Chapter 66: Ice Cream and Herbal Tea
Passing by the dessert shop, Gao Dian walked in and happened to see Wei Qiaoyi stirring something.
"What are you doing here?"
Gao Dian asked curiously.
"Yikes! It's you. Wei Qiaoyi looked up at Gao Dian and said with a smile.
Gao Dian took a closer look, only to see that the basin in Wei Qiaoyi's hand was a white viscous liquid, what it was, Gao Dian couldn't tell.
"What are you doing here?" Gao Dian asked.
"I'm making ice cream, it's too hot, make some ice cream and eat it." Wei Qiaoyi said.
"Ice cream! How? ”
Hearing that it was ice cream, Gao Dian suddenly became interested.
He had long been curious about how ice cream was made, and now that he had the chance, of course he had to ask.
"This one I'm making is an abridged version, which is made with cream and milk." Wei Qiaoyi said.
"I'll study it, and when I do, I'll go home and do it." Gao Dian said.
"Okay, then you wait for me for a while, I'll teach you after I've done this." Wei Qiaoyi said.
"Hmm."
After a while, Wei Qiaoyi put the prepared ice cream in the refrigerator and waited for it to freeze.
Wei Qiaoyi took out the materials and tools, and explained to Gao Dian while doing it.
"Actually, there are many ways to make ice cream, but I think it's easier to make it with cream and milk. Whip the cream, add an appropriate amount of milk and mix well, add your favorite flavor, and you can put it in the refrigerator to freeze. ”
Gao Dian was stunned and said, "It's so simple? ”
Wei Qiaoyi smiled: "Of course it's simple, anyway, why do you eat it yourself, why do you do it so complicated." ”
Gao Dian asked again: "Is there anything that needs to be paid attention to?" ”
"Of course, this cream can't be whipped too much, it's almost like this." Wei Qiaoyi showed it to Gao Dian.
Gao Dian nodded, this is the cream state that Wei Qiaoyi has beaten in his heart.
"Also, it's better to use skim milk instead of skim milk, use whole milk, and the ice cream that makes it taste better." Wei Qiaoyi said.
Gao Dian nodded.
"Don't add too much milk, once you add too much, there will be ice ballast in the frozen ice cream, which will affect the texture and taste." Wei Qiaoyi said.
"I see, I listened to you, and I really thought it was easy to make ice cream, but it turned out that there was still a lot of attention to in it." Gao Dian said.
"Of course, any kind of food, no matter how simple it is, has a lot of exquisiteness in it, and you can't make it if you don't know it." Wei Qiaoyi said.
Gao Dian has a deep experience, for example, steamed buns, before he learned to make steamed buns, he also felt that making steamed buns was very simple, thinking that he only needed to mix the dough out and let it be steamed on the steamer after fermentation.
It's basically true, but there are a lot of exquisiteness in the middle, and if you don't know these exquisite, the steamed buns are not delicious.
"What flavor of ice cream do you like to eat?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.
"Me? I like to eat vanilla-flavored ones. Gao Dian said.
"Then let's make a vanilla-flavored one this time." Wei Qiaoyi said.
Then she stepped aside and brought a stick of vanilla.
Gao Dian quietly watched Wei Qiaoyi make ice cream, thinking that he would make it when he went back today.
"Yikes!"
Wei Qiaoyi suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong?" Gao Dian asked.
"I still have herbal tea boiling in the kitchen, I forgot it, don't do it." Wei Qiaoyi said.
Immediately, she put in the ice cream and rushed to the kitchen, Gao Dian followed behind, and as soon as she entered, she asked about the taste of herbal tea.
Wei Qiaoyi uncovered the pot, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's not boiled dry." ”
She scooped out a spoonful with a spoon, put it to her mouth and blew it, then put it in her mouth and tasted it, and her face suddenly collapsed.
"It's not dry, but it's over."
When Gao Dian heard this, he said, "I'm sorry. ”
Wei Qiaoyi turned his head to look at Gao Dian and said, "What are you apologizing for?" ”
"Did you forget it because you taught me how to make ice cream?" Gao Dian asked.
Wei Qiaoyi smiled: "What do you want!" How can it be! I just forgot, and it's not your fault. ”
"Huh, that's good, if it's my fault, I have to compensate you for this pot of herbal tea." Gao Dian said.
Wei Qiaoyi rolled her eyes and said, "Don't worry, I don't want you to pay." ”
"Then again, didn't you make ice cream? Why do you want to make herbal tea again? Gao Dian asked.
"It's not because it's been so hot these two days, I have to make something to relieve the heat. If you eat too much ice cream, you will have diarrhea, but herbal tea will not, not only to relieve the heat, but also to drink it. Wei Qiaoyi said.
Gao Dian looked at such a big pot of herbal tea and said, "You must not be able to finish such a big pot, right?" ”
"How?" Wei Qiaoyi asked.
"I can help you with that." Gao Dian said.
Wei Qiaoyi rolled her eyes and said, "If you want to drink, just say it, why beat around the bush." ”
"You wait, I'll go get you a bowl."
Wei Qiaoyi went to get two small and delicate bowls and scooped out two bowls of herbal tea for Gao Dian.
"Be careful." Wei Qiaoyi said.
"I know."
"You take it out first, the herbal tea won't taste good until it's cold." Wei Qiaoyi said.
"Gotcha!"
Gao Dian carried two bowls of herbal tea and placed them on the table outside. With the assistance of air conditioning, the herbal tea cools quickly.
Wei Qiaoyi sat opposite Gao Dian and chatted with Gao Dian.
The two chatted about some topics such as pastries and desserts, most of which were some gossip.
Regarding the question, Gao Dian did not ask again.
Wei Qiaoyi told Gao Dian a few days ago that she couldn't answer some of the questions he asked now.
After chatting for a while, the herbal tea cooled down.
Wei Qiaoyi tested the temperature with his hand and said, "It's okay, let's try it." ”
Hearing this, Gao Dian took a sip of the bowl.
A sweet water with a faint smell of herbs flows into the mouth, the taste of herbs is very light, it is not like drinking medicine, the sweetness is not strong, and you will not feel very tired when you drink it.
Herbal tea travels down the mouth, into the esophagus, and finally into the stomach. The summer heat disappeared at this moment, replaced by a refreshing coolness.
After drinking it in just one sip, Gao Dian couldn't help but drink the remaining herbal tea in one go.
"It's delicious."
Gao Dian said with a long sigh of relief.
Wei Qiaoyi said with a smile: "Actually, the taste is still a little worse, mainly because I forgot to boil herbal tea, and the heat is too much, otherwise the taste will be even better." ”
"It's already delicious." Gao Dian said.
Wei Qiaoyi smiled and drank her own bowl.
Gao Dian sighed: "I found out how you seem to be able to do anything. ”
"Whereever, I won't have much. This herbal tea was taught to me by my grandfather, and I still can't make it taste like my grandfather. Wei Qiaoyi said.
Gao Dian got up and said, "It's not early, I'll go back first." ”
"You wait." Wei Qiaoyi stopped Gao Dian.
"How?"
Wei Qiaoyi went to the refrigerator and took out the ice cream she made behind, which was not completely frozen, she handed the ice cream to Gao Dian and said, "Oh, take this back and eat it." ”
"This ...... No need. ”
"There's too much ice cream for me to eat, so you can help me share it." Wei Qiaoyi said with a wink.
When Gao Dian heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, he just said this, and now it is being used by Wei Qiaoyi.
"Okay, then I'll help you share the burden." Gao Dian took it and said.
Gao Dian walked out of the dessert shop and went back with ice cream in his hand.
