The dishes made by Wang Mengmeng and Liu Yao tasted okay and were considered successful, but there were a few too many bubbles. No, not just a few, there were so many bubbles that even people with trypophobia would get cravings.
After finishing her meal, Liu Yao looked at the small bowl of ice jelly she had made with a hint of disdain. "Why does my ice jelly look so much like snot? I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
"Don't tell me, please. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat tonight."
Wang Mengmeng quickly covered Liu Yao's mouth, looking uncomfortable. She didn't dare to look at the ice jelly made by Liu Yao, nor did she dare to look at the one she made herself.
Because the ice jelly she made herself had a lot of bubbles, after Liu Yao said that, the sight of the two small bowls of ice jelly made her involuntarily bring the words into her mind and imagine it.
For Wang Mengmeng, who has a mild obsession with mysophobia, this thought is really terrible.
Suddenly, there is a bowl of ice jelly with its own unique image.
This is not just a matter of life and death for those with mysophobia, it's a matter of life and death for everyone.
Ning Xiyue looked at the ice jelly they made, which was densely packed with bubbles. There were more bubbles than in Sprite that had been shaken for an hour, and it seemed as if there were thousands of little eyes inside.
She successfully put the images of snot and thousands of small eyes into her mind and imagined a three-dimensional picture.
Ning Xiyue, who possesses hyperthymesia and a photographic memory, felt truly despair when she looked at the two pots of ice jelly.
Suddenly, goose bumps appeared all over my body and I shivered.
I quickly imagined beautiful pictures in my mind to cleanse my brain, and quickly took out the picture of Comrade Ji wearing a handsome military uniform from my bag to cleanse my eyes, and only then did I temporarily drive away the picture.
Chen Yechu also slapped his forehead and smiled helplessly: "Damn it, I'm going to eat the ice jelly made by Xiyue tonight."
"I also want to eat the ice jelly made by Xiyue. I don't want to eat the one I made myself." Wang Mengmeng covered the ice jelly she made with disgust.
"Add me in, this pot I made has even more bubbles than Mengmeng's. I can't eat it anymore."
As the person who brought up this issue, Liu Yao couldn't bear to look at her own ice jelly.
Ning Xiyue didn't expect that the ice jelly she made for the first time was so popular not because of its taste, but because of its appearance.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I could only give them a look of amused anger.
"You all eat what I cook, so who will eat what you two cook for?"
When the two of them looked embarrassed, Chen Yechu suddenly had an idea and looked at them and made constructive suggestions.
"Why don't you give it to the gay men? They didn't hear what Yaoyao said, and they don't have that image in their minds. One bowl for each of the two brothers is just right."
Chen Yechu picked up the ice jelly made by the two of them and shook it.
"Luckily, you two didn't make much ice jelly. One bowl can hold two bowls of ice jelly. Then give them each a bowl. No need to divide it. Just add the ingredients to this bowl and give them a large portion. The three of us can eat what's in Xiyue's bowl, so there's no need to worry about waste."
Liu Yao was so happy that she flattened the small glutinous rice balls she had just rolled into balls with her palm: "That's it, this big pot made by Xiyue is more than enough for us to eat."
"Sure." Wang Mengmeng nodded, then looked at Ning Xiyue in confusion: "By the way, Xiyue, why are there so few bubbles in the ice jelly you made? Is there any reason?"
After saying the last sentence, he looked at Chen Yechu, the "teacher", for an answer.
Chen Yechu hurriedly shook his head:
"Don't look at me. I actually just succeeded in making it yesterday. I only know a little more than you do. Being able to teach you how to make ice jelly successfully is already the happiest thing for me, but making it perfectly is difficult for me."
The three of them turned their eyes to Ning Xiyue, to see if she knew anything.
Ning Xiyue crossed her hands in front of her as if to block the view, then put her hands down after finding it very funny.
"Don't look at me. I vaguely know why there are so many bubbles, but I'm not sure. But you can give it a try next time."
After making ice jelly three times, Ning Xiyue realized that in order to make ice jelly with fewer bubbles, the cloth bag containing the ice jelly seeds must be completely submerged in cold boiled water and rubbed. The less contact with air, the fewer bubbles will be.
This was the result of her observation and was also judged based on her known knowledge. This should be the reason.
"Tell me how you did it." Chen Yetu asked this question on behalf of the other two.
"Both of their basins were too small, and there wasn't much water, so when they were making ice jelly, the cloth bag containing the ice jelly seeds was mostly exposed to the air. The more it came into contact with the air, the more bubbles there were in the ice jelly."
Ning Xiyue pointed to her own bowl of ice jelly and continued, "This bowl of ice jelly has fewer bubbles because I use more raw materials, there is more water in the bowl, and I basically knead it under the water."
Of course, hand-rubbed ice jelly will inevitably have bubbles, which is normal. Without bubbles, there is no soul.
Ning Xiyue didn't say this out loud. This was the feeling she got from eating many bowls of ice jelly in her previous life. Ice jelly without bubbles was made by mixing ice jelly powder with water. It looked like a rubber compound and seemed to be the work of a great technologist.
Not only was it not as delicious as the ones she kneaded by hand, she couldn't even get over it in her mind and found it difficult to swallow.
So every time she eats it, she only eats the ice jelly with bubbles, which means that it is definitely made from real ice jelly seeds, not the high-tech ice jelly powder mixed with water.
Ning Xiyue looked at her three friends who were lost in thought and nodded firmly: "That's probably it. Think about it yourselves, did you lift it out of the water and rub it when you did it?"
Liu Yao and Wang Mengmeng suddenly understood.
"It seems like that. Then I know what to do next time. I'll try it tomorrow."
Chen Yechu nodded repeatedly: "I did put the ice powder under water to rub it yesterday, so this must be the reason."
Ning Xiyue looked at the dough on the table, then checked the time, and waved her hand, saying, "These are not important. Let's quickly roll the small glutinous rice balls. Making taro balls is more important."
I will feel at ease if I get the summer gift package as soon as possible.
"Yes, yes, yes. When making glutinous rice balls, use more taro paste. This tastes delicious."
The three of them woke up from a dream and went back to their work, no longer paying attention to the three pots of ice jelly that had already been divided and eaten.
In the evening, after Ning Qingyuan bought the ice cream and popsicles, Ning Xiyue used the exclusive ice cream that her second brother brought her to make the first bowl of ice jelly with complete ingredients to complete the sign-in task.
"Tongzi?"
"Ding, the check-in task has been successfully completed. Congratulations to the host for lighting up the ice powder making skill and obtaining the summer gift pack. It has been placed in the system backpack. Please check it in time."
"Ding, a message is coming now. The host uploads the detailed secret recipe for making ice jelly to the learning center, and you will get a chance to win a super big wheel lottery."
Nice!
