Pastoral Tea Fragrance: The High Price Medical Concubine

Chapter 28 Afternoon tea, the old Taoist is here

A well-made vegetarian meal tastes better than meat, and Lu Jinyao knows this very well.

When it came to eating, the little Taoist seemed to open up the conversation, and said with some regret: "I usually don't eat such delicious vegetarian dishes, and those are specially made for the distinguished guests who live in the temple. However, On important days, we can also share some after we have made offerings to the gods from all walks of life."

"Is it delicious?" No matter how he thought about it, Lu Jin felt that he was asking nonsense.

The little Taoist nodded vigorously: "It's delicious, even better than the roast duck bought at the foot of the mountain."

He thought for a while, and then said: "However, it's not as delicious as your cooking."

When he said this, the little Taoist's eyes were sincere, and his face was full of purity and piety.

The little Taoist was originally beautiful beyond common sense: his pair of phoenix eyes looked a little charming, but his eyes were as innocent as a child's, and his dark pupils and double pupils added a bit of mystery to him.Although the eyes seemed not so energetic, but the quietness was like spring water, but it also made people feel very comfortable.

Although his face was abnormally pale, his facial features were exquisite and distinct, like a real-life SD doll, which made people unable to move their eyes away.

When he grows up, he doesn't know how many girls will be fascinated by this face.

This face, combined with the expression of the little Taoist priest when he said this sentence, and the sentence itself, Lu Jinyao's little heart couldn't bear it in an instant.

In order to hide her blushing, Lu Jinyao deliberately coughed twice and said, "I'm really good at talking, there are better things to eat at night."

The little Taoist's eyes had turned into worship.

Every time Lu Jinyao cooks a meal, she perfectly grasps the food intake of the whole family. If there is a little extra, she takes it into the space to eat, so there will be no leftovers in each meal, and many new tricks can be conjured up in the next meal.

Lu Jinyao is of course very pleased that someone likes the food she cooks so much.

However, the little Taoist was destined not to have a better meal at night.

After lunch, the little Taoist rushed to help wash the dishes, and then everyone in the Lu family went to take a lunch break.

Generally, except for high-ranking and wealthy families, ordinary people's homes don't pay much attention to these things.

However, the Lu family has.

After taking a nap for a while, Lu Jinyao got up and started preparing afternoon tea.

In this era, afternoon tea is only eaten by nobles who have nothing to do. Of course, the name is not afternoon tea, but there is no difference in essence.

However, Lu Jinyao prepared afternoon tea not for the sake of being arty and tall, but to seize the time to take care of his family.

Afternoon tea is a product of the 17th century in England, but in the modern society where Lu Jinyao lived in his previous life, it has penetrated into every corner of the city.It is especially popular in Guangdong and Fujian in China.

It's just that in the Tianqi Dynasty, want to drink tea?Tsk!That is a precious thing.

In particular, there is no tea produced in the north, and it is all shipped from the south.All this time and again, freight, labor costs, all kinds of messy expenses are added up, coupled with the limitations of the times, the output is not much, and ordinary people can't drink it at all, only those dignitaries can have it.

However, in Lu Jinyao's impression, tea could be produced in the north in her previous life, and Rizhao green tea was quite famous.

Probably because of the limitations of the times, there is no tea in the north now, just like rice cannot be grown in the Northeast.

So the afternoon tea prepared by Lu Jinyao was just a formality, but the content was far from it.

She prepared two snacks, jujube milk, fried milk, and French fries.

The source of milk is naturally the three cows she bought, but the cows can only produce milk after giving birth to calves, so only two of the three cows can produce milk.

Fried milk needs one thing first: starch.

There is no way for Lu Jinyao to make the real starch. As an out-and-out liberal arts student, trying to figure out the composition of starch is simply a dream.But she probably knows that starch has something to do with potatoes.

She also made fried milk on a whim, without preparing anything, but just heard Su Xin say that the cow gave milk, so she thought of making fried milk to eat.

Fortunately, there is space and plenty of time.

Lu Jinyao entered the space when no one was paying attention. After peeling and washing the potatoes with the twin elves, they were ground into powder with the stone mill that appeared after the upgrade in the space. Drain all the water with a spirit technique.

After tasting it, Lu Jinyao felt that it was quite similar to starch.

Next, she came out of the space, ground the rock sugar into powder, mixed the milk, sugar and starch, poured it into the pot, boiled it, changed to a simmer, and turned it slowly, so that the milk became curdled .

While pulling the bellows, she lamented that it was too painful to have no natural gas in this era, and she missed the modern gas stove very much.

When the milk in the pot was mushy, she scooped up the milk and spread it out little by little in a large plate.

Then comes the crucial thing: cooling and freezing the milk until it becomes truly curdled.

Naturally, there were no refrigerators in ancient times. Fortunately, Yan Yi knew a little bit of ice magic, so Lu Jinyao gave him the milk paste, and then went to stir the flour, peanut oil, water, and salt in a basin to adjust the temperature. into a paste.

In fact, a little baking powder should be added... But there is no one here, and Lu Jinyao couldn't find a substitute, so he simply left it out.

After mixing the crispy pulp on the outside, the oil in the pot was heated up, and the milk had been frozen solid. Lu Jinyao cut the milk into small pieces, dipped it in the crispy pulp, and put it into the pot one by one.

After frying until golden brown, take out the fried milk and put it on a plate.

Over there, the potato sticks prepared when making starch were soaked in milk early, and now it's time, after Lu Jinyao scooped up all the fried milk, he quickly asked the twin elves to drain the potato sticks and dip them in starch Then it was thrown into the frying pan.

She carefully controlled the heat, and when the French fries were fried to golden brown, she immediately took them out and put them on a plate.

The last step is to sprinkle the salt.

Although it was a pity that there was no tomato sauce, Lu Jinyao thought about it and took out the garlic chili sauce that he bought in the town earlier.

"Sister, sister, what is this? It seems delicious." The saliva of the twin elves glistened.

Lu Jinyao smiled slightly, and put half of it on a plate for them to eat, and then put the other half into the space to keep warm.

The next step is jujube milk, which is as simple as removing the pits from the red dates and putting them in while boiling the milk.

Jujube milk is naturally a bowl for each twin elf.
