Chapter 245 Goat Milk Bread
After drying their hands and mouths, they sat back down at the table to eat.
Scoop a spoonful of thick broth and pour it over the millet rice. The broth slowly soaks into the rice, creating an appealing mix of golden and amber colors.
Scoop a spoonful of the broth, mix it with rice, and put it in your mouth. The salty and sweet soy sauce aroma is even stronger than the braised pig's trotters.

Occasionally, you'll bite into a soybean, which has been stewed until it's very soft and tender, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.
Millet grains are smaller, allowing them to absorb more flavorful broth, and they have a more unique flavor compared to regular rice.
When it gets a bit greasy, I'll pop a couple of small pieces of pickled vegetables into my mouth to cut through the oiliness and keep eating.
After eating a full bowl of millet rice mixed with broth, I continued to gnaw on the pig's trotters.
The five pairs of eyes on the ground were so intense that I couldn't ignore them.
The bones that had been gnawed on the table, along with the stubborn bits of meat, were all put under the table, where several dogs and kittens began to fight over them.
Tiedan is very clever. It can't eat big bones, so it only picks up small, round bones smaller than corn kernels and chews them in its mouth.
After I finished eating, I mixed the leftover soybeans and broth with a large amount of millet rice, making sure that every grain of rice was coated with oil but not too salty, and then poured it into the dog bowl.
The dogs pounced on their food bowls and began to gulp it down.
Tie Dan no longer needs special care like he did when he was a child; with his large truck-like size, squeezing in is no problem at all.
Tie Dan spat out the small bone in his mouth, mustered all his strength, and squeezed into the pile of dogs, nearly knocking over four of them.
Having secured his own little plot of land, Tiedan opened his mouth wide and took a big bite, swallowing quite a few grains of rice.
Sure enough, it must have some strength to get so fat.
A few years ago, Tiedan could catch some tits to eat by himself, but now he is too fat. He can no longer run slowly or climb trees, so he can no longer catch tits.
But it's okay, we keep it to catch mice.
Tiedan is very stubborn in his pursuit of food. Once he finds a mouse hole, he can squat there for a whole day and night, so his obesity does not affect his speed in catching mice.
The first thing I did when I got up the next day was to take the bamboo basket of raw soybeans to the sink to rinse them.
I lifted a corner of the towel slightly, and the soybeans inside were sprouting tiny buds, but they were still very small and needed to sprout for a few more days before they could be eaten.
Pour plenty of water into the bamboo basket to make sure it's clean so it doesn't get moldy or smelly.
Cover the washed bamboo basket with a cotton cloth and wait for it to sprout quietly.
With winter approaching, I won't want to use the outdoor oven anymore, so I'll bake bread and desserts one more time before winter arrives.
First, add plenty of firewood to the oven and light the fire to preheat it.
The milk powder we stocked up at home has long been used up, but now that we have sheep at home, we squeeze out some fresh sheep milk and mix it in when we make bread, and it tastes pretty good.
I patted the ewe's head to comfort her, then squatted down to squeeze out two small bottles of milk. I couldn't squeeze out much more, and the ewe's expression changed. I patted the ewe's head, picked up the bottles, and left.
There's nothing we can do; our owner is just that heartless.
To bake more bread, you need to prepare more ingredients.
Pour a bottle of goat milk into the flour, add some sugar, honey, and yeast, knead into a moist dough, cover it, and place it on a heated kang (a traditional heated platform) to ferment.
The heated kang (traditional heated brick bed) is quite warm now, so fermentation is very fast. Once the stove is preheated, the dough has already fermented.
I steamed a whole oven full of bread, and also made some goat milk cookies, goat milk biscuits, nut cookies, and other kinds of desserts.
After a busy morning, I harvested two large bags of bread and a bunch of jars of cookies.
Store them all in the back room in the refrigerator; they'll last for quite a while.
