On the red-tiled roof, two birds stood side by side, looking at the three people and other animals below. A black-and-white cow was standing next to the stone trough, chewing feed slowly, with its tail behind it.
Shake from time to time.
The cow's fur is very clean and smooth, reflecting a little oily light in the setting sun. Its belly is slightly bulging on both sides, and it feels full to the touch.
Moo~
Seeing the three people approaching, it raised its head and barked, and then continued to eat grass. When the distance was closer, you could hear the exhalation from the cow's nose from time to time, and then the sound of chewing grass. There was a cow hiding on the other side behind the cow.
The calf, from time to time, used its eyes to observe these people from the gap under its mother's abdomen, seeming a little scared.
"I want to touch it." Ye Ling walked closer in the grass, but unfortunately the calf was still hiding.
"Why don't you find something it likes to eat so that it won't avoid you." Lorraine Hill pointed his finger on his chin and thought for a moment.
"What kind of things does Niu Niu like?" Ye Ling lifted his bent body, looked around for a while, then took out a bunch of grass from the haystack and dangled it in front of the calf.
The calf opposite looked at the swaying green grass and bleated, but still did not take a step.
"This is too common, it's not interested." Ye Ling was a little discouraged when he saw that the calf couldn't come over.
"How about trying some fruit? In fact, I usually don't feed the calf. It usually drinks milk and occasionally eats a little feed." Bu Mansha also helped Ye Ling with some ideas at this time.
"Fruit, but where can I find fruit?"
While Ye Ling was still distressed, a familiar voice came from behind, "Give."
Lorraine Hill handed over an orange.
Holding this orange, Ye Ling peeled it open as if he had found a fun treasure. The juice in the orange peel splashed, and a fresh fruity fragrance filled the air.
Following the sweet smell, the calf actually looked over.
Just like that, Ye Ling approached the calf again with small steps while holding the peeled orange. The other calf stepped uneasily, wanting to run away, but looked at the orange in Ye Ling's hand eagerly.
Finally, just when the calf made up its mind to leave, Ye Ling had already stepped forward, put his hand on the calf's head and stroked it.
"Hehe~" Touching the whirlpool of hair on the calf's head, Ye Ling let out a proud laugh, and then handed a piece of orange meat to the calf's mouth.
The calf stuck out its tongue and licked the orange flesh. After testing it several times, it chewed it in its mouth and then began to eat silently. In this way, one piece after another of orange meat was fed to the calf, and it gradually
Settle down.
After petting the calf, Ye Ling came to the big cow and watched it eating grass. Then he squatted down and hugged his knees to observe. He looked at the cow's body, a little eager to try.
"Slow down, Eidolon." Bumansha stopped Eidolon temporarily, then took out a tin bucket from the utility room, came to the cow and put it down.
She first touched the cow, comforted it for a while, wiped the milk with a warm cloth, and then placed the tin bucket under the cow and began to squeeze it soothingly.
White juice spurted out from it, hit the inner wall of the tin bucket, and then stayed along the wall.
"When squeezing, don't use too much force, otherwise the cow will be in pain and may even kick you." Bu Mansha told Ye Ling the key.
"In addition, try to soothe the cow as much as possible to prevent the cow from being injured and causing inflammation."
"Hmm." Ye Ling squatted aside and watched curiously and excitedly.
"Try it now, slow down first." Bumansha handed over the hot towel.
"Okay." Ye Ling said as he wiped his hands with a towel, then held the pair and began to squeeze them.
She was very nervous at first, but then she gradually relaxed after seeing that everything was going well.
"It's not difficult~"
After squeezing one, there was another. After squeezing, the bucket was nearly half full.
"Well, it tastes a bit fishy." Looking at the warm milk in the bucket, Ye Ling originally wanted to drink some, but his nose twitched and he hesitated.
"Silly Ye Ling, you can't drink this directly." Lorraine Hill also came over at this time and squatted aside with a smile.
"What Luo Lan said is right, it still needs to be processed again." Then Bu Mansha walked into the house carrying the tin bucket.
After returning to the kitchen, Luo Lan and Ye Ling followed.
"First of all, stir it." Bumansha took down a long pole on the wall with a round plate on the head.
Put this long rod into the milk and stir continuously. Slowly, a layer of semi-solid white substance gradually separates and appears in the milk.
"The top layer is butter." Bumansha pointed to the white oil-like substance on the top of the milk.
"Although it looks white now, when you take it out and heat it in a pot, it will turn a light yellow color."
"Awesome~" Ye Ling cheered.
"The white liquid below is the milk you usually drink, but it needs to be heated and sterilized before you can drink it."
"The butter obtained from the upper layer can be used to make cakes and breads, or stored. The milk below can also be added to the baking ingredients. If you can't finish it, you can also put it in a container to ferment, then filter the water and cook it while
Stir to make cheese."
"These are the most common ingredients in pastries." Bumansha introduced the uses of dairy products.
"So that's it, this is how butter comes. I used to think butter was just yellow oil." Ye Ling took the stick in Bumansha's hand and continued to stir.
"Work hard, little Ye Ling. I'll make cheese and cut it into cubes for you later."
Bumantha encouraged the hard-working Eidolon, so Lorraine Hill couldn't tell for a moment whether she was really encouraging or exploiting child labor. But Eidolon was indeed very happy.
While Eidolon was playing with the milk, Lorraine Hill and Bu Mantha were also chatting about other things.
"Does Bumansha know Lily's current situation?"
"I know, Lily is in the palace now, and she is Her Majesty the Queen." Bumansha nodded, and then continued.
"I met her at a wedding a few years ago. Because I wanted to keep a low-key life, I deliberately didn't show my face in front of her. I also specifically asked the owner of the cake shop not to reveal my name."
"Fortunately, the judges and nobles don't care who the pastry chef is. They just know that this is Count Hongyuan's property."
"Lily was very happy at that time." Bu Mansha recalled that luxurious and grand wedding, with long parade floats and long queues.
"That day happened to be in the middle of August, when the moon rises high in the past. In order to embellish the cold night sky, His Majesty the Emperor set off many colorful fireworks in the capital, and the bursting light rain almost filled the city."
"At that time, I also secretly blessed her, thinking that Lily's previous wish had come true, maybe she herself had not expected it." A nostalgic smile appeared on Bu Mansha's face.
"Unfortunately, too many changes happened later..." Bu Mansha sighed. She had also heard various news about the empire one after another this year.
"But the matter has reached this point, and I can't help much. There is a whirlpool of chaos in the royal capital, and she is at the center of power. If she wants to really get out, she can only rely on herself. Since she has become the queen, she will
It is destined to bear a huge responsibility."
"It's just that this kind of growth may be destined to be accompanied by pain."
The two of them sat on the doorstep of the house, watching the sunset gradually sinking into the ground, and the world slowly entering a dark blue world. Only the warm yellow candlelight behind them stretched their shadows diagonally, reflecting on the house.
On the front steps and on the grass.
"Come on, Dai Ju, if you stir well, I'll make big chicken drumsticks for you tonight."
The conversation between the two gradually stopped, and Ye Ling's happy command came from behind. Lorraine Hill looked back and saw Dai Ju standing by the bucket, holding a wooden stick in his mouth, struggling to stir the fresh milk, while Ye Ling
Sit at the table, prop your head, and cheer him on.
