Chapter 34 Business Opportunities
Jiayi tore a piece of bread in his hand and put it in his mouth. He felt it was soft and a little tough. The torn bread was a little bit shredded. After careful taste, it was still different from the bread in his previous life. It was not that soft, and it was harder inside, the shell was a little dry, and it was a little burnt.
Moreover, without adding eggs or milk, the taste is a bit worse, and the milky aroma is lacking. Without adding sugar and salt, it tastes salty and not as sweet as it is. Especially since there are no snacks here, I am increasingly yearning for sweets. I don’t know if it is the yeast used as rosé, so the aroma of the wine is relatively strong, but the aroma of the wine is not offensive, but it tastes unique.
Although there are some disadvantages, it is not very good compared to the original black bread, and it feels like it has been thrown out more than a dozen streets. Jiayi also ate beans, which are cooked glutinously and tasted just right in her mouth, which just embellished the slightly monotonous texture of the bread. Of course, this is just Jiayi's own opinion that Erica and Donna are no longer satisfied with this white bread.
"What does it smell so good?" At this time, Gary pushed open the door and walked in. He smelled the fragrance in the yard and couldn't help but come in and see.
Erica tore the bread in her hand and gave it to Gary half. Gary got the bread, pinched it gently with her hand, and it became sunken. His eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but take it in front of him and looked carefully. After smelling it, he felt the fragrance was scent. After putting it in his mouth and tasted it, he couldn't help asking: "Jiayi, did you make it? How could this be possible!"
"Yes, it's what I made. I heard from the teacher that people in the imperial capital use ale to make bread, which is very delicious. I tried it and it succeeded." Jiayi explained that Yao Lao is already a omnipotent and a omnipotent robber. If Yao Lao is really so omnipotent, at least he will be the hidden world-class boss level.
He deliberately made it clear and downplayed, as if this was not a complicated matter.
After tasting the bread he made, Jiayi continued to bake the remaining bread. He felt that he had put a little less oil, the surface of the bread was a little dry, and it was a little baked, and some parts were burnt. When he baked the second time, he brushed a paste with oil, water and flour on the outside of the bread, and reduced the heat.
This time, the baked black bread. After baking, the surface was caramel-colored, and the heat felt better than the first time. But this time it was black bread, with darker colors, and I almost didn't see that it was overbaked. Fortunately, I realized it at the last moment.
Regarding black bread, people generally say that it is not as delicious as white bread, but Jiayi actually thinks the taste is similar, but the black bread is rougher, but the flavor is richer. Maybe everyone's aesthetic views are different, after all, a person who has survived for more than 20 years in an era with extremely rich means of production.
After making the bread, it was almost time for supper.
Jiayi filled a few pieces of bread and served some cooked beans. These beans were left over when making bread. They walked to their hometown like medicine.
When I came to Yao’s hometown, Yao Lao was taking back the medicinal materials that were dried outside. These medicinal materials were collected in the mountains some time ago, and there was also Jiayi’s contribution, but the proportion was a little less.
The medicinal materials are not all dried in the sun, and drying is just the most basic thing. There are also things that can be dried in the shade, frying, dry in the shade, calcining, fermenting, and processing to make the surface of it condense into a layer of cream, etc. The treatment methods are different depending on the medicinal materials, and even the treatment methods are different according to the required medicinal properties.
When he saw Yao Lao, Jiayi said to him: "Teacher, the newly harvested wheat is ready to eat. I made some bread and you can try it."
"Oh!" Lao Yao was very surprised. In the past, he would just shout, "Teacher, the meal is ready, come here to have a meal, but today it is different. He asked to make bread himself. Is there any explanation for this bread?"
Yao Lao took the bread and saw that it turned out to be white bread and it was quite big, but it was not easy to bake thoroughly. I don’t know how it tasted. Last time I went to the town, this guy bought flour. Maybe he thought about making bread at that time.
He smelled the scent of bread, put the bread in front of his nose and smelled it, smelling it, and smelled a rich aroma of bread and wine, feeling that it smelled better than what he had eaten when he was traveling. He asked Jiayi curiously: "Is this what you made? Is it wine added to it? It smells so fragrant."
When Jia saw Lao Yao, he was also surprised by the bread and said proudly: "You try it first, teacher, and see how it tastes." Although he was asking Lao Yao to taste it, he was actually waiting for Lao Yao to be amazed.
Seeing Jiayi talking, Yao Lao became even more curious. When he came to the living room to sit down, he took a piece of bread. When he started to find out that although the bread was big, it was quite light, and it was very soft when he squeezed it. He tore a piece open and saw the dense holes inside the bread. No wonder the bread was so light.
When you eat it, the dense taste makes you feel that it is not like a thing compared to the bread on the market, especially for an elderly person, the friendship to teeth is simply amazing. Although the teeth in the old man's mouth are still there, it is indeed not as strong as when he was young.
He tasted the bread carefully, and couldn't help but nod while eating, making a "well, um" sound. After eating half a loaf of bread, he raised his head and asked Jia: "Did you make this with wine? Well, no, lees! Did you ask for lees last time in the town just to make bread?"
While gnawing on the black and white bread he made, Jiayi was observing Yao Lao's expression. Yao Lao's surprised expression gave Jiayi a big kuài gǎn. At this time, after hearing Yao Lao's words, he was so surprised that he even forgot to close his mouth.
"Old, teacher, how do you know?" It was his turn to eat a pound himself.
"Last time you bought flour and rosé at the same time, and the bread has such a strong smell of wine, it's easy to guess. How did you think of making bread with wine?"
"Teacher, you are so awesome. You can guess it so easily. When I saw that it would bubble inside, I thought about adding it to the flour to make it bubble inside the flour, and the bread became soft. After trying it, the bread made was indeed softer and more delicious."
Holding the grass, Jiayi is talking nonsense again. If you weren’t reborn, you would know how to make bread and make a ball!
"I'm not as much as you!" Yao Lao couldn't help but sigh. Although making soft bread is not a great achievement, it also made achievements that predecessors did not have, especially since flour can ferment this way, what about other things! Although the attachment of Duomu Village is only wheat, there are other grain crops in other places on the mainland, such as rice, ground potatoes, etc.
"Jiayi, don't make your salt anymore. Teach your mother to make bread and sell bread." Yao Lao suddenly said to Jiayi.
"Ah? Sell bread?"
"Don't you want to sell it out recently? Don't you take it out for sale? If someone knows, something will happen. Salt is the financial pillar of the territory. The lord will not let anyone who can threaten his monopoly on salt."
"Then, is it okay to sell bread?"
"Of course, is your bread easy to imitate? I can guess wine, but it is not difficult for others to guess based on your wine flavor, so the lord is not interested in it. Just like selling wine, although the wine in the territory is not allowed to be brewed privately, most of the wine people buy now is brewed privately. The lord cannot forbid people to cook and eat it themselves, nor can they take away all the food." Yao Lao explained to Jiayi that it seems that bread is indeed much more reliable than salt making.
"I know, teacher, thank you teacher!" Jiayi thanked the teacher for his concern for him. Although he didn't say anything, he always paid attention to his every move.
"If you want to sell bread, be careful of the merchants in the town. They may ask for your recipe, but it won't be a big merchant. If you try more methods for this bread, you can always try a suitable recipe. They can also add nuts and raisins to enhance the taste and taste."
