Chapter 28: Suspicion
Li Yuqing nodded, this fat man is also a well-informed person, and the group of people she selected back are not bad. im
After the explanation is over, it is time to start the actual operation. She plans to experiment with milk tea first, and the first thing she wants to do is to make refined milk.
Condensed milk is a dairy product made from fresh milk or goat's milk with sugar concentration, which is very sweet and can be eaten directly or added to drinks to add flavor.
It is okay to make milk tea without milk, but it does not taste good after adding, she is not only sold to the outside world, but of course she tries to improve the good taste.
Adding condensed milk to milk tea can make milk tea more mellow, and milk flavor and tea flavor can be blended without any sense of disobedience. This is what she has experimented at home, milk tea without condensed milk does not taste so good, like a simple mixture of milk and tea, it tastes a little strange, and after adding condensed milk, it has a taste in a milk tea shop.
After mixing the two evenly, put them in a pot over high heat, then turn to low heat and boil slowly, stirring constantly until they are thick, and then turn off the heat.
There are a lot of stoves in the kitchen, and Li Yuqing uses two, one pot to boil milk and the other to cook goat's milk. Time passed, and the smell of milk in the air became thicker, fragrant and sweet, evoking the softest corner of people's hearts.
In this steaming and sweet space, Li Yuqing is both dreamy and hot, the sense of smell is joyful, the sense of touch is unbearable, and happiness and pain coexist. Everyone's faces also had a tangled expression, and they felt that the smell was sweet, but the steam was hot.
Now it is a step in the small fire, let a few maids and Pang Fei take turns stirring, and the empty people go out to breathe, so as not to suffer from heat stroke inside.
After a quarter of an hour, the milk in both pots became viscous, and the milk was ready.
Put it in a clay pot and put it in a cool and ventilated place, where it can be stored for about a week. If it is stored at low temperature, it can be stored for more than half a month, and Li Yuqing put the milk in the refrigerator that he brought.
The next thing is to boil milk tea, tea she is going to choose black tea this time, pour in two scoops of water first, put in an appropriate amount of black tea tea, and boil it for half an hour, that is, about seven or eight minutes, which will make the taste of tea come out and the taste is more mellow.
Take an appropriate amount of sugar and put it in a pot, fry it until it is light brown, add two scoops of milk, here you have to pay attention to the same amount of tea and milk, and the milk tea boiled will taste better.
After adding the milk, stir repeatedly to avoid clumps of fried sugar. When the milk boils and the sugar melts in, add the black tea water that has been filtered to the tea residue, then add an appropriate amount of condensed milk according to the taste, stir it well, simmer for a quarter of an hour, and the black tea milk tea is ready.
Light brown with a hint of amber red, it is a translucent and psychedelic color, reminiscent of the red rose in the night, dangerous and beautiful, tempting to sink into the dark night... The fresh aroma of black tea is mixed with the sweetness of milk, cold and sweet, like a plausible teasing, and people can't help but be attracted by it.
Put the boiled black tea milk tea in the well and start making other flavors of milk tea. The steps are all the same, but the tea leaves are different.
After all the stoves were turned on together and all the tea leaves he bought were experimented, Li Yuqing was already hot and sweaty, and his clothes were wet with sweat and clinging to his body very uncomfortable.
She still gritted her teeth and insisted, these are always things to do, why waste time by procrastinating?
All flavors of milk tea had to be chilled, and there was no place for a few jars in the well, and two boxes of ice in the inner courtyard were brought over to ice milk tea.
During this period, Mama Yang also came to see several times, looking at Li Yuqing's sweaty appearance, she was very distressed, and asked Li Yuqing to go out and she came to guard, but Li Yuqing refused, and this bit of suffering can still endure. Mama Yang couldn't, so she sent sour plum soup to quench her thirst for a while, and brought well water to wipe Li Yuqing's sweat and wash her face.
I was afraid that I wouldn't have time to make lunch at noon, so I asked Mama Yang to go to the Fang Market to buy some cakes and come back to satisfy my hunger, and eat together in the main hall later, and try milk tea by the way.
Li Yuqing's brain turned on the calculation mode...
Each type of milk tea has four scoops, one scoop is about one catty, and there are four catties in total.
There were nine people in the house, and twenty-three new people, making a total of thirty-two people.
Each catty is about 500 milliliters in modern times, four catties is 2000 milliliters, and 2000 divided by 32 equals ???
Li Yuqing's brain is a little insufficient, indicating that she needs scratch paper! Forget it, estimate that two thousand divided by thirty is more than sixty, which means that each person can drink about two or three sips of a small half cup, and they should be able to taste it.
A total of eight flavors of milk tea were made, black tea, green tea, oolong tea, caramel, jasmine, plum blossom, osmanthus, and rose. In fact, there are many flavors, but she thinks these flavors are the easiest to be loved by the public, so she deliberately bought them back and experimented with them first.
