At noon that day, Li Tannian made a lot of leek boxes for the four little ones.
Both sides of the leek box were fried to golden brown by Li Tannian, the skin was extra crispy, and the filling was full of flavor. Served with wild vegetable soup, it was so delicious that the four little ones couldn't stop eating it.
After the meal, Li Tannian specially asked Dabao to give some to Xiao Taohong, and only asked her to take it out and heat it up when she didn't want to cook.
Even so, there is still a lot left in the pot.
It happened that vegetables were growing in the wasteland. In the evening, Li Tannian simply cooked some meat porridge and fried some vegetables for the four little ones. The family continued to eat the leek box.
"Mom, the leek box is so delicious. Can we continue to eat the leek box tomorrow?" Sanya asked, and Xiao Sibao immediately agreed, "Sibao also wants to eat the leek box tomorrow."
Xiao Sibao's mouth was stuffed with a box of leeks. When he spoke, his cheeks were bulging. He looked like a hamster, very cute.
Li Tannian reached out and wanted to pinch his cheeks, but when he thought that his hands that had just taken the leek box were stained with a lot of oil, he had no choice but to give up.
"No, no matter how delicious it is, you can't eat it every day. It will be nutritious. You should not be picky about your food while you are still growing. The food should be diversified."
The four little ones nodded in understanding.
"However, after some time, I can make you a leek box with meat." Li Tannian said again, which immediately made the four little ones smile.
Lu Zhi listened to the laughter on the table and couldn't help but glance at Li Tannian. At this time, the meat porridge in his hand was still emitting steam, and her figure was also a little hazy by the heat.
He didn't know if it was her illusion, but he just felt that she seemed to be a little whiter, and her sallow face seemed to have grown some flesh, making her look a little prettier than before.
His eyes fell on her lips inadvertently. Perhaps because of the oil, her lips were pink and translucent. When she spoke, they looked like two pale red petals about to open.
Such a pretty lip, how beautiful it would be if it were stained with lipstick.
As Lu Zhi was thinking about it, he suddenly thought about the feeling of her lips falling on his cheek last night. The soft and warm touch seemed to be still on his face. His eyes dimmed and he lowered his head calmly.
I lost my sight and didn't dare to look any further.
Halfway through the meal, Feng Shi came.
But seeing his face turn red, he hesitated for a long time, and then asked: "Sanlang, do you have any extra mattresses at home?"
Lu Zhi was stunned and looked at Feng Shi inquiringly. Feng Shi quickly said: "It's not what you think. Our village is close to a mountain and it's wet and cold at night. I'm afraid that my wife will get cold at night."
It's scorching hot weather now. How can I catch the cold? It's probably because my wife doesn't sleep on the same mattress with him.
Lu Zhi pursed his lips and quickly returned to the house to give Feng Shi a mattress. Before leaving the house, he called out to Feng Shi: "Ashi."
When Feng Shi turned around and looked at him, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
He thought of Li Tannian and laughed at himself. How much better was his current situation than Ash's?
"What's wrong?" Feng Shi waited for a long time without waiting for him to speak, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Lu Zhi shook his head and said nothing in the end, only urging him to go back quickly.
Li Tannian and Lu Zhi watched his leaving figure, feeling worried in their hearts. However, there was no news that Feng Shi was at odds with his new wife.
Two days later, Li Tannian went to town to deliver goods and saw the young couple returning home together on the way.
However, she loaded three baskets of grapes and two buckets of crayfish on the bullock cart. She and the four little ones were already very crowded and could not squeeze in any more people, so she did not invite them to get on the cart.
The weather in early August was as hot as a steamer.
There were gradually fewer people going to the market in the town, so Li Tannian asked Uncle Gen to drive the ox cart to the entrance of April Sky Restaurant.
As soon as she got off the bullock cart, she felt a gaze staring directly at her. She subconsciously looked around, but saw nothing.
By the time she got out of the car with a bucket of crayfish, Counter Wu had already hurriedly led the waiter over to help.
As usual, Li Tannian went to the private room on the second floor with Accountant Wu to inspect the goods. He saw that Wu Qi was not wearing a curtain and hat, just sitting at the window railing.
Perhaps because the tuberculosis was under control, his originally extremely sick face gradually became more popular. When he looked at her, the corners of his mouth curved almost invisible, and he suddenly became more angry.
"Miss, you look good today." Li Tannian grinned and said to him.
"It's because Mrs. Li's medical skills are so good!" Yuanyang chuckled. Wu Qi didn't say much and just asked her to pour a bowl of tea for Li Tannian.
"yes!"
Her master had a mysophobia, and his cups would not be used easily. Therefore, after Yuanyang received the order, he immediately went to the kitchen to get a cup and poured a new cup of milk tea.
Li Tannian couldn't refuse, so he politely accepted the cup.
The moment he opened the lid of the tea, a sweet smell came out. Li Tannian looked into the cup in surprise and saw the milky white mixed with brown stuff, which was particularly obvious!
This is actually...
"This is milk tea. How do you like it?" Wu Qi's voice came slowly, as pleasant as a gurgling stream.
Milk tea is not just the milk tea of ancient times!
Li Tannian's eyes lit up and he hurriedly lowered his head and took a sip. The smooth and sweet taste was just like in his memory, but it was very different from it.
By some chance, an idea came to her mind: Why not try selling milk tea?
Milk tea in this era was mostly only enjoyed by the wealthy. Not to mention the price, the taste was too strong and a bit greasier than milk tea. The milk tea she made not only balanced the greasiness of milk, but was also cheaper.
Quite a few, and most importantly, she can also make ice.
On such a hot summer day, it would be great to have a cup of iced milk tea!
Yuanyang saw Li Tannian swaying in the distance after drinking milk tea, as if he was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This milk tea is not something that ordinary people can drink. Look, Madam Li is such an extraordinary person, isn't she also shocked at this moment?
Wu Qi glanced sideways at Yuanyang, a hint of displeasure flashed in his dark pupils: "Pour Madam Li another glass."
Yuanyang felt the warning gaze of his master and did not dare to laugh again for fear of making his master angry.
She took the bowl from Li Tannian's hand and was about to give her a refill, but she heard Li Tannian say: "Miss Yuanyang, where did you buy this milk?"
"You mean the cow? I have a cow in my house, but what's the problem?"
When Li Tannian heard this, she shook her head slowly, but there was indescribable disappointment on her face. She thought they bought it at the market.
Wu Qi always knew how to look at people's faces. Seeing her like this, he said generously: "If you need it, I'll ask Yuanyang to get some for you."
Li Tannian waved her hands quickly. If she really wanted to open a milk tea shop, one cow from the Wu family would not be enough!
Pursing the milk film on the corner of her mouth, she stood up and said, "If nothing happens, Miss, I will leave first." It was still early, so she could go and see if there was a suitable shop.
Wu Qi lowered his eyes, feeling a little disappointed. Ever since he got sick, he didn't like to interact with others, let alone talk to them. But now, he just wanted to talk to her.
