Vomit quickly!
Can't stand the smell!
"That's right!" Su Changan took down the whole bag of cocoa beans with surprise and joy, and held it in his hand.
He didn't know when cocoa beans first came into existence.
I don’t know why cocoa beans appeared here as a tribute.
But in his previous life, he had a period of literary and artistic youth, and he saw a certain strange man Su Daqiang at that time, so at that time he wanted to drink hand-ground coffee by himself.
But I didn't know anything, so I just bought cocoa beans.
But in the end, we found out that coffee is made from coffee beans, and cocoa beans are used to make chocolate.
then
He then learned how to make chocolate.
Now that he has obtained the cocoa beans, he is too lazy to care about other things.
After all, this means that we can eat chocolate in this era!
but
If you want to make chocolate in this era, you should have other ingredients too.
While thinking this, Su Changan turned and walked towards the steward.
The chief steward glanced at the thing in Su Changan's hand. He had even forgotten what it was. "Do you want this?"
Su Changan nodded: "Yes, this is it. In addition to this, we also need milk, cheese, sugar, honey, vanilla oil and some dried fruits such as raisins."
Finished
Su Changan thought for a moment and said, "Cheese is cheese."
Although the steward was a little confused about what the young lady wanted these for, he still said respectfully, "We have everything. It just so happened that the Imperial Household Department sent the latest cheese yesterday. I had it all prepared and sent to your yard."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." But just after he finished speaking, Su Changan looked at the chief steward and said, "Do you have any wine? It would be best if it was soju or something like that?"
The chief steward nodded immediately and said, "Yes, I will have someone send them over as well."
The steward was a quick man. After responding, he immediately ordered people to prepare.
On Su Changan's side, after taking a look at the warehouse behind him, he thought about it and decided not to continue strolling.
Time passes slowly, so the important thing is to go back and prepare the chocolate!
After leaving the warehouse, Maomao, carrying a basket of herbs, looked at Su Changan in confusion.
of course
I also took one and threw it into my mouth.
then
Immediately, the expression of the mask of pain was revealed, and he spit it out immediately.
"It smells good, but why does it taste so bitter?" Maomao wiped his mouth and looked at Su Changan: "What are you going to do with this stuff? And you need so many high-end products."
"Make snacks." Su Changan said with a smile.
Maomao looked at Su Changan in confusion.
"Make a dessert called chocolate, and it won't taste bitter when it's done." Su Changan said with a smile.
The cat became even more confused.
Su Changan didn't explain much.
When Su Changan and Mao Mao returned to the yard, those things had already been delivered to the kitchen.
Yan Ruyu was also waiting for them in the yard.
After all, there were people from the Chixia Army following them secretly, so when Yan Ruyu knew that Su Changan and the others were still in the Su Mansion and just went to the warehouse, she was not worried and just waited in the yard.
Watching Su Changan rush into the kitchen impatiently and start working.
Yan Ruyu, who was standing at the kitchen door, asked in confusion, "What are you going to do? Moreover, there is cheese and milk, all high-end goods."
"They said they were going to make a dessert called chocolate." Maomao replied.
"Chocolate?" Yan Ruyu was surprised and didn't quite understand what this word meant.
However, seeing Su Changan's enthusiastic look, after thinking about it, he decided to wait until Su Changan finished his work before discussing what His Majesty had instructed him to do.
"You eat it first, the raw material he uses is very bitter. I won't eat it." Mao Mao said seriously.
Yan Ruyu: “…”
Being speechless for a moment, Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan curiously.
Su Changan searched around in the kitchen and finally found some equipment that looked usable.
But rather than being called equipment, they are actually just some bottles, jars, pots, and bowls.
The first thing is to take some cocoa beans out of the bag and put them in the pestle jar.
However, Su Changan took a look at the liquor over there, hesitated for a moment, and then took out some cocoa beans and put them into the pestle pot.
Turn it into powder!
So, get the epic item, cocoa powder!
But it is worth mentioning that because Su Changan traveled through time, in addition to having such a good-looking appearance, he is also very strong, and stronger than the average adult male.
So one of them failed to control the force and accidentally broke the pestle.
But fortunately not much cocoa powder was spilled.
But after all, there are others, so it doesn’t matter.
So he repeated the action again and crushed some cocoa beans into powder.
I put a little on my finger and licked it with my tongue.
It was still the familiar smell to Su Changan.
Then place the cocoa powder in a bamboo hat-shaped bowl.
After mixing the cocoa powder and sugar together and stirring twice, take the cheese (actually cottage cheese) and cut it into small particles with a knife.
Then mix the cheese crumbs into the cocoa powder and sugar.
After stirring them a little, set them aside.
Su Changan also started to light the fire and boil water.
After all, to make chocolate, you can't just pour the ingredients into the water, but do something similar to steaming.
In fact, it is heating through water.
Keep stirring while heating until the cheese and sugar are melted and become smooth and completely blended with the cocoa powder.
And don't use a high heat, otherwise it will be difficult to control the cheese and sugar, and the taste will be mixed.
after this
Add milk, honey and other things.
In fact, it is just a complete set of system operations, but Su Changan is so skilled because he failed many times in his previous life.
When you reach this step, it is time to start adjusting the taste.
In fact, it would be best to add flavors or other seasonings that can increase the aroma of chocolate.
But after all, the conditions are limited, so I can only choose vanilla oil.
While stirring, slowly pour in the vanilla oil.
The brown chocolate liquid in the bowl became much smoother.
Su Changan was not wasting time either. Seeing that it was almost ready, he immediately took out three bowls.
In one of them, I put in the dried fruit crumbs that I had crushed while waiting for the fire to boil, in another I poured in some shochu, which is actually distilled liquor, and in the last one I added nothing.
Hold the bowl of chocolate liquid through the rag and pour it into these bowls.
Su Changan saw that there was still some left.
After thinking about it
He took out another empty plate and placed the remaining dried fruits on it one by one.
Then gently pour in the chocolate liquid.
at last.
Just let the chocolate solidify.
Although it is early winter now and the weather is getting cooler, it is still feasible to put it outside.
But in this kind of weather, by the time the chocolate solidifies, its flavor will have already disappeared.
So Su Changan just asked Yan Ruyu to help get some big ice blocks from the cold storage.
Pile large ice cubes at the bottom of the large water tank, place a partition in the middle, and then cover it with a clean cloth.
Take the three bowls and the plate and place them on the partition.
of course
Both the bowls and plates are wrapped tightly to prevent the smell from escaping.
at last.
Seal the cylinder mouth completely! !
And just in case, Su Changan took some cotton cloth and wrapped the jar with it.
After all, this ensures the temperature so that it can solidify faster.
After doing all this, Su Changan looked at the remaining milk and cheese.
"How about making some cheese snacks?"
But after thinking about it, I realized that I didn't have any molds and the baking items were not complete, so I gave up.
