Chapter 182 - 181 Who is She?
Qi Younian also picked up a small pastry, bit off half, and savored it carefully. It wasn’t until he had swallowed the pastry that he laughed and said, "The little bit of ingredient obtained from the watery cow’s milk is indeed rare and precious. How can such a thing not taste good when added to a snack? Only Ye Zi could come up with so many fresh ideas."
He then laughed to himself, "This child, struggling for so long over those hard and dry cheese curds, didn’t know how to make use of them. And now, in just a few days, he brought back a stone mill and created such delicious pastries. This cheese powder, mixed in with cake, also adds flavor and fragrance. It’s unexpectedly a good thing."
This pastry was a new snack that Ye Xinyan had tried making with cheese powder. Because it contained cheese powder, it had the distinct flavor and full-bodied aroma of cheese.
Ye Xinyan used the stone mill to grind the dry cheese curds and cheese sticks into cheese powder, then mixed the powder into ordinary small pastries. The resulting snacks tasted unexpectedly good.
When cheese powder is added to water and melted at the proper temperature, it can essentially turn back into cheese. If some butter is added, it becomes cream cheese flavored, which, when sandwiched between biscuits, small pastries, or cakes, is another expensive and sweet delicacy.
After being tasted by the most prestigious among them, Nanny Jin, Nanny Liu, the food-loving Qi Jia, and the rough-around-the-edges Cheung Wusi, the snack received everyone’s approval.
