Chapter 220 - 220 Making Butter
220 Making Butter
“Ah!” The three of them howled again. Xiao Langquickly ran out and shouted, “Mother! Is it time to eat?!”
Mother Jian’s gentle voice sounded, “It’s almost time!”
Jian Qingqing saw that it was almost time, so she opened the lid and took out the double-skinned milk that was steamed in the pot.
“Wow!” The three little ones exclaimed in unison. The moment the lid was opened, an extremely rich milk fragrance and steam sprayed out at the same time. Even Old Man Jian and the others in the other kitchen could smell it.
Old Man Jian walked over slowly and stood at the door, exclaiming, “Big sister is really good at cooking!”
Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “Of course. Grandpa, Please wait a little longer. You can eat it after you finish eating!”
Old Man Jian smiled and said, “I’m not in a hurry. I’m not in a hurry.”
Jian Qingqing put all the double-skin milk into a basin of cold water and waited for it to cool down. Then, she chased the few little ones out. She planned to try making butter.
Two barrels of milk. She used half a barrel to make the double-skin milk, and there was still one and a half barrels left. She did not know how much butter she could make, and she did not know if it would be successful. After all, she had never used fresh milk to make butter.
She was afraid that one portion would not be successful, so she divided the milk into three portions. She intended to use these three portions to do an experiment.
The first step was to heat the milk in the pot. She chose to heat the first portion of the milk, and then added some vinegar to it. She stirred the milk until the white floc texture of the milk came out. Only then did she stop heating it, then, she filtered the milk out and got the cheese.
Jian Qingqing put the cheese into the bowl, then put in the right amount of sugar, and used two chopsticks to beat it in the same direction.
The beating of the cream was very tiring. Not only did she have to be strong, but she also had to be fast. After only beating for a while, she did not get anything, and her arms were already exhausted.
Jian Qingqing shook her sore hands. She felt that this was not good. She shouted outside, “Xiao Lang! Come quickly!”
Xiao Lang, who was playing with his two brothers outside, heard this and immediately rushed in. He shouted, “Sister! Can we eat it now?”
Jian Qingqing patted his head and said, “What are you thinking about? Come quickly, hit this cheese like I did. Don’t stop until I say so.”
She signaled for him to see.
“Oh.” Xiao Lang took it sadly. He blinked his big eyes and said, “Can I eat two bowls of double-skin milk later?”
Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “Double-skin milk is nothing. When you beat the cream, it will taste 100 times better than double-skin milk!”
“Really?!” Xiao Lang was pleasantly surprised. When he heard that the cream was better than double-skin milk, he did not resist and quickly beat the cream with his chopsticks like Jian Qingqing.
Xiao Lang was really good at practicing martial arts. He beat it hard and fast. In a short while, the cheese was beaten with the texture of cream.
Jian Qingqing saw that it was almost done, so she stopped and added some sugar to it, saying, “Continue.”
Xiao Lang felt that it was amazing that the ugly cheese was beating something white and soft. Without Jian Qingqing’s urging, he quickly stirred it himself.
At this time, Mother Jian shouted, “It’s time to eat!”
Jian Qingqing replied, “Okay!”
She saw that the cheese in the bowl was almost ready and cheered for Xiao Lang, “Faster! It’s almost ready!”
Xiao Lang moved faster and faster until the cheese in the bowl turned into white and fine cream, so thick that a chopstick could stand on it.
Jian Qingqing did not expect it to be so smooth. She used her fingers to dig a little bit and tasted it. The texture was smooth and tender. It was not bad! The cream was a success!
