Season One: Slake your thirst with gege’s milkies
HC: We’ve been walking all night.
XL: Here, take this.
HC: Gege, you should wear it.
XL: Okay, then I’ll share my 果粒 x 「 M I L K I E S 」 with San Lang.
HC: Gege, you should drink it.
XL: I’ll have half, and you can have half.
HC: Thank you, gege.
Guoli/果粒 is a type of probiotic yogurt drink that has fruit pulp in it. It’s advertised as a “health drink,” though all that sugar negates any effect the bacteria would have on your digestive system.
Season One: Slake your hunger with gege’s tender peach
XL: Luxuriant is the peach tree, and voluptuous its fruit. [Quoting from the Shijing/Book of Songs.]
HC: Gege, do you like peaches, too?
XL: Of course.
HC: Gege, try this.
HC: Comes packed with real fruit jelly and 39% more protein.
XL: Thank you, San Lang.
HC: As long as gege likes it.
The slogan in these two ads references the “ci fu” part of Tian Guan Ci Fu’s title:
满满白桃果粒，赐福皆是心意 / Full of white peaches, all blessings are from my heart
Season Two: Tweedledee and Tweedledum crash the party
XL: San Lang, what are you…?
HC: It’s been getting warmer, and gege has been working hard.
HC: I made some sour plum soup.
HC: It’s tangy and refreshing, perfect for hydrating and cooling down.
HC: Gege, have a taste?
XL: Of course!
NF: Halt!
NF: This man is suspicious!
NF: I’ll volunteer to try the drink first!
FY: It’s just some sour plum soup.
FY: Is it gonna make you ascend to heaven?
XL: This flavor…
XL: It’s the same as my favorite summer drink in the palace.
XL: San Lang, how did you…?
HC: As long as gege wants it, we’ll be here any time.
This is a different type of drink than the first two. It’s got osmanthus flower in it, which is associated with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in turn is associated with reunions and nostalgia.
If I had a nickel every time an old man with a giant dumptruck talked about remembering things thanks to a drink with osmanthus in it…
Season Two: Hua Cheng chugs vinegar, then some other drink
HC: Not enough.
Maid #1: Why have Chengzhu’s tastes changed today?
Maid #1: All these sour things…
HC: It’s not right. It’s still not enough.
HC: I’ve only ever wanted…
HC: …That one.
HC: Your Highness!
HC: This sweet and sour flavor…
HC: Gege, you’re home.
XL: San Lang, I’m home.
That was not the first time that Yin Yu accidentally got locked in the room while hualian got it on, and would not be the last.
