Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog

Su Yan sighed comfortably, thinking that it was better to drink something cold in the summer.

I took a few more sips and felt that it was boring to drink cold water like that.

Thinking about the cold drinks like oolong tea, lemon tea and fruit tea that are sold all over the streets in summer, Su Yan felt a little greedy.

Now because the weather is too hot and Grandmother He suffers from summer heat, Su Yan's classes have been temporarily suspended. She plans to go back to study after some time in the summer.

However, Grandmother He also said that Su Yan had a high talent for reading. In less than two months, Su Yan had already recognized more than a thousand words in the Three Character Classic.

This made Grandmother He feel that she valued her talent, and she planned to continue teaching her "Thousand Character Classic" after the summer was over.

This time the main purpose was not to teach her how to read, but to teach her the allusions in writing. This was much more difficult than simply learning to read, but Su Yan was very interested in these.

Su Yan didn't think she was talented. After all, she was not starting from scratch without any basics. The content of modern studies had little to do with ancient books.

But a lot of knowledge is interchangeable, especially modern Chinese and history, which are available from elementary school to university.

The most important thing she lacked was literacy.

However, Grandmother He was willing to continue teaching her, and she was willing to learn. It was always a good thing to learn more, and ancient books and poems all had a kind of beauty, like landscape paintings depicted on rice paper, full of slow-paced artistic conception. Su Yan liked it very much.

But these are things that happened after the summer. Su Yan is currently at home with nothing to do during the summer vacation.

So even though I can do whatever I want, I have enough time to do whatever I want.

More importantly, no one objected.

He An is a qualified gourmet. Whenever she cooks food or drinks, he will be the first to praise her with actions.

This also gave Su Yan the confidence and motivation to come up with new things from time to time.

Thinking about making an ice drink, Su Yan thought about what he would need.

Fruits: There are still many fruits in season, such as summer oranges, pomegranates, hawthorns, melons, lychees, and watermelons.

Summer oranges, hawthorns and pomegranates are okay. They are grown locally and the prices are reasonable.

Although winter melons are also grown locally, due to their small quantity, one costs about 100 to 200 wen, which is a price that is barely acceptable.

The rest were brought in from other places by merchants and were very expensive.

Although it can’t be said that she can’t afford it, Su Yan doesn’t particularly like to eat those things, so there is no need to buy them.

After comparing these fruits in his mind, Su Yan decided to make fresh orange juice.

Su Yan picked some fresh and plump summer oranges from the market. Since there were no lemons at that time, she had to use bayberries to season the food.

Come back and scrub the epidermis with salt and then rinse with clean water.

Then put it into a bamboo basket and hang it into the well. There is no ice, so this method can only be used to cool it slightly.

During this time, she prepared the syrup using honey, sugar and sugar cubes.

Then take out the bamboo tube and rolling pin at home and wash them clean.

After all these were prepared, she went to the well, pulled up the bamboo basket, and touched the oranges. They were a little cool, but not too much.

But without ice, that's the only effect it has.

Place the orange on a cutting board, cut off both ends, and then cut it in half down the middle.

Use a spoon to take out the pulp and put it into a bamboo tube. When you feel the amount is enough, use a rolling pin to gently mash the pulp.

Add the prepared syrup and pour in the freshly drawn, relatively cool well water.

Close the lid, shake it back and forth evenly, finally take out the bayberries, squeeze out a few drops of juice for seasoning, and a simple glass of freshly squeezed orange juice is ready.

Su Yan couldn't wait to take a bite. It was icy cool, with the sweetness of fresh orange and a hint of sour and sweet bayberry.

She sighed, it feels so comfortable!

This is how summer should be spent.

Su Yan pulled a chair under the jujube tree and drank orange juice in small sips while enjoying the shade.

Cool! ! !

"What are you drinking?"

Just as Su Yan was squinting his eyes and enjoying it, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Su Yan was startled and couldn't catch her breath, so she started coughing.

This frightened He An. He quickly came over and patted Su Yan's back to help her breathe. "Are you scared?"

Only then did Su Yan remember that after she made the orange juice, she was only concerned about drinking it herself and forgot about He An.

She sighed with a guilty conscience and rolled her eyes slyly, "I made orange juice and was just tasting it!"

Without waiting for He An to speak, he handed the bamboo tube to He An's mouth and said, "It tastes really good, try it."

He An took a sip subconsciously. It had a very strange taste, something he had never tasted before.

But it was surprisingly delicious and cold and thirst-quenching.

He couldn't help but take another big sip. The cool air went down his esophagus into his body, and he felt much cooler.

I wanted to drink more, but found that it was gone.

The bamboo tube was not big to begin with, and Su Yan had already drunk most of it, so there wasn't much left.

So He An took two sips and the bottle was almost empty.

Su Yan took back the bamboo tube and looked at it. "It's gone? Is it delicious?"

He An: "It tastes good. Did you make it?"

Su Yan: "Yeah, it's too hot, so I made this to cool down. How is it, does it make you feel cooler after drinking it?"

He An nodded.

Su Yan was very happy to receive the affirmation and decided to do more.

When it’s ready, I’ll give it to Grandma He to try.

There was no bamboo tube left, so Su Yan asked He An to find the teapot at home and prepare to fill it with orange juice later.

She followed the same steps and made several more portions, then poured them into the teapot.

Freshly squeezed orange juice tastes better, and Su Yan didn’t make much.

He An was going to stay at home to watch the store, so he left one portion for him to drink.

Su Yan took the teapot and strolled to the old house to taste it with Grandmother He.

When they arrived at the place, Su Yan explained the purpose of their visit. Grandmother He happily instructed the maid to pour out some and send it to Grandfather He.

The rest of the time, Su Yan and I slowly savored the drink in the pavilion, chatting with each other about our recent lives while drinking.

Grandma He is old and can’t drink too many cold drinks.

Later, Su Yan drank orange juice while she drank tea.

The two chatted about many other things under the sun, and an afternoon passed by.

Seeing that it was getting late, Grandmother He didn't let Su Yan go back. She called the maid and asked her to call He An so that the family could have dinner together.

It is not as hot in the evening as in the daytime, but it is not so hot that you cannot eat.

He An had a good appetite. Just looking at the people eating with big mouthfuls made him hungry, and he led the other three to eat more as well.

After dinner, Su Yan and He An said goodbye and went back.

The next day, Su Yan thought about her new friends whom she hadn't seen for a few days.

So I made orange juice again and went to play with her.

Su Yan had been to Zhao Wan's house several times, so he arrived at the place with ease.

It was probably Zhao Wan who gave instructions. After knocking on the door, the gatekeeper led them directly to Zhao Wan's yard.

Zhao Wan was doing needlework alone. She was surprised to see Su Yan coming. She immediately put down her things and led her into the house.
