Chapter 24 Yeast
After lunch, Yao Lao asked the bar manager to explain his purpose and bought the yeast ingredients Jiayi wanted - "rice residue", which was actually the lees, which were not steamed and cooked fresh brewed wine.
Rosbies are not rare. Every time the boss brews the rosbies, they have to be sold to people who raise livestock as feed.
But you can’t feed too much rosé, as there are too many animals and the losses will be huge. Fortunately, the boss doesn’t brew much wine. After all, in such a big town, it’s impossible to sell it if you brew too much wine.
After dinner, I left the restaurant and suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, "Delta delta..."
Look at the front, the black hole must be a thief's cave. I'll kill him without leaving any armor!
I saw a team of cavalry coming from afar. Why are they said to be cavalry? Because they are all wearing armor.
The leader was wearing a full-body armor with silver-gray armor on his chest, and there was a golden pattern on the shoulders where the arm armor was linked to, and there was a skirt armor on his lower body to protect the legs.
Jiayi couldn't tell what the style of this armor was, so he simply called it the full-body armor. After all, he had never been in contact with armor in his two lives and didn't know about it. But it was certainly not a chain mail, because there was no lock ring connected.
The whole pair of armor is a bit low-key but exquisite, and looks practical.
The person wearing this armor is not old and looks in his 20s. Of course, people from other worlds are generally precocious, and he may be younger. Excluding the fact that he looks old or looks poor.
The horse under his crotch is also very distinctive. Let's call it "horse" for now, because it looks very much like a horse from his previous life, but it is taller and stronger, and the horse's legs are obviously thicker.
In particular, it has a pair of horns, to be precise, a pair of horns. After all, it is called horns on a cow, and it is called sheep horns on a sheep. When it grows on a horse, it should be called horse horns. If it is a horse.
By the way, if it grows on the mouth...
Cough, the horns of this horse are different from those of the bison in the African savanna in the animal world. The horns are curved out on both sides and are in a c-shaped shape, while the horns are bent from above and turn a corner, slightly upward, forming a small S-shaped shape.
It's like a steel fork that stretches forward.
If the number and shape of the horns were not correct, he would almost think it was the legendary unicorn.
Compared to him, the mounts of the six people behind him are much more normal. They look like ordinary horses, and that is a horse!
I only wore breastplate, no shoulder armor or armor. I looked like a minion.
The group of seven people hung a spear on the right and a big sword on the left. It was a bit like the two-handed big sword on the earth. It was slightly smaller, but larger than all one-handed big swords.
"This is the eldest son of the lord, who is learning the knight's way in Wickham, the provincial capital. It is said that he is about to become a formal knight. After becoming a knight, he will join the Knights in the provincial capital." Seeing that Jia saw that he was ecstatic, he said with a voice.
"Knight, that's already a real nobleman." He then sighed in a low voice.
"Dad Maca, how powerful is the Knight?"
"Did you see the full body armor worn by the eldest son of the lord in front? It is said that there are nearly a hundred pounds, and some knights have 200 pounds of armor. Such thick armor, if you stand there for you to cut, you can't even cut it."
"And, after the knight wears armor, ordinary horses cannot carry it, and they must ride special beasts. The most commonly used type of wildebeest is the heavy load, runs fast, and when you go crazy, you can use the sharp corners on your head to pierce the lion."
"It is said that in the east there is a country using a riding beast called the armored rhino as the mount of the knight. It has thick skin and flesh and cannot even pierce the sword."
Dad Maca seems to have had the dream of a knight, but unfortunately, he ended up being the owner of a medicinal material shop.
"Then, does the knight have any fighting spirit?"
"Bean Qi? What beans? Horses eat beans."
"No, I mean, can the knights cut dozens of feet away with one sword? Can they split a big stone with one sword?"
"That's a knight, not a wizard, how could it take dozens of feet away? However, it is said that the emperor of the empire could kill the brown bear with his bare hands and should be able to split the stones. But who knows these legendary things!"
"Witcher, Dad Maka, are there really wizards in this world?" Jiayi asked curiously, but he did not notice the complicated expression on Lao Yao's face when he heard the word wizard.
"How do I know this? I haven't seen it before, but I think there are any. The world is so big, and there are nothing strange about some strange things."
As soon as Jia saw the pair of cavalry walking away, he suddenly saw the leader turn his head and see Jiayi from the gap between the crowd. The two of them looked at each other, and pink bubbles seemed to spill out of the air.
Okay, you can go and make a basics. The whole book is over!
Well, the previous paragraph is nonsense. Jiayi is still a little carrot, and no one will have any ideas about him. And the leader is not the lunatic who kills his whole family just by looking at me.
....................................................................
The cavalry team who had been waiting for it walked away, and Jiayi asked the medicine to buy a pound of flour.
The so-called flour is actually ground wheat, and bran is all inside. The black-hearted merchants will even mix sand into the flour. It tastes coarse and slurry.
Jiayi bought these not for food, or rather, it was not for food now.
He wants to use these to make some old noodles.
Old noodle is the noodle seeds for noodles, with a lot of yeast in it, which is used as bacterial seeds when noodles are sent. Generally speaking, old noodle is taken to keep a small ball when noodles were sent last time, and it will be left for next time.
When I was very young in my previous life, Jia's family used old noodles to steam buns. Although it is located in the south, they also grow wheat at home. They can also steam some steamed buns and buns to enrich recipes.
Speaking of which, from the perspective of agriculture alone, the land in his hometown is quite good, and he can grow rice, rapeseed, wheat, cotton, soybeans and many other grain and cash crops.
Because I don’t eat noodles often, my mother usually buys yeast powder to make noodles when she first serves noodles. She will leave a small ball of noodles and put it in a bag of noodles.
After this generation of noodles is finished, we will no longer keep the old noodles. Next time we continue to buy yeast powder to make noodles.
Because the flour will absorb water, when the leftover old noodles are placed in the noodle bag, a layer of flour will be glued on the surface to keep the old noodles dry, reduce the outside mixed bacteria and maintain the quality of the old noodles.
The yeast inside will remain active and ensure the continuous use of the old noodles. It can be passed down one by one for a long time, long...
However, lactic acid bacteria often exist during the storage of old noodles at the same time, and a unique sour taste will appear after a little longer. Therefore, when using old noodles, you need to add edible alkali to neutralize its sour taste.
The longer the old noodles are left, the more lactic acid bacteria there will be, the more sour the taste will be, and the more skill you need to use it.
Moreover, the old noodles ferment very slowly. In the past, my mother would knead the noodles, cover them with a damp cloth, put them in a hot pot with residual heat, then cut them into pieces and steam them in a pot.
Later, it was inconvenient for old noodles after all, and my children were away from home, so my mother gave up using old noodles. Occasionally, steamed buns with baking soda.
After all, baking soda produces carbon dioxide when heated, and does not require waking noodles, but more in particular. However, it is not as delicious as fermented by old noodles and yeast.
Jiayi prepared these things just to make a piece of old noodles and cultivate yeast. The current fermentation of these wines is not very sufficient, and the rosé is mostly wheat grains and other things, which need to be cultivated before it can be used better.
Jiayi is still very strict about eating.
In my previous life, I never saw Jiayi spend so much energy. It was too easy to get it at that time.
When we arrived at the pharmacy, Yao Lao and Maca settled the bill, cleaned up and prepared to go back. Maca's father also gave Jia Yi a small bag of maltose.
On the way back, several more hours passed, and finally rushed back home in the evening.
