"Wow, it smells so good!"
Yao Yulin, who had been intently watching the boiling hay, couldn't help but exclaim with curiosity as she smelled the enticing milky aroma rushing towards her nose.
"Did they put sugar in it? It's so sweet, just smelling it makes me feel lightheaded."
Yao Yulin couldn't help but swallow, knowing that her confidante was making new food, and she couldn't help but start to look forward to it.
Even looking at the ordinary-looking hay in the pot, one can't help but wonder if it will really surprise them.
"Hehe, Mom, come and try the milk tea!"
Zhiyin looked at the enticing milk tea and immediately took out two bowls, pouring one into each.
"This thing is called milk tea? It's a mixture of milk and tea, the name is quite fitting!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Yulin's eyes immediately curved into a smile. She wiped her hands on the apron twice and then eagerly took it.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
Zhiyin felt the heat of the milk tea, blowing on it as she eagerly put it in her mouth.
The moment she tasted it, her eyes lit up. "That's it! It's delicious!"
Actually, it tastes better than the milk tea we have now because it uses pure fresh milk and the tea is of the highest quality.
After drinking it, your mouth will be filled with a pleasant, silky, and sweet taste, and you'll feel your mouth releasing dopamine like crazy, making it an unforgettable experience.
"It's so delicious! It's not too sweet, but it's really satisfying. It makes me feel completely relaxed."
Yao Yulin's eyes crinkled with laughter. She felt she had never tasted anything so delicious in her life. The milk tea wasn't too sweet, and the milk flavor was rich and creamy. The slightly bitter tea aroma and the milk fragrance collided together, creating a unique and wonderful flavor!
The texture was delicate and incredibly smooth! She could feel her taste buds pounding wildly.
It's simply irresistible and leaves you wanting more!
To Yao Yulin, who usually doesn't even dare to eat candy, it was an absolute treasure!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it absolutely delicious!
"Hehe, this is nothing. It would be even better if there were other tidbits."
After saying that, Zhiyin quickly took out the cassava she had bought yesterday, peeled it, washed it, shredded it with the potato shredder she had used before, poured it into a container, added a little water, and stirred it into a paste.
"Mother, could you please find me some gauze?"
Once she got the gauze, Zhiyin poured the cassava paste into it, rolled it into a small filter bag, and rubbed the filter bag to wash out the starch.
Repeat this process twice, then discard the cassava residue. Let the mixture of cassava starch and water settle for a while, and you will obtain cassava starch.
"Let's leave it at that for now. We'll talk about making it into dried cassava starch in large quantities later if needed."
Zhiyin's method at this time is only suitable for short-term use, and it is impossible to make it every time tapioca starch is needed.
At this point, it needs to be dried and stored.
After all, there is no tapioca starch in this world, so she has to make it herself.
Whether making pearls or various taro balls, tapioca starch is indispensable.
Considering the benefits of various starches, Zhiyin felt it necessary to produce corn starch, sweet potato starch, and potato starch in large quantities.
After all, whether it's marinating meat or making crispy pork, cold noodles, jelly, fried chicken, etc., starch is essential.
It's the cheapest and easiest thing to get that can add flavor.
The reason why meat was unpalatable in ancient times was that the cooking method was basically boiling, and there was no way to make the meat tender, so it would be tough and even have a fishy or foul smell.
"Maybe I can hire someone to do it before opening the milk tea shop."
After all, starches like these generally have a very long shelf life.
There's no need to open a factory for now, unless she wants to sell these things.
After muttering to himself, he drank half a bowl of milk tea and let out a satisfied burp. Seeing that it was almost time, he lifted the lid of the pot and touched the hay juice with his hand.
Feeling the sticky, smooth texture on his hands, Zhiyin knew it was done and immediately scooped out the larger haystacks from the hay juice.
Next, pour the broth into a cheesecloth and filter it in another small pot.
Since Zhiyin didn't use much dried grass, the herbal jelly juice was only about one pound.
"Mom, please help me carry the freshly filtered grass jelly juice back to the stove and smother the fire so it doesn't get too big."
"Okay, okay!"
Yao Yulin was already dumbfounded, but she immediately got to work upon hearing this.
Zhiyin slowly poured the tapioca starch slurry, made of starch and water, into the grass jelly juice and stirred it quickly over low heat.
After all the batter was poured in, he gestured to Yao Yulin to remove the heat suppressant and then quickly stir it over high heat.
In no time, the grass jelly juice turned dark green.
At this point, Zhiyin became a little impatient and quickly grabbed a container, putting the cooked grass jelly juice into it.
Staring longingly at the grass jelly juice, she couldn't help but pray, "It must succeed, it must succeed!"
To be honest, this was her first time actually handling this thing, and she was quite worried that it wouldn't solidify properly.
Seeing this, Yao Yulin couldn't help but feel nervous.
Unfortunately, the confidant was overthinking it; the herbal jelly solidified in just a few minutes.
Zhiyin touched it and felt its bouncy texture; her eyes lit up instantly.
"It's done!!!"
"Hahaha!!"
Zhiyin couldn't help but feel excited, and quickly started cutting the grass jelly into small pieces and putting them into her and Yao Yulin's milk tea.
She became unusually proud, raising her eyebrows with a smug look, "Hehe, Mom, did you see that?"
"Did you witness a miracle?"
"Try it!"
As he spoke, he quickly took a bite with a spoon, his eyes immediately narrowing as he recognized the familiar taste.
It's so bouncy and smooth, it's amazing!
Yao Yulin was truly shocked. She never expected that, under the guidance of this kindred spirit, the unassuming hay would turn into pieces like tofu.
I touched it, and the grass jelly jiggleed.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Yao Yulin couldn't help but smile and quickly began to taste it.
He immediately gave a thumbs up.
"Yinyin is amazing!! This thing is sure to win the hearts of countless girls!"
"Hehe, I think so too."
After all, milk tea is a favorite of every young girl and boy in modern times, and it was even more so in ancient times!
It will definitely have a significant impact and shock on the ancient food industry!
Seeing the radiant smile on Yao Yulin's face, Zhiyin felt her heart surge with excitement and was filled with energy.
After taking a couple of sips, I put the milk tea aside, washed the knife and cutting board, and started peeling, washing, slicing, steaming, and mashing the purple sweet potato, sweet potato, pumpkin, and taro that I bought yesterday. I added sugar and mashed them into a paste.
"That was too hasty. In the future, I'll have to make the taro balls in advance before opening the shop, so the milk tea doesn't get cold!"
