Chapter 2098: Sweet Potato Burn
"The rise of the emperor (!
In fact, potatoes are better food than sweet potatoes. Potato noodles are also much better than sweet potato noodles (sweet potato noodles) and are more suitable for making noodles. The nutritional value of sweet potato noodles is far inferior to potato noodles, what? Do you say that sweet potatoes have higher nutritional value and contain vitamin XX? Sorry, these vitamins are almost lost after being dried and powdered, and then steamed.
If used as a vegetable, sweet potatoes are indeed very good and rich in vitamins. However, it is far inferior to potatoes when used as flour. Because sweet potato noodles are not sticky after adding water, they cannot be kneaded, and they cannot be made into steamed bread and other shapes. Therefore, it can only be used directly to spread pancakes. If you want to make noodles, such as steamed buns and wowotou, you need to mix it with other flours before you can use it. Wowotou, which northerners used to eat, is made by mixing sweet potato noodles with coarse grains such as cornmeal and sorghum noodles and then adding water to stir them to form Wowotou. Therefore, sweet potato noodles are classified as coarse grains. But in fact, it is not the thick sweet potato noodles, but the real coarse grains such as corn noodles.
But there is no way, who makes sweet potato noodles unable to make noodles on their own? Potato noodles are different. They are similar to other wheat flours. They can be mixed with water and made into steamed bread or even noodles. They are more suitable for serving as a staple food. Therefore, later generations of China designated potatoes as the fourth staple food, second only to rice, wheat and corn. However, sweet potatoes are not regarded as staple food.
No way, sweet potatoes need to be matched with other flours if they want to be processed into pasta. Therefore, it can only become a supplementary food. However, that was the era of abundant supplies in the later generations.
What is this era? Some eat well in the age! Sweet potato noodles are indeed not suitable for making pasta, but so what? Can you still not eat when you are hungry?
Moreover, Marin plans to mix sweet potato noodles with a small amount of rye flour to make pasta. Among them, sweet potato noodles occupies the majority, and rye noodles occupies a minority, which acts as a binder. Then, it is made into buns and pastries. In this way, the people are more receptive.
As for potatoes, they are indeed more suitable as staple food. However, Marin is reluctant to promote. If potato seeds were stolen by the French, it would be a disaster. Because potatoes are too suitable for Europe's warm and cold climate. At that time, the price of food will fall, and you will have no money to make. Unlike sweet potatoes, even if they are stolen, they are not suitable for cultivation in most parts of Europe. This thing is probably only suitable for planting in southern Europe such as Spain, because the temperature is high enough.
Moreover, according to the spies in Spain, the Spaniards have tried to use sweet potatoes to make flour for food. As a result, because the addition of water and noodles failed, I had to give up. Then, sweet potatoes are naturally out of fashion and can only be used as a complementary food. But the Spaniards don’t know that sweet potatoes can be made into pasta with some other flour. Of course, Marin would not remind them.
Therefore, Marin's plan is to let the Taino people grow sweet potatoes while also planting part of rye. Then, rye flour and sweet potato noodles are mixed to make pasta. The rye grows more luxuriantly than weeds, and it doesn’t use much weeding, and its management is relatively simple. And sweet potatoes, it's a match made in heaven.
…
In addition to serving as a staple food, Marin has another plan-to make wine with sweet potatoes in the future!
Well, it is the legendary "sweet sweet potato".
The wine yield of sweet potato (sweet potato) is not high. Three catties of sweet potatoes are equivalent to one catty of rice. However, the production of sweet potatoes is high! This year, the yield per mu of sweet potatoes is ten times that of rice. What if the alcohol rate is one-third that of rice? After conversion, the wine yield per mu of sweet potatoes is still more than three times that of rice per mu.
Of course, sweet potato burnt is not good, just taste the taste of wine. But this is not a problem. Marin plans to introduce some Japanese farmers to grow rice and mix part of the rice to make sweet potato wine, which will taste better.
