Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 667 Fermented Yogurt
Chang'an in late spring is already very hot.

After being irrigated by automatic water trucks, the crops near Chang'an City are growing well.

The most gratifying thing is that in mid-March, there was a heavy rain in Chang'an. This heavy rain was very extreme, and directly rescued the drought in Chang'an City.

And the spies sent by Li Shimin have returned one after another, and the officials of various state capitals have not stated that there is a drought in their place.

Li Chunfeng's astrology observation made a mistake.

On the morning of the day when there was a heavy rain in Chang'an City, many officials gave Li Chunfeng a hard time, but Li Chunfeng still saw that his observation was correct.

However, the facts are already in front of our eyes, so everyone no longer takes his prophecy seriously, even Li Shimin feels that Li Chunfeng is a bit alarmist.

In their hearts, they still don't want such a thing to happen.

For things they don't want, they will automatically choose not to believe and to block.

Li Chunfeng was very helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

Qin Tian stood in the main hall, but he had nothing to do.

Although he is the prime minister, it doesn't mean that Li Shimin will listen to every word he says. He is just a human being, not a god. What's more, he doesn't know whether Li Chunfeng's horoscope is right or not.

Now there are no reports of drought everywhere, so there shouldn't be any, right?

Qin Tian hoped that there would be none.

The weather is getting hotter every day. After the cows in the alpine pasture experienced the initial discomfort, their milk production has increased a lot. Qin Tian feels that they can almost make yogurt.

Therefore, he ordered people to bring back several large buckets of milk from the alpine pasture.

After the milk was shipped back, it was put into some large wine jars, and then, Qin Tian poured the already fermented lactic acid bacteria into it.

These lactic acid bacteria were fermented by Qin Tian after he had the idea of ​​making milk shakes before. The fermentation method is relatively stupid, that is, put the shaken milk into acid to obtain milk containing lactic acid bacteria, and then pour the milk into fresh milk , Let the lactic acid bacteria multiply slowly, and then ferment the yogurt.

The process is actually similar to wine making.

After a few large jars of milk sealed the mouth of the jar, the next step is to leave it to time.

Fortunately, this process was not very long. After a few days, Qin Tian opened a jar to check.

When the jar was opened, the milk immediately became viscous. I dug a mouthful with a spoon and put it into my mouth. It tasted sour and sweet, and the mellow aroma became more intense. After eating it, it took a long time to dissipate.

The taste is much better than the previous milk tea.

After Qin Tian took a sip, the aftertaste was endless, and at this time, Xiaodie couldn't help but also dig a spoonful to eat. After she finished eating like this, she immediately shouted: "It's delicious, it's so delicious, it's better than The milk tea is much better…”

Children actually like sweet and sour things, and yogurt is the one that suits their taste the most.

The nutrition of yogurt is much higher than that of milk tea.

"Come here, move two jars and put them in the ice cellar. The taste of this thing will be better when it is chilled. Moreover, this thing must be preserved in a low temperature environment."

The servants were ordered to retreat, and the rest were sent to each of Cheng Yaojin and the others with an altar. Of course, Qin Tian would not forget Li Shimin who was far away in the palace.
-
The taste of yogurt is more consistent with people's taste.

So after the yogurt was delivered, both Cheng Yaojin and Li Shimin were full of praise for this kind of thing, thinking that it is simply delicious in the world, better than wine.

After tasting it, Li Shimin asked Qin Tian to send an altar to the palace in two days.

Cheng Yaojin and others decided to mass produce without hesitation.

Summer is coming soon, and the sales of this yogurt will definitely be very good. Those rich people, who wouldn't want to eat this thing?
There are a lot of cows in the alpine pastures, but even so, the milk is not enough under the large-scale production.

"Oh my god, we need so much milk and there aren't many cows right now. That's a problem."

On this day, Cheng Yaojin told Qin Tian about the situation with a depressed face. After all, this kind of thing is not owned by their Datang, so even if they introduced some, it is definitely not too much.

Moreover, coupled with the scale of the alpine pasture, they can't raise many cows. Now there are only a few hundred cows in the alpine pasture.

Although they are already trying to find a way to breed, if there are more breeds, the alpine pasture must be expanded. They still have a lot of horses.

Now, we have to solve the problem of not having enough milk first.

However, this question did not bother Qin Tian.

"It's easy to say, just let people buy milk. As far as I know, many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries in Chang'an City have dairy cows. There are more than a dozen cows, and there are three or four cows. Let them buy fresh milk. Just take it out and replace it with yogurt, or convert it into money, but it must be fresh."

This method is a bit low-grade, and it feels a bit like a small businessman.

But it is undoubtedly the best, most convenient and quick way to solve the current shortage of milk.

Although these wealthy businessmen and dignitaries have milk at home, they don’t know how to make yogurt. If they want to drink yogurt, they have to spend money to buy it. If they are willing to exchange milk for yogurt, it can save them some money.

This is a great option for those people.

If you buy it with money, it will be more expensive, but if you exchange it with milk, it will be cheaper.

After drinking yogurt, I naturally feel that the taste and texture of milk are very bad. So, if the milk can't be drunk, is it okay to replace it with yogurt?
As far as Qin Tian knew, there were at least a few thousand cows in Chang'an City, and the number was still increasing. The output of these cows was almost enough for their needs. They could still make a lot of money through the yogurt business.

The yogurt business is very popular in Chang'an City. Almost many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries order yogurt. They hand over the money to Qin Tian. Qin Tian's people will deliver the fresh yogurt they want every morning.

And in late spring and early summer, when the yogurt business in Chang'an City was booming, a fast horse suddenly rushed into Chang'an City from outside, and headed straight for the palace.

At that time, it was the morning court, and Li Shimin was discussing matters with his officials. Suddenly, a eunuch rushed in: "My lord, urgent report, there is a riot in Jingzhou..."

The eunuch said something, Li Shimin and the officials were shocked when they heard the news.

"What's going on, where are the spies?"

"outside."

"Let him in."

The eunuch didn't know much about the riots in Jingzhou, so he just heard the spies talk about the situation, and then came to report, so the specific situation had to be heard from the spies.

Not long after, the spies entered the hall.

　There will be an update after 12 o'clock tomorrow, about 50 chapters.
