Volume 10 Chapter 19: Ginger Milk Curd
"You understand you got a thud, right?" Long Qiqiang muttered.
"A thud?"
"That fruit tastes horrible; it's impossible to sell as well." That seller definitely got the better end of the deal right here.
"Hehe! I got something incredible!" I can't believe it was like a fruit! He thought it would be from a bean. But this works as well!
"..."
"Let's go get some more!" Keith waved his hand! There were more things he needed to buy! This was not the end. As the group continued to walk around,
"Also, I need to ask, what's this about Cadmus being an ancestor?" He wanted to ask, but there was no chance to do so.
"That's because we're descendants of Cadmus."
"Say what?!" Keith paused before glancing between Ayaka, "You as well?"
"Yes," Ayaka nodded.
"I get Lihua; how are you guys related to him?" Ayaka and Shinzo were fox people; it was surprising to see them being offsprings of Cadmus.
"We're descendants, but we take on the traits of our other ancestors." It took two to make a baby.
"…I see." Keith nodded.
"Also, why do you call him grandpa?" That was something they wanted to figure out as well. When that was said at the opening ceremony, Long Lihua and Ayaka's faces almost dropped.
"Are you actually related to the headmaster?"
"What? No!" Keith waved his hand, "I only call him that because he liked the name." It was a slip of the tongue. He continued, "And he's a grandpa, you know. But he acts more like a child." Dragon would get angry for a cookie.
"…I don't want to hear that from you." Carolyn retorted. This man was just as bad as that guy!
"Thank goodness, I thought I would have to call you elder or something," Long Lihua sighed in relief.
"I'm not that old," Keith scoffed and added, "So we're going back to the temple?"
"Heck no!" Long Qiqiang retorted.
"Eh?"
"After what you did, we need to take a breather." You want to go back there when you caused all of that trouble?
You are one crazy dude!
Keith shrugged, "Well, if they can't decide, then I'm just going to keep running around and buying things!" This really didn't matter so much for him.
…
"Did you all go to the markets?" Long Aotian watched the group return home. Keith nodded, "Mmhmm! It was so wonderful!"
"…If you don't account for how you tried to buy everything that was around by throwing coins," Long Lihua mumbled. Unlike the happy expression he had, the rest were tired.
"That's great." Long Aotian pretended he didn't hear at the end.
"Can I borrow your kitchen?"
"Sure, you can do so," Keith nodded as he followed one of the maids. "You guys can wait; I'll prepare something really delicious."
"Okay!" "Don't mind us!" They quickly headed to the living room to rest up. As they did so, Keith grinned. I should make ginger milk curd. It was a great treat to make.
First up was the ginger. He just needed to grate the ginger first. As he did so, the ginger was slowly shredded. That was when he used a cloth and started to squeeze. That was when the ginger juice came out. The next thing was to boil the milk.
It was simple enough as he just needed to figure out the temperature.
The enzymes were the things that would make it so. Using a spoon, Keith figured out the heat. Slowly, he poured it into the bowls. The curds slowly formed.
"Good," It's solid. Turning, he saw that Zhu Liqin was staring at the boy.
"Hello, Ms.Long."
"…"
"Do you want to try it?" The woman was eyeing the thing quite hard.
"…Yes," Zhu Liqin nodded.
"Then please come to the living room. I'll bring it over there," Keith smiled as he carried it over.
"Mother?" "Aunty?" Long Lihua and Long Qiqiang were surprised that Zhu Liqin was beside the boy.
"Keith, what did you make for us today?" Carolyn's eyes brightened as she stared at the bowl.
"I made ginger milk curds. It's similar to pudding. Try it out." Keith placed it down for each one. That was when everyone took a bite.
"It has a kick!"
"What do you think about it, Long Hao?" Keith turned to the child. He was sipping on the custard like a drink, "Delish!" The child was content as he continued to drink it.
"More?" Zhu Liqin looked up at him.
"Oh, I don't have any more." Keith made one for everyone. But that was about it.
"…"
"Keith, you're going to make more, right?" Everyone eyed him. It was saying a lot of things to him.
"Understood; I will make more; give me a second." Keith sighed as he got back up: it was time for him to make more again. That was only a few seconds, but he understood the hierarchy here.
Zhu Liqin was at the top, while the rest were at the bottom.
Zhu Liqin drank five of them before stopping. She got up and headed out.
"How did you get my mother to get here?!" Long Lihua blinked. This was something she couldn't fathom.
"Uh…I don't know." That was something he didn't know either.
"Lady Zhu is quite the spacy one," Ayaka muttered.
"Oh, I'm going to be cooking for dinner as well, if you don't mind."
"But you're a guest?" Did he forget about that?
"I'm quite happy about doing things like this." Keith grinned.
"Then good luck!"
