Cute Wife Gourmet

Chapter 105 Ice Cream

Maybe Zhao Qixuan had warned those people, so none of them came tonight, but Tianshangju was still full, and Ye Jiayao was busy until very late before finishing work.

When I went out, I saw Song Qihou outside.

"Brother Yao, please get on the carriage." Outside, Song Qi still called her Brother Yao.

Ye Jiayao guessed that Chunyu would be in the carriage.

as predicted.

"I told you not to pick me up, but you still came." Ye Jiayao said angrily, but she was somewhat happy in her heart. This was just like a modern man and woman in love, where the man drives his car to pick up the woman from get off work.

Too bad there are no flowers.

Xia Chunyu said: "I'm afraid you'll be dragged into this pirate ship again."

"Just drag me away. I'm not an important person anyway." Ye Jiayao said with a mixed feeling.

"Rather than being dragged away by others, I'd rather drag her away myself." Xia Chunyu pulled her into his arms.

"Don't touch me." Ye Jiayao warned him weakly.

A narrow smile flashed across Xia Chunyu's eyes: "Okay, then I'll speak."

He bent down and kissed her on the lips.

Ye Jiayao struggled symbolically and then gave up resisting. His flexible tongue forcefully knocked open her pearly teeth, chasing her cloves and greedily tasting her flavor.

The temperature in the carriage suddenly rose, and both of them felt unstable and hot in their hearts.

"Yao Yao..."

"what?"

Xia Chunyu looked at her eagerly, his inner desire evident in his words.

Ye Jiayao was embarrassed. Her soul came from the modern times. She was not as conservative as the ancient women, but she still knew how to write the word reserved. If a woman is too casual, men will be casual with you. If a woman does not love herself, men will not cherish you. Although she was also very uncomfortable, she still had to endure it for the sake of the future!

"If you keep looking at me like that, I'll get off the car." Ye Jiayao pulled her hand back, straightened her clothes, and sat down properly.

Xia Chunyu knew it was not good, but he couldn't help himself when he got close to her. He was afraid that she would be angry, so he just sighed and endured it.

"What delicious food do you think we'll make for dinner?" In order to distract his attention, Xia Chunyu thought of a topic.

"You'll know when you get there." Ye Jiayao kept it a secret. Today was her first time making ice cream and she didn't know if it would be successful.

When she returned home, Jiang Yue had already prepared all the materials Ye Jiayao needed, even a large ice jar. This ice jar had cost Ye Jiayao a lot of money to make custom-made. There were also twenty small ice jars to be used at the old princess' birthday banquet.

"Where's your brother?" Ye Jiayao asked. She hadn't seen him last night, nor this morning, and still no sign of him now.

"My brother is doing carpentry work in the house and he won't come out even when I call him." Jiang Yue was very confused by her brother's sudden change in temperament.

Ye Jiayao and Xia Chunyu exchanged glances, and they understood each other tacitly, wondering how long he could hide.

Ye Jiayao started to make ice cream. She cracked two eggs, separated the egg yolks, mixed them with powdered sugar, and beat them with a whisk until it became a thick milky white liquid.

I lit a low fire on the stove and poured the milk I brought back into the pot and heated it, keeping an eye on the heat, cooking it until it was just simmering but not boiling.

After it cooled down a bit, Ye Jiayao asked Jiang Yue to slowly pour the milk into the egg liquid while she stirred it with a whisk.

"Slow down, slower."

In this process, the temperature of the milk and the mixing speed are the key. If the temperature is too high or poured too quickly, the egg liquid will easily clump and the result will be a failure.

"What are you doing? It's so weird." Xia Chunyu had never seen such a practice before.

Ye Jiayao put the mixed milk and eggs into the pot and boiled them, saying, "It's something you haven't eaten before anyway."

Suddenly she remembered something and slapped her forehead: "Oh, I forgot, this thing can't be eaten for another hour and a half."

Then he looked at Xia Chunyu hesitantly and said, "How about you come tomorrow morning?"

Xia Chunyu said, "Isn't it just an hour and a half? I'll just wait."

I can also spend more time with her, which is what I want.

Ye Jiayao curled her lips, feeling that she was in great danger tonight. Who made her miscalculate?
The milk and egg mixture that has been cooked until slightly boiled needs to be cooled, which is estimated to take about twenty minutes.

Jiang Yue tactfully found an excuse to avoid him, and they were the only two left in the small kitchen.

Ye Jiayao stayed away from him for safety reasons, and Xia Chunyu found her vigilant look funny.

"Do you have any books here?"

"No."

"Then what can we do to entertain ourselves?" It's boring to just sit there with your eyes wide open! You'll start to have random thoughts.

"No."

"You don't want to play Shuangkou anymore?" Xia Chunyu asked with a smile. This gambling game she invented was promoted by Song Qi. Now, people not only in Jing'an Marquis Mansion but also outside are playing it.

Ye Jiayao muttered, "I'm so tired when I come home every day. Sometimes I have to study the dishes, so I don't have time to play. Besides, I think my luck in gambling is not good, so I'd better not play." Now she is still poor and can't afford to play.

"What about rock-paper-scissors? Don't you want to play it anymore?" Xia Chunyu thought of the evil hammer, and still felt resentful about it, and wanted to take revenge. Ye Jiayao smiled slyly: "I won't give you a chance to turn the tables. You have lost to me in this life."

