Milk fan is a traditional dish loved by the dali people of Yunnan, which is said to have been brought in by the ancient invading Mongols, and people here not only love to eat, but many families also make milk fans.
There are many ways to eat the milk fan, the simplest way is to fry it directly after eating it, dipped in a little sugar or honey, it becomes sour and sweet, fragrant and crispy.
There is a seventy-year-old grandmother in Kelizhuang, Xizhou Town, Dali, and her home-made milk fans are famous far and wide, very delicious, and everyone likes it.
The grandfather of this family is also seventy years old, the old man has loved cattle all his life, and is a master of the cattle here. Walking around the cattle market can find good cows, and the cows he values not only guarantee to make money after breeding, but also the milk cows produce more milk and the milk is of good quality.
The old man is older, and he no longer buys cattle to raise in recent years, but there is a calf in the family that grows up and is reluctant to sell, so it becomes the old man's pet cow. This cow is also competing, producing more than 30 catties of high-quality milk every day.
But if these milks are sold directly to the milk sellers, they can only sell for more than thirty yuan, and the cattle eat more than ten pieces of feed a day, which is not cost-effective. So Grandma made milk fans every day, and then Grandpa carried them to the market to sell, so that they could sell for more than sixty yuan.
In addition to using fresh milk, the milk fan is also made of papaya soaked sour water, and in the boiling pot, the milk and acid meet and quickly solidify, and the milk is converted from liquid to solid.
The coagulated milk should be fished out quickly.
Then knead into clumps with your hands.
The milk balls are then pulled into slices with chopsticks.
Finally, hang on a shelf made of bamboo poles.
Then take it outside to dry, generally dry on a sunny day, and cloudy days may take longer.
There are too many milk fans, the family can't finish eating, so Grandpa went to a market once every two days, and soon sold them, knowing that their cattle are good, milk is good, milk fans are good, or new, that is, the price of selling is higher to buy Grandpa.
Although they can only earn about sixty yuan a day, and raising cattle, milking, making milk fans, constantly moving and drying, and then carrying to the market to be busy for a day, the two old people are happy and feel that life is very meaningful, and this is the day they want.
