Chapter 523 Handmade Old Ice Jelly



The sun was scorching at noon. After delivering lunch to Lingchuan, Yun Mo did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she asked Lingchuan to buy three bowls of ice jelly to cool down.

The ice jelly of this era is very average in appearance and taste. Even the brown sugar water is not pure brown sugar, but three parts brown sugar and seven parts saccharin, giving you a strong taste of technology when you eat it.

Yun Mo has always been picky about food, so she reluctantly drank two sips and then put it down.

After Ling Chuan finished his own ice jelly, he took Yun Mo's ice jelly, which she had only taken two sips of, and was ready to finish it all, but Yun Mo stopped him.

"Don't drink it, it's all ice. Drinking too much is bad for your health."

After all, Zeng Fang grew up in this era and had not witnessed the top-notch flavors of later generations. She held the ice bowl and drank with relish.

"Drinking ice jelly in the summer is a heavenly enjoyment. I wish I could drink three bowls a day."

Yun Mo held her chin and looked at her friend, her tone unconsciously revealing a hint of disgust.

"If you can drink three bowls of this kind of ice jelly, then if I make you the authentic old ice jelly, wouldn't you drink it from morning to night?"

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

Zeng Fang's eyes were almost full of stars. "Momo, can you make ice jelly? Come on, let's go home and try it now."

Yun Mo was a little speechless, "Aren't you eating?"

Zeng Fang looked down at the empty bowl of ice powder and threw it into the trash can without hesitation, "How can this garbage compare to your cooking skills?"

“…”

That's not what you said just now. You said drinking this bowl of ice jelly is a divine enjoyment.

The weather was too hot and Yun Mo was too lazy to make any progress, but Ling Chuan wanted to join in the fun.

"Wife, I want to eat the ice jelly you made, too."

Okay, her strength doesn't allow her to give up.

To make a bowl of delicious ice jelly, the raw materials must be rich and high-quality enough. When it comes to the richness of food raw materials, Ronghua’s R&D department is definitely second to none.

Yun Mo first contacted Luo Xuelan by phone using her mobile phone, and then took Zeng Fang to take a taxi to Ronghua Company.

In the car, Zeng Fang was studying the brick-like mobile phone over and over again.

"Momo, doesn't your mobile phone need to be plugged into a telephone line?"

"Well, it uses wireless mobile communication technology. You can also think of it as an upgraded version of the telegraph."

Zeng Fang suddenly realized, and could not hide the excitement and curiosity on her face. "This should be very expensive, right? Momo, how much did you spend on it?"

"My dad gave it to me."

"Your dad?!"

Zeng Fang seemed to have heard some Arabian Nights fairy tale, her eyes widened like two longans, "You are not talking about Yun Shixian, are you? Did he take the wrong medicine?"

Yun Mo sneered, "How could it be him? He doesn't deserve such a good thing."

"He's my biological father. I just recognized him a few days ago..."

In the taxi, Yun Mo didn't feel comfortable saying too much, so she simply talked about how she and Shao Lin met.

Zeng Fang was surprised and depressed at the same time. "Momo, are we still good friends? You didn't even tell me earlier that you found your biological father. If I had known he was leaving today, I would have gone with him to see him off. That way, he would know that I am your best friend!"

Yun Mo couldn't help laughing, "I didn't say it because I didn't want to affect your college entrance examination. Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future."

"Then next time we meet, you must introduce me to him as your best friend."

"OK."

Zeng Fang lowered her head and played with the mobile phone in her hand for a while, then suddenly raised her head as if she remembered something, "Ah, Momo, what does your father look like? Is he handsome? Do you have a photo of him?"

"In my study. I'll show it to you when I get back."

"Then let's go back now!"

"You don't want to eat ice jelly anymore?"

"Uh..." Zeng Fang struggled for two seconds, "Then let's go eat some ice jelly first, and then we'll go back to your house to look at the photos!"

Only children make choices, adults of course want them all.

Luo Xuelan was out meeting a client and was not in the company. The two were received by Luo Xuelan's secretary Dong Jie.

Yun Mo and Xie Xia had come to the company several times, and Dong Jie was very familiar with her.

"Ms. Yun, please come this way. Vice President Luo has already made arrangements. He said that when you arrive, he will take you directly to the R&D department. You can take whatever materials you need."

"Thank you for your help, Secretary Dong."

"You're welcome, Miss Yun. By the way, you just finished the college entrance examination, right? Congratulations in advance on your success."

"Thanks."

Ronghua is a food company, and its R&D department is not like an ordinary business company with desks and documents. Instead, it is more like a huge dessert kitchen.

The R&D laboratory covers an area of ​​more than 500 square meters. It is completely sealed and adopts sterile and dust-free operations. All R&D personnel entering and leaving must be sterilized and disinfected, and wear sterile work clothes, head covers, foot covers and masks.

Dong Jie was busy with her own work, so she found a new employee who had just joined the R&D department to be Yun Mo's assistant.

The new employee was a young woman who had a sense of superiority. She sneered at Yun Mo for going to so much trouble to come here just to make a bowl of ice jelly.

"The R&D department is the core of the entire company. Each of our R&D staff has a very heavy workload. If you girls want to play, just go back home. I don't know why you're causing trouble here!"

Zeng Fang had a bad temper and she just retorted back.

"What does your workload have to do with us? If you think we are affecting your work, why didn't you say anything when Secretary Dong was here? You are picking on the weak, right? I tell you, you are making a wrong calculation! Open your eyes and see clearly. The person next to me is a pastry chef who cooperates with Ronghua! The snowflake crisps that are popular all over the country this year are her idea. You are a R&D staff of Ronghua. What great achievements and products do you have?"

Because of the hood and mask, Yi Fang could only see half of his forehead and eyes.

But from her eyes, it can be seen that the young woman was shocked that Yun Mo was the developer of Snow Flake Crisp.

"You, are you really the developer of Snowflake Crisp?"

Yun Mo smiled and said, "It's me. I don't need an assistant. You just need to tell me where to get the materials and tools."

After learning of Yun Mo's identity, the young woman put away her contempt, took Yun Mo to find an empty workbench, and helped get the materials and tools Yun Mo needed.

After everything was prepared, the young woman did not leave, but stood aside, obviously wanting to watch Yun Mo make food.

Yun Mo ignored her and directly took out the ice jelly seeds bought from a vendor selling ice jelly and prepared to rub it into ice jelly.

The key to hand-kneading ice jelly is to have small bubbles, so that the taste will be chewy and smooth.

Add 250g of water to 5g of edible lime, stir and let stand.

Then put 50g of cleaned ice powder seeds into a gauze bag, add one liter of mineral water, and then rub the ice powder seeds in the gauze like rubbing clothes.

After a few minutes, small white bubbles begin to appear in the water. When there are enough small white bubbles in the water, the ice powder slurry is ready.

Afterwards, add the settled lime water into the ice powder slurry in small amounts and several times, stirring while adding to allow it to fully blend with the ice powder slurry, and stop until the ice powder slurry begins to solidify.

Put the solidifying ice jelly into the refrigerator and then start making taro balls.
