The step of frying and drying is already quite difficult and time-consuming.
But if you want to compare it with grinding, it’s still a bit unsatisfactory.
Just thinking about it, you can tell how difficult grinding is.
Grinding anything is troublesome.
What's more, chocolate needs to be very delicate, how else can you enjoy the silky smoothness?
Ye Han is already ready and is about to start.
The two of them did not have a mortar, so they had to use a pot for grinding, and a clay pot was not suitable.
The first step is to mash the cocoa beans.
As for what to use to crush it, there is nothing suitable for this.
Finally, Ye Han thought about it and decided to use the raw jade stone.
The audience was shocked!
"What happened? Ye Han used raw jade stones to grind cocoa beans?"
"Good guy, I call you good guy, I don't know what to say other than that."
"Actually, this thing should be quite suitable. The shape of this rough jade stone is very suitable, and its appearance is very smooth under the erosion of the stream, and its weight is sufficient."
"Look, this rough jadeite stone happens to have a very flat area, suitable for crushing. You can crush cocoa beans!"
"I suspect that until the end of the game, this rough stone will be used by Ye Han to grind various things that need to be ground."
"It's really possible. Ye Han can definitely do something like this. It's almost equivalent to smashing walnuts with the national jade seal."
.............
The audience kept talking.
Some people use the imperial seal to smash walnuts to compare this incident, which is actually not very appropriate.
After all, the value of the Imperial Jade Seal is far beyond that of a piece of raw jadeite, even if the raw stone can produce imperial green.
It's not a level thing.
Some of the audience members who followed Ye Han in making chocolate also showed their special abilities at this time.
If someone has a wall breaking machine or even a grinder at home, then this step will be much easier.
If not, you can only grind it manually.
Then if you have a mortar, it's okay. If not, you can only find something else to replace it.
For example, put cocoa beans in a plastic bag, and then use a rolling pin or beer bottle to crush them.
Some experts will choose to step on it with their feet. Anyway, there is a plastic bag on the outside, so what are you afraid of?
Anyway, everyone has a way to crush roasted cocoa beans.
Ye Han and Su Xiaoqi have already started grinding the raw jade stones.
However, Ye Han didn't want to grind all the cocoa beans.
"Xiao Qi, all our cocoa beans are here."
"Don't look at the cocoa fruits that were harvested back then. But now that we have processed them at this stage, there are actually not many left."
"Grind part of it first this time, leave the rest, and grind it again next time you want to eat chocolate."
Ye Han said.
The reason for doing this is, on the one hand, it can reduce the workload, and on the other hand, it is also due to the characteristics of chocolate.
Chocolate tastes best if it is kept in the refrigerator and eaten out.
If the weather is hotter, the chocolate will melt easily.
Not to mention the current weather, this is in a tropical rain forest. If the chocolate is to be formed, it is probably necessary to use saltpeter to make ice.
If too much chocolate is made at one time, it is most likely to be a puddle of paste sitting there.
"Yeah, okay."
"If you cook less, you can eat it faster. Let's get started, boss!"
Su Xiaoqi said impatiently.
Ye Han smiled. Su Xiaoqi, this girl, has nothing on her mind right now. She just wants to eat chocolate quickly.
So he started grinding cocoa beans.
This step was mainly done by Ye Han. He took the jade stone and began to crush the cocoa beans in the pot.
Su Xiaoqi controlled the heat very well. Ye Han crushed a cocoa bean with a raw jade stone, and the cocoa bean turned into coffee-colored powder.
Of course, this is not quite uniform yet and needs to be continued grinding.
In the past, crushing the shell of cocoa beans was a stress-relieving thing.
And now grinding is also a stress-relieving thing.
Although Ye Han and Su Xiaoqi are not under any pressure now, they still feel very comfortable.
This also caused Su Xiaoqi to come and compete for the work. What else could Ye Han say? He handed the raw jade stone to Su Xiaoqi and asked her to grind it.
Ye Han was happy and free, sitting aside and watching Su Xiaoqi work.
"It feels very fun, I want to try it too!"
"It's really interesting. When I was a child, I liked grinding things, such as grinding chalk into ash and collecting it, or grinding the mouths of cans on the ground."
"I'm different. I like grinding tofu."
"Ah? As we all know, the word "motofu" has more than one meaning. Which meaning of "motofu" are you talking about?"
"Don't be ridiculous, I have followed Ye Han to this point, and I will be able to eat homemade chocolate soon!"
"I really envy you. You all have time to make your own chocolates, but I still have to sign hundreds of millions of orders with customers. Alas!"
"Haha, there are actually many explanations for hundreds of millions. Don't blame me for being dirty. It's you people who have problems and led me astray."
"Don't drive, you're speeding! You're speeding!"
...........
The live broadcast room was filled with a lot of discussions and crazy driving.
Some relatively pure people couldn't understand it, so they searched for it and suddenly felt that they were unclean.
At this time, while Su Xiaoqi was grinding cocoa beans, Yang Qingqing and Tang Hong finally took care of a tiger.
They got a tiger skin. It was a complete tiger skin with basically no injuries. It was considered to be of the highest quality, even better than the tiger skin that Ye Han got.
Then there is a big pile of tiger meat, already being smoked.
As for the tiger bones and internal organs, they threw them away and buried them, which can be said to be very luxurious.
"It's indeed a pity, but we can't take it with us so we have to throw it away."
Tang Hong shook her head and said.
If conditions permit, those internal organs and tiger bones can be kept, and they are also good things.
Now, I have no choice but to throw it away.
It is worth mentioning that this is a tigress, so she did not get a tiger whip.
"These gains are already a lot, Sister Hong."
"Let's retreat some distance later. We'll stop and rest at the place where we camped last night. We'll wait until you feel better before we move on."
Yang Qingqing added fuel to the campfire and said at the same time.
Tang Hong also nodded. This was something they had discussed. She was injured now, which affected some of her actions, and it was difficult to move forward.
And killing a tiger would take some time for both of them to calm down, and they are still at a stage where they have a lot of stamina.
Ye Han was like this at first, and it took a while.
"Boss, I feel it's almost done."
On Ye Han's side, Su Xiaoqi spoke to him.
At this time, all the cocoa beans in the pot have been ground into powder, and under Su Xiaoqi's continuous grinding, they have begun to become a little sticky and slightly liquefied.
"Well, the next step is to heat it over water and continue to grind it, and add sugar."
Ye Han nodded and said.
"Now you can have a taste. It's very, very bitter at this time. I don't know if you can bear it."
Ye Han continued with a smile.
Hearing Ye Han's words, Su Xiaoqi was a little unconvinced.
How miserable can it be?
She dipped her fingertips into it and put it in her mouth.
Then, Ye Han and the audience all saw that Su Xiaoqi's expression suddenly changed!