Xia Chunyu's thoughts were seen through by her, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I admit defeat to you."

"What a tragic statement."

"Really?" Xia Chunyu raised his beautiful eyebrows.

"Yes." Ye Jiayao said firmly.

"Okay, if you say there is one, then there is one. It doesn't matter even if I lose the person to you." Xia Chunyu was very good-tempered.

Ye Jiayao joked, "If you lose to me, all the money you earn in the future will belong to me. Are you willing to give it up?"

"The person is yours now, why would you be reluctant to give him up?" Xia Chunyu looked at her with a smile.

Ye Jiayao was embarrassed. Was he joking or serious? Sweat, it seemed that her IQ had dropped alarmingly recently. Of course, this was a joke. How could it be true?
Ye Jiayao thought for a moment and said, "How about we play catching stones?" She had seen Jiang Yue play. She had also played this game when she was a child and she was unbeatable in the class.

Xia Chunyu was quick to follow her advice. As long as she was happy, it didn't matter what they played.

Ye Jiayao was very surprised, thinking that he would not play this childish game with her, but he agreed without even thinking about it. Ye Jiayao quickly ran to Jiang Yue to borrow a handful of peach pits.

The two of them played the game of catching peach pits on the eight-immortals table.

"How do you play this thing?" Xia Chunyu asked knowingly.

"It's very simple, I'll teach you!" Ye Jiayao began to demonstrate.
Catch one, catch two, catch three, catch four, and there are also things like recruiting soldiers and generals, selling and cutting vegetables, one-stop service, etc.

"Do you understand?" Ye Jiayao asked him.

Xia Chunyu was dazzled by what she saw. The tricks she played were much more varied than those of the maids in the mansion.

"I think I can do it. You go first and I'll follow you."

Ye Jiayao hadn't finished this for a long time, but she had no problem passing it. Unexpectedly, he was very competitive. When she passed a level, he also passed a level, without showing any disadvantage at all.

When it came to cutting vegetables, Ye Jiayao had an idea. She arranged several peach pits so that they could just fit the width of her palm. If the palm fell and touched the peach pit, she would lose. Her hands were relatively slender, while his were thick. Let's see how you will win this time.

Xia Chunyu saw through her intention at a glance, smiled faintly, picked up the peach core, and cut into the gap with his palm quickly and accurately like a dragonfly skimming the water, and finally grabbed it with a graceful and smooth movement.

Ye Jiayao looked at him with a critical look: "Have you played it before?"

Xia Chunyu shook his head firmly: "No, it's such a simple game, I can learn it at a glance."

Damn, easy? I don’t believe you can pass the last level.

The last level, a dragon, is to arrange the peach pits into a straight line or a circle. The difficulty depends on the distance or the size of the circle.

Ye Jiayao deliberately made a big circle, and Xia Chunyu shook his head and said, "This is too easy."

Whew! Is that too simple?
"Then you do it."

Xia Chunyu took her circles, put one on each corner of the table and one in the middle, then made a gesture of invitation.

Ye Jiayao was dumbfounded. How could she catch it? Even if she threw the peach pit onto the beam, she might not be able to catch it!
"What, you give up?" Xia Chunyu curled his thin lips and smiled teasingly.

Ye Jiayao stiffened her neck and said, "Who said you gave up? You go first this time."

Xia Chunyu smiled faintly, stood up, and threw the peach pits into the air. His long arms still drew a circle, just like practicing Tai Chi, calmly and unhurriedly. He held the five peach pits in his palms, and the thrown peach pits also landed accurately in his palms. He spread out his palms to show her.

Ye Jiayao was stunned. This guy was too amazing.

"Would you like to see something more exciting?" Xia Chunyu asked with a smile.

Ye Jiayao nodded blankly.

Xia Chunyu didn't even look at it. He swung his arm and flipped his palm, and the peach pit in his hand shot out.

With a thump.

Yes, just one sound.

Xia Chunyu pointed at the pillar in the room and said, "Go and take a look."

Ye Jiayao walked over and took a look, and was dumbfounded again. All six peach pits were embedded in the pillar, five of them formed a circle, and there was another one in the center.

To hammer in nails you need a hammer, and the hammer cannot be knocked crooked. He just swung it and nailed the peach pit to the pillar. Is this the so-called internal force?
It was the first time that Ye Jiayao saw such miraculous kung fu, which she had only seen in martial arts novels, and she couldn't help but look at Chunyu with stars in her eyes.

"Chun Yu, you are amazing. How many years have you studied this Kung Fu?" Ye Jiayao also wanted to learn it.

"Boyhood skills." Xia Chunyu said lightly, but it cruelly shattered Ye Jiayao's hopes.

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes and thought angrily: Forget it, she is old and can’t learn it.

After all this trouble, the milk and egg mixture had cooled down. Ye Jiayao took out the refined cream from the ice container, whipped it, and mixed it into the milk and egg mixture. She put it in a porcelain bottle and put it in the ice container to freeze.

"Is this the delicious thing you mentioned?" Xia Chunyu was deeply skeptical about this sticky thing.

Ye Jiayao grinned: "Playing with walnuts is your strong point, and cooking is my strong point. Don't doubt my level, just like don't doubt your own skills."

Xia Chunyu clenched his fist and put it to his lips and coughed twice. Okay! He shouldn't question her.
