Chapter 073: Chocolate Dream [Ask for the First Order]
Qin Fei was not very good at socializing, so he made an excuse and left the table to go home. Flash Dance
Walking alone in Yunjiang County at night, blowing the wind, thinking about nothing in my head, I feel much more comfortable.
As soon as I entered the house, the system ding-dong: "Congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement, a chef who doesn't know martial arts is not a good poet, get a chance to draw a lottery, do you want to use it?"
Qin Fei didn't hear clearly: "You straighten your tongue and say it again, what achievement?"
The system repeated, Qin Fei rolled his eyes, can this achievement be made up carefully, there is no sense of accomplishment, so he had to say: "Let's start the lottery." ”
"The lottery was successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining the chocolate-making process. ”
Chocolate? This is the king of sweets, right?
In Qin Fei's original world, legend has it that chocolate was originally a drink made by the Mayans who collected cacao beans, and then introduced to the West, where it was improved several times before it officially appeared on the stage in World War I.
After all, chocolate is extremely high in calories, and it is the best snack for soldiers to replenish their energy.
Later, chocolate was introduced to the East, and its beautiful taste quickly conquered the taste buds of young people, and gave chocolate love, happiness and other connotations.
Qin Fei was already past the age of eating candy, but thinking of the smooth taste, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Having said that, I was obviously full at the banquet, but when I turned around, I was hungry, so let's just make a chocolate for supper. Flash Dance
There are no cocoa beans in this Xuanwu Continent, Qin Fei can only find the system to buy, and the system gives two quotations, the finished cocoa bean is five taels of silver per catty, and the cocoa tree is one hundred taels of silver per plant.
Although the cocoa tree can grow cocoa beans in a steady stream, Qin Fei had just been slaughtered by the system for 1,000 taels two days ago, and he really had no money, so he had to buy two catties of finished cocoa beans.
After all, it's just a taste today.
After deducting the fee, Qin Fei got two catties of fermented cocoa beans, which were different from the white state when they were fresh, showing a gray-brown color and releasing a faint fragrance of chocolate.
Qin Fei first roasted the cocoa beans, then peeled and ground them into cocoa powder, and then pressed out the cocoa butter, at this time the cocoa powder was reduced to a paste, and the taste tasted a little chocolate, but it was very bitter.
Add some milk, mix well with cocoa paste, put it in a pot and simmer, during which the aroma of milk chocolate will be released continuously, refreshing.
According to personal preference, add sugar juice appropriately to adjust the original bitterness, and when it is thick in the pot, it becomes liquid chocolate, turn off the heat and cool.
Because Qin Fei didn't have a mold, he poured the liquid chocolate into small spoons and then sent it to the freezer in the mechanical space to freeze it.
After a while, the cooled chocolate changed from liquid to solid, Qin Fei pulled it out of the spoon, the smell was very attractive, but the shape was not good-looking.
Qin Fei picked up a piece of chocolate and put it in his mouth.
After a few bites, the chocolate begins to melt, bringing a smooth and rich taste, as if it has been touched by a girl's little hand, and it is very delicious.
In addition, because chocolate contains a chemical substance such as phenylethylamine, it is said that lovers in love secrete a large amount of phenylethylamine in their brains, so people will have the illusion of love and happiness when they eat chocolate.
Qin Fei ate several pieces in a row, and in a trance he felt that he had a wife and children, and he enjoyed the joy of family.
No, Qin Fei suddenly came back to his senses, the crying of the child in his ears was not an illusion, it was really a child crying.
Qin Fei opened the door and saw a little girl of four or five years old sitting alone on the steps, constantly wiping her tears.
This little girl Qin Fei knows, she is a child of a stall on Beimen Road, when her father and mother are busy, she obediently kicks the shuttlecock on the side, and others call her Nannan.
"Nan, what are you doing here alone?" Qin Fei asked.
The little girl wiped her tears, stood up, and bowed her small body: "I'm sorry to disturb you, I'll leave." ”
Qin Fei likes polite children, so he beckoned: "It's okay, you can sit here." Then again, who are you bullying for?"
The little girl shook her head: "No one bullied the girl, Daddy and Auntie quarreled, I didn't listen to any persuasion"
At this point, the little girl's tears flowed down again.
Qin Fei inexplicably thought that when he was young, his parents fought all day long, and he went to persuade him to fight, and he was used as a gas bucket, forcing him to ask who to live with after the divorce.
Maybe the parents were angry at the time, but the children will take it seriously, and the pain will be remembered in their hearts for a lifetime.
Qin Fei touched her little brain: "Don't cry, adults may need to vent some emotions in this way, even if you say something ugly, don't take it seriously." ”
"In two days, your father and aunt will be reconciled. ”
Qin Fei calmed down for a while, the little girl's mood improved a lot, Qin Fei thought of something, and went to get a piece of chocolate for her: "Give you a piece of candy, don't cry after eating." ”
"Isn't this mud?" asked the little girl, who had never seen chocolate before, with tears in her eyes.
"It's not good-looking, but it's delicious, don't believe you try it. Qin Fei said with a smile.
The little girl took a suspicious bite of the letter, and the good taste of chocolate swept away all frustration, and the little girl was overjoyed: "Good sugar, thank you, uncle." ”
Qin Fei's face was worried: "Although I am old, I am not married yet, can you call me big brother?"
The little girl thought seriously for a moment: "Big brother is so pitiful, can I be my big brother's wife when I grow up?"
Qin Fei couldn't cry or laugh, and touched Nannan's brain: "Okay, then you grow up quickly." ”
The little girl smiled sweetly, she seemed to think of something, and took out the only two pennies from her purse: "Here you go." ”
"Give me money for what?" Qin Fei was a little puzzled.
"Daddy said that you can't ask for people's things for nothing, you must give money. The little girl seemed stubborn.
This is a rare and valuable quality, Qin Fei couldn't refuse, so he accepted it.
Although the chocolate was very tasty, the little girl only took the first bite, and she wrapped the rest in a handkerchief and carefully put it in her pocket.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Fei was puzzled.
"I want to take it back to Daddy and Auntie to eat, and if they eat it, they will definitely not quarrel. The little girl said sweetly.
Hey, Qin Fei thought that if he had such a daughter, he would not quarrel in front of the child even if it was a big thing, so he said: "Eat this girl, I'll go get two more for you and take home." ”
Qin Fei wrapped two chocolates in oiled paper and took Nannan's little hand: "Let's go, I'll send you home." ”
Qin Fei decided to be a nosy aunt in the neighborhood committee, and he had to say a few words about his parents.
"This is your home?" After a while, Qin Fei came to a courtyard gate, and there were still men and women scolding inside, Qin Fei frowned, and knocked on the door.
The one who opened the door was a man, his eyes were red, and his tone was also very impulsive: "Who are you looking for?"
"I opened a snack bar on Beimen Road, send the girl back" Qin Fei said, suddenly his hand was empty, and the little girl disappeared without knowing when, leaving only a bitten chocolate.
