Chapter 109: A Sumptuous Dinner Party (Part II)
He Lan returned to the imperial dining room, saw the milk, sugar and eggs in the imperial dining room, and thought about it, now it's summer, do you want to learn to make ice cream, although it has been made before, but in modern times, it can be made of cream, but there is no cream at all, and the remaining egg whites can be made into double skin milk
Thinking of this, He Lan ordered again: "Feng'er, you bring me a ...... Forget it, I'll do it myself" Originally, she wanted Feng'er to help her get a bottle, but after thinking about it, the bottle had to be made by herself, in case it broke down, it would be a waste of raw materials
"Niangniang, I don't know what you're going to do," Feng'er asked
"Ice cream and double skin milk," He Lan said
"What is this," Liu Feiping interjected curiously, after all, they had never heard of these two names
"Foreigners' favorite food is presumably they will be very happy when they see it," He Lan explained, looking for something at the door, when she saw an empty plastic bottle, her face showed joy, she immediately picked it up with water, washed it with water, and then wiped it dry with a cloth
Then I went to beat the eggs again, first beat one and squeezed the plastic bottle down, when the air came out, then the mouth of the plastic bottle was aimed at the egg yolk, and then I let go, only to see the egg yolk "snort" into the plastic bottle, and then picked up another bowl to squeeze out the egg yolk, and the other three eggs were also concocted according to law
"Niangniang, you are so clever to divide egg whites and egg whites like this," Xiaoshun flattered
"Generally, I call it second, but no one dares to call it first," He Lan smiled unashamedly
"Feng'er, you pour the milk into a small pot and cook it over low heat, but don't cook it...... Forget it, I'll come, you can't control this fire, and I don't know what to do," He Lan said halfway and shook his head, this milk is not easy to master, even beating the egg yolk is not easy to do, after all, in modern times, there are electric whisks, and now I am afraid that I have to rely on the arm
After thinking about it, He Lan decided to try it herself, and when she took the egg yolk, the thing in her hand was taken away, and when she looked at it, it was Zhao Fu Qing and said in surprise: "Lord Wang, why are you here?"
"I'll take a look at the dishes prepared by Concubine Ai, you can rest assured, Brother Huang approved my leave, saying that I made you suffer a loss today," Zhao Fu Qing smiled, "I don't know what dishes Concubine Ai is preparing"
"This is an after-dinner sweet," He Lan said, "But since the prince is here, he can't be idle, he has to work."
"Just say it, concubine, I will definitely obey," Zhao Fuqing was so obedient at this time
"Help me crack this egg yolk into ...... Milky white," He Lan hesitated before saying
"Is the egg yolk and this candy?" asked Zhao Fuqing
"Yes, it must be milky white," He Lan admonished again
"Okay," Zhao Fuqing nodded, then picked up the egg yolk bowl that had been put in the sugar, and just stirred it with chopsticks, he was stopped by He Lan: "Zhao Fuqing, this one should be stirred in one direction, not in both directions, either clockwise, or counterclockwise, but it can't be stirred."
"I remember," Zhao Fuqing nodded, and then followed He Lan's repeated instructions, and then stirred in a clockwise direction
Seeing that Zhao Fuqing was stirring the egg yolk, He Lan divided the milk into two parts, put one of them on the fire and boiled it, and when the pot of milk was just boiling, let people extinguish the fire, then turned to look at the egg yolk stirred by Zhao Fuqing, and when he saw the sweat dripping from Zhao Fuqing's face, he gently wiped the sweat off him with a cloth
"I'm sorry Fu Qing," He Lan said apologetically
"It's okay, with your words, even if I'm tired to ......death," Zhao Fu Qing's words hadn't fallen yet, He Lan blushed, took the egg yolk in his hand and stirred it casually, sure enough, the egg yolk that was still yellow just now really turned milky white
I saw He Lan scoop out the milk with a spoon again, pour it into the egg yolk liquid little by little, and when the milk was all poured in, it was stirred again, and then poured back into the pot and boiled again
When it was just boiling, the fire was extinguished again, and it was poured into the container, and then it was put in the container until it was cool, and then Mu Ping was ordered to put it in the ice cellar every time, and then take it out after a column of incense, and then use chopsticks or a small spoon to stir it, and then put it in the ice cellar, and then take it out after a column of incense, until there was no ice slag after three times
Mu Ping nodded obediently and immediately went to do it
Egg white, He Lan didn't bother Zhao Fu Qing anymore, but did it himself, first beat the egg white with chopsticks, and then boiled the milk until it was just turned off and put out the fire, and then poured the milk into the bowl and waited for it to cool
"Hey, there's a layer of skin on it," someone was surprised after about another pillar of incense
He Lan smiled and picked up a relatively thin chopstick, carefully uncovered the milk skin, and carefully poured it into the egg white that had just been broken, and the milk skin actually fell to the bottom of the bowl, naturally she still had some milk to prevent it from sticking to the bottom
Then the sugar, egg whites and milk were stirred evenly, and the bowl with the egg wash was slowly poured back along the edge of the bowl with the milk skin, and the movement was very slow, and as she poured it in, everyone was surprised that the milk skin was floating on it
When all the egg mixture was poured, He Lan found a piece of plastic paper to cover the bowl and tied it with a rope, which allowed people to put the bowl on the fire and steam it, and then turned off the fire in less than a column of incense
I took it down and looked at it and nodded, "It's still a success, it's good."
