The aroma of cooking filled the house: I sent my eldest brother to become the Grand Secretary.

Each grain of rice is distinct, and the glossy, oily rice evenly coats the egg.

The shovel in Shen Cao's hand seemed to come alive, flipping back and forth.

In just a few moments, it adds an unparalleled aroma to ordinary rice.

When the rice was almost cooked, Shen Cao grabbed a large handful of chopped scallions.

The fried rice, originally white with a golden hue, looks even more appealing with the addition of green.

Even the original aroma has been enhanced with the scent of scallions.

Whether you look at it or smell it, you can smell how delicious the fried rice is.

Wei Siyu was already stunned by Shen Cao's actions. "I never thought that rice could be fried like this."

"Cao'er, I know your sizzling fried rice is going to be delicious even before I've tasted it."

After saying that, he handed the plate forward a little, "Sister Cao'er, give me some, I want to taste it."

Shen Cao used a spatula to scoop some fried rice into his plate.

Seeing this, Wanyue handed over her plate with both hands.

Shen Cao also scooped some fried rice into her plate.

The two looked at the fried rice on the plate in front of them, with golden eggs, white rice, and green scallions evenly wrapped together.

Take a breath, and you'll smell a faint aroma of eggs, scallions, and a hint of lard.

I scooped up a spoonful and put it in my mouth. The moment it entered my mouth, I could taste the wonderful aroma of the wok, the fragrance of the egg, the rice, and the scallions, all blended together to create an incredibly delicious flavor.

I couldn't stop eating it, this simple fried rice was even more delicious than meat.

The rice in their plates was quickly emptied.

Wanyue ate too quickly and choked a little.

"Burp!" She burped.

"belch!!"

Wei Siyu walked out silently and came back with a glass of water in her hand.

"Look at you, you can even choke on fried rice, and nobody's going to take it from you."

"Drink some water quickly."

Wanyue felt much better after drinking the water. "Sister Cao'er, the food you made tonight was delicious, but it was a bit too dry."

"It would be nice to have something to drink."

After Shen Cao finished cooking the fried rice, he heard Wan Yue say those words.

She suddenly remembered that she had gone to the market that morning and found milk for sale, so she bought a bucket and planned to cook it for her younger siblings.

Upon hearing Wanyue's words, she recalled a drink that everyone, regardless of age or gender, loved in her past life: bubble tea.

“Perfect timing. I got a bucket of milk today. Since Wanyue said so, I’ll make you a drink to try.”

The mention of milk gave Wanyue a headache, as her mother used to force her to drink milk every time she was in the palace.

She found the taste of milk somewhat unpalatable.

She felt she couldn't describe the taste; it always seemed strange to her.

She was somewhat disappointed; she wished she hadn't said anything.

Then Shen Cao went to the main room and brought out the Pu'er tea that Shen Yu'an and the others had brought from the capital.

She broke off a small plate of tea leaves and divided them into two portions.

Add one portion to hot water to make tea.

I found a slightly deeper pot, poured the tea leaves into it, and then added an appropriate amount of white sugar.

Wanyue and Li Xiaoyu stood by watching with great curiosity, while Wei Siyu secretly ran to the meat and egg burger area, took another meat and egg burger, and ate it while watching this side with great interest.

The sugar in the pot began to melt as it was heated, and soon it started to change color.

Shen Cao kept stirring the tea leaves with chopsticks. As Shen Cao continued to stir, smoke began to rise from the pot, and the white sugar began to expand.

The light yellow color deepens until it turns a burnt yellow.

At this moment, Shen Cao added a small cup of cold water to the pot.

Then I added half a pot of milk and simmered it over low heat.

"okay!"

"Is that all?" Wanyue thought it was so simple. Could it even taste good?

"Alright, simple and delicious." The milk in this era is of better quality than the milk in her previous life, and it is very rich. When she scooped it out, she could feel the milk sticking to the side of the spoon.

When the milk boiled, Shen Cao felt it was a bit too thick, so she added some water and continued to boil it.

The milk, which was originally milky white, turned caramel-colored, becoming the color of milk tea that was common in my previous life.

However, Wanyue and Li Xiaoyu had never seen milk tea before and did not know what milk tea color was. They only knew that the milk, which was white just now, turned brown after being boiled, and it looked more tempting than white.

Shen Cao boiled some pure milk, and after the milk cooled, a thick layer of milk skin formed on the surface of the milk.

Sure enough, this additive-free milk was much richer than the milk in my previous life, and even the milk skin was thicker.

She used her chopsticks to lift the skin off the surface of the milk and handed it to Wanyue, "Want to try some?"

Wanyue thought of the taste of milk and waved her hand.

She then handed it to Li Xiaoyu, who took a bite. It had a rich milky flavor and a texture she had never experienced before—soft and smooth.

Wei Siyu had originally wanted to try some, but when she saw Shen Cao put the last bit of milk skin into her mouth, she looked disappointed.

"Oh dear, I forgot, Wei Siyu is still here, and you haven't said a word."

"Drink more later."

Shen Cao took out a small jar with a lid from the warehouse. Since she didn't have the shaker cup from her previous life, she could only try a substitute first.

Add an appropriate amount of tea and milk to the jar and put the lid on.

He handed it to Wei Siyu.

Wei Siyu was puzzled and was about to open the lid to drink when she heard Shen Cao say, "Shake it."

Oh! So it wasn't for me to drink.

He had no choice but to obediently start shaking.

"Harder!"

He started shaking it vigorously.

After shaking for about three minutes, Shen Cao was satisfied and told him to stop. In the middle of the shaking, Shen Cao even added some white sugar.

Open the lid and pour out another type of milk tea made by fully blending milk and tea from the jar.

He poured a glass for everyone present.

The color was a bit lighter than when it was first cooked, but because Wei Siyu was quite strong, it was mixed very evenly.

Shen Cao was the first to take a bite.

Hmm, it has that feeling from my past life.

It tastes good.

If you have cream, it would be even better to add another layer of cream on top.

The other three all took a sip, and the aroma of the tea perfectly balanced the richness of the milk; the flavors of the tea and the milk were fully blended.

The tea has a milky flavor and a subtle sweetness, making it much tastier than just drinking milk.

Wanyue's eyes lit up; she never expected that the milk she hated could taste so good.

The strange smell was completely gone, and the tea aroma had a faint milky scent.

She quickly finished the milk tea in her cup.

"It's delicious, I want more."

"Sister Grass, what's the name of this drink?"

"milk tea."

"That's quite appropriate."

"I'll make some tapioca pearls for you to add tomorrow when I have time; it'll taste even better."

Shen Cao gave Wan Yue a look.

Wanyue looked at Wei Siyu pitifully, "Brother Siyu, I want to drink more."

That means, could you please shake me another drink?

Wei Siyu was so confused by being called "Brother Siyu" that she didn't hear Wanyue's words at all and just nodded blankly.
