Chapter 893: Maple Syrup Compressed Cookies

Marin was also very happy about Garland's plan. After all, there is more sugar, which is a good thing after all. The problem is that maple syrup cannot be made into solid granulated sugar and is not easy to sell publicly.

Because, once sold publicly, consumers will ask-what is this? How did it come out ...

There is no maple syrup in Europe, and everyone will definitely think about it in the Americas. If you guess that maple syrup is produced in the Americas, you're out of luck. At the beginning, the lords could fight for a few boxes of bees. Now, for the huge amount of maple syrup, it can also cause a national war.

Can not underestimate the Europeans' pursuit of honey, not to mention the wars caused by a few boxes of bees in the early Middle Ages. Even in the 17th century, the British for the cultivation of sucrose, at the age of too old, occupied Barbados as a sugar cultivation base. You know, it was 1624 at that time. Although Spain failed once in the Great Battle of 1588, it later encircled London. The real decline of the Spanish Empire began only after the successive losses of the "Thirty Years War" and the "Eighty Years War" (with the Netherlands) around 1648. Previously, Spain was a big sea fighter. England was only able to be a pirate and dared to seize the island, which also proved its determination to obtain a sugar production base. Previously, the cane sugar in England was all granted to them by the Spaniards. The batch price was 1 shilling per pound, so black ...

Of course, the price is higher now. Because Spain ’s sugarcane planting activities in the Americas stopped because of Marin ’s rumors and intimidation. The development of sugarcane plantations in Mozambique needs to be done from scratch, and the ghost knows when it can be scaled up. At present, only Portugal can provide a large amount of sucrose. So, now the price of sucrose can be sold to 2 shillings per pound.

However, because of the availability of Indian routes, the Spaniard suddenly realized that it is more cost-effective to import sucrose to India ...

You know, Indian sucrose is as cheap as spices, and the purchase price is about 2 fenny per pound. Now, within the Kingdom of Spain, there has been a heated debate about whether to open a sugar plantation in Mozambique. Because, after calculating the cost, the Spaniards are surprised to find that it is more cost-effective to import sucrose from India than to produce their own ...

...

Europeans are so obsessed with desserts, so Marin dare not tell everyone-Canadian sugar maple trees are everywhere, it is no problem to get tens of thousands of tons of maple syrup every year ...

If Marin dares to say this, it is estimated that it will cause Europe to form an intercontinental coalition to beat him and force him to surrender to the Canadian colony ...

In fact, if there is a way to turn maple syrup into granulated sugar for sale, Marin is estimated to send a lot of manpower to explode the output of maple syrup. After all, sugar maple is the most important thing in Canada.

Today, Marin has adjusted Canada's logging policy-only allowed to cut other trees than sugar maple. Sugar maple, that's a cash cow. Regardless of whether you ask, you can get a few pounds of maple syrup from the tree every year, and then you can sell a few shillings, which is dozens of fennel. Even better, you do n’t need arable land or harvesting. Get a bucket every spring and just drill a hole in the tree ...

Marin has turned into a river of sadness, because he doesn't know how to consume maple sugar ...

Although he said that he had added maple syrup to Erguotou, which was mixed with water, and made a "royal salute" that was deceiving money. However, the output of the "Royal Salute" could not be increased. After all, it was for the nobles, and the output could not be too high. Therefore, even if Marin has enough production materials, he does not want to produce more. So, the next step is to produce compressed biscuits ...

The problem is that although Marin's North Sea country produces a lot of food, it is all rye. It seems that wheat flour is used for making cookies ...

...

This trouble Marin did not last long, because the wheat from the Americas came back ...

After making mistakes in growing wheat last spring, in the fall, Albert felt painful, shoveled out half-ripe wheat, and added another crop of wheat. The wheat that was previously removed was turned into a base fertilizer to moisturize a new round of wheat.

This autumn, the wheat harvest season has finally arrived. The 60,000 acres of wheat on Manhattan Island also produced 30 million pounds of wheat.

When Marin was worried about the lack of wheat, Albert ’s first fleet of five wheat carriers shipped a total of 5oo tons (110,200,000 pounds) of wheat back.

Marin was overjoyed and immediately made the Windmill Mill get a batch of wheat flour. Then, he came to the Royal Kitchen in person and began to study compressed biscuits ...

He first put together the usual ingredients for making cookies-wheat flour, eggs and salt, and then began to make the most common salty cookies ...

After the noodles were reconciled, Marin put the kneaded cakes in the iron mold on the iron baking tray. Before putting it, Marin also brushed a little soybean oil in the mold to prevent the cookies from burning or sticking to the mold.

Then it ’s time to bake cookies, which takes longer than baking bread. Because the bread contains more water, otherwise it is not soft enough. The biscuit does not need much water, and the water content is much lower, so the baking time is longer. At this point, Marin handed over the cook to take care of the oven, because they are professional.

After the cookies were baked, Marin ate one and felt pretty good. Then, he let people crush the biscuits into powder, add maple syrup, and reshape.

