Chapter 838

"I see." Then Fu Xitang took out the red envelope and handed it to Xu Qing: "then you can help her keep it. Don't refuse."

Without waiting for Xu Qing to say anything, Fu Xitang threw himself into the food and marveled at the dishes in front of him.

After eating a meal for half an hour, Fu Xitang said, "in fact, I have another thing to do."

Xu Qing: "what is it?"

Fu Xitang: "do the two kinds of beans you bought from me have better uses?"

Xu Qing: "how is a better way?"

Fu Xitang: "the local people regard beans as ordinary food for practical use. You know that they don't taste very good. To tell you the truth, I brought these beans all the way back to see if there are other ways to eat them. After all, the nutritional value is there. Generally speaking, there are many flaws."

Xu Qing thought of a piece of news he had seen in his previous life. He said that cocoa beans were abundant in a certain place, but the people there had never eaten chocolate because they were too poor.

In fact, the same is true in many poor places. It is clear that every family grows rice, but most of the people who grow rice can only live on coarse cereals.

Thinking back, Xu Qing didn't hide his privacy. He replied generously, "yes."

Fu Xitang smile, a pair of I know the expression, looks not unexpected.

Xu Qing: "after some processing, these two kinds of beans can be used as drinks and sweets. I have ground coffee powder here. I'll make a cup for you to taste."

Fu Xitang: "good."

Li Changting goes back to the house and takes the coffee powder and cup. Xu Qing tells Fu Xitang how to bake the coffee beans. Then Fu Xitang sees Xu Qing slowly pour boiling water on the coffee powder, and the black juice falls into the porcelain pot along the gauze.

A unique fragrance wafts out, which makes people feel refreshed.

Xu Qing poured a cup and handed it to Fu Xitang. Then he put the sugar and milk in front of him and asked him to add them according to his taste.

In front of me, the dark things like soup and medicine are not very good in terms of appearance, but they can't stand the strong aroma. Fu Xitang took a sip from the teacup. It was really bitter, but it was fragrant. It was really contradictory.

He added two spoonfuls of sugar to it, but the taste changed dramatically when he tasted it again.

Sugar is sweet, milk is milk, against this fragrance, people can't help but want to taste it again.

Xu Qing said: "cocoa beans need to be fermented. I haven't made finished products yet. I'll make them for you later. These two kinds of beans are very good for desserts and pastries. They have a wide range of uses, but not everyone can accept the taste, and the cost is relatively high."

There are some chicken ribs in the early stage. It depends on whether we can open the market in DAHAO.

People who can't get used to it only think it tastes strange, but what Xu Qing sees is their efficacy and nutritional value.

Fu Xitang nodded in agreement: "DAHAO's climate is not suitable for planting these two kinds of beans. We can only rely on imports. It's a long way to go, and the loss of human and material resources is also very high."

Xu Qing: "there should be planting in the hot south, but we haven't found it yet. Maybe it's not in DAHAO."

Fu Xitang: "these two kinds of beans have their nutritional value. If they can be popularized, it will be a good thing." Fu Xitang said with a smile, "it sounds a bit high sounding. In fact, I just want to sell more goods. As a businessman, if I can't sell what I bring from outside, I will lose a lot."

Fu Xitang wants to earn a gap, it is best to get huge profits, but the guests are more valued or valuable collection of things.

There were so many ships going to sea, but only Fu Xitang brought back the two most humble beans in the area.

In order to repay Xu qingjiao for how to make coffee, Fu Xitang took out a small jade card and said, "I have fleets in Qingzhou, kunzhou and Lanzhou. If you want to go to sea, you can exchange this jade card for any vessel or assign a fleet once."

Fu Xitang guessed what, but he didn't ask, for his kindness Xu Qing also impolitely accepted, anyway, after she made chocolate, Fu Xitang asked her for more.

A week later, Xu Qing took out the fermented cocoa beans and spread them in the bamboo mat to dry. The natural light in the space was good for drying.

The beans just taken out have a strong acid gas, but gradually with the sun drying beans more and more dry, began to emit the aroma of chocolate.

At the beginning, everyone didn't want to go there, even the little dragonflies looked disgusted, and people at home couldn't help but want to catch some beans to taste.

But at this time, the cocoa beans can't be eaten yet. Xu Qing and a Ying pick out the bad beans and shriveled beans. They don't want the rest of them to be roasted. They fry them first and then bake them, so that the aroma of chocolate can be completely emitted.

The shell of the roasted cocoa beans is peeled off, and the cocoa grains inside are the main raw materials of chocolate. Then they are crushed, ground and pressed.

This kind of feeling is similar to squeezing oil. Xu Qing can't do it alone, and he has no good tools to use. He can only take out the tools he usually uses to squeeze out the cocoa butter and cocoa powder he needs.

The process of chocolate is complicated. If you make a mistake, you may end up making a Sixiang. Xu Qing tried to make peanut butter before, and the method is somewhat similar.Because it takes about two days to keep stirring and refining. It depends on whether the finished product is well ground or not. Li Changting and Duanmu Xiang can't stand the whole process. It seems that they don't have their own arms.

Xu Qingshui regretted that he had not been able to go abroad. Originally, he was invited by a friend and had the opportunity to visit the old chocolate factories abroad. However, because of his heartache for thousands of yuan of air tickets, he did not go.

Although there is no electricity here, some manual machines can still replace manual work. Unfortunately, she has not studied this aspect.

The final temperature adjustment is also a very important step. At this time, the chocolate is still liquid. It needs to be heated, cooled, reheated and other steps to gradually harden and fix the chocolate.

When Xu Qing made chocolate, it was the end of the new year.

The chocolate in the mold has been cooled and molded. It's easy to demould. It's dark brown.

Xu Qing broke off a small piece and tasted it. It was sweet and still slightly bitter. The taste was not particularly delicate, but it had a strong chocolate aroma and no sour taste.

On the whole, it was successful.

Seeing that Xu Qing had eaten, Li Changting and Duanmu Xiang also stretched out their hands to the dark piece.

It's not that they don't believe that this food can be eaten. It's just something made of beans. It's also that they participate in the whole process. It's certain that they can eat. It's just a matter of whether it tastes good or not.

A Ying and little Dragonfly are looking at each other, but they dare not move without Xu Qing's instructions.