Moreover, the sweet potato is not good, so it can be blended. You can add some maple syrup or something to make the taste better.
In addition, for the Eastern European Maozi of this era, it doesn't matter if the sweet potato burnt has a poor taste, but if the price is lowered, it is just as popular. The Maozi can even drink alcohol with water, and they don't mind drinking sweet potatoes.
Even because the price of sweet potato burnt is cheaper, they will like it even more. Because they are poor...
Poor ghost wants to drink strong alcohol? It's not easy in this era! After all, food prices in Europe are so expensive!
The low-cost sweet potato roasting just gives them the opportunity to buy more spirits. How can they be unhappy?
Marin is also very happy. In this way, he can save a lot of food. After all, food is so expensive that it is a waste of wine to use it. In the past, there was no population and no food could be consumed, so they used the food to make wine.
But now, with the Ross immigrants and Indian serfs, food is tight. But the spirits business is going to do, so it is a good choice to use high-yield sweet potatoes instead of rye to make wine.
Of course, beer or something, there is no way, it has to be brewed with rye. After all, sweet potatoes can't make beer. In addition, the "Royal Salute" provided to the nobles must also be brewed with rye. But there are not many nobles, so the consumption of rye is also limited. On the contrary, the ordinary spirits supplied to ordinary people are relatively large, and the consumption of rye is amazing. With sweet potato burning, Ma Lin would rather lower the price, but also save some food.
In the era of food shortage, sweet potato burning is almost the only choice for drunks. Like during the Anti-Japanese War, because many peasants fled or were killed, food was extremely scarce. At that time, if you want to drink, you can only use sweet potato burning. Like in "The Bright Sword", Li Yunlong usually drank sweet potatoes. Even, because of the promise of half a catty of sweet potatoes, the gunner's pillar was excited and directly killed the command post of the Bantian United Team.
Therefore, in an era when food is scarce, it is more cost-effective to use sweet potatoes to make wine. If people in other countries in this era know that the North Sea country uses a large amount of rye to make spirits, it is estimated that they would have the thought of strangling Marin. This is so special. More than half of the bread you eat is wood chips, dirt and other debris. You actually use so much spicy rye to brew... Rotten your dog head!
However, the taste of sweet potatoes is really bad. Therefore, Ma Lin wondered whether to gather a group of master brewers to study the blending process. For example, blend the best-tasting wine with sweet potatoes...
The purity of sweet potato burnt is higher, close to alcohol. Then, take a low-alcohol wine and blend it with sweet potatoes. In this way, the degree is increased, but the taste of the wine is preserved... Well, there is a lot to be done about this...
As for the mixed liquor and wine, it is easy to get drunk? Is this a problem? Many alcoholics drink, don't they just get drunk? Therefore, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is not a problem. Even, Marin plans to add some sucrose to the wine to cover up the poor taste of sweet potatoes with sweetness. And this can be regarded as finding a place to consume Cuban cane sugar. Moreover, wine with added sugar is easy to drink too much unknowingly, which just increases consumption. As for what hurts the body or harms health, Marin doesn't care about it. If you want to be healthy, it’s best not to drink...
Ma Lin has the final say, if the planting method with three fertilizers is used, the yield of sweet potatoes will be at least four to five thousand catties per mu, which is equivalent to ten times the current yield of rye per mu in Beihai. The wine yield rate of rye is not as good as that of rice, and the wine yield rate of sweet potatoes is one third of that of rice... Therefore, the wine yield of one mu of sweet potatoes is three or four times that of one mu of rye, which is definitely a good business.
Moreover, the leftover sweet potato vinasse from making sweet potatoes can also be used as feed to feed pigs...a proper industrial chain...not only can it provide white wine, but also produce a lot of pork. The sweet potato yield rate is not high, so there are more lees and more pigs can be raised. At that time, the North American colonies will inevitably become a major producer of wine and meat...
