Chapter 493 One Cup Is Not Enough
When Li Heng opened the lid of the pot again, the meatballs inside had turned into a translucent amber color.
It is different from the black pearls Li Heng had seen in his previous life.
It must be because of the sugar, but that doesn’t matter. Except for Li Heng, everyone else is meeting him for the first time.
In order to confirm whether the pearls in the pot were cooked, Li Heng scooped up a few with a colander and planned to taste them first.
"Brother Li Heng, we want one too."
As a result, before he opened his mouth, two chubby hands stretched out in front of him. The two little ones stared at the spoon in Li Heng's hand and said in unison.
"No, I just want to taste it to see if it's cooked."
Li Heng gave them a displeased look. He shouldn't have eaten in front of the two little ones.
"I'll go to the spiritual field tomorrow and see if I can find any spiritual plants like bitter melon to teach these two a lesson."
After picking up a pearl from the spoon, Li Heng handed the spoon directly to the two of them, while he was thinking to himself at the same time.
"Hehe, thank you Brother Li Heng!"
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't notice his little thoughts. She happily took the spoon and went to the side to share the pearls with Xiao Chi.
I hope there are an even number of pearls in the spoon, otherwise their fake sisterhood will be broken soon.
The pearls are made of starch, with a hint of sweetness, a bit soft and sticky, yet very chewy.
Although the color is different, the taste is still the same.
"It's cooked!"
After tasting a pearl, Li Heng turned off the fire. If they were cooked for too long, the pearls would swell and become soft, losing their chewiness.
Take out the cooked pearls and rinse them in cold water. This way, they will be more chewy when you eat them later.
The last step is to take out the refrigerated milk tea from the refrigerator and divide it into several slightly larger empty cups.
Add a large spoonful of freshly made pearls to each cup and a few pieces of crushed ice. This way, a cup of homemade pearl milk tea is ready.
Let me drink it with you!
"Come on, come on, one cup each, help yourself!"
There was no need for Li Heng to remind people about eating and drinking. Before he could finish his words, everyone had already picked up their cups.
When they were about to raise their glasses and drink, Li Heng interrupted them again.
"Don't be so impatient! This is not how you drink bubble tea. It's more interesting if you drink it this way."
After saying that, Li Heng took out a handful of bamboo straws from his ring and distributed them to everyone in the kitchen.
"Is it true? Hehe, let me try it first!"
After Su Lingxuan inserted the straw, she picked up the milk tea and took a big gulp.
"Wow~ I never thought that milk and tea together would taste so good!"
The silky smooth milk tea passed across the tip of the tongue. The rich milk aroma and the elegant tea fragrance intertwined together, enveloping Su Lingxuan's taste buds.
After taking one bite, she liked the taste.
Not only Su Lingxuan, but everyone else including Li Heng himself, also likes to drink milk tea.
"I wonder why Master Li Feng specifically emphasized that we drink with a straw. It's so addictive to drink milk tea and eat the pearls at the same time!"
Qingya drank the milk tea and chewed pearls contentedly, feeling that all the fatigue she had experienced along the way was relieved a lot.
"Huh? Why are there two more cups here?"
After quickly showing off the milk tea in their cups, the two little ones were about to ask Li Heng for refills when they discovered that there were two cups left on the table, untouched.
"Brother Li Heng, are these two cups specially reserved for the two of us? You are so kind to us!"
The two little ones were overjoyed and went straight for the two cups of milk tea without thinking.
"What are you two thinking about? Just have a drink. We're going to have lunch soon!"
Li Heng was faster than the two kids. He caught up with them and put the remaining milk tea into his ring.
"Crack, snap!"
The two little ones were a step slower and missed their target, so they had to hug Li Heng's thighs.
"Brother Li Heng, how could you do this? We were the ones who finished drinking first, you can't cheat me!"
Xiao Chi thought that Li Heng wanted to monopolize the remaining two cups of milk tea.
"You can even give us half of it!"
Lu Xiaoxiao also echoed from the side.
"No, are you guys listening to me? I told you guys to only have one drink each."
"Then why did you make two more cups?"
The two kids realized that their coquettish attack was useless, so they had to let Li Heng go and asked in confusion.
"Of course it's for the other two."
Li Heng walked out of the kitchen while talking.
The people he was talking about were the two brothers Dayong and Erhu who were still helping him look after the bean paste.
"Are there other people in this yard besides us? Brother Li Heng is not lying to us, right?"
Xiao Chi, who had been cheated many times, stood up and questioned Li Hengdao at the first moment.
"Hmph~ I'll find out if there's anyone there once I check."
After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she directly released her spiritual sense. Sure enough, in a room not far away, she sensed two somewhat familiar auras.
"There really is someone else. Let's go and take a look."
The two little ones looked at each other, nodded, and caught up with Li Heng in a few steps.
"Brother Li Heng, do you want me to run errands for you?"
Xiao Chi's eyes rolled and a plan immediately came to his mind.
She had already recognized the identities of the two people in the room. Because of Li Heng, the two brothers and Lu Xiaoxiao and the others could be considered old acquaintances.
Therefore, as long as he could get past Li Heng, Xiao Chi was very confident that he could get a piece of the pie from these two brothers.
"How is it, Brother Li Heng? It must be so hard to walk such a long way! It's such a difficult task, why not let us take care of it!"
After leaving the kitchen, Xiao Chi pretended to care about Li Hengdao.
Why do you say it is false?
Because the distance from the kitchen to the room where the two brothers are is only a few dozen feet. If you walk normally, it will only take one minute to get there. How tiring can it be?
Li Heng stopped immediately upon hearing this, without saying anything. He just hugged his shoulders and watched Xiao Chi's performance quietly.
"Okay! Okay! We can go with Brother Li Heng, right?"
After being stared at by Li Heng for a long time, Xiao Chi finally began to feel guilty and had to pull him forward.
The three of them quickly arrived at the room where the two brothers were staying, and Li Heng didn't even have time to breathe.
"Master Li Feng, why are you here now? It's still early!"
Li Heng's arrival surprised Dayong a little, because Li Heng had told them before that the things in the tank would not be truly finished until evening.
"Hey! Isn't this Xiaoxiao and Xiaochi? Where did you go yesterday? I didn't even see you two at dinner."
Erhu also stood up and greeted the two little ones naturally.
"It has nothing to do with that. I made something new and thought I'd bring it over for you guys to try."
Li Heng said casually and handed two cups of milk tea to the two of them.
"Well...thank you so much for your kindness, Master Li Feng!"
Dayong's brain wanted to refuse, but his hands had already consciously taken the cup.
"Forget it. I've already drunk such a precious wine, so I won't miss this one... Wait, this looks like milk, right? Why doesn't it smell like milk?"
The two brothers wondered in their hearts.
