Chapter 384: Do I need to make my intention clear?
Shen Qing scooped two scoops for each family except for the three families of Mr. Jiang Erye, and asked Jiang Xiangnan to send more than ten pounds to the Lei family on the mountain.
The total weight is 111 kilograms, and there are about 80 kilograms left.
Shen Qing pointed to a wooden barrel containing about thirty or forty kilograms of milk and said to Jiang Dabo, "Dabo, carry it. Let's go to the sugar factory together."
Then he turned to Jiang Xiangbei and instructed, "Take the rest back and tell your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to make some steamed buns with milk flavor tonight."
It is very simple to make milk steamed buns. Just replace the water used to knead the dough with milk. The buns will have a light milky aroma and taste softer. She had told Xiaoyu Ali about it before, and they both knew how to make it.
"Also, leave a pound of milk for Huahua and the other two to nourish their bodies. If you want some, just tell us and let your sister-in-law and sister-in-law stay."
On the first day, she didn't expect to make much milk soap. She would try it today and start officially tomorrow.
The two little granddaughters at home are four years old and one year old respectively. They are in the growing period, and fresh milk is nutritious and just right for them to nourish their bodies.
I’m so thankful that the cows produce a lot of milk, so I don’t have to worry about not having enough.
The surrounding women were all focused on the steamed buns with milk flavor, and asked first: "Can this milk be used to make steamed buns? Are they delicious?"
"How do you make it? Does it taste like milk?"
Shen Qing told the women to use milk to make the dough, which immediately made them very happy. "That ladle of milk can make the whole family eat steamed buns with milky flavor. This is a good idea!"
Someone else, drawing analogies, suggested, "Can we put some cornmeal in it? I'll try it when I get home!"
"I'll try it too."
As for Shen Qing asking Jiang Dabao to carry half a bucket of milk to the sugar factory, needless to say, if milk can be used to make steamed buns, it can naturally be used to make sugar.
I guess it’s milk candy!
No wonder Shen Qing said the more the better before, it turns out milk has so many uses!
They knew that Shen Qing was reliable, that everything he said was based on facts, and that he was not a boaster.
Jiang Dabao and Jiang Xiangbei had already obediently carried the wooden barrels and walked back.
The three Jiang families excitedly went to the sugar factory.
Shen Qing explained how cheese, butter, and light cream can be extracted from milk.
The excuse is simple: Su Mu taught me.
Apart from Mr. Jiang and Jiang Ying, the Jiang family members thought that Su Mu and his companions had lived in her house for many days, and the cattle from the Shepherd Village were sent there by Shen Qing through Su Mu. The two parties had a cooperative relationship, so it was normal for them to teach them these things.
Shen Qing brought up the idea of making milk candy again, but this time she didn't go into details. She just said that it was something she had figured out and asked them to figure out how to make it on their own.
Zhao Mingyue slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, how could I be so stupid! Sesame candy is not suitable, so I didn't think of anything else!
Shen Qing, you still think too much. People still need to use their brains."
Shen Qing smiled and said, "I just thought of it after hearing Su Mu mention it. They have a lot of cow's and goat's milk there, so they use it to make all kinds of food. I thought about adding it to other foods, so can't I add sugar to it too?
But I remember that the candy shop has milk candy. If you want to sell well, you can add some other things and make different flavors. I think peanut milk candy should be good.
By the way, Su Mu also said that they can make milk slices, which are easy to take and delicious. Do you want to learn how to make them?"
"Learn! Sister-in-law, please teach us. If we succeed, we can make money in the summer!" Zhou Yan said anxiously.
Although the sugar factory's income is already very high in winter, it has been closed for the entire summer and has no income, which makes people feel anxious.
Shen Qing explained the method of making milk slices and added, "In two months, various flowers will begin to bloom. Can roses, rose petals, and osmanthus flowers be added?"
There are many nobles and wealthy people in the capital, and most of these candies and cakes are bought and eaten by ladies, so naturally we have to cater to their preferences.
Even the men kept nodding their heads.
I can't wait to start trying it out right now.
Shen Qing took the opportunity to say goodbye.
I returned to the house and lay down on the soft and comfortable big bed, and found that being able to cook salted fish was also a kind of happiness.

As May approached, the busyness in the village finally came to a small end.
The whole village has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
The houses are neatly arranged, the land is flat, and the roads are crisscrossed and orderly.
The crops in the fields have been planted, and the fruit trees, flowers and plants in front of and behind the houses have also been planted. Except for those working in the embroidery workshops and brush workshops, the village is basically in a state of idleness.
But this state of leisure was broken by Mr. Jiang within two days!
"Before, we built roads and planted fruit trees and flowers for our own families, but the next thing we will do is for the village."
Everyone who was called to a meeting under the ancient tree in the center of the village was confused.
Boss Zhao reacted quickly and asked, "Village Chief, are you talking about growing medicinal herbs in the mountains?"
Some of the seeds collected last year have not yet been planted. Now that everyone in the village is free and the most important food has been planted, they can naturally go to the mountains to continue reclaiming wasteland and planting medicinal herbs.
When the others heard that it was medicinal herbs, they followed suit: “But this is not just for the village. After all, every household will get a share of the silver from the sale;
If you want to earn money, you have to work hard, right? "
It's for the village and even more for myself. Otherwise, where will I buy meat? Where will I get fabric for clothes?
Also, they drank milk before. Some people in the family were not used to it, but there were also some who liked it very much. If they had money, they could buy it for those who liked it.
Mr. Jiang shook his head and said, "It's not just about growing medicinal herbs in the mountains, but also widening the river and making chevaux de frise."
Everyone nodded when they heard about planting medicinal herbs and widening the river, but they were confused when they heard about chevaux de frise. They all saw confusion in the eyes of the people around them.
When Shen Qing heard about the barricades, he thought that Mr. Jiang was indeed an escort with decades of experience. He had a lot of experience and attached great importance to safety. He thought comprehensively and long-term.
Master Jiang explained in a deep voice: "To put it simply, a chevaux de frise is a wooden fence made of wood that is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, with sharpened wood cross-fixed on one side. It is mainly used to prevent enemy attacks.
It is often used during marches and battles, and works very well on the edge of forests, along wooded paths, and so on."
Everyone listened quietly.
Feng Meng asked faster than he could think, "We don't fight in the army, so why are we doing this?"
As soon as he said this, those who had not thought about why the village chief mentioned the barricades suddenly understood!
Why else? They may not be marching to fight, but they have enemies.
There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Their village is rich, and people will naturally know it over time.
Previously, we wanted to prevent outsiders from crossing the mountain into the village, so we set up patrol and night watch teams. Now the village chief is proposing to make chevaux de frise. Does he need to explain his intention clearly?
