Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 15 I Can Understand Every Word You Say, But...

June in Chang'an City is the hottest time of the year.

Even in the evening, it is still uncomfortably hot.

After finally waiting for Yinger to buy all the things back, Qin Xiedao couldn't wait to prepare some delicious food for himself to cool off the heat.

"Lang Jun, everything is ready, do you want to go to the kitchen yourself?"

Although Yinger is not very old, she has been bought back by the Qin family for seven or eight years, and she still knows something about the situation of the nobles in Chang'an.

To put it bluntly, she has never heard of any noble man who cooks in the kitchen.

That's the cook's job.

"Go, take a few catties of saltpeter with you!"

Qin Xiedao didn't care how strange Yinger's eyes were, and hurried towards the kitchen.

He doesn't take it seriously if a gentleman stays away from the kitchen.

If you can make yourself eat better, you must eat well.

Although the Qin family is short of money now, he doesn't think it will be a problem with his own ability.

"Lang Jun, the milk you mentioned is really not easy to find in Chang'an City. These are mare's milk, and they are all about the same."

After arriving in the kitchen, Yinger saw that Qin Xiedao was really busy there, so she quickly explained the situation clearly.

"No problem, mare's milk is mare's milk!"

Qin Xiedao glanced at the dark frosting, and sighed inwardly.

In the face of this difference, the difference between mare's milk and cow's milk is not a big deal at all.

However, this can be regarded as making him aware of a business opportunity, and he can make a good deal of it later.

Steamed mare's milk, separated protein and egg yolk, stirred...

Qin Xiedao's movements were quick, and within a quarter of an hour, several bowls of dark double-skin milk appeared in front of everyone.

"Lang Jun, can this thing be eaten? It seems to have a faint fragrance?"

Yinger really wanted to help out, but found that she couldn't do anything.

It wasn't until the final product came out that it looked delicious.

"You can eat it now, but it's not the best way to eat it in hot weather, just wait a little longer."

Immediately afterwards, Qin Xiedao put the copper basin filled with a small amount of clean water into a large wooden basin, and then put bowls of double skin milk into the copper basin.

Ying'er couldn't understand the subsequent actions at all.

In the meantime, Qin Xiedao poured the saltpeter into the wooden basin, and then added clean water.

In an instant, mist began to emerge from the tub.

Ying Er's small face was full of surprise, and she waited with Qin Xiedao in the kitchen expectantly.

……

"Luye, are Xiedao and Yinger still in the kitchen?"

In the backyard, Mrs. Zhang sat under a pomegranate tree with a sad face to enjoy the shade.

As a housewife, she has a lot to think about.

Who's going to have a wedding or a wedding, what gifts do you need to give?

I don't have anything at home and need to buy it.

The weather has changed, and you need to consider re-arranging your clothes.

All kinds of things are basically planned by her.

But she also has a two-year-old son and a two-month-old daughter to take care of, so there are a lot of things to worry about.

Now, Qin Xiedao has recognized her ancestor and returned to her clan. Although she has some concerns, she still welcomes her very generously on the whole.

A while ago, Qin Xiedao was on duty at Xuanwu Gate as a whole and refused to come back. She was actually very worried.

However, now that Qin Xiedao is back, it has only been two days, and she is even more worried.

It's just that things are starting to change.

"Yes, I've been tossing around in the kitchen for quite a while. Ying'er even asked someone to squeeze a pot of mare's milk and bring it over. I don't know what to do in it."

Luye actually did not welcome Qin Xiedao's appearance.

As Zhang's personal maid, Luye has been by Zhang's side since she was a child, and naturally considers Zhang's interests first.

Obviously, in her opinion, it is not a good thing for Qin Xiedao to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, neither for Zhang nor for Qin Huaidao who is only two years old.

However, it's not up to her, a servant girl, to decide this kind of matter.

"Hey, forget it, Xiedao has suffered all these years, let him do whatever he likes."

It wasn't her own, and at such an advanced age, Mrs. Zhang didn't think beating or scolding was right, so she had to wrong herself first.

"Ah Lang went to General Chang's house for a banquet today. When he comes back, why don't you find a chance to mention it to him? Da Lang spends money like water, and it's completely meaningless. Our Qin family doesn't support it at all. Can't stop."

"Let's see it in a few days! If Xie Dao just started to go home and live here, it's not appropriate for me to say something wrong about him in front of Shu Bao."

It's hard to be a stepmother, it's been like this all over the world.

……

"Lang Jun, this...the surface of the water is frozen!"

In the kitchen, Ying'er stared dumbfounded at the smoky water surface, and found that the water there actually started to freeze after a while.

It's summer now.

The impact of this phenomenon beyond her cognition is absolutely astonishing.

"Yeah, it's frozen! This double-skin milk needs to be iced to be delicious! I made it too hastily today. If I can add some fruit to it, it will definitely taste better."

As a southerner who settled in Guangzhou, Qin Xiedao used to like to eat double skin milk.

I used to drive to Shunde with my buddies, just to eat the famous Shuangpi Nai.

The same food tastes different from the one in Shunde when you eat it in a store in Guangzhou.

I don't know if it's psychological.

"No, sir, why does this freeze?"

At this time, Ying Er's focus is no longer on Shuangpi Nai.

On the contrary, it was the ice cubes that appeared in front of them at such a time, which was too shocking.

In Chang'an City, ice is not only available in winter.

Some wealthy families, even the palace, also have special ice cellars to store ice cubes.

Those are specially transported to the ice cellar for storage in winter and eaten in summer.

Ordinary people simply cannot enjoy this luxury.

"It's very simple. After adding water to the saltpeter, it will absorb heat and let the temperature of the water drop. When it drops to a certain level, it will naturally freeze."

Yinger:? ? ?
Why can I understand every word you say, but when they are connected together, I don't know what it means?
"Okay, you don't need to know that much, as long as you know that you can make ice like this. Later, you will take two bowls of Shuangpi Nai to the backyard, then leave a bowl for Aye, and bring the rest to my room .”

Seeing that the work was about to be done, Qin Xiedao breathed a sigh of relief.

But I feel a little regretful.

When I came back today, I saw a melon farmer selling watermelons and forgot to buy one.

Otherwise, make an iced watermelon juice and pair it with double skin milk, and the coolness will be gone.
