Chapter 12 The Su family members were forced to try oden and milk tea.
When she arrived at the dining room, her family was already seated at the table, waiting for her.
Upon seeing her arrive, a smile quickly appeared on the wrinkles of Grandpa Su's face.
"Yingying, why are you only coming back so late after you went out to eat? Your dad was so worried! How are you? Still can't eat anything today?"
Madam Su interrupted Su Mu, "Don't ask these questions now. Can't you see how tired Yingying is from carrying so many things?"
She gave Su Mu a look that successfully silenced him, and then she turned and gently took the bag from Su Yingying's hand.
“My son, I’ve never seen this bag before. Whose food is this? It looks quite unique.”
After speaking, Madam Su took a closer look at the characters on it. "Oh, I've never seen this style of calligraphy before. I wonder which calligrapher wrote it."
Madam Su came from a distinguished family and had studied calligraphy since childhood, copying the works of many calligraphers, which is why she was also able to write beautiful characters.
However, she really couldn't see who could write such neat characters, with not a single flaw in each stroke.
"Mom, Dad, listen to me first. You have no idea what I just went through!"
Once Su Yingying started talking about what she saw and heard in the "Fairyland," she immediately became very talkative.
She was so excited that she recounted the whole story from beginning to end, using a combination of words and gestures.
The four people at the table became increasingly puzzled as they listened. Could Yingying be delirious from hunger? Why was she speaking in a language they couldn't understand?
They've come up with all sorts of things, from convenience stores and milk tea shops to fairy tale wonderlands. Does this mean people are starting to hallucinate even in broad daylight?
Only Zhu'er behind her nodded frantically, clearly understanding the sentiment.
Su Yingying glanced at the faces of the group, all of whom had an expression that said, "I'll just watch you make this up." Her second brother, Su Zirang, even yawned as he listened.
Seeing that no one believed her, she angrily took out all the things she had packed and put them on the table, then stopped talking.
This time, the group was dumbfounded. The four of them looked at each other, completely bewildered.
What kind of food is this? Even the packaging is so exquisite.
Previously, the food they brought out was mostly wrapped in lotus leaves, reed leaves, banana leaves, or straw ropes, or at most in oil paper or bamboo tubes. They had never seen such exquisite paper boxes and cups before.
Each one also has calligraphy and paintings by calligraphers; it must have taken so much effort!
In the end, it was Su Zi, who was the most curious, who made the first move. He took the paper bowl that was closest to him and touched it. The surface of the bowl was even smoother than his face.
He looked on incredulously, "This bowl is so thick, and it's made of paper? Look, the top can even be opened!"
He carefully lifted the lid of the bowl, and a bowl full of oden with rich ingredients and beautiful colors appeared before them.
The bowl was still steaming, and as it spread through the air, its enticing aroma wafted into the noses of the group.
"It smells so good!" Su Zirang couldn't resist taking an empty bowl and a serving spoon and filling a small bowl with the contents.
He took a sip of the soup first. So delicious! Absolutely delicious!
It was so fresh it almost made his eyebrows fall out!
Then he picked up a crab stick, put it in his mouth, and savored it.
Three pairs of eyes were fixed on his mouth, and they couldn't help but swallow along with him, as if he had become their mouth substitute.
Seeing that he was only focused on eating and not saying anything, Grandpa Su couldn't help but ask him, "Rang'er, how is it? What does it taste like?"
Su Zirang mumbled "hmm" twice, but kept taking bites without stopping.
As someone who has been through similar experiences, Su Yingying naturally understands the reasons behind her brother's behavior.
She asked Zhu'er to bring the bowls, filled them one by one, and distributed them to the other three.
"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, you'll know once you try it. Second Brother's mouth is too busy to talk to you."
"Yingying, is this thing you called Oden really that delicious? I'd love to try it."
Madam Su's appetite was also whetted by the two of them. She looked at the food soaked in the soup and elegantly scooped up a piece with a spoon to taste it.
For a moment, the only sounds at the table seemed to fall silent, except for the soft sounds of chewing and drinking soup.
Seeing this, Su Yingying, who had just finished eating, felt hungry again and decided to join in, since she could still fight.
Before long, Su Zirang's bowl was licked clean, and now that his mouth was empty, he started muttering to himself.
"Little sister, tell your brother where you bought this food. How come the soup is so delicious? What did you say it was called, Guan Dongzhu or Guan Dongzhu?"
Unfortunately, fortunes change, and this time no one is willing to stop and talk to him; their mouths are busy too.
Only when the five bowls in front of them were empty, and even the soup broth in the paper bowls had been completely devoured, did the group shift their attention to another area.
"Bubble tea? What's this delicious treat, little sister?" Su Zirang was quick to grab one of the cups and eagerly looked at the label on it.
"This is milk tea! It's made from milk and tea. What's special is that each cup has different toppings, making it both delicious and fun!"
Su Yingying had already had the milk tea trio earlier, so this time she specially chose a cup of the brown sugar pearl milk tea that Sister Bai had drunk before.
She gave the black glutinous rice and red bean flavored drinks to her father and mother respectively, and a cup of taro ball milk tea to her eldest brother, Su Ziqian.
"Next, you'll have to follow me to learn how to insert a straw. You need to insert this straw vertically and forcefully from a certain height, and the movement needs to be quick, like this, 'Ha!'"
Su Yingying recited the straw insertion method she had learned word for word, and this time she did it smoothly in one go.
I took a satisfying sip, and wow! Sister Bai was right, this one really does taste even better!
The first bite is rich in milk flavor and has a silky smooth texture. Each pearl is coated in a thick layer of brown sugar, making it sweet and delightful, a sweetness that goes straight to your heart.
Looking at the other people's first experience with milk tea, each step felt like discovering a new treasure.
The Su family was completely captivated by the rich and flavorful milk tea made with high-quality ingredients; even Grandpa Su, who usually only drank tea, praised it highly.
Seeing that everyone liked it, Su Yingying was also happy.
By the time Chef Liu's dishes arrived, the family's stomachs were already full, leaving little room for him...
However, seeing his daughter finally regain her usual energy at the dinner table, Old Master Su was quite gratified. He settled the bill with Chef Liu as usual, and even gave him an extra tael of silver as a reward.
The Su family members had already finished their meal and were preparing to rest, while Bai Mengran, who had been busy all day, was just beginning her nightlife.
Back at the villa, Bai Mengran immediately went to the bathroom to wash up and also threw her clothes into the washing machine and selected the "gentle mode" to start washing.
After taking a hot shower and finally changing back into her usual cotton pajamas, Bai Mengran felt completely refreshed.
