Guide to traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1230 Postscript 86·Xie Laoliu is a big scumbag

The Mayans collected cocoa beans, a slightly different process than today.

The cocoa fruit is simply picked, allowed to ferment naturally, dried in the sun, and then roasted in the shell to remove the cocoa beans.

From beginning to end, there is no need to wash it with water.

The large bag of cocoa beans that Xie Yan got was roasted without washing. There was a layer of residue from the fermentation and decomposition of the pulp attached to the surface.

It looks a little dirty, but it is difficult to peel it off directly.

Xie Yan felt that the cocoa beans seemed to be wet, so he simply asked the cook to fry them first.

He tried pounding a few re-fried ones, and found that the layer of residue separated automatically, and the impurities could be quickly screened out with a sieve.

"Get some goat milk!" Xie Yan ordered.

The princess's family keeps several ewes, which are specially used to produce milk. They have a milk production period of 8 months after giving birth.

While the cook was boiling goat's milk, Xie Yan started thinking about how to make chocolate.

He had already found out at the Sifang Pavilion that if it was made by the Mayans, it should be ground into powder first, then water, corn flour, and chili peppers and other seasonings should be added.

The final product is a mushy drink, which is shaken repeatedly to make the paste full of bubbles, and then drank directly without waiting for it to solidify.

Xie Yan tried to use the Mayan cooking method, but instead of adding corn flour, chili peppers, etc., he added goat milk and white sugar.

After some tossing, wait for it to solidify.

Xie Yan took a bite and thought it tasted okay. After all, he tasted it while adding ingredients.

But the taste is extremely rough and not silky at all.

And the appearance is very ugly, with holes everywhere on the surface and inside of the chocolate.

"Go to Daiyu and ask her to bring the finest filter in the laboratory." Xie Yan said to a kitchen worker.

The finest sieve in the laboratory has not been used yet, and the first time it was used was to sift cocoa liquor.

In the piano room.

Zhu Tangxi asked curiously: "Why hasn't Liulang come back yet?"

Qingluan was about to inquire when someone came from the kitchen.

When he heard that Xie Yan wanted to use a laboratory filter, Zhu Tangxi couldn't laugh or cry: "Why don't I dare to eat it?"

Qingluan then recommended himself: "I'm here to taste it for Your Highness."

"Go and see what he is doing." Zhu Tangxi said.

Qingluan and Daiyu took the strainer and ran to the kitchen together.

Xie Yan didn't wait around. He found that after high-speed stirring, the cocoa paste would become more delicate and smooth, which seemed to have the same effect as whipping cream.

So, a kitchen worker was ordered by Xie Yan to stir like crazy.

After the filter was brought over, Xie Yan shook and filtered the stirred cocoa pulp, quickly removing the bubbles and agglomerates inside, as well as the small amount of remaining impurities.

Now let’s look at the appearance of the cocoa paste, and there’s just two words: Silky!

I kept busy until evening when the first batch of chocolates was finally made. Moreover, the pastry mold is used, and the flower shape is really beautiful.

Xie Yan asked the cooks to divide the defective products from before.

"It smells so good!" Qingluan came closer and smelled it.

There is the burnt aroma of cocoa and the light milky aroma of goat's milk.

Xie Yan said to the cook: "Roast all those cocoa beans that have regained moisture, and be careful not to burn them. After frying, store them carefully to prevent them from getting damp."

Taking Qingluan and Daiyu, Xie Yan returned to the piano room.

Zhu Tangxi took a look and said with a smile: "After working hard for a long time, it turned out to be Mayan cakes."

Xie Yan said: "The Mayans don't know how to make this. They also add corn flour and chili to it. Sister, try it."

Zhu Tangxi picked up the chocolate and gently bit off a piece. His eyes suddenly opened a lot.

Qingluan asked out of curiosity: "Your Highness, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." Zhu Tangxi took another bite, savoring the texture and taste carefully.

Qingluan thought to himself: It looks really delicious. What kind of cakes has the princess not eaten before?

Xie Yan happily sat next to him, feeling particularly accomplished.

Qingluan was thinking about going to bed tonight, and took the opportunity to flatter him: "Liu Lang has been busy in the kitchen all afternoon, just to make this kind of cake for His Highness. If this matter spreads, all the daughters' families in and outside Luoyang City will be shocked. I’m afraid I’m extremely envious. How can their husbands love their wives so much?”

"Only you can say it." Zhu Tangxi smiled proudly.

She felt that the chocolate in her mouth was sweeter, and when she looked at Xie Yanzhi, her eyes were drawn.

Xie Yan said: "I only eat two pieces a day, don't eat too much. When these are finished, I will make them for my sister."

Perhaps because of her pregnancy, the princess is more prone to mood swings.

She was chewing chocolate in her mouth, thinking about the past few years, and suddenly she was so moved that she wanted to cry: "Mukuro, why do you treat me so well? It's like a dream."

"If I can't be nice to my sister, who else can I be nice to?" Xie Yan felt that the intimacy value had exceeded 100, and the extra value was hidden value.

If you switch to a love game, you can definitely unlock special plots.

Zhu Tangxi put away the remaining chocolates and asked Qingluan to take them and put them on the bedside cabinet.

Qingluan murmured in his heart: This is so delicious, I don’t even want to share a piece.

Had dinner.

Zhu Tangxi asked: "How much more of this kind of cocoa is there?"

Xie Yan said: "The Mayans only paid tribute to one sack. Counting my failed trial production, about one-tenth was used today."

"Only nine-tenths left?" Zhu Tangxi felt it was a pity. She liked chocolate, especially those made by Xie Yan himself.

