Chapter 258 Milk Tea
Pour out the goat milk in the milk pot fruit and slowly boil it in a large round pot.
After boiling, pour the scented tea made earlier into the round pot. Gurgle, gurgle~ After a while, the floral fragrance will float out along with the rich smell of milk.
These flower teas do not taste bitter when chewed dry, and they enhance the flavor when soaked in goat milk, so there is no need to scoop them out.
Josh tasted it and it had a rich milky and floral aroma. It smelled very fragrant, but the taste was still a little off from the smell.
Although goat milk without any seasoning is rich, it is a little bland compared to the strong smell.
"Oswin, try it." Josh poured a cup for Oswin, who was washing the pot nearby, to try.
"Hmm~ The taste is mellow and the aroma is nice." He praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Do you think it needs some sugar?" Josh asked for his opinion.
"Add sugar?" Oswin took another sip and savored it carefully. "Add sugar! Increasing the sweetness will not reduce the flavor of this milk tea. On the contrary, it will highlight its richness. And I think the antelopes should also prefer milk tea with a sweeter taste."
"Okay." Oswin was more familiar with these wild antelopes, and Josh chose to listen to his advice.
Josh took out some granulated sugar from the cupboard and poured a few tablespoons into the round pot. He then turned off the fire in the stove, leaving only the residual heat, and slowly stirred to melt the sugar.
After a while, when he felt that there was no rustling sound or sediment at the bottom of the round pot when stirring, Josh scooped out another portion and tasted it carefully. Hmm~ it was much sweeter and richer.
"It's really good. Come to Oswin and try it."
It just so happened that a gourd-shaped storage device that he had bought a long time ago to store attribute honey was now empty, and Josh could use it to store the milk tea so that he could pour it for them later.
Taking a few small plastic basins and cups, Josh and Oswin returned to the land to be reclaimed.
She had only been walking for a short while when the small piece of land in front of her was cleared.
They arrived just in time when Rock and his companions seemed to have stopped to give water to the Mighty Wild Antelopes. They put their own animal hide water bags next to the Mighty Wild Antelopes' mouths. After one drank, they took over the next, in an orderly and well-behaved manner.
Seeing Josh coming, Roger among the three brothers was the first to see Josh and Oswin. He patted his brother on the shoulder, and then they quickly put down the bag that was feeding water to the Mullet gazelles and trotted towards Josh and the others.
"Miss Farmer, we are rehydrating the antelopes. If their strength evaporates for a long time, they will be dehydrated and unable to exert their strength."
Josh was a little confused by his words, but he quickly reacted.
"Rock, don't be nervous. I'm not the kind of person who likes to find fault. It's normal for them to drink water. If they are tired, please rest for a while. A combination of work and rest is best." Josh's warm smile soothed the uneasy mood of Rock and the others.
It's not that they were making a fuss. It's just that you can encounter all kinds of people when working outside. Before, they had encountered a situation where they hired strong wild antelopes to help carry thick logs from the mountains. However, they were not allowed to drink water or rest on the spot during the journey. They would even be scolded if they stopped to adjust the weight. This made them extremely cautious when working.
So when they saw Josh running towards them from afar, the first thing they thought of was to apologize.
Oswin sighed and walked up slowly from behind.
"Long time no see, Rock, Roger, Robben."
Hearing Oswin's voice, several people seemed very excited, but also a little embarrassed. Although it was Oswin who contacted them for this mercenary mission, they had not been in touch for many years. They heard that Oswin had joined the expeditionary corps and became a senior officer, and he was no longer from the same world as them.
"Oswin! Long time no see. I didn't expect you to be here too." Rock said excitedly.
"Yes, I heard that you are very busy in the expeditionary force. I really don't know how to thank you enough for introducing the mission to us and taking the time to come here." Roger followed.
Robben didn't say anything. He was still young when his brothers got to know Oswin, so he wasn't that familiar with him, but he still looked at him with gratitude.
He even took a few steps back, his straight back unconsciously bent, showing his politeness and flattery.
It has been too long since we last kept in touch. Even though we were good friends in our youth, there is now an invisible barrier between us.
Oswin sighed imperceptibly, smiled and said, "I have not worked in the expeditionary corps for a long time. I am now a manager of the farm. Miss Joshi hired me. In essence, I am the same as you. I work for the salary paid by the boss."
When these words were spoken, the three of them were stunned, then they straightened their backs, and the tension and politeness disappeared instantly.
"No, you're doing a good job! They say you've become a big commander, so impressive." Rock asked with a frown, his face revealing worry.
"Did something happen? If we brothers can help, Oswin, please don't be polite to us."
"That's right. If it weren't for those powerful wild antelopes you gave us, we wouldn't be here today."
The caring words brought warmth to Oswin's heart.
The sense of distance before was real, and the concern now is also real. The interactions between people are so subtle. Once the identities change, the originally long distance seems to be shortened in an instant.
"No, it's not easy working in the legion. I'm exhausted all day long and can't take it anymore, so I have to look for other jobs. I'm living very comfortably here with Miss Joshi now, don't worry." Oswin explained a few words. Although they might not be true, they did put his old friends at ease.
"Yes, it's dangerous and easy to get bullied. It's better not to do it. This army is not as free as the outside world. It's more comfortable on the farm."
After a brief chat, the relationship between Oswin and Rock brothers became much closer.
"Miss Joshi said she came to bring you something to drink to replenish your energy. I'll follow her here now." Oswin calmly turned the topic to Joshi, who had been watching the excitement for a long time.
Although they were old friends meeting, they couldn't leave Qiao Xi out. He just said that now they all depended on the boss for their livelihood, so they couldn't neglect the boss.
"What, what? Drink? How can I say this?" Rock couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and repeatedly wiped the clean place in front of his clothes with his hands. He felt a little embarrassed, but also very expectant.
Looking at the three pairs of eyes staring at her, Qiao Xi felt a little embarrassed.
"It's nothing, just milk tea made from the goat's milk of the jumping lamb. Thinking of your hard labor, I came to give you something to drink."