Then, he took out a small screw press that had been made by the forging factory, and crushed the shaped biscuits again, and pressed them into very compact compressed biscuits ...

Next, there is a further water removal

The process can be exposed to the sun, or you can continue to dry it. In short, further remove the water in the biscuit to extend its shelf life.

The last thing is bagging. After all, this compressed biscuit is prepared for the army and sailors, and the storage must be long enough.

Therefore, Marin took out the oil paper bag prepared earlier, put the processed compressed biscuits into the oil paper bag, and sealed the oil paper bag with glue. Then, put the packed oil paper bag on the baking stove and bake for a while at high temperature to further sterilize and ensure that the shelf life of the biscuits is long enough ...

...

After making more than a dozen bags of compressed biscuits, Marin took out a bag of biscuits and tasted them, which seemed to feel pretty good. Then, he took out a few bags of test items and shared them with the chefs.

While chatting while eating cookies, a master chef suddenly asked:

"Duke, who are you making these biscuits for? The Highness Caesar?"

Marin shook his head and said:

"No, this is for army soldiers and sailors. On the march and sailing, they eat this as a staple food every meal!"

The chefs grew their mouths in surprise ...

Marin looked at it and asked suspiciously:

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

The chef who raised the question first responded first:

"Of course there is a problem! Dagong, for ordinary big-head soldiers, is it necessary to be so good? Let's talk about this egg first, only buy 3 fenny! You make 3 biscuits and beat 3 eggs. Can these big soldiers afford it? "

Marin was also stunned, he did not expect that eggs are so expensive ...

It's no wonder that before Marin got the Kang room, European chickens, ducks and geese all hatched their own chickens, ducks and geese, and the hatching rate was very low. Moreover, hens hatch chicks for a long time, which affects foraging and has an impact on health. Even if the hen is very hard, the hatchability is very low.

Therefore, the breeding of chickens, ducks and geese in Europe is currently not very large. The egg is also a scarce food. For ordinary people, eating an egg is counted as a supplement.

Of course, with the promotion of Marin Kangfang, the breeding scale of Beihai chickens, ducks and geese will definitely be able to go up in the future. The price of eggs will certainly be greatly reduced. However, it will take at least a few years or even a dozen years. Therefore, for now, eggs are still a luxury food. Eating egg crackers for the soldiers is indeed a luxury.

This is the habit that Marin has developed in his last life. Make pasta and get used to breaking a few eggs. However, he neglected the problem of lack of materials in this era ... It was indeed extravagant to give the big soldiers a cookie with eggs.

"Okay, no more eggs will be added to the recipe in the future!" Marin followed the advice.

"That's still luxury!" The chefs were still not satisfied.

"Luxury? Only flour and salt are left! As for brushing oil, that's a must ... Do you want to mix in dirt and wood chips?" Marin was very unhappy. That's military food, not sloppy.

The chefs shook their heads, and one of them said:

"It's not a matter of adding dirt and wood chips, it's a problem of flour. You use wheat flour for ordinary soldiers and sailors. It's too luxurious! You know, a pound of wheat is equivalent to 5 pounds of rye! Why not use cheaper rye flour?"

"Can rye flour also make cookies?" Marin was dumbfounded. The biscuits he had eaten in later generations seem to be made of wheat flour. Can rye make cookies?

"Of course! The taste is almost worse than wheat flour, but it can still be done!"

Then ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ In front of Marin, the chefs baked a batch of biscuits with rye flour and salt. Malin tasted it, and now there is no discomfort except for the slightly burnt bitterness characteristic of rye. Moreover, because there is no yeast, there is no sour taste of brown bread. Although the absence of eggs affects the taste, it can also be imported. After all, people of this age are not as picky as those of later generations. In this era, as long as you can enter, everyone eats, not picking at all, and dare not pick. Otherwise, you will be hungry.

Afterwards, Marin processed the rye biscuits a second time, crushed them into powder, added maple syrup, and pressed them with a screw press to make compressed biscuits ...

Although the chefs are very opinionated on the use of maple syrup, Marin is not going to listen to them this time.

Why? Because maple syrup Marin can't sell it anyway, he dare not sell it, it is better to get it into the army grain and eat it for the soldiers. Maple syrup is rich in various minerals and organic acids, and is nutritious. The Indians can save it in winter.

Marin attaches great importance to the life of his soldiers, and using maple syrup to compress biscuits to supplement the soldiers' nutrition is also a concern for the soldiers. After all, the soldiers under him are not mobilized soldiers, but professional soldiers, and everyone's life is precious. Especially veterans are the most precious. It ’s reasonable to give them compressed biscuits made of maple syrup that they ca n’t sell.

In addition, the sailors of the big sea can also eat maple syrup compressed biscuits to supplement a variety of nutrition. Sailing on the sea, food is scarce, and nutrition is often unable to keep up. And eating more nutritious maple syrup compressed biscuits can also make sailors less sick. This is also very helpful to Marin's great nautical career. Moreover, compressed biscuits have a long shelf life, which is more convenient for sailors on the way ...
