Chapter 125
"Try one." Xiao Yue noticed his gaze and said. …
"Try one." Xiao Yue noticed his gaze and said.
There was a hint of doubt in Fu Xunzhou's eyes. Seeing that Xiao Yue just raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything, he hesitated for two seconds, picked up the bamboo stick next to him and poked the white thing.
Maybe he used too much force, or maybe he didn't realize how soft it was, and a slight insertion of the bamboo stick took away two pieces.
Fu Xunzhou paused, lowered his eyes and put it into his mouth.
It is soft in the mouth, softer than expected, and melts in the mouth like chewing cotton. Then it hits the teeth from the tip of the tongue, leaving a light sweet aftertaste.
Fu Xunzhou put down the bamboo stick and looked at Xiao Yue beside him.
"This is cotton candy." Xiao Yue explained with a smile: "You haven't eaten it before, right? Is it delicious?"
"tasty."
Xiao Yue was satisfied with this answer. When she was about to pour the marshmallows into the pot, a hand stopped her.
Fu Xunzhou picked up another piece with a bamboo stick and quietly put it to her mouth.
"I……"
Xiao Yue wanted to say she didn't want to eat it, but when she noticed Fu Xunzhou's expression, she opened her mouth and ate it anyway.
A low laugh came from her ear, and she coughed lightly, swallowing the soft sweetness in her mouth.
After that, Xiao Yue stopped talking and concentrated on making the snowflake crisps.
She made the original flavor, planning to make a little first for everyone to taste tonight, and then start making stock tomorrow.
After the butter in the pan melted, Xiao Yue poured in the marshmallows.
Marshmallows are naturally sweet and melt when heated, transforming from fluffy to a white round cake in a matter of moments.
Xiao Yue flipped it with a spatula, and it almost fell down softly as soon as it was piled up, and quickly melted into a ball.
That's about the extent.
Xiao Yue picked up the light-colored milk powder beside her and continued to pour it in.
The taste of milk powder is mellower than that of milk. As it is heated over low heat and stirred, the rich flavor gradually emerges.
At this time, you can remove the firewood and use the residual heat to mix all the remaining ingredients evenly.
Crispy biscuits, sweet and sour cranberries, chewy nuts, and the indispensable dried strawberries... But at this step, you can just add whatever you like, there is no need to be too particular.
Xiao Yue prepared some snowflake puffs of various flavors, thinking they would be very popular.
While thinking, Xiao Yue stirred the ingredients in the pot.
The marshmallow is very stretchy after it melts. It looked like a pool of white cake before, but now all the ingredients have stuck together and are covered with a layer of light white.
Xiao Yue took out a flat plate at the right time, sprinkled a layer of milk powder on it, and moved a large ball of unformed snowflake crisps out and placed it inside.
Then squeeze and knead it with your hands, roll it flat with a rolling pin, and finally sprinkle it with milk powder and let it sit until it solidifies.
You know what, this plate is quite a lot, enough for tonight.
Xiao Yue wiped his hands and turned around to find Fu Xunzhou looking at him.
She hesitated for a moment and asked, "You're still sore, want another marshmallow?"
Fu Xunzhou shook his head.
What's the meaning?
Xiao Yue was puzzled, but she felt relieved knowing that he had recovered.
As a patient, you still have to eat evenly and not eat too much sour or spicy food.
but……
Xiao Yuehuan leaned against the cabinet behind her and suddenly said, "You are actually feeling much better now, right?"
"Yeah." Fu Xunzhou replied: "I haven't had any symptoms for a long time."
Xiao Yue nodded and said meaningfully, "That's good. Speaking of which... you ate more than just the food I cooked tonight."
"I know."
really.
Xiao Yue smiled and moved closer to him: "I'm glad to know. Then I'll tell you straight away, it's not that you can only eat the food I cook, but because..."
Fu Xunzhou held his breath and saw her thick eyelashes fluttering, and a dark color appeared in his eyes.
