Yan Kexing had already gotten up and was making breakfast outside; the aroma of breakfast filled the entire house.

Shi Wen hurriedly got up, washed up, put on a coat, and went out. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"The weather's perfect for sleeping, what's wrong with sleeping in a bit?" Yan Kexing looked up at him. "We're having pancakes for breakfast today."

Shi Wen, "Okay, no problem, you're in charge."

Yan Kexing: "Where are you going? I've already fed the dog."

Shi Wen, "I'm going to check on the livestock and milk some milk while I'm at it."

He had just fed the livestock corn leaves yesterday and wanted to know if they were adapting well and if there were any potential problems.

He walked into the barn and noticed that the cows were slightly more active than usual, and when they saw him, they mooed and interacted with him.

Judging from her condition, there shouldn't be any problems.

Shi Wen went into the cowshed to check the cows' udders. The cows were with their calves, and while they were nursing their calves, they had a lot of surplus milk, which needed to be manually milked out.

Today, the cows' udders are swollen and full, clearly containing plenty of fresh milk.

Shi Wen went to wash a clean cloth and wiped the cow's udder clean, then started milking with an electric milking machine.

Their cattle are Brown cattle, and their milk production is relatively average.

However, the brown cow has only recently given birth to her calf, so she still has plenty of milk.

Shi Wen the cows are milked twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, and each cow can produce about seven or eight kilograms of milk each time.

Of course, cows can only produce that much milk when they are in normal condition. If, like before, the cows are not in good condition, they can only produce four or five kilograms of milk each time they are milked.

The milk I squeezed out today was a bit greenish-blue.

This is quite normal. The food a cow eats usually affects the taste and color of its milk. It's perfectly reasonable that it ate corn leaves yesterday, so it turned a bit green.

Shi Wen carried milk into the kitchen and asked Yan Kexing, "What are you going to do with this milk? Make cheese? Or separate the cream or ferment yogurt?"

Yan Kexing: "Make cheese. I didn't make soy milk today, so scoop out some milk, heat it up, and serve it with pancakes."

They've run out of honey at home, so they make soy milk less often; now they usually have it with milk for breakfast.

Shi Wen agreed and skillfully scooped out a pot of milk, placing it on the stove to heat it slowly.

They have a special milk pot for heating milk, and it works quite well.

After the milk boils, a thick layer of milk skin quickly forms on top.

Shi Wen moved the milk downstairs and poured it into his and Yan Kexing's cups, then carried the milk outside.

The two sat down at the table and began to eat breakfast.

Shi Wen blew on the milk and took a sip.

Instantly, a sweet taste filled his mouth, a sweetness with the unique rich aroma of milk, and a hint of grassy fragrance.

Shi Wen exclaimed in surprise, "Yesterday's corn leaves really affected the flavor of the milk; it tastes like green juice milk now."

Yan Kexing tasted it and said, "It really is."

Shi Wen, "This tastes a bit better than usual milk. I like the flavor."

Yan Kexing: "If you like, you can properly add some green juice."

Green juice refers to the pulp made from the tender leaves of grasses, and corn leaves can definitely be used to make green juice.

Upon Shi Wen Yan Kexing's words, Shi immediately replied, "Then I'll try it later."

Yan Kexing: "I'll go pick corn leaves with you later."

The corn leaves picked yesterday were meant for the livestock, so they didn't really pick through them.

If we're going to feed people today, we need to pick the tenderest corn.

They specifically pick the core of the corn leaves, as this part of the corn leaves is more tender and has a sweeter taste.

Shi Wen tore off a small piece and put it in her mouth, feeling that it was acceptable to eat it as a dish.

They picked a large bundle of corn leaves and took them home.

The two of them washed the corn leaves together, dried them with kitchen paper towels, and then put them into a blender to make a paste.

The liquid that's poured out is the green juice.

The juice made from corn husks has a very distinct sweet aroma and almost no astringent taste.

Shi Wen took a sip and felt that even without mixing it with milk, it tasted pretty good on its own.

If you were to mix some honey with water to make honey water, it would probably be a uniquely flavored beverage.

After Shi Wen the corn juice, Yan Kexing two cups with milk, one for himself and one for others.

The taste of green juice mixed with milk is quite different.

Shi Wen close my eyes, I feel like I'm on a vast grassland.

Shi Wen, holding the green juice milk, said thoughtfully to Yan Kexing, "I think if we could turn this green juice milk into a product and promote it, it would be very popular."

Since interacting with Ji Hongjun, Shi Wen has discovered that some people value health more than taste.

Yan Kexing: "That's for sure. Low sugar, low fat, high protein, high fiber—if we find the right target customers, it will become a very popular product."

Shi Wen's eyes sparkled. "Then what do you think about us trying to produce green juice milk? And later, when the goat milk comes in, we can try producing green juice goat milk."

Yan Kexing: "We can try putting it in the member gift pack first."

"That makes perfect sense." Shi Wen finished his green juice milk in one gulp and slammed it on the table. "Why don't we let Gong Jiang and the others try it first and see what they think?"

Yan Kexing: "That works too; they should be relatively free today."

Shi Wen, "Then I'll call them over now. It's raining and we don't have much to do, so let's have a big lunch together."

Shi Wen called for help, all three of Gong Jiang said they were bored and would be happy to stretch their muscles.

They drove here and arrived in just over half an hour.

They Shi Wen invited inside for green juice and milk.

Young people like them are more accepting of these foods.
