Chapter 171 - 164 stomach ache
Tian Mantong ordered a lot of dishes, four dishes and one soup, plus cold beer and soda. The beer was for adults, and the soda for children. Now the sodas are in glass bottles, and the restaurant recollects them after drinking; they are priced at fifteen cents per bottle, sour and sweet, very tasty.
Tian Sisi finished one bottle of soda and felt that it was not enough. She ran to the counter to get another bottle, saw a young couple next to her ordered two bowls of ice cream, and realized that they were selling ice cream now. She hurriedly asked for three bowls, fifteen cents a bowl, served in small bowls with a white base and blue rim, very appealing.
Tian Sisi asked the waiter to bring the three bowls of ice cream to her, and returned to her seat with a buoyant mood. She had been craving cold drinks, and this trip to Shanghai, she was determined to indulge herself. It’s just that there are too few varieties of cold drinks now; there are only a few kinds of popsicles, alas, never mind, it’s already good to have something to eat.
"I forgot, I should have ordered ice cream just now. Ah Nan, Xinhua, this must be your first time trying it, right?"
He Xuewen, seeing the ice cream brought by the waiter, suddenly remembered he had forgotten the girls’ favorite treat. Xiulian used to love this.
Tian Mantong also smiled and said, "Strange uncle, how could I forget it? Since Ah Nan likes it, let’s have another bowl."
"Hmm, let me finish this bowl first." Tian Sisi contentedly scooped with a little spoon. The taste was good, although the variety was a bit limited, yet the milky flavor was incredibly rich, filling her mouth with a creamy fragrance.
Chengsi was not having ice cream for the first time. He had been traveling with He Xuewen from north to south since he was young and was quite worldly. Seeing Tian Sisi’s love for cold treats, he said, "Sisi, later I’ll treat you to cream popsicles, they’re really tasty."
