I became the Prime Minister's Adored Wife after Transmigrating - Chapter 144

144 Double Skin Milk

Butler Ma’s words stopped there.

“I’m still busy in the front yard. I’ll take my leave first.”

“Thank you, Butler Ma.” Ji Zhao understood what he meant and thanked him gratefully.

The Northwestern dishes she made earlier all had strong flavors. Speaking of which, they were considered greasy dishes.

!!
Ji Zhao thought about it seriously and quickly came up with an idea.

She planned to make a double skin milk. After all, not only could this dessert relieve greasiness, but it also looked nice!

The upper layer of double-skinned milk was sweet and fragrant. The lower layer of milk was smooth and moist. When eaten, the fragrance was rich and would leave a fragrance in one’s mouth. It was just right to relieve the strong flavor of lamb for the guests.

Of course, the most important thing was that the Double Skin Milk’s method was very simple, and there was a lot of room to be creative.

Original Double Skin Milk, Red Bean Double Skin Milk, Fruit Double Skin Milk—

Fortunately, the kitchen in the Ma residence had everything. Ji Zhao quickly found milk and eggs.

She had once asked Shen Yao if the current dynasty could eat beef. At that time, Shen Yao’s answer left a deep impression on her.

Many wealthy families in Dingyuan County raised water buffaloes in farmsteads on the outskirts of the city. Moreover, those wealthy gentry seemed to know how to maintain their health. The rich children had never lacked milk since they were young.

It was said that decades ago, the current Grand Emperor had specially issued a decree to attract a batch of cows from the country. After cultivation, cows were now found in many places!

When Ji Zhao heard about those deeds, she had once wondered if the current Grand Emperor was also a transmigrator.

However, when she read the original novel, she only paid attention to the Shen family. As for the other supporting characters in the book, she did not pay much attention to them.

Now that she thought about it, she regretted it.

Ji Zhao shook her head and threw all the messy thoughts in her mind to the back of her mind.

She made the double skin milk seriously. Although the ingredients for making the double skin milk were very simple and the cooking was not difficult, she still had to focus on making it. After all, this dessert had a high requirement for the heat control.

An hour later, Ji Zhao finally succeeded in making the double skin milk.

When the Double Skin Milk was sent to the front yard, it received unanimous praise again.

Later, when the Shen family’s pastry shop released the double-skinned milk dessert, it instantly became popular in the entire county. The Shen family’s business became more and more popular—

Of course, this was news for later.

At the end of the day, Ji Zhao, who had been busy for several hours, could finally rest.

In addition to the four northwestern dishes at the beginning, she made a total of 21 bowls of double skin milk.

She was really exhausted.

After the banquet in the front yard ended, Butler Ma came to the kitchen again.

This time, the pouch he handed to Ji Zhao was heavy.

“Butler Ma? This is?”

“The Old Madam is very happy today. Moreover, the dishes you made received unanimous praise from the esteemed guests.” Ma Tong explained happily, “This time, you have to keep it.”

“Isn’t this… too much?” Ji Zhao weighed the pouch in her hand and estimated that there was at least ten taels of silver inside. She asked awkwardly, “Why don’t you keep another half?”

“That won’t do!” Butler Ma refused. “Miss Ah Tao, didn’t you already express your intentions earlier? I, Ma Tong, am not a greedy person, so you should take this reward well. In short, your culinary skills have caught the eye of our old madam. There’s still a long way to go!”

“Alright, then I’ll accept it.” Ji Zhao was a straightforward person and did not like to be wishy washy.

The smile on Ma Tong’s face deepened when he saw how straightforward she was.

“I still have to report to the Old Madam. If you’re done packing, you can go back. Do you want me to send someone to lead the way for you?”

“There’s no need to trouble Butler Ma. I know the way.” Ji Zhao smiled faintly. “By the way, I have a presumptuous request. Butler Ma, I saw golden osmanthus planted in the backyard. Can I pick some osmanthus flowers and bring them back?”

“Sure!” Butler Ma agreed happily.