After the milk tea was made, Li Yuqing went back to take a bath first, and several people who were busy in the kitchen also asked them to freshen up, just so that the prepared milk tea had time to be chilled.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, I went to the front yard again, asked Luju to prepare some rice paper and pen and ink with me, gathered everyone to the main hall and sat down, and then brought in all the iced milk tea.
Li Yuqing sat directly above, with a pen and paper in front of him. Eight bowls were distributed in front of each person, one for each flavor, which was used to hold milk tea to prevent flavor crossing.
Milk tea is given one flavor at a time, and the rest is placed in the refrigerator (this refrigerator: a wooden box with ice ←_←), so as not to affect the taste of the cold air.
Several girls took turns to distribute, using a small spoon to scoop, and each person scooped two spoons in front of them to fill a small half bowl.
After scooping it up, everyone began to taste and give evaluations, whether the sweetness was moderate, or light and strong, whether the tea flavor was thick or thin, whether the milk flavor was heavy or light, and so on...
All the sugar, milk, and tea added by Li Yuqing are moderate and the same amount, which just gives them a reference for evaluation, and according to their evaluation, they can summarize the general taste of the people here, which is convenient for bulk sales and reference customization.
With a general idea in his heart, he went to the table in front of Li Yuqing and wrote it down, marking his name. This not only made a simple questionnaire, but also checked the homework of everyone - how well the words were written, and whether there was any progress in the choice of words and sentences.
Li Yuqing sat in front and tasted the long-lost milk tea, her eyes narrowed with enjoyment, the sweet and cold milk tea with the fragrance of tea slid into the mouth like silk satin, and the delicate and silky touch went all the way, as if the sweetness had entered the heart, which made people feel a little fluttery.
The people below are also intoxicated, and they are shocked by the first taste, which is not like the taste of the world. Although I felt that the taste would not be bad when I smelled the sweet smell of this milk tea, when I took a sip and the taste spread in my mouth, I couldn't help but marvel in my heart and was reluctant to swallow it...
After tasting them one by one, and then writing the evaluation, I didn't know how to eat the dry and hard cakes, and I couldn't stop discussing how wonderful the taste of milk tea was just now.
After Bihe drank it, she chattered excitedly in Li Yuqing's ear: "Miss's milk tea is also so delicious, everything is so delicious, but it's only one sip, I can't drink enough!" When will Miss make this again to drink? ”
Li Yuqing waved his hand with a headache, rolled his eyes, and threw out a fatal question: "You think about it, tell me which one is the best to drink, and I'll make it for you!" Think about it! ”
Bihe has some difficulty in choosing, she didn't find it herself, she has always observed carefully, but she found a small problem with Bihe. The hardest thing for someone who has a hard time choosing is picking out a favorite!
Looking at Bihe muttering to herself, with a tangled look on her face, she secretly snickered in her heart, I really have a smart brain~ (Does anyone think that the heroine is good or bad, this idea is lacking in virtue←_←)
Li Santian was also a little amazed, looked at Li Yuqing on the first seat in surprise, frowned, and secretly thought that his master was a little extraordinary, and his bearing and wisdom were not ordinary, and the thing called milk tea that he made was even more amazing, and he might be good to follow her.
I don't know if it's really recognized or I was a fan of the milk tea circle.
Li tasted the milk tea for three days, taking a small sip for fear of finishing it, his face was satisfied and happy, if Li Yuqing saw this picture, he would definitely pop up the words sweet tooth lover in his mind.
Everyone below praised and discussed happily, but only one person lowered his eyelids and drooped his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, Li Yuqing went back to take a lunch break, and everyone dispersed.
Zimo rubbed the handkerchief and went back to the room absentmindedly, and almost fell down when he tripped over a branch on the way, Li Donglan next to him hurriedly helped: "Why is Aunt Zimo so careless, can her feet be broken?" ”
Zimo came back to his senses, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the weather is a little hot and I can't see the road clearly." She was in a state of confusion, and her answer was a little wrong.
Li Donglan didn't pay attention to this, so Zimo didn't fall, and excitedly discussed with Zimo about today's noon milk tea:
"The milk tea made by Miss is really amazing, I have traveled all over the years, and I have traveled all over the north and south, and I have never drunk such delicious things!"
Zimo's eyes darkened when he heard this, pursed his lips, turned around, and stared at Li Donglan seriously: "You haven't heard of this milk tea either?" ”
Li Donglan thought that Zimo was also very interested in this milk tea, and he and Zimo were young ladies together, so he was as happy as a confidant, and his smile deepened: "That's right!" I've never seen it, Miss is really smart! I'm with Miss now, and I'm really with the right person! ”
After hearing the answer, Twilight stopped, stirred the handkerchief in her hand, closed her slightly open mouth, and pursed her expression.
"Aunt Zimo!" After she finished speaking, she looked to the side and saw that no one glanced back, and Zimo stopped a few steps behind. Li Donglan was a little puzzled, why did he stop suddenly?
