Chapter 122 Milk...is it rotten?

How much is this little milk?In Ye Xinyan's opinion, it is naturally not much, let alone worry about milk.In her memory, as early as the period of national integration in the Tang Dynasty, dairy products showed signs of popularization in the Central Plains.But in the era Ye Xinyan traveled to, milk fermentation seemed unacceptable.

Qi Younian had served as an army in northern Xinjiang, and he knew that the nomads in Beiyi and other places regarded dairy products as a very important ration.However, as the Great Xia Dynasty, which mainly focused on farming, it looked down on the eating habits of barbarian areas, and could not stand the smell of dairy products made by nomadic peoples.

In this regard, Mr. Qi Younian maintained a high degree of consistency with the imperial court's attitude towards barbarian areas.

In view of the above, Ye Xinyan only briefly explained to the people around her about the fermentation of milk, and gave up trying to get them to agree with her under the puzzled eyes of the people.

Many examples prove that it is futile to say more about many things before they are officially released.

While Ye Xinyan is busy with the daily affairs of the cattle farm, she assigns the workers of the cattle farm to put fresh milk from different periods of time in wooden barrels, and put it in a cool place in the warehouse of the cattle farm, waiting for the milk to ferment naturally .

The easiest way to deal with milk is to ferment it. Let the fresh milk stand for fermentation, and then the cream rich in milk fat will separate from the yogurt slurry and float on the top layer of the milk slurry.

About two days later, the surface of the moist milky white milk turned off-white, and the whole bucket of milk showed an obvious semi-coagulated state.

In the middle of the day, after hearing the news, Qi Younian put aside his work on the construction site and came to see Ye Zi's handling of the worrying milk.

Under the watchful eyes of Qi Younian and Fan Zhengyuan, Ye Xinyan extracted the first fermented cream.In fact, it is to use a spoon to skim off the top layer of cream.

Due to Ye Xinyan's status in charge, Fan Zhengyuan doubted the food safety of the half pot of grayish-white unidentified sticky matter carefully extracted by Ye Xinyan and the leftover milk in the wooden barrel, but he was not sure. Open your mouth to express doubts.

Qi Younian didn't have this concern, and asked directly: "Ye Zi, your thing...is it broken?"

"..." Ye Xinyan was speechless.

Grandpa, it's not good for you to speak like that. Even if you question it, you should be more tactful, okay?

Qi Younian smiled awkwardly, but still pointed to the unidentifiable object with an unpleasant color, and asked persistently, "Is this really edible?"

Ye Xinyan twitched her lips subconsciously, and replied: "In the early years, I heard from people who have been to other tribes that the milk of nomads is processed in this way. Whether it is edible or not, we can try it. I think it's okay."

Qi Younian's attitude towards his granddaughter immediately took effect, and the old man nodded without hesitation: "Success, then let's give it a try. Grandpa must be the first to taste this delicacy of yours, and we can't make it cheaper for others."

Ye Xinyan couldn't laugh or cry.Your old man’s construction site is still waiting for you to preside over the work. Our new house has just prepared the foundation. If you are so irresponsible to test the poison yourself, if something good or bad happens, what will you do if you leave such a big mess?
Fan Zhengyuan coughed dryly, and said: "Hey, we have all seen the skills of Mrs. Qi, and all the small dishes she made are extremely delicious. If you use milk to make delicious food this time, you have to reward us who have worked so hard to raise them. Are you a cow? I feel that it is better to share the delicious food made by Mrs. Qi first, so that it can win people's hearts... Haha."

Ye Xinyan didn't bother to be moved by Qi Younian's two righteous deeds, and left with the basin, completely ignoring the two stunned people behind.

Girl, the food I make is delicious and nutritious. You don't need to classify my delicious food as poisonous and harmful food.

Watching Ye Xinyan walk into the shabby courtyard of the second room from afar, Fan Zhengyuan asked Qi Younian's opinion with a bitter face: "Old man, did Mrs. Qi go to cook? Why don't we go and see? We can't let Mrs. Qi A young woman tries something rotten."

No matter how capable Mrs. Qi is, she is still only twenty years old.He is just a steward hired by the cattle farm, so it's not easy to follow Qi's family to prevent Mrs. Qi from trying that suspicious food.

Qi Younian has led more than a dozen workers to work for more than half a month. The old man who is nearly [-] years old is not only not tired, but more energetic.

The old man listened to Fan Zhengyuan's suggestion, and then looked at the wooden barrels on the ground where the milk was stored.Inside the wooden barrel is the off-white, oily, slightly sour stuff that has been skimmed off.The bucket of rotten milk has clotted, and the clotted white milk is floating in the yellow rotten water.

Well, this is not bad water, the leaf said it is whey, which is also a good thing.

Qi Younian withdrew his gaze from the wooden barrel and waved his hand at Fan Zhengyuan, "It's okay, it's okay, Ye Zi always does things safely, and never does things that are not sure. You lock the warehouse door and go to work. I'll go back and have a look." That's good." After finishing speaking, he put his hands behind his back and strolled towards the house.

Earlier, he had heard from Ye Zi that those things that could be made from milk would take time. He thought that she wouldn't be able to make anything that could be eaten in a while, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Because Ye Xinyan is the actual person in charge of the cattle farm, for the convenience of management, the location of the cattle farm is not far from the second room of Qi's family, which is just a stone's throw away.

When Qi Younian strolled back, Ye Xinyan didn't mess with the rotten off-white substance, but was wrestling with some egg whites, whipping the egg whites in a porcelain bowl with a few chopsticks with all her might.A pale yellow paste was placed in another large ceramic bowl beside it.

Qi Younian was a little dumbfounded, this is really his Ye Zi's usual way of cooking food.However, this looks like the steps of making a cake, where did you use that sour cream?

"Yezi, are you using the cream you mentioned for food?" Qi Younian asked.

Ye Xinyan raised her head while struggling to beat the egg white, "Well, I'll make a cake first, let's call it a cream cake."

Sure enough, it is a cake, but the word "cream" is added.Does cream refer to the fat of the milk that the leaves call it?
Qi Younian laughed and said, "That's a good thing, grandpa is waiting to taste your cream cake. The food made by Ye Zi in our family has always been a rare delicacy. Grandpa is always the first to taste the delicious food, which is also considered delicious. The blessings cultivated in the previous life."

What the old man thinks is that his granddaughter has always dared to think and act, she is very stubborn, and it is useless to stop her.Then, I have no choice but to try to eat it with his old bones. I think it's just rotten food. After heating and cooking, the harm should be much less.

Ye Xinyan rolled her eyes to look at her grandpa, and said, "You don't act like that at all. Grandpa, you can see clearly on your face what's going on in your heart."

Qi Younian couldn't help laughing, this time from the inside out.My daughter and grandchildren are smart, so their eyesight is really good.
