He first made a small pot of popcorn with homemade butter, and it was indeed more delicious than that made with modern butter. Xu Congyi was relieved now. He could teach the recipe to Tang Wenhao in a year. This method of making butter must be unique here, and butter has a wide range of uses. In the future, many delicious snacks can be made. Snacks with butter have a special milky flavor. If Tang Ji masters the method of making butter, it can also be regarded as "core competitiveness".

After making popcorn for the next day, Xu Congyi started to make his own breadcrumbs. Although there was no bread in this era, there were already a lot of leavened foods, such as the leavened bread left over from yesterday. Xu Congyi tore the leavened bread into small pieces, put them into the pan and stir-fried them over low heat. After a while, the small pieces of leavened bread became browned. At this time, you can directly smash them with a small shovel, and scoop out the larger pieces and rub them into crumbs with your hands. Fry all the crumbs until they are crispy and dry, then scoop them out and let them cool for later use.

The rest is simple. Mix the milk, sugar and appropriate amount of starch evenly, put it on the fire and cook it into a thick milk paste. Stir it constantly to prevent the pot from sticking. Xu Congyi poured the milk paste directly into the ceramic basin used for kneading dough at home and brought it into the warehouse. Firstly, the basin has a large capacity, which is convenient for demoulding, and secondly, the bottom of the basin is flat, which is also convenient for cooling and cutting into pieces.

After lunch, it was time to fry the fresh milk. Xu Congyi kept some for the family to eat after the two brothers got out of school in the evening. The fried fresh milk tasted best when it was still hot right out of the pan. The rest was fried and eaten now and brought back to Tang Wenhao.

Turn the solidified milk paste upside down and cut it into strips. Add a little flour and eggs to water to make a batter and then dip it in the "bread crumbs" made in the morning. When the oil temperature rises, fry it in the pan. The fried milk has just been fried, and the servants come to deliver the box and take popcorn. The fried milk just out of the pan is the most delicious. The Xu family warmly invites the servants to eat together. The servants refused repeatedly at first, but when they smelled the tempting milk fragrance, they couldn't hold back and ate several strips in a row. The bread crumbs made with leavened bread are also good, and the fried effect is also very good, but making bread is simple, and you can use the oven of Tangji Pastry to make it, so that you can not only have delicious bread, but also have bread crumbs to use.

Xu Congyi packed up the remaining fried milk and asked the servant to take it back to Tang Wenhao, and asked the servant to tell Tang Wenhao that he could eat it directly, but if he wanted it to taste better, he could fry it again, so that it would taste as good as freshly cooked.

When the servant went back and gave the fried milk to Tang Wenhao, Tang Wenhao, who was originally very sleepy, suddenly became energetic. He took a piece to taste it first. The mixture of milky and sweet aromas was delicious.

"Miss Xu, did you tell you the name of this food?" Tang Wenhao thought that Xu Congyi asked for milk just to make this food, and this food would definitely be very popular if it was sold in the store.

"Ah... this... Young Master," the servant scratched his head embarrassedly, "Miss Xu didn't mention it, so I forgot to ask."

"Okay, it's okay. I'll go with you tomorrow and I'll ask myself," Tang Wenhao waved his hand casually, preparing to pick up another one and put it in his mouth.

"Oh, Master! Miss Xu told me that it would taste better if it could be re-fried!" The servant hurriedly told his Master. If he had told him a little later, the Master might have finished eating it.

Tang Wenhao stopped his hand from squeezing fresh milk and went to the kitchen with the box. Although he was the boss of Tang's Pastry, he was also a pastry chef. The chefs in the back kitchen were not surprised that he came here. There were several oil pans in the back kitchen of Tang's Pastry, because many exquisite pastries not only need to be baked in an oven, but also need to be fried to shape to look good. For example, Tang's very famous lotus pastry and chrysanthemum pastry need to be fried and then baked. Chrysanthemum pastry was also specially designated to be supplied to the Chrysanthemum Poetry Meeting a few days ago.

The kitchen was busy, and several waiters were making pastries. When they saw Tang Wenhao coming in, they all greeted him. Tang Wenhao smiled and responded, walked to a frying pan, and poured the fried milk in the box into the pan. There was a crackling sound in the frying pan, and the milk rolled in the hot oil, emitting an enticing aroma. Tang Wenhao scooped out the fried milk with a colander and put it on a plate beside him.

After frying, Tang Wenhao gave it to several chefs to taste. Even the master chef who made many New Year cakes praised it highly. When bitten, it was the same white color as milk and tasted like milk, but it was solidified milk. The fried milk was the same as when it was just out of the pot. When you bite the solidified milk jelly, you can feel that the inside is runny. After eating the fried milk, which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a rich milky aroma, Tang Wenhao was more determined to cooperate with Xu Congyi on this snack.

The next day, when the servant went to Xu's house, Tang Wenhao went with him. He originally wanted to call Shen Xiao, but Shen Xiao was in the academy teaching students these days and could not go. However, with the experience of going to Xu's house before, Tang Wenhao was not worried. Now he was eager to cooperate with Xu Congyi.

……

After using up the remaining milk yesterday, Xu Congyi did not plan to make butter with the remaining 25 kilograms. He asked each family member to drink a bowl of butter for breakfast in the morning. After making the popcorn, Xu Congyi moved a small stool to think about what else to eat with milk that was easy to make. After thinking for a long time, Xu Congyi decided to try milk tea. Tea here is as popular as it is now. Xu Congyi's family also has some tea that the old man Xu drinks. Although it is not black tea, it can also be used to make milk tea.

There were some sweet potatoes at home, so Xu Congyi picked two big ones, cleaned them, and steamed them in a steamer. She added some sugar while they were still hot, and then kneaded the sweet potato starch into the sweet potato puree in small amounts and multiple times. When they were kneaded into smooth balls, she rolled them into long and thin pieces, cut them into small pieces, and then rolled them into balls with her hands. The sweet potato balls were ready. Xu Congyi cooked more balls as usual and divided them into two portions. One portion was kept for her family to drink, and the other was taken back to Tang Wenhao.

The dumplings were cooked. Xu Congyi took them out and soaked them in cold water. He then boiled a pot of syrup with sugar and water, poured the dumplings in, cooked until boiling, then turned off the heat and set aside.

Xu Congyi planned to make a pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew for lunch. He hadn't eaten rice for a long time and was a little greedy, so Li Dahua asked Daniu to buy some rice from the city the day before. Today's lunch was rice with pork, cabbage and vermicelli. Xu Congyi specifically asked his mother to steam more. In the evening, she planned to make fried rice after his two brothers got home from school.

After making the dumplings, Xu Congyi didn't plan to cook them or make milk tea. Instead, she decided to wait until after lunch. Just as she was about to fry the pork slices, she heard her mother calling her from hanging clothes in the yard.

"Yi Yi, here comes the kid who's here to get the popcorn!"
