NOVEL NEXT Chapter 193 Wine and Coffee
Ajiao raised his head and saw his brother Xiaodouzi throwing his lower teeth up against the green tiles. He touched the front teeth in his mouth and asked blankly: "Brother, when will I change my teeth? I also Throw it high."
"In another year, when Ajiao turns six, you will also start to lose your teeth."
Xiaodouzi carried Ajiao on his back and staggered out of the house, singing songs.
"Brother, I want to do the lion dance!"
Xiaodouzi learned how to wake up the lion, hummed a song, and carried Ajiao back to Liuxiang Snacks unsteadily.
When passing by the food pick-up window, Mu Zhiyuan stopped the two of them.
"Where have you two brats gone?"
Xiaodouzi ran to the window, opened his mouth wide, and showed off to him: "Brother, look, I have changed my teeth."
"Brother got his teeth stuck by eating rice and mochi." Ajiao added in Nuoyan Nuoyu.
"Haha~ Is Shopkeeper Jin's rice mochi so sticky?"
Mu Zhiyuan sneered, went to the kitchen, and asked Miao Xi for rice and potato milk tea.
Seeing Mu Zhiyuan's childish request for sugar water, Mao Xi declined: "Brother Mu, Liuxiang snacks don't have much rice and mochi. Shopkeeper Jin's co-branded ones were sold out early in the morning. Do you really want to eat them?"
"There are plenty of little beans to eat, why can't I? I'm a little tired. Make a bowl for me to eat! Isn't milk tea refreshing?"
Mao Xi brought over the cooked rice mochi milk tea: "Brother Mu, be careful, don't stick your teeth out like Xiaodouzi."
Mu Zhiyuan took a bite of mochi and chewed it in his mouth, and suddenly shouted: "Oh, oh, Ah, your mochi is so sticky, it seems like my teeth are stuck out."
Xiaodouzi also shouted: "Sister, your rice mochi is too sticky!"
Seeing Mu Zhiyuan covering the right side of his face and his eyes twinkling, Mao Xi put his hands on his hips and smiled: "Stop acting. If the mochi is sticky, I will take the bowl away."
Mao Xi saw through Mu Zhiyuan's little trick and reached for the bowl.
Mu Zhiyuan blocked it with a wave of his hand, grabbed Mao Xi's little wrist, turned around and took a spoonful of rice mochi and put it into Mao Xi's mouth: "If I'm not joking with you, you should also take a bite."
This mouthful of rice mochi was glutinous and chewy, soft and sweet. Mao Xi took a bite and swallowed it.
Although I have been selling this sugar water these past few days, I have never sat down to taste it carefully.
After being fed a mouthful of rice mochi by Mu Zhiyuan, the glutinous and sweet taste caught him off guard.
Mao Xi reacted instantly and returned to the kitchen with a blushing face.
Xiao Qing shouted "Shopkeeper, someone is looking for you" and then pulled Mian Xi back from the "Mi Mo Chi".
The visitor was shopkeeper Du from the wine shop. He was holding a small vat of wine in his hand and was looking for Shu Xi to discuss joint sales.
"Shopkeeper Liu, I am the shopkeeper of Dujia Winery in Kaitang County. I heard that the milk tea co-branded by Jinjia Cake Shop and you is selling well. I wonder if my steamed wine can also cooperate with the drinks in your shop?"
Mao Xi cupped her hands and saluted, "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Du. Steamed wine and sugar water go well together."
Shopkeeper Du opened the lid, and the aroma of white wine wafted out.
"Shopkeeper Liu, this is distilled wine, not ordinary rice wine. Take a look."
Shopkeeper Du poured a bowl of wine. It was clear and transparent. Isn't this liquor?
White wine and coffee, that’s a soy sauce latte!
This mixing method of drinking wine and coffee was something that no one had tried before, so Ma Xi told Shopkeeper Du his idea: "Shopkeeper Du, if we want to make fermented rice dumplings, which are sold in every restaurant, we will make different drinks. What do you think of the wine-flavored coffee?”