Xie Yan smiled and said: "You can let the Queen Mother have a taste. If she likes it, she can include cocoa in trade goods, or even introduce cocoa trees from the United States."

"Yes, let the Queen Mother have a taste too!" Zhu Tangxi followed and laughed, laughing like a little fox.

Qingluan stood by and listened to their chat, just hoping that time would pass faster. She had already chosen the most attractive underwear and couldn't wait to wear it for Liu Lang to see.

Zhu Tangxi glanced at Qingluan from time to time.

The more anxious Qingluan was, the more interesting the princess found it, and the jealousy in her heart also faded a little.

Which woman is willing to share her husband?

The princess is no exception.

It's just that she is pregnant, and she can't let her husband hold it in all the time.

It was almost time to go to bed, Zhu Tangxi asked Xie Yan to accompany her back to the room, and then the two of them took off their clothes and hugged each other to sleep.

Qingluan's eyes widened, wanting to say something but stopping.

She really wanted to ask: Your Highness, did you forget something?

But she didn't dare to ask, so she could only retreat silently.

A perfect version at 16191 book1 bar!

Seeing Qingluan was depressed, the other maids didn't know how to comfort her, so they went back to their rooms to sleep, leaving only one person to take a nap on duty outside.

Zhu Tangxi leaned on her lover's arms, closed her eyes and said, "When I fall asleep, you go find Qingluan."

"I'll sleep with my sister." Xie Yan coaxed her hurriedly.

He had already figured out the princess's tricks, and retreating to advance was very useful. Just coaxing her casually would make the princess happy, and the princess would help him consider the rest of the things.

Zhu Tangxi reached out and grabbed Xie Yan's handle, saying with a bad taste: "See how long you can hold it in."

Xie Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turned into a domineering president: "Woman, you are playing with fire."

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore, go quickly," Zhu Tangxi pecked her lover's cheek, "I am very happy today, and that kind of cocoa cake is also delicious. If you have another woman in the future, don't ignore me. You must always coax me, I like to be coaxed by you, even if you cheat me."

Xie Yan said: "I won't lie to my sister, I will coax my sister for the rest of my life."

Zhu Tangxi rubbed against his arms: "It's enough for you to say this. Go quickly, don't let Qingluan wait too long."

Xie Yan continued to flirt with the princess, talked about love for a long time, and gave enough emotional value, and then he ran to Qingluan's room after three requests and three excuses.

As soon as he left the princess's bedroom, Xie Yan felt hot in his heart and felt extremely excited, as exciting as having an affair.

Scumbag!

The maid on duty outside was dozing off wrapped in a blanket. She suddenly opened her eyes and woke up when she heard the noise.

She saw Xie Yan coming out and quickly stood up to greet him.

"Shh!"

Xie Yan whispered, "Keep sleeping and don't make any noise."

The maid lay back down and watched Xie Yan walk away. She began to daydream: When will it be my turn? I don't know if the princess agrees. Oh, I really want to eat the cakes made by my husband. They must be delicious.

Qingluan was crying in the room, sobbing softly on the pillow.

She didn't know why she was crying, but she felt very wronged. Like a beggar waiting for alms, but in the end she was fooled by the rich.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Young mother, I'm coming in."

Qingluan suddenly stopped sobbing, feeling ashamed and happy, and quickly got up and lit the lamp.

Xie Yan pushed the door open and walked in: "Are you still awake?"

"Yeah."

Qingluan responded, turned her back, and quietly wiped away her tears.

She used a kerosene lighter to light the kerosene lamp.

The room was bright in an instant, and Xie Yan saw a person wearing only underwear, with smooth and white shoulders and back exposed.

The excitement of eating secretly became stronger and stronger. He had been greedy for Qingluan's body for a long time.

At this moment, he didn't say anything more. He walked over in three or two steps and hugged Qingluan from behind: "Good sister, you miss me so much."

Qingluan trembled all over, and felt her legs weak and unable to stand. She breathed quickly and said: "Don't call sister, that's the special name of the princess."

"I want to call, Sister Qingluan, Sister Qingluan..." Xie Yan kept saying in her ear.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm listening, you can only call like this tonight." Qingluan was very happy. She knew she shouldn't do this, as if she had stolen the princess's things, but she liked this immoral feeling of stealing.

Just as Xie Yan was about to pick her up by the waist, Qingluan said: "Wait a minute."

Xie Yan didn't understand what she meant.

Qingluan broke free from his embrace and ran to the drawer to get a pair of red candles. Then, he took out a wine pot and a wine glass from somewhere.

Lighted the red candles and filled the wine glass.

Qingluan raised the glass with a serious face and said, "I am of humble origin and unworthy of being married to Liu Lang. I only ask that the red candles be stopped for one night so that I can drink the wedding wine like the princess' wedding. When I am old and ugly, I will be abandoned by Liu Lang like a worn-out shoe. I am willing and will never regret it in my life."

Xie Yan originally came here with the intention of having an affair, but after hearing these words, he suddenly felt a little ashamed.

He felt ashamed of both the princess and Qingluan.

He was really a scumbag. These girls in ancient times were too easy to deceive.

Xie Yan raised three fingers: "I, Xie Yan, swear here that I will never abandon Qingluan in this life. If I break this oath..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Qingluan stretched out her hand to press his mouth. She was already very moved and thought she had met a good man.

Under Qingluan's affectionate eyes, Xie Yan raised his wine glass and drank the wine.

Qingluan turned around and turned off the kerosene lamp, leaving only two red candles burning. She lowered her head shyly and said, "Please have mercy on Liulang."
