Chapter 84: The Birth of Ice Cream
When she was a child, Jiang Liuli and her mother lived not far from the ice cream factory, and her mother had to work several jobs every day in order to live, and she also stayed in the ice cream factory.
"Miss, may I ask what exactly you want to do?" You Ziming is really curious, this is milk and ice, what is she going to do?
"I want to make ice cream, something that is very cool to eat in the summer." Jiang Liuli said yearningly, she hadn't eaten ice cream for a long time, and she had the idea to try it out in Liuli Palace, but she was too busy at that time, and she only cared about studying, so she didn't have time at all.
"Ice cream?" The wanderer muttered, completely unable to imagine how milk could be turned into ice cream.
"Tomorrow you can bring some milk." The thought of being able to eat ice cream made her saliva fall off.
"Okay." You Ziming knew that she was going to make ice cream tomorrow, and she was immediately excited, and she was looking forward to tomorrow more and more.
After You Ziming left, she began to think about the way to make ice cream, and then wrote it down, in fact, the ice cream method is simple, but it is very laborious, especially to stir, in modern times there are whisks, but here, can only be stirred manually.
With milk, you can make a lot of drinks, such as milk tea, such as cakes, and the more drinks you have, the more customers will like them, and they will come to taste them often.
In addition to making ice cream and milk tea, she plans to make a few more drinks, but the fruits here are limited, so she can only choose a few juicy fruits.
Fruit drinks are available, so what should be done with staple foods? After thinking about it for a while, she decided to make a few cakes, planning to completely transform the hot pot restaurant into a dessert house.
Although she can also turn a hot pot restaurant into a restaurant, the business will never be worse than any restaurant, but she just wants to be different, although desserts and drinks can't be eaten every day, but the weather is hot, everyone wants something refreshing, even if they can't eat every day, but also let everyone miss the cold and delicious ice cream or drink, as long as she thinks about it, her business will be so prosperous every year.
After writing down all the ways to make drinks, she plans to go out and find some ceramic bowls to hold ice cream, and only a beautiful ceramic bowl with ice cream will bring out the nobility of ice cream, making people want to swallow it all when they see it.
Originally, she wanted to go to the street to look for the ceramic bowl immediately, but thinking of what she had just told You Ziming to do, he must be busy, so she dispelled this idea.
She sat in front of the window, looking at the green trees outside the window, and sighed to herself, if only there were glasses, so that the ice cream would look better and be more appetizing.
Thinking of this, she sighed helplessly, although she had an idea, she couldn't implement it, and it was also a very frustrating thing, she didn't know how to make glass, so she could only put this idea on hold.
The next morning, You Ziming brought fresh milk, and she had planned to go to the ceramic shop, so she had to go to the kitchen instead.
She boiled the milk in a pot, then mixed the egg yolks with the sugar and began to stir with the wooden whisk she had made last night.
After stirring for a while, she felt that her hands were very sore, it seemed that this kind of work was indeed very difficult, in desperation, she found Mingyue and Mingxia, and the three of them worked together to stir until it was sticky.
After stirring the egg liquid, the hands of the three of them were so sore that they couldn't hold things, which made Jiang Liuli even more eager to make a tool for easy stirring.
She poured the boiled milk into the egg mixture, stirred it as she poured, and then poured it into the pot again, stirring while boiling on a low heat, and after cooking, she poured the finished product into a basin to cool, and then put it in the ice cellar.
It was the first time she had been to the ice cellar, and she walked in and felt that it was freezing to death, but it was exactly the cold she needed, colder than the freezing temperature of the refrigerator.
She put the ice cream liquid into a frozen column of incense and took it out and stirred it, repeating this four times before leaving with peace of mind, this time only waiting until the ice cream was completely frozen.
After that, Jiang Liuli spent all her time developing an automatic mixer, and manual mixing was too laborious, and she didn't want to try again.
It's a pity that I didn't think about it all day and didn't figure out how to change it, until I saw the buns on the table in the evening, and it suddenly dawned on me, since flour can be crushed into noodles, can it also be made with the same principle?
I have an idea in my heart, but it is not comprehensive, so I can only put this idea on hold for the time being, and then slowly think about the feasibility when I have time.
The most important thing now is to see if the ice cream has been successfully made, and if it fails, find other ways to improve it.
She came to the ice cellar again, looking at the ice cream that had been frozen in the basin, her heart was excited, but she was also a little apprehensive, and she didn't know how it tasted.
She took the wooden spoon she had brought in advance, gently scraped off a layer from it, and put it in her mouth nervously, the cold milky aroma instantly filled her mouth, although the taste was not as good as the ice cream she had eaten before, but it was not bad.
She tasted it again excitedly, not afraid of the cold at all, tasted one bite after another in the cold ice cellar, and finally satisfied her cravings, and then walked out of the ice cellar with ice cream.
This time, she made a lot of food, which was completely enough for the entire Yishui Pavilion to eat, and every time she made a new product, she would let everyone taste it.
When she walked into the small building, You Ziming was sitting in the hall waiting for her, and it seemed that he was even more anxious than himself.
