Chapter 148 Milk Tea
Chu Yunchuan was the one who felt most at ease when Bai Zhi didn't go out. Although he was much better than when Bai Zhi was first injured, he still felt that there were dangers everywhere outside and wished that Bai Zhi would stay indoors all the time.
Bai Zhi could still see what Prince Jing was thinking, so when Bai Zhi chatted with Chu Yunchuan about the new storybook, she also added a teasing congratulation: "Don't worry, at least I don't want to go out again before New Year's Eve... I don't know who wrote this storybook, if I walk down the street with you by my side, won't I be surrounded by people?"
Chu Yunchuan took a sip of the hot chicken soup and smiled: "It was my idea."
Bai Zhi: "What?"
"Instead of letting the common people make up stories, I'd rather make up a story myself. I'll come up with the story and ask the storyteller to write it for me." Chu Yunchuan looked up and asked Bai Zhi, as if inviting an appreciation, "How about the story of the withered grass and the kind-hearted passerby?"
"...Yes, that is a very clever and ingenious idea!"
You can't really say something so ridiculous that it's funny. Bai Zhi sighed in her heart - if you want to spoil her, then spoil her to the end.
The knife wound got better day by day, and by the day the vine fruit wine was opened, it didn't even itch, and it felt completely normal again.
Unfortunately, I still have to drink the offal juice.
Bai Zhi couldn't wait to get a bowl of rattan fruit wine to suppress the nausea and vomiting in her stomach...but Chu Yunchuan was always by her side, so she definitely couldn't get the wine secretly.
Then we can only go and get the wine openly under the pretext of "trying a sip to see how it tastes".
Chu Yunchuan seemed to have known what Bai Zhi was thinking. He followed her to the small cellar in the kitchen and scooped out a little wine with a small porcelain spoon before her: "You can only drink this."
Bai Zhi: "..."
Less than she thought.
"You didn't make rattan fruit wine without yeast this year. If you really want to drink it, I'll ask someone to buy two jars." Chu Yunchuan kept his word and was about to call his guards, but Bai Zhi weakly stopped him: "If you don't add yeast, then it's just sugar water, right? If you ask me, everything in Qing County is good, but there are too few delicious ones. I drink sugar water in summer and in winter. After choosing, the only delicious one is wine. It's not like the capital, where there are everything."
She was just complaining casually, not really comparing Qing County with Beijing. Chu Yunchuan took a deep breath, and took the fact that "there is nothing good to drink in Qing County" as a big deal, and immediately asked her: "Do you want to drink grape juice or bayberry juice from Beijing?"
"But neither grapes nor bayberries grow in Qizhou." Bai Zhi scratched her hair, her eyes rolled around, and suddenly clapped her hands, "Yes, how could I forget! Qiansui, in my previous life, a drink called milk tea was very popular."
"Creamy tea?"
"It's not the kind you eat for a meal." Bai Zhi brought up her experience of working in a milk tea shop in her previous life, and described it with great excitement. Chu Yunchuan remembered it after she said it once. He poured the spoonful of wine that Bai Zhi didn't have time to take back into the wine jar, and then took Bai Zhi, who was staring at the wine jar with regret, to the kitchen to make milk tea.
This thing is easy to say but even easier to make. It contains both milk and tea, and you can squeeze in a little chopped vine fruit for sweetness, and a bowl of milk tea is ready.
Bai Zhi took a sip, and the familiar taste made her eyes light up: "It's very similar! It tastes good!"
Chu Yunchuan nitpicked, "Very similar? That means it's still a little different."
"You can't compare them like that." Bai Zhi smiled and said, "In my previous life, we could always meet each other even though we were thousands of miles apart. The road from Qing County to Zhoucheng could be traveled in half an hour, and there was also a kind of iron boat flying in the sky that could fly from Zhoucheng to Beijing in just three hours. The roofs of the buildings were so high that we could dig a hole through the middle of the mountain to pave the road. Everything was different from Dayan, not to mention this small bowl of milk tea."
It was the first time that Chu Yunchuan heard Bai Zhi talk about her past life. He was stunned for a while before saying, "No wonder you said I can't go to the place where you used to live. It turns out to be another world..."
Bai Zhi broke out in a cold sweat.
My lousy mouth!
We agreed to live our lives all over again!
"Even if it is an alien world, it is under the jurisdiction of the King of Hell, right? Otherwise, how did I get here? Any place under the jurisdiction of the King of Hell is not that far away, we are all family." Bai Zhi tried to make excuses, and then raised the bowl to Chu Yunchuan's mouth, "Oh, who cares whether it is an alien world or not, living the present life is the serious matter. Drink it quickly and try your own craftsmanship. If it works, I will ask Zhou Shensi to sell this tomorrow. Wenxianglou has been closed for a few months, it's time to make some money, otherwise Zhou Shensi will eat me alive."
Chu Yunchuan took a sip of milk tea from Bai Zhi's hand, licked his lips and smiled, "It tastes good."
"That's good." Bai Zhi tried to stir some more fruit pulp into the pot, mumbling, "This is a new thing. If we want to start selling it to young people, we need to add some sweetness to it..."
Chu Yunchuan's mind moved, and he suddenly kissed Bai Zhi on the cheek.
No matter how big the wound is, it must heal. No matter how big the obstacle is, it must be overcome. Even if the sky is about to fall, people have to move forward step by step. This is how life is.
It is an unchanging constraint, yet it is also reassuringly stubborn.
"Living is a serious matter." Chu Yunchuan whispered against Bai Zhi's cheek, "Your past life has disappeared like a cloud. I won't explore it anymore."
"That's right!" Bai Zhi smiled, "Reward for you! Let's go, take the pot back to the house and drink slowly!"
At the end of the year, every household in Qing County lit up lights, set off firecrackers, cleaned the house, and ate and drank. The Lin family had a lively New Year. On New Year's Eve, when the sun was shining, many people in Qing County came to the Lin family's house spontaneously to worship their ancestors. Together with King Jing, they worshipped the former king and queen.
Bai Zhi saw Chu Yunchuan's relieved face, and comforted his parents in a very soft voice: "Did you see that the Thirteen States are also prosperous and healthy this year."
To be prosperous, happy and healthy is what the people want most.
According to custom, people should keep vigil all night long, but Bai Zhi had just recovered from a serious injury, so she only kept vigil until midnight and then went back to her room to rest.
Finally, the day came when the wound healed. After midnight, Bai Zhi half-lay on the bed, baring her fangs at Chu Yunchuan in front of her.
As the old saying goes, beauty is a feast to the eyes, and this beauty can finally be imported.
There are thunderous fireworks outside the window, and there is a charming spring atmosphere in the dark night inside the window.
After a stick of incense, the host and the guest changed roles, and Bai Zhi was pestered by Chu Yunchuan until noon the next day. After eating and drinking her fill, Bai Zhi, who had a sore back and waist, really didn't want to move anymore, so she kicked Chu Yunchuan off the bed and went to clean up the house.
The house had been swept and cleaned long ago, so there was nothing to clean up. Chu Yunchuan thought for a moment and finally remembered that it was time to water the jasmine.
However, the pot of jasmine drooping by the window made him feel dizzy.
"Baizhi, this Jasmine, this Jasmine seems to be dying."
"Ah? I just watered it a while ago. I was afraid it would freeze to death in winter, so I warmed the water before watering it."
“…What kind of water?”
"Warm water."
"..."
Later, it took Chu Yunchuan five days to rescue Jasmine, so let’s put it aside for now.
