by Xie Shi's feeding, and it eased up. Zhou Ping brought in the tightly wrapped lacquer box, opened it, and found that it was an iced drink in a straight glass bottle—of course glass The cup is not colorless and transparent.Fortunately, Xie Shi was very generous to the savior who fed him. I didn't know which flavor Han Ji liked better, so he thoughtfully sent a serving of ice drinks of all flavors, so even if Han Ji had a customer today, he would not As for the embarrassing scene where there is not enough points.

Han Ji glanced at it, and took the cup of powdered tea milk green, and the rest of the people stretched out their hands to drink.Considering the taste of adults, Xie Shi specially asked the cook to add less sugar, so Han Ji did not feel sweet and greasy as soon as he ate it, but it was like a sipping dew with a unique fragrance. The powder made from Beiyuan tea group The powdered tea has a strong fragrance, and when blended with milk and tea soup, it is unexpectedly smooth as fat, and it is a kind of sweetness that is different from clear tea.

Qi Teng didn't care about eating at all, he put down the iced drink in his hand, and originally wanted to unite with the rest of the people to continue persuading, but saw that the rest of the people didn't receive his eyes at all, ignored him, and just buried their heads in drinking... Everyone drank very seriously.

Qi Qi looked around in a daze, he was not here for the past two months, what important things did he miss?What Cen Yu happened to get was the sweetest mango nectar, but it was very suitable for his taste. It was like drinking sweet honey. On a hot midsummer afternoon, drinking a cup of nectar could be said to be full of breeze and refreshed. Yi, very refreshing.

Cen Yu drank most of it in one gulp, looked up and saw that Qi Teng's cup was not moving, and immediately reminded him in a low voice: "It's a pity that you are not here for a while, and you missed a lot of delicious food. This is the new chef Xie from the academy. The craftsmanship is superb, comparable to a god, and there are unexpected benefits, and you will know it when you eat too much in the future."

But Qi Teng didn't take it seriously, he only wanted to start a career, he whispered: "How can I still have the mind to eat at this time, it's rare to have this opportunity, why don't you join forces with me to persuade the Lord, this is a serious matter!"

Cen Yu shook his head, "Brother Qi, when will you change your temperament of being a warrior, you have to feed your belly before you can talk about starting a career. Don't worry, it's not like you're going to die tomorrow."

Look at what he said, Qi Teng was angry and said in his heart, Cen Gu'an is indeed the one who is most accustomed to indulgence and pleasure, and never forgets to eat and beauties.Choked by Cen Gu'an's foolish attitude, Qi Li, who was brimming with anger, heard the master above say in a second: "Qi Si, try it too."

Unlike Cen Yu, who was always at odds with each other, when the master spoke, Qi Teng naturally obeyed. He quickly picked up the glass in his hand, regardless of whether it was a cow chewing peony or not, and drank it down in one gulp.However, Qi Tan, who was originally only dealing with it, was a little stunned, and just now his anger rose in his chest. He was so anxious that he seemed to be soaking his soul in a curling pot. The taste of the grape smoothie was like chewing ice crisp. , it moisturizes the throat and quenches thirst, clears away troubles and clears the heart, and refreshes the heart and soul. A cup of succulent grapes will soon see the bottom, and all the anger and anxiety will dissipate, leaving only peace of mind.

Qi Chen felt a little unbelievable until he left the study room, and he didn't even get angry when Cen Yu teased him about giving him herbal tea every day to make him lose his temper.On the other hand, Qiu Zhi suddenly said: "Young Master Xie is amazing, it's been a long time since the Lord treats someone like this."

Don't look at Han Ji's always coming to the food brought by Xie Shi, but as close subordinates, everyone knows that since they were young, after experiencing the incident of being served by someone close to them during the meal, the lord They no longer eat food sent by outsiders, even the food in the canteen of the academy can only be imported after being tested for drugs by the people below, but today, they saw an exception.

Cen Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Tianguang, and said quietly: "The culinary skills are just Xie Tanwei's insignificant excellence. This son is by no means an ordinary person. Not only is he extremely intelligent, but also his luck is so good that he is blessed by the heavens." Favor, I am afraid only the master can surpass it." And the master has a special status, but Xie Shi is just an ordinary child from a poor family, so it is strange!

The other two looked at Cen Yu in amazement, apparently not believing what he said. Cen Yu discovered the method of desilting brown sugar when they first met, and when they went up the mountain, Xie Shi accidentally discovered the Tianhuang Stone Mine. Finally, I also talked about the cooperation with the academy to sell essential oils. Recently, because of thanks, they can be said to be making a lot of money every day.

"There is one more thing, which is more mysterious. It varies from person to person. According to my observation, the food made by Xie Shi is not only delicious in taste, but also has some special effects compared to others."

Qiu Zhi frowned: "I don't talk about strange powers, if it's luck, God has its own arrangements, and I can talk a little bit, but Xie Shi is not some kind of fairy jade chef, and the theory of miraculous effects is too weird."

Cen Yu spread out his feather fan, expressing his helplessness, knowing that they didn't believe it, but Qi Tong thought about his feelings just now, and said thoughtfully, "Having such a different person will help the great cause, and he should be a good student to win him over. Maybe we can work with him in the future." The three of them quite agreed with this statement, so they agreed.

------------

On the other side, the four teenagers who returned to the academy caused a lot of limelight.The reason for the incident was that Fu You couldn't control his proud mouth, so he bragged to his classmates during class that he just ate at Mr. Xie's house and drank iced drinks like nectar and dew from the sky.Succulent grapes, mango nectar, a full cup of vanilla, green tea with milk, how it tastes, what color it is, what it is made of, I remember it better than anyone else.

What's more, he was afraid that his classmates wouldn't be able to imagine it. Relying on his super memory of delicious food, he drew them one by one and spread them all over the class. The corners of their mouths drooped, and they all protested that Fu Xiaopang didn't bring him with him.
