In fact, the so-called ghee is the fat in milk. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the summer and autumn, the animals produce a lot of milk. Fresh milk is not suitable for storage, herdsmen use the method of constant stirring, so that the fat in the milk and water are separated, the fat is the cream, or called white oil, and then the cream is further dehydrated and extruded, it becomes a high-energy ghee that can be stored for a long time, or butter, and is left for the long winter to eat.

In later generations, Sun Yi not only visited the herdsmen's traditional method of making ghee by hand, but also saw the process of electrifying ghee.

The traditional method is to pour fresh milk into a bucket and pound it up and down repeatedly with a wooden rod piston. In the summer, male herders are out grazing, milking cows and whipping ghee before the fresh milk spoils, taking up almost all of the female herders' time. This work is not only monotonous and boring, but also requires a lot of physical strength. What Kikige said about beating ghee while singing is actually a counting song that is bitter and happy.

Later generations of herders have abandoned this inefficient manual method, and the milk separation artifact they use turned out to be the washing machine!

A small washing machine that rotates for three hours can top a woman's workload for three days. Although many nomadic elders complain that the ghee from the washing machine is not as fresh and delicious as the traditional handmade ghee, the young women in the pastoral area unanimously praise the time-saving and labor-saving method that gives them time to do other things.

I'm afraid that the inventor of the washing machine never dreamed that his invention would fundamentally emancipate women in this way.

Now Sun Yi also intends to use this way to liberate the women of Hesheng. The old man Mozhigen said that they had more than 100 dingkou, and Qiqige said that every man had three or four daughters-in-law, so wasn't that three or four hundred women labor?

If you can't get an electric washing machine, you can start a manual or water-operated ghee machine first, so Sun Yi needs to get some fresh milk back for testing, and by the way, scare and scare Qiqige.

Sure enough, as soon as Qiqige heard that Sun Yi wanted her to make ghee, she immediately looked worried.

It was already five or six o'clock in the afternoon when the group returned to Hesheng Wharf, and Battle and a few nomads with the mission of "lobbyists" had already prepared a raft and were waiting for Sun Yi.

Morrigan prepared another feast that was even more sumptuous than the one in the morning.

In the past few days, Sun Yi has been in contact with Qiqige, and Sun Yi already knows that the eating habit of the nomads at this time is to eat only one dinner a day, and on weekdays, in the morning, morning, and afternoon, they all rely on drinking some milk tea and eating some fried millet seeds. Old man Mozhigen obviously brought their dinner time forward for Sun Yi.

After entering the banquet, Sun Yi kept looking at the banquet, in addition to the fragrant hand-handled mutton, Sun Yi was pleasantly surprised to find that there was actually "Hu Rida".

Sun Yi screamed, grabbed a slice and stuffed it into his mouth, and Mo Rigen immediately laughed into a line when he saw his eyes.

Hurida is also a dairy product. The "semi-skimmed milk" separated from the white oil is fermented and heated, and the protein in the milk is coagulated, and the water is squeezed out. The taste is sour, sweet and salty, and it is best served as an appetizer. Sun Yi later ate it once in the pastoral area and liked it.

Hu Rida is also divided into dry and wet. The wet Hu Rida is soft and tender, and the Chinese name is milk tofu, which is the kind that Sun Yi eats now. Removing some of the moisture and hardening the Hurida is the cheese in the supermarket. Thoroughly drying the water and hardening the erection of the hurida is called milk pimple.

Sun Yipin the smell of milk in his mouth, and vaguely told Mo Rigen that Tiemuying wanted to buy a large number of milk lumps.

Morrigan asked in surprise, "Lidel likes to eat milk bumps?" ”

Sun Yi shook his head honestly.

Sun Yi has tried milk bumps, but he can't bite at all, and he can definitely use them as stones to cut people, and the killing effect is to throw moon cakes for a few streets. The nomad's milk bump and Shaanxi's pot helmet are a perfect match, one can be used to attack, the other can be used to defend, and Sun Yijue's can be equipped to the troops in large quantities.

