Chapter 408: Ancient Alkali Production

"Set the temperature, bake for about 18 minutes, and don't worry about the whole time, just wait for it to bake."

Li Yi set the time on the oven, looked back and asked with a smile, "How is it?" Simple, right? ”

“……”

Next to the camera, Huang Xiaoming and Wu Lei glanced at each other and muttered hesitantly: "It's simple...... Right? ”

Although Li Yi did it, it did seem to be very simple, just mixed the dough and then divided it into dough.

But they know that if they do it themselves, it may not be so easy.

"Practice makes perfect, and you will become proficient by doing it a few more times."

Li Yi smiled and wiped his hands.

Wu Lei stepped forward, looked at the noodle nest inside curiously through the transparent oven door, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Yi, don't you need to press this flat?" I see those peach cakes are flat, huh? ”

"No, you don't."

Li Yi explained: "When I was making noodles, what was the baking soda that I just inserted with my finger for? Isn't that just to puff it up?

When the temperature rises, baking soda will naturally release carbon dioxide, forming a foaming effect, and the peach crisp will spread out. ”

"So amazing?"

Wu Lei looked at the inside of the oven suspiciously.

"If you don't believe it, look at it, the temperature will come up in a few minutes, and the flowers will bloom quickly."

Li Yi said with a smile.

"I'll see."

Wu Lei was very curious, took out his mobile phone, and filmed in the oven.

"I'll take a look, too."

Zhao Jinmai pushed Liu Yifei and also came to the oven to observe the peach crisp inside.

And Master Cai also took a camera and set it up in front of the oven, photographing the situation inside.

The camera takes photos at a rate of 5 seconds and is used for post-production time-lapse effects.

At a rate of 5 seconds, you can take 12 photos in one minute.

The minimum frame rate for a moving image is 24 frames per second, so every two minutes of a photo can form a 1-second video.

The oven is set to 18 minutes, which results in 216 photos and a total of 9 seconds of animated video.

In the eyes of the audience, in these 18 minutes, the change of peach crisp inside the oven will form a dynamic effect of just 9 seconds, as if time is accelerating.

This process, for the audience, will only take 9 seconds.

But in the eyes of Wu Lei and the others waiting outside the oven, the time was relatively long.

However, after the first few minutes of heating time, the inside of the oven begins to change noticeably.

The dough begins to slowly expand at a rate that is discernible to the naked eye.

The wide space between the fossale was quickly filled by the swollen fossa.

In the process, the originally thick dough nest is like melted cream, spread into a ball, and gradually becomes familiar to everyone.

In the center of the dough nest, the dough is particularly inflated, as if it is slowly boiling, and even blows the dough up slightly.

However, as time passed, the bulging position in the center of the dough slowly collapsed.

The outer skin, which had just become thin because of the bulging, had collapsed and cracked one after another.

Inside the gap, the foaming and loose structure full of pores leaks out, forming a color difference with the surface sheet, and it looks as if there is a peach blossom in full bloom.

This process happens slowly, but it is continuous and peaceful.

Wu Lei and the others were stunned for a while.

When the oven bell rang, they realized that they had stuck their heads out and stared at the peach crisp in the oven for more than ten minutes.

"Shhh

Wu Lei rubbed his waist and straightened up: "My waist! ”

Zhao Jinmai held on to the armrest of Liu Yifei's wheelchair, which was much stronger than him, but also a little sore in his neck.

Rubbing his shoulders and neck, Zhao Jinmai sighed: "It's amazing!" This side is like it's alive inside, and I feel like it's growing all the time! ”

Liu Yifei also nodded: "There is a feeling of life germination, which is quite decompressing." ”

"You're decompressing, I'm supercharging."

Wu Lei grinned and moved his waist: "My waist is about to break." ”

Liu Yifei smiled and quipped: "Where does a child have a waist?" ”

Wu Lei pondered when he heard this, and immediately put his hand down: "That's it!" It's definitely an illusion. ”

"Shhhh Don't pick it up! ”

Zhao Jinmai pouted and complained, and then turned his head to Li Yi and asked: "Brother Yi, you said that this peach cake was already made in the Ming Dynasty, but how could there be baking soda in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Huh? That's right! ”

Wu Lei also clapped his hands, as if he had just reacted: "There was no baking soda in ancient times?" How do you make the peach crisp? ”

Zhao Jinmai turned on the fantasy mode: "Could it be that there is a modern female doctor of chemical engineering who traveled back to the Ming Dynasty and invented soda to make peach crisp?" ”

Wu Lei was not convinced: "Why isn't it a male doctor in engineering?" ”

Zhao Jinmai looked at him and asked, "Aren't all boys going back to be emperors?" Who would want to make peach cakes? ”

"Huh?"

Wu Lei thought for a while: "That's right! ”

Seeing their serious nonsense, Huang Xiaoming complained with a smile: "Are you really a time travel drama?" ”

Wu Lei spread his hands: "No one crosses, how did the peach cake come out?" ”

Huang Xiaoming didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Li Yi.

Li Yi smiled and explained: "Soda is soda ash, there was no soda ash in ancient times, but there was alkaline water!"

The most common is to burn dried straw to ashes and filter out the water with gauze, which is natural alkaline water.

The two Guangxi areas are burned with lychee trees and cinnamon, and filtered with pine hair, and the alkaline water obtained will have a fragrance.

The best thing to use is the ash burned after the bean husk is dried, and the Hakka people used to make alkaline water dumplings, which were made of bean husk ash water. ”

"Can it still be like this?"

Wu Lei was shocked: "How unhygienic is that?" ”

"Who said it was unhygienic?"

Li Yi said with a smile: "The plant ash is the residue left by the fire, which is sterilized at high temperature and is very clean.

In ancient times, plant ash was a medicinal material, and the ash made of different materials of plants and trees could also cure many diseases!

The water filtered out with plant ash, in addition to alkaline substances, has many trace elements and activated carbon, which is good for digestion. ”

"It's amazing!"

Zhao Jinmai was also exclaiming: "The ancients were really too smart!" Then we've been learning about chemistry for a long time! ”

"Of course."

Li Yi said with a smile: "In the Ming Dynasty's "Tiangong Kaiwu", there are many chemical processes systematically recorded.

Engineering has always been inherited in the development of our civilization, but it's a pity that ......"

He didn't elaborate, just put on his insulated gloves and pulled open the oven door.

A crispy fragrance wafted out, not as fragrant as [fresh meat mooncakes], but it smelled very comfortable.

took out the baking tray, Li Yi gently pushed it with a spatula, and the peach crisp fell off, breaking up a layer of fine dregs.

"Give me a taste."

Zhao Jinmai had already handed over the plate.

Li Yi scooped one up, put it on the plate, and then used the shovel to gently tap in the center, and the peach crisp was broken into several petals.

"That's too crispy, isn't it?"

Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but exclaim.

She took the chopsticks and tried to use them to clip them, but found that she couldn't hold them at all.

Whenever she wanted to exert herself, she would crush the edges of the peach crisp.

Finally, she used chopsticks to push the peach cake to the plate and clamped it sideways.

She couldn't wait to blow it, and she took a bite.

Sand~!

The fluffy peach crisp has almost no hard feeling, just a touch of teeth, it has already spread out.