"Why?"
Xiao Yue didn't notice, she just stared at him and said, "The ingredients in my store are different."
The kitchen was quiet for a moment.
Seeing that Fu Xunzhou didn't react much, Xiao Yue stepped back a little, but unexpectedly he suddenly raised his hand to hold her arm, and then took the initiative to move closer to her.
"Really?" Fu Xunzhou said seriously, "But I think it's not just the ingredients, the people who made it in the beginning are different."
This is what is truly different.
It’s not that as long as you have cooking skills, you can make a meal with “special ingredients”.
These are the same things to Fu Xunzhou, except for the people.
Xiao Yue was stunned, something strange passed through his mind, and he forgot to speak for a moment.
Until Fu Xunzhou lowered his eyes and raised his hand, as if wanting to touch her cheek.
Xiao Yue suddenly came to his senses and took a few steps back in panic.
"There's powder on your face." Fu Xunzhou tilted his head to look at her, his hand still suspended in mid-air.
“…”
Xiao Yue closed his eyes, brought the large plate of snowflake crisps, and strode out.
The summer breeze blows in the courtyard and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.
Xiao Yue walked to the table, put down the snowflake crisps, slowly raised her hand to wipe it, and actually wiped off some milk powder.
When did you get it dirty? !
“Big sister!”
At this time, Xu Qingwu pulled Xiao Lian over, as if she wanted to ask something, but when she saw her, she tilted her head and said, "Big sister, are you hot? Your face is so red!"
Xiao Yue: “…”
"Xiao Wu." Xiao Lian quickly squatted down, glanced at the man coming out of the kitchen, then looked at Xiao Yue, and said shyly: "Xiao Wu wants to ask, what delicious food did my sister make in the kitchen just now?"
The two of them were playing around in the yard and could always smell a tempting milky aroma.
Xiao Yue took a deep breath and replied with a smile: "I made some snowflake crisps, it's a good opportunity for you to try them first."
The time was almost up, Xiao Yue found a long and sharp knife and pointed it at the snow-flake crisps on the plate.
When the knife cuts, there is a crisp sound.
There is the rustling sound of cutting cotton, as well as the snapping sound of cutting nuts and biscuits. The cross-section looks colorful and varied, with a little bit of crumbs and milk powder scattered around.
"Wow!" Xu Qingwu clapped her hands enthusiastically, her eyes shining.
Xiao Lian, who was standing by, was also very excited. She saw Xiao Yue cut it horizontally and then cut it vertically again.
Evenly sized pieces of snowflake crisps appeared on the plate, smelling full of milk.
Xiao Yue gave each of them one, then took out a smaller plate and placed the snowflake crisps one by one on it, preparing to serve them over.
But before she could reach out her hand, Fu Xunzhou picked it up before her.
Fang Sanhong and others had already cleared the table and started playing cards. It looked very lively.
Everyone said that the after-meal dessert made by Xiao Yue was delicious.
But at this moment, the cards in your hand are more important.
Xiao Yue looked at her solemnly for a while, then smiled, patted Sun Wen on the shoulder, and took her place.
A quarter of an hour later.
Fu Xunzhou watched with his own eyes Xiao Yue go from sitting down to play cards with full confidence, to carefully selecting the losing cards, and finally having a look of confusion on his face.
"Xiao Yue." Fu Xunzhou was silent for a moment: "You..."
"Come again!"
Xiao Yue thought back to the defeat in the last round and refused to believe it.
Fang Sanhong, who sat at the same table, smiled, glanced at Fu Xunzhou who was rubbing his brow, then looked at Xiao Yue, sorted out the cards and said, "Come on, I'll make you cry when I lose."
Did I cry because of my loss?
Xiao Yue said hehe.
A quarter of an hour later.
Xiao Yue said no.
Sometimes, it’s okay to cry a little...
no!
Xiao Yue looked around and found Fu Xunzhou next to him. He said angrily, "You come to play, why am I always so bad at playing cards!"
