Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Binglan had already added the milk to the pot at that moment. She then said, “Su Chun, you can start the fire. Su Ju, juice the fruits with that wooden juicer but leave a portion of the diced fruits.

“After that, add sugar to the juice and put the mixture into the mold. Once that’s done, add the diced fruit into the mold.’

“Understood, Master.” Su Chun and Su Ju were excited to help.

After Su Chun started the fire, Su Binglan placed the glutinous rice flour and rock sugar into the pot and stirred it.

“I’ll boil this for a while and then simmer it. Later, we’ll let it cool down and then put it into an ice mold to freeze it.”

The      Manor even had a cold storage cellar. Su Binglan had asked someone to make it, and it was just right to store the ice cream.

“You can eat them once they’ve frozen over.”

Su Chun and Su Ju looked at the two things, wondering what they would taste like. Still, they knew it would be delicious because their master made it.

‘So, these will turn into ice cream.’

Su Binglan said, “There are several flavors of ice cream, but I’ll make these two first. I can open an ice cream shop next time.”

Fortunately, Lan Ruozhu had already arranged for people to build many factories near the capital. After building these factories, Su Binglan could mass produce her products.

“You can only eat ice cream after it’s frozen, but they should be ready before we go to bed. I made plenty, so everyone in the manor can try some. Next, we’ll make milk tea.’

Su Binglan smiled when she thought about drinking milk tea later. She first prepared the ingredients and then added brown sugar and warm water to a big bowl. She then added a suitable amount of sweet potato starch and mixed everything.

When adding the starch, she stirred it slowly. She used chopsticks to stir the starch into the mixture and then kneaded it into a smooth dough using her hands.

Su Binglan told Su Ju, “Observe these steps. I’ll leave the milk tea shop to you.”

Su Ju was in high spirits when she heard that. Her eyes widened as she observed every step. “Of course, Master.”

Su Binglan explained every step in detail as she worked. ‘All right, prepare a clean plate.”

“Yes, Master.”

When Su Ju brought the plate over, Su Binglan sprinkled some sweet potato powder on it. Then, she took a little dough and kneaded it into a ball before putting it onto the plate.

“Just do it like this and make the dough into small balls.”

After that, Su Binglan boiled a pot of water and placed the dough balls into it. Soon after, she removed and soaked them in cold water. She could then prepare the milk tea.

She poured a suitable amount of pure milk into the pot and then added black tea with white sugar, saying, “Use a small fire and simmer the mixture. Don’t forget to keep stirring.”

“It smells so good!” Su Chun exclaimed. It smelled different from food, but it was rich and sweet-smelling.

Su Ju also took in the fragrance, thinking, ‘No wonder everyone’s envious of

Su Chun for always being by Master’s side. Su Chun can eat unique foods from time to time and even watch the cooking process.’

Su Binglan smiled, saying, “It does smell good, doesn’t it?”

She missed the taste of milk tea.

“Now, wait until the color of the pot turns red, and then remove the black tea bag. Then, scoop the milk tea into a cup and add the balls we just made. Those are the pearls for the milk tea.

“It’s still a little hot now, so drink it when it cools down. You can chill it a little if you want to. Let’s keep these for now and chill the rest. We’ll remove them later for everyone to try.”

Su Chun and Su Ju did as their master said. Afterward, they sat beside the milk tea bottle and waited for its contents to cool down before drinking it. Su Binglan smiled as she looked at the duo.

A while later, Su Binglan took the milk tea from the ice water and said, “All right, you can drink it now. Call the butler and the housekeepers to get the rest. Everyone has one bottle.”

Su Chun got up and went to inform the butler of Su Binglan’s request. Soon after, Butler Zhou rushed over with the housekeepers. They were moved when they found out that Su Binglan had made drinks for everyone. They were shocked when they smelled and drank the milk tea.

“l never knew such a thing existed.”

“The milk tea and juice taste different, but they’re both good.”

“Ah, it’s nice to drink this on such a hot day. It’s so refreshing.”

“It’s sweet and fragrant. It’s also different from fruit juice.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Everyone drank their milk tea with excitement. Su Chun and Su Ju barely spoke as they drank half of theirs. However, they stopped when they realized they had only half left.

Su Binglan sighed in relief after drinking hers. She then looked outside and asked, “Why isn’t Jin’an home yet?”

“The general is still in the military camp. He sent us a message, telling Her Highness to eat without waiting for him. I’ve already asked the kitchen to prepare the meal.”

Su Binglan waved. “I’m not hungry after drinking this. Let’s wait for Jin’an to get back before eating.”

She had grown accustomed to eating with her husband. She would not have an appetite if he were not around. She even left some milk tea for Luo Jin’an.

Su Binglan noticed everyone enjoying the drinks and thought she should organize the people in the manor to make milk tea together. Then, she could open a milk tea shop.

She also wanted to make more milk tea and ice cream to send to her family in Su Teng Village. Since Su Wenwu had made a box for convenient storage, she could store the two items inside for a few days without melting.

Soon after, Su Binglan went to the study to design a shop. As she was drawing, she heard footsteps outside. Strangely enough, she recognized them as her husband’s.

She raised her head and met Luo Jin’an’s gaze. At that moment, the moonlight shined on him, stunning Su Binglan. She rubbed her eyes and softly said, “You’re back.”

Luo Jin’an felt relaxed immediately after seeing his wife. “Yeah, I’m back. Butler Zhou told me you haven’t had dinner yet.”

Su Binglan nodded. “I wanted to wait for you so we could eat together. Oh, I made some milk tea. Try some.”

She passed the milk tea on the desk to her husband, along with a spoon..
