Chapter 18: Ginger Milk (Part )

Yun raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Wan'er!"

The servants beside the two men were suddenly at a loss.

Su Liuyue suddenly stepped forward and said with a faint smile: "Aunt, do you have ginger in the kitchen?"

The atmosphere was obviously tense, but Su Liuyue suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the current situation. Not to mention the others, even Xue Lingwan looked at Su Liuyue in confusion.

Yun was stunned for a while before nodding and saying, "Of course there is..."

"What about milk? Is there any?"

Yun nodded again. "Ever since Yike became pregnant, I have asked people to buy some milk every day. Liuyue, why are you..."

Su Liuyue smiled. "If there are too many people in the room, the ventilation will be poor, which is not good for my cousin's wife. I won't go in for the time being. It just so happens that I know a dessert that can improve the symptoms of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women. Didn't my aunt say that my cousin's wife has no appetite recently? Why don't I try to make this dessert for my cousin's wife and see if she is willing to eat it."

Yun was even more stunned, vaguely a little dumbfounded, "Liu Yue, you... you can actually make desserts?!"

She had never heard of this before!

Xue Lingwan frowned, as if she was about to say something, but Su Liuyue glanced at her and said before her: "I studied it a bit when I was bored at home. My cousin seems to be quite free, so why don't you come with me to the kitchen?"

Xue Lingwan: “???”

Why is she idle? Is this woman mocking her?!

Seeing Xue Lingwan's unfriendly expression, Su Liuyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said in a slightly cold voice: "Cousin, aren't you worried that I will do something to my cousin's wife? Since you are so worried, why not come and see it yourself.

Or is it that my cousin is just saying that, but actually trusts me in her heart?"

Who would trust such a heartless and arrogant person like her!
Xue Lingwan was provoked and gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I'll go with you and see what kind of dessert you can make! Just don't harm my sister-in-law!"

After saying that, he quickly walked forward and headed towards the kitchen.

Su Liuyue gave Yun, who was looking worried, a soothing look, then slowly followed Xue Lingwan with Ersi and Er'an.

On the way, Er Si and Er An couldn't help but whispered, "Girl, you... you are not joking, are you? You... you really know how to make desserts?"

Su Liuyue smiled faintly, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Coincidentally, the original owner's mother had a sweet tooth, and so did she. In her previous life, her greatest hobby was to study all kinds of desserts and pastries in her spare time. For this, she was often laughed at by the monkeys in the police station. They said who would have thought that the boss who could scare the most vicious criminals actually liked sweets like other little girls in private.

However, despite the ridicule, her body was very honest. Whenever she brought the desserts she made to the police station, they would be sold out.

Ersi and Eran immediately looked as if they had seen a ghost.

The Xue family's house was not big. After walking a few steps, they arrived at the kitchen. Xue Lingwan was already standing by the stove, waiting for her with a unfriendly look on her face.

Su Liuyue didn't even look at her. After asking Xue Lingwan's maid to find the things she needed, she commanded the people around her in a familiar manner, "Ersi, go and light the fire. Er'an, come with me and give me a hand."

Then, she peeled and chopped the prepared ginger with such skillful movements. Who would believe that she had never been in the kitchen before?

After chopping the ginger, Su Liuyue picked up a piece of clean gauze and wrapped the minced ginger inside. She called back Er'an's attention, who looked stunned, and asked her to bring two clean bowls. Su Liuyue squeezed the minced ginger in the gauze with all her might. Soon, drops of yellow ginger juice oozed out of the gauze, and a spicy ginger smell floated in the air.

Xue Lingwan frowned as she watched. What on earth was this woman trying to do? Who in the world would make desserts like this? !
The others also looked at Su Liuyue with confusion and curiosity, but seeing how seriously she was squeezing, they did not dare to speak.

When the ginger juice was almost ready, Su Liuyue said, "Ersi, prepare to boil the milk."

In ancient times, there were no small pots specifically for boiling milk. Su Liuyue searched for a long time but only found a teapot that was usually used to boil tea, so she had to make do with it.

After washing her hands, Su Liuyue poured the fresh milk into the teapot, added appropriate amount of sugar, and boiled it.

He then directed Ersi to bring the two bowls of ginger juice. After taking the milk off the stove, he counted to forty seconds in his mind, and then quickly and carefully poured the milk from a high place into the two bowls.

After doing all this, she put the teapot down, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, just pick it up and wait for a while."

"This...is this the end?!"

Xue Lingwan's shrill voice suddenly rang out, "Isn't this just ordinary boiled milk? It's just a little ginger and sugar added, what's the big deal?! My mother would have someone boil a bowl of milk for my sister-in-law every night, but she has never been able to drink it. It's a wonder that my sister-in-law is willing to drink this stuff of yours!"

Previously, Ersi and Er'an could still tolerate the second Miss Xue. After all, their daughter did have... ahem, a bad attitude towards the Xue family.

But she keeps doing this again and again, even the Bodhisattva is getting angry!
Seeing Er Si raised her eyebrows and was about to say something, Su Liuyue waved her hand at her and said with a smile: "Did I say that this is ordinary boiled milk?"

"Do you need to tell me? I have eyes and I can see for myself!"

"Oh, what if, in the end, it turns out that this is not just ordinary boiled milk?"

Su Liuyue said slowly, "Cousin, do you want to kowtow to me and apologize?"

"you……"

Xue Lingwan opened her eyes, and finally couldn't help but sneered, "Okay, so you were waiting here! Okay, I'll make a bet with you, but if I find out that you're doing anything, don't blame me for being rude!"

Su Liuyue did not comment, just smiled faintly and said nothing.

For the next moment, Xue Lingwan stared at the two bowls of milk in front of her without blinking. She just couldn't believe it. What else could it be but boiled milk? This guy must have wanted to secretly change the bowl of boiled milk while she wasn't paying attention to humiliate her!

She won't let her succeed!
Su Liuyue was too lazy to pay attention to her. He just let her stare at him and went for a walk in the yard.

She has made ginger milk countless times. To be on the safe side, she usually lets it sit for ten minutes.

Unfortunately, there were no time-telling instruments in ancient times that could accurately tell time to the minute and second, so people could only calculate the time silently in their minds.

Back then, her mother loved the ginger milk she made the most. She wondered how sad her mother would be when she learned that she had died in the line of duty.

After Su Liuyue came here, she has been trying hard to adapt to the life here. Except when she is lying in bed alone at night, she tries her best not to think about her past life.

However, at this moment, when making this familiar dessert again, Su Liuyue's heart couldn't help but shrink, unable to hold back the deep longing and feelings of separation that quietly spread in her heart.