Shopkeeper Du had long heard that the shopkeeper of Liu's Sweet Shop was full of ideas and had novel food. The combination of wine and coffee would be right. After all, even glutinous rice cakes can be added to milk tea and sold very well.
The two immediately decided to sell wine-flavored coffee at Mao Xi’s Tang Shui Shop from tomorrow. The Du family and the Liu family jointly created this joint coffee drink.
Shopkeeper Du left the liquor he brought with Shui Xi and promised that she would only supply it to her sweet shop.
"Shopkeeper Du, I'm curious about something. I don't know whether I should ask it or not?"
"Shopkeeper Liu, feel free to ask, as long as I know something."
"Every drop of your distilled wine is the essence of grain. It is usually a rare wine on the tables of restaurants or high-end nobles. However, my sugar water shop sells ordinary drinks. Don't worry if you make a joint venture with me. Will it lower the quality of your steamed wine?"
Shopkeeper Du stroked his beard, raised his head and smiled: "Hahaha! Shopkeeper Liu, I am not that rotten old stubborn. The Du family's distilled liquor is also divided into low, medium and high liquor. The one I am working with you this time is medium liquor." Liquor, I also hope that with your help, more people will like our Du family’s distilled liquor.”
This shopkeeper is really down-to-earth. Mao Xi made a few cups of coffee and mixed some of shopkeeper Du's distilled liquor for everyone to taste together.
This taste is really unique. The mellow grain sauce aroma and the unique nutty burnt aroma of coffee complement each other. When they meet on the tip of the tongue, it is like a conversation between a wise man and a spiritual young man.
Mao Xi had never tasted that soy sauce latte before traveling through time. She tried it today and found that the taste was quite overpowering. She didn't know if she would be drunk or more energetic after a while.
I don't know if the steamed wine was too fragrant, but Lu Da and Mu Zhiyuan found it unsatisfactory, so they poured more distilled wine into the cups of coffee.
This is not coffee, it has become liquor.
"Cheers! I'm bored now, hahaha..."
Mu Zhiyuan and Lu Da drank happily, and then privately ordered ten jars of wine from shopkeeper Du to send to Prince Jia's palace.
The business was soon settled again, and shopkeeper Du happily drank and chatted with several senior men.
What? I want everyone to try the taste of the new drink. Why did these people drink it? Wouldn’t it delay their work later?
Mao Xi quickly sealed the distilled wine in his hand and asked Dajiang to put it in the kitchen.
Shopkeeper Du of the wine shop had just left. Lu Da and Mu Zhiyuan were somewhat addicted to alcohol. Although they were stopped by Shu Xi in time,...
For dinner, braised pig ears are served.
Mu Zhiyuan held the pig ears and went back to the house with Lu Da to have a drink with Butler Wang.
Shopkeeper Du had already delivered the distilled wine to the palace. Butler Wang held a jar of wine and greeted his prince at the door of the palace.
"Your Majesty, the wine shop has just sent someone to deliver wine. I know that you are going to bring braised food back, and the cook has already prepared the food."
At midnight, Mu Zhiyuan and Lu Da returned to the shop belatedly.
The two of them smelled of alcohol, Luda hiccupped occasionally, and the way he grilled squid and meat skewers was more elegant.
Lou Lan'er joked: "Ah Shu, look at Brother Lu Da, he talks like this with a vibrato~ It seems like the Uighur people are grilling skewers. I feel that the grilled meat skewers have a more authentic flavor."
The shop was closed, and they were supposed to go back to their respective homes. Mu Zhiyuan, who was drunk and brave, insisted on accompanying Shu Xi back to her new house. He teased the local dog Pi Dan in the living room and refused to leave.
It wasn't until Lou Lan'er came out and shouted "Hai Shi" that Mu Zhiyuan moved his steps and came to Mao Xi's window, whispered something while drinking, and was reluctant to leave.
"Ah Shu, what did Brother Mu just whisper to you?" Lou Lan'er asked curiously as she approached.
"He didn't say anything, just go to bed!"
The wind has a sound, but the moon is speechless. Mao Xi put down the small window fork, turned around and blew out the candle.