Fu Xunzhou opened his mouth, then closed it again, and sat in her seat within her sight.
A quarter of an hour later.
Xiao Yue: “…”
Xiao Yue: "You guys go ahead and play, I suddenly remembered that the fire in my room was not turned off."
Everyone laughed.
Of course Xiao Yue didn't really want to leave, but someone seemed to misunderstand and grabbed her wrist.
Fu Xunzhou: "I'll teach you."
Xiao Yue's body stiffened. He felt the warmth from his hands and had no idea how to sit down again, how to take the cards, or how to play the cards.
It wasn't until he won the first hand that Xiao Yue came to his senses.
“Come again!!”
Fu Xunzhou nodded, and then sat almost next to her and gave her personal guidance.
Fang Sanhong: “…”
Oh.
——
A few days later, the snowflake crisps with rich taste became the second most popular snack in Yueting’s self-service snacks, second only to spicy strips.
Many women and men like the taste, not to mention that the snowflake crisps are provided for free in the queue room.
Almost 80% of people don't dislike milk-flavored products.
So before noon that day, Xiao Yue started tinkering in the yard again.
Today she plans to make another dairy product, which is soft and delicate, and truly melts in your mouth - double skin milk.
This is both a small dessert and a cold drink at the end of summer.
The method is not difficult. Xiao Yue feels that the only difficulty lies in... choosing the container.
It can't be too big or too small, and the color and pattern should be slightly suitable.
So Xiao Yue stood in front of the cupboard and searched through it for a long time, but couldn't find anything that suited his taste.
It was not until she saw several unopened boxes covered with waterproof cloth in the corner that she remembered that they were the rewards for the Zhihuai Festival.
Before, Xiao Yue asked Su Xiaoxiao and Sun Wen to take the drawings to the porcelain kiln outside the city to select and customize them. The other party delivered them very quickly, but they had no time to open them and take a look.
Xiao Yue squatted down and reached out to open all the boxes.
Because of the uniqueness of the store, these are naturally customized in batches, and almost every box contains exactly the same bowls and plates.
Xiao Yue remembered that there was a drawing with a pattern of elegant daisies...
Found it!
When opening the third box, Xiao Yue picked up the palm-sized, round square bowl inside.
It has only one side printed with small daisies the size of water droplets, and the rim of the bowl is a circle of thick dark green, which looks chic and beautiful.
If it is filled with double skin milk, it will echo the color of daisy petals.
Then use this steamed double skin milk!
Xiao Yue took out all the bowls from the box and put them into the dishwasher, and they were washed in no time.
She placed them one by one on the table and counted them carefully. There were about two hundred of them, enough for alternating use. *
While Xiao Yue was arranging things, Su Xiaoxiao and Sun Wen came to help.
After all the bowls were put away, Xiao Yue told them to pour the milk into them.
This step is simple but lengthy because you need to control the amount in each bowl.
Rows of square bowls are filled and then put into the steamer. When they are steamed and cooled, a layer of tender yellow milk skin will appear on them.
Xiao Yue: "This layer of milk skin is the key to success. Be careful not to let it fall when pouring the milk out..."
As she spoke, she began to operate.
This step is similar to the previous one, but you need to be more careful.
The poured milk is just the right temperature, almost filling two basins. The next step is to add salt, sugar, and beaten egg whites, mix everything evenly, filter it, and pour it back into the bowl.
After going back and forth like this, Su Xiaoxiao and Sun Wen's hands were sore. Seeing that Xiao Yue remained calm, they could only work harder to continue pouring the milk.
"Okay, just steam it for another half a minute and it will be done!" Xiao Yue closed the steamer door and waited patiently.
Double skin milk can be tasted in its original flavor or with some added ingredients.
Nowadays, there are countless small ingredients in the store, and there is even a special table for them.
There are fruits, nuts, tapioca pearls, and even biscuit crumbs.
At that time, the double skin milk will be placed on the table, and customers can eat it however they want.
