Chapter 237 Ice Cream
The two of them brought Xiaohong with them, so they definitely couldn't all go back by car. One of them had to ride a horse.
Riding a horse is slower and less comfortable than driving a car. Mu Xi wanted to ride a horse himself, but he was not sure if Zhao Yeqing would drive.
She raised her eyebrows proudly, "I got C1, full marks in subject one and subject four, and passed all the practical exercises. Who are you looking down on?"
After testing the car's throttle and brakes and finding no problems in any way, Zhao Yeqing stepped on the accelerator, leaving Mu Xi with a face full of exhaust fumes.
Mu Xi could only climb onto his horse and follow from a distance.
Zhao Yeqing opened all the car windows to let in the heat. The wind blew his hair up and his body was slightly bumpy with the ride.
The shock absorption effect of this car is already quite good, but the seats are a bit uncomfortable and hard.
When she got home, she didn't know how far Mu Xi was left behind.
The drive from the tourist area to home was not very fast and only took an hour, but my back and waist were sore from sitting there.
I don’t know why such an expensive car can’t spend more time on the seat cushion. It’s too hard.
The trunk was not closed and the steel pipes were tied up. Zhao Yeqing untied the ropes on top and first removed the steel pipes that were in the way to the ground.
All the light and compact small appliances and pots, pans, and utensils should be moved into the house first.
By the time she finished moving the little things, Mu Xi had also arrived home.
"It could have been faster, but we were dragging a cart behind us, so we couldn't go any faster."
As he spoke, he carried the steel pipe on the ground into the house.
The original owner's house could still hold some space, so they put them here first and the two of them would consider how to use them later.
Zhao Yeqing took a sip of water and said, "I almost turned on the air conditioner in the car several times, but I couldn't bear to do it because it would waste too much fuel."
The car has a large displacement, so this amount of fuel is not enough to waste.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and she feels that if it continues like this, sooner or later she will not be able to bear it anymore and will have to turn on the air conditioner.
Among the things I moved back, there was an air-conditioning fan, which was an older model. There was a box underneath to put ice cubes or ice water. When I turned on the fan, the air that came out was cool.
Once the refrigerator is brought back, I can put ice cubes in the box of the air-conditioning fan, and this summer shouldn't be so unbearable.
Mu Xi rested for a while and planned to move the refrigerator back today while it was still light.
He has already set his eyes on a large double-door refrigerator that can hold 400 liters and consumes only a little over half a kilowatt-hour of electricity a day. It's just a little dirty, so it needs to be cleaned thoroughly.
Zhao Yeqing was waiting at home, wiping the things he brought back while waiting. Only after he finished wiping did he remember to turn on the two computers.
The good news is there are no passwords.
She opened all the folders and looked through them. Both computers seemed to belong to the girl. There were many photos and videos shot during the trip.
There was a machine with no entertainment content except photos and videos she had taken herself. Most of the content was work documents, which reminded her of the fear of being dominated by 996.
The other one is not like that. In addition to selfies, it is mostly used for various games, as well as many movies, animations and TV series, which almost fill up her 3T hard drive.
Zhao Yeqing was overjoyed and planned to watch a movie right away to show his respect.
Before dark, Mu Xi returned home, unloaded the refrigerator from the car, and placed it in the kitchen.
Zhao Yeqing was watching a movie in the room. She was so focused and the noise from the old fan caused her to not hear the noise in the kitchen until she finished watching the movie.
Mu Xi had already cleaned the refrigerator that he had moved back into the kitchen. The rotten food inside had been thrown away when he moved it back. Now the inside had been wiped clean and looked brand new, and he was opening the refrigerator door to let the smell out.
The wooden house kitchen, which is a bit shabby inside, has a white lacquered refrigerator that looks very eye-catching.
Zhao Yeqing saw it as soon as he entered the door. He took a few steps forward to take a look. There was still a little bit of smell that had not completely dissipated.
Mu Xi said: "It should be available tomorrow."
The refrigerator has a large freezer and refrigeration space. Mu Xi specially chose this one from several models. It is not the largest, but it has the lowest power consumption and is more energy-saving.
If it weren't for the purpose of getting rid of the smell, Zhao Yeqing would have wanted to make a drawer of ice cream right now.
There was still some charcoal left from burning in the winter, so Zhao Yeqing put two pieces in it to absorb the smell.
Adding new things to the house can make people happy for several days.
As soon as Zhao Yeqing got up, he checked the refrigerator to see if there was any smell. He sniffed everywhere and made sure there was no odor. Then he wiped it again with lemon-scented detergent and wiped it dry.
Then plug in the power and start it.
The fridge made a pleasant noise, which meant it was working successfully, which also meant her ice cream was already beckoning her.
Mu Xi handed her the freshly squeezed milk to make ice cream. Zhao Yeqing first froze two large boxes of ice cubes in the refrigerator, and then filled a small basin with water and put it in the freezer.
To make ice cream, you also have to boil the milk first.
After two months, you can no longer milk the cow. The cow must rest for two months before the next conception.
Zhao Yeqing boiled the milk and wondered whether he should freeze the unused milk during this period.
Practice makes perfect.
She tried freezing it overnight, and when she thawed it, she found that the whey in the milk had separated.
That means it can only be refrigerated. If that doesn't work, make some more butter, cheese, etc. and store them.
She took out the ice cream she had made yesterday from the refrigerator, which she added milk and freshly picked strawberries to.
The ice cream made from fresh milk is smooth and has a rich strawberry aroma. Who can resist eating icy cold strawberry milk ice cream in the 36-degree heat?
Neither she nor Mu Xi can do it.
I originally wanted to stop Zhao Yeqing from eating ice cream without having breakfast in the morning, but I didn't expect that after a bite of ice cream was stuffed in his mouth, he couldn't help but savor the delicious taste.
They each took a spoon and scooped out the ice cream in the bowl.
Zhao Yeqing used yesterday's ice cream recipe to make pure milk, milk strawberry, and milk chocolate ice cream.
The chocolate was found in the car. It had melted into liquid. I put it in the refrigerator yesterday and left it overnight, and it turned back into solid again.
She glanced at the expiration date and saw that it was only two months past its expiration date, so it wasn't a big deal.
Break the solidified chocolate into small pieces and mix them into the sweetened milk. Zhao Yeqing also upgraded it this time by adding some freshly made whipped cream from last night to make the milk flavor richer.
These are all the ingredients needed to make ice cream at home. Zhao Yeqing also wants to try soy milk, but the soybeans are all drying in the yard and have not been harvested yet.
In order to have food to eat tomorrow, the two waited until the sun was setting and the front yard was not exposed to direct sunlight, then they placed the soybeans on the cement floor of the yard and began to pound them.
