Chapter 157 Cold Drinks and Ice Cream

After the food tasting ended, everyone was still eager for more.

"Miss Tian, ​​when will these dishes be served?" Li Huaiyuan asked.

He will report the data on the high-yield rice varieties to the Yunzhou Prefecture government today. At that time, the prefect will definitely send someone, or even come in person.

He had already planned to invite people from the government office to have dinner at the Fulai Restaurant.

Tian Tian already had plans: "Three days later."

Tomorrow I'll arrange the vegetable picking, and the day after tomorrow I'll go train the cooks...

Once the new dishes are served, she still needs to arrange things at the workshop.

In addition, I need to find some time to research and develop a few ice cream products and drinks...

Busy, so very busy!!

But these are not problems.

Her biggest problem right now is... there's still no definite answer from Baiwei Restaurant.

The brokerage manager had contacted the Chang family several times, but each time he was turned away by the Chang family, who said they wouldn't sell.

However...

Once Fu Lai Restaurant serves this batch of new dishes...

Can Baiwei Restaurant hold on?

If they don't sell then, they'll only lose money. They shouldn't be that stupid, right?

*

The potato dish hasn't officially hit the market yet, but its reputation has already spread.

Especially the guests who dined at Fulai Restaurant during the food tasting that day, they spoke of the potatoes' deliciousness in almost mythical terms...

As a result, on the day Fu Lai Restaurant launched its new dishes, a huge crowd gathered outside the restaurant...

Even the Baishi Teahouse is deserted.

"Sweetie, aren't you going to check on the restaurant's business?" Lu Tao asked.

"What are you doing..."

Tian Tian is busy making iced drinks and frozen desserts.

She bought a commercial ice maker from the system for one tael of silver, which could produce seventy kilograms of ice per day.

Ice cubes are added directly to the teahouse's existing drinks, making it a cold drink.

She also bought a commercial yogurt maker for only 300 yuan, which can ferment milk into yogurt.

What she is currently trying out is red bean shaved ice.

Soak red beans in water and cook until soft. Filter the mixture through a fine muslin cloth to remove the bean skins, leaving you with a smooth red bean paste.

Add boiled and sterilized milk and fermented yogurt to red bean paste and stir into a paste-like semi-finished product.

Then, these semi-finished products are placed into molds and put into the refrigerator.

To make the frozen desserts look more appealing.

Tian Tian simply bought some ancient-style molds directly from the system.

They come in shapes resembling ancient buildings, flowers, and small animals.

Several hours later, Tian Tian called Tian Xiang, Qin Youyou, Chu Qian, and Chu Yao over.

Take the mold out of the freezer, let it sit for a while, and then you can take out the frozen treats directly from it.

The ice cream is served in a small dish...

"Wow!!"

"Wow!!"

"Wow!!"

This immediately elicited a chorus of exclamations.

"Sweetie, what's this?"

"Second sister, what is this?"

"Auntie, what is this?"

"Ya ...

"Try it," Tian Tian said, handing each of them a spoon.

In her time, people ate ice cream with popsicles, but in this era... that's not quite right.

So she deliberately didn't freeze it for too long, and even prepared a spoon.

With a gentle scoop of the spoon, a piece of the frozen treat was cut open.

Red bean shaved ice, with whole red beans inside, is refreshing and thirst-quenching, and very satisfying.

"So delicious." Chu Qian smacked his lips and quickly finished the whole little rabbit.

Then he stared longingly at the little flower in Qin Youyou's bowl.

Qin Youyou was going to give it to him...

"Youyou," Tian Tian quickly called out to her, "Don't spoil him."

"This stuff is cold; if he eats too much, he'll get an upset stomach."

"Eat it yourself."

Qin Youyou shrugged at Chu Qian.

She absolutely obeys her second sister, so...

Chu Qian pursed his lips helplessly, looking at the few remaining red stains in the bowl.

He silently picked up a spoon and tried to scoop up the water stains, which looked absolutely hilarious.

Tian Tian scooped up a little bit of the shaved ice with a spoon and brought it to Chu Yao's lips.

The little girl stuck out her tongue and licked it, her features squishing together from the cold, but soon, the sweetness of the red bean shaved ice made her unable to resist taking a second lick.

"Giggle..." The little girl smiled happily and reached out to grab the spoon from Tian Tian's hand.

"I want...oh..."

Tian Tian avoided her, and the little girl was so anxious that she was about to speak up.

Chu Yao is only a little over a year old, just at the age when she is learning to speak.

"I want... Auntie..." she blurted out in her eagerness.

Tian Tian was so surprised that her eyes widened.

"Big sister, did you hear that?"

Tian Xiang didn't hear that.

She came to Chu Yao's side with a hint of annoyance and ruffled her little head, "You little rascal, you haven't even called me 'Mom' yet, but you're already calling me 'Auntie'."

She couldn't resist tempting Chu Yao, "Yao'er, come, call me Mother..."

"Calling for Mother..."

She went back to get her own ice cream, which was a peony flower, and took only one bite.

Tian Xiang scooped up a small piece and brought it to Chu Yao's lips, coaxing, "Yao'er, call me 'Mother,' and I'll give you some."

Chu Yao stretched out her little hand with all her might, "Auntie..."

"Not auntie, it's mother, mother..."

Tian Xiang tried to coax Chu Yao for a while, but all Chu Yao could do was call her "Auntie"...

Disappointed, she helplessly lowered her hand.

Chu Yao panicked when she saw this.

"Mother...Auntie, I want..."

Tian Xiang's eyes lit up, "Mother... Yao'er called for her mother."

She held the spoon out to Chu Yao, who licked her lips and was delighted to taste the sweet and icy flavor.

"mother..."

Having received a benefit, she began to speak frequently, "Mother..."

"Haha." Tian Xiang laughed heartily, scooping up more and more ice cream with her spoon.

"Big sister!" Tian Tian had to wake her up in time, "Yao'er can't eat so much ice."

Tian Xiang stuck out her tongue; she was overjoyed.

She gave Chu Yao the last lick and then carefully put the spoon away.

"Sweetie, this frozen dessert tastes amazing! Are you planning to add it to your menu?"

Since Tian Sweet Desserts has started making frozen products, they definitely need to introduce new items.

Not only will Baishi Teahouse be introducing new products, but Fulai Restaurant will also be adding some new cold drinks.

After all, we've launched so many new products. It would be a shame if there weren't many customers because of the hot weather.

Coping with the summer of this era...

Tian Tian didn't just prepare cold drinks and ice cream; she also wanted to install air conditioning in Baishi Teahouse and Fulai Restaurant.

Fulai Restaurant is easy to install; they haven't installed solar panels or power banks there.

However, at Baishi Teahouse... the roof is already covered with solar panels, and the electricity generated is used for refrigerators.

Today we installed an ice maker and a yogurt maker...

If you want to install more air conditioners, you'll need to add solar panels.

Before adding solar panels... we need to solve the problem of where to install them...

The rooftops of Baishi Teahouse and the shop next door were full, and Tian Tian hadn't come up with a good solution yet.
