Ni Yang said with a smile, “I just came over intending to buy some other things. Auntie, do you have cassava flour here?”
“Yes, yes, we do. I’ll get it for you right away.” The noodle shop owner’s wife turned around to fetch the cassava flour for Ni Yang. “Yangyang, how much do you want?”
Ni Yang thought for a moment, “Give me two catties for now.”
“Alright.”
The shop’s owner’s wife weighed a full two catties of cassava flour and handed it to Ni Yang.
“Auntie, how much is it?”
The owner’s wife said with a smile, “Nevermind, it’s just a bit of cassava flour.” Ni Yang ordered over 60 yuan worth of noodles from her every day, so a bit of cassava flour really wasn’t much. Since Ni Yang was so generous with them, they couldn’t be stingy either. It’s a two-way street after all.
“Thankyou then, Auntie,” Ni Yang took the cassava flour and continued, “By the way, how much is this cassava flour per cattie? I might order in large quantities in the future.”
The owner’s wife lowered her voice, “I sell it to others at one cess per cattie, but I’ll give it to you for eight cent.”
Ni Yang thanked her with a smile.
After buying everything, Ni Yang hopped on her bike to ride home.
She had to pass Li Dongliang’s shop on the way back.
However, when that familiar figure flashed past on the road, Li Wei, who was engrossed in cementing his English knowledge, suddenly brightened up. Was that… Ni Yang?
When he realized it was Ni Yang, Li Wei quickly went after her.
Unfortunately, Ni Yang was too fast, and Li Wei couldn’t catch up with her.
With no other choice, Li Wei returned to his notes, feeling dejected.
He had originally planned to ask Ni Yang where she had disappeared to these past few days…
“Xiaowei, what’s wrong?” Qian Jinfeng came out of the shop, looking puzzled at her precious son.
Li Wei put on a smile, “Nothing, I just thought I saw Ni Yang.”
“Ni Yang?” Qian Jinfeng frowned slightly, “Is she back selling at the stall? Didn’t she rent her stall to someone else?”
“I don’t know.” After leaving this remark, Li Wei walked into the building looking glum.
Qian Jinfeng was left standing there with mixed feelings.
Why has Ni Yang come back?
Where is she selling now?
Is her business good?
Is she back to seduce her precious son?
She can’t allow her son to get entangled with the likes of her, so Qian Jinfeng ran after Li Wei, speaking gravely, “Xiaowei, you’re a senior high school student now, and next year you’re going to take the college entrance exam. You absolutely can’t let yourself get distracted at a time like this. Ni Yang might have a pretty face, but can a face provide meals? From what I can see, I doubt she even finished primary school. How could she possibly be good enough for you?”
“You’re going to be a university student!”
“I got it, I got it.” Li Wei responded casually, then, with a ‘thud’, closed the door behind him.
Qian Jinfeng didn’t give up and continued to ramble outside the door.
Inside, Li Wei directly tore off two small pieces of paper and stuffed them into his ears.
After Ni Yang got home, she began preparing to make a new beverage.
She had already thought about it during the day. Given that sour plum soup, a cold drink, wasn’t suitable for winter, she could create a hot drink.
A steaming cup of hot milk tea in winter not only warms the body, but the stomach as well. Doesn’t that sound wonderful?
Let’s do it then!
Ni Yang brought out the cassava flour she had bought, mixed it with brown sugar and water to make into small balls, boiled them until they were cooked, and voila, she had black tapioca pearls!
Once the pearls were ready, Ni Yang opened a tin of tea leaves, scooped out a small handful and placed them in a pot, added water, and boiled it until the tea was the right color, followed by adding milk and simmering it on low heat.
At this point, the aroma of the milk and tea fusion began to permeate the air.
The scent was rich and intoxicating.
Ni Yang took three cups, placed a small spoonful of the pearls inside each, followed by the freshly brewed milk tea.
After all of this, Ni Yang brought the milk tea to the living room.
When Ni Yang came over, Ni Chengui knew that what Ni Yang was carrying was probably something new and exciting.
“Yangyang,” Ni Chengui asked with a smile, “Did you come up with another new drink?”
Ni Yang nodded, placing the brewed milk tea on the table, “Auntie Ni, Mum, this is the milk tea I just brewed, try it.”
“Milk tea?” Ni Chenggui perked up at this, “I had this when I was on a business trip in Inner Mongolia!”
Ni Yang said with a smile, “Then try it and see if mine is as good as the one you had in Inner Mongolia.”
