I went back home and rested for a while.

It's time to cook dinner again. Kaitsu likes to cook, but he doesn't like to wash dishes. Now if Erica works in the fields, she won't come to cook, it's all Jiayi's work.

Donna came back with her brother Cargill in her arms, probably to find her mother to breastfeed. This little bit should be weaned soon, Jia Yi listened to what his mother Erica said.

The little guy is still quite cute, when he doesn't cry or make trouble. With big round eyes and a pink little face, people can't help but want to pinch it when they look at it.

Children's eyes are very large, and they feel that they are not in the same dimension as adults, and they seem to become smaller when they grow up.

There's nothing to say about dinner, it's still the same, wheat rice with vegetables, and a little salt, even Jiayi can't make any tricks for this kind of thing. It's just that before the vegetables are cooked, a small piece of fatty bacon is fried with a little oil to enhance the flavor.

The rice was boiling in the pot, and Kaichi asked his sister to watch the fire, and he went to prepare the flour himself.

He entered the room, closed the door, and took out the fine-mesh sieve he had prepared, and placed a small clean wooden basin underneath. Divide the pound of flour you bought, divide it into a sieve, lower the sieve a little above the basin, and shake it gently.

The flour fell like this, it was not white, it was a little gray, and the sieve was still not fine enough, and some fine wheat bran was still mixed in.

Jiayi doesn't actually know how to make bread, but he saw his mother make steamed buns when he was on Earth. Just think about it, after the flour is fermented, the whole thing is steamed bread, and the stuffing is steamed buns, and it is baked with fire, isn't that bread?

Modern flour is divided into high gluten and low gluten, and what cake is used for steamed bread. Anyway, Jia Yi has no choice, it's good to have flour, don't care if he has high gluten and low gluten.

Sperm is almost the same!

Carefully sifted the flour three times, and finally got a relatively fine "white flour", said to be white flour, in fact, it is not white, some yellowish, and you can see the extremely fine ground bran, in the end, it is still impossible to clean up.

This pound of flour gives you about 7 percent of the "refined flour". In fact, the remaining so-called bran also contains some flour, but it is not easy to continue to separate.

These are the so-called black flours. What Jia Yi saw when he bought flour was that there were two kinds of white flour and black flour separated from ordinary flour. White flour costs three times as much as regular flour, and black flour is less than half the price of regular flour.

White flour was not sold much, because there were few people in the town who could afford it, and most of it was transported to the provincial capital and sold. However, black flour is bought and eaten by many people, after all, it is cheaper, cheaper than wheat.

But black flour is not black bread, because the flour content is too small to make bread, most of it is directly boiled and eaten, like cereal. It's just not as tasty as cereal.

Brown bread is made from unrefined whole wheat bread, refined white bread, although it is not very white.

And the wheat boiled out is not much better than black flour. However, Jiayi's family grows wheat by himself, so it is more cost-effective to eat wheat and more hungry.

The poor people in the town were landless. Although there are many wastelands in the wilderness, it is not safe to be too far away from the settlement, and secondly, all the lands belong to the lord, and ordinary people do not have the right to open pits at will.

Having said all this, it actually has little to do with what Jia Yi is currently doing, anyway, it is impossible for him to buy flour to make food for the time being.

He's going to start making peace now.

He first took about half of the flour and mixed it with the sake lees, added a little cold boiled water, and began to mix the dough.

Originally, he wanted to mix the lees with water and let the clarified liquid on them stand to be used as yeast seeds, but he was afraid that there would not be enough yeast, and second, he was afraid that the remaining lees would be wasted.

People are poor and short-minded!

As for the boiling water, it was boiled by the way when the rice was just cooked. He is afraid that there are many other miscellaneous bacteria in the cold water, which will multiply in the dough and cause the dough to spoil.

In fact, in theory, yeast inhibits the growth of other miscellaneous bacteria, so alcohol will be produced when sake brewing will not become moldy and spoiled. Of course, if you have a problem with the operation, the growth of other miscellaneous bacteria will be vigorous, which will affect the growth of yeast, and the wine will go bad.

Bread and winemaking are both made with yeast, which is theoretically the same.

After kneading for a while, it seemed to be a little dry, so he added some more water and continued to knead, and then found that there was too much water, so he had to add more flour. With a shake of the little hand, it seems that there is more flour?

He didn't continue to add water, he continued to add like this, and no amount of flour was enough.

He first made the flour as heavy as possible, and then kneaded it vigorously, trying to knead the dough smoothly. It's just that he is young in the end, although he has developed well, but after all, the little brother can't stand up, and his strength is still not big enough.

After kneading for about ten minutes, Jiayi couldn't hold on anymore. At this time, Daddy Gary came home. Jia Yi hurriedly gave up his place and let his father wash his hands and continue to rub them.

Gary was a man of regular farm work, and in a short time the surface of the dough began to smooth out.

"Jiayi, where did you get the white noodles from, I don't remember having this thing at home. It's hard to see that Gary didn't ask Jiayi this question for the first time, but he was still relatively calm.

"The teacher bought it for me. I saw that the wheat at home was almost dry, and I wanted to prepare it first to make white bread. "As for why he makes bread and not steamed buns.

It's not just because this book is in the Western fantasy style and goes well with bread, but the main reason is that he doesn't have a steamer and lacks materials to make fillings. You can't make steamed buns.

Therefore, Jiayi chose bread that he didn't know very well, and didn't choose buns, as for steamed buns, heheda.

"White bread!" Gary listened and stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Kaichi, a complicated look on his face, a little struggling, a little guilty.

"Dad, don't worry, although I haven't done it, I will definitely be able to make delicious white bread. ”

"No, Kaichi!" Gary paused and continued, "Then let's do it this time, otherwise, there will not be enough food at home." ”

After he finished his words softly, he continued to knead the piece of dough in his hand, softer and harder, and kneaded harder and harder, as if he wanted to vent all the depression in his heart on this piece of dough.

Jiayi understood his concerns, although the family can still fill his stomach now, and even sometimes have a surplus, it does not mean that the family is rich.

If you eat white bread, you will spend more grain, and even if you eat the bran that has been sifted, you will use more wheat, because there is a loss of flour grinding and sifting flour. With the current technical conditions, this loss will not be low.

Jia Yi thought for a moment and said, "I know, Dad, just do it this time." In the future, it will all get better. ”

The two of them remained silent, pretending to knead the dough diligently, as if they were making something very delicate.

The dough did seem to be a little dry, and Kaichi took a little water in his hand and sprinkled it on the dough for Gary to continue kneading.

Soon, the dough was kneaded, and I saw that the surface of the dough the size of the adult's hands together was smooth, and when I poked it with my hand, it was slightly sunken and not sticky.

Originally, the finished dough was left to ferment in a warm place for a while, but this dough is not used immediately, but is preserved and used only after the wheat flour is milled at home.

So, Kaichi left the kneaded dough for a short while, let it wake up slightly, and put it in the remaining white flour.

"This one is to be kept, and when the flour at home is ready, it can be taken out and used. He said to his father, who was watching from the side, as he put the dough down.

This is the old face that Jiayi has to do, the first step in the preparation work, completed.
