Chapter 146 Homemade Fresh Date Cherry Honey Shaved Ice
"Brother Youran, the weather is so hot. Why don't you eat some ice cream to cool down? I can't drink mung bean soup all the time. I've also finished eating the dates. I haven't bought any other snacks these days."
When Sun Xiaoying saw Li Youran frowning, she felt bad and quickly explained.
What a slanderous cat, Li Youran thought helplessly.
It seems that I have to think of another way. I have a lot of natural green raw materials, such as space water, honey, and dates. They are all good things. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to make ice cream by yourself? It's clean and hygienic.
tasty.
However, he then thought about it, making ice cream requires milk, whether it is fresh milk, milk powder or yogurt. This thing is now on the cusp of the limelight, no less than a red star, it makes
The various legendary events have supported countless newspapers and magazines, as well as various major and minor events.
Small formal and informal reporters and editors.
It's better not to dip it. We don't have the professional identification skills, so what can we make if we don't make ice cream? It has to be something that everyone likes in the summer.
By the way, ice cream also has another brother, shaved ice. This thing is good and easy to make. Just pour juice on the surface of the crushed ice, put some crushed fruit pieces, cherries and other ingredients. It tastes cool and delicious.
It’s really a great food to relieve the heat. I’ve had it several times in the past when the weather was hot, and I was very impressed.
At this point, Li Youran told Sun Xiaoying this idea, saying that there are still some dates and beeswax left, so he could freeze the special water into ice cubes, and then combine the first two things to make fresh fruit shaved ice. This must be very delicious, and if it is ready, it can be used in the future.
It has become a regular snack in the store and can be enjoyed at any time.
When Sun Xiaoying heard this, excitement suddenly appeared on her face. She had tasted all the things Li Youran mentioned. They were all made from the best raw materials and combined together. It was a great idea.
Just thinking about it makes people look forward to it.
"Okay, okay, let's make shaved ice right away. I'll never buy ice cream outside again." Sun Xiaoying stood up impatiently and started to walk out.
"Why are you so anxious? You're still at work, why do you lead your employees like this?" Li Youran reached out to stop her and lectured her.
"Sister Cuihuā is watching from the front. Didn't you say you should trust your subordinates?" Sun Xiaoying blinked and pretended to be confused.
"You're a slanderous girl, but you want to be lazy. You need to prepare a lot of things to make shaved ice. Even freezing the ice cubes takes several hours. Why are you in a hurry? Go to work honestly. I'll prepare it after dinner."
After Li Youran finished speaking, he motioned for Sun Xiaoying to return to work, and then went out to prepare for work.
Li Youran first went to the kitchen, found a medium-sized stainless steel basin, washed it and put it under the faucet. He turned his body sideways to cover the faucet, guided the water from the spatial stream with his fingers, and poured it into the basin.
After filling more than half of the basin with water, he stopped guiding, then put the stainless steel basin into the refrigerator outside the kitchen to freeze it.
The Baozi Shop currently does not sell cold drinks, so there is no shaved ice machine or anything like that.
Next, he went to the logistics department and opened a purchase order, entrusting the purchase of a household shaved ice machine and juicer, plus some fresh oranges and a few cherries.
After arranging these things, Li Youran walked to his office. When passing by the financial office, he was stopped by Gu Weiwei and asked him about the vegetable payment.
In order to conceal the true origin of the vegetables and prevent possible visits from interested persons, he now drives around in a Jinbei car every time, loading the space vegetables in the carriage and bringing them back.
But you always have to pay for things. As for the payment, he explained to Gu Weiwei that the supplier had a good relationship with him. He didn’t have to pay every time and could settle the bill once a month. The price would be based on the official vegetable wholesale price for that month.
Calculating twice the average market price, Aunt Qi was responsible for counting the quantity, calculating the amount, and reporting it to the finance department. Li Youran provided the bank card account number. This was a personal account he opened at the bank alone, and he just asked the finance department to transfer the payment.
Li Youran then remembered that it was time for settlement again. He signed his name on the payment application form and handed it back to Gu Weiwei.
Returning to his room, he locked the door, brewed a jar of West Lake Longjing tea, and then went into the space to enjoy the cool air.
The temperature and humidity inside the space are always so suitable, making you feel comfortable and in sharp contrast to the sultry climate outside.
First, he went to do some work in the fields, and then directed Ang Ang's animal workers to rain water. After receiving the order, Ang Ang ran to the stream to drink enough water, then returned to the vegetable field, raised his head and sprayed water into the air, and the water column shot to more than ten meters above the ground.
The height of the water dispersed into a sheet of water droplets, dripping down, evenly watering a vegetable patch. This went back and forth.
Li Youran sometimes feels strange. Ang Ang doesn't have a big belly, but the water storage capacity is quite amazing. I really don't know what the principle is. But since even space, a thing that defies heaven, exists, then other things seem to be weird.
There's nothing hard to accept. It's just not worth the trouble.
After finishing, he walked to the stream and washed his hands and feet. He also carried the palm mat and bamboo mat placed at the edge of the space and spread them by the stream. He picked up the teapot and drank a few sips, then lay down comfortably, in order not to
I overslept and set the alarm on my phone to a different time.
The stream was singing a cheerful ditty and the breeze was blowing on his face. It was a perfect place to cool off and escape the heat. He soon became sleepy, his right hand caressed the back of Nian Nang who was lying next to him, and soon he fell asleep.
