Chapter 73 Milk Tea Craze! Old Third's Powerful Arm Shakes the Tea, Full of Lovely Foam!
If "school district housing" emptied the savings of wealthy women, then this next thing is simply a dream come true for all the scholars in the city.
Qin's Special Drink - Pearl Milk Tea!
A strange sight has appeared on the streets of Langya Town these past few days.
In the past, when scholars met, they would bow and greet each other, and talk about classical Chinese texts.
Now? Each of them holds an exquisite bamboo cup (engraved with the logo of Wanxiang Academy), and has a specially made reed tube in their mouth. The first thing they say when they meet is: "Brother, have you had your smoke today?"
"I've had to try it! It's so delicious! After finishing this cup of 'Top Scholar Red,' I feel like I can memorize ten policy essays tonight!"
This isn't just drinking tea; it's a fashion statement! You'd be embarrassed to even greet someone if you didn't have a cup of milk tea in your hand!
……
In front of a milk tea shop on the academy's commercial street.
"Line up! Everyone line up for me!"
"Don't push! If you keep pushing, I'll hang you up a tree!"
The shop was packed with people. But everyone's eyes (especially young women and married women) were not on the milk tea, but fixed on the man who was busy behind the counter.
The third son, Qin Meng.
Because it was too hot in the shop, and the work was physically demanding, he took off his shirt and only wore a gray apron.
His bronze skin gleamed under the steam. His pectoral muscles rose and fell with his breath, so full they seemed about to burst. His eight-pack abs were perfectly aligned—the "washboard" that so many men dreamed of!
"One 'Boba Milk Green Tea'! With ice!" "Okay!"
Qin Meng roared and grabbed the shaker (made by the coppersmith by the fourth brother) filled with tea, milk, and ice with his left hand. He focused his energy in his dantian and assumed a horse stance.
"rise--!"
In that instant, the muscles in his arms bulged violently, the veins throbbing like writhing snakes, brimming with explosive power! "Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
That was the sound of ice cubes hitting a copper kettle, so dense it was like a sudden downpour!
His arm moved so fast you could only see a blur! This wasn't just shaking tea leaves; it was clearly a display of what it meant to have an arm as fast as an "electric motor"!
"Wow..." The girls in line blushed and covered their mouths, screaming, "Too...too fast!"
"Third Master has amazing waist strength! If only he could do this in the future..."
"What are you thinking! That's tea being shaken! Although I'd like to be shaken like that too..."
Qin Meng had no idea what kind of lewd thoughts were going through these women's minds.
All he knew was that his sister-in-law had said, "Great shakes work! Shake it a hundred times until it produces a rich, creamy foam; that's when it tastes best!"
"Bang!" He slammed the shaker onto the table. He lifted the lid.
A rich aroma of milk mixed with tea wafts out, with a thick, dense layer of white foam floating on the surface.
"Your milk tea! Here you go!" Qin Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead that had gotten into his eyes, revealing a simple yet wild smile.
"Thank... thank you, Third Master!" The girl took the milk tea, but her fingers accidentally touched Qin Meng's scalding hot hand, and she almost fainted on the spot.
……
The inner room is the material preparation room.
Su Wan is teaching Qin Meng how to cook "pearls" (tapioca balls made from tapioca flour).
"Third brother, it's almost done." Su Wan stirred the shiny, chewy pearls in the pot with a long spoon, then turned to look at Qin Meng, who had just finished his work and came in.
He was covered in sweat, and the apron straps were tightly wrapped around his waist. The contrast between the "stay-at-home dad and beast" was simply amazing.
"Sister-in-law, let me taste it to see if it's cooked." Qin Meng had been craving it for a while. He didn't even take a spoon, and reached directly into the pot to grab some.
"Hot!" Su Wan reacted quickly, slapping his hand with a spoon: "Did you wash your hands? They smell all sweaty!"
She filled a small bowl, inserted a thick reed straw, and handed it to him: "Drink from this. This is a 'straw,' specially used for sucking up pearls."
Qin Meng took the bowl, staring blankly at the thin tube. This thing…how do you use it? He was a rough man; he usually blew into the jar when drinking and gulped down water.
He really doesn't know how to do that kind of girly stuff.
"Take it in your mouth." Su Wan stood on tiptoe and patiently instructed, "Wrap your lips around the opening of the tube and suck gently... Don't bite, just suck."
Qin Meng stared blankly at Su Wan's red lips as they opened and closed.
Suck? How do you suck? Like your sister-in-law... pouting your lips?
He lowered his head and awkwardly put the straw into his mouth. He was too nervous, and the straw was too thin for him.
