Chapter 828: Changing Ejiao
Jing Ye, who was sent down as a representative, couldn't stop smiling. He pulled another old man, patted his chest and gave a thumbs up. The old man looked only seventy years old, and there were not even any wrinkles on his face. Compared with Jing Ye's face full of wrinkles, he looked much younger.
The old man also pulled Jingye aside and said, "Brother, your family is so outstanding and has made such a great contribution. I'll treat you all to dinner. Please do me the honor of coming to sit in my RV... If you don't come, you're looking down on me."
“This is so embarrassing…”
"Hey, let's do this. I'll take care of the food and you'll take care of the wine. I heard you have some special liquor collection at home?"
"Just a few bottles, brother. Now that you said so, I have to buy a whole bottle."
So for dinner, Jing Ye took the whole family to Family Caravan No. 3. Jing Shu was stunned to see the "old brother" Jing Ye mentioned. Was this really Jing Ye's "older brother" and not Jing Ye's "younger brother"? He was over 90 years old, looking like he was in his sixties or seventies. Although Jing Ye was also over 80 and had developed a second spring of teeth thanks to drinking the spiritual spring, his appearance didn't look much younger.
The body is indeed better, but Lingquan does not have the magic to restore youth. At most... it can make people stay in a certain stage. For example, the Jing family seems to be stuck in the same appearance as before the end of the world.
"This is my elder brother, Hongwu, and this is his son Yi." Master Jing introduced them in an obviously familiar manner.
The old man’s son is called Hong Lang, who is over 60 years old. In addition to his daughter-in-law, there is also his grandson Hong Jiaqi, who is in his 30s, and his granddaughter-in-law, as well as his 6-year-old great-grandson.
This family has one characteristic in common, which is that they look particularly young. Hong Lang, who is in his 60s, looks like he is in his 40s.
"Donkey milk is a good thing. Everyone in our family drinks a bowl of it every morning and evening, so our family members look more energetic than others. But I think Xiaojing's family is also very energetic. Xiaojing said that your family also drinks milk every day... Come on, try our fresh donkey milk." The old man said energetically.
"Come in first, it's cold outside!" The old man's son greeted him warmly.
Modified RV No. 3 was also quite crowded. As soon as you entered the door, you would see the modified wine rack. Just as Jing Ye said, there was a row of fully prepared donkey whip wine. On the left were shelves piled high with all kinds of pickled and processed donkey meat, as well as a whole row of smoked ham and the like.
Jingshu and her family just glanced at the full plate of donkey meat and followed them into the small living room on the right, where they took the bowls of fresh donkey milk brought by the old man's daughter-in-law.
Old Master Hong nodded after observing secretly: the family was very well-behaved after coming in, no one touched or stole anything, and there was no look of shock in their eyes, even their expressions were very calm, at most a little surprised and curious, which showed that this family was in very good condition, even... better off than them.
Jingshu's family came, including Jing's grandfather, Jing's grandmother, third aunt Jinglai, Wu Youai, mentor Chu Zhuohua, and Jingshu. Jing's mother and father were still busy with work.
With so many people, the RV seemed even more crowded and people could only stand on both sides. At this time, one person took the fresh milk handed to him by the old lady and drank it in one gulp. Different expressions appeared on everyone's face.
Old Master Hong continued to observe the family's behavior and clothing, and found that their clothes were very new and clean, without wrinkles or white marks from washing, and even had a faint smell of laundry detergent. He couldn't help but nod again.
"Donkey milk is best consumed at 40°C without boiling it. Its nutritional content is closest to breast milk. I don't know if you can get used to drinking it..." said Mr. Hong.
"If you can't even get used to donkey milk, there's nothing you can eat in this apocalypse." Grandpa Jing laughed, drank it in one gulp, and then gave a thumbs up.
Jingshu felt that the taste was a bit novel. The milk flavor was very light, not as strong as cow's milk, but a little sweet. The taste was indeed a bit like breast milk.
"Come, it's cold outside, eat some osmanthus sesame donkey-hide gelatin cake to warm yourself up."
Thin slices were quietly placed on the plate, dotted with yellow osmanthus flowers. Jing Shu picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. It was like eating sesame seeds, with the taste of sesame, osmanthus, donkey-hide gelatin, and maltose. It was very delicious.
It has a rich taste, is sweet when chewed, and a little sticky, so you need to lick it hard to swallow the residue.
It's just like mutton soup, it warms up the whole body.
Donkey-hide gelatin is indeed a good thing, especially in this cold and icy end of the world.
For dinner, Mr. Hong prepared a very sumptuous meal, which was simply a feast in the end times. In addition to the famous donkey meat hot bread as the staple food, there was also a large pot of donkey meat stewed in a casserole, and a large pot of donkey meat in a dry pot, accompanied by crispy donkey meat with red oil, donkey meat with sauce, etc. It was simply a donkey for the whole family.
"Everything can be cooked on fire. Everything in this pot can be added to the pancakes for dipping."
It’s a pity that this is not from Northeast China, otherwise it would be perfect with two scallions.
Master Jing not only brought some good wine, but also added two dishes, peanuts and chopped pepper eggs. Several old men squeezed around the narrow table by the window, eating peanuts, drinking some wine, and bragging, which seemed particularly rare in this doomsday.
Mr. Hong's granddaughter-in-law was a little reserved with her great-grandson, but his daughter-in-law, Aunt Sun, was very enthusiastic. She was the one who took care of everything in and out of the house.
"Aunt, your donkey-hide gelatin is really good. I wonder if you have any more? I want to exchange some for something." Jingshu took the opportunity to ask.
The taste of this donkey-hide gelatin is not amazing, and even if it is used to make these snacks, it is actually very ordinary, but the effect is amazing.
Jingshu has always been afraid of the cold. She was prone to frostbite in her previous life, and she still gets frostbite in this life. Whenever it gets cold, she gets frostbite. I think this donkey-hide gelatin will be of some use, and it's good to have some of this tonic on hand.
Aunt Sun smiled and said, "We're in this business. Ejiao is made from donkey hide, so how could we not have it? We sell it by the gram. Pure Ejiao flakes are expensive, about 30 times more expensive than meat. If you ask for it, we can help you make it with rice wine and other condiments, and make it into pastries. You can store it and eat it directly later."
"Generally speaking, 200 grams of donkey-hide gelatin can make one kilogram of cake. You should only eat two pieces a day, otherwise you will get a nosebleed."
"Aunt, what do you want from your family? I want to exchange it for 1 kilogram of donkey-hide gelatin. We will provide the auxiliary ingredients and make 5 different flavors." Jingshu counted on her fingers. There were many women in the family. If each of them ate 2 tablets a day, they would not be able to eat them for long.
"As you can see, we're not short of common food. It would be best if we had some common medicines, rare foods, or scarce supplies like cotton and down."
Jing Shu saw the modified clothes on the child and understood: "Aunt, I will give you 10 kilograms of cotton, 5 kilograms of duck down, and the 6 commonly used Chinese medicine pills from our pharmaceutical association, as well as the 1 kilogram of lotus root powder I gave you earlier, and a bottle of homemade white wine."
