Chapter 170 Looking back, we are still...
Whether it is wheat, glutinous rice, or flour or rice flour, they are all grains.
So, the four went to the rice shop on the next street.
The people here don’t know what the principle of maltose production is, they only know how to do it, but Jiang Yue knows that after the wheat germinates, a maltase will be produced, which can hydrolyze the starch in the glutinous rice into maltose.
Therefore, you need to buy wheat to germinate.
Sticky rice is also to be bought.
However, because this is the south, basically rice is grown. If wheat is not grown, the wheat has to be shipped from the north, so wheat and flour are quite expensive.
One pound of wheat can be bought for ten cents in the north, and fifteen cents in the south.
The flour is milled from wheat, so it is more expensive, anyway, it is more expensive than rice flour.
Jiang Yue did not plan to buy flour to prevent the sugar cubes from sticking, but decided to buy rice flour to prevent the sugar cubes from sticking.
But rice flour also costs 20 cents a pound, because it is ground manually or by animal power. It has to be threshed into polished rice first, and then ground into powder. It takes a lot of work, and there are no machines in this world.
Because the yield of glutinous rice is low, there are few people who plant it, and the price is also high. It costs 30 cents per pound.
In any case, in this town, the minimum selling amount is one pound.
If you buy half a catty, no one will sell it to you at all.
Originally, Jiang Yue planned to buy two catties of glutinous rice, a little wheat, and a few large rice flours. Because of the authentic maltose method, the ratio of glutinous rice to malt is 40:1.
This cost is also lower.
But because this is not the fully automated sugar production in her original world, the fermentation temperature and ratio can be controlled within the most suitable range, but all controlled manually. In order to ensure full fermentation, the best sugar output can be achieved as much as possible. , the amount of this malt should be more, the ratio can be 10 to 1, 8 to 1, or 4 to 1. Anyway, the ratio can be changed.
The amount of malt is less than that of glutinous rice.
Do not have more malt than glutinous rice, otherwise, the maltose produced will be sour.
In fact, you can also make maltose without glutinous rice, you can also use rice, but the amount of starch contained in glutinous rice is higher than that of rice, and the maltose made from glutinous rice will taste better.
It’s better to use sticky rice.
Thinking so, Jiang Yue said to the owner of the rice shop: "Two catties of glutinous rice, one catty of wheat, and one catty of rice flour."
At that time, I won’t be able to use so much wheat and rice flour at all, and there is no way to do it. I have to buy a pound at least, so I can buy a pound of it.
"Hao Le." The rice shop owner hurriedly called the guy to weigh him. "Ninety-five pennies in total."
Jiang Yue was very fortunate that Xue Yihu and Li Hehua paid for the wontons, and Xue Yihu and Li Hehua paid for the ox cart, otherwise she and Xue Yan would not have enough money.
It was also because she was ill-considered that no matter what kind of food she bought in this town, she had to buy at least a pound.
Xue Yan hurriedly took out his purse to pay.
"Do you have enough money?" Xue Yihu and Li Hehua also took out their money bags, fearing that they would not have enough money, so they would collect it for them.
Xue Yan said: "Enough."
After gave out the money, Xue Yan only had five cents left in his wallet.
Jiang Yue looked at Xue Yan and deflated the purse. If you don't look carefully, you don't know that there are actually five cents in it.
Xue Yan looked at her.
Jiang Yue coughed dryly, and then said to him a little uncomfortable: "Let's go back and ask your mother for some money and put it on us."
Although she feels that she has nowhere to spend money, sometimes she always has to buy something.
