Chapter 560: Compressing Food

"Haha, if you succeed, let's just say that I have obtained the true inheritance of the Grand Duke, and you still don't believe it." Ding Qilin said proudly.

"It's a mess!"

Just when Ding Qilin was proud, Shi Huaiyi suddenly said.

Ding Qilin quickly spent the rice in the iron pot into the jar on the table.

"It's good to eat." Ding Qilin said.

Rice flowers are not a novelty, but they are a novelty for the captains who have never been in the kitchen, mainly because they make their own food.

When Li De was thinking about the development plan, he had the problem of soldier rations, how to carry it, how to keep the food as long as possible, and also have a rich impact, so as to replenish the energy of the soldiers.

So, the rice flower was made casually by Li De in his research and used as a snack, who would have thought that Ding Qilin would see it, and he learned it after reading it.

When the lieutenants were ready, he began to show off.

Shi Huaiyi tasted it very fragrant, and soon liked the taste of this snack, and then even began to make it, so that Li De's office barracks became a place for the lieutenants to try to make rice flowers.

There was some discussion in the room, and those who didn't know would think they were plotting something.

Li De looked at the snow scene and turned around to get together with them and said, "Actually, this is just a way to eat, if you want to get more energy, you have to make rice cakes." ”

I saw that Li De ignored the prepared rice flowers, directly boiled them with water in an iron pot and a small amount of sucrose, and then simply fried the rice flowers in the pot.

With the flipping pot, the lumps of rice flowers were taken out.

"Governor, it's all stuck together, just eat like this?" Shi Huaiyi asked curiously.

"Of course not." Li Dedao.

They have seen that the rice flowers are not as refreshing as they were just now, too soft and not very good.

Li De didn't do much to answer, and directly asked people to take the rice flowers outside, and after a while, after taking them in, he used a knife to separate the rice flowers into small pieces.

"You'll taste it now." Li Dedao.

Shi Huaiyi picked up a piece and took a bite in a hurry, with an expression of enjoyment on his face when he tasted it, and he tugged at everyone's hearts to know what it tasted like, and they seemed to forget that no one of them had a piece.

"Refreshing, crispy, sweet!" Shi Huaiyi said.

Seeing that a few lieutenants still had the heart to listen to him continue, they all rushed to taste it, sweets are not very popular, and not everyone can afford to eat them at this time.

Although the children of Jiangmen have family assets, they have eaten sugar gourds like food made of sucrose, and sucrose is what they all look forward to, and they can make sugar gourds in winter, and the taste has long been remembered in their memories.

Now they're getting a taste of something even better.

"Grand Duke, this food may be used as rations?" Li Dedao.

"Of course you can, but the sugar is limited and you can't make it in large quantities." Li Dedao.

The food he wanted to study was Shaqima, a food made mainly from eggs that could be used as food rations, provided that additives could be developed to preserve food for a long time.

Li De is very cautious in his research in chemical science, and everything he makes has to be tried and tested.

Most of these things are carried out in secret, and the test site is Li De's exclusive carriage, can a carriage hold so many things, but in fact, Li De's exclusive carriage is not one.

There are several modified carriages, all of which carry a lot of necessary things, and the layout inside has everything, which is equivalent to a moving palace and does not waste too many resources, and the things carried are necessities.

These things are made in the glaze workshop of Youzhou, and when the glazed ornaments are not produced, the craftsmen will make various chemical tools according to the requirements.

Cups, saucers, and glass bowls are all made in sets, and these things are money-making things, and none of them have entered the market now.

The reason is simple, Li De is not short of money now.

He Bida was not disappointed, he knew that sucrose was very expensive, otherwise the sugar gourd in winter would not become the main product sold in Youzhou City, and the merchants who ran around for the sugar gourd had formed a deal in a year.

There are many businessmen who imitate it, but the taste of cane sugar is always worse, and for the wealthy, of course, everything must be bought authentic to be decent.

The merchants are for the service of these people, and they go to Youzhou to wholesale sugar gourds in winter, and the merchants are okay in the first year, but the number of merchants has doubled directly this year.

Fortunately, the vanguard firm in Youzhou City has long been prepared, and it can be sold at a good price according to the amount of stock.

The snow in Bingcheng is much heavier than that in Youzhou City.

Li De instructed the soldiers to make fried rice, and the swelled rice flowers were still a little chewy, and it was usually a benefit to give the soldiers as snacks, and these rice flowers were made into a piece of fast.

Although the reserve of sucrose is limited, it still has sweetness after dilution, which can have a better texture and taste.

In the winter in the barracks, the soldiers ate rice and snacks and listened to the stories told by the people in the barracks, all of which were popular scripts, and the bizarre stories attracted them.

Everyone heard it with relish, and Li De encouraged this kind of activity, and now the soldiers are literate, and letting them read more helps them develop the habit of studying.

Watching something that will help them pass the time of boredom and also relax them.

There are very few recreational activities in winter, and there is nothing to do after the necessary daily training, and it is simply not possible to find something for them.

Now that they have all developed a habit, Li De will make some delicious snacks every few days and give them to the soldiers to taste, anyway, he is trying to make compressed biscuits.

Eggs, meat, all kinds of grains are steamed, crushed, dried, baked, etc., and finally pressed with hard wooden stakes.

The compressed biscuits are made extremely hard, sometimes pressed too hard to directly not be able to eat, loose and can not achieve the effect of compression, after countless failures to find the hardness to adapt.

As a result, the guards around Li De finally preferred to lead the team for a run rather than come over to try it, they really ate too much, and if it was too hard, they would soak it in hot water, and it would take a long time to soak.

Then after eating, after mixing it with water, after eating too much, the feeling of fullness makes them extremely uncomfortable, and they have to eat two less meals to digest it.

Li De didn't stop at that time, because the compressed biscuits were really full.

Mass production began after the success of the experiment, and after testing that the compressed biscuits could be stored for at least 20 days after drying, and after testing throughout the winter, Li De was sure that the actual storage time would be longer.

Because to make compressed biscuits, a large number of eggs, meat, and grains are needed, including beef and sheep bone meal, which can supplement calcium and increase trace elements.

The city is preparing for war, and everyone knows in their hearts that they will go to the battlefield after the winter passes.
