Chapter 79: Sweet Potato Powder
Bang!
The Shi brothers pushed the sweet potato into the firewood pit, the charcoal met the sweet potato, and the flame rose up instantaneously again, only to disappear again after a while.
"Add firewood. Xiao Ran said.
Originally, roasted sweet potatoes, that is, roasted sweet potatoes, were first put into the hot charcoal, and then a layer of charcoal and plant ash was spread on top of the sweet potatoes.
However, the Zerg currently do not have the ability to spread the mixture all over the sweet potato. Therefore, Xiaoran's plan is to find some longer dead branches and fallen leaves, spread them on top of the sweet potatoes, and let them burn on their own.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
After more than an hour of waiting, the sweet potatoes of the second-generation juicer have been licked in half. In the current stone scoop, only half of the sweet potatoes are left unsold.
Cracking sound.
The newly laid dry branches in the pit began to turn into fiery charcoal after a frenzied burning. The breeze blows, and the charcoal uses up its last strength to breathe, trying to light itself into the brightest spot.
Next, you don't need to do much, just wait quietly and patiently.
......
It smells so good!
Ten minutes later, the smell of roasted sweet potatoes had permeated the entire Sea Buckthorn Heath.
......
After about an hour, the sweet potatoes were finally cooked.
This huge sweet potato is enough for the ant people in the sea buckthorn wasteland to eat for several days. Of course, the premise is that sweet potatoes are not spoiled in the case.
"Let's eat!" Xiao Ran commanded.
"Ahem...... Ahem...... Wait a minute...... Wait......"
The wizard shouted in whiskers as he ran.
The crowd looked at the running old wizard, all stunned by his behavior, could it be ...... Could it be that something urgent has happened?
"Ahem...... Wait a minute...... Let the old man come first!" shouted the wizard.
Burst......
This wizard!
Xiao Ran shared roasted sweet potatoes with the worker ants, and when they burned, the Shi brothers also got their fair share. It's just that the Shi brothers eat separately from the ants, after all, they still have differences in eating habits.
In order to respect the habits of all sea buckthorn insects, Xiao Ran separated the Shi brothers from the ants.
"Incense. ”
"It smells so good. ”
"Well, it's fine. ”
......
The workers have already tasted too much deliciousness, and after tasting the raspberry jam and brown sugar, they don't have a particularly high opinion of the taste of this roasted sweet potato. The taste of sweet potatoes is too familiar to them, unlike brown sugar, raspberry jam, cancer meat, popcorn, and leg eggs.
Although the sweet potatoes they taste now are different from the ones they have eaten before, they are all sweet potatoes after all.
Xiao Ran didn't think so, those sugars and jams were the foods he often ate when he was in human form, and the coarse grains like roasted sweet potatoes felt that they could evoke his memories even more and make him recall the happy times when he was a child.
When he was a child, he often went to the field with his friends to dig sweet potatoes and find a place where no one was there to bake. Or you can move a few freshly ripe corns and put them in the fire without peeling the husks.
Corn that is not hulled does not turn black when it is burned or roasted and retains moisture better than corn that is hulled.
Yes!
Xiao Ran took a bite of it, this roasted sweet potato is very sweet and delicious......
......
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The second-generation juicer presses rhythmically.
Xiao Ran pondered, he needed to find a piece of gauze, put the pressed sweet potato into the gauze, and put a water tank under the gauze. The gauze is diluted and filtered with water, so that the slag of the sweet potato remains in the gauze, and the sweet potato starch dissolves in the water and flows into the tank under the gauze with the water.
The water that dissolves the sweet potato starch will separate from the water after standing for a period of time, and the starch will accumulate at the bottom layer and the water will be at the top layer.
Scoop away the water on it, and only clumps of sweet potato starch are left in the tank.
After pondering, Xiao Ran returned to the old mansion to look for gauze.
He slipped into a cabinet, and sure enough, as luck would have it, he easily found the gauze he needed.
Xiao Ran instructed the ants to cut the gauze into the size they needed and carry it to the sea buckthorn wasteland. He first set up two small wooden sticks to form a cross, and then asked the ants to tie the four corners of the gauze to the four ends of the sticks with needles and threads.
In this way, a gauze that can hold sweet potato residue is made.
This gauze device has no wife, and can only hold the dregs of a sweet potato. Then, Xiao Ran instructed the Shi brothers and the ants to build a scaffold and put the gauze device on it.
He also instructed the ants to push a porcelain bowl out of the kitchen, and put it under the gauze, and a finished filter was completed.
Using this device to filter the starch, it took four times to add water and filter and clarify four times before the starch of a sweet potato was completely filtered.
Bang!
Bang!
One sweet potato does not have much powder, and the second sweet potato is also put into a second-generation juicer and ready to be filtered.
"Prime Minister, there are too many ashes in the firewood pit, why don't we clean it up, so we can use it next time to roast sweet potatoes." Rattan pepper said.
Xiao Ran looked at the firewood pit full of ashes.
Plant ash......
Potassium carbonate?
......
"Store the ashes in clean toon leaves. Xiao Ran commanded.
"Isn't it supposed to be piled under the flowers and plants......" said Pepper.
"Let's store it first. Xiao Ran said.
Then, with some worker ants, Sichuan pepper cleaned up all the ashes in the firewood pit and stored it on four clean toon leaves.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
It took a total of three working days to filter the starch of the three sweet potatoes.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
After the second-generation juicer finishes squeezing the sweet potatoes, it begins to squeeze the sugarcane. It took Xiao Ran two more days to smuggle the sugarcane back from the sugarcane fields.
After several hours of precipitation of the last sweet potato starch, the cloudy starch-water mixture became clear, and Xiao Ran instructed the worker ants to still use the siphon method to drain all the water on the sweet potato starch.
A very flat and compact sweet potato starch mass appeared in front of the ants.
"It's magic!"
"Oh yes!
"Sweet potatoes can still be turned into this thing!"
"Yes, yes!"
"I'll say it first, I think the first is better than the troll!"
......
As a result, Ran received the title of "Starch Magician".
The sweet potato starch clump is gathered together due to precipitation, and it is very compact, and if you want to use these starches normally, you need a final process.
Xiao Ran instructed the ants to take out all the sweet potato starch, spread it on the toon leaves, and use the power of nature to dry it.
By the way, Grass Ash......
After the sweet potato starch was taken out, Xiao Ran asked the ants to put the plant ash into the gauze filter device, add water, and filter the grass ash again.
Although the ants were puzzled, they still did as Xiao Ran instructed.
Xiao Ran has brought too many things that the ant clan does not understand, and they have long been accustomed to facing a completely new thing at any time.
After the grass ash was filtered, after a night of clarification, Xiao Ran instructed the workers to use the siphon method to take out the upper layer of water.
But this time, unlike the caricature, Xiao Ran asked for the clean water from the upper layer and kept it in a glass jar.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The second-generation juicer has already squeezed the sugarcane juice.
