Chapter 115 Heavy Rain

After the price was agreed upon, the cattle dealer said sheepishly, "I didn't bring a bowl myself, and I have to go with the bowl. I sell a bowl of milk for two cents, and I only make milk money. Do you think you can get the bowl from home?"

bring here?"

"I'll wait for you here."

After a pause, he was afraid that the customer would run away, so he continued, "If you are not in a hurry to drink, can I deliver the milk you want to your home after I close the stall?"

Gu Rao chose the latter.

"My family lives on South Street, the third one past Shiqiao."

The cattle dealer nodded in agreement.

"okay."

-

After Gu Rao returned home, she originally wanted to go upstairs and take a nap immediately, but she always felt that the clothes on her body were stained with an uncomfortable smell outside. She did not dare to go to bed to rest without taking a shower or changing clothes. Even if she rested, she would not be able to rest well.

I had no choice but to drag my exhausted body to the kitchen to boil water and take a shower.

Bieye said, "You go find a change of clothes and I'll boil the water."

Gu Rao was too tired, so he didn't refuse. He went to the second floor and found a set of clothes for himself to change from the closet, and also found other clothes for Bieye.

"It's too late today and I didn't have time to make other ingredients. This is the simplest milk tea. I'll let you try a better milk tea when I have time next time."

The rain came so suddenly!

icy.

Bieye silently remembered it in his heart.

"really?"

"Didn't you say you were tired before? Why don't you go to bed now that you're upstairs?"

The cattle dealer quickly waved his hand and said, "You only bought two bowls of milk, and I only charged you four cents. I gave you the rest of the milk, and I didn't charge you any money."

Gu Rao asked, "Does it taste good?"

"There are so many more, have they been given to us?"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Rao thought of the news he saw in his previous life that farmers would rather pour milk into the river than give it to the poor for free.

Bieye stood up and opened the door.

But, could she really drink that much by herself?

The cattle dealer carried the load. After the door opened, he put the load down and said, "I have kept the milk you asked for. There is more left, I'm afraid there are more than two bowls. I will give the extra to you."

Instead of wasting it, it's better to give it away.

Gu Rao took back his wet hand and shook the water on it, but it was still wet. Moonlight glanced at the man who was laughing at her, turned his eyes, and pretended to casually put his hand on Bieye's arm.

He rubbed it on Bieye's arm and rubbed the water on his clothes.

This was his first time trying this taste, and there was some novelty in his eyes.

Bieye said, "You take a good soak and I'll make dinner."

Although he realized that he had done something stupid, he still held on to a glimmer of hope and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy a bucket of milk? There is only a small half bucket here, which should not be enough."

He had never thought about this problem before. Would giving free milk to others affect his milk-selling business?

Gu Rao was about to be polite as usual when the words reached his lips and he swallowed them.

"Aren't you afraid that the milk you gave me has already met my needs and I won't spend money to buy milk from you tomorrow?"

Bieye seemed to notice her embarrassment and lowered his head to take a sip from Gu Rao's hand.

Gu Rao saw that he was not saying nice things just to coax her, and said happily, "I prefer to drink iced milk tea than hot milk tea. There is no ice now. It tastes better if you drink it cooler."

As soon as he finished speaking, heavy rain poured down. Before he could take his hand back, he was caught in the rain.

Finally, put the sieve in the water tank and it will solidify when you wake up tomorrow morning.

Bieye said, "Okay."

Gu Rao, "..."

Biyeye hummed.

After going downstairs, Bieye had already poured hot water into the tub.

Gu Rao gave the cattle dealer five cents.

"Sent to you."

Seeing Bieyee's expression freeze, Gu Rao knew that his little trick had been discovered, but he didn't feel guilty at all. He pretended that nothing happened and said, "It's too late, let's go to bed early."

Bieye doesn't like drinking milk very much and is a little hesitant when he smells the taste of milk.

Spread a layer of gauze on the sieve, then pour the milk paste into the sieve while it is hot.

The sky is getting darker.

"Is it going to rain tonight?"

Bieye helped light the fire.

He brought a bowl to Bieye and said expectantly, "Try how it tastes."

Gu Rao said with a smile, "Not serious."

"Can you deliver the milk early tomorrow?"

Gu Rao opened the window and felt a cool breeze. He looked outside and saw the rustling leaves of the camphor tree in the yard. He reached out to the window to feel the cool breeze.

The couple closed the kitchen door and the courtyard door, carried two bowls of milk tea, and went upstairs one after another.

Finally, pour in two bowls of milk, simmer over low heat for a while, then serve without boiling.

Bieye made a pot of vegetable porridge, fried a plate of pickles, and cut a plate of pickled radishes.

The cattle dealer was very happy.

Gu Rao persuaded, "The milk will lose its milky smell once it's boiled. What's more, there is black tea and caramel to neutralize the milky smell. Just take a sip. If you still don't like it, I'll drink it myself."

Gu Rao joked, "Then I will only buy half a barrel tomorrow."

The cattle dealer nodded.

"tastes good."

The cattle dealer breathed a sigh of relief, paused, and said hesitantly, "Do you still want a bucket of milk for tomorrow?"

Gu Rao drank a bowl of vegetable porridge with pickles and pickled radish, and all the fatigue in his body dissipated.

Gu Rao rinsed the pot for the first time, then poured all the remaining milk into the pot, added sugar and cornstarch, and stirred over low heat until it became thick.

Gu Rao also gave the cattle dealer a deposit of ten cents to put his mind at ease.

Gu Rao poured water into the pot. After the water boiled, he added a handful of Jinsi Souchong black tea. After boiling, take it out and set aside. After the pot was dry, he added a little sugar to bring out the caramel color. Then he poured in the black tea water and started again.

boiled.

"I'm seasick and can't eat meat, so I'll drink some vegetable porridge to appetize."

The weather is getting hotter and hotter now. Although the temperature has dropped in the past few days, it is still a bit muggy.

"Milk cake is very simple to make. I can do it by myself. You can take this time to take a bath and feel better after taking a bath."

The cattle dealer was startled when he heard this.

Gu Rao put the milk tea aside and said to Bieye, "Let the milk tea cool down before drinking it. I will make the remaining milk into milk cake and put it in a water tank with cold water. You can eat it when you get up tomorrow."

Gu Rao followed Bieye. Hearing what the cattle dealer said, he took a look inside the wooden bucket containing milk. Sure enough, there was still half a bucket left.

Bieye came to Gu Rao's side with a hint of smile in his eyes.

"I don't have much appetite tonight, just make something to fill my stomach."

-

Gu Rao took a comfortable bath in the hot water. When she came out, the food was already on the table.

Don't rag wild, "..."

The cattle dealer's face suddenly turned bitter.

"good!"

-

After the cattle dealer left, Gu Rao poured out two bowls of milk to make milk tea.

No one in his family could taste the taste of milk, and there were no children at home to drink milk. The remaining milk would probably have to be thrown away when he took it home.

After saying that, he took Biye and walked towards the bed.

Bieye turned back and glanced at the wide open window, intending to go back and close the window, but he was still pulled away by his wife. After she let go of his arm, he turned around and closed the window.

Gu Rao sat by the bed, holding a bowl and sipping milk tea.

After drinking half a bowl, I couldn't drink any more.