He subconsciously clenched his teeth.
"Snap—!" The fragile reed tube was flattened by his bite!
"Ouch! Be gentle!" Su Wan exclaimed, both amused and exasperated. "You're drinking milk tea, not eating a straw!"
"I...I don't know how!" Qin Meng was sweating profusely, his face as red as a monkey's bottom: "This hole is too small, I can't suck it up!"
"You're so clumsy." Su Wan shook her head helplessly and inserted a new straw: "Look at me." She leaned closer to him, reached out to hold the straw, and adjusted the angle: "Don't use your teeth, use your tongue to push it in, and then... inhale."
The two were very close.
Su Wan's breath sprayed onto Qin Meng's chin. The faint fragrance emanating from her, mixed with the sweetness of milk tea, went straight to the top of Qin Meng's head.
Qin Meng looked at the pretty face so close to his, at her earnest gaze. His heart instantly shot up to two hundred beats per minute! It was a heartbeat even more rapid than when he was shaking tea!
"Glug." He took a big gulp!
"Pfft—!!!" Tragedy struck.
Because of excessive force, a huge tapioca pearl got stuck in the tube and then shot out instantly! Immediately afterward, a large mouthful of milk tea was sprayed out due to the pressure!
"Ah!" Su Wan exclaimed in surprise.
The pale white collar of her dress was instantly soaked, becoming semi-transparent. It clung tightly to her skin, outlining the shape of her undergarment. Milk tea trickled down her collarbone, flowing into the deep, unfathomable cleavage…
Qin Meng was stunned. The scene before him was so shocking that his mind went completely blank!
"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law! I didn't mean to!" Qin Meng panicked, frantically grabbing a rag from the side (it was for wiping tables!) and trying to shove it at Su Wan: "I... I'll wipe it for you!"
"Don't use that!" Su Wan was so angry she wanted to hit someone, but she felt sticky and uncomfortable all over.
Qin Meng then realized it was a dirty rag. He threw it away, but he didn't have a handkerchief in his hand! In desperation, this big oaf actually stretched out his hand!
That large, calloused hand, still scalding hot from shaking hundreds of cups of milk tea, pressed against Su Wan's soaked collarbone.
*Sizzle*—Rough fingertips grazed her delicate skin. Su Wan shuddered and gasped.
"Third brother..."
"Sister-in-law, don't move, it's flowing..." Qin Meng was now acting entirely on instinct.
His eyes were frighteningly red, his gaze fixed on the milk stain that had trickled down the cleavage. His hand slid down the stain, past the collarbone, and pressed against the undulating edge.
"So...so slippery." Qin Meng's voice was hoarse, as if he had swallowed a handful of sand.
The texture beneath his hands was incredibly soft, like freshly cooked tofu or the finest silk. It was a realm his hands, which only knew how to wield a sledgehammer, had never touched before.
"Sweet."
"Sister-in-law..." He looked up, his eyes filled with undisguised, beast-like desire: "This milk tea... it tastes better on you than in the cup."
Boom—! Su Wan felt like she was about to catch fire! Was this still the same honest and kind third brother?!
This is practically a wild beast whose wolfish nature has been awakened!
"Qin Meng! Shut up!" Su Wan shoved him away, clutching her collar and backing away, her face flushed crimson. "Turn around! Don't look! I'm going to change!"
After saying that, she fled in panic.
That figure looked utterly disheveled.
Qin Meng stood there, looking at his hand. The lingering, intoxicating sensation seemed to remain. He gave a silly, yet possessive smile.
"Hehe... Sister-in-law is sweet."
……
"Tsk tsk tsk." A sarcastic clapping sound came from the doorway.
The fourth brother, Qin Yue, leaned against the doorframe, fanning himself with a folding fan, and stared at the scene for an unknown amount of time. "Third brother, oh third brother."
"He usually seems pretty honest, but I didn't expect... he's quite the schemer!"
"Wet and sexy? It has to be you."
Qin Meng blushed, then reverted to his憨憨 (simple and honest) demeanor, scratching his head: "Fourth brother, I... I really didn't mean to."
"Alright." Qin Yue walked in, glanced at the remaining pearls in the pot, and a golden glint flashed in his eyes: "Since this stuff can make you lose control..."
"Selling it to those scholars would definitely make us a fortune."
With a wave of his fan, he immediately made the decision: "Pass down the order!"
"Limited-time offer on 'Boba Milk Tea'! Only 100 cups available daily!"
Want a drink? Pay extra!
"Also, let's launch the 'Master Qin's Style' shaker cup! Let those scholars go back and shake it themselves!"