She brought the ice cream to him, and he looked at Jiang Liuli with a puzzled expression, and then at the snow-white thing with smoke in front of him.
"This is ice cream?" He asked curiously, pointing to the contents of the basin.
"Go to the kitchen and get some bowls and wooden spoons." She ignored his doubts and planned to conquer his taste buds with delicious food so that he would not have any doubts.
After hearing this, You Ziming hurriedly went to the kitchen, and soon took the bowl and wooden spoon, and after putting the things on the table, he finally couldn't help but be curious, and reached out to touch the bottom of the basin, and the chill at the bottom of the basin frightened him to retract his hand.
"So ice?" He looked at Jiang Liuli in shock, can such an icy thing really be eaten? Can it taste good?
Jiang Liuli silently took a clean wooden spoon and turned around in the ice cream, dug out a not too round ice cream ball, put it in the bowl, and dug several more before stopping.
"You taste it first, and I'll ask if I have any questions." She shoved the ice cream in front of him, and she picked up three bowls and carried them away.
She came to the palace chief to clear the door with three bowls of ice cream, and because she couldn't knock on the door with her hands, she kicked the door open directly with her foot, which immediately frightened the two people in the house.
When she saw the situation in the house, she was stunned, she looked at the two people kissing in front of her in shock, the bowl in her hand almost couldn't hold it and fell to the ground, she never expected the two to be so good.
When Ming Xia saw Jiang Liuli at the door, she hurriedly pushed Gong Changqing away, hiding in the corner and reluctant to come out, her face was hot, and she felt like she was about to smoke.
The palace chief Qing was very calm, wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth, sat down leisurely and calmly, looked at Ming Xia who was too ashamed to come out to meet people, and then looked at Jiang Liuli, who was standing motionless at the door in shock.
"Something?" He poured a cup of tea and took a sip of it, looking at the thing in her hand in a good mood.
"I'll give you a taste of the cold and delicious taste." Jiang Liuli walked into the house and put the ice cream on the table, although she had a lot of questions to ask them, she knew that this was not the time, Ming Xia was so ashamed that she couldn't say anything about the two of them in front of her, so she could only wait for the next time and ask Gong Changqing alone.
"What did you do this time?" Gong Changqing looked at the snow-white things in the bowl, in the Liuli Palace, she often cooked some food that she had never heard of, so she was looking forward to what she made every time.
"You taste it first." She pushed the bowl in front of him and asked him to taste it first.
"Next summer, you can also come and taste it, just to lower your body temperature." Jiang Liuli looked at Ming Xia who was hiding behind the curtain teasingly.
"Miss." Ming Xia glanced at her with disgust, and then looked at Gong Changqing, who was looking at her gently, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly walked out, the flush on her face still did not dissipate, making her more coquettish, and the palace chief saw it, and his eyes became deep.
"Here, put out the fire." Jiang Liuli pulled her to sit beside her and pushed another bowl of ice cream in front of her.
Gong Changqing and Ming Xia tasted a mouthful of ice cream silently, first they felt very cold, they felt that their tongues were frozen, and when the cold in their mouths gradually faded, they felt that their mouths were filled with the sweetness of milk, and the slippery feeling made people can't help but taste it again and again.
"Ruri, where did you get these weird ideas? Every time I make food, it's so special and delicious. Gong Changqing said appreciatively.
"How? Isn't it cool to have this thing to cool off in the hot summer? Jiang Liuli said confidently, eating this thing in summer is definitely addictive.
"With this thing in the summer, no matter how hot it is, I won't be afraid." After eating the ice cream in Ming Xia, he nodded excitedly, and the shyness just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"This kind of thing, no matter how expensive it is, can be sold." After Gong Changqing elegantly ate the ice cream, he said confidently that the dignitaries would enjoy life the most, and if they knew about the existence of ice cream, no matter how expensive it was, they would come to buy it.
Jiang Liuli nodded in agreement, however, she didn't plan to sell it expensive, she hoped that everyone could eat things that could cool off the summer, especially those who still had to do farm work in summer.
"Miss, is this the thing you made this morning?" Ming Xia asked curiously, it was amazing that it was still a thick liquid in the morning, but in the evening, it turned into such a delicious and heat-relieving thing.
"I didn't think it would be a success the first time." After eating the ice cream in her bowl, she sighed and said that the first time she made this thing, she was not so confident that she could succeed in one attempt.
"Miss, has Mingyue tasted it?" Ming Xia looked at the empty bowl in front of her, Mingyue liked to eat anything made by Jiang Liuli the most, and she wanted to taste it in the morning.
"She doesn't seem to be in the backyard." She looked around just now, but she didn't find Mingyue's figure, probably busy in front.
"I'm going to get her back." After Ming Xia finished speaking, she hurriedly left, as if she was afraid that Gong Changqing would not let her go, and her steps became faster and faster.
Jiang Liuli looked at Ming Xia, who fled in a panic, knowing that she needed time to buffer the stimulation she had just received, so she didn't make a sound to stop her.
