Edo Traveler

　　 That layer of film should be rice oil, this thing is common before Chuemon comes across, and the family used to have porridge for breakfast. The same is true for mung bean porridge you drink in summer, which will have this oil film on it. It is said to be very nutritious, and I don’t know what it is.

　　 But Chuemon remembers that he had read a novel before crossing over. The actor Fujiwara Dansho seemed to have dealt with this rice specially. In addition to producing rice oil, steamed rice porridge rice has another more important output.

　　 Rice candy!

　　 is the so-called rice glutinous rice, which is somewhat similar to maltose. It is said that it tastes sweet like honey, mellow than sugar, and its value is almost the same as that of granulated sugar.

　　 Now in Edo, one or two gold can only buy six catties of sugar. The Satsuma Domain relied on sugar, but in the past ten years, it has paid a huge debt of more than three million taels of gold. This is not rice candy, this thing is a hen that lays eggs, or an old hen that lays golden eggs.

　　 At the moment, doing this errand to help the victims is a thankless errand. Although it is done well, it is a good thing, but it is not uncommon. It is not unusual for Tokugawa Jiaqing to put it out to quell public anger. Yabe Masakane, who had just become the man who took the back of the dead ghost, is still vividly visible.

　　 It’s nothing like deducting food for disaster relief. Chuemon can’t do this kind of thing, so there shouldn’t be any major problems with the people. It's not that they were left open to eat and drink, and they would hang salt and rice **** one by one, and hang these hundreds of thousands of people to death. It makes no difference whether you eat rice or soup porridge.

　　 After the common people have no problems here, if Chuemon wants to make a dazzling contribution, he has to figure out a way on the expenses. If the relief of the people is finished in a beautiful way, the north of the city is restored, and the people settle down in their own jobs, and then Zhongyoumen can still have a lot of food or money left, this will be a great contribution.

　　 can get things done again, and save money for the boss, and even make money. Which boss doesn't like this kind of employee?

When 　　 thought of this, Chuemon immediately started to act. First, he ordered Shintaro Terazawa to buy dozens of kilograms of wheat, and when he came back, let it stand in damp water to sprout, which is a necessity for making rice sugar. If you make maltose or sweet potato sugar, you also have to germinate barley. Chuemon cannot remember this thing wrong.

　　 "Why do you buy barley for?" Shuoku put down the bowl and took two cents of gold from his pocket to Shintaro Terazawa.

　　 "I am useful!" Tademon felt that the author of the novel in the previous life should not have made up a rice candy, so he should be fooled by a sand sculpture reader.

　　 chose twenty or so strong men, and then even out a dozen large pots, to give them a full meal first. Then I waited for the barley I bought to sprout.

　　 Why do you want to cook together ten large pots? Of course, it’s because Chuemon wants to do a comparative experiment. Let's remember a rough process, how can the detailed steps be clear. Fortunately, there are enough 100,000 stones of rice for Chungemon to try and make mistakes, and even if the rice is bad or even cooked, some people eat it.

　　 In these days, wasting food is going to be condemned by God!

　　 specializes in building ten stoves, adding water to steam rice, and iron pot steaming is also a technical task. Unlike the electric rice cookers in later generations, just put it in and press the button. The fire is small, with more water and less water, which may cause the steamed rice to be inappropriate. The ones that are now selected are those that are qualified for steaming the rice two days ago.

　　 The rice is steamed, and the rice is opened to observe the condition of the rice. The rice grains need to expand properly. Fortunately, Tokugawa Jiaqing gave one-year-old rice. If the rice is three-year-old, then the rice grains are probably broken. Stir the rice with a wooden spoon. Don't use too much force. Stir it back and forth. During the mixing process, repeatedly add cold water and hot water to make the rice grains distinct and not sticky.

　　 After mixing is complete, you need to add a certain amount of germinated barley powder. Malt is the key to making rice sugar. This amount is also recorded and measured for comparison experiments. As an additive to promote fermentation, more or less will not work.

　　After adding the malt powder, still stir to make the malt powder and rice fully fused. The whole process takes half an hour or even an hour, which is very tiring. After fully stirring, you can cover the pot, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it stand for a day and night.

　　 After a day and night, the fermentation is almost complete, and then the pot starts. Take out the liquid water that has been filled with sugar. The rice should not be let go, it needs to be poured out and squeezed again to ensure that the water in the rice is also squeezed out, which is the source of the rice sugar.

　　 The remaining rice, although it fermented overnight, it was not broken. There is no need to mention what it tastes like, the rice grains are also crushed, but this is still rice! As long as it’s rice, there’s no problem, and it’s all for the victims, and there will be no waste.

　　 It’s a big deal when the victims come to receive the meal~www.wuxiaspot.com~Tadaemon just give them two more. Eating is better than sweet potatoes. In the future, Japanese dumplings will serve rice, spaghetti will serve rice, steamed buns will serve rice, pizza will serve rice, they will all be well-known in the world in the future, and their love for rice can hardly be increased. Foreigners really It's hard to understand.

Put the rice aside, put the sugar water out and put it on the pot again. This time it is physical work. Boil the sugar water in a big pot and stir continuously for three to four hours. The water will basically evaporate, and the remaining ones will become the same as honey, or more Honey is more viscous rice sugar. Let it stand and cut into pieces, and it will be no different from the sugar shipped from Satsuma and Ryukyu.

　　 "This is sugar!" Shuroku licked his chopsticks and immediately tasted it.

　　 Amano Hachiro and Terazawa Shintaro also leaned over, looking at the diced sugar cubes placed in the wooden basin, a little surprised. Rice is a precious thing, and the people don’t have enough food. Of course, no one uses it to make rice candy. Some people have seen maltose, but it is also a high-priced snack, and most people have not eaten it much.

　　 "So that's it!" Looking at the dozen or so large pots that escaped, Hachiro Amano understood what Chuemon was doing in the past two days.

　　 It’s already November in the lunar calendar. There is no such thing as melting sugar. Just find a wooden bucket or whatever to place it. It doesn't even matter if you take rice bags. The solid sugar is very good.

　　 Tademon knew that the matter was not over yet, he immediately eliminated several failed control groups, selected a few control groups that produced more or sweeter sugar, and started the second round of comparative experiments.

　　 It was another two days, and finally got a relatively reasonable and suitable rice sugar production process. Not only Chuemon was overjoyed, but several others were also amazed. Tademon, who can do two things with the same rice, really deserves to be "honored"!
