Chapter 477: I’ll Wait and See

Only Lu Sheng had the guts.

After contemplating for a while, Lu Ran hurried forward fearfully to help them.

Unexpectedly, when he approached, they looked at him at the same time, scaring him so much that he stopped immediately.

“Ah... Third Prince, Lord Chu, why don’t you rest first?” he suggested softly.

“Rest for what?”

Lu Sheng walked out of the tea room with the tea leaves and said to Lu Ran, “They just farmed not long ago.”

Lu Ran blinked at her, but she pretended not to see him and carried the tea into the kitchen.

Lu Ran smiled awkwardly at them. “Ah Sheng was just joking. Why don’t you go back and have some tea to relieve the heat? The weather is quite hot.”

“No need.”

They looked at him and continued working.

When Lu Ran saw this, he swallowed his saliva and hurried to pick up the hoe Lu Sheng threw on the ground. He also joined the team.

Lu Sheng took out a bucket of milk and poured half a bucket for backup. She placed the rest back into the space hairpin to keep them fresh.

She took out the tapioca flour and brown sugar. First, she made pearls. After she made the pearls and cooked them, she took out white sugar to stir-fry tea.

When it was almost done, she poured the milk tea in.

“Second Sister, Second Sister, what are you cooking?”

Lu Jiang and Lu Xin walked in with Letong.

Recently, Leya would send Letong here early in the morning for him to play with the two children.

Lu Sheng looked at them and smiled. “I made some delicious food for you to try later.”

“Delicious?”

Lu Jiang leaned over to take a look and frowned. “What’s this? It looks so strange!”

“This is called milk tea. Go and sit first. You’ll know after tasting it.”

“Oh!”

Lu Jiang walked back to the table and sat with Lu Xin and Letong.

Lu Sheng squatted in front of the stove and added wood and stirred. She was extremely busy.

“Alright!”

She put down the spoon and filtered the tea leaves.

Then, she washed a few bowls and scooped some milk tea into them. Then, she placed the pearls in them and served them to the three children.

“Try it quickly and see if it tastes good.”

As there were no straws, she could only get them soup spoons to drink.

Although such a way of drinking was soulless, she had no choice. After all, this was not the modern world.

“Be careful, it’s hot. Remember to blow on it a few more times.”

“Okay!”

The three of them replied in unison.

Lu Jiang scooped up a spoonful impatiently and blew on it before placing it into his mouth.

The novel delicacy made him fall in love with this taste quickly. He chewed on the pearl and did not speak.

However, the speed at which he drank the milk tea next proved that he really liked it.

“How is it? Does it taste good?” Lu Sheng asked with a smile.

“It’s delicious!”

Lu Jiang nodded.

Letong and Lu Xin did not do anything initially. Seeing that Lu Jiang was enjoying it, they also started to try it.

In the end, no one could escape the smell of milk tea.

Seeing that they were drinking happily, Lu Sheng scooped a bowl for herself to try.

It tasted good, but it lacked a soul.

No straw, no ice.

If only there were these two items.

“Little niece, is pearl milk tea ready?”

Shangguan Dian resisted the heat and busied himself for an hour. In the end, he could not stand anymore and ran back.

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. “Alright, I was about to call everyone back for a drink.”

“Give me a bowl to try.”

“Okay.”

Lu Sheng placed the spoon down and scooped half a bowl of milk tea and two spoonfuls of pearls from an empty bowl for him.

“Uncle Demon King, here.”

“Thank you, little niece!”

Shangguan Dian received it impatiently and squatted at the side to drink.

“Yes!”

After taking a sip, he nodded frantically. “It’s delicious. It’s even better than tea.”

Lu Sheng chuckled. “Drink slowly. I’ll call Master and the rest.”

“There’s no need to do so.”

Lu Zhou, Chu Sihan, Lan Yi, and Lu Ran walked in.

After washing their hands, they also drank milk tea.

Lu Sheng brought a small basin and scooped some out. She carried the rest out for the helpers in the field to try.

Everyone had different tastes. Some people liked to drink, but some did not.

For example, Lu Zhou and Chu Sihan. Everyone else drank with relish, but one of them drank water instead and the other put down his spoon and changed to water after tasting a mouthful.

“Lord, doesn’t it taste good?”

Lu Sheng carried her bowl and sat down beside him.

“No, it’s delicious. I’m just not used to this taste.”

As he spoke, he picked up the spoon and drank a few mouthfuls.

Lu Sheng pursed her lips and looked up at him. Seeing him finish the milk tea expressionlessly, she lowered her eyes and giggled.

He clearly did not like it, but forced himself to finish it. She did not know why he did that.

“Lord, you can actually not drink it if you don’t like it.”

Milk tea without ice cubes tasted a little fishy. Those who were not used to it would not be used to it.

“Everything you made was delicious.”

The girl had worked hard to cook. No matter how much he disliked it, he had to finish it.

The first bowl was not his. The second and third bowls were not his. Even the fourth and fifth bowls were not his. It made him uncomfortable.

“Disciple, let’s eat stir-fried river prawns tonight.”

Lu Zhou put down his teacup and spoke faintly.

“Stir-fried river prawns?” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Where?”

“They’re in the nearby river. I walked around casually last night and realized that there were a lot of river prawns there.”

Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up. “Then... Master, you’ll go and get them?”

“I’ll go with your Uncle Shangguan later.”

Lu Sheng was just probing and did not expect Lu Zhou to agree. She did not expect him to say that he would fish for river prawns. This overwhelmed Lu Sheng.

“I’ll go too.”

Lan Yi put down the bowl and spoke faintly.

“Yes.”

Lu Zhou agreed.

“No, go yourself if you want to. Why do you want to bring me along?”

Shangguan Dian frowned and looked at him unhappily.

He had never seen him call him so enthusiastically when there was good news.

“It’s alright if you don’t want to go.”

When Shangguan Dian heard that, his expression softened. However, Lu Zhou’s next words made his expression darken.

Lu Zhou smiled faintly and said, “If you’re not going, don’t eat them later.”

Hence, after lunch, Shangguan Dian eagerly carried the bucket and followed Lu Zhou out.

Lu Sheng, who was standing at the door and watching them, could not help but chuckle.

“This is for you.”

Chu Sihan took a fan out of nowhere and passed it to Lu Sheng.

Then, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Lu Sheng let him wipe her forehead, but her gaze landed on the fan in his hand.

On the fan was a girl wearing a bamboo hat, wiping her sweat while holding a hoe.

Wasn’t this appearance and expression her?

She blinked and asked in surprise, “Lord drew it himself?”

“Yes.” Chu Sihan nodded. “Do you like it?”

“Yes.”

Lu Sheng smiled and kept the fan. She looked at him and smiled. “Tomorrow, I’ll draw one for the Lord too.”

“Oh?”

Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows slightly. “Then... I’ll wait and see.”