He slept until 6:30 in the afternoon, when the alarm on his cell phone rang, and Li Youran woke up from his dream.
He packed up his things, put the palm mat and bamboo mat back in place, then patted his head and nose to say goodbye to it, and left the space.
After going downstairs to have dinner, it was already past seven o'clock. There were no classes tonight, so Li Fangcheng was naturally not here and went to play games.
Sun Xiaoying urged Li Youran to make shaved ice. Li Youran teased her a few words, then came to the kitchen with a honey bottle and fresh dates.
The guy from the logistics department has already bought a household ice shaver and juicer, which are placed on the kitchen shelf. There is also a bag of fresh oranges weighing five or six kilograms and more than a kilogram of cherries.
"Xiaoying, you first wash the oranges, cherries and jujubes, then cut the oranges in half and remove the pits from the jujubes." Li Youran assigned the work first.
Sun Xiaoying hummed and took the stainless steel basin to wash the oranges and jujubes.
Li Youran unpacked the shaved ice machine and juicer and read the instructions. The assembly work was very simple and was completed in a short time.
Then open the refrigerator door and take out the frozen hard ice cubes.
Sun Xiaoying had already washed the oranges, placed them on the cutting board and cut them, and then started to remove the date stones.
"Squeeze the juice from the oranges later." Li Youran said to Sun Xiaoying.
He took a manganese steel kitchen knife and smashed the large ice cubes with the back of the knife. Then he opened the top cover of the ice shaving machine and placed the ice cubes in the ice shaving bucket. Then he closed the top cover, placed the measuring cup underneath, and held it with his hand.
Hold the handle and turn the handle clockwise. You will hear a squeaking sound as the ice cubes are cut into fine pieces and fall into the measuring cup at the bottom.
Shaved ice can basically be divided into three categories: sanded ice, crushed ice and shaved ice. Sanded ice is the most delicate ice and you need to drink it with a straw. Crushed ice is slightly thicker but chewy, and shaved ice is thicker.
Li Youran chose medium-thick crushed ice, which had just the right taste.
After a while, the measuring cup was filled with crushed ice as white as snow. He prepared two large plates and scooped the crushed ice into the plates with a spoon, so that the basic ingredients were ready.
Sun Xiaoying's side is also finished.
So, the making of shaved ice officially started. First, pour diluted honey on the plate, then pour freshly squeezed orange juice, add jujube cubes, cherries, and two plates of white, yellow, and red fruits with bright colors.
Shaved ice is freshly baked.
It looks good and is quite attractive. Sun Xiaoying couldn't help but take action first, scoop up a spoonful with a small spoon, flip it over and put it into her mouth, touching the front of it to the middle of her tongue. After filling her mouth with shaved ice, she lightly pursed her lips to enjoy the fragrance and sweetness of the shaved ice.
, the fine, cool, sandy multi-layered flavor spreads between the entire spring teeth, and the aroma of fruit continues to penetrate into the nose. Coupled with the chilled jujube chunks and cherries, all kinds of flavors come together, and it is extremely rich.
.
It was so delicious, much better than the ice cream bought on the street. Sun Xiaoying swallowed the spoonful of shaved ice and immediately scooped up another spoonful.
When Li Youran saw that the little girl was eating so deliciously, he couldn't help but feel excited and found a spoon to try it out.
After being warned, he could no longer hold his tongue like the little girl.
"Come on, Aunt Niu Qi, Uncle Qi, and the others should come and have a taste," Li Youran said. Of course, good things must be shared with everyone.
Sun Xiaoying responded, eating the shaved ice on a plate and looking for someone else.
Taking advantage of this gap, Li Youran continued to shake the handle of the shaved ice machine. The white crushed ice quickly filled the measuring cup at the bottom. He took out three plates, scooped out the crushed ice residue in the measuring cup, spread it all over the plate, and repeated the process just now.
It only takes two minutes to make three plates of fresh fruit shaved ice.
Uncle Qi, Aunt Qi, Zhao Cuihuā, and Feng Daniu were all invited to gather in the kitchen to share the ice and snow feast.
When you put the shaved ice in your mouth, everyone felt so good that it was refreshing and refreshing.
The three plates of shaved ice were quickly wiped out. Everyone started talking about it, saying that this way of eating ice is simple and delicious, the raw materials are easy to find, and a variety of varieties can be developed. Some said that strawberries and mangos could be added, and some said that they could add strawberries and mangoes.
It talks about adding pineapple, lemon, chocolate, durian, kiwi, watermelon slices, etc. Anyway, almost any fruit can be used, juice it, cut it into cubes, plus red bean paste, mung bean paste
There are dozens of varieties available everywhere.
Sun Xiaoying's eyes were filled with stars when she heard that, and she vowed never to go out to buy ice cream again. There were so many kinds of ice cream, and even if she rotated them every day, she would probably have to eat them until autumn.
There was no food on the plate, so she secretly went to the ice cone and scooped out a few more spoons, hoping to make more.
But this little move was not clever, and Li Youran discovered it in time and stopped it quickly.
"You slanderous girl, you can't eat enough in such a big plate. Do you want to have a stomachache at night or something?
I’ll do it tomorrow, it’s not like there’s nothing left.” Sun Xiaoying had no choice but to put the big plate back on the countertop with a little pout. (To be continued.!.
