Rebirth and farming: the prosperous days of the eldest sister of Nongmen

Chapter 31 Shen She Helps Improve Pearl Milk Tea
The first thing Ye Xing did after receiving the milk was to make milk tea. She first made it in the way she used to make at home.

Soak the black tea with hot water for a quarter of an hour, then put the sugar in a clean pot and heat it over low heat until it changes color, add the black tea leaves and stir fry, then pour the milk into the pot to heat and keep stirring to prevent the pot from sticking, and finally pour the bubbles into the pot When a cup of good tea soup is brewed, a cup of caramel milk tea is freshly baked.

Ye Xing poured a cup for each of Wang Shi, Lin Shi and Ye Tao, and watched their reactions expectantly.Wang and Lin knew that a catty of milk was equivalent to the price of a catty of pork, so naturally they praised it after drinking it.Ye Tao was still a child, she ran to add a spoonful of sugar into the cup, then happily finished drinking it and said, "It's sweet, it's delicious."

It seemed that they could not count on their feedback, so Ye Xing could only rely on Lin Xuelan and Shen Xi to give her some advice.Of course, you can't just send the milk tea, Ye Xing has to make some fruit pearls that Lin Xuelan liked last time.

Fruit pearls are also her improved pearls, because at this time the Dade Dynasty had not introduced sweet potatoes, corn and other crops, and there was no tapioca starch for making pearls, so Ye Xing thought of horseshoes.Chop the washed and peeled horseshoe, put it into a stone mill, grind out the juice, then let it stand for a while, then pour off the upper layer of juice, and what is left is horseshoe powder, which only needs to be dried and crushed It can be used, and the pearls made are also very elastic.

Ye Xing only participated in part of the making of horseshoe powder, so Lin didn't know how the stuff was made, but she knew it was a secret recipe, and Ye Xing would do whatever Ye Xing asked her to do, not many ask.

For the sake of the fruit, Ye Xing dyed the horseshoe and pear red with beetroot juice, then wrapped the horseshoe powder in several layers outside the diced fruit, and put it in the hot water

After a few minutes of cooking, pearls that are transparent on the outside and pink on the inside will float up one by one.

Ye Xing sent the milk tea and fruit pearls to the Lin Mansion and the Shen Mansion, and specially instructed the servant girl to put them in glass cups before bringing them in.

When Qiu Ju brought the milk tea in, Shen Xi was sitting at the table drawing, "Miss Ye, Miss Ye specially brought milk tea with your favorite fruit pearls in it."

Shen Xi turned his head and saw caramel-colored milk in the white glass cup. As the milk swayed, he could also see red and white pearls spinning inside.She took the glass cup, which was already warmed by the temperature of the milk tea, and it didn't feel cold to the touch.

The warm milk tea exudes a sweet smell, Shen Xi took a sip and tasted the faint tea flavor in it, and felt that it was not as delicious as Ye Xing described before.

"Miss Ye, Miss Ye gave us a lot, she said it was to thank you for giving her milk before, what do you do with those..." Qiu Ju said to Shen Xi hesitantly.

Shen Xi's eyes brightened, "By the way, send those to my brother to see if he likes it. No, he is still studying in the academy. You take the milk tea to the kitchen to warm it up. We will go there when brother comes back." .”

As soon as Shen She came home in the evening, he saw Shen Xi waiting for him in his yard. He thought that Shen Xi wanted him to help again, so he said, "Why, what else do you need my help for?"

"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Shen Xi gave him an angry look, "Not only did I not come to trouble you today, but I brought you something special."

Shen Xi took the glass cup from Qiu Ju and put it in front of Shen She, "Here, this is Ye Xing's new milk tea, try it."

Hearing that it was made by Ye Xing, Shen She picked up the glass cup and looked at it, saw the moving pearls inside and asked, "What is this?"

"This is a fruit pearl, it's fun to eat, brother, eat it quickly."

Shen She took a sip and felt that there was nothing special about it, then picked up a fruit pearl with a spoon and chewed it slowly.

Seeing that Shen She didn't show appreciation, Shen Xi asked, "Don't you like it? I think it's sweet and fragrant, and it's quite comfortable to drink in winter."

