Chapter 28 The Power of Sweets
Ye Hua was not polite, he sat down directly next to Hua Mian and said, "What can I have for supper tonight? I'm exhausted from the day." He stretched his head to look at the cup in Hua Mian's hand, "What is this?"
"Seeing that there was only some pudding residue left in the cup, Ye Hua asked curiously. When he just walked in, he smelled a sweet smell in the air. If he guessed correctly, the smell was wafting from the porcelain cup in Hua Mian's hand.
came out.
Seeing Ye Hua's appearance, Hua Mian thought of the cat her roommate had, and couldn't help but smile. She got up and walked into the house. After a while, she came out with a wooden tray. In the tray were two cups of pudding and two cups of water.
With a spoonful of pudding in his mouth, the expression on Ye Hua's face changed wonderfully, "What is this made of? It's really delicious. Although it was a bit ugly when I first saw it, why does it taste so soft? It tastes like honey, and there's a hint of honey.
It has an indescribable fragrance and is delicious.”
Seeing Ye Hua finish two puddings quickly like a cloud, Hua Mian happily handed over the water. For people who like to cook, there is nothing better than seeing what they made can be eaten by others and then saying "Okay"
Nothing could be happier than "eating".
After taking a sip of water, Ye Hua asked, "What is this called? When I first brought it over, I thought it was a layer of bean paste based on the color of the surface. Ah, I can still taste the honey, but I don't know the other kind."
"This is called pudding. It is made from the goat milk that was delivered today, mixed with eggs and honey. The top layer is called caramel, which is made by grinding the sugar cubes into powder and mixing them with water." Hua Mian replied casually, but looked aside.
Ye Hua was startled and suddenly froze.
"You said this is made of goat's milk?" Ye Hua raised the cup to his nose and smelled it, with a surprised expression on his face.
"Yes, because goat's milk was delivered today. Although it has been made with cow's milk before, the first time I used goat's milk, the effect was also good." Hua Mian did not notice Ye Hua's expression when she heard that she had also made it with milk.
Becoming more surprised.
This country called Akawa is half coastal and half plains, with mostly cultivated land. Cows are an important asset as a labor force. Few people consider eating beef. Milk has its own fishy smell and the teachings of the Tenjin Sect have mentioned that milk should be taken.
It will cause damage to the cow's body, so the consumption of milk is even rarer.
Ye Hua had drank cow's milk and goat's milk before, but none of them could compare to the pudding he was eating now.
"How...how is this done?" Looking at the pudding cup in his hand, "There is no fishy smell at all. It's obviously such a terrible thing to drink, but it can actually become so delicious." Ye Hua looked a little incredible.
"Sister Ye Hua, if you like it, I'll make it for you later if I have the ingredients." Seeing Ye Hua showing so much interest in a pudding, Hua Mian felt a little funny, but didn't show it, and took it out of the inner pocket of her skirt.
A few small nuts were handed to Ye Hua.
"What is this?" Ye Hua asked. This looked a bit like a melon seed, but it was much larger than a melon seed.
"This is an almond. I used to work for Pharmacist Lian. I saw a lot of apricot kernels, so I asked Pharmacist Lian for some. The apricot kernels are ground whole to make medicine there, so the apricot kernel powder tastes bitter. Break open the apricot kernels.
Just use the almond part inside and it won’t taste bitter.”
With that said, Hua Mian took an almond and put it into her mouth and started chewing it. Ye Hua also picked up one, put it in the palm of her hand and looked at it again and again. After a moment of hesitation, she put it in her mouth. A slightly bitter taste spread in her mouth.
When you open it, you will be greeted by a piece of sweetness. Different from the strong fruity aroma of apricots, almonds give people a quiet and elegant feeling.
On the other side, Hua Mian was still talking, "Crush the almonds into small pieces like this" and gestured with his hand, "Then put it into the goat's milk. Roll the goat's milk through it twice and filter it once. Filter out the used almond residue.
