Chapter 126 Making Cream

Deng Yin has a real talent for writing storybooks; what she just said was all improvised on the spot, without a draft.

The quality of a story does not depend on whether it is new or not, but on whether the listener believes it.

Anyway, Gou Dan believed it.

Deng Yin didn't go too far; he just made him take on all the housework except cooking.

He can't do these chores for more than a few days. After Deng Yin learns how to make cakes, the two of them will go to live in the city for a while.

The quality of a cake depends on both its smooth and delicate cream and its soft and sweet cake base.

Most people would learn to make the cake base first, because without a cake base, even if they made it, there's nowhere to spread the cream. But Deng Yin was different; she learned to make the cream first.

The cake base doesn't matter; whatever Deng Yin spreads cream on, that's what makes it a cake.

No one here has ever eaten cake, so even if Deng Yin smeared cream on mung bean cakes and said that this was cake, no one would object.

Moreover, Deng Yin also has fruit; spreading cream on the fruit and selling fruit boxes would be a good option.

Deng Yin should have practiced this kind of thing in her spatial dimension, but considering Gou Dan, she chose to take the time-wasting path instead.

Making cream is very simple. Since Deng didn't have all the ingredients, he simply used whatever he had on hand.

The first step is to milk the cows.

In order to avoid alerting Gou Dan, Deng Yin made sure Gou Dan was asleep before entering the space to milk him.

Deng Yin had never learned or seen milking cows before.

But as the saying goes, the principle remains the same no matter how things change. Deng Yin had seen how large pigs feed their piglets, and the process should be the same when it comes to cows.

......

The facts prove that the gap is still quite large.

When a sow nurses her piglets, she doesn't kick them, but a cow does.

Fortunately, she was agile and dodged all three kicks.

The chess bull is very large; even though it hasn't been eating well lately, it's still bigger than the horse.

With that kick, Deng Yin won't need to earn any money anymore.

How can a disabled person earn money?

Adhering to the principle of "better to die than to die myself," Deng Yin tied the chess ox to the yard and woke up Gou Dan in the middle of the night to make him milk the cow.

Gou Dan has a bad temper when he wakes up, but when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

The system's body was indeed different from that of a normal person; Gou Dan's strength was extraordinary. It wasn't that Qi Niu didn't kick Gou Dan; on the contrary, because Gou Dan had even greater strength, Qi Niu wanted to kick him ten times a second.

But Gou Dan could easily grasp the chess bull's outstretched hoof with one hand. Deng Yin watched in stunned silence. If he had known Gou Dan was so strong, he would have given him the job of milking the cow long ago!

What does it mean that she spent the time it takes for an incense stick to burn and didn't even manage to squeeze out half a bowl of milk?

After Gou Dan finished milking the cows, all four chess-like oxen staggered in unison.

Freshly squeezed milk contains mostly foam, which needs to be left to stand to dissipate.

After defoaming, high-temperature sterilization is required, and every researcher needs a thermostat.

The thermostat consists of two parts: an upper tray made of cypress metal, shaped like a bowl, and a lower temperature controller.

Once turned on, it looks just like a pot, the only difference being that a pot produces steam, which gives a burning sensation. But not a single wisp of steam comes out of the thermostat.

The tray has a temperature-locking function, so whether it is heating or cooling, the effect only affects the contents of the tray and will not escape.

To completely kill bacteria in milk, the taste will inevitably be affected, and the nutritional value will be greatly reduced. However, if the bacteria in milk are not completely killed, the storage time will be greatly shortened.

However, Deng Yin has a spatial storage space, so she doesn't care how long she can keep it there, as long as it's in her space before it expires.

The tray on the thermostat isn't very big, since it's used to melt metal; making it too big wouldn't be useful.

Cypress metal does not react with any substance, but since it was used to burn some not-so-clean things in the past, even if it didn't have any effect, it still feels strange to use it to hold food now.

Deng Yin simply used a piece of cypress metal to make a tray in the shape of the pot, so that he could boil more milk at once.

The newly made trays do not have heat-locking technology, so the heat will dissipate into the air as the temperature rises. Fortunately, the temperature is not high, only 65°C, but it still takes a full half hour to heat one tray.

Deng Yin set a timer function, and while the milk was heating up, she washed a bunch of fruit.

These four chess-like cows can produce enough milk to fill three pots a day. While the first pot is cooling down, the second pot is already being sterilized.

After the first batch of milk cooled down, the second batch was ready in half an hour.

This time, Deng Yin didn't rush to sterilize the third batch of milk. Instead, he set the temperature to 45°C, poured the cooled first batch of milk into the pot, and stirred it over low heat the whole time.

Turn off the heat when the milk starts to bubble slightly, and pour the juice of the arugula into the pot while stirring.

Originally, this step should have included white vinegar or lemon, but since they weren't available here, Deng Yin simply used basil instead.

Tree berries grow on trees, are entirely green, and have a fragrant aroma, but taste extremely sour.

After a few minutes of soaking, the milk, which originally looked very smooth, turned into a flocculent state. Filter the milk through cheesecloth, but don't drain it too much; just enough so that it doesn't drip.

Add sugar to the filtered milk and whisk quickly until smooth and free of lumps.

This cream is now ready. You can eat it now or refrigerate it for a while before eating.

Deng Yin divided the cream into two portions, refrigerating one portion and mixing the other with the freshly washed fruit.

Mix cream with fruit; even if the cream tastes bad, the fruit can make it taste less bad.

After mixing it, Deng Yin tasted it first, and only after confirming that the taste was not bad did he give it to everyone to eat.

This was just a trial run; Deng Yin didn't do much, only giving Gou Dan a small half-bowl of fruit boxes.

Dog Egg didn't expect to get a share, but then he remembered that he had squeezed the milk himself in the middle of the night, and he started to feel that he hadn't received enough.

Deng Yin only received a small half bowl; to be precise, apart from Wang Xi, everyone else only received a small half bowl.

Deng Yin is quite talented in cooking; she made cream so successfully on her first try. But compared to Li Pingle, she's still far behind.

This is the difference between original and non-original works. No matter how amazing the non-original works are, they are just reaping the benefits of the original works.

Deng Yin humbly asked Li Pingle, "I followed the original recipe for almost every step, so why is the taste so different?"

Li Pingle had never eaten anything like this before, and didn't know what it was supposed to taste like.

"Try it again and let me see," Li Pingle said. "I'll see if there's anything I can improve."
