Chapter 178: or me

   Chapter 178

  Wheat seedlings will consume a lot of their own malt enzymes. Too little malt enzymes will naturally affect the process of hydrolyzing starch into maltose.

  The malt that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan first used a sieve to make, it took only three days, and it was ready, and they could start making maltose.

   It happened to be discovered early in the morning that Li Hehua and Liu Guixia cooked their two kilograms of glutinous rice while they were making breakfast.

   One pot for breakfast and one pot for glutinous rice.

  Jiang Yue and Xue Yan dealt with the malt, and their fourth brother was still watching carefully. For fear of missing any details, they would help them from time to time.

  The roots of the malt all passed through the holes under the sieve. Jiang Yue asked Xue Yan to take a wooden basin to follow it. Then, all the malt that had grown in the sieve was pulled out and put into the wooden basin.

  The malt needs to be cleaned. The root of the malt is a little dirty. I was afraid that the two children could not carry the bucket. Xue Sihu hurriedly went to carry a bucket of water, and there was a scoop swaying on the water in the bucket.

   "Just wash and chop this, the more chopped the better." Jiang Yue said. "It's better to mix it with the cooked glutinous rice then."

  Xue Yan with both hands in the basin, while washing the malt with the same care as her, replied: "Yes."

   "I'll cut it up." Xue Sihu, who was also squatting, scooped another ladle of water into the basin for them and laughed.

   "Okay." Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had no objection.

When the breakfast is ready, the glutinous rice is also cooked. At this time, the glutinous rice is still very hot and cannot be mixed with the chopped malt. You have to wait until the glutinous rice is cool and a little hot, but not too hot. mix.

   Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Yue and the others have breakfast.

   After breakfast, the glutinous rice is almost dry, Jiang Yue poured the specially chopped malt into the glutinous rice, and then wanted to stir the two evenly.

   "It's still me, it's me." Xue Sihu hurriedly said.

   Until Xue Sihu used a spatula and chopsticks to stir the malt and glutinous rice evenly, Jiang Yue said, "Pour it into the pot."

   "Okay." Xue Sihu hurriedly poured it into the pot.

   With the help of the fourth brother, Xue Yan could only stand and watch.

  Liu Guixia and the others were also curious, and they all stood aside and watched.

   Jiang Yue: "Cover the lid."

  Xue Sihu: "It's done."

  Jiang Yue: "This has to be left like this for about two hours. It is estimated that it will ferment. It is best to add a small fire to the stove."

   Yes, it is a small fire.

  If the fire is high and the temperature in the pot is too high, the maltase will lose its activity and cannot hydrolyze starch into maltose. However, if the temperature is low, it will not work. The activity of maltase is not enough, and naturally the starch cannot be fully hydrolyzed.

  These, for fear that Xue Sihu and the others would not understand, she did not say it.

   However, by artificially controlling the temperature in this way, it is impossible to keep the temperature in the most suitable range. Anyway, in the end, it is impossible for the starch in the glutinous rice to be completely hydrolyzed into maltose.

  The conditions are limited, there is no way.

   "Okay." Xue Sihu responded. Whatever he did, he just had to know how to do it.

   Liu Guixia and the others too, they couldn't help but also responded: "Okay."

   "Brother Yan and I will just watch this fire. If you have something to do, just do it." Jiang Yue said.

   It will take about two hours for it to ferment, so Liu Guixia and the others really went to work in the field. The ashes of plants and trees that have been accumulated in the family for many days have not been scattered yet. They not only need to scatter them into the fields, but also into the fields.
