Kuaichuan loves you for a lifetime

It is precisely because the Central Plains is so beautiful and beautiful that foreigners have been eyeing it for many years, wanting to occupy this rare paradise.

Although most of the time, the power of the Central Plains is stronger than that of the foreign tribes, and they have built city walls at the border to keep the enemy out of the border, but the brave foreign tribes can still cause troubles for the Central Plains in some areas. casualties and material losses.

The reason for this situation is that apart from the fact that the foreigners often struggled for their lives due to the perennial hard life, those who survived were basically strong and strong-willed. The large number of war horses and foreign cavalry were also one of the important reasons.

To put it simply, a four-legged horse can run much faster than a two-legged man. The cavalry is the main force on the grassland, and the infantry is the main force in the middle. If the infantry is not prepared in advance, the two sides will suddenly start an encounter However, the cavalry can outperform the infantry by a large margin in terms of flexibility alone. If the numbers of the two sides are equal, most cavalry will kill the infantry unilaterally.

Moreover, in the era of cold weapons, war horses are not only extremely important military equipment for charging into battle and defeating the enemy, but also the main strategic delivery vehicle for post stations and logistics support, which is directly related to the outcome of the war, so it has always been valued.

Those horses with good qualifications are basically in the hands of nobles, and they are not easily circulated outside. Therefore, it can be said that good horses are hard to find among the people, and rare ones are more expensive. Even bad horses are not cheap in the market .

Besides horses, cattle and donkeys are the most common on the market. Relatively speaking, cattle are the main labor force for farming and are also protected, so donkey carts are the most common.

But regardless of whether it was a cow, a horse, or a donkey, let alone how easy it was to obtain, Si Xiu couldn't ride it, so it was an impossible task for him to let himself out like everyone else.

When we arrived at Zhuangzi, the master didn't have to worry about anything, he went to rest on his own, and Si Xiu, who was exhausted, had to help others move things up and down and pack things up and down. After all the troubles were over, Si Xiu had time to eat something .

After the meal, Si Xiu's enthusiasm before coming here basically cooled down.

The next few days also confirmed Si Xiu's previous thoughts.

Horseback riding, flower viewing, barbecue, hunting, these recreational activities have nothing to do with Si Xiu, what Si Xiu can do is to do auxiliary work for the master in the small space of the kitchen.

Of course, it’s not that Si Xiu didn’t do any other actions. Si Xiu gave the master an idea and asked him to make a new kind of dessert, which is very popular with these young masters and ladies. Master Wang got a lot of rewards for it , give a little to Si Xiu, and Si Xiu also made a small fortune.

The dessert that Si Xiu proposed to his master was "Sugar Steamed Crispy Cheese".

When Si Xiu first started reading "Dream of Red Mansions", because he was still young, he didn't have much feeling for the entangled love between men and women in it. Instead, he was quite interested in the costumes, architecture and other humanistic features in it. , but those special delicacies inside.

Chapter No.19 of the book mentions Jia Yuanchun’s home visits. There is a plot, that is, after Jia Yuanchun taught Jia Baoyu’s homework, he was very satisfied with Jia Baoyu’s progress. After returning to the palace, he specially sent someone to reward him. Give him the same food, that is, sugar steamed crispy cheese.

Since then, Si Xiu has always been very curious about the dessert in the palace, "Sugar Steamed Crispy Cheese", but the conditions were limited at that time, and the relevant source could not be found. He only found out some clues after he knew how to surf the Internet. Simply put, this It's homemade flavored yogurt.

In modern society, yogurt is no longer a rare thing, and it is cheap and rich in taste. It has become one of the most widely accepted drinks by the general public and is loved by people from all walks of life.

But at this time, yogurt is still a scarce item, not to say how complicated it is to make, it’s just that dairy products are not popular now, and people don’t have this awareness yet.

The most common drinks now, besides plain water, are all kinds of tea soups. Only those with a higher class can afford such an expensive item as honey.

Sweet drinks like honey are popular at any time, especially when the sugar making process is underdeveloped and sugar is a scarce item, honey, a natural dessert, is even more popular.

It's not that there is no artificial beekeeping, but when the technology is immature, the output is slow to increase, and the taste is not very good, so the current honey is better to pick in the wild, and honey picking is a thing in this world. Sometimes it is really life-threatening. Not only must you be wary of bees chasing and stinging you, but also be careful whether there are any other creatures around you.

At least, it is well known that bears love to eat honey. Although the possibility of encountering it is very small, in case of encountering it, there is no other way but to ask for blessings.

Compared with honey, a drink suitable for all ages, no matter whether it is milk or goat milk, it is obvious that there is not much audience in the high-level or the private sector.

Restricting their circulation, one is the small number of dairy cows in the Central Plains, and the other most important reason is that they do not know how to handle them. The freshly squeezed milk has a fishy smell, which is unacceptable to most people, and there are many bacteria in it. Drinking it rashly will also make people feel uncomfortable. These two reasons have greatly restricted the promotion of dairy products.

Speaking of it, it is the aliens on the prairie who can accept the matter of drinking milk. They are quite advanced in dairy products. Kumiss is also a widely recognized prairie specialty in modern times, and their history of making cheese is relatively long.

Si Xiu was able to think of the delicacy of "Sugar Steamed Crispy Cheese" because he saw that there are rare creatures like cows in Zhuangzi. After inquiring, he found out that the former Huguo Gong had seen foreigners drinking milk on the grassland and felt that they were physically fit. Being so strong may have something to do with this matter, so I managed to get a few cows and wanted to explore.

Obviously, because there is no way to carry out further processing, that exploration obviously failed. Only a few cows were left to be raised in the village, and they usually don't pay much attention to it.

Those responsible for raising cows also complained about this matter, thinking that the milk produced by cows is a useless thing, the only function is to waste manpower, and all the milk that is squeezed out is poured out except for feeding the cubs. .

Regarding their operation, Si Xiu can only say "violent waste".

But since Si Xiu discovered this problem, there is a corresponding solution.

Adding honey to the milk is obviously a good way to remove the fishy smell, and this time, although honey is expensive, it is also included in the carry-on items.

Although Si Xiu has an idea, it is obviously unrealistic to operate it by himself, so he can only find his own master.

For Si Xiu’s idea, Master Wang refused at first. He has been making dim sum for so many years, and it’s not like he hasn’t seen someone who wanted to make some dairy products, but most of them failed in the end. Strange smell.

There is also honey, although the Duke Protector's Mansion does not lack this kind of thing, but it cannot be used at will. If the attempt is ineffective and the good honey is wasted, even he will have to suffer.

Is Si Xiu the kind of person who can give up easily?Obviously not.

Therefore, under Si Xiu's continuous soft and hard paving, Master Wang's answer is not difficult to understand.

Although Master Wang agreed to Si Xiu, his actions were still very cautious. Although Si Xiu repeatedly emphasized that using honey to remove the fishy smell would definitely be effective, since Si Xiu could not tell the exact reason why he knew this method, Master Wang could not either. How trust him.
