My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 518 - 175 Ginger Milk_2

"Chen Yin, as an elder, I know I shouldn’t dampen your spirits right now, so..." The older Ke Xing got, the more interested he became in gossiping, brimming with an indescribable excitement, "Do you want to hear how I wooed Ah Lan’s mom back then?"

Chen Yin was desperate for anything that could help, grabbing Er Er and moving closer with wide eyes, "Of course I do!"

"Back then, I got together with Ah Lan’s mom in just half a month. I remember our first meeting was at the National Day ceremony, and she was wearing a..."

Ke Xing started recounting his "wife-chasing history," while Chen Yin listened earnestly. Du Xixi, however, shook her head, not interested in hearing the older generation’s gossip. She handed Yiyi to Ke Xing and headed to the kitchen with 2569.

Once the kitchen door closed, blocking out Ke Xing’s increasingly animated recounting, 2569 handed over an apron and asked, "Madam, what delicious dish are you planning to make?"

It was neither too early nor too late, just after breakfast, but not yet lunchtime. Du Xixi wasn’t about to cook lunch, so 2569 guessed she was going to make a simple treat.

Like the shrimp dumplings from before.

"Hmm..." Du Xixi scanned the kitchen, walked over to the fridge, and saw the same type of milk that the Food Department used, albeit in smaller volumes, and smiled, "Let’s make ginger撞奶; it’s simple and easy to make. Big Brother used to love it."

"Oh, Your Majesty used to love everything." 2569 scratched its head in an anthropomorphic manner, sighing heavily with concern for Chen Yin, "Your Majesty must take care of his health, or eating too much will mess with his shape."

Du Xixi paused with the milk in her hand, almost wanting to sigh for the lovesick and increasingly out-of-shape Chen Yin, but she took a deep breath and reminded herself that as a sister, she should be good to her brother.

"Let’s start by making ginger撞奶, and as for the shape..."

"Rob will consider it!"

As Chen Yin’s primary assistant, Rob was not only efficient in handling official duties but also organized Chen Yin’s daily life.

From arranging three meals a day plus various snacks, to managing the hygiene of Chen Yin’s chamber, and even coordinating safety during his daily outings...

Things like keeping in shape are part of Rob’s job too, right?

"Ginger撞奶 is a very simple snack; it tastes rich and smooth, sweet with a hint of spice, and it warms the stomach while dispelling cold." Du Xixi placed the milk on the counter and instructed 2569 to bring out some old ginger. One human and one robot worked together, peeling the old ginger and grating it into ginger paste.

stood by, watching Du Xixi pull out a sieve, and curiously asked, "For ginger撞奶, do you use this ginger paste to hit the milk? But what’s the sieve for?"

"Ginger撞奶, I think you could explain it as milk hitting ginger." Du Xixi patiently explained while placing the ginger paste on the sieve, pressing gently with a spoon to collect the ginger juice in a bowl, "In a moment, we’ll heat the milk and pour it over the ginger juice while it’s hot, and it will naturally coagulate."

"Oh, pouring the milk in is like the milk hitting the ginger juice, right?" 2569, understanding, went and set a pot on the electronic stove, then turned to Du Xixi, "Is there anything special to be aware of when heating the milk?"

Du Xixi pressed the ginger paste seriously and, seeing 2569 about to take on the task of heating the milk, gently instructed, "Use four bowls of milk, add a bit of white sugar, bring it to a boil, and then let it cool to about 80 degrees."

The "撞" in ginger撞奶 is crucial. It depends on the milk’s temperature; too low won’t work, too high neither. Generally, it should be maintained between 40 and 100 degrees. Du Xixi was accustomed to a higher temperature, so she chose 80 degrees.

followed the instructions, and soon Du Xixi had pressed out the ginger juice, dividing it into four bowls, with just enough ginger juice to cover the bottom of each bowl.

Once the milk was boiled and cooled, she personally took the somewhat heavy pot, steadily pouring the milk into four bowls. The white milk collided with the yellow ginger juice, instantly turning a pale yellow color.

Du Xixi used plates to cover the four bowls, needing only to wait quietly for a moment. After lifting the plates, she would find the milk and ginger juice inside had coalesced, with the ginger撞奶 barely moving as it was served.