"If this is the new product she is going to sell, I don't think the response will be very good." Shen She put the cup on the table, "She named it milk tea, as the name implies, it is milk and tea, but the aroma of the tea inside is too strong. It’s too light, and people who buy it for tea are easily disappointed. At the same time, the taste of milk is too light, which is nothing unusual, but the fruit pearl inside still has some characteristics.”

It was the first time Shen Xi heard that Shen She did not approve of Ye Xing's food. She was a little disappointed and said: "Ye Xing was looking forward to making new food with milk. Doesn't it mean that she has failed?"

"As a businessman, if she can't accept a failure, then she shouldn't be in business at all. But don't worry, the Ye Xing I know is a person who refuses to admit defeat. She must have wanted to send you a new product." Listen to the truth. You are helping her by helping her point out her mistakes." Shen She had an intuition, he believed that Ye Xing would not disappoint him, and he would definitely be able to make something satisfactory after giving advice.

After hearing Shen She's words, Shen Xi decided to go to Ye Xing immediately and let her know her true feelings, and she didn't want Ye Xing to start selling milk tea before being frustrated.

"Bang bang bang" the door of Ye Niangzi's restaurant was knocked, and Ye Xing was startled when she opened the door in thick clothes, "Qiu Ju, why are you here so late, is it Miss Shen who wants to eat?"

"Miss Ye, my girl said that she thinks the taste of the tea in the milk tea is too weak, and the milk taste is not strong enough. If it is sold like this, the effect may not be very good."

Ye Xing was a little moved, but she didn't expect that Shen Xi would immediately send someone to tell her the real feedback after drinking it, which was too important to her. "Miss Qiu Ju, please help me tell Miss Shen Da that her feedback is very important to me, and I will ask her to help me try it when I improve."

After Qiu Ju left, Ye Xing turned around and entered the room. Mrs. Wang opened the door and asked with concern, "What's the matter, did something happen?"

Ye Xing smiled and said comfortingly: "It's okay, it's just that Ms. Shen has a few words to ask Ms. Qiu Ju to tell me. Go and rest. I have something to do and I will rest later."

Ye Xing got dressed and went into the kitchen to stare at the tea and think. In the past, she could choose to sell it outside or make her own milk tea at home, so she could tell herself that it was for her health to make simple milk tea at home, but now she must be able to sell it as a commodity. The two points mentioned.

She carefully reviewed the operation of the milk tea shop she had seen before, and suddenly thought that the milk tea shop would shake the tea soup with ice cubes regardless of whether the customers needed ice or not. .

What about the taste of milk?Ye Xing bit her thumb and paced back and forth in the kitchen and said to herself, "Milk powder? No, I don't know how to make milk powder. Is there something that tastes like milk and sweet... That's right!"

Ye Xing clapped his hands, "How did I forget, condensed milk! I used to put condensed milk at home if the taste was too bland. This can be done!"

Ye Xing felt that she had found her way, and wished she could make milk tea again now, but the ice hadn't been frozen yet, and no one could taste it with her, so she could only suppress her excitement for the time being, and wait until the snacks were sold out the next day.

The next day, as soon as the cooking cakes were sold out, Ye Xing didn't care about eating with Wang Shi and Ye Tao, so she ran to the kitchen, and the water in the bowl outside the kitchen had frozen.Ye Xing quickly took out the ice cubes, and when the black tea was simmering and filtered out, he immediately added ice cubes twice as much as the black tea and shook it evenly.

Ye Xing was pleasantly surprised to find that the aroma of the tea leaves was well locked in the tea soup, and the soup was mellow and bright red.Then pour the cooled tea soup into the heated milk, but the tea aroma is better integrated into the milk, and there is no feeling of astringency when drinking.

Finally, Ye Xing added condensed milk boiled with sugar and milk, and the milky taste of the whole cup of milk tea became more intense by adding only a spoonful of it. With the taste of black tea, the overall milky fragrance returned to sweetness.Ye Xing felt that it was very close to the taste of the milk tea she bought outside.
