Chapter 251 Pearl Small Balls Small Taro Balls

Yesterday's millet rice crispy rice crispy rice and caramel milk tea were really popular, and then... no surprise, it ended up in the takeout stall.

Ji Caimai, who was dialing the abacus and smiling so hard that his eyes almost narrowed into slits, looked at the servants lining up to buy snacks and raised his eyebrows: "How many do you want?"

"Three servings of millet crispy rice and two servings of caramel milk tea!" The guard looked at Ji Caimai who was smiling from ear to ear and sighed. "There are really more and more snacks entering the takeout stall!"

The braised duck, tea eggs, fried chestnuts with sugar and so on are still there and are still popular. Due to the cold weather recently, the ice powder, mung bean cake, and sweet-scented osmanthus plum drink are not sold during the hot weather, but millet crispy rice crispy rice and caramel milk tea have been added.

After receiving a few coins from the servant, Ji Caimai glanced at him sideways, took the money in his hand and asked, "Are the snacks that cost money still delicious?"

The officer smelled the rich frankincense in the air, sighed helplessly, and nodded in resignation: "It smells very good!"

This snack is really not expensive! Most of the snacks that can be bought with this money on the streets are not very delicious and require a lot of effort. How can they compare to Master Wen's craftsmanship?

Unlike the snacks at Nahongyanlou, it feels exquisite and delicious when you eat it. When you ask about the price, you immediately feel "not delicious" again!

There's nothing you can do about it, ordinary people! With only a small amount of monthly salary, you have to support a family, so you still have to consider money. Unlike those with rich families who can go to Hongyan Tower...

Just as he was thinking about this, Yu Jijiu, a regular customer with a "rich family fortune," walked in with a few teaching doctors from the Imperial College next door and a lot of food boxes. He smiled and said hello to Ji Caimai, walked to the back of the crowd and lined up. While saying: "I really liked yesterday's afternoon snack of millet crispy rice crispy rice and caramel milk tea. I came here to buy some to reward the students in the Imperial College who did well in the monthly exam this month!"

"It's a big deal!" Ji Caimai glanced at Yu Jijiu with a smile and said, "Next time if Yu Jijiu wants to reward all the students in the Imperial College, remember to say hello to us in advance. So I can prepare enough ingredients!"

Hearing this, Yu Jijiu smiled and responded, saying "Okay" repeatedly.

Seeing that Yu Jijiu, who had a "rich family fortune", had not been to Hongyan Tower for quite some time and only came to their Dali Temple. For some reason, the officers couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, even though 'Shopkeeper Ji' It costs money to take out, but we don’t miss every portion, but we don’t increase the price indiscriminately!”

If it were placed in an outside restaurant, the price might have started to increase due to the long queue!

However, although the price will not increase, Chef Wen, who is always the most "unique", will add something special to the caramel milk tea.

The servants queuing up to buy milk tea and crispy rice looked curiously at Wen Mingtang and others rolling the dough into long strips behind the counter.

The long strips of dough rolled into glutinous rice balls and Ah Bing are slightly darker in color, dark brown, but the strips in Master Wen's hands are purple, yellow, and white, and they look very bright in color.

Seeing this, someone couldn't help but ask Wen Mingtang: "Master Wen, what are you doing?"

Wen Mingtang said: "As an ingredient in caramel milk tea, A Bing and Tang Yuan make pearl dumplings, but here I make taro balls!"

Looking at the small balls that looked like glutinous rice balls, everyone was puzzled: "What's the difference between them and the small balls with glutinous rice balls?"

Wen Mingtang said: "That one is made of glutinous rice, and this one is made of tapioca starch. The taste is very different."

As for the different methods... Ji Caimai said with a smile: "If you buy caramel milk tea today, you can add some for free. It's just for this day. If you want to add more tomorrow, it will cost you money!"

As soon as these words came out, all the officers who were waiting in line couldn't help but shout "Ji Caimai is treacherous". It sounds "free", but can't they be sure that everyone will still want to eat after eating it?

Listening to everyone's complaints, Ji Caimai's smile never diminished: "You don't have to add the free ones today. When did I, the public chef of Dali Temple, force everyone to add them?" He rolled his eyelids and nodded, " If you don’t eat it, you won’t think about it since you haven’t eaten it! It’s a good idea!”

Hearing these words, one really wants to drag Ji Caimai, who is sitting behind the stall, out and teach him a lesson!

The free pearl dumplings and taro dumplings are right next to them. How can one resist adding them? Ji Caimai, who was already trying it out, picked up the bamboo tube with a thin bamboo tube inserted in it, took a sip, and then saw him chewing it with his cheeks.

Although they probably guessed something, someone still couldn't help but ask: "Ji Caimai, are you chewing the so-called pearl dumplings and taro balls?"

Ji Caimai nodded, chewed and twirled the straw on the side of the bamboo tube, said "Hmm" and said, "I sucked up the milk tea together with one sip!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this sentence: No wonder Master Wen rolled the pearl balls and taro balls into such a big size! This size is just right for passing through the thin bamboo tube called a "straw". Once you take a sip, the milk tea and the small balls go into your mouth, which really saves you a lot of trouble.

Judging from the way Ji Caimai chewed it, he guessed that the texture of the wish was different from the soft and glutinous rice dumplings.

The waiter who was at the front of the queue and ordered the caramel milk tea with added ingredients took the milk tea into his hand and took a sip through the "straw". The taste of the milk tea in his mouth was not unfamiliar. He had already tasted it yesterday.

But it was the small pearl dumplings mixed in that made his eyes light up. While chewing the dumplings in his mouth, he said to the people in the queue who had not yet had their turn: "The surface is slippery and very smooth. Chew it." It tastes very elastic, and when you bite into it, it has a soft and chewy texture. When paired with this milk tea, it tastes really wonderful, just like... like green vegetables with tofu, the two should be paired together!"

Yu Jijiu, who was still a few people away from taking his turn, glanced at the servant who was holding a bamboo tube and sucking milk tea through a thin bamboo tube, and gave him a sideways look: "Master Wen has not only given you a naughty mouth, but also this His ability to taste food has improved greatly!" That description really made him want to give it a try now.

…

After lunch, the officers who had been sent to watch in front of the Huang Mansion in the early morning returned.

As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw a room full of colleagues twisting millet rice crackers and drinking "caramel milk tea" from bamboo tubes. He couldn't help but twitch his lips and turned to see Lin Fei.

Because of the cold weather, Lin Shaoqing's door was not as wide open as before. Officer Zhao was not guarding the door at this time. The two of them knocked on the door and heard a "come in" sound from inside. Opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Lin Fei ask: "How is it?"

The two officers looked up and were about to reply when they saw Lin Fei, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu inside the room looking towards them.

The three of them all held a bamboo tube in one hand and drank caramel milk tea through the thin bamboo tube in their mouths.

It seems that Master Wen’s snacks are very popular this time! The two guards who had been busy all morning swallowed their saliva and thought to themselves.
