Chapter 323 Making Milk Tea
He picked up a piece of dessert and started eating.
The pastry looks hard and colorful on the outside, but when you take a bite, it is surprisingly smooth and has a light milky aroma.
But this hint of milky aroma can almost be ignored for those who often consume goat milk.
This tea is very refreshing and invigorating.
Then he asked, "What is this? This is the first time I drink it, it tastes good."
“This is a tea unique to our tribe, brewed using a special method and used to make tea, which has a unique flavor.
Moreover, different teas have different effects.
Oh, by the way, if you mix tea leaves with milk, you can make milk tea, which tastes even better and women and children love it very much.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Zhen Tianhao became very interested in this.
What's the most abundant product on their grassland? It must be goat's milk, horse's milk and cow's milk.
If we can develop better-tasting milk tea, it will be of great benefit to the tribe.
"Then can I try the milk tea?" Mu Zhen Tianhao asked directly.
"You can only get the milk after your sister changes her clothes, so I'll cook it for you later." Gu Xiang said.
"We have plenty of milk. I'll ask them to get it now." After Mu Zhen Tianhao said this, he gave a few instructions to his followers.
After hearing the order, the follower retreated, then rode the horse next to him and headed towards the Muzhen tribe in front.
After a while, several jugs of milk were brought over, including goat's milk, cow's milk and horse's milk.
He followed and presented three pots of milk.
These three jugs, each inlaid with gems of different colors, are usually used to store milk, and each color represents a type of milk.
Mu Zhen Tianhao introduced them one by one and asked, "What kind of milk do you think should be used to cook it?"
Gu Xiang usually drinks milk tea, which is also made by his third aunt or the kitchen nanny. He only knows how to make it, but he has never studied what kind of milk is the best.
But since there are several, why not try them all.
So I said, "We mostly use milk at home, but since you have three kinds here, why don't we try them all and see which one tastes better together."
"Okay, I can learn from you and try it to see if it tastes good." Mu Zhen Tianhao said.
Young people are at an age full of vigor and vitality. When they are in the mood, they will start working immediately.
Gu Xiang went into his luggage again and took out a tea stove set.
He placed the small stove on the table, took out some charcoal with tongs, lit it, and started to boil water and make tea.
After the water boiled, simmered it for a while. When the tea soup became thick, put the milk into the pot and started to boil it.
Suddenly, I remembered that when my third aunt was doing research, she seemed to have added some salt.
He ran to the stove again, took some salt from the salt shaker and sprinkled it into the milk tea.
Take a small tea spoon and stir evenly.
After a while, the rich milk aroma and the refreshing tea aroma blended together to form a unique smell that lingered at the noses of several people.
Mu Zhen Tianhao sniffed the air in ecstasy and couldn't help but praise, "This smells really good! Is this milk tea?"
"Yes, this is the simple version of milk tea. There are many varieties of milk tea, and this is the simplest."
Next, Gu Xiang explained to Mu Zhen Tianhao the types of milk tea and their taste and flavor.
Mu Zhen Tianhao was amazed at what he heard, and he wished he could taste it right now, the pearl milk tea, the red bean milk tea...
Seeing that the tea was almost done, Gu Xiang held the small strainer on the mouth of the pot with one hand, lifted the small pot with the other hand, and poured the cooked tea into a large bowl.
Then he used a small tea spoon to divide a portion for himself and the other two. "A Jing, Third Prince, you guys try it. This is my first time making milk tea. You guys try it and see how it tastes."
"Okay." They both responded in unison.
They both picked up the milk tea in front of them at the same time, sniffed the fragrance first, and then took a sip.
Song Renjing tasted it and nodded, "It tastes good, but it has a stronger milk flavor than the ones at home."
"It can't be compared with what I make at home. It must be the problem with the milk." Gu Xiang said after tasting it.
As soon as Mu Zhen Tianhao took a bite, his eyes instantly widened and shone with a bright luster.
Without waiting to say anything, he took another big sip.
He drank too much in just one sip and it scalded him.
But he was reluctant to spit it out, so he swallowed it bit by bit.
Just as he finished the scalding hot tea in his mouth, he looked up and saw Song and Gu waiting for his comments with anticipation.
He gave Gu Xiang a thumbs up and said, "These milks with these tea leaves added have a smooth taste and a light fragrance. They are not greasy at all. Not to mention women and children, I also love to drink it."
Song Renjing and Gu Xiang looked at each other when they heard this, and they both thought in tacit understanding that this little prince should also be considered a child.
"Third Prince, it's good that you like it, but you still have to drink less. I'm afraid that this is your first time drinking tea and it will affect your sleep. This tea has the effect of refreshing you.
Besides, there will be delicious food later, so Prince should save some space for the delicious food." Gu Xiang kindly reminded.
After tasting Gu family’s snacks, tea and milk tea, Mu Zhen Tianhao now begins to look forward to Gu family’s delicious food.
After tasting the milk tea together, the relationship between the three of them became much more harmonious.
After Gu Fu changed his clothes and came to the dining table, they chatted about many interesting things about the grassland.
For example, we know that Muzhen Tianhao and his tribe are a small or medium-sized tribe in the grassland.
When the rebel army first arrived on the grassland, they used force to suppress the people of the large tribe and forced them to hand over horses, food, furs and other supplies.
He used threats and promises of benefits to gain a group of followers.
However, because Gu Fu and his men made a big fuss, they let the rebels' horses go and burned their food and grass, which resulted in their rebel army becoming a completely empty-handed commander.
These rebel troops took advantage of the fact that everyone was not yet able to react and used force to intimidate and suppress the people, forcing the tribes that depended on them to hand over their weapons, furs and food.
After that, they began to put pressure on the surrounding tribes to ask them to provide food, furs and horses.
But for some reason, it is becoming increasingly difficult to catch horses on the grassland.
And they were scattered widely, so when we really caught them, we didn't catch a large group like before.
Now, at most a few dozen horses are captured at a time, and sometimes we encounter captured horses that not only run away, but also take away the tribe’s horses.
Their tribe was originally small in size, and they had just offered a batch of horses to them a few years ago. How could they afford to offer them more horses now?
So the king of the Muzhen tribe led his people to migrate to a more remote grassland overnight.
I understand now. I never knew there was an interesting custom. In the future, anything that is not as good as a toy will be inherited by the youngest son.
