Clorinde slowly took a sip under the gaze of Furina and Alex.
Then, the three paused, with Furina and Alex waiting expectantly.
Clorinde was savoring the taste of the drink.
"Hmm…" Clorinde began her evaluation: "Delicious! It's sweet and sour, with the refreshing aroma of black tea. The mouthfeel of the drink is much better than just plain black tea. I think it would be very suitable for everyone to drink as a beverage."
"Wow~" Furina's eyes sparkled beside him, then he turned to look at Alex: "I want some too, I want some too!"
By the time Furina turned to ask Alex for a cup, a slurping Clorinde had already finished more than half of his medium-sized lemon tea.
"Alright, Clorinde was the first to try the lemon tea, so I'll give you, Fufu, the first lemonade," Alex agreed, then specifically gave Furina an extra-large cup.
After all, Alex considered that Furina is the Hydro Archon, so he should drink more water, and besides, an extra-large cup is more satisfying.
Alex sliced three lemons and placed them into the extra-large cup, then asked Furina: "How much sweetness do you want?"
"Hmm… add more sugar, please," Furina thought about the sourness of the lemon and then said.
"Alright, a full-sugar cup!" Alex said, adding three pieces of maple syrup.
Each piece of this maple syrup wasn't that big; Alex designed it so one piece was half sugar, two pieces were normal, and three pieces were full sugar.
If a customer wanted to add another piece, it could be added directly on the spot. And no sugar was even better! The cost was reduced again.
Just as he was about to control the little Clorinde to spray water, Furina quickly spoke up: "Ah, um, wait, turn it into my appearance before you spray the water."
Clorinde was right here, and he felt embarrassed to drink "his" saliva.
"Eh?" Alex looked at his Combat Skill and suddenly thought of another big selling point.
He could customize his Combat Skill skins at will.
"Give it to me first." Alex took his Combat Skill summon back from Clorinde's hand.
Actually, there was one more thing he hadn't tried yet... Before that, Alex first transformed the little Clorinde into a little Furina. He held it with both hands, filling the extra-large cup with water, then added five or six ice cubes.
After covering the cup, Alex held the bottom of the cup with his right hand, and through the transparent cup body, he could see the water inside swirling.
Indeed, Alex had skipped the step of mashing the lemon; if this step was omitted, the lemon juice would not blend quickly, which would greatly affect the taste.
Fortunately, Alex was a Vision holder of the Hydro element; not only was the water source automatically taken care of, but even the stirring work was effortless.
Controlling the water flow to continuously hit the lemon slices in the cup, it only took a few seconds for the swirling water to stop. lemon pulp floated throughout the entire cup.
"Clang~" Accompanied by the sound of water and ice colliding, Alex handed the prepared lemonade to Furina.
Furina took a straw himself, inserted it into the reserved straw hole in the middle of the cup lid. He picked up the cup and took a big sip.
Furina's body suddenly moved, and his hair and the large ahoge on his head both swayed twice.
Furina opened his mouth, golden starlight continuously flashing in his eyes. Then, his heterochromatic eyes returned to their normal teardrop shape.
Sip, sip, sip! Furina drank vigorously, and the lemonade in the cup rapidly decreased at a visible speed. Before long, the sound of "tsksktsk~" of sucking air could be heard.
"Burp~" Furina leaned back on the sofa contentedly, full of lingering taste.
It wasn't until a while later that Furina formally looked at Alex and said: "Delicious, delicious! So, so delicious!"
Furina gave a straightforward and very satisfied evaluation.
Clorinde beside him also couldn't help but feel curious, wanting to experience the taste of lemonade without tea, wondering if it would be even more delicious?
Alex understood Clorinde's intention and said to Clorinde: "Is the sweetness of this drink suitable? I'll make you another cup of lemonade."
"Okay, thank you," Clorinde nodded.
He also prepared a medium-sized, normal-sugar lemonade for Clorinde. It wasn't that he wouldn't give him an extra-large cup, but mainly he had already finished a medium-sized lemon tea, so another extra-large lemonade would probably be too much for him to drink.
This time, the little Furina Combat Skill did not change its appearance; it directly used the water it sprayed.
However, Clorinde didn't mind; he directly inserted the straw and started drinking.
Clorinde also gulped down a cup in one go, finally making a "tsk tsk" sound of sucking air.
"I want to try the lemon tea again~" Furina looked at Clorinde; he hadn't tried the lemon tea yet.
The brewed tea was almost ready, so Alex poured out some from the black tea pot. He then made Furina a medium-sized, full-sugar lemon tea.
"Hmm…" Furina slowly drank the lemon tea. Although the lemon tea also tasted good, after comparing them, Furina still preferred the lemonade: "It's also very delicious, but I still prefer the lemonade."
"What does Clorinde think?" Alex then turned to ask Clorinde.
"Hmm, I also think lemonade tastes better," Clorinde paused for a moment before stating his preference.
"Is that so? Both ladies prefer lemonade. Then I'll focus on making lemonade, which is good because the cost is even lower. These teas are quite expensive; wholesale, they cost over a hundred thousand Mora per jin," Alex said.
Seeing Alex put away the prepared tea pots one by one, or rather, into his backpack, Furina suddenly thought of something.
"Oh, right! Quickly take out your strawberries and make us two cups of strawberry juice!!! I almost forgot about this!" Furina said, growing excited towards the end. He had only eaten strawberry shortcakes; he hadn't tasted a drink made from strawberries yet.
With that, Furina placed a red and pink strawberry shortcake in front of each of the three on the table.
On top of the strawberry shortcakes, some heart-shaped fruit pieces were sliced and stuck on, with some also along the edges.
"Alright," Alex took out two large strawberries.
Because the strawberries were too large, only extra-large cups could be used.
He put in the strawberries, added some water, and a few ice cubes. Since the strawberries were already very sweet, no extra sugar was needed.
Finally, with the lids on both cups, Alex held the bottoms of the two cups with both hands, and the water inside began to swirl.
At this moment, Alex was a human blender.
Not long after, two cups of all-natural, harmless strawberry juice, containing ninety percent strawberry pulp, were made!
"Ta-da~" Alex handed them to the two ladies, Furina and Clorinde.
The two simultaneously picked them up and started drinking. About ten seconds later, Furina finished first, with Clorinde following close behind.
Thus, in the hearts of Furina and Clorinde, lemonade was no longer the top drink.
Now! strawberry juice firmly held the undisputed first place!