Milk gnocchi is rich in milk protein and milk fat, high in calories, can not deteriorate for several months like a pot helmet, and is easy to carry in the field like a pot helmet. In the upcoming steppe war, the soldiers of the Tiemu Battalion may have to rely on these two.

Dairy products are the rations of the nomads, and Sun Yi plans to wait for the harvest in autumn to pay for the grain from Shulinzi Township.

As soon as Sun Yi explained his idea to Mo Rigen, the old man said that this was the right thing, and Lidel was assured that this summer, the nomads of Hesheng would make all of Hu Rida into milk lumps and supply all of them to the Ironwood Battalion.

Sun Yi's second thing is still related to milk, that is, he asked Mo Rigen for fresh milk to bring back with the raft.

Mo Rigen was stunned when he heard the amount Sun Yi wanted, "What does Lidel want so much milk for?" ”

Sun Yi smiled at Qiqige, "This little girl has nothing to do all day, I plan to ask her to make ghee for me." ”

Kikige immediately pitifully added to Morrigan, "Find me another bucket for ghee." ”

Sun Yi hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, we don't need to beat ghee in buckets." ”

Qiqige's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he shook Sun Yi and begged, "Brother Yi, if you don't use a bucket, you will be tired to death." I won't dare to be angry with you again, so please let me beat ghee with a bucket. ”

The oldest way to make ghee was to put fresh milk in a skin bag and rub it repeatedly, and Kikige thought that Sun Yi was going to punish her in this way. Kikige is young, and it is difficult for her to beat ghee with a bucket, and if she beats ghee with a leather bag, she will definitely not be able to stand it.

Sun Yi laughed and told the truth about his thoughts, and Qiqige let out a long sigh of relief.

Morrigan was excited at first, but immediately shook his head again, "No! If it's too hot, the fresh milk will spoil. ”

Sun Yi suddenly realized that there was no refrigerator freezer at this time.

While Sun Yi was pondering, Battle opened his mouth: "There is a way. Warm the fresh milk over a little heat, and the weather can be left for a day without being bad. We can send the treated milk down on a raft every morning after milking, so you can have milk for testing every day. ”

Sun Yi was taken aback, and what Battle said was the Pasteur disinfection method that Sun Yi was pondering in his heart.

Pasteurized milk sterilization methods only appeared in Europe in the 19th century, generally two kinds: one is heated to 61.1~65.6 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, and the other is heated to 71.7 degrees Celsius for at least 15 seconds. Due to the low temperature achieved by pasteurization, it does not destroy the protein and fat in the milk, and cannot reach the level of sterilization. However, it can reduce the total number of bacteria by 90%-95%, which can play a role in extending the shelf life of milk.

Sun Yi asked Battle, "How do you know this method?" ”

Battle replied: "There are few cattle and sheep at home, and people who milk less than a bucket at a time, all use this method to save milk together and make ghee." ”

It turned out that as early as the Ming Dynasty, Chinese herdsmen had been applying the simple Pasteur disinfection method, and Sun Yi secretly thought that the name of the Pasteur disinfection method would probably have to be changed to the Battle disinfection method in the future.

Sun Yi suggested: "Since the time of the day will not be bad, can you transport more fresh milk down the water every morning?" In this way, the people who can't eat enough in Changsheng Village downstream will have milk to drink, and the milk you milked more in summer will also have a place to go, and I think the people of Changsheng will be willing to exchange it for the food they will harvest in the future. ”

The old man still shook his head, "This is not good! ”

……

When Sun Yi returned to Changsheng Wharf on a raft that night, he did not bring back fresh milk as originally planned, but brought a few milk-producing ewes tied with four hooves on the raft.

According to Morrigan's idea, in a few days the shepherds of Hesheng would drive more sheep down and trade directly with Temuying for the freshest goat's milk.
