"It sounds like a very beautiful fairy tale, but why do I want to believe it!" Jiang Hua and Lin Zeng sat in the reception room on the first floor of her small villa, on the large low table that she had made herself, and some delicious snacks were placed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Zeng likes to sit at the low table in this hospitality room, whether he is cross-legged or stretched out freely, without restraint. If you are more casual, you can also lie on the soft carpet with your hands on your head and look at the beautiful scenery outside the window.

If the carpet grass is replaced with the vitality grass, it will be even better.

"It doesn't feel like you're suspicious. Lin Zeng was extremely quick to accept Jiang Hua, and he didn't know what to say.

"There's no use in skeptical, is there? It's easy to verify, just do what you say. The truth is clear at a glance, so why should I be tired of making more guesses. It's better to simply believe it. Jiang Hua shrugged, took out a jar of red jam in a transparent glass bottle from the shelf, scooped a spoonful, put it into a small blue plate, and pushed it in front of Lin Zeng, "Taste it, the strawberry seedlings you gave me last time were transplanted by me in the bedroom, and they have borne a lot, and when I come back every week, I can see a wall of strawberries, and they are not broken." Ripe strawberries are perfect for jam. It's the best strawberry jam I've ever made. ”

This is one of the reasons why I am very comfortable with Jiang Hua. She respects everyone's privacy and personal space. Even though she was curious about these plants, she never asked where they came from.

He took a small biscuit, dipped it in the plate of strawberry jam in front of him, and put it in his mouth to chew.

The crispy biscuits and the sweet strawberry jam are a perfect match. Lin Zeng fell in love with this snack in an instant.

The thick sauce, after a long time of boiling, loses the freshness of the raw fruit, but has a more lubricated taste in the mouth, and the sticky feeling brought by the pectin that has been boiled makes the taste buds have a very pleasant experience.

"There's one thing I've been thinking about, though. Jiang Hua held his chin in one hand and picked up a piece of fried pumpkin pie on the table with the other, his face full of thoughts.

"What's the problem?" A small plate of strawberry jam was quickly dipped by Lin Zeng, and he took it himself, took the strawberry jam on the table, and added a few spoonfuls. He is very familiar with Jiang Hua, and when he does such a thing, he is not abrupt at all.

"I'm thinking deeply, you said milk fruit plant. Like having a plant-based cow at home?"

"It's like. Lin Zeng nodded, in the world of the alien space he knew, different breeders all used milk fruit as the original plant to refine all kinds of milk fruit derivative plants, and the residents of the alien world all planted milk fruit as a family plant milk source according to their own financial resources and preferences.

"Then I'm wondering, can the milk produced by this milk fruit be used in the preparation of various foods like milk?" Jiang Hua said this, his expression was very excited, "Actually, I have always wanted to raise a milk-producing animal, a cow or a dairy goat on the farm. But except for the winter and summer vacations, I can't manage it all day, so I can only give up this idea. However, this kind of milk fruit is simply a complete replacement for the existence of dairy cows. I wonder if it can be made into processed products like yogurt and cheese like milk. ”

Lin Zeng felt that Jiang Hua's associative ability was completely close to eating, and he never deviated from the track.

Lin Zeng had never considered this direction before.

Looking at Jiang Hua's full of interest and eagerness to try.

Lin once confirmed that he was still far away from an orthodox foodie.

Of course, he can learn to work in this direction.

"How many days will it take me to harvest my first milk?"

"Two to three days. ”

"Well, the first fruit, I decided to taste it first. Can it really be turned into my favorite drink?"

"It's said to be fine. "Lin Zeng hasn't tasted it himself.

"Second, I'll try making yogurt. Jiang Hua took out a notebook with a brown paper cover from under the low table, and then began to record.

"That's a good idea. Lin Zeng agreed, his knowledge in this area is still quite lacking, "But can you make yogurt yourself?"

"No problem, I have a yogurt fermenter and cultures, and I can do it in a day. I'll taste it first, and you'll share the delicious food. "It sounds like Jiang Hua hasn't tossed these things less before. "And then what else can you do? Milk buns, milk bread, and try milk pudding. ”

"The nougat was also delicious. Lin Zeng added his favorite food to it.

