On the red-tiled roof of Chu Se, two birds stood side by side, looking at the three people and other animals below. A black-and-white cow is now standing beside the stone trough munching on the feed, with its tail twitching from time to time.
The fur of this cow is very clean and smooth, and there is a little oily light reflected in the setting sun. The stomach on both sides is slightly bulging, and it feels full and full to the touch.
moo~
Seeing the three approaching, it raised its head and chirped, and then continued to graze. When the distance is closer, the sound of exhalation from the cow's nose can be heard from time to time, and then the sound of chewing grass. There was a calf hiding behind the cow on the other side, and it looked at these people from time to time from the gap under the mother's belly, and seemed a little scared.
"I want to touch it." Ye Ling approached with small steps in the grass, but unfortunately the little calf was always hiding.
"If you don't find something it likes to eat, it won't hide from you." Roland Hill tapped his finger on his chin and thought for a moment.
"Then what kind of things do Niu Niu like?" Ye Ling raised his bent body, looked around a little, then took out a bunch of green grass from the haystack and swayed in front of the calf.
The calf opposite looked at the swaying grass and blew, but still did not move.
"This is too common, it's not interested." Ye Ling was a little discouraged when he saw that the calf couldn't come.
"Do you want to try it without fruit. Actually, I don't usually feed a calf. It usually drinks milk, and only occasionally eats a little feed." Bumantha also helped Ye Ling with an idea at this time.
"Fruit, but where are you going to find fruit?"
When Ye Ling was still distressed, a familiar voice came from behind him, "Give".
Loren Hill handed over an orange-red orange.
Holding this orange, Eidolon seemed to have picked up a fun baby, and peeled it open, the juice in the orange peel splashed, and the air exuded a fresh fruity fragrance.
Following this sweet smell, the calf really looked over.
In this way, Ye Ling took the peeled orange and walked closer to the calf again, while the other side stepped on his hooves uneasy, some wanted to run, but looked at the orange in Ye Ling's hand.
In the end, when the calf made up his mind to leave, Ye Ling had already stepped forward, covering his hand on the calf's head and stroking it.
"Hehe~" Touching the swirling hair on the calf's head, Ye Ling let out a smug laugh, and then handed a piece of orange flesh to the calf's mouth.
The calf stretched out its tongue and licked the orange flesh petals. After testing it several times, it rolled into its mouth to chew it, and then ate it silently. This calf was fed with such a piece of orange flesh, and it gradually settled down.
After stroking the calf, Ye Ling came to the big ox and watched it grazing, then squatted down and hugged his knees to observe, looking under the cow, a little eager to try.
"Slow down, Eidolon." Bumansa stopped Eidolon for a while, then took out a tin bucket from the utility room and came to the cow and put it down.
She first touched the cow, soothed it for a while, and wiped the milk with a warm cloth, then placed the tin bucket under the cow and began to soothe and squeeze.
White juice spurted out of it, hit the inner wall of the tin bucket, and then stayed along the wall.
"When squeezing, don't use too much force, so the cow will hurt, and maybe it will kick you." Bumantha said the key to Eidolon.
"Also, try to soothe it as much as possible to prevent inflammation in the cows."
"Hmm." Ye Ling was curious and excited and squatted aside to watch.
"Try it now, slow down first." Bumansa handed over the hot towel.
"Okay." Eidolon wiped his hands with a towel, then held the pair and began to squeeze.
At first she was very careful and nervous, but when everything went well, she gradually relaxed.
"It's not difficult~"
After squeezing one, there is another. After squeezing, the barrel is nearly half filled.
"Well, it tastes a little fishy." Looking at the warm milk in the bucket, Ye Ling wanted to drink some, but his nose moved, and he hesitated.
"Silly Yeling, you can't drink this directly." Roland Hill also came over at this time, squatting aside with a smile.
"Lorraine is right, it needs to be dealt with again." Then Bumantha walked into the house with a tin bucket.
After returning to the kitchen, Lorraine and Ye Ling also followed.
"The first thing is to stir." Bumantha took off a long pole on the wall with a round plate on its head.
"King Kong Is Not Bad Dazhai Master"
Put this long rod into the milk and keep stirring, slowly, a layer of semi-solid white substance gradually separates in the milk.
"The top layer is butter." Bumansa pointed to the white oil-like substance on the top of the milk.
"Although it looks white now, but after taking it out and heating it in a pot and cooking it, it will show a light yellow color."
"It's amazing~" Ye Ling cheered.
"The white liquid below is the milk you usually drink, but it needs to be heated and sterilized before you can drink it."
"The butter obtained on the upper layer can be used to make cake bread, or stored, and the milk below can also be added to the baking ingredients. If you can't finish it, you can also put it in a container to let it ferment, then filter the water and cook it as you go. Stir to make cheese."
"These are the most common ingredients in pastry." Bumantha introduced the use of dairy products.
"So that's how the butter came from. I used to think that butter was yellow oil." Eidolon took the stick in Bumantha's hand and continued to stir.
"Do it well, Little Eeling, I'll make you some cheese to eat later."
Bumantha encouraged Eidolon, who was working hard, so that Loren Hill couldn't tell whether she was really encouraging or suppressing child labor. But Ye Ling was really happy.
While Eidolon was fiddling with the milk, Roland Hill and Bumantha were also chatting about other things.
"Does Bumantha know about Lily's current situation?"
"I know, Lily is in the palace now, it's Her Majesty the Queen." Bumansa nodded and continued.
"I saw her at the wedding a few years ago. Because I wanted to keep a low profile, I deliberately didn't show my face in front of her, and I even asked the owner of the cake house not to reveal my name."
"Fortunately, the judges and the great nobles don't care who the specific pastry chef is. They only know that this is the property of Earl Hongyuan."
"Lily was very happy at the time." Bumantha recalled the extravagant and grand wedding, the parade of floats and the long queue.
"That day happened to be mid-August, when the moon was rising in the past. In order to decorate the cold night sky, His Majesty the Emperor set off many colorful fireworks in the capital, and the burst of light rained almost all over the city."
"At that time, I also secretly blessed, thinking that Lily's previous wish was fulfilled, maybe she didn't expect it herself." Bumantha showed a nostalgic smile on her face.
"Unfortunately, too many changes happened later..." Bumansa sighed. She also heard various news about the empire one after another this year.
"But this is the end of the matter, and I can't help you much. The capital is like a chaotic vortex, and she is at the center of power. If she really wants to come out, she can only rely on herself. Since she has become the queen, she will It is destined to carry a huge responsibility.”
"It's just that this kind of growth may be destined to be accompanied by pain."
The two of them sat on the threshold steps of the house, watching the sunset gradually sink into the ground, the world slowly entering a dark blue world, only the warm yellow candlelight behind them illuminated the shadows of the two of them diagonally, reflecting on the house. Front steps and grass.
"Come on, Dai Ju, if you mix it well, I'll make you big drumsticks tonight."
The words of the two gradually stopped, and Ye Ling's happy commanding voice came from behind. Roland Hill looked back and saw Dai Ju standing by the bucket with a wooden stick in his mouth, struggling to stir the fresh milk, while Ye Ling was Sit at the table, prop your head up, and cheer for it.
