Chapter 183: The people of the Central Plains are not used to eating
Jiang Yifan was very effective in front of everyone to Ye Xinyan's pretentious Q&A. After the county government and his entourage left, no matter what status the people in the village saw the people in the second room of the Qi family, they not only had a warm attitude, but also faintly carried a lot of respect and flattery in the enthusiasm.
It turned out that a few village women who were squinting at Ye Xinyan also restrained the mean faces that made people look disgusted in the past, and replaced them with even more disgusting flattering faces, and Ye Xinyan's back was cold.
No matter what the attitude of the people around you is, you still have to do what you have to do.
Once a lot of things have been decided, we have to start working on them.
Jiang Yifan inspected Qinghe Village the next day, and at about midnight, the person Jinrong was looking for who was good at handling cow and goat milk arrived, and at the same time arrived two stewards who had managed a food workshop, and a car of equipment and items that seemed to be building a simple military tent.
Ye Xinyan can no longer be alone like before, and get along with others as much as he wants. Under Mama Liu's strict arrangement, she was accompanied by a maid and a mother-in-law at any time.
Although this is a bit inconvenient, it is also very powerful.
Just like now, with the cattle farm and the starting cream and cheese powder as the foundation, as well as the royal servants who follow Ye Xinyan wholeheartedly, it is much easier for Ye Xinyan to deal with those two stewards.
The two stewards were Xie Chun and Wang Xingxin, and there were three laborers led by Zhang Baokui who had spent several years in Beiyi and were good at handling cow and sheep milk.
Under Liu Qing's respectful recommendation, the five of them were also cautious to Ye Xinyan.
After finishing the official business, Liu Qing didn't stay long, and after telling the five of them many matters, he said goodbye to Ye Xinyan and left alone.
Leaving Ye Xinyan to lead two stewards and three laborers, well, as well as Bi Ning and a mother-in-law who is said to be able to have two children, went to the milk fermentation warehouse of the cattle farm to watch the fermentation of milk, as well as a little cream stored in the warehouse, and a lot of dried cheese.
Ye Xinyan said: "Our people here are not good at making dairy products, and it is already the limit to be able to do this. The sixth master sent a few people over in order to process the milk better and make the dairy products into a noble ingredient that can be stored stably. ”
Although the two stewards were also experts in managing food factories, it was the first time they had seen batches of fermented milk.
Seeing that the milk they saw on a daily basis became cloudy and gray, and there was a faint smell of some indescribable smells, they were very suspicious that these things could be used for anything other than to pour them out.
And the three laborers who did the work were the people Jinrong found who were familiar with the consumption of cow and goat milk. Looking at the gray-white cream, which they usually call chewing, and the main food that they can't do without walking on the vast desert meadows, milk eggs, a sense of familiarity comes to my heart.
One of the older middle-aged men was Zhang Baokui, who pointed to a wooden barrel placed against the wall and said in a northernal accent: "No problem, that's what I did, and I've done it very well." The next thing to do is to wash this chew well, wash and beat it, remove the water and sourness, and it is butter. Butter can sit for a longer period of time. ”
Seeing Ye Xinyan nodding, Zhang Baokui added some confidence and continued: "The people in the pastoral area will also stir the fresh milk repeatedly to separate the cream, and the cream taken out is the same as what Qi Zhangshi is making now. However, the stirred milk eggs do not have the same unique aroma as fermented. ”
Zhang Baokui said as he gestured above the barrel for stirring, as if he was afraid that the young woman would not understand what he was talking about.
The two stewards looked at each other. A unique aroma? Why didn't they smell any unique aroma, but something strangely sour? The smell, although it can't be said to be unpleasant, is definitely not an aroma.
Ye Xinyan looked at a few people and said slowly: "The sixth master brought a few people, not just to make butter and milk eggs from milk. ”
Zhang Baokui said in a lost voice: "Then what else can you do?" Cow's milk can only make these things. Moreover, if you go out for a long time and bring some milk and eggs, it is more useful than those dry food in our Central Plains, and it is definitely a good thing to carry hunger. ”
"The sixth master wants to make the things in the milk into exquisite ingredients that the upper-class rich families can compete to eat, and make the dairy industry a big business and a big industry." Ye Xinyan continued to say in an unhurried tone.
"So, how is that possible?" Together with the middle-aged man, another lean middle-aged man couldn't help but interject.
Zhang Baokui and the others also meant the same, they looked at Ye Xinyan with incredible eyes, and wondered in their hearts, these things made of cow's milk are the main food of the poor herdsmen in the vast desert grassland of Beiyi, that is, those nobles in Beiyi will not usually eat dry and hard milk eggs, that is also processed, or eaten when the milk tofu is not dry and hard, and will never treat these things as exquisite food.
Ye Xinyan waved her hand and motioned for them to come out. Then he led them back to his yard, and said as he walked: "There should be more than these uses of milk, so the sixth master will find you people who are good at doing things and managing things to make milk into more edible ingredients." ”
It was Zhang Baokui who was the first to speak, and he hesitated and said: "In Beiyi, people also chew their mouths, that is, the cream that Qi Zhangshi said, and eat it with the creamy fried rice. He paused, but continued, "We Central Plains people are not used to eating, in fact, if you live in the north for a long time, those two things are still very fragrant when you mix them." ”
"I know this," Ye Xinyan nodded, which was regarded as encouraging a few servants from the north, "People also call it fried rice, and sometimes it is also soaked in cow and goat milk to eat together." ”
"Yes, yes, it's fried rice, and the people of Beiyi call it that." Finally in the Central Plains, I met a person who did not discriminate against Beiyi food, and Zhang Baokui was very surprised by the people who came from the north.
Back in the courtyard of the second room of the Qi family, under the guidance of Mama Liu, Ye Xinyan and Xie Changchun sat at the table in the courtyard at a distance.
Ye Xinyan instructed Mama Liu: "Mama take some cheese powder, as well as the cheese made with water, cream and cheese powder yesterday, and then take a few slices of cake and some snacks." ”
Mama Liu brought the food Ye Xinyan said to the table, and Xie Chun and Wang Xingxin probed and looked at the same dim sum and things that seemed to be ingredients on the table one after another.
Zhang Baokui was the first to recognize the plate of cheese powder, he pointed to the plate and looked at Ye Xinyan, "This, this thing ......"
Ye Xinyan nodded and said, "Yes, this thing is made of milk eggs, and it is cheese powder." ”
Zhang Baokui had a lot of Ye Xinyan's intention of sending heavenly things, and he said with difficulty: "It's not easy to bring it like this, and it's not easy to eat it." ”
Xie Chun and Xingxin were more interested in the dim sum in the other two plates. These two kinds of dim sum should be the things in the Qi family's snack shop, which makes people salivate and can arouse their appetite when they look at it.
Ye Xinyan pushed a plate of small shortbread to a few people, and said, "This snack is made of cheese powder, how many people can taste it, can you still eat it?" Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