After a while, Mu Ping came back with a basin of ice cream, "Niangniang, is this okay?"
"You can come, let's divide the ice cream into more than 20 portions with a spoon, and then send it to people, I will teach you how to dig it," He Lan said while digging with a big spoon of rice, seeing how He Lan was, everyone also learned one by one, and soon more than 20 portions of ice cream were on the plate
"Send it, and this pair of leather milk can also be served, tell the emperor that there are other dishes, and I will make a pastry next, which should be their favorite foreigner," He Lan advised
"Yes"
When Stephen and Susan saw the ice cream and double skin milk, the two of them couldn't help but look at it in surprise, this is what only they foreigners would do, but they didn't expect Zhao Fuqing's fiancée to do it, which surprised them
"Back to the emperor, the Qing princess also said that she was going to make another pastry, and it was the favorite pastry of the VIPs," the person who delivered the food said
"What is it" Zhao Sheng Rong saw the envy and surprise of all the foreigners, both happy and sad, happy that He Lan presented them with a good banquet, sad that he did not marry such a virtuous wife, I really regretted it, I heard that there are also foreigners' favorite pastries, and I couldn't help but ask
"Our favorite," said another foreigner, looking at the person delivering the food with a puzzled look
"This is exactly what Princess Qing herself said, if you don't know, just wait for the noodles to come up, and then talk about the slave to retire," the person who delivered the food retreated
"Stephen, what would it be?" asked Susan
"Our favorite ...... Could it be a red rose?" Stephen suddenly remembered, He Lan would say that foreign literature would also do this, and they foreigners could cook
"Red Rose Love," Zhao Changde interjected
"Yes," Stephen smiled, "Changde, you have also stayed in the United States, so you naturally know that February 14th of every year is Valentine's Day over there, so red roses are a good day for men to propose to women in order to prove their love for women."
"Mr. Stephen, I don't understand, why should a man propose to a woman if he doesn't marry a man, besides, isn't this marriage just the appointment of the parents," Zhao Shengrong asked
"Back to the emperor, we don't have this sentence on our side, only one sentence: 'free love', and it's one-on-one, especially on Valentine's Day, to show respect for your lover," Stephen laughed
"Free love, that's not the right thing to do, it's not interesting at all," Zhao Yankang interjected
"It's different from place to place, I don't know if Miss He is also amazing, and the important person keeps her innocence" When Stephen's words came out, it suddenly made Zhaosheng Rong's face look bad
Zhao Changde hurriedly whispered in his ear, and Stephen understood, "If Miss He hadn't had black eyes, I would have really thought of her as a missing person from our place, because her thoughts are very much in line with ours."
"Oh," Zhao Shengrong didn't have the strength to respond, and at this moment, He Lan's voice came: "The emperor's concubine has made the pastry, I don't know if it can be served."
"What's the matter, hurry up," Zhao Fuqing's complaining tone also came, and then he saw him pull He Lan in
When he saw Zhao Fu Qing with a depressed face, Stephen and his friend glanced at each other, and immediately understood that Zhao Fu Qing already knew the intention of this noodle, and must have been jealous, so he stopped talking and sat down separately
"This is a red rose," said Helan, who saw him uncover the plate, and sure enough, two extremely delicate roses were presented in front of everyone, and everyone couldn't help but applaud
"Princess Qing is really beyond our expectations, it seems that this time it is really the right one," Susan smiled, and then pulled He Lan up, "If Princess Qing doesn't dislike it, I don't know if you can take me as an apprentice and teach me how to make this rose from ready-made things."
"This ...... Miss Susan, it's not that I can't accept it, but it is up to my fiancé to decide, after all, my future depends on him," He Lan smiled and pointed at Zhao Fuqing
"Whatever you want," Zhao Fu Qingji was not angry, and then said to Zhao Changde: "Fifth brother, I have time to buy me a few roses, I want people to see if I can please women."
"Poof" Zhao Fu Qing's words, everyone laughed, no one expected that the Qing prince would be jealous in front of everyone
"Haha," Stephen and Susan and the others laughed even more, and they didn't give everyone a face
"You don't have to look at the ninth brother, it's better to use this pastry to propose," Zhaosheng Rong said
"Your Majesty, that's not good, you have to use real roses, this is just what I do, if you use this, it doesn't mean that you are sincere," He Lan refused
"It's good that the king of heaven will definitely propose, you just wait" Zhao Fu was innocent, He Lan glanced at it, picked up the rose casually, and ate it, it tasted really good
"The concubine retires"
"Wait ...... slow" At this moment, I saw another blue-eyed man stand up, holding a glass of wine in his hand and slowly walked towards He Lan......
