Searching his memory for the method, he added a spoonful of white sugar and half a spoonful of black tea to the pot, stir-frying them together.
He continued to stir-fry until the sugar turned golden brown and foamed, thoroughly releasing the aroma of the black tea. Then, he poured in boiling water and let it steep for two minutes.
Finally, came the step that caused a qualitative change: pouring in milk, allowing the creamy fragrance to fully blend with the delicate aroma of the black tea!
The milk boiled, the tea leaves were strained out, and a handful of taro balls were added as a garnish. A cup of caramel taro milk tea, overflowing with a milky aroma, was finally complete!
"Wow, what kind of milk is this? How can it have such a magical fragrance?"
The moment Feng Yi finished, Xiangling also returned from her hunt.
Xiangling looked at the fragrant milk tea in the pot, her lips licking with excitement, clearly very interested.
"Want to try some?!"
"Yes, yes!"
Under Xiangling's watchful gaze, Feng Yi divided the milk tea into four portions, with everyone present getting a share.
"A successful first try, I really do have the potential to be a God of Cooking!"
Feng Yi fantasized with a straight face.
"This magical flavor is actually made from those unremarkable ingredients! It's incredible!"
Master Mao couldn't help but sigh. Why had he never thought of this before?
"It's so delicious! To be able to develop such a sweet treat, Feng Yi, you're truly a genius!"
Xiangling's exclamations were continuous, but they didn't hinder the speed at which she devoured it.
Who would have thought that the seemingly weakest Xiangling would be the first warrior to achieve the "foodie kill"!
The first batch of caramel milk tea was not much to begin with, and it was further divided into four portions, with each person receiving less than half a bowl.
Xiangling finished hers in two gulps and still felt unsatisfied, her gaze involuntarily falling on Guoba's portion.
At this moment, Guoba was holding his bowl, taking sips from time to time, enjoying the beauty of the sunlight, completely unaware that someone was eyeing his milk tea.
"Guoba, you're so short, you definitely don't like drinking this, so let me solve it for you!"
Xiangling, taking advantage of Guoba's moment of distraction, snatched his milk tea and gulped it down in two large swallows.
Guoba: Abba abba
"No need to thank me!"
Xiangling didn't forget to give Guoba an appreciative look.
"Heart-wrenching!"
"Guoba is so pathetic, don't always bully him! As long as the ingredients are all here, there's plenty of caramel milk tea!"
Feng Yi found the sulking Guoba, who looked like a child who had his toy snatched away, incredibly amusing!
Feng Yi: "Guoba, you are a God of Geo! How can a god cry because they can't have sweets?"
Guoba: Abba abba
Feng Yi: "What? You're saying the Electro Archon is like that too? Then it's fine! You can continue crying!"
As Xiangling was attempting to develop fried ice cream slime, Feng Yi also got down to business with Master Mao.
"Master Mao, look, Wanmin Restaurant has main dishes, side dishes, and cold dishes. If we could add a dessert, it would be perfect!"
"Little Brother Feng Yi, what do you mean?"
Master Mao's heart stirred. He could roughly guess Feng Yi's idea.
"We can cooperate and authorize Wanmin Restaurant to sell caramel milk tea, as well as other desserts that might be introduced later, with profit sharing..."
Feng Yi knew that the recipe for caramel milk tea was not complicated. Experienced chefs could figure out most of it with a little research.
To increase his bargaining power, he used the development of future desserts as bait.
Feng Yi didn't ask for much, only hoping to get twenty to thirty percent of the profits to solve his basic needs, after all, he was only providing a recipe.
"Of course, no problem! Wanmin Restaurant will not let you down! How about a profit split of three to seven?"
Master Mao pondered for a moment before speaking. Inclusivity was the core philosophy of Wanmin Restaurant, and creating dishes that satisfied customers was their pursuit.
The caramel milk tea provided by Feng Yi would undoubtedly satisfy more customers' palates.
In the culinary world, recipes were of utmost importance and had very limited circulation, usually passed down through master-disciple relationships or blood ties.
For a chef to improve, they either had to be pioneering and develop new dishes.
Or they had to purchase other recipes at a high price to gain broad knowledge.
This was also why Master Mao was confident that Xiangling could revolutionize Liyue's culinary scene, as he saw in Xiangling a spirit of relentless progress and unwavering determination!
Feng Yi was willing to provide the recipe, and Master Mao felt that taking seventy percent of the profits was reasonable!
"A three-seven split? I can accept that!"
Feng Yi's eyes lit up when he heard Master Mao was willing to give him thirty percent of the profits. This was a huge win!
After all, he wouldn't have to do anything and would have thirty percent of the Mora income. Where could he find such a good deal? wap.kanshuwu.net
Of course, this was because Feng Yi was not from the culinary world and didn't understand the unwritten rules!
"Feng Yi, what are you guys talking about? Come try this fried ice cream slime!"
As Feng Yi and Master Mao's discussion neared its end, Xiangling brought out a plate of freshly fried slimes.
"Taste test! Amazing!"
Feng Yi was surprised by Xiangling's terrifying talent. He had only provided a general concept, and who would have thought Xiangling would actually make it!
The golden crispy shell, paired with the cold, sweet, molten center, was an absolute delight!
The perfect fusion of ice and fire, a wondrous duet of textures, left him speechless.
"This ice cream slime is almost perfect. Xiangling, you truly live up to your name! Can you make another one? I want others to experience your exquisite culinary skills!"
"Heh heh, of course!"
Xiangling blushed a little at Feng Yi's praise, completely unaware that she had now become Feng Yi's free labor.
Feng Yi licked his lips, full and satisfied, and carrying the packed lunch boxes of fried ice cream slime and caramel milk tea, he headed towards the Jade Chamber.
Meanwhile, in the study of the Jade Chamber.
"Lady Ningguang, you didn't go back to rest last night?"
Ganyu woke up to find herself sleeping in the study. She clearly remembered yesterday...
"Could Feng Yi have brought her back?"
"I promised to show my friend around properly, and I accidentally fell asleep!"
"This is so rude!"
As Ganyu got up, she noticed that Ningguang was already seated at the desk, handling the work she was supposed to do today.
Ningguang yawned repeatedly, clearly having not rested all night.
"Oh! Little Ganyu is finally awake? You were carried back by someone last night and slept like a log, couldn't be woken up no matter what."
Ningguang found it amusing to tease Ganyu with Feng Yi's name, always making Ganyu blush furiously.
"Lady Ningguang, please, stop talking!"
The soft and cute Ganyu was no match for Ningguang. Losing the rhythm of the conversation, she could only raise her hands in surrender.
"This kind of deep sleep is uncommon. Let big sister check if there are any problems with your body!"
Ningguang put down the report in her hand and walked towards Ganyu. Disregarding Ganyu's protests, she extended her mischievous hands.
"Lady Ningguang, no!"
The girls' playful banter filled the room with bright spring light!
"Ahem, did I come at an inconvenient time?!"
Feng Yi entered the room and immediately witnessed such a stimulating scene, his gaze fixed with righteous intensity.
Feng Yi: "Is this something I can see without paying?!"