"Oh yes, nougat, make nougat from marshmallows, it's easy, I'll be able to do it. Jiang Hua wrote and painted, "The bread is very simple, I have a bread maker, I also have an oven, and nougat can be used in a non-stick pan...... Actually, simple mango mille-feuille, oh, yes, cream, a very important ingredient for baking, cream, I don't know if this milk can make cream!"

Lin Zeng listened to Jiang Hua's fragmented thoughts, and finally knew why her kitchen was designed with such a large space. There were machines he hadn't heard of before.

Hearing Jiang Hua mention cream, Lin Zeng asked curiously, "Do you know how to make cream?"

"I'll only make cream with whipping cream, and with milk, I don't know. Still, wait, I'll call and ask someone. It seems that it is a pity for handicraft enthusiasts to not be able to make cream by themselves, Jiang Hua frowned, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and made a call.

There was a long ringing and the phone was connected. Jiang Hua adjusted the volume of the call very much, so Lin Zeng could also hear the other party's voice.

It was the voice of a slightly immature boy.

"Hey, little brother Dai, I want to ask you something, do you know how to make cream from pure milk?"

"Rub, painting sister, what kind of whimsy do you have, make cream, use pure milk, it's very troublesome, you want to eat cream, just buy whipping cream directly, don't expect to use pure milk to do it." Modern processes for whipping cream require special centrifugal machines for oil separation. ”

"Isn't it a hassle? Okay, don't you think it's cool to help me understand and make your own cream? Maybe you won't have to buy the cream from the store in the future, just come to me." ”

"Forget it, Sister Painting, I don't count on you. By the way, I have freshly baked banana muffins now, would you like to buy some?" The words of this boy, known as Dai Xiaodi, had a fatal attraction to Jiang Hua.

She didn't hesitate and quickly responded.

"Okay, give me half. By the way, bring me three packs of white toast and whole wheat toast each, and I have fresh strawberry jam for breakfast tomorrow. ”

"Okay! Wow, there's strawberry jam, share a can with me, I haven't seen the connection in your online store, it must be a good thing, you are reluctant to sell it, I'll go over immediately, don't eat it alone, leave me some." The boy on the other end of the conversation was quickly hung up by Jiang Hua for a long time.

Jiang Hua rolled his eyes speechlessly, and explained to Lin Zeng: "Brother Dai is a private baker, selling his own handmade bread through the Internet, his bread skills are very, very good, and the raw materials are carefully selected, except for the price is a little more expensive, there are almost no shortcomings, which is very reassuring." ”

"Private baker?" Lin Zeng heard about this profession for the first time, pondered it carefully, and probably understood the model of this profession, "It's like online private dishes now." ”

"That's right. ”

Jiang Hua and Lin Zeng hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they chatted about simple topics. Jiang Hua asked about the purpose of the milk fruit, and she was very interested in continuing to carve the milk fruit furniture, so she asked for a few milk fruits from Lin Zeng and helped him carve them for free.

Lin Zeng naturally wouldn't let her do day jobs.

Lin Zeng also asked her about the reason why the farm built a fence and changed the environment.

Jiang Hua smiled helplessly and said: "Before the wall was built, many nearby villagers walked in with a big grin and picked the tomatoes and melons and fruits planted at will. Not only that, but it also broke my moon bush. Occasionally, it's just that, but they are getting more and more rampant, and a while ago, they lost three boxes of bees. So I gritted my teeth and decided to build a wall. ”

When Lin Zeng heard Jiang Hua's description, he didn't know what to think of, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sneer, and said: "People's hearts are insufficient, and they are greedy by nature, and they can't wait to squeeze all the flesh out of people's bodies." ”

Jiang Hua was slightly stunned, sensing that Lin Zeng's mood was not quite right, and she was about to say something, when the "bang" of the iron door of the farm interrupted her words.

"Sister Painting, open the door, open the door, open the door quickly, it's me!" (To be continued.) )
