Chapter 89 Interesting Facts about Peanut Cheese
A gentle breeze stirred the water, creating ripples. A stillness descended upon the shores of Emerald Lake, where "Flawless Light" resided; the chirping of insects and calls of birds mingled, but no human voices could be heard.
If you can't wait for the one you love, then wait for someone who loves you. This wasn't an unfamiliar saying in Long You's previous life, but in this life, it's still a rather fresh piece of inspirational wisdom.
Instead of staying by the lakeside to admire the view, Long You gave his advice and then turned back to the banyan treehouse.
Just as Bei Bei had thought, although his soul-detecting device could no longer detect Long You and Zhang Lexuan, Long You could still see him. Intrigued, Long You climbed to the third-floor observation deck and immediately spotted Bei Bei grinding peanuts with a stone mill.
Recalling the peanut pudding recipe he had previously explained to Beibei, Longyou immediately understood Beibei's plan. While admiring Beibei's decisiveness, he couldn't help but think about making something delicious for himself.
The Star Dou Great Forest is located on the equator of the Douluo Continent world, so the temperature is naturally not considered cold. However, in a tropical jungle, with its shady trees and piles of fallen leaves, a sense of dampness and chill is unavoidable.
While hot drinks like peanut yogurt or milk tea may not provide the same refreshing feeling as a first hot drink on a cool autumn day, they can still warm the heart and body and effectively dispel dampness.
Without hesitation, Long You went to the kitchen on the first floor and began preparing various raw materials, seeing that the surrounding environment was quiet.
Long You had picked quite a few wild peanuts before. Bei Bei in the Emerald Lake was slowly grinding them with a hand-operated stone mill to pass the time, but Long You didn't have that kind of mindset. He directly pulled out a soul tool version of a blender from his storage soul tool.
Remove the shells from the peanuts and soak them in hot water for about ten seconds. When the red skin on the peanuts has already split open, but the peanut kernels haven't fully expanded, take them out immediately. Peanuts in this state are best for peeling.
Roast the tender white peanuts in the oven to remove moisture and bring out their aroma. Then, you can use a high-speed blender to grind them into a paste.
Heat peanut milk in a pot, add starch and rock sugar, and stir slowly. Don't rush to throw away the peanut residue after filtering; add it to cookies for a wonderfully sweet flavor.
Just as the peanut pudding was ready, Zhang Lexuan, who had been lost in thought by the lake for a long time, returned. Although the atmosphere seemed a little strange to Long You, after glancing at the bowl of peanut pudding in his hand, Long You pursed his lips slightly and handed a bowl to Zhang Lexuan.
Looking at the white porcelain bowl and peanut butter in front of her, Zhang Lexuan admitted she was a little stunned; this wasn't the atmosphere she had envisioned. However, considering that not accepting it at this moment might make the atmosphere even more awkward, Zhang Lexuan, after a slight pause, smoothly accepted the white porcelain bowl handed to her by Long You.
The slightly awkward atmosphere in the banyan tree house vanished completely after a bite of sweet, warm peanut yogurt. However, in the Green Lake Pavilion (a water-based inflatable tent that Beibei had built herself), Beibei's situation became somewhat awkward after the peanut yogurt was ready.
The aroma of fried peanuts is something everyone who's tried them knows. The process of making this peanut milk involves frying, stone grinding, and finally simmering. Throughout each step, the aroma of peanuts permeates the air.
So, after Beibei finished cooking her peanut pudding, she started posing with the white porcelain bowl at the entrance of "Emerald Lake Pavilion." Over there, several large white swans that had been hiding in the distance, peeking out, sniffing, and looking around, suddenly used their special skill, "Red Feet Stirring Clear Waves," and quickly swam to Beibei's side, quacking and poking their heads at the white porcelain bowl.
Beibei felt his brain was a bit overwhelmed; he had never been so close to a thousand-year-old soul beast in his entire life!
Yes, it's about being close.
When the white goose spirit beasts approached, Bei Bei was indeed very nervous. However, seeing that the geese did not use any spirit skills or spirit power and showed no signs of attacking her, and given the special nature of the place, Bei Bei suppressed her nervousness and did not launch an attack or turn to run away.
At the time, Beibei thought that since the area of Cuihu Lake was so small and the density of soul beasts was not small, it was normal for soul beasts to come and roam around her.
Although these white geese had green edges on their feathers and didn't seem to be the "flawless light" described by Long You, Bei Bei didn't want to offend these unknown breeds of white geese at this time, since they were recognized by the "flawless light" to live in Cuihu Lake.
To put it simply, Beibei's mindset at the time was one of "I won't bother you, we'll leave each other alone." However, things are always strange. The appearance of these large white geese was abrupt, and their subsequent actions were even more abrupt. Despite showing no signs of aggression, these large white geese still unexpectedly headed straight for Beibei after they appeared.
Beibei admitted that the situation was a bit confusing, but since the big white goose hadn't made a move, Beibei didn't want to take the initiative at this time and place.
So Beibei stared warily as the big white geese drew closer and closer to her. She watched them rush towards her, peering into the white porcelain bowl she held in her hand.
Although the geese were quite aggressive in their scramble for the peanut pudding in the white porcelain bowl, and many of them even slapped their dangling legs with their feet hidden beneath the water, Beibei had to admit that the geese meant her no harm; they just wanted a sip of the sweet peanut pudding.
Since she simply couldn't bring herself to put the white porcelain bowl in her mouth, Beibei decided to offer it up. She extricated herself from the flock of six large white geese and turned back to grope them.
Putting everything else aside, in that brief moment of being crowded, Beibei noticed how incredibly soft the feathers of these white geese were. If she could pluck a few more, she could probably make a goose down comforter for Xiaoya.
I can't drink my peanut milk for free. Even though this pot is a bit burnt, I still have to leave money for the peanut milk.
All of these thoughts were what Beibei was thinking as she was constantly gathering white, fragrant feathers from the crowded flock of white geese in a way that could hardly be called proper.
All of the above scenes were the source of joy for Long You and Zhang Lexuan as they watched the Soul Guidance Display screen, drank peanut milk, and ate ginger milk curd in the banyan tree cabin by the Green Lake.
Alright, everything is normal in the Star Dou Great Forest, so let's zoom out a bit. After traversing thousands of kilometers of official roads, let's take a look at what's happening outside Star Luo City, in the White Tiger Duke's mansion.
