A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

Chapter 88 Researching New Products

After finalizing the cooperation agreement with Yunxianglou, the two followed Xin Moling back to the General's Mansion. With the basic materials in hand, the next step was shop decoration. After cleaning the rouge shop in the next couple of days, they would go there to properly design the interior design.

The top floor of Yunxiang Tower —

"Master, Hua Buyu has left with the princess and the others."

"Ah."

He still wore the silver phoenix mask on his face, and his dark eyes shimmered slightly. He simply propped his head up with one hand, leaning lazily against the chaise longue, without making any extra movements.

"Master, Hua Buyu has asked Manager Chen to discuss something with you."

"Hmph! Discuss? She doesn't need to discuss things with me."

He immediately snorted coldly. He had clearly told her not to provoke Xin Moyan, but now she had gone and stayed at her house.

Fei'e was also helpless. After all, Hua Buyu and her master were both teacher and friend, not just master and servant. Moreover, only if her courage was tied up and constantly hanging over her head would she dare to be so arrogant and unrestrained.

After a moment, he said calmly, "What is it?"

"She said there was a kind of extremely sour fruit, so sour that it was impossible to eat. Yuanqi had never seen it before, but she seemed to have a memory of it and asked Manager Chen to ask you if you remembered it."

"Extremely sour fruits? Why do you ask?"

Fei'e quickly explained, "Hua Buyu and the princess seem to be opening some kind of shop, which is said to be about milk and fruit drinks. They just discussed with Manager Chen that Yunxianglou will order all the ingredients they need from now on and pay them a certain amount of trouble fee."

"Open a shop?"

"Yes! They spent an hour in the kitchen this afternoon!"

The kitchen? He suddenly remembered that Xin Moyan had asked him if he could borrow ingredients from the kitchen. He had found it strange at the time, but now he understood.

"Didn't Hua Buyu specify what kind of fruit it was?"

"Uh...no, but I heard from Manager Chen that the princess mentioned lemons a couple of times. I wonder what lemons are?"

He suddenly sat up from the couch, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he were recalling something.

I remember the first time I saw Hua Buyu, she was lying on the ground, wearing only a white dress. The snow-white dress was stained with blood and was filthy. She was also disheveled, and her facial features were completely obscured except for her eyes.

He didn't want to pay any attention to Hua Buyu and was about to leave when she suddenly grabbed his thigh. She raised her blood-stained face and gave him a lewd smile, shamelessly saying that she would repay him with her body if he helped her. Well... he kicked her away.

Then came her usual trick: she cried so hard that the world seemed to darken and the sun and moon lost their light. Coincidentally, just as he was at a stalemate with Hua Buyu, the Nightfall Assassins suddenly appeared. Left with no other choice, he had to drag Hua Buyu to the Fallen God Mountain.

Then she developed a high fever halfway through, talking nonsense and losing consciousness. Fortunately, he had some medicine with him, which gradually brought her back to normal. Little did he know that she would become attached to him from then on.

Her experiences were indeed tragic. Although she had a wild and unrestrained personality, her life was much more interesting. Not to mention, her ideas and insights were so unique that her business in various countries was able to develop rapidly.

Once in Qiyun, Feng Qingyang excitedly took two slightly ugly fruits, saying that he had found them by chance in a village. The villagers said they were lemon seeds, which have many effects such as aiding digestion, quenching thirst, relieving phlegm and cough, and removing odors.

Hua Buyu took the lemon and bit it, her expression instantly contorting. She mumbled incoherently, "So it's lemon!" He and Feng Qingyang hadn't heard her clearly at the time and mistakenly thought she was talking about Li Meng. Now that he thought about it, Li Mengzi was probably also called lemon!

His thoughts gradually returned, and he instructed Fei E, "Go contact Feng Qingyang and have him send a batch of lemons to Yuanqi, the more the better."

Fei'e was a little confused for a moment, then asked, "Master, wasn't Young Master Feng borrowed to rescue someone?"

"Hmph! While you're at it, write that letter to that guy, telling him to return to Yuanqi if he doesn't die, and give Feng Qingyang back."

"Yes!"

And so, the lemon issue was resolved satisfactorily...

Two days passed in a row, and Xin Moyan was not idle either. She took a lot of ingredients from the kitchen of Yunxianglou that day, and she and Hua Buyu were busy researching new products these two days!

The General's Mansion Back Garden

Two stone tables were set with various utensils. One table had small condiments such as milk, red beans, taro paste, three-color taro balls, and brown sugar pearls, as well as various fruits such as mango, grapes, peaches, and oranges, and various teas such as Jinzhi Oolong, Youtan Guanyin, rose Pu'er, and Chenpu black tea.

On the other table were various seasonings, such as osmanthus fragrance, jasmine fragrance, gardenia fragrance, maltose, honey, rock sugar, and a modified version of icing sugar, as well as bamboo tubes cut into sections and thin bamboo straws cut to the same length, all emphasizing a pure, natural, and non-irritating flavor.

"Yan Yan, look!"

Hua Buyu led Cailian as they jogged along the corridor, each carrying several small pots, spatulas, chopsticks, and spoons.

"Buyu, all the materials here are ready!"

"Okay, I had Qingque build a small stove out of stones in the yard. We'll make milk tea first, and then adjust the flavor later."

The two women, along with Cai Lian, rolled up their sleeves and got to work. First, they lit a fire under the small stove, keeping the heat to a minimum. They then melted some rock sugar in the pot until it turned caramel color. Next, they put the Chenpu black tea they had chosen into the pot, which they initially decided would be the base for the milk tea. They gently stir-fried it for a while, then added some water and simmered it. Once the water boiled, they added milk, and soon the aroma of milk tea filled the air.

"Miss, milk and tea can be made like this?"

Cailian stared intently at the two of them as they worked, knowing that milk was not something she could enjoy.

She scooped three cups into a bamboo tube with a spoon, added some maltose and brown sugar pearls, and inserted a green bamboo straw.

"Yan Yan, I think it tastes pretty good!"

Cailian took a sip, her face filled with disbelief. What kind of divine drink was this? It was so sweet and had a delicate tea aroma. It was so delicious!

Xin Moyan also took a big sip of milk tea, chewing on the tapioca pearls thoughtfully. The taste was similar to what she used to make at home. However, if she were to expand production, it would be quite troublesome to stir-fry the sugar and tea. Moreover, it seemed that milk tea shops prepared the tea and milk tea in advance.

"Silent, we can produce milk tea in large quantities in advance and keep it warm in wooden barrels, so we won't have to keep frying sugar and tea!"

“Yes, yes! That’s what I was thinking too, Yan Yan. Let’s brew the milk and other types of tea first. Once we’ve figured out all the flavors, we can record the preparation methods, mass production, and brand marketing.”

"it is good!"

The three chatted while drinking milk tea, and after a short rest, they started brewing tea again...
