Mu Wuchen withdrew his hands with a little regret, turned around and went to the basin to wash his hands.

When Gu Xiaoyou heard the sound of water coming from the kitchen, he shuddered and came back to his senses.

The guy who loves working so much is not the Mu Wuchen she knows.

He stretched out his hand and patted his face a few times, cheered up, and looked at Mu Wuchen who was washing his hands again.

His sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing his long, slender hands. He gently soaked his hands in the basin, picked up the soap locust on the basin stand, rubbed it on his hands a few times, worked out lather, and then rinsed it with water.

clean.

After finishing a whole set of actions, he shook his two big hands above the basin a few times, then picked up a towel and wiped off the water drops on his hands.

Gu Xiaoyou blinked a few times. This guy even washed his hands so gracefully, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

He was staring in the direction of Mu Wuchen in a daze when he was awakened by a cold voice.

"looking at what?"

At some point, Mu Wuchen walked back to her side, and Gu Xiaoyou came back to his senses: "It's nothing, ah, I should take the balls."

With that said, he hurriedly picked up the porcelain plate and walked towards the stove.

Just when I was about to throw it into the pot, I remembered that I hadn't lighted the stove yet, so I hurriedly put down the plate and lit it with a fire stick.

The stove that usually lights up at the drop of a hat seems disobedient and won't light up no matter what.

"Oh, what's going on?" Gu Xiaoyou stamped his feet anxiously.

A big hand took the fire folding piece from her hand and lit the straw paper. Mu Wuchen threw the straw paper into the stove, fiddled with it a few times with the stove hook, fanned the cattail leaf lightly a few times, and the fire started.

It's burning.

"Wow, how do you know how to light the stove?" Gu Xiaoyou asked in surprise.

Doesn't he even know how to wash the dishes?

"Just lighting a fire." Mu Wuchen replied lightly.

"Awesome." Gu Xiaoyou gave a thumbs up and shook it, then turned around to get the plate.

By now she had calmed down and remembered the correct steps for making pearls. She shook the plate so that the glutinous rice balls on the plate were evenly coated with glutinous rice flour.

This will prevent the glutinous rice balls from sticking.

After shaking the meatballs, the water in the pot started to bubble, so Gu Xiaoyou poured the glutinous rice balls into the pot.

During the cooking process, use a slotted spoon to stir the meatballs in the pot from time to time to prevent the meatballs from sticking to the pot.

In about a cup of tea, the small glutinous rice balls are cooked and turned into glutinous rice pearl balls.

Gu Xiaoyou quickly passed the cooked glutinous rice pearl balls through ice water twice to make them more elastic.

Put the glutinous rice and pearl balls into a tall cylindrical cup and put it one-third of the way up the cup. There was still more than half of the pearls left, so Gu Xiaoyou filled another cup, but with a little selfishness, he filled half a cup of pearls.

Then put the remaining meatballs into a tub filled with ice cubes, cover them with a quilt, and refrigerate them.

He took two more long-handled spoons and put them into the cups. Gu Xiaoyou returned to the lobby with the two cups.

Putting the cup on the table, Gu Xiaoyou used a towel to pick up the hot copper kettle from the pottery stove and poured it into the cup.

What poured out of the copper pot was milky red liquid, and Mu Wuchen smelled the familiar aroma of milk tea.

It turned out that the kettle contained milk tea.

Presumably the same goes for the earthenware stove and copper kettle placed in the breakfast shop. They can not only keep warm, but also keep the air moist, and you can have a sip of hot tea at any time.

Thinking of Gu Xiaoyou's ingenuity, Mu Wuchen smiled softly, and he really did not misjudge the person.

Stirring the cup with a long-handled spoon a few times, Gu Xiaoyou called out: "Come and try the fresh pearl milk tea."

"Yeah." Mu Wuchen responded and sat down opposite Gu Xiaoyou.

After he sat down, Gu Xiaoyou handed the milk tea to Mu Wuchen. She raised the cup and touched it gently to his cup: "Cheers."

With a chuckle, Mu Wuchen touched back: "Cheers."

Bring the cup to your lips and take a sip of milk tea.

The milk tea still has a smooth and smooth taste, but it has a hint of waxy aroma compared to the last time I drank it, which must be the taste of pearls.

While Mu Wuchen was savoring it carefully, Gu Xiaoyou had already taken two large sips of milk tea. Half of the milk tea in the cup was consumed in an instant. The warm milk tea entered his stomach and instantly warmed his hands and feet.

"Comfortable." Gu Xiaoyou praised, picked up a long-handled spoon, stirred it in the cup, and scooped out a spoonful of pearls.

The glutinous rice pearl balls are chewy and chewy when you bite them. Although they are not as good as the authentic pearl balls made from tapioca flour, they still taste good.

Gu Xiaoyou scooped up the pearl balls in the cup and ate them happily.

When she was in school, her favorite thing was to eat pearls in pearl milk tea. She would even add more pearls for extra money, and sometimes she would be half full just by eating pearls.

Later, various new milk teas came on the market, including milk tea, coconut milk tea, and cream milk tea. Gu Xiaoyou didn't like any of them, but she liked the original milk tea with pearls.

After finally eating the pearl that she had been longing for, Gu Xiaoyou showed a satisfied expression.

She ate enthusiastically, her face bulging as she chewed the pearl balls in the cup, completely forgetting about Mu Wuchen across from her.

Seeing how delicious she was eating, Mu Wuchen couldn't help but be curious about the taste of pearls.

He picked up a long-handled spoon and took a spoonful. Looking at the dark pearls on the spoon, Mu Wuchen hesitated for a moment before putting it in his mouth.

As soon as the pearl meatballs enter your mouth, you will be impressed by their chewy texture. They are chewy and chewy, with a faint scent of milk tea, which makes eating them very enjoyable.

Scooping a spoonful of pearl balls and a sip of fragrant milk tea, listening to the drizzle outside the window, Mu Wuchen suddenly relaxed a little from the tension caused by official duties in recent days.

Both body and mind were relaxed.

After taking another sip of milk tea, Mu Wuchen's expression softened a bit.

Gu Xiaoyou opposite also enjoyed the rare comfort. Ever since she got the list, she had been spinning her wheels for half a month, and the matter of opening a new store had slowed down.

Although the business on the rainy day was a bit slow, the spirit was relaxed, which is not a bad thing.

After eating the last spoonful of pearl balls, Gu Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief.

He slowly drank a sip of hot milk tea, leaned back lazily on the chair, and looked at the rainy scene outside the window with his eyes half-closed. Gu Xiaoyou didn't even want to lift his fingers, and sat lazily on the chair.

It was rare that Mu Wuchen didn't educate her. If it weren't for the ethics, he would have just sat there like Gu Xiaoyou.

Maintaining the last bit of rationality, Mu Wuchen drank the milk tea in the cup and wiped his mouth slowly.

Hearing the sound of Mu Wuchen putting down the cup, Gu Xiaoyou lazily raised her eyes and glanced at him: "When I take a break, I will teach you how to read a watch."

"No rush." ​​Mu Wuchen said lightly, put down the tissue, and sat on the chair with an upright posture.
