Novel Bin Chapter 671: This is Milk Tea
She carefully took out the food box and removed the lid. There was a rather large ceramic pot inside.
Lu Hongxiu was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard footsteps outside.
In the next moment, her sister, Lu Hongqiao, appeared with Second Miss.
Gu Yunke ran to her and climbed up the stool. Her eyes lit up when she saw the ceramic pot.
“Sister Hongxiu, do you know what this is?”
Lu Hongxiu opened the box and saw water inside. No, it wasn’t water. The color was a little turbid, like beige, but it was lighter.
However, it emitted a strong sweet fragrance that made Lu Hongxiu swallow her saliva.
She looked at Gu Yunke, who seemed to know it very well, and asked with a smile, “Does Second Miss know what this is?”
“Of course, this is milk tea.” The little girl was very proud. Her chubby little hand took the porcelain spoon at the side and gently stirred it. When she picked it up again, there were a few brown beads in the spoon.
“This is delicious.” The young lady put down the spoon and slid down from the stool. She took out a cup and handed it to Lu Hongxiu.
Lu Hongxiu looked at the young lady’s eager expression and knew that she really wanted to drink it. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Second Miss, if you want to drink it, you have to ask First Miss first.”
The little girl pouted. “No, I don’t want to drink it.”
Lu Hongxiu was puzzled. Lu Hongqiao explained, “Second Miss drank it before she left and knew that it was called pearl milk tea. She was afraid that Sister didn’t know, so she came to tell her.”
Lu Hongxiu was stunned. She looked at the little girl warmly. “Thank you, Second Miss.”
As she spoke, she carefully scooped out the milk tea. Then, she covered it again and placed it in the cabinet. She carried the milk tea out.
Nie Shuang was on the second floor. The backyard was filled with men, so it was inconvenient for a lady to come.
The scenery on the second floor was good and the view was great. Nie Shuang liked it very much.
However, she was alone at this moment. Other than the maidservant, there was no one to talk to. She could only look at the environment on the second floor.
With one look, she realized that this place was actually different from the restaurants and teahouses she had seen in the past. There were a few tables on the second floor. They were not very big. Some were round, some were square, and some were rectangular. Then, there were a few small stools and small chairs. What was strange was that be it the stools or chairs, there were soft cushions on them. It was especially comfortable to sit on.
There were two long chairs in the empty space. There were also soft cushions on them. She felt like she could lie on them and sleep.
The table was white and looked refreshing. There were wooden carvings and some books on the cabinets on the left and right.
Nie Shuang thought that they were the boring Four Books, Five Classics, or Female Commandment. In the end, she took some out and flipped through them. Whoa, storybooks??
Nie Shuang’s eyes instantly lit up. Heavens, what kind of godly place was this? She felt that she could stay here for the entire afternoon without moving. As long as she had a storybook, it was enough.
Yes, there was also Go at the side. There was also a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone that she seemed to be able to write and draw with.
Nie Shuang was a little excited. Could she get a few friends to play chess and read books with her later?
Just as she thought about it, Lu Hongxiu came up.
She was carrying a tray with fruit, food and a cup on it. Tea, supposedly?
“Miss Nie, my Miss specially prepared this for you. This is the preserved fruits and canned food sold in the shop. There are also snacks. This is milk tea.”
