Chapter 86 Harold: You guys made me laugh for a week
According to previous life experience, the sweetness of honey powder is lower than that of sugar. When making bread, you only need to replace the sugar in the ingredients with twice the amount of honey powder.
Harold seldom cooked for himself and didn't know how to make bread, so he used the void to find some bread recipes, followed the given steps, and succeeded on the first try.
Whether it is bread with added sugar or bread with dried nectar powder, the appearance is quite good, especially the bread with dried nectar powder. The outer crust is golden yellow, which is obviously different from the ordinary bread with brown crust.
Not sure how it tastes.
Harold first broke off a small piece of ordinary bread and tasted it. It tasted like ordinary toast, nothing special.
Then he tasted the bread with dried nectar powder added.
It was too sweet. It seemed that the sweetness of the dried nectar powder should be higher than that of honey. However, he could still feel from this failed product that the bread with the dried nectar powder was more elastic and had a stronger aroma than the bread with sugar.
He made another loaf of bread, this time using only 1.5 times the amount of dried nectar powder. The bread turned out to be very successful, making this culinary novice feel confident that even if he didn't become an academic, he could still reach the pinnacle of his life by opening a bakery.
Then, he successfully made jam according to the jam recipe, just replacing the sugar in the recipe with 1.5 times the mass of the dried nectar powder. The jam tasted very delicious, with a special fragrance. Sure enough, adding dried nectar powder can improve the taste of most products. Harold also recorded this data and conclusion.
A few days later, he finished organizing the experimental report and materials for this stage and prepared to submit them, and then made a batch of bread and jam, intending to bring them to his roommates to try.
Harold brought the things back to his home in Xumi City, where Elhaisen and Kavi were working.
The first time Harold saw Elhaisen using the typewriter, he hardly looked at the keyboard, his hands moved without any pause, and he pressed the type key three times in almost one second.
Noticing Harold's return, Elhaisen did not show any reaction. Although he left work faster than anyone else, he was very focused when he was working.
Kavi wanted to stand up and say something, but he was recording data and didn't want to disturb Elhaisen's work, so he just gave Haroldt an apologetic look.
Harold nodded to him, indicating that he understood. Then he put a basket of bread and five cans of nectar powder in the kitchen, returned to his room, put away the paper documents properly, and then casually took a book from a pile of books on the bedside table to enjoy the rare leisure time.
More than an hour later, there was a knock on the bedroom door, and Kavi's voice came in:
"Harold, today's work is done. I'm sorry for what happened just now... I really can't spare the time to greet you. Do you have anything to tell us?"
Harold closed the book and casually placed it on the bed sheet, then stood up to open the door. "Nothing serious, I just wanted to show the seniors my latest research results."
"Is it bread? I smelled the aroma as soon as you walked in. Could it be that your latest research topic is related to wheat?" Kavi guessed.
"No, I am still studying the deceitful plant, but the project on the domestication and reproduction of the deceitful plant has been basically completed. I came back mainly to submit the research report and apply for new research topics and research funds." Harold said with a smile.
Kavi hadn't heard Harold talk about his subject for a long time. When he heard Harold say this, his curiosity was aroused again:
"The liar flower can actually be artificially propagated? If you want to apply for a new research project, does that mean that your plan to use liar flower nectar to replace sugar has also been successful?!"
Harold nodded: "And I made my research results into bread, it tastes very good, you can try it, senior."
Harold and Kavi went to the kitchen together, brought the bread basket to the living room, and placed it right in front of Elhaisen.
Kavi waved a can of nectar powder in front of Elhaisen and said, "Stop looking at that crappy book of yours. Guess what this is."
"Someone's research report." said Elhaisen.
Harold smiled and said, "It's no fun to guess like this, Senior Elhaisen."
"That's what he said because he couldn't guess it."
Kavi unscrewed the bottle cap and placed the jar in front of Elhaisen. Elhaisen put down the book, and with interest, he scratched the back of the bottle cap with his index finger, dipped a little powder and twisted it.
"Powdered sugar? The colors aren't quite similar, but it should be something similar. But since you've prepared all of this carefully, should I congratulate you in advance on your successful research progress?" Elhaisen raised the corners of his mouth.
"Thanks, actually this is nectar powder, it tastes better than powdered sugar, are you interested in trying it?" Harold said with a smile.
"When soaked in water, it will turn into honey water, and can also replace sugar in making various foods, as long as the amount is controlled - this is also simple, just multiply the amount of sugar you put in by 1.5, and that is the amount of dried nectar powder you need to add."
"You can put off showing off your research achievements until later. Take a look at this. I think it will put you in a good mood."
Elhaisen took out a poster from the book. The poster was folded three times and used as a bookmark by Elhaisen.
"Isn't this what the House of Religion has been posting recently... Where did you get it from? Have you fallen to the point of tearing paper off the bulletin board in the middle of the night? Hey, how did you tear it off the bulletin board intact? Teach me?" Kavi asked curiously.
Elhaisen: "I admire your imagination. Obviously, this is a poster that was not put up in time. I saw it in the wastebasket in the tutor's office, so I picked it up. I thought Harold would be interested in it."
Harold unfolded the poster.
This is a poster used by Azar to promote Dun Dun peach sugar-making. In the picture, Azar is holding a basket of Dun Dun peaches and smiling brightly.
The moment Harold saw the picture, he burst out laughing.
"Won't it affect my reading mood if I put this in the book?" Harold asked with a smile.
"Not bad." Elhaisen simply replied with two words, but Haroldt could see that he was in a good mood.
"Well... in just three days, our great sage has been affectionately called 'Dunduntao Sage' by the residents of Xumi City.
When I was at the construction site, I heard many residents talking about this matter. When the production of Dun Dun peach sugar becomes truly popular, the reputation of the House of Commons among the people will probably improve. Harold, you are now a great contributor to the House of Commons!
Let alone staying in the Order as a mentor in the future, even if you say you want to be a sage, few people will object, right?" Kavi joked with a smile.
Harold waved his hands to show his disapproval, but he couldn't stop laughing. Sack, he didn't expect it to be so funny at first.
The next day, he went to the House of Ordinances with his research results and report, and deliberately took a look at the bulletin board when passing by.
In addition to Azar's poster, he also saw a series of papers published by Siraj starting from "A sheep has four legs, how many legs do ten sheep have?"
Harold: ...
...Oh no, buddy, are you serious?
